Lan Concubine's sharp nails lightly scratched a mark on the red carved wooden table.

Xiao Cui lowered her head: "Master, don't be angry, it's not good for the little prince to be angry in your stomach." The slave and maid have crossed the rules, but the slave and maid feel that Concubine Yan is blocking you and not letting you see the emperor, why don't you go to the Queen Mother with Concubine Yan to see more. After all, you will also be the biological mother of the little prince in the future, if you can enter the eyes of the queen mother, even if there is Concubine Yan......"

Lan Concubine silently pondered Xiao Cui's words and listened to the reason. Concubine Yan didn't let herself see the emperor, but she couldn't stop herself from seeing the queen mother. Since entering the palace, she has not gone to the Queen Mother, but she is often blocked from the gate of Yongshou Palace. In the past, it was impossible for Concubine Yan to bring herself to visit the Queen Mother, but now it is not impossible.

"Xiaocui, I didn't see it, your mind is a clever one, you will follow me to Concubine Yan's later."

Xiao Cui happily responded: "Yes, master." Sister Hongmei......"

At the mention of red plums, Concubine Lan couldn't help frowning. The emperor occasionally goes to the Queen Mother, maybe it will be so coincidental.

"You say that the master wants to eat red dates and lotus seed soup, let her go to the dining room and do it herself."

"The slave and maid know, go and spread it now, and ask the master to wait for a while."

"Go and get back."

On the other side, Liu Ruyue had already set off with Chun Tao to the Queen Mother's Yongshou Palace. Chun Tao is just a second-class palace maid, and she rarely has the opportunity to serve Liu Ruyue. Today is Liu Ruyue, who pretended that Luyin was seriously ill and summoned her to come. At first, Chun Tao was reluctant, but when she heard that she was going to the Queen Mother, she couldn't help but show joy on her face, for fear that she wouldn't take her.

Fortunately, before the green sound, the favorability of Mama Lian was not in vain. As the saying goes, people are short-handed, Liu Ruyue went to meet the Queen Mother, and even what Mama said would pass on one or two to her.

"The concubine asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother is a thousand years old."

However, the Queen Mother did not have the affinity that Liu Ruyue imagined.

"Liu Cairen's salute, no wonder he was punished by Concubine Lan. Although saluting is a trivial matter, there are no rules and no circle, Liu Cairen should take some effort to learn in this regard. ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said. But this Lan Concubine is difficult for me everywhere, presumably for something else. Today, the concubines are here for this purpose. ”

"Could it be that you and Concubine Lan have other festivals."

"Before entering the palace. Although the concubine is a concubine, her mother has long gone. Later, a stepmother and aunt took the throne, and the concubine was sent to Zhuangzi to raise in the name of physical weakness since she was a child, and it was only in the past two years that she was taken back to Beijing. Soon after I entered Beijing, my family promised me a family affair, and the object was the concubine of the Hou Mansion. ”

Liu Ruyue saw that the Queen Mother was silent, and pursed her lips.

"The concubine of Jiahou's mansion is loved by the Hou Ye. is a lascivious person, and his reputation in Beijing is extremely bad. But the marriage is a major event, the life of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker. At that time, the concubine had no choice but to obey the family's arrangement. Fortunately, I caught up with the draft, and I was able to enter the palace after being photographed by the Queen Mother. On the day I entered the palace, I never thought I would meet Lan Concubine. Concubine Lan is the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and the concubine who should have married into the Hou Mansion entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine, so she had a heart to respond, and she looked at the concubine in every way. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she only frowned: "Now that Concubine Lan is pregnant, you should avoid it." When the limelight passes, the emperor will go a few more times, and your point will naturally be raised. ”

"Empress Dowager Xie's love. The concubines also know this very well, and the little prince is the top priority. No, I plan to send some apologies to Concubine Lan to make amends, but I am afraid of many things, so I specially came to give you a look, I don't know if it is appropriate to send this. ”

Liu Ruyue raised her hand gently, and Chun Tao did not dare to delay to offer the prepared apology. Lifting the tray gauze, what greeted me was a jade pendant of Guanyin.

"The pendant on the pendant Guanyin is made of the best Lantian jade, bright and transparent, meaning beautiful. When I first saw this, the concubine was also very fond of it. ”

The Queen Mother glanced at the ornaments in front of her, and it was indeed as Liu Ruyue said, the Jade Buddha knew that the material was extremely good. As soon as I heard the little prince and saw Guanyin again, I was in a happy mood, and I responded with a smile and a nod.

"Liu Cai has a heart, he is a transparent person, and the mourning family likes to be like you."

Liu Ruyue knew that the Queen Mother was extremely satisfied with this, and her eyebrows were bent.

"Chun Tao, you send it to Zhaoyang Palace, remember not to collide with Concubine Lan."

Chun Tao pursed her lips, she thought that there would be something good with her, but she didn't expect that she was completely a coolie, so she reluctantly dragged the tray back. The Queen Mother saw all this, but did not say anything.

After Chun Tao left, Liu Ruyue talked to the Queen Mother without a word. After a while, I heard the news of the arrival of Concubine Yan and Concubine Lan. Concubine Yan is the niece of the Queen Mother, so she was naturally invited in very smoothly.

Concubine Yan's red dress is bright and bright, and it shines so brightly that people can't get rid of their eyes. Liu Ruyue vaguely remembered that she invited the queen to have a meeting, and Concubine Yan was also dressed in dazzling red.

"My niece greets my aunt."

"The concubine asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and the Queen Mother is a thousand years old."

The Queen Mother took a sip of fragrant flower tea and frowned.

"How many times have you said it, when you enter the royal family, you have to change your name, and you always forget it every time."

"Auntie, niece likes to call you like that, it seems more cordial."

Concubine Yan rubbed the Queen Mother's shoulders coquettishly, and her eyebrows showed a smug look at Liu Ruyue. But in Liu Ruyue's view, a fake affection and a slight impatience are a little ridiculous.

"How can I have time to mourn my family today?"

"It's not, my niece misses you. And now that Concubine Lan is pregnant, I called her to accompany you, so I was blessed. It's just that I didn't think about it, Liu Cairen is also with you, so I'm really a little surprised. ”

"Liu Cai is a clever person, and he is a smart person with a quiet personality, so he has to mourn and rejoice. It's Lan Concubine, who is pregnant, and has to focus on the unborn little prince all the time, don't play tricks anymore, and raise the baby with peace of mind. ”

Concubine Lan saw that as soon as the Queen Mother opened her mouth, she favored Liu Ruyue, gritted her teeth and secretly hated that it was no wonder that the emperor would suddenly favor her, and she was promoted by half a position!

"The concubine remembers the words of the Queen Mother. A few days ago, it wasn't actually the concubine who deliberately caused trouble, but it was Liu Cairen who didn't understand the rules too much, so he just taught a lesson. ”

The Queen Mother saw that Concubine Lan was so uninteresting, and she was still reluctant to do this, and she frowned. In addition, Concubine Yan has been spoiled by her family since she was a child, and she naturally doesn't know how to look at people's faces, so she only felt that the Queen Mother actually helped outsiders and rejected her face, and she was deeply unhappy, and immediately became angry at Liu Ruyue.

"Liu Cairen is from a small family, and he hasn't even learned the most basic etiquette, and he doesn't salute when he sees the palace coming, no wonder Concubine Lan wanted to teach a lesson. Auntie, it's no wonder that Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan has always been as gentle as water, how could she deliberately cause trouble. I think it's really Liu Cairen's rules are not good, and she should be allowed to go to the ceremonial grandmother to discipline her for a few more days. ”

Whether Liu Ruyue saluted or not, the Queen Mother didn't pay attention. But his niece actually rejected herself directly, and she was slightly unhappy.

"Discipline is exempt, I think Liu Cairen is a courtesy."

"What the Queen Mother said is very true, it was your blessing that shone on the concubine, causing Concubine Yan Niangniang not to notice the concubine's salute."

Concubine Yan was angry in her heart when she saw this, and she wanted to speak, but the Queen Mother waved her hand unhappily.

"Okay, you all sit down, and you won't be too tired to panic when you stand one by one."

After Concubine Yan and Concubine Lan were seated, Liu Ruyue heard the news that the green voice came back from the space, and her heart was happy: Haha...... Let you not spoil me! Don't spoil me, you are good-looking!

Concubine Yan squinted: "Liu Cairen is smiling so happily, it must be that he has encountered some happy event." ”

"The concubine can see the Queen Mother and talk to the Queen Mother, which is the greatest joy. As for the collision with Concubine Lan a few days ago, the concubine is deeply sorry for this. Fang Cai also specially ordered Chun Tao to send some apologies to the past, which is also a coincidence, I didn't expect Lan Concubine to follow you here. ”
