Chapter 12

Pan Chen never thought that he had lived in the palace for more than a year, and the Queen Mother had not sent anyone to summon her to meet her.

This Empress Dowager Yan is not Qi Mozhou's biological mother, Qi Mozhou is Qi Zhengyang's eldest son, compared with other children who grew up safely by Yan's side, Qi Mozhou grew up in the military camp with Qi Zhengyang since he was a child, and he was raised by Qi Zhengyang.

Pan Chen didn't know what the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor was, but after last night's 'formalities', it should have been pasted. The emperor's woman's label, but as soon as the emperor left in the morning, the queen mother sent someone to send the soup and urgently summoned her to meet her, this is definitely not an empathetic mother-in-law, and even this kind of strong oppressive and provocative behavior fully shows the queen mother's uneasiness and distrust of her environment, through guò her series of unfriendly expressions, Pan Chen deduced that the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor should not be very good.

This one...... If the relationship is good, it's nothing, everyone is kind and welcomes each other with a smile, but this relationship is not good, Pan Chen is facing a choice question, the queen mother is in charge of the harem, and the emperor is in charge of the world, this is like the difference between the department manager and the president, standing in line seems to have become Pan Chen's primary problem now.

The Queen Mother announced, Pan Chen didn't dare to delay, even if his legs were weak, he had to go to it, Ma Yu changed his clothes, and after he freshened up, he went to the Kangshou Palace where the Queen Mother was located.

In Kangshou Palace, red sandalwood incense, honorable and luxurious, judging from the furnishings and utensils, the preference for extravagance, I think the queen mother's personality should be more flamboyant when she was young.

When Pan Chen entered, Concubine Xian, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Shuyuan were all there, with the posture of a three-hall trial foreman, Pan Chen held his breath, and a grandmother wearing a cyan palace dress led her to the Queen Mother, after saluting, Yan smiled and beckoned to Pan Chen, Pan Chen got up and walked to her, Yan said gently:

"Look at the children of this sign, I always say that the Pan family is a beauty, and people like it when they see it."

Yan is a woman in her early fifties, tall and thin, with a long face, a little high cheekbones, although she is coated with thick powder, but the bottom of her eyes is still dark, and the corners of her eyes are sharp.

Pan Chen has always said not much, and the Liu family always said that she would not come, so she just smiled shyly at the praise of the Queen Mother.

Yan held Pan Chen's hand affectionately, as if looking at her long-lost child, and his words were also heartwarming:

"Last night, when you accepted the favor for the first time, the emperor was reckless, did it hurt you?"

As soon as this sentence was asked, the atmosphere in Kangshou Palace was not right, Pan Xiao was okay, as cold and arrogant as ever, and he didn't look interested in anything, Ning Yue was a princess of the previous dynasty, born with a noble spirit, and she was also born with a flower and moon appearance, delicate and soft, after listening to Yan's words, she also deliberately raised her eyes to look at Pan Chen, and then exchanged glances with Pan Xiao, while Shen Yun did not hide her gaze, staring at Pan Chen, as if she wanted to cut off two taels of flesh from Pan Chen.

Pan Chen looked at his heart and replied respectfully: "If you go back to the Queen Mother, this is the concubine's body, and she is not injured." Pan Chen's rules and regulations are decent, like a kicking and rolling wood, biasing her to look at each other, and she has not lost the rules, so that people can't find a reason to get rid of it.

The Yan family had also heard of it before, Miss Seven of the Pan family was useless, she didn't hear any movement when she was in the Pan family, and her appearance was reasonable, but she really couldn't compare with Pan Xiao, such a woman, that is, the icing on the cake sent by the Pan family, the emperor has always loved talents, the most annoying and dull person, how could he like her, it's just a thing.

Pan Chen immediately understood the micro-expression at the corner of Yan's lips, which confirmed the meaning of what she was thinking, her eyes glanced down to the left, and her index finger moved regularly, which was obviously comparing her with someone, needless to say, this person must be Pan Xiao, because both of them are daughters from the Pan family, it is normal to compare them together, Pan Xiao's excellence must make Yan feel in crisis, why? Because the middle palace is empty, the Yan family must want to arrange a person of their own to be the mother of the main palace for Qi Mozhou, and the current situation seems that Pan Xiao's strength is the strongest, and the most noble background, Ning Yueru is the princess of Ningguo, it is impossible for her to be the queen, Shen Yun was born in the Zhenguo Mansion, the family of honors, and there is no reputation in the field, so among the three people, it is Pan Xiao who has the greatest chance of winning the posterior, and the table of the Pan family, in Yan's opinion, is that the Pan family is also bound to win the posterior, and it is not enough to send a daughter, but also send a second one, so, Yan hurriedly summoned Pan Chen to the audience, in order to see how many catties and taels Pan Chen had, and Pan Chen's table Xiàn made Yan very satisfied, a weak and wooden vase, without dragging Pan Xiao's hind legs, was already a creation, so far, Yan made a preliminary evaluation of Pan Chen.

Let Pan Chen take a seat, and then the leader will begin to speak:

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, self-denial and filial piety, a year has not set foot in the harem, this is the emperor's filial piety, mourning family is very comforting, after the filial piety period, yesterday Pan Zhaoyi first inherited the rain and dew, it is a great joy, the emperor went west, leaving the mourning family in the world, that is, to mourn the family will be the Qi bloodline, the first emperor has been fighting horses all his life, and the mourning family has gathered less and left more, even so, the first emperor also left four sons and three daughters, the emperor went in and out of the military camp with the emperor at a young age, there was no wife and no concubine around him, and there were no heirs so far, now there are only four of you in the harem, it is really empty, The mourning family intends to draft for the emperor to fill the harem and extend the heirs, I don't know what you think? ”

Pan Chen sat at the end, looking at the reactions on the faces of the other three women, Pan Xiao was as calm as ever, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, as if he was a little disdainful, Ning Yueru slowly stirred the handkerchief in his hand with both hands, looking a little uneasy, Shen Shuyuan bit her lip secretly, it seems that except for Pan Xiao, Ning Shufei and Shen Shuyuan are not very willing to give the emperor a draft. Pan Chen felt helpless for a while, he knew that the Queen Mother was going to be drafted, why did Pan Tan send her to the palace, it was really better to be a human being.

"What, are you okay?"

The Queen Mother smiled and asked again.

Shen Shuyuan finally couldn't help it, stood up and spoke: "The Empress Dowager, the emperor's heirs are thin, it's not that I can't wait, the prince's mansion is only a few months of effort, the emperor who was still the prince at that time did not spend most of the night in the house, after the death of the first emperor, the emperor ascended the throne, diligent in the government, and took into account the filial piety for the first emperor, he has not set foot in the harem for a year, and he is not afraid of the jokes of the queen mother and the sisters, so far the emperor has not set foot in my room, and now the queen mother wants to draft for the emperor and fill the harem. … The emperor will not set foot in my palace. ”

Pan Chen was a little surprised, the emperor hadn't touched Shen Shuyuan? Could it be that in the first few months in the Prince's Mansion, Pan Xiao has been favored alone? If that's the case, it's no wonder Pan Xiao can't bear it.

The Queen Mother listened to Shen Shuyuan's words, and her face showed regret, but the slightly curled palm showed her impatience with Shen Shuyuan, and the Queen Mother looked at Pan Xiao and Ning Yueru again, and asked:

"Oh, Shen Shuyuan's worries can be understood, what about you? What do you think of Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu? Today, they are all in their own family, and it doesn't hurt to say anything. ”

Pan Xiao and Ning Yueru glanced at each other, and Ning Yueru stood up and said:

"There are some things that my position is embarrassing and shouldn't be said, but I can also understand what Shen Shuyuan meant, neither Shen Shuyuan nor I have been favored by the emperor, and after the draft, I am afraid that it will be even more ...... I'm just that, my identity is here, and the emperor should snub me, but I can't let Shen Shuyuan and Pan Zhaoyi, who just accepted favor, be left out in the cold. ”

Ning Yueru's scheming was all written on her face, for fear that others would not know that she was playing tricks, in fact, Pan Chen felt that it didn't matter if a person was stupid, it was good to be diligent, but he was afraid that he would be stupid and not know it, and he always had to do something smart to show himself, but he didn't know that it was self-defeating, so that people could see through it at a glance, Pan Xiao had a good relationship with her in the past, but she didn't expect to mention it at all, which was also an accident.

Pan Chen's gaze turned to look at Pan Xiao, who was not shocked, it seems that when he was in the Prince's Mansion, Pan Xiao was really a special pet, which shows that Qi Mozhou should like her very much.

Yan smiled: "You are an empathetic person. He turned to look at Pan Xiao and asked, "What did Concubine Xian say?" ”

Pan Xiao glanced at the three mortal objects next to her expressionlessly, still holding her breath, and said softly:

"The royal family is the most important bloodline, and it is imperative to extend the heirs, and the concubines are naturally in favor."

Yan nodded with satisfaction: "It's still a virtuous concubine who is generally knowledgeable and sensible." ”

This sentence means that Concubine Shu and Shuyuan don't know the general situation, they don't understand reason, and they slap their faces in the face, it's all a routine.

I also know that the Queen Mother asked them just to go through the motions, and there must have been a conclusion in their hearts, maybe they have already made Qin Tianjian look good for a while, their opinions are insignificant at all, agreeing is to understand the general situation, and disagreeing is not reasonable.

From beginning to end, the Queen Mother didn't ask Pan Chen what he meant, of course Pan Chen didn't want to express his opinion, although he went through the formalities last night, but Pan Chen would not be stupid enough to treat the emperor as his own private property, the emperor is a creature, it's good to prostitute occasionally, if you really want to be emotional, then the painting style is wrong.

A newcomer meeting without a splash ended in a more awkward atmosphere, the queen mother conveyed her central idea, the four concubines understood the spirit, and then retired with a friendly salute.

Pan Chen retreated to the door and let the other three go first, Ning Shufei and Shen Shuyuan were angry, their faces were not very good, and they were in a hurry, passing by Pan Chen's side, they stopped together, and baptized Pan Chen with contemptuous eyes, and then went out with a roll of their eyes, as for Pan Xiao...... Although the two are sisters, Pan Chen still entered the palace in order to prevent disasters for her, but after entering the palace for a year, it doesn't matter if others don't summon Pan Chen, Pan Xiao also ignores her, in view of this, Pan Chen naturally doesn't expect to get any inspiration from Pan Xiao, you are cold, I can't be enthusiastic, and I am completely courteous to the concubine, without the slightest sisterly intimacy.
