The Queen's Pepper Palace

The chamberlain knelt on the ground and made it clear what he saw and heard in Yunjun Wangfu today.

When he finished speaking, he lay his head on the ground and did not dare to move.

It took a long time to hear it, and the voice of the queen mother came from above: "Go down!" ”

"Yes!" The chamberlain didn't dare to say a word, so he bowed his head and stood up, walked backwards, and waited until the corner of his eye swept to the door frame behind him, and then turned and hurried away.

His Royal Highness, on the chair in the middle sat a woman who looked about forty years old with a majestic expression, this is the current Empress Zhu, the biological mother of the crown prince Pei Luoan, and the first noble person in the entire harem.

Although she is a little older, she is very well maintained, and it can be seen that when she was young, she must have been a rare beauty, but at this time the willow eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.

Sitting next to her was a woman of about thirty, dressed gorgeously, seeing that the queen mother was silent, she said with a smile: "Queen mother, it seems that His Royal Highness the county king is not satisfied with this Miss Qu Si!" ”

This is the emperor's concubine, although it is a concubine, but it is not a titled concubine, it is nothing in the harem, in the past, she has always been attached to the queen's mother, and because she has no heirs, she is not allowed to be taboo by the queen's mother, but it can be regarded as a good match, every time she comes to say hello, she will stay to talk to the queen.

The personal relationship with the queen is very good, the queen mother also trusts her, and even the nephew of the queen mother's family married the niece of Concubine Xiang's mother's family, and the two are also in-laws, the most important thing is the interest relationship between the two families, which is closely linked together.

Everyone in the palace knows that this relationship of interest is more reassuring than affection.

There are some things, when the queen mother is not very convenient, Concubine Xiang can take action, of course, when Concubine Xiang has done it, the queen mother can also say a word to protect her.

In short, the relationship between the two people is close, not to mention, they are still tied together, as for the marriage of the two families, only few people know.

"Are you really dissatisfied, or is there another mystery?" The queen's brow was still furrowed, and this sounded more like talking to herself.

"Queen Mother, don't think too much, who is His Royal Highness King Yunjun, if he likes it, just tell the emperor directly, is it possible that the emperor will disagree with him? As long as he opens his mouth, the emperor will inevitably make a will, and when the time comes, this Miss Qu Si will enter the mansion directly, even if he really has a heart, others will not be able to calculate anything. ”

Concubine Xiang said disapprerovingly.

She really didn't think that King Yunjun would be such a person who cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade, this fourth lady of Qufu could be "fancied" by him, and it seemed that there were many more disasters than blessings.

Hearing her say this, the queen's brows curled slightly, and she nodded: "It seems that the fourth lady of Qufu should be the one he took over and carried it." ”

Her sunrise from the palace was in the name of Ji Hanyue and Yunjun Wang.

First of all, the princess's funeral, the queen mother remembered the past feelings, and specially proposed to the emperor to go out of the palace to send the princess, and said that she was grateful to the princess for saving the prince, and in the end she even lost her life, although she is an elder, she must go to the spirit to thank the princess.

Then he mentioned the family affairs of King Yunjun, and said that this time was a good opportunity.

said that he wanted to see a few young ladies for the king of Yunjun, it was always inconvenient to look in the palace in the past, and those young ladies were too tight, and they really couldn't see what kind of temperament they could not see at once.

Of course, the most important thing is to let the king of Yunjun come over to see each other for himself, and he can't let these young ladies know that the queen mother is assisting by the side, if the king of Yunjun is interested, she will settle down and go back to the palace to discuss with the emperor.

Although the timing was not very suitable, considering that the queen mother generally does not leave the palace, and it was for the family affairs of the king of Yunjun, and this matter was still secret, the emperor later agreed, Pei Luoan's family affairs were something he was particularly concerned about, so he went to inform Pei Luoan and asked him to go to the prince's mansion.

The queen mother dressed up lightly and went out of the palace, of course, her purpose was not to really find a princess for Pei Yuanjun, the most important thing was to choose a suitable princess for her son.

It's just that what the queen didn't expect was that Prince Pei Yuanjun's mansion came, but she collided with the fourth lady of Qu Shilang's mansion, and I heard that she also injured someone, and then hurried back.

When she went to the prince's mansion, she didn't see herself at all, and there were some things she originally wanted to propose to the emperor through Pei Yuanjun's matter, so she couldn't mention it.

The fourth lady of Qu Shilang's Mansion fell into the eyes of the queen's mother.

The queen sent someone to check, this Miss Qu Si since the death of her biological mother, fell into the hands of her stepmother Yu, when she was a child, because Yu "didn't pay attention", burned her eyes, got eye disease, and then Mrs. Tai was in charge, sent to Zhuangzi to raise, this care is for many years.

I heard that she doesn't look good, she doesn't have much education and knowledge, she should just recognize this word slightly, and she also has eye disease, such a woman will fall into Pei Yuanjun's eyes? The Queen Mother was the first not to believe.

Then I felt that this Miss Qu Si was not bad, and I heard that she had bumped into Pei Qingmin, the king of Wei, before, and now she also bumped into Pei Yuanjun's eyes.

If there is only one thing of this kind, the queen will think that it is really an accident, or Pei Yuanjun has another plan, but this Miss Qu Si really bumped into King Wei before, and I heard Ji Youran say that this time is also an accident, and two accidents are definitely not accidental.

The queen felt that this Miss Qu Si was scheming, and she should have known that her life in Qufu was not good, so she deliberately made such a fuss, the purpose is, of course, to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, whether it is the king of Wei or the king of Yunjun, they are all royal blood, and the dignity is abnormal.

If such a woman is sent to King Yunjun, it will be a good thing.

Since King Yunjun casually used her as a shield, she could be won over here, maybe she would be a chess piece into the Yunjun Palace.

From this point of view, the queen felt that this was a good thing, and after thinking about this clearly, the corners of her eyes were slightly relaxed, and she nodded, "Since the king of Yunjun mentioned this Miss Qusi, this will definitely enter the palace of the king of Yunjun in the end." ”

This is the first time Pei Yuanjun has let go, as long as it is the daughter of the family, the emperor will definitely pass, and it is not a concubine, just let a side concubine enter the door first, open an opening, and then the matter of the concubine will be easy to discuss.

"The queen should be a good friend." When Concubine Xiang heard the queen's words, she immediately understood what she meant and said with a smile.

The queen also smiled and looked at Concubine Xiang: "It's not very convenient for this palace to do now, how about my sister come forward?" ”

The emperor's meaning is also to obey Pei Yuanjun's meaning, let's take a look first, this person is decided, but whether Pei Yuanjun really wants to be in the end is still an unknown number, in other words, what is Qu Moying's position, or Pei Yuanjun has the final say, I really can't look down on it, it's just a concubine who was thrown in a corner, just take one more person in the palace.

It's just that at the moment, it hasn't been decided yet, and the queen's status is noble, so of course she can't come forward to say or do anything.

"The queen mother, the concubine knows." Concubine Xiang smiled slightly, she already understood in her heart, a smile flashed in her eyes, her identity is also a little higher for this Miss Qu Si, but there are people in the Qu Mansion in the palace, although it is a little farther away, but fortunately, it is also from the Qu family.

"This is from the palace?" Qu Moying looked at the gift in front of him in surprise.

There are also a lot of gifts, all sent to their faces, each one is extremely exquisite, and you can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary.

"Yes, Mrs. Tai said that it was rewarded by Concubine Qu in the palace, and when she specifically said that the fourth lady, Mrs. Tai asked the old slave to send it over, and she also brought an aunt from Concubine Qu's side." My grandmother said with a grin.

"Concubine Qu?" Qu Moying raised her eyes and said in surprise, there is no such a concubine in her memory, there are still people from the Qu family in the palace?

"Yes, it's Concubine Qu, although Concubine Qu has little to do with our house, and it's not from our branch, but in fact, many years ago, she also recognized her relatives, and the fourth lady has to be called Aunt and Grandmother of Concubine Qu." Mama Wu explained.

Qu Moying pondered for a while, and understood the relationship between this one, that is, it was far away, and the distant one was no longer the same branch, but everyone had the same surname, and they could be regarded as relatives many years ago, and they may have talked about the same ancestor, but it should be a long time ago, and maybe everyone doesn't think about it.

For so many years, I have never heard of this Concubine Qu having dealings.

"Concubine Qu, don't have a heart in Ning'an?" Qu Moying said.

The concubines of the first emperor who did not give birth to heirs all went to Xinning Nunnery to practice in the end, which is not a secret in Beijing.

"Concubine Qu used to have a daughter, when the emperor went, this prince was still young, but when the emperor went, this little princess didn't live there, and the queen mother took pity on her at that time, so she let her live in the palace all the time." My grandmother said.

It turned out to be like this, no wonder there was still Concubine Qu in the palace, but this Concubine Qu should be very low-key, she had never heard of it in her previous life.

"Concubine Qu said, in a few days, please invite the third and fourth ladies into the palace to meet them, saying that they will meet the descendants of the Qu family." Mama Wu smiled.

Although Concubine Qu has no real power in the palace, the Qu family has some role in the palace, which is only good for the Qu Mansion and does not harm it at all.

Qu Moying was dismissed, and no one came to the door to propose marriage at the moment, Mrs. Qu couldn't sleep at night, and now Mrs. Qu's invitation was really good, and it was impossible to say that with the identity of Concubine Qu, Qu Moying could have a good family affair, which was the reason why my grandmother was also jubilant.

Mrs. Tai can finally rest assured.

"Fourth Miss, these satins are good, Mrs. Tai means let the sewing room make you a few sets first, and then you can wear them." Mama smiled and pointed to a few silver-white brocades.

The sunlight from the window fell, and the pale white shimmering silver brocade flickered, stinging her eyes......
