Chapter 48: Marriage Giving (5)

The news of Xia Rui's marriage to King De reached the Queen Mother's Shou'an Palace, and the Queen Mother was really angry.

Soon, the noble concubine was invited to Shou'an Palace by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother sat at the top of the main hall of Shou'an Palace with a majestic face, looking coldly at the noble concubine.

However, the noble concubine didn't understand that she had done something wrong today to make the Queen Mother so angry.

The atmosphere in the hall froze to the freezing point, and the Queen Mother asked coldly:

"Noble concubine, the mourning family asks you, today in the imperial garden, did you propose to the emperor to give the daughter of the Li family, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to King De as the princess?!"

The noble concubine lowered her eyelashes slightly and replied, "Yes......"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she suddenly raised her voice and asked:

"Do you know that Li Shangshu is the one who impeached Prince Min at the celebration banquet?!"

When the noble concubine heard this question, her whole body was as if she had been struck by lightning, her face was pale, she looked up at the Queen Mother, and shook her head desperately to deny:

"The concubine doesn't know...... The concubines don't know...... The concubine didn't know anything...... Queen Mother, this is a matter of the previous dynasty, and the concubines really don't know anything! Today's events were all told by the emperor to say this to the concubines in advance, and the concubines ...... Concubine ......"

All of a sudden, the noble concubine was also confused, and she didn't know where to start explaining herself.

On the other side, the Queen Mother snorted coldly, and then said:

"The emperor's marriage decree has now been issued, and it has been spread all over the harem and beyond, don't act in front of the mourning family, such a big thing, you didn't report it to the mourning family in advance, and made a decision privately, noble concubine, the mourning family saw that you lived in Weiyang Palace, and they were so happy that they didn't even know who the mourning family was, right?! Is it that in the future, the mourning family will also act according to your face?! ”

The Queen Mother's words were very serious.

The noble concubine no longer dared to stand, she knelt straight down and distinguished for herself:

"The Queen Mother Mingjian, the concubines will never dare to have half a point beyond the Queen Mother's heart, if there is no Queen Mother, the concubines will not even have the opportunity to enter the palace, let alone live in the Weiyang Palace, the concubines can enter the palace to serve the emperor, all rely on the Queen Mother's promotion, the Queen Mother's grace to the concubines, the concubines remember in their hearts, no teeth are unforgettable, the concubines will never dare, under the eyes of the Queen Mother! The Queen Mother's Mingjian......"

Now, the noble concubine had no choice but to tell the queen mother, she said truthfully to the queen mother,

"Today's incident is really an accident, the concubine is not intentional! It was the emperor who told the concubine that King De and Li Shangshu's daughter were in love, and Li Shangshu had always been upright, and King De was embarrassed to say it because of his feelings, so if he wanted the concubine to match the two of them, it could be regarded as a good match, not only that, but the emperor also told the concubine not to mention this matter to anyone in advance! However, how did the concubines know that this was the emperor's trick on the concubines...... If I knew this, even if I killed the concubine, the concubine would not be so reckless! ”

The noble concubine finally reacted.

However, the Queen Mother was still angry, her eyes widened, she looked at the noble concubine, and asked mercilessly:

"Now, do you know that you have been tricked by the emperor? The mourning family looks at you, they are completely dizzy! ”

When the noble concubine heard this, her expression froze, and she lowered her head and whispered: "The concubine is careless......
