Chapter Forty-Six: Competing for Beauty
"Concubine De seems to be in a very good mood today, and if she has any happy things, she will also say it to the mourning family."
A warm female voice replied softly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the crown princess was unwell this morning, Imperial Doctor Xuan took a look, and the imperial doctor said that the crown princess was two months pregnant!" β
's very beautiful voice makes people feel comfortable all over, coupled with the joy in her words, listening to it also makes people feel this excitement.
"Oh? In this way, the mourning family will soon be able to be a great-grandmother! "The Queen Mother was pleasantly surprised, she was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looked forward to her great-grandson!
"Send the Internal Affairs Office to send more supplements to the Prince's Mansion, and let Imperial Doctor Guo go to Hua Yun to give birth to a baby, and everything you need to eat and use has to be taken care of!"
The Queen Mother immediately ordered, and Concubine De also replied with a smile: "Yes, the Queen Mother, relax, these concubines will pay attention." β
The palace concubines heard the good news and congratulated one after another, but there was still a hint of jealousy in the seemingly peaceful congratulations.
This is not surprising at all.
Empress Yichun has no heirs except for Si Er's daughter, so following the principle of "having a grandson, no grandson is long", Ling Qianyu, the eldest son born to Concubine De, became the prince, and she took charge of the phoenix seal as a matter of course.
In order to please the Queen Mother, Concubine De deliberately chose Xu Huayun, the daughter of the Queen Mother's mother, to be the crown princess, which is already eye-catching. And now, the first great-grandson of the Queen Mother is about to be born, which has established the status of Concubine De in the heart of the Queen Mother.
The emperor has always respected the queen mother, and now that he has this blessing, isn't the prince's position more stable?
Which woman here did not want to plan for her own offspring? Who doesn't want their son to inherit the throne in the future? Obviously jealous and hateful in my heart, but now I have to bend to cater to it, it's really awkward to watch!
Qing Li only glanced slightly and lowered his head, he really didn't want to be affected by this group of hypocritical women, but unfortunately it backfired.
The congratulatory voices around gradually weakened, and a rather hearty voice sounded: "Congratulations to Sister Defei, I think that my sister will be able to be a grandmother soon, and when the time comes, my sister is really envious!" β
This voice is not as gentle and delicate as an ordinary woman, with some bold and heroic spirit, Qing Li was curious for a while, raised his eyes slightly, and saw Concubine De smiled, and affectionately took the hand of a beautiful woman, "Sister Shufei, don't worry, the third prince has also married a wife, this is also a matter of time or time!" β
She paused, as if she suddenly remembered something, "This palace remembers that the three princes have been married for more than two years, why haven't they moved?" β
As soon as her seemingly unintentional words came out, Concubine Shu's face was a little bad, but she still smiled pretendedly, "This matter pays attention to the right time and place, and I can't rush it...... "The ghost knows why Gao Meng is so useless, and he can't give birth to a seed after two years of marriage!"
The Three Princesses? Qing Li thought slightly, it seemed to be Gao Chong's eldest daughter!
has not been married for two years, either it is not easy to conceive, or it is not compatible with the third prince.
The crown prince and the third prince deceived me in the court, and it turned out that their mother concubine was also fighting openly and secretly in this deep palace! It's boring and boring.
Qing Li silently took a step back, and simply stood behind Mama Li. Standing for so long, her feet are really a little painful, when will this so-called please be safe? You don't want to keep people for lunch, do you?
For the first time, she hoped that Ling Yichen would come over quickly, at least give her a reason to leave earlier.
Gently rubbing her sore legs, Qing Li was thinking about how to be lazy, and the Queen Mother's voice rang in her ears, "Miss Qing, I have come to see all the concubines." β
Qing Li was still in the empty stage because of this sentence, but Mama Li reacted and took a step back, so Qing Li was exposed to everyone's sight.
There was an instant silence in Cirui Palace, and Qing Li could feel many eyes on him, surprised, curious, confused, and clear.
Under the baptism of everyone's eyes, Qing Li sighed in his heart and bowed slightly: "I've seen all the mothers." β
This ceremony is actually too perfunctory, but she really doesn't know the grade and position of these girls, so she can just be so general.
Everyone didn't pay much attention, just stared at the woman in the blue dress in front of them.
Her head hung slightly, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but her elegant temperament was outstanding enough, although the dress was generous and elegant, it was much simpler than the well-dressed girls.
But since she can appear in the Queen Mother, how can her identity be ordinary?
Concubine Shu came back to her senses first, and asked suspiciously, "......Who is this?"
The Queen Mother smiled and said nothing, and Concubine Yuan suddenly smiled: "Concubine Shizi, it's been a long time." β
She hadn't noticed it just now, but now she recognized it at a glance. If it weren't for her, Qi'er would be in danger, although she was also thrown twice by the prince, but she was still grateful to this princess.
Concubine Yuan's words made everyone have an epiphany.
They have also heard some folk rumors, and the last time the Thirteen Princes happened was thanks to Qing Li, they were very curious about this princess.
However, the judgment of her is only limited to the eight characters of "fresh and elegant, natural charm", and now I can really afford it!
"Princess, get up quickly." Concubine De smiled and helped her up. Now that there is no queen in the palace, she seems to be a queen. The lord of the palace should have this right.
Qing Li smiled bitterly and stood up straight, "Concubine Xie De." β
I just bent my legs, but now I'm even more sore, in this palace, I'm tired!
"Alright, sit down!"
A eunuch brought a chair and put it next to Concubine De, and Qing Li was not polite and stepped forward to sit down.
The Queen Mother looked at these palace concubines with satisfaction, thinking that she was once one of them, and now she is already a high-ranking CunzΓ i, and she can't help but feel a little emotional.
Turning her gaze to Qing Li, she just sat quietly, her quiet and elegant atmosphere was incompatible with those gorgeous and famous ladies around her, as if she did not belong to this palace, she couldn't help but yearn for it.
"In the future, the girl will be the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and if you see it in the palace in the future, you will have to take good care of it." The Queen Mother gave an order, and everyone responded one after another.
The Queen Mother just doesn't say that they won't embarrass her! Not to mention the Qing family's economic strength that is enough to shake ink and her wonderful medical skills, just because she is the princess of King Chennan, with the temperament of the prince, where do they dare to offend?
Closing her eyes gently, the Queen Mother waved her hand a little tiredly, "Okay, you all go down." β
It's still a little impatient to be disturbed by them early in the morning, but she prefers to have a good talk with the girl, this child makes people feel comfortable just looking at it.
"Yes!" The concubines quickly and neatly retreated, the speed and demeanor were jaw-dropping, and sure enough, after countless drills, practice makes perfect.
Qing Li breathed a sigh of relief, finally didn't have to face this group of women! It's just that why hasn't Ling Yichen come back yet? She doesn't want to stay in this Cirui Palace!
When he was depressed, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Imperial grandmother! Grandmother ......"
Hearing this voice, the corners of Qing Li's mouth slightly hooked up a smile.
On some Cheng dΓΉ, Si Er and Lan Xi are still a little similar, the same joy, and the temperament is also a little anxious, and this person is even more similar before he arrives.
The Queen Mother also likes this child very much, about when she was so innocent, so she loves and indulges this granddaughter extraordinarily, and she has one more pistachio by her side!
