Chapter 225: Wooing the Virtuous Concubine
Without waiting for Concubine Xian to speak, Mama Jiang said: "If the concubine wants to punish the slave maid, the slave maid is willing to be punished." β
Ling Chan didn't look at Mama Jiang, she still stared at Concubine Xian, "Concubine Xian, Concubine Xian, the concubine really wants to talk to Niangniang this time, but looking at this posture, I'm afraid I won't be able to say a word." β
Concubine Xian turned her head to look at Mama Jiang, Mama Jiang understood, and turned around and left the hall without saying anything more.
"If Concubine Shu has anything to say, just say it," Concubine Xian looked back at Ling Chan with a faint expression.
"When the concubine entered the palace before, she hadn't seen Concubine Xian Niangniang, I heard that Concubine Xian Niangniang went to the imperial temple, and now it's easy to wait until Niangniang returns to the palace, so that she has the opportunity to come and visit," Ling Chan said to Concubine Xian in a proper manner.
Concubine Xian didn't seem to eat this, "Concubine Shu came today, I'm afraid it's not just to meet her." β
Ling Chan raised her eyebrows, "Why did Niangniang say this?" β
"Today's Zhuhua Palace is very different from the past, the palace is now regarded as a sinful body, and the concubine is in the middle of a grand favor, so why bother to get involved with the palace, so you are not afraid of getting on fire?" Concubine Xian didn't leave any affection for Ling Chan at all, and immediately broke it.
Ling Chan was told by Concubine Xian like this, but she didn't feel that it was inappropriate, but she felt that this Concubine Xian was very appetizing to herself.
"Since Concubine Xian Niangniang let the concubine have something to say, the concubine will speak bluntly. The concubine was indeed sent into the palace by Concubine Li, but the concubine was unwilling to enter the palace at the beginning, but Concubine Li's sister threatened the concubine, and the concubine had no choice but to do it. β
Ling Chan said, raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, as if her words were sad, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.
Concubine Xian was unmoved, but said lightly: "Since you have entered the palace and become a concubine, why do you want to find this palace now and talk about this with this palace." β
"Have you ever thought about it, if His Royal Highness becomes the prince, what will happen to His Royal Highness?"
Concubine Xian's originally pale face sank suddenly after hearing this.
Ling Chan thought that she was talking about Concubine Xian's thoughts, so she continued: "Come to think of it, Concubine Xian doesn't want all these years of hard work to go to waste." β
"What do you want to say when you come today?" Concubine Xian's tone became a little cold.
"The concubine wants to know, does the virtuous concubine have that mind?" Ling Chan smiled slightly and said.
"If you come to the palace for Concubine Li, then you don't have to, the palace doesn't have that mind, you can also go back and report the truth, and," said, Concubine Xian paused, "When you came in just now, you said that you, like this palace, don't want to stay in this palace, what do you mean?" β
Ling Chan saw that Concubine Xian still didn't let go, so she said: "Concubine Xian annoyed the emperor last night, and the emperor came to Jinhua Palace. β
At this point, Ling Chan stopped and didn't continue.
Concubine Xian is a smart person, so she naturally understands the meaning of Ling Chan's words.
After the emperor was annoyed by her last night, he went to Jinhua Palace, and Ling Chan naturally felt strange with such a delicate heart. It is not strange to ask the emperor something by some means.
The emperor can't see it, but the women in the harem can all understand it, and if she deliberately annoys the emperor, as long as these women know, they can guess that she is doing it on purpose.
A concubine, but deliberately annoyed the emperor and caused herself to be grounded, it's not that she doesn't want to stay in the palace.
Seeing that Concubine Xian was silent, Ling Chan said again: "Niangniang, the concubine came today not to be tempted, if Niangniang doesn't believe it, then look at it." β
As soon as the words fell, Ling Yu, who was leaning on the back of the chair, woke up with a sigh.
Ling Chan heard the movement and hurriedly looked back, and when she saw Ling Yu slowly opening her eyes, she got up and bowed her head towards Concubine Xian, "The maid was injured on the head, and it was easy to wake up at this time, so the concubine took her back." β
After saying that, he walked up to Ling Yu.
Ling Yu just woke up, and he was still a little stunned. Seeing Ling Chan in front of him, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been knocked unconscious by someone, and was about to speak, but when he saw Ling Chan shaking his head lightly at him, signaling himself not to speak, he quickly shut up again.
Concubine Xian just quietly watched Ling Chan help the palace maid beside her to leave slowly, and she didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Mama Jiang, who was guarding outside the hall, saw Ling Chan come out, and she also bowed slightly, but she did not salute.
"Lady Niangniang walks slowly."
Ling Chan glanced at Mama Jiang coldly and didn't say anything more.
When Mama Jiang saw the two of them leaving the palace gate, she immediately turned around and went back to the palace.
Concubine Xian turned her head to look at the courtyard outside the window again, but there was a trace of doubt in her eyes than before.
"Mama Jiang, you say, would a palace concubine care so much about the palace maids around her?" Concubine Xian suddenly spoke.
Mama Jiang knew what Concubine Xian was talking about, so she said, "The slave also feels strange. β
Concubine Xian turned her head to look at Mama Jiang, "If it weren't for Concubine Li's temptation, it would have been for the sake of gaining a foothold in the palace to win over the palace, but the current appearance of the palace has nothing worth wooing, but she happened to come at this time." What makes the palace even more puzzling is that if you want to win over the palace, why didn't you wait for the negotiation, just because the palace maid around you woke up after being injured, she hurriedly returned to the palace? β
"Is it sincerity, or is the palace maid very important to her?"
Mama Jiang looked at Concubine Xian and said, "Perhaps, since I want to win over you, the palace maid is especially important to her." β
Concubine Xian was noncommittal.
took Ling Yu back to Jinhua Palace, and Ling Chan announced the imperial doctor on the grounds that she was cold.
The imperial doctor saw that the person he was treating was a palace maid, although he was unhappy in his heart, but in front of him was the most favored concubine in front of the emperor now, and the current favor was even worse than that of Yun Concubine back then, so he had to silently obey the order.
Ling Chan saw that the imperial doctor had bandaged Ling Yu's wound, so she breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the imperial doctor: "The imperial doctor knows what to do, right?" β
The imperial doctor immediately nodded, "Don't worry, the concubine, Weichen should be tight-lipped." β
There are a lot of things in this palace, and he is a royal doctor, so he can naturally avoid it, not to mention that he has nothing to do with it.
After the imperial doctor left, Ling Yu sat up from the couch chair with his head and asked, "Sister, did someone knock me out?" β
Ling Chan nodded.
"Concubine Xian's people?" Ling Yu asked.
Ling Chan sighed, just reached out and stroked Ling Yu's head lovingly, "It's Sister A's bad, I don't know if there is a powerful one around Concubine Xian." I was in Zhuhua Palace, and I was afraid that Concubine Xian would be suspicious, so I couldn't hurry up to find a doctor for you. β
Ling Yu shook his head and said, "I know that Sister Ah feels sorry for me, and I don't want to cause trouble for Sister A, Sister doesn't need to blame herself." β
Ling Chan smiled, and then asked, "Does it still hurt?" β
Ling Yu shook his head sensibly and smiled: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt if you take medicine." β
This sentence made Ling Chan's heart suddenly pause.
She said the same to him when she met him that year.
She was originally a young lady from the family of Dayu Gongqing, but her grandfather was involved in a case that affected the whole family, and then she was exiled to the land of yellow sand with her parents.
Then, someone found her, sent her to the imperial capital, and gave her a new identity.
Subsequently, she became the Holy Maiden of Dayu.
Later, she met him and admired him. But she couldn't stay with her after all, and even faked her death to reach Dacheng.
But her hope was not lost, and once she had completed her mission, she would be able to go back and see him again.
Thinking of this, she said, "Later, you go to find Yanwei and come over." β
Ling Yu was puzzled, "What is she doing at this time?" β
"Send a message."
When Cheng Mo arrived at Jiaqi Palace, the queen was already waiting in the palace.
As soon as he stepped into the palace gate, Cheng Mo immediately saluted the queen, "The son asks the queen mother to say goodbye." β
The queen hurriedly asked Cheng Mo to get up, then let Cheng Mo sit down, and then withdrew the palace maid in the palace.
Only then did he speak: "This palace wanted to ask you a word before, but now if you ask again, it will not be too late to think about it." β
Cheng Mo suddenly had a cold face and said, "Why didn't the queen mother tell her son that the mother concubine was grounded by her father?" β
The queen was stunned, "Who told you?" β
Cheng Mo smiled when he heard this, "It seems that the queen mother really doesn't want to tell her son about this." β
The queen sighed and said, "I wanted to ask you about it first, and then tell you about your mother's concubine, since you are asking about it now, if there is anything you want to ask, just ask." β
Cheng Mo said: "Why was the mother concubine grounded by her father, is it because of the concubine?" β
"Lady?" The queen frowned, "What does this have to do with the concubine?" β
Cheng Mo was stunned. Isn't it because he asked his mother to investigate the concubine?
Soβand why?
"I asked you to come today, because this palace wants to ask you, do you want to fight for the position of the prince?" The queen asked with a straight look.
Cheng Mo was stunned when he heard this, and then said, "What does the queen mother mean?" β
Seeing Cheng Mo's puzzled face, the queen couldn't help but sigh when she thought of what Concubine Xian said to her that day, and said: "I don't mean anything else, it's just that this palace wants to know if you have that mind, if not, this palace will naturally help your mother and son in order to achieve stability for a lifetime." If there is a Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Speaking of this, the queen sighed again, "Then the palace will convince your mother." β
Cheng Mo was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated a little and said, "The queen mother saidΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Convince my mother, againΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Why? β
The queen said: "On that day, your mother and concubine said to the palace that they didn't want you to be the prince, so the palace thought about it, or ask you what you think, if you also think the same as your mother, then the palace will naturally think of a foolproof plan for your mother and son." Over the years, your mother has accompanied the palace in the palace, and has also helped the palace a lot, the palace knows that it is worthy of the position of the middle palace, but in the end there is still some face in front of the queen mother, only asking for the queen mother's decree, no matter who is the prince in the future, it will not be able to move your mother and son. But if you want to be this prince, then the palace will persuade your mother and concubine, and the palace will support you. β
The meaning of the queen's words is already obvious at this point.
Cheng Mo was also surprised when he heard this.
In the past, the queen had a good relationship with her mother, and he also knew that it was because of the friendship between the two families. The queen treated him very well, and because she had no children over the years, she regarded him as her own.
But in the end, I have never said this to him for so many years, and I have said it so bluntly.
This time actually made him a little confused.
