Rebirth of the Beloved Princess

Chapter 78: Think clearly

Views:

"The Empress Dowager makes atonement for her sins. My daughter has not lived up to expectations since she was a child. I am afraid she will not be lucky enough to marry into the royal family." If it had been before, Xue could have endured it, but after hearing the last words of the Empress Dowager, she would definitely not agree.

Even if she couldn't marry into Yongning Houfu, she would not let her daughter become a prince's concubine just because of a benefit exchange. The backyard of the palace is so boring. Once Tongtong is married, the most likely outcome is that there will be no trace of her body left.

Xue's refusal made the Queen Mother completely cold-faced. The tea cup in her hand knocked hard on the coffee table nearby. The harsh sound made people shiver. Xue and Gu Mingmou immediately knelt down.

"Mrs. Gu, do you not agree with the Queen Mother's suggestion?" Mrs. Yingwuhou saw that the Queen Mother's face became more and more gloomy, and she looked at Mr. How dare you take Qiao in front of the Queen Mother.

"My wife..."

"Okay, the Aijia knows that you may not be able to figure it out for a while. The Aijia will give you time to think about it, and we will talk about it after you think about it."

After saying that, she stood up and left. Mrs. Yingwu Hou looked at the two people kneeling on the ground and sneered, and hurriedly followed the Queen Mother.

"The Queen Mother, Mrs. Xue is really ignorant of current affairs. Why did you go to see her in person and let her daughter be a concubine? You might as well just issue the order directly and dare not say anything in consideration of the Gu family." Mrs. Yingwuhou followed the Queen Mother to the inner hall. , seeing the Queen Mother who was drinking tea calmly, she couldn't help but speak.

The Queen Mother glanced at her sister-in-law and turned a blind eye to her eagerness.

She looked down upon her sister-in-law. After all, she was the son of a concubine. If her biological sister hadn't died young, she wouldn't have been able to become the Marquis of Yingwu. After so many years, he has not made any progress, he only knows how to use his power to suppress others.

The only thing she can be praised for in her life is that she gave birth to a daughter and married the King of Jin. This was because she personally begged the late Emperor. Although I despise this sister-in-law, I have to admit that she has a good life. From an inconspicuous concubine, she gradually became Madam Hou, and then became the mother-in-law of the prince. Everything that many people could never dream of, all fell into her hands.

On hand.

The Queen Mother never looks down on anyone, especially young and beautiful girls. Who knows whether the one who was in dire straits at first will become the emperor's new favorite in a few years.

She had seen many such things in the harem, and this was how she climbed up. Naturally, she would not be afraid of a mere little girl. With her in her presence, it would be impossible for Gu Mingmou to turn over, but she just didn't want things to get messy again, and she didn't want to follow the truth. Mrs. Yingwu Hou felt that letting Gu Mingmou become a certain prince's concubine was a favor to her. In fact, the Queen Mother was just too lazy to do it herself, so she thought of this method.

After all, the Gu family was only of the fourth rank. It was not easy for a daughter raised in such a small family to survive in the backyard of the palace. Even if she was lucky enough to survive, she would not be able to get out in this life.

Mrs. Yingwuhou didn't get any response after talking, and she looked a little embarrassed. After waiting for a while, she asked curiously: "The Queen Mother, if Mrs. Xue has figured it out, which prince are you going to point that Gu girl to?"

The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and said calmly: "It depends on the emperor's wishes."

She didn't say anything, but she had already made plans in her heart. Yesterday, Ning Zhaoyi came to greet her and happened to talk about Prince Heng, which made her think a little. Prince Heng's marriage has gone through many twists and turns, and he is still unmarried. In addition to filling the harem with the beautiful girls selected in the coming year, the emperor also plans to designate a princess for Prince Heng. She does not have a good impression of this grandson, and has heard many stories about him early on. With the rumors of his cruelty and cold-bloodedness, it would be a good idea for the Gu family's daughter to give it to him.

When it came to the emperor, Mrs. Yingwuhou did not dare to say anything and could only laugh.

The two rested in the inner hall for an hour. As noon approached, Gu Mingmou and her daughter were still kneeling outside.

His knees were numb and he couldn't feel the pain, but Gu Mingmou remembered this feeling - shame.

She had never thought that power was something worth cherishing before. Even if she knew that after marrying Qi Lang, she would become the wife of the prince of the Hou family, and she would become Mrs. Hou in the future, she did not think it was that great.

But when she met the Queen Mother today, she realized that the most amazing thing about marrying a man who has all the power in the world is that you can make anyone kneel at your feet.

a name

The seeds of ambition are sown unknowingly. One day they may take root and sprout, or they may rot and disappear.

Mrs. Xue never let go, and the Queen Mother made them kneel like this. They knelt until noon, until Mrs. Yingwu Hou left.

People who are too stubborn will not be lovable. After the lunch break, when she learned that Mr. Xue still refused to compromise, the Queen Mother's mood was not as good as before.

"Ignorant of current affairs."

"Your Majesty, after all, Mr. Xue has a close friendship with Mrs. Yongning. If she makes a fuss, things may not end well." The aunt in charge beside the Queen Mother couldn't help but persuade her. Kneeling for two or three hours can be used to offend. The Queen Mother used excuses like this to block it. If it was too much, it would inevitably reach the ears of the Emperor.

Even though the Queen Mother is the Emperor's biological mother, the Emperor has been raised in the former Queen's Palace since he was a child, and his relationship with the Queen Mother is not close. Now he is just trying to save face for the Queen Mother in front of the world. If he really values this biological mother so much, he will not Even when the Queen Mother showed her dissatisfaction with the imperial concubine several times, she still doted on the imperial concubine alone.

The imperial concubine has always been held in the palm of the emperor's hand. In this palace, even the queen has to stay away. Only the queen mother can barely compete with her. If the imperial concubine gets the handle, it may be difficult for the matter to end.

The only reason is that the Queen Mother is arrogant and can't bear to see her son being manipulated by a woman. Moreover, it's also because the person she sent to the Emperor's side was directly killed with a stick because he offended the imperial concubine. The two of them had long been torn apart.

After all, the Queen Mother was used to ups and downs, and the person speaking was someone who had been serving her for many years. Although she had the intention to not make things easier for the Gu family, mother and daughter, she did not intend to take action now.

After a while, he finally said reluctantly: "Okay, let's send them out of the palace, and give them a reward to teach Nanny. Let's talk about what the Ai family gave to the Gu family's daughter."

"Your Majesty is wise."

After receiving the order, the aunt in charge hurriedly made arrangements. Recruiting a nanny from her subordinates was just a matter of words, but for the Gu family, the pressure was not trivial. The Queen Mother met the Gu family's daughter and then gave her a nun to teach her. Doesn't it mean that she was not satisfied with the Gu family's daughter's upbringing

Gossip alone can kill someone without doing anything.
