Since the news in the palace that he was going to force Prince Shen to take a side concubine, there was an uproar in the circle of noblewomen in the capital.

But everyone said that it came down to it, but Prince Shen and Princess Shen seemed to have made up their minds, and there was almost no news, and even the usual visits between other princesses and concubines were politely refused.

Everyone is feeling sorry and sympathetic to the Murong family, after all, when the Murong family married King Shen, it was quite beautiful, and it was rumored that King Shen personally assured the old lady Murong that Princess Murong was alone in this life, so that the old lady Murong agreed.

As soon as King Shen's words came out, I don't know how many women were moved, and everyone envied the good fortune of the Murong family, so King Shen was forced to take a concubine to cause such a big sensation.

Everyone can probably guess the reason behind the tough attitude of the first few ladies in the palace this time.

It is the most important thing in the circle of noble ladies is ** gossip, everyone is a clear-eyed person, and they don't see what they look up and look down, this King Shen and his wife have been married for seven or eight years, and the love between husband and wife is indeed envious of others, but the fly in the ointment is that there have been no children.

The first two years were still young, and the palace didn't care much, and then the other brothers of King Shen became biological sons one after another, and at this time the palace was a little anxious, after all, King Ke, who got married several years later than him, had children, and this Concubine De must have begun to worry.

At first, Concubine De only quietly hinted at Qi Shen, but she was always prevaricated by Qi Shen on the grounds of poor health, and later Concubine De specially asked the imperial doctor to take a closer look at King Shen, and determined that although King Shen was relatively weak, it was nothing to have children.

Concubine De is Qi Shen's mother, so she naturally knows what her son thinks, at the beginning, he caused a sensation in the city in order to marry Murong Clan, and in the end, even the queen was pulled by him.

At that time, Qi Shen did this, and Concubine De had some thoughts in her heart, after all, you are a prince who does this for a woman, and you make such a big fuss, which is not good for his reputation. And at that time, the Murong family still had something to do with Prince Yong, and such a daughter-in-law was really not what Concubine De wanted.

But later, even the queen personally decreed the marriage of Qi Shen and Murong regardless of her previous suspicions, although she was Qi Shen's mother, she could only accept it aggrievedly.

Later, Qi Shen and Murong were also in harmony as husband and wife. Qi Shen's body and bones also showed signs of improvement, and Concubine De was a little relieved, and she was not so repulsive to the Murong family, after all, it was chosen by her own son with a lot of time, even if it was not for the Murong family. You also have to feel sorry for your own son, otherwise this child is filial and affectionate, and it will definitely be uncomfortable to be sandwiched between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

To tell the truth, this Concubine De is a relatively enlightened mother-in-law, King Shen and his wife have been married for so many years, and she has not interfered much in their small lives, but this time is getting longer and longer, and the other princes are getting married and having children one after another, and Concubine De is indeed a little unable to sit still.

This didn't summon King Shen and his wife into the palace to talk, and the result can be imagined. Of course, Qi Shen refused to favor the Murong family, but this time Concubine De was tough and followed the queen to educate the Murong family, and later, Qi Shen left the palace angrily with the aggrieved Murong family.

This is a big fuss, Concubine De was very angry, and even the queen was angry, but the people Shen Wang and his wife didn't care about this, and stayed in the house behind closed doors and didn't go anywhere, and then there was news in the palace that they were going to take a concubine for King Shen. It turned out that Concubine De, who was angry, wanted to come hard.

In Concubine De's heart, this qiē was not her son's fault, she thought that if it weren't for marrying such a princess as Murong, her son would not be like this. Since they are all married, and they are the granddaughters of Old Lady Murong, she won't say anything, but it's her fault that she hasn't come out.

This has spoiled you for seven or eight years, and it is enough for a woman, but I just want to report a grandson. As for such a big grievance, if you can't give birth, let Shen Er marry another side concubine, lest because of you, the palace can't even hold a grandson.

It is understandable that Concubine De thinks so, and this time the queen is also supportive, after all, as the mother of the queen of a country and the queen mother of King Shen, the other princes who have become families have children, and it is impossible to say that King Shen is so lonely.

But she is not so extreme, she wants to call Murong into the palace to check her body first, maybe Murong has something unspeakable, after all, King Shen and his wife are well-known loving couples, so the love is probably related to the body all year round, thinking that there are many imperial doctors in the palace who are good at gynecology, maybe it will help.

But I didn't expect that she and Concubine De would provoke the Murong family to be aggrieved, and then King Shen was not happy, so he took the princess back to the house directly, but this time it was a little stiff.

I thought that if it was Murong's problem, I would take a good look at it, and if it really didn't work, I would consider the matter of accepting the concubine, who knew that King Shen's actions were indeed a bit excessive, which made Concubine De directly say cruel words and had to force her to accept it.

It's troublesome now, no one in the palace or outside the palace wants to bow their heads first, and no one is embarrassed to step down without steps, isn't this just so stiff and dragged on for almost a month.

The queen was worried that if this matter continued, she was afraid that the emperor would also intervene, so she wanted to mediate from it, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the queen took this opportunity to hold a family banquet, hoping to take this opportunity to resolve the estrangement between Concubine De and her son and daughter-in-law.

Since it is a family banquet held by the queen herself, all the princes and princesses must attend, even if King Shen and his wife are angry, the queen's face must be given.

Today is the day of the queen's banquet, because Qi You and they still have official business, they are not on the same road with Princess Xibao, today is Princess Liu and Xibao rushed to the palace first, and Qi You and they will be later.

After all, according to the past practice, everyone before the family banquet, especially the female dependents, should arrive a little early, mainly to contact each other.

Princess Liu and Xibao each took a carriage, and Princess Liu deliberately did not bring the children with them, because the queen had hinted before that in addition to allowing everyone to get together during the Mid-Autumn Festival, this family banquet also had a purpose, which was to ease the deadlock between King Shen and his wife and Concubine De.

Princess Liu naturally won't take the child to stimulate Concubine De, as for where the King Shen and his wife are, Princess Liu has always remained silent, after all, the prince has also said hello, and it is better to let them deal with this kind of thing privately.

And Xibao didn't think too much about it, in her opinion, this was just an ordinary family banquet, but the only strange thing about her was why there was no such a family banquet in the Mid-Autumn Festival last year.

Princess Liu and Xibao arrived earlier because they were the queen's daughters-in-law, and the queen had just packed up when they arrived, and even the other ladies in the palace had not yet arrived.

Kunning Palace Yongshou Palace. Xibao followed Princess Liu to greet the queen, and the queen affectionately excused herself and gave her a seat.

Xibao sat down slowly after Princess Liu sat down, and this scene was seen by the queen, and she was quite satisfied. It seems that although this girl from the Zhao Mansion is deeply favored by You'er, she is still a steady and well-informed person, not bad.

The queen, who had a good impression of Xibao, asked out loud: "Zhao, I heard that you were injured some time ago, how are you doing now?" ”

Xibao immediately stood up respectfully and said, "Return to the queen's words." It's just a small injury, it's already healed, so the queen is worried. ”

The queen said: "Hey, it's all a family, you don't need so many rules, you just sit and talk back." ”

Xibao thanked him and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother." ”

Princess Liu on the side said: "Queen Mother, the rules of the Zhao family in the courtier's daughter-in-law's mansion have always been the best, and this is even more so in the palace." ”

Xibao smiled and did not speak.

The queen smiled: "The palace knows, look at even your princess who praises it so much." ”

Xibao said even more respectfully: "It's the princess's sister who praised it." The concubine is just young and inexperienced, and she is afraid of causing something to happen to the house. ”

The queen smiled: "It's really a little girl, hehe, it's really interesting, look, I'm nervous again." ”

Princess Liu also smiled: "Sister Zhao, the queen mother is the most kind, you are so nervous here." ”

Xibao said embarrassedly: "Yes, the queen's mother, the princess's sister." ”

The queen continued: "The Zhao family is indeed likable to people with such a personality. I heard that you were injured before, and the palace was really shocked, and then I found out that it was one of the people in Prime Minister Le's mansion. The young master of the table is murderous, ouch. But it's too dangerous. ”

Xibao said with a smile: "It's all the concubine's accident, and I finally went out of the house and encountered that incident, but the concubine was lucky and didn't have any major injuries, but the other people on the street suffered." ”

The queen snorted: "Hmph, this Prime Minister Le is also right, and he actually allowed the young master in his mansion to behave so nonsense." The emperor punished him for thinking about it behind closed doors for a month, but fortunately you don't have a big deal, otherwise?? Hum! ”

Xibao said: "Queen Xie cares, after all, the emperor has also dealt with this matter, not only Prime Minister Le was punished and thought about it behind closed doors, but Mrs. Ma was even cut off the identity of the edict, as for the culprit has been punished and exiled, the concubine is also happy for the people." ”

The queen sighed and said, "This Ma clan is really ??? Hey, not only is he arrogant with such a daughter, but even his nephew is also very arrogant, which can be regarded as self-inflicted consequences, by the way, Princess Yong, how is your house Le's good? ”

Princess Liu said: "Back to the queen's mother, okay, although this matter is a matter of Yuefu, but after all, Le's is already a person in the minister's daughter-in-law's mansion, this is what she didn't say, but this Yuefu has such an accident, she is also quite worried." ”

The queen said: "Hey, if the family really has a scripture that is difficult to read, there is a Le family in your house, and there is such a Murong family in your third brother's house, which really breaks the hearts of the palace and Concubine De." ”

Princess Liu said: "Queen Mother, Prince Shen has always been very filial, this time I'm afraid I really hurt Concubine De, right?" ”

The queen sighed: "No, your concubine is so angry that she has declared the imperial doctor, and this matter is so troublesome that the palace can't stand it." ”

Princess Liu was embarrassed: "Queen Mother, in fact, King Shen and Princess Murong have such a good relationship, this child is just a matter of time, and Concubine De is too anxious." ”

The queen said: "Hey, who said no, but this is said again, don't say that you are in the house, even the child of Siwang Ke'er has a son, can you not be in a hurry." ”

Princess Liu said: "Yes, there are a few princess brothers, except for Xiao Wu, who has not yet married, the other brothers who have become married have children, and only Prince Shen is left, and it is understandable that Concubine De is anxious, but the relationship between this King Shen and his wife has always been very good, isn't Concubine De so obviously forcing them, it's no wonder that King Shen"

The queen said: "Yes, the palace has also persuaded her, but Concubine De is hard-hearted, in fact, to be honest, Concubine De was just angry with the Murong family, and she couldn't swallow this breath, you really want to make such an unpleasant quarrel with Qi Shen, after all, it is a mother and son."
