Chapter Forty-Nine: Entering the Palace
Looking at the little daughter-in-law smiling and saluting herself, the noble aura on her body is not something that ordinary women can have, and then thinking about what the Queen Mother said, vaguely she seemed to know who this person was, and hurriedly turned sideways and let go, and knelt down according to the big gift of the order: "The courtiers visit the prince's side concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." Shen Li was dizzy when she saw it, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Mrs. Hou up, and said with a smile: "Why is Mrs. Hou so gifted, don't dare to take this seriously!" The Queen Mother sat there and said with a smile: "The family is all relatives, and there are no outsiders, so don't go to the Lilly ceremony, look at it awkwardly, and sit down to talk." The boss spoke, and the two naturally sat at the head together, and the queen mother sent a piece of red bean cake to her mouth, and asked with a smile: "Wu'er Niang, what is the important thing that you are anxious to enter the palace today to see the mourning family?" After hearing this, Mrs. Hou left her seat, took two steps forward, knelt down and replied: "The concubine entered the palace this time to ask the Queen Mother to be the master of Wu'er." How could the queen mother of the human spirit not know about the events of these two days, but she should not know and ask, "What's wrong with Wu'er?" Aren't you? What is there that you can't do and want to come to the mourning family? Mrs. Hou listened to the Queen Mother's inquiry before she burst into tears, and her head fell deeply to the ground: "The concubine has lost a piece of the Queen Mother's heart, and the concubine has done something wrong for her own careful thinking, and the Queen Mother will not dare to complain if she wants to blame the concubine, so she only asks the Queen Mother to help Wu'er return to the family affairs of the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
"Oh, when did Wu'er have a relationship with this prime minister's house, he actually had to say that he didn't say anything to the emperor and the mourning family, so that everyone was in the dark. It's really getting worse and worse! The Queen Mother frowned and said angrily.
Mrs. Hou cried: "The Ning family took advantage of my connection with the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the Buddha Hall, and coaxed the Lady Hou to go down to this family affair, that is, just before the concubine was about to enter the palace, the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion also came to the Hou Mansion to see the concubine, and there was no threat in her words. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but look at Shen Li who was sitting on the side with tears in his eyes: "Concubine Niangniang, the concubine knows that your status is noble, but the concubine still wants to say something here You may be unhappy to hear, anyway, this matter is due to the fighting spirit between you and your sister-in-law, and poor Wu'er is being dragged in it." Listening to Mrs. Hou's words, Shen Li looked at each other with the Queen Mother in some surprise, when Mrs. Hou came, the Queen Mother was telling her that Mrs. Hou's temperament seemed to be soft, and she never dared to say a word about Lord Hou's words, so she was climbed to the top of her head by a small concubine and became a joke in the whole capital, but she didn't want to be able to say such things in front of the Queen Mother and herself now.
The queen mother motioned for her to come forward and help the crying sad Mrs. Hou to sit down again, Shen Li took the tea bowl with gold border blue flowers held by the palace maid and sent it to Mrs. Hou, Fang said with an apologetic smile: "I heard about this incident, I really didn't expect the sister-in-law in the prime minister's house to act like this, and it was still like this, and I was also uneasy in my heart." Madame doesn't have to be so anxious, isn't this matter undecided, isn't it up to Madame to decide whether or not to be a daughter-in-law like Meixiang, Madame can settle down! I don't believe you, ask the Queen Mother if this is the case. Listening to the very evil princess concubine who has been rumored in the market recently, she said with a smile on her face, I don't know why, her heart also began to settle down, looking at the queen mother sitting on it, she actually smiled slightly and did not have a trace of displeasure, looking at the princess and concubine The appearance is obviously different from when she looks at the ladies and ladies of the various families on weekdays, and actually sees a trace of the elders' doting on the younger generations she loves, Mrs. Hou can't help but be secretly shocked in her heart, and thinks that her daughter and the difficult and arrogant princess are friends with her, Thinking about it, it must not be as simple as looking at it on the face, and thinking about it, I took advantage of the situation and responded softly with the resentment in my heart: "It's also that the concubine is anxious for a while, and I hope that the concubine won't take it to heart." ”
"Every mother will think about her own children and daughters, this is human nature, seeing Mrs. Hou so for her parents, it really makes Lier envious, but it's a pity that Lier has no mother since she was born, I don't think anyone can care so much about Lier." Shen Li said with a sincere smile.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she heard this, how could such a well-behaved child be born in such a family, if she hadn't entered the prince's mansion by mistake, she didn't know what the future would be?
Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand: "Li girl, what nonsense are you talking about there, come here to the imperial grandmother, there is the imperial grandmother who loves you." Shen Li could naturally see that this high-ranking old man was telling the truth at this time, not the kind of falsehood floating on the surface, and the bottom of her heart was also a little warm, so she took two steps forward and nestled in the arms of the most noble old man like a kitten: "It's still the imperial grandmother who loves me, but I don't know if your good grandson bullies me, who will you help then?" Stretched out his hand and pinched the pink face in his arms, "Didn't you say this to make the imperial grandmother and me embarrassed?" But you weird girl, De'er's good grandson won't bully you, as long as you don't bully him! "This side was talking about the excitement, and the grandmother outside came in to report and said: "Mrs. Xiangfu brought Mrs. Xiangfu to ask to see outside." When Mrs. Hou heard this, she became nervous again, and couldn't help but stand up and look at the Queen Mother: "This... The Queen Mother smiled coldly on her face, "This Xiangfu family is really restless, it's only been a few days, just tossing like this, and I'm not afraid of tossing my own mansion into it, just let them in and see what they want to toss!" Thinking about Mrs. Hou's weak temperament, if she said something for a while, she couldn't stand it, so she asked Mama to accompany her to avoid it first, and Shen Li sat on the side and drank tea without shying away from it.
Mrs. Xiangfu took the eldest lady into the hall, first knelt down and said hello to the Queen Mother, and raised her head to find that the Queen Mother was still sitting with a person who was extremely disgusted in her heart, and now the Prince's side concubine, Shen Li, it is a rule to greet the Queen Mother, but to say goodbye to a cheap granddaughter (concubine) who went out in the Prime Minister's Mansion is the last thing these two people want to do, thinking that this girl is usually no matter how rampant, in front of the Queen Mother, she must be careful to please the Queen Mother. Since she didn't dare to speak ill of herself and ruin the Queen Mother's favor, she had to get past.
Thinking of this, the old lady pretended to be nothing and smiled lovingly at Shen Li: "Sister Li also went to the palace to see the Queen Mother, this child has been skinny since he was a child, and this is not with the prince, so the Queen Mother is worried." ”
