Chapter 49: Mother and Daughter
As the time approached, the number of people in the temple gradually increased.
Concubine Xian looked at the seat of the concubine next to her and was empty, and she was very angry in her heart, could it be that she came with the emperor again? Obviously, she was in the same position, and even when it came to the ranking of the three concubines, she was still higher than her, why did she come last every time, as if she was noble! But she had no scruples about relying on the emperor's favor to favor her!
After waiting for a while, Concubine Chen finally appeared, and almost came with Concubine Xu, and the Queen Mother arrived last.
Concubine Xian saw that Concubine Chen came by herself today, although she was still dissatisfied with her coming so late, but her heart was finally a little more comfortable.
"Hasn't the emperor arrived yet?" asked Mama Su beside her as soon as she sat down.
Mama Su glanced at the hall, but did not see anyone from the Qianqing Palace, and whispered in the ear of the Queen Mother: "It's not here yet, it's estimated that it's going to be soon." ”
The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Why did Fu Xuan's girl serve by the emperor's side? The emperor was so busy that she forgot the hour, did she see that the hour was coming and didn't know how to remind her?"
Qingshuang just came in from outside, heard the Queen Mother's words, and hurriedly explained: "The Queen Mother is angry, Ah Xuan she didn't serve in the Qianqing Palace today, she went to Tong'an Palace to help early, and now she is still busy in the back hall, the slave maid should still be busy, Ah Xuan said that you are estimated to have arrived, let the slave maid come to serve first!"
The Queen Mother's face turned slightly pale when she heard this. Glancing at Concubine Xu, who was sitting on the right side without saying a word, she suddenly said in an unkind tone: "What about King Ning?
Everyone could hear who the Queen Mother was talking about, and they were a little embarrassed for a while. Guan Guan also knew that there was a gap between the Queen Mother and the Concubine since the last time, but he didn't understand how much contradiction would make the two women who are now high above still unable to let go of their feelings for so many years, and the Queen Mother, who has always been strict, has to go toe-for-tat every time she meets with Concubine Xu? Guan Guan quietly glanced at Concubine Xu curiously, how would she deal with the Queen Mother's obvious words?
I saw that Concubine Xu bowed her head slightly in the direction of the Queen Mother, and said flatly: "You'er was originally waiting for the concubines to come together in Yuanfu Palace, but the concubines were still a few Buddhist scriptures that had not been copied. I didn't expect this child to be so ignorant, and he hasn't come yet. I think I have been away for many years, I forgot the rules, and I hope that the queen mother and everyone will not blame, and the concubines will remind him to pay more attention to the rules in the future. After a while, he came, and the concubine asked her to compensate everyone. ”
After Concubine Xu said this, the concubines present were even more embarrassed, how could there be a reason for the concubine and the prince to make amends to them.
Guan Guan looked at the attitude of the Queen Mother again, the concubine had said everything about this, and the Queen Mother seemed to have to stop there.
Sure enough, the Queen Mother snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.
And at this time, the two big men in the inner hall didn't know that there was a dispute between the two of them outside, and they were playing with Yunyi with colored beads. Chu Tianyou may not know the rules, but it is impossible to say that Chu Tianze doesn't know either. It's just that Yun Yi was having fun, and he couldn't bear to interrupt too early.
Fu Xuan came out of the apse and wanted to see the situation in the main hall, but he didn't want to, and when he passed through the inner hall, he actually ran into Chu Tianze and them.
"The slave has seen the emperor and the prince. Fu Xuan saluted the two.
Chu Tianze already knew that Fu Xuan was here, so he only nodded, but Chu Tianyou smiled curiously: "Ah Xuan, why are you here, I said, there is no one next to the imperial brother today." ”
"The slave is here to help out a little. Fu Xuan explained.
Chu Tianyou nodded and played with Yun Yi again.
Fu Xuan looked at these three people as if they didn't have the idea of going to the main hall, and he was a little anxious, and couldn't help but remind: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to the main hall." ”
Yun Yi heard this, but he didn't follow: "I still have to play with my father." ”
Chu Tianze looked at the time, it was on time, and it was not good to delay it any longer, so he said to Yun Yi: "Yun Yi, your mother estimates that she has arrived." ”
"Ah, the concubine is here, then let's go quickly!" Yun Yi threw away the colored beads in his hand and said hurriedly.
Chu Tianyou looked at Yun Yi speechlessly, this little girl became really fast.
Chu Tianze smiled and took Yun Yi's little hand: "Let's go." ”
Chu Tianyou and Fu Xuan were also walking behind.
Everyone in the main hall was taken aback when they saw Chu Tianze and his party coming out of the inner hall. Could it be that the emperor has been staying in the inner hall all the time?
Guan Guan was also very strange, why didn't he come out earlier after waiting in the inner hall?
The Queen Mother was the first to react, and Yan said, "Emperor, why didn't you stay in the inner hall and come out earlier?"
Without waiting for Chu Tianze to speak, Concubine Xu said first, she frowned and looked at Chu Tianyou and reproached: "Ayou, didn't you let you come earlier, why did you make everyone wait for so long?"
When Chu Tianyou heard this, he looked aggrieved, and the imperial brother didn't remind him. Glancing at the concubine, Chu Tianyou reluctantly admitted his mistake and said, "My son knows that he is wrong." Then he bowed his hand to the concubines: "I also apologize to all the sisters-in-law, and it is the king's fault that you have waited for a long time." ”
Chu Tianyou said this, but he didn't bring the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother was a little displeased. Although the concubines wanted to say that this was not a big deal, King Ning really didn't need to care too much, but they didn't dare to say anything about the Queen Mother's face.
Yun Yi couldn't stand the words of the adults, so he pulled Chu Tianze's hand and looked at him aggrievedly. Chu Tianze understood her thoughts, glanced at Concubine Chen's direction, and smiled at Yun Yi: "Go ahead." ”
As soon as Yun Yi got Chu Tianze's permission, she wanted to rush over, but she was a little worried that Concubine Chen would be unhappy, so she slowly walked to Concubine Chen's side and looked at Concubine Chen pitifully: "Mother." ”
Concubine Chen just saw the little Yun Yi beside Chu Tianze at first sight, and she was very distressed, resisting the urge to hold her in her arms and not looking at her much. At this moment, Yun Yi's appearance is in front of her, where can she still control it, her Yun Yi, how long has she not seen it. Looking at Yun Yi's aggrieved appearance with a small mouth, Concubine Chen carefully hugged her into her arms.
When they saw a small figure passing by, they noticed that there was a child in the temple. There are many newcomers in the palace who have only heard of Yun Yi, but they have never seen him, and they are curious about who this child is. It wasn't until she walked to Concubine Chen's side that they knew that this was Princess Yunyi, who was favored by the emperor.
When Concubine Xian saw Yun Yi, she felt aggrieved again.
Guan Guan looked at the mother and daughter who hugged each other tightly, and sighed in his heart. She saw Yun Yi's feelings for her mother, and when she saw Concubine Chen's actions today, she also knew that Concubine Chen must also love Yun Yi very much, and she must have a hard time. Guan Guan thought that the corners of his eyes were a little wet.
Not daring to look at it for a long time, Guan Guan raised his eyes and looked away, but just happened to bump into Chu Tianze's eyes. He was looking at her, and he didn't know how long. Guan Guan thought of his appearance at this moment, and was a little embarrassed for a while, so he quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears.
Chu Tianze also quickly retracted his eyes and stepped into the upper position.
