Chapter 68: Pointing to the Prince
Several flowery concubines came over with twisted their waists, and one of them reached out and pinched Ma Xiaoge's face, covered his mouth and smiled: "Queen Mother, this girl's little face can really pinch out the water, but it is not something we can compare." ”
"Concubine Xiu, what do you think?" The queen turned her head and looked at Concubine Xiu, who was smiling faintly but not speaking.
Concubine Xiu blessed her body, twisted the fish food in her hand, and said: "I heard that everything in the Marquis Qin's Mansion is taken care of by this girl, and the old lady Qin loves this girl so much that she has a headache, and there are many people who come to ask for marriage, but the old lady Qin seems to be reluctant to marry him." ”
Ma Xiaoge threw a grateful glance at Concubine Xiu, who kept emphasizing that she was the beloved girl of Old Madam Qin, intending to warn the queen not to touch her. However, since the queen dared to summon her into the palace to humiliate her with words, how could she be afraid of Old Madam Qin, an old man who was dedicated to Buddhism?
"I think that Old Madam Qin looks down on those who ask for marriage." The queen let go of Ma Xiaoge and suddenly smiled, "The only person who can satisfy Old Madam Qin today is the prince, Xiaoge, if the palace points you to the prince, are you willing?" ”
With a "boom", Ma Xiaoge's brain was almost blown up by this sentence, and her legs were weak and she knelt on the ground.
A faint mockery appeared in the queen's eyes, and she chuckled: "This palace doesn't believe that you are worse than the rest of the concubines." ”
Ma Xiaoge Khan was raining down, she had long expected that the queen would not treat her well, but she would never have thought that the queen would want to point her to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. She shivered, the hard white jade on the ground was cold, and the chill invaded her inch by inch. What is she going to do?
Promise? No, what she likes is Qin Xiaohou.
Refusal? No, that's a rebellion, and you will be killed.
"Do you know why this palace summoned you to the palace?" The queen looked at Ma Xiaoge coldly and trembling, and her heart was full of contempt, she walked a few steps and sat on the stone bench, asked the palace maid to make a cup of hot tea, and stared at Ma Xiaoge kneeling on the ground while sipping tea.
The topic was diverted, Ma Xiaoge breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Back to the queen's mother, the people don't know." ”
"I don't know?" The queen put down the teacup violently and said coldly, "Since you don't know, let Concubine Xiu tell you." ”
Concubine Xiu's eyebrows raised upward, and she said, "Presumably, Miss Ma has also heard about the Qing Palace, and the queen summoned you to the palace for this matter." She didn't say a word, she completed what the queen told her, and she didn't say anything to embarrass Ma Xiaoge, after finishing speaking, she took a step back and stood with the concubines, not seeing her uniqueness at all.
Ma Xiaoge didn't even dare to raise his head, kowtowed, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, the affairs of the palace are not clear to the people...... But the folk girl can swear that Mrs. Chen's poisoning has nothing to do with the folk girl, please let the queen know about it! ”
"Oh? Are you saying that Concubine Xiu did not investigate the matter impartially? The queen stretched her tone and squinted at Concubine Xiu.
Ma Xiaoge's heart "chuckled", wanting to explain, but she couldn't explain it, yesterday's events really had nothing to do with her. But Concubine Xiu helped her verbally just now, does she want to lead the fire to Concubine Xiu? But as soon as I saw this situation, I knew that the queen and Concubine Xiu were incompatible, and whatever she said was wrong......
"Queen Mother, the prince of Qing and the little marquis of Qin ask to meet." Just as Ma Xiaoge was panicking, a palace maid came to report.
