Chapter 247: Summoned

"Still can't think about Micha. The two sisters discussed for a long time, and finally Zhaoyi made up her mind, and said to the concubine, "As soon as his original superficial experience was not easy to control, this time King Gaomi took the initiative to expose that he was originally reckless, but the master who was killed step by step, my sister thinks how terrible such a person should be? Your Majesty is old, and you and I are not young, so we can't afford to toss! It is too risky to choose him!"

"Second, once he leaves Western Xinjiang now, it will be difficult to talk about his future. With no future, he is just a child of an ordinary clan, at most his talent is a little better, what is the use of us?

"Then who do you say to choose?" Shu Guifei said with a headache, "There are only a few people in the clan...... Originally, Mizhen was suitable, and he didn't think about other people, but now it's probably because he is really in front of Zhuyu, and he always feels that others are dissatisfied with this and that. ”

Zhaoyi muttered: "Isn't this that Concubine Mo is critically ill? The two kings of Gaomi and Guangling have taken turns to serve in the side hall of Xinshou Palace with their children and grandchildren, let's take this opportunity to take a good look?"

Although Concubine Mo is only the biological mother of King Gaomi, when the first emperor was still there, due to the great favor of Rou Guifei, the mother of King Guangling, the palace concubines did not take the initiative to show favor to Rou Guifei.

Later, the first emperor died, and the Empress Dowager Meng forced Concubine Rou to be martyred, when the King of Guangling was young, less than ten years old, and it was not yet time to go out of the palace to open the mansion and live alone, Huan Guanlan and other ministers resolutely opposed the proposal of the Empress Dowager Meng to let the King of Guangling go to the emperor's tomb to guard filial piety for three years, and finally handed it over to Concubine Mo to raise.

Although Concubine Mo's attitude towards King Guangling was not as good as before after Concubine Rou left, because of the persuasion of King Gaomi and the consideration of old ministers such as Marquis Huaiyuan Zhuang, she also fulfilled her responsibility as an adoptive mother.

After King Guangling opened the mansion, every New Year's holiday, Concubine Mo was treated as the biological mother.

It's just that after the "epidemic" in the Gaomi Royal Mansion that year, Concubine Mo and Princess Gaomi changed their temperament at the same time, and they closed their doors, even at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the concubine was only willing to see her own son King Gaomi, and the visit to King Guangling was all prevaricated.

The affection of this adoptive mother and son gradually faded.

However, at this time, Concubine Mo's illness was serious, and it is said that time was running out, and King Guangling was reasonable, and of course he had to do his duty as a son of man at the sickbed.

Originally, King Gaomi was busy with government affairs, and since there was a brother like King Guangling to help serve the concubine, it was said that King Guangling should have spent more time before serving the bed, so as not to disturb his brother's business.

But before the King of Guangling took refuge in the Meng family, there is still a Concubine Meng in the house, so King Gaomi can't trust him, every time the King of Guangling enters the Hajj, he has to personally stay by the side and stare at it, which makes the atmosphere embarrassing.

After two or three times, King Guangling felt embarrassed, so he said that he was sick and stayed in the palace, and only let the prince and his wife enter the palace to fulfill their filial piety.

On this day, Zhao Taojiao wore a dress that was relatively plain and not so simple that people felt that she was preparing for filial piety, and went to the side hall of Xinshou Palace with Rong Qing'an.

Originally, Xinshou Palace was the residence of the Queen Mother, and outsiders always had to visit the Queen Mother first.

But Empress Dowager Meng is old, and her spirit is short these days, and she is too lazy to see irrelevant people, so Zhao Taojiao and his wife went directly to the place where Concubine Mo lived.

After arriving, he saw that Rong Qingchu, the prince of Gaomi, was already with his concubine Tonglian, and Rong Qingchu saw his cousin and cousin-in-law, and hurriedly got up to greet him: "You are here?"

Rong Qing'an has a deep relationship with his biological mother Princess Chai, under the influence of Princess Chai, he has always had a good impression of Gaomi Palace, before King Guangling switched to Meng's family, he was actually very opposed, especially Concubine Meng's passing house, which made him have a great opinion on King Guangling.

Seeing Rong Qingyu at this moment, he naturally wouldn't slack off, and stepped forward to salute: "Big brother!"

However, he didn't bother to look at Tonglian, he always felt that the death of his mother Princess Chai, even if Concubine Meng was not the culprit, she was also one of the accomplices, so he had an angry disgust for the concubines and the like.

At this time, he didn't even bother to give a look, and only asked, "How is my sister-in-law lately?"

Qi's was happy in the first half of last year, and he had given birth some time ago, and this time he was a daughter, because he already had three male heirs under his knees, and it didn't matter if he was a man or a woman in this child, so both Qi's and Rong Qingchu were very happy.

It's just that Qi ate too much decoction in order to get a man before, and the seven children born one after another will always have a loss to the mother.

Maybe there is also the reason why Rong Qingyu brought back Tonglian, anyway, after this delivery, after the confinement, the person fell ill with it, and there was still some cowardice at this time, because he was afraid of bringing illness into the palace, so he didn't come, otherwise Tonglian might not appear here.

At this moment, Rong Qingchu saw his cousin asking about his wife, and a trace of worry rose in the corners of his eyes, and he said, "Yesterday, a doctor saw it and changed the prescription again, I hope it will be effective this time!"

"Didn't you say that the wind was cold, why didn't you get better for so long?" Rong Qing'an said with concern, "Is the imperial doctor fooling?" Big brother, you have always been good-tempered, don't anyone look at this, don't pay attention to it when you diagnose and treat, right?"

Rong Qingchu shook his head and said: "The wind chill is just an introduction, in fact, Yu'er's body has been a little lost, but she didn't find it earlier." In order to get to the root of the disease, you can only take your time at this time. ”

The brothers chatted a few words about Qi's health, and Zhao Taojiao asked Rong Qingyu's newly-acquired daughter: "My niece's full moon wine, we can't go because we haven't been filial yet, so we really neglect her." When we get out of the day, we will definitely make up for our niece!"

"Brother and sister are too outward, you haven't arrived, haven't you already arrived? In that case, why make up for it?" Rong Qingchu said gently, "It's the child who has suffered from your benefits, and I haven't asked you to say goodbye until this time, and when she grows up, I will make it up to you!"

After a few words of greeting, Rong Qing'an and his wife remembered to ask about Concubine Mo's situation...... The reason why they didn't think about Concubine Mo's situation until this time was that they didn't believe that Concubine Mo was critically ill at all, and they all felt that Concubine Mo's move was just to help King Gaomi, in order to put pressure on Rong Sleeping Crane.

Rong Qing'an and his wife have no interest in the father-son battle in Gaomi Palace, and they can't talk about their feelings for Concubine Mo.

"Grandmother is very bad. However, when Rong Qing heard this, his expression quickly dimmed, and he sighed, "Actually, I asked the imperial doctor privately, and the imperial doctor said that there is still hope for grandmother, but grandmother herself has no idea of survival, and she refuses to take medicine properly...... If it goes on like this, it's ......"

Rong Qing'an and his wife showed surprise at this time, looked at each other, and asked, "Why is the concubine like this?

"I've knocked on the side with the palace people, and the Queen Mother has never had anything to do with my grandmother, and no one who is serving against my grandmother. Rong Qingchu hesitated when he heard this, "So I don't know why grandmother is like this?"

When he said this, he was a little weak-hearted, because when he heard that Concubine Mo had no desire to survive, he, like Rong Qing'an and his wife, thought that Concubine Mo was angry.

Who knew that when I asked the palace people, they all said that the concubine was indeed wronged, but it was not given by the Empress Dowager Meng, but by Princess Gaomi when she entered the palace...... That day, Princess Gaomi went back trembling with anger after smoking her mother-in-law, and the people who served Concubine Mo saw the palm prints on the princess's cheeks when they went in, and naturally they had a lot of resentment against the princess.

Because they knew the status of Princess Gaomi in the palace, King Gaomi's father and son didn't ask, and they didn't dare to say it.

Rong Qingchu went to ask, and they naturally wouldn't be polite, so they told him the ins and outs of the roundabout.

And for Rong Qingchu, the biological mother who gets along day and night must be better than the grandmother who has not seen him for many years, not to mention the events of the year, he also knows that he does not say it, but he has no complaints about Concubine Mo in his heart.

So he didn't mean anything to fall out with his grandmother and his mother, and after listening to it, he just prevaricated and appeased the palace people, telling them to serve Concubine Mo well, and there was nothing else to say.

He is not used to lying, and it is somewhat unnatural to be asked by his cousin and cousin-in-law at this moment.

Fortunately, Rong Qing'an and his wife didn't really care about Concubine Mo, and they didn't pay attention to his expression, so they only asked if they could go in to greet Concubine Mo.

I heard that Concubine Mo refused to see anyone now, including Rong Qingchu, the grandson of her own concubine, and Rong Qingchu stood outside and talked for a while, and consciously completed the task given by King Guangling, so she retired.

When they left Xinshou Palace, Zhao Taojiao looked left and right, and saw that only the palace person who led the way was walking in front, so she whispered to her husband: "Sister-in-law is sick and inconvenient to go out at this time, why did the eldest brother bring that Tonglian to the palace? Even if you don't want to disturb Jian'an, Yunyang and Guangchang are also half-grown girls. ”

Rong Qing'an snorted: "Fox and cheap maid, I don't care about my sister-in-law's good temper, if you change it in our house, even if you are soft-hearted, I will have someone kill you on the spot!"

Zhao Taojiao had a smile in her eyes when she heard this, although she knew that Rong Qing'an was greatly stimulated after the death of Princess Chai, and her disgust with the concubine in the side room was even worse than that of being a wife, but Meng Guiyu asked Concubine Meng to pass on the words, which finally made her hesitate, worried that the brother and sister would try their best to block people in their backyard.

Now that she has knocked on her husband's attitude, she is finally relieved.

Just as he was about to say a few words to vague his purpose, a waiter dressed as a steward hurriedly walked in front of him, whisking the dust with his hand, and when he got closer, he bowed deeply to Rong Qing'an and his wife, and said: "The prince, the prince's wife, the concubine is invited!"

When the couple heard this, they were stunned, Zhao Taojiao remembered the truth about Princess Chai's death, her heart sank, and she subconsciously asked: "Father-in-law, I don't know if the concubine Niangniang summoned us, what are your orders?"

As she spoke, the big girl behind her had already cleverly stuffed a heavy purse.

After the waiter put it away neatly, he said with a smile: "The two of you don't have to worry! Speaking of which, the palace maid of Leyi Palace is also talkative, and it is good to mention the little prince who disappeared last year, and the concubine Niangniang is very depressed, and I heard that the two of them happen to be in the palace, so I want to invite the two of them to go over and talk, and by the way, ask about the recent situation of the prince of Guangling and Concubine Meng." ”

The couple didn't believe it at all, but they were afraid of the Shu sisters' favor and ruthlessness, so they didn't dare to refuse, so they had to go with him, praying while walking: The concubine is definitely not specifically looking for trouble with them!
