Chapter 29 Twenty-Nine
CHAPTER XXIX
The arrival of several palace beauties suddenly made the palace brighter a lot, and the palace maids stood in the center of the hall with their respective masters, and then silently retreated to the corners on both sides, although they hung their heads, but their eyes were always on their masters, and they were ready for the masters to send.
"Queen Mother, the concubines have greeted you."
The queen and the virtuous concubine first asked the queen mother for peace, they were noble, so naturally they didn't have to kneel, but they owed a debt.
Princess An Yao Peiying followed closely, knelt down, and knelt on the ground: "The concubine on behalf of King An has asked the imperial grandmother to say goodbye, and I wish the imperial grandmother a thousand years old." ”
The Queen Mother sat under the hibiscus chair, her dark eyes swept down the three people under the steps lightly, her eyes were faint, and she said, "That's it, let's get up." ”
"Thank you, Mother."
"Grandmother Xie."
Yao Peiying stood up, she wanted to speak, but she didn't dare to make a mistake, but there were queen mothers and virtuous concubines standing next to her, where could she speak first?
"The queen mother, the weather is very hot these days, the queen mother sympathizes with the concubines, and asks not to come to ask for peace every day, although the concubines are grateful for the good intentions of the queen mother, but they feel that as a junior, they can come to ask for peace or come, but there are a lot of trivial things in the palace these days, and they are very busy, and the concubines have not had time to ask the queen mother for peace, and please don't blame the queen mother."
After Queen Liang Chengjun finished speaking, she glanced at the virtuous concubine, her face was full of smiles, and what she said was also tactful and soft, but her tone was not necessarily soft, and people didn't feel how sincere they were.
When the virtuous concubine Su Wanxian heard this, although her face was stunned, the corners of her lips hooked a smile that was not easy to detect, and instantly regained her weak appearance, which made people unable to capture, she opened her lips and said softly: "The queen mother has been unwell recently, although the concubine is worried, but after all, she is not familiar with medicine, and she really can't help, so she has to pray in the palace every day, hoping that the queen mother's health will improve!" The concubine heard that the morning and night prayers were the most effective, so she delayed the time to ask the queen mother for peace, and hoped that the queen mother would forgive her. "Su Wanxian was born weak, which makes people feel pitiful, and her words are very perverse and weak, and the emperor likes this type of woman very much, so she has gone from a concubine to the position of a concubine today, second only to the queen.
Liang Chengjun naturally couldn't hear Su Wanxian's filial piety words, and sneered: "Sister Xiangui is so hearted, why don't you come to Fushou Palace to accompany your mother more after praying for blessings!" ”
Su Wanxian looked at Liang Chengjun with very innocent eyes, and when she saw that the other party was aggressive, she raised her eyebrows and said very obediently: "Don't hide it from the queen, the concubine has not rested enough recently, and her body is unwell, so I am afraid that the queen mother will be worried." ”
Liang Chengjun snorted coldly: "Sister Xiangui's words are strange, you are unwell, and you are afraid that the queen mother will worry, so you can't come to ask for peace, but why are you not afraid of the emperor's worries, and you still stay in your Roufu Palace every day?" ”
Su Wanxian was very aggrieved, raised her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother, seeing that the other party's eyes were faint, she couldn't guess the Queen Mother's thoughts, so she had to retract her gaze, and her watery eyes almost shed tears: "The emperor heard that the concubine was sick, so he came to Roufu Palace to see the concubine out of concern, and the concubine also advised the emperor not to come to Roufu Palace, but the emperor didn't listen, where is there any other way for the concubine to let the emperor leave......"
"You don't have a way to leave, but you have a lot of ways to stay!" Liang Chengjun hadn't seen the emperor for a month, and even the days of the routine gathering of the emperor and queen on the fifteenth day of the month ended because of Su Wanxian's sudden illness, so he naturally held back his anger in his heart, and at this moment, he deliberately made Su Wanxian unable to come to the stage. "As the master of the harem, this palace naturally wants the sisters in the palace to ask for rain and dew, you occupy the emperor so much, and you deliberately ignore the face of this palace."
Tears were already rolling in Su Wanxian's eyes, and her delicate appearance would have been eager to let her embrace her if a man was there. "Why is the queen so suspicious of her concubines, the concubines have been in the palace for so many years, and naturally they know the rules in the palace, and naturally they will not enter the palace...... Really ......"
Lin Sansi has been standing quietly in the corner, in front of her are the most powerful women in the Southern Night Country, all of them are sarcastic and insinuating when they speak, Lin Sansi feels like he is watching TV, but it is a living person standing in front of him, not an emotionless TV. Regarding the queen's strong aggressiveness, Lin Sansi did not fight for Su Wanxian, because she knew that Su Wanxian was not as kind, weak and innocent as she appeared to be, she had a son like Ning Wang Huo Jin, who was very deep in the city, so she didn't necessarily have how simple and clean she was, and although she looked weak and helpless just now, she didn't give in the slightest between her words. And the reason why Queen Liang Chengjun dared to blame Su Wanxian so unscrupulously was precisely because her son King Liang was replacing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in supervising the country, she was already the mother of a country, and it was not impossible for King Liang to become the crown prince for a long time, besides, King Liang had already given birth to the only emperor and grandson of the Southern Night Kingdom, which was the most important bargaining chip, and in her opinion, there were naturally more chips in her hands than Su Wanxian!
Lin Sansi sighed secretly in his heart, he has been the queen for so long, Liang Chengjun still doesn't know, no matter how many chips she has in her hand, she has not been favored by the emperor who is high, nothing will help, the position of the prince is just a word from the emperor many times, he likes to let whoever becomes the prince, who can become the prince, not whoever has more chips in his hand can control it!
The Queen Mother listened to the words of the two quietly, she had heard a lot of this kind of words, and she had already practiced the ability to listen but not hear, and only then did she say lightly: "Concubine Xian Guifei did come to the mourning family to take leave when she was sick, and the queen does not need to blame." ”
When the queen heard this, she was about to refute herself, but was stopped by the queen mother looking up.
The Queen Mother patted the dark brown robe lightly, looked at the faces of the two of them, and said lightly: "The queen worries about the trivial matters of the harem every day, she really works hard, and some things are hindered by the situation and do not interfere much, but the mourning family feels that some things really can't be done regardless of the situation, and the queen will be in charge tonight, and which concubine will be assigned to serve the emperor." ”
Lin Sansi couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother when she heard this, and met twice, she always felt that the Queen Mother was too different from the rumored Queen Mother who was eloquently discerning with the ministers in the court, sometimes she felt that she was like a kind old grandmother who sold wheat candy, and now she suddenly felt that the rumors were not groundless, the Queen Mother's seemingly casual words, but in fact, she was invisibly controlling a qiē, one seemed to be helping the virtuous concubine, and one seemed to be helping the queen mother, but later she suddenly found that she didn't help anyone, The queen mother and the virtuous concubine have choked on me for a long time, but they haven't taken a benefit, the emperor is determined to spend time with a concubine tonight*, but that person is not the queen's mother, and he is definitely not the virtuous concubine!
The queen can't swallow this breath, but who doesn't know that the emperor respects the queen mother the most, if she wants to be more reliable in the queen's position, don't you have to suppress her temperament and follow the queen mother! Then he said: "Since the queen mother has made arrangements, the concubines will follow them." ”
Su Wanxian already had an aggrieved face, but her face was even worse after listening to the words of the Queen Mother, everyone said that she occupied the emperor, but she didn't know her unknown suffering. Recently, the emperor has indeed rested in her palace, but that is because she knows how to please the emperor, after all, the emperor's body is not as strong as that of young people, and sometimes when it comes to passion, she has tried her best to help the emperor after all, and she is a little exhausted every day, but who is to blame? The emperor snubbed her for a while because of a new beauty, she deliberately fell ill in the rain, provoked the emperor to visit her palace, this hope was kept by her for two months, at such an age, seeing that the emperor's body is not as good as one day, and King Liang has another grandson on his side, she has to plan for the future, only by getting the emperor's favor, the emperor will treat her and King Ning better, which is also the basis of future life! Although she was a little reluctant to the queen mother's arrangement, she really wanted to take a break, so that she could better serve the emperor, so she said obediently and gently: "The concubine will listen to the queen mother's arrangement in everything." ”
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and her eyes fell on Yao Peiying, who had been silent. "Princess An, why are you back?"
