Chapter 104: Questioning

Who knows, Tong Xue not only easily held the bow, but also put it in his hand and praised it: "This bow is worthy of being given by His Royal Highness's riding and archery master, and it is extraordinary when you look at it." Your Highness's gift is too valuable, thank you here! As he spoke, he saluted the eldest prince.

Before the eldest prince could react, he looked at Tong Xue dumbfounded.

His heart was almost broken.

Who can tell him why he is holding a bow that is still a little difficult in one hand, but in Tong Xue's hand, it is like there is no weight.

She also took it in her hand and checked it!

The eldest prince was eager to rub his eyes, or snatch the bow over to find out, it must be that girl who did something with the bow!

However, he didn't even believe in this conjecture, so he didn't do anything, just put his hands behind his back, straightened his chest, and said "um" with a serious expression.

"Okay, Miss Tong just entered the palace today, and she has been troubled by you for a long time, she should be tired. Today, I will go down to rest and recuperate, and when it is time for dinner, the mourning family will introduce you to the rest of the ladies. The Queen Mother smiled and said at the right time. Finally successfully calmed down a turmoil.

"Empress Dowager Xie is considerate, so the courtiers will retire first." Tong Xue bowed to the Queen Mother and the eldest prince, but was still taken down by Aunt Yue for placement.

After Tong Xue left, the eldest prince instantly turned into a harmless little white rabbit, rubbed on the queen mother slimy, twisted his body like a piece of kraft candy and said, "Imperial grandmother!" ”

If it weren't for the fact that his voice was too funny, the Queen Mother almost reached out and rubbed it on his head. By the way, I comforted him a few more words.

"Tell me, why are you targeting this little girl today? People are personally invited into the palace by the mourning family, aren't you slapping the mourning family in the face like this? The Queen Mother pulled down her face and said unmoved.

"How dare your grandson!" The eldest prince immediately grabbed the arm of the queen mother, shook it like a puppy, and said with a flat mouth: "It's not that the third brother said that grandmother has said that one of our three brothers wants to marry this girl as the imperial concubine, we don't marry just anyone, of course we have to test this girl, I am the eldest brother." Everything needs to be ahead of our younger siblings. Naturally, I got on it! ”

The Queen Mother patted him on the head, "You have done something wrong!" How old is Ting'er, how can you know what daughter-in-law is not a daughter-in-law! It must have been you who dragged your third brother out as a scapegoat in order to escape the punishment of the imperial grandmother. Isn't it? ”

The eldest prince let go of the arm holding the queen mother with a stunned face. Wrinkled nose. His eyes were shining, as if two tears would drop in the next moment, not to mention how aggrieved he was. "How can the grandson have deceived the imperial grandmother! At that time, the second brother was also there, if the imperial grandmother didn't believe it, she would know if she asked the second brother! ”

The second prince Zhu Youlin is twelve years old, two years older than Tong Xue, and his mother Concubine Li was originally born in Gong'e, and was able to be canonized as a concubine because she was fortunate to be born in the Holy Lord.

Concubine Li suffered a great sin when she gave birth to the second prince, which caused the second prince to be weaker than his peers since he was a child, and he was also very quiet, like a stuffy gourd, and never participated in the affairs between brothers.

If the Queen Mother really asked him, she couldn't ask why.

"Alright, alright!" The queen mother saw that the eldest prince, a fifteen-year-old man, was aggrieved like a little girl, and she had a headache.

I really don't know who this child is with, looking fierce in front of people, meekly like a puppy to himself.

"The mourning family is a little tired, you want to take a rest, you should also go back to the palace first to think about whether you did the right thing today."

"The grandson is gone. Grandmother take care of herself. The eldest prince said sullenly, drooping his head, like a large mourning dog, and retreated weakly with the little eunuch.

The queen mother looked at the figure of the eldest prince gradually walking away, and sighed: "It's really not worry-free!" ”

The eight-year-old third prince naturally didn't know what his daughter-in-law was, but the biological mother of the third prince, the imperial concubine, was in charge of the harem, and she was clear about these things.

Although Tong Xue is two years older than the third prince, as the saying goes, the female junior holds gold bricks, and the female sophomore is full of gold. The age difference between the two is not a problem at all.

I'm afraid that for the selection of the third prince and the princess, the imperial concubine has her own ideas in her heart, so she plucked her son and coaxed the eldest prince to strike first.

The queen mother stroked her forehead, put her hand on the arm of her confidant grandmother, and went to the palace to rest.

Therefore, several girls who entered the palace later were taken directly to the courtyard of Cining Palace for placement, and they did not even see the face of the Queen Mother, so naturally they failed to present the carefully prepared gifts to the Queen Mother.

Today, in addition to Tong Xue, there are also Korean princesses, nieces of the Imperial Concubine, Li Ling, and Qiu Muyun, the niece of the Queen Mother.

As soon as Li Lingfu stepped into Cining Palace, he was told that the Queen Mother was a little tired and rested in the main sleeping palace, so please go to the side courtyard of Cining Palace to settle down first.

It didn't take long for a grandmother to come to pass on the imperial concubine's message and ask Miss Li to move to Yaohua Palace.

Li Lingzheng didn't know what was going on, and after picking up the grandmother to settle the luggage, he followed the grandmother who passed the word of mouth to Yaohua Palace.

The imperial concubine had just finished taking care of the trivial affairs in the palace, and was now leisurely reclining on the couch, with a desk in front of her, and a small hollow copper stove on it.

"Ling'er is here? I haven't seen you for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, I've become a big girl! With a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth, the imperial concubine sat up straight lazily from the couch.

"The courtiers greet the mother." Li Ling stepped forward without a smile and bowed to the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine bent down to support her arm, "It's very polite to my aunt." Come, sit beside my aunt. As he spoke, he took Li Ling's hand and sat aside.

"Is everything okay in the house? I met Yan'er two days ago, and I looked more mature and introverted than before. Has the second brother ever sent a letter home home? Are you still healthy? ”

The imperial concubine is the youngest daughter of the uncle of the Korean prince Li Shanchang, the Korean government has guarded the eastern border for generations, prevented the barbarian invasion, and made great achievements for the Dayue Dynasty, the father and brother of the imperial concubine, and the two cousins that are Li Yan's two brothers, all died in the war with Dongyi.

Because of this, after the death of the Empress Yuan, he was included in the court, and in just one year, he was promoted from a concubine to a concubine, and then because of pregnancy, he was named the imperial concubine, and he was in charge of the phoenix seal, the responsibility of the queen, and the six palaces.

I think that at the beginning, not long after she entered the palace, Princess Beiqiang got married, and she was in the limelight for a while, enjoying the emperor's favor.

And now, the woman has long since turned into a piece of loess, but she sits on the throne of the concubine, smiling proudly in the queen ~ palace.

The imperial concubine is a smart and beautiful woman, and she understands in her heart that the reason why she has been able to stand tall in the harem over the years has a great relationship with the Korean duke stationed in the east and struggling to resist the Dongyi. (To be continued......)
