Chapter 136: Branches
"Then what qualifications does Jiang Liu have to share a table with Her Majesty the Queen Mother?" A lady glanced at Mo Ziyu with disdain, and whispered, "Isn't she just a slave!"
"Didn't she save the prince, but the prince is the heart and soul of the queen mother!" the other person replied, "However, this Mrs. Ning is really very deep in the city, not only found the backer of the princess of Jin, but also hugged the thigh of the prince, how can this good thing make her catch up?"
These people are all concubines of the clan, and when they saw Mo Ziyu being treated by the Queen Mother like this, they were naturally unhappy.
"Don't you say, there were so many bandits that day, didn't you tremble with fear? It's not that she's lucky, and few others dare to flee with her son like her!"
"That day, so many thieves chased her, a woman and a child like Shizi, why did they let them escape! You say, is there something greasy in this? I just don't know if this ginger willow is still clean!"
"What kind of place is this, why are you talking nonsense here?" the second lady listened silently, and suddenly sneered, "If you have the ability, don't sneak around here, Her Majesty the Queen Mother is next to you, you have the ability to tell them!"
"Why are you angry? Aren't we fighting for you? She is a servant girl, an inferior person, and she has been in the palace for a short time, how can she compare with you?" One person looked at the second lady's somewhat angry appearance, and smiled flatteringly, "Are you willing to watch her be such a villain?"
"This is my business, so I won't worry about you. This is not a vegetable market, this is a palace, you have to beware of the misfortune coming out of your mouth!" the second lady smiled coldly.
A few people were bored, and they knew that this was not the place to talk, so they didn't say anything more, and bowed their heads to eat the food.
The second lady didn't want to speak for Mo Ziyu, but she just wanted to take care of King Qi's face, the face of King Qi's mansion, and if she made irresponsible remarks in front of her, she also slapped her in the face.
"This Mrs. Ning of your palace has some skills, it has only been a few days, not only has she entered the Jade Butterfly, but also has a title, which is something that many wives who have children can't ask for. Princess Dongjun and Princess Qi bit their ears, "You have to be careful with this kind of scheming, as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." ”
"Although she was born as a maidservant, but now she is not the same as in the past, she is the righteous daughter of Princess Jin, and the prince also spoils her, and the prince has a good relationship with her, and a title is not too much. Princess Qi smiled faintly, "It would be nice if she could add another heir to the prince." ”
"You're just so good-hearted. Princess Dongjun sighed, "Tell me what is going on with you, why can't you get pregnant? If you have a child by your side, won't the princess's position be stable, where is there still room for the following demons? But as a mother-in-law, you have never thought about raising the son by your side?"
"He's got a mother of his own!"
"Although his mother is a side concubine, she is only a concubine, how can you have the dignity of your concubine status? If it is recorded in your name, it will also be beneficial to his identity in the future! Originally, as a concubine, he was made a prince, and it caused people to talk, but if he was raised under your knees, he would be justified. ”
"What's the use of just being willing? Didn't the Queen Mother mention it before, isn't the prince unwilling? Saying that the son is young and can't do without his biological mother, look at the attitude of the prince, I don't have that thought. Besides, it's not like I can't give birth myself, what do I do to covet other people's sons?"
"You can give birth to a son, there is only one son in this life, you have to think clearly!" Princess Dongjun patted Princess Qin's hand and said meaningfully.
Although everyone has their own concerns, this banquet is still happy and warm on the surface.
"The people of the Western Regions are going crazy, saying that he has traveled to various countries and has never seen such a prosperous city-state. Princess Changle talked about what she had seen and heard outside the palace, "The people from the Western Regions are very interesting, their faces are darker than coal, their hair is curly, their teeth are very white, they are as reflective as they are, they are very tall, I only reach his chest, but he speaks fluent Northern Xia official dialect." ”
"Yo, look at the princess's description, how can anyone look like this?" Yun Guifei said with a brocade handkerchief covering her mouth with a smile.
"Now that the Northern Xia has opened up trade routes, there are a lot of foreigners, and there are red-haired, white-skinned and green-eyed people! I will bring them into the palace to greet you another day! Princess Changle drank a cup of warm goat's milk, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, county lord, that prince Gru is still pestering you?"
Liu Yao ate this thing with a calm face, glared at Changle, and said lightly, "Are you embarrassed to say?"
"Just let him retreat. Changle's eyes rolled, "As long as my father doesn't speak, no one can let the county lord marry you!"
As he was saying this, there was a sudden angry shout.
"What did you say!"
Everyone was startled, looked in the direction of the sound, and only saw Qi Zi standing up with an angry face, glaring at a man beside him.
"What's the matter?" asked Emperor Xuan, "Why is the prince making a lot of noise?"
"Your Majesty, the minister is fine, the courtier's disgrace in front of the palace has disturbed His Majesty and the Queen Mother, please punish Your Majesty. Qi Zi got up and clenched his fists and said.
"Liu Zhi, tell me, how did you make the prince so angry?" Emperor Xuan said again.
"Your Majesty. The man got up and said hesitantly, "There is no conflict between the minister and the prince, it is a misunderstanding, it is a misunderstanding......
"Huh?"
Emperor Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the man was immediately so frightened that he said everything: "That day Lingyin Temple was in distress, Mrs. Ning took Changqing to avoid those thieves, and was later rescued by Mi Shizi, it is said that later the three of them hid in a cave, and then some faint rumors appeared, saying that Mi Shizi would go to rescue him regardless of his life because he loved Mrs. Ning, and there were some heads and tails between the two of them. ”
"Bastard. Liu Xu's face turned blue with anger, and he got up and shouted, "Liu Zhi, you dare to make a big deal here, and you don't look at what kind of place this is!"
Liu Zhi had a bitter expression that he couldn't say: "This is not what I said, I just heard about it!"
At this time, Liu Changqing grabbed the teacup in front of him, walked in front of Liu Zhi in a few steps, and poured a cup of hot tea: "Our Liu family actually has such a filthy person as you! Mrs. Ning and Brother Mi are my life-saving benefactors, and I don't allow anyone to slander their innocence!"
"It's none of my business. Liu Zhi was so frightened that his tongue was not straight, "I didn't say it." ”
Mo Ziyu got up and knelt on the ground: "It's a matter of innocence, please ask Your Majesty the Queen Mother to uphold justice, otherwise the concubine will only die to prove her innocence." ”
