Chapter Eighty-Three: Doubts

It turned out that today happened to be the mother of the imperial concubine, the Duchess of Fuguo, who came into the palace to see the imperial concubine, and the Duchess of Fuguo had a son and a daughter, and her son Changle Hou Yipin Junhou, although he did not have military power in hand, but he commanded 10,000 soldiers and horses in the western camp, and his military achievements were impressive.

And the daughter Imperial Concubine married the royal family as a concubine, and gave birth to two princes, which is even more favorable.

When the Duchess of Fuguo was young, she was the first talented woman in the splendid imperial city, and she worshipped the famous musical instrument master at that time as a teacher, and she played the piano well.

Ling Ruoxuan seemed to have not seen her mother for a long time, and when she saw her mother walk into the hall like this, she was slightly distracted, if it wasn't for Scarlet Xia pulling her sleeve, she would have come back to her senses.

The Duchess of Fuguo was dressed in ochre-colored court clothes, but she was a little more majestic and dignified, and her eyes were indeed not angry and arrogant, and she bowed down: "The courtiers ask the imperial concubine for peace." ”

How dare the imperial concubine accept such a big gift, so she had to kneel down too: "Mother, don't kneel Ah Xuan, my daughter can't afford it." ”

Scarlet Spring and Scarlet Summer hurriedly pulled the old woman up and helped her wipe the dirt off her body, and the imperial concubine also got up and pulled her mother to sit on her chaise longue couch, the Duchess of Fuguo was not very happy, but the imperial concubine still pressed her mother on this couch: "Mother, just sit at ease in the daughter's palace." ”

He also instructed Zhang Luo's mother to eat what she liked: "My mother's favorite is Biluochun, and my favorite thing to eat is honey bean paste cake and mung bean sesame cake, remember not to put sugar in mung bean sesame cake." ”

Duchess Fuguo looked at her daughter with a relieved face: "You are your mother's child. After so many years, I still remember that now you are in the palace to help Wan'er get favored, and it is difficult for you. Now with Wan'er's help, my mother is relieved. ”

Duchess Fuguo's words sounded a little angry, but as a daughter, she couldn't say more, and the imperial concubine shook her head and said: "I heard that the harvest in Jiangnan is not very good because of the rainy weather, and the emperor is afraid that he is very busy, and our emperor is afraid that he is worried." ”

Duchess Fuguo looked at the imperial concubine and asked, "I heard that Concubine Yao has another imperial heir." It's really lucky, but I heard that the imperial concubine used to take cold medicine, but I don't know why my daughter did this? ”

The imperial concubine closed her eyes. The long eyelashes covered the black marks in the eye sockets, and the red lips pursed lightly: "It's just a last resort, so don't ask your mother." ”

Seeing her like this, Duchess Fuguo could only sigh and say, "You have grown up." It should also be considered for the Ling Mansion. Don't let power break your body. Your father has had back pain all day for the past two years, and he can't work anymore, so he has already handed over his resignation to the emperor. ”

The imperial concubine frowned and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Seeing her full of doubts, the Duchess of Fuguo did not hide it from her: "When your eldest brother came back from the palace that day, he met an assassin, but fortunately, with the help of the prince of Weiguo, he was able to retreat from the enemy." Your father was afraid and had no choice but to do so. ”

The imperial concubine heard this. I was shocked: "How could I be assassinated?" But that day, Zhang Huatai in the palace held a banquet? ”

The Duchess of Fuguo nodded, with a helpless expression: "He is the Emperor of Changlehou." is also in charge of a battalion of soldiers and horses, and must have secretly offended many people, but I don't know who did it? ”

When the imperial concubine heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Brother Pingsu loves to make friends, will he never do this?" Why didn't you report to the authorities? ”

Duchess Fuguo shook her head: "It was night, and the prince of Weiguo was really skilled, and your brother did not make a move, but from the scene, this group of black-clothed people had already premeditated, and knew that your brother must be lax when he went to the banquet, and he knew the itinerary well." Your father was timid and inevitably fell into the hearts of others, so he had the idea of discharging his armor and returning to the field. ”

The imperial concubine exhaled and frowned: "Why is this happening?" ”

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and asked, "What did you find at the scene?" ”

Duchess Fuguo looked at her daughter and said, "It's a black wooden token. ”

The imperial concubine sighed: "This matter is too weird, I know that my brother is going to the banquet, except for the palace, the emperor and the prince of the country, there is no one else." ”

Suddenly, it seemed that he remembered something, and a thought popped up in his mind, could it be Wan'er?

At this time, a palace maid reported that Xin Wanrong was here and was waiting in the front hall.

The imperial concubine's phoenix eyes exchanged a look with the Duchess of Fuguo, but she saw Wan'er happily entering the hall, and then Ming'er also gave a salute to the master: "Please say hello to the imperial concubine, and my aunt (Duchess Fuguo) is well." ”

The smile on the imperial concubine's lips was a little unnatural: "Get up, it's a coincidence today, cousin, please take a seat." ”

Xin Wanrong got up and instructed Ming'er to hand over a large bouquet of peach blossoms in her hand to Scarlet Chun: "At this time, Sister Yao is in the palace, my sister thinks it looks good, so Sister Yao Concubine gave some, do my sister and aunt look good?" ”

The imperial concubine saw that she was in a good mood, so she stretched her brows: "This peach blossom sister Yao has already sent a few branches, and my sister's theses are also very colorful, very worthy of my sister, it is better for my sister to take it to her own bedroom, so that the emperor will be happy to see it." ”

Xin Wanrong originally wanted to give these peach blossoms to the imperial concubine, but when she heard that she already had them here, she was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know what to say.

The imperial concubine's eyes were a little joking: "Sister, this peach blossom is a gift from Sister Yao, naturally I can't live up to the affection of others, or put it in my sister's bedroom, I heard that Sister Yao also gave you a pot of snowflake green, you can be friends, and my sister is also happy." Concubine Yao is pregnant with the imperial heir, and her sister should work harder. ”

Seeing that her daughter was noble and generous, the Duchess of Fuguo easily solved the matter, and then looked at Xin Wanrong, who had a good face, but this temperament still needs to be honed.

"Since you two sisters have something to say, the old body will retire." The Duchess of Fuguo stood up and saluted, with a pair of eyes with a little inexplicable thought.

"Why don't mothers spend more time so that their daughters and sisters can talk more to their mothers." The imperial concubine held her mother's hand and was very reluctant.

Duchess Fuguo smiled: "You are the imperial concubine, not as usual, you should think more about everything, but Wan'er is young, and she will be supported by her a lot, and the prince will be by her side as soon as possible, and the future will be good." ”

Xin Wanrong heard this, and was slightly shocked: "Wan'er knows." ”

Bidding farewell to her mother, the imperial concubine had tears in her eyes, but Wan'er whispered: "Sister, let's go back to the palace." ”

The imperial concubine looked at Wan'er, with a pair of fierce eyes: "The palace still forgot, the person who learned that the palace invited his brother to a banquet in Zhanghuatai that day is still you." ”

Wan'er was shocked in her heart, but she didn't believe it: "Why does my sister think so?" ”

Looking at her such a pitiful appearance, the imperial concubine smiled coldly: "I used this palace, if this palace doesn't know it, it's really the biggest fool." ”

When the imperial concubine left, the clear sky was covered with dark clouds, layer upon layer, pressing on people's hearts, heavy,

Xin Wanrong looked at the figure of the imperial concubine brushing her sleeves away, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, is it really wrong?

She clearly remembered what her mother said: "In the palace, it is not for you to rely on the imperial concubine, but to become another imperial concubine, or even a queen." ”

That's why he planned Zhang Huatai's affairs, and he knew that his cousin would be there, but it was precisely in this way that he could die to himself, wasn't he?

However, who can really know that the emperor just uses himself as a tool to vent his desires, and every time he is lucky, he is fierce and cruel, which is not at all the same as the gentleness that other palace concubines say. What's more, the emperor had no intention of letting herself conceive the emperor's heir, and every time he had to pour her to drink the bitter and unpleasant shunzi soup. This is the grace of the emperor, heh-she wanted to laugh, but she couldn't laugh at all, so she could only look coldly at the dark clouds in the sky with tears in her eyes.

Where has Ming'er seen such a master, watching her cry, she can only wipe her clean with a handkerchief, seeing that it is going to rain, Xin Wanrong's red lips opened slightly, and muttered: "Let's go back." (To be continued.) )
