Chapter 273: The Queen Mother in the Seclusive Palace
He didn't admit Mingxiu's words, but the meaningful posture meant that no matter how you look at it.
Mingxiu pursed her lips and didn't say much.
In fact, both of them knew in their hearts that when Nan Lingfeng returned to the dynasty, if there was the help of the desert, Zhen Miniang's life would be much better, but it was destined to be short-lived.
Compared with the prosperity of a dynasty, Zhen Miniang alone is irrelevant.
This is Xie Zhan, with most people's thoughts.
But Mingxiu was still a little unbearable.
She understands that now she is unbearable and useless.
As if seeing Mingxiu's struggle, Xie Zhan grabbed her sleeve, "Don't worry, even if it's for your sake, I will keep Mi Niang, at least my life is worry-free." ”
If you want to continue to prosper, it must be impossible.
But that's enough.
Mingxiu nodded dejectedly and didn't say anything more.
Her interest was not high, and Xie Zhan naturally would not be happy.
"I heard that the mother concubine asked you to go to the palace in two days? You know why. ”
What is the reason why Concubine Zhen is looking for her, Mingxiu really doesn't know.
Honestly shook his head.
In front of Xie Zhan, Mingxiu didn't need to be unnecessarily smart.
She can put herself in the position of a toddler and listen to him analyze.
Such an attitude was tantamount to giving Xie Zhan a great face, and the eyes looking at Mingxiu became gentle.
"Actually...... It's not a big deal, it's just that the emperor is going to choose a concubine, and you, as the emperor's aunt, have to make some effort after all. ”
Mingxiu was stunned, "I'll do this?" "It's not reasonable, is it? And what did Concubine Jane do to tell her this?
It's not Xie Zhan's business.
patted Mingxiu's head and felt the fluffy touch of his subordinates, Xie Zhan's eyes were full of pity, "The meaning of the mother concubine is not only to give the saint a concubine, but also to ......"
"Pick a candidate for your side concubine?"
Mingxiu's eyes were narrow, and at the same time, there was some faint danger.
Touching the tip of his nose embarrassedly, Xie Zhan sneered, "Now that the royal heirs are withering, I and the emperor's backyard are being stared at." ”
It's okay to say that the emperor is still young, how old is he?
Ordinary people are already fathers of many children at this age, not to mention the royal family.
If Mingxiu fails to get pregnant after a year, he is unwilling, and he has to have a side concubine or concubine enter the door pretendingly.
But Xie Zhan didn't dare to say this to Mingxiu.
Even if it was a trade-off, he didn't want Mingxiu to be unhappy.
At this time, he just hugged Mingxiu and said with a smile: "In order not to make the princess feel bad, this king has to work harder." ”
Touching the tip of his nose, Mingxiu was a little forgiving, "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”
Even if she has been married for many days, she is embarrassed to say this kind of thing.
"Okay, it's the king's nonsense, but the princess also has to work hard."
At this time, neither he nor Concubine Zhen wanted to put pressure on Mingxiu, after all, a woman who was in a bad mood was pregnant, and the child was not healthy.
Although Concubine Zhen wanted to see Xie Zhan surrounded by her knees, she also valued her sister-in-law more.
"You Ming'er discussed with the concubine, the banquet for the emperor after the election has to be held in the palace, the concubine's meaning should be that she wants you to see a few good ones first, if you ...... in the future Find another opportunity to be included in the royal palace. ”
"And what do you mean?"
It doesn't matter how Concubine Zhen thinks about it, after all, this matter is also Xie Zhan's private matter, and his opinion is particularly important.
After all, if he doesn't want to, how can he force people to do things in the boudoir?
"I have only the princess in my heart, doesn't the princess know this?"
……
Mingxiu came to the palace as promised.
Although it is said that the palace is under Xie Zhan's covert care, although the conditions here are not as brilliant as the palace, they are not bad.
As soon as Fang stepped in, Mingxiu felt a leisurely atmosphere.
The breeze is blowing, the air is warm, and you can see a boat gently rowing through the rockery flowing water from a distance.
This day is indeed more leisurely than in the palace.
Mingxiu thought, maybe it would be good to come here with Xie Zhan for a while in the future.
Now in this palace, in addition to Concubine Zhen and the former emperor, there are only a few concubines with low status, no heirs and no favor.
The two most luxurious palaces in the palace are the residences of Concubine Zhen and the former queen.
Under the guidance of the little palace maid, Mingxiu walked slowly.
On the road, a little palace maid suddenly came to Mingxiu, and said cautiously: "Princess Niangniang, the Queen Mother wants to see you." ”
Today's queen mother is not the official queen mother, only a name, no one put her in their eyes, if you talk about power, there is no, it can only be regarded as the emperor in the face of the emperor, gave the queen a good pension conditions.
Therefore, the so-called little palace maid around the Queen Mother is not as decent as in the palace, and she is even cautious in front of Mingxiu, who is considered the Queen Mother's half of the juniors.
"This ......"
The little palace maid who led the way glanced at Mingxiu hesitantly, and didn't know how to answer for a while.
It stands to reason that that person is also an elder, since she came to invite, Mingxiu should go to see her, but she has to go to see Concubine Zhen again.
Mingxiu lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and said, "After the concubine went to see the concubine, she will go to see the queen mother." ”
It was already good that she could agree, and the little palace maid breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that Mingxiu would regret it, so she left in a hurry.
At this time, seeing Concubine Zhen, she was the same as when she was in the palace, and her face was much more ruddy than when she was in the palace.
After seeing Mingxiu's salute, she opened her mouth and asked, "The mourning family heard that the queen wants to see you?" ”
Compared with the Queen Mother, Concubine Zhen is still more suitable for calling her the queen.
There must be a bit of sarcasm in his eyes.
The queen who died of her husband just occupied the name of the queen mother, and she was enjoying the queen mother's benefits.
"Yes."
Mingxiu glanced at Concubine Zhen without a trace, and the inquiry was just normal, but she always felt that Concubine Zhen had some malicious feelings.
The yin owl in her eyes just flashed, and Concubine Zhen returned to her indisputable appearance, bowing her head slightly, "She is an elder, you haven't met Zhan'er since you got married, and now that you're here, it's reasonable to see her." ”
"Mother ......" opened her mouth, and Mingxiu wanted to say something.
Even though Concubine Zhen is not a roundworm in her stomach, she can guess a few points when she sees Mingxiu's eyes.
"Do you think the mourners should agree?" Concubine Zhen raised her eyebrows, seeing Mingxiu's head, she was not surprised in her heart, "As long as you remember who your husband is and want to see her, the mourning family will not stop her, on the contrary, ......"
She approached Mingxiu with a loving and gentle smile in her eyes, but somehow, Mingxiu subconsciously felt a chill down her spine.
Listening to Concubine Jane continue, "You can get close to her, confuse her, make her make mistakes, and the mourning family is very happy. ”
Even if there is no entanglement of interests between the two women now, after years of entanglement, Concubine Zhen and the Queen Mother are still in a life-and-death relationship.
Living in the same palace, it looks very stable, but only the two sides know how the dark tide is turbulent.
Mingxiu's heart jumped, what did Concubine Zhen mean......
"The daughter-in-law understands what the mother means." She looked at Concubine Zhen with some embarrassment, "It's just that the daughter-in-law is really stupid, I'm afraid she will be played by the Queen Mother." ”
"Don't worry."
Mingxiu didn't have much thought, this Concubine Zhen knew.
The girl who came from the people has the means, but how much can she be asked to know about the affairs between the inner house and the harem?
Concubine Zhen waved her hand, very generous, "You just need to pretend to be stupid in front of her, her favorite thing is to be smart." ”
The smile in his eyes flashed, and he thought that the queen would also look down on this folk princess, right?
Mingxiu bowed slightly thoughtfully, "Daughter-in-law understands." ”
Putting this matter aside, Concubine Zhen asked again: "Why did the mourning family call you here today, can Zhan'er tell you?" ”
"The prince said that it was for the emperor's election of a concubine." Mingxiu's face was full of panic, "Mother, my daughter-in-law is rude, I'm really afraid that I will miss a big thing." ”
Concubine Zhen raised her eyebrows noncommittally, "I heard that you have a very good relationship with Mi Niang, if you can't turn around, it is also possible to let Mi Niang help from the side, even if something goes wrong, it is not too tight." ”
Although Concubine Zhen didn't say it, her eyes clearly wrote: The princess from the people just doesn't understand the rules in the mansion, and others can understand it.
Seeing that Mingxiu didn't speak, Concubine Zhen said again: "Don't worry, no one in the court can go against my son's wishes." ”
As long as she doesn't want to offend Xie Zhan, she naturally won't embarrass Mingxiu at the banquet, no matter how bad she is.
Mingxiu was a little embarrassed in her heart, although she knew that the words in Concubine Zhen's mouth were the truth, but ...... After all, it is uncomfortable to be said by such a loud horn.
She hadn't been looked down on like this for a long time, and her competitive heart suddenly rose.
Mingxiu didn't answer, and Concubine Zhen didn't get angry, she smiled noncommittally, and said, "If it's so good, you can look at a few of them." ”
"My daughter-in-law knows."
Even with Xie Zhan's assurance, Mingxiu was still a little uncomfortable in her heart when she looked at Concubine Shangzhen's meaningful eyes.
I always feel ...... It was as if her husband was going to be snatched away.
No matter what Mingxiu thinks about Xie Zhan now, sharing her husband with others is always uncomfortable.
This discomfort of partiality cannot be manifested yet.
Concubine Zhen didn't care if Mingxiu was uncomfortable in her heart, and after she finished speaking, she also issued an eviction order.
"It's not too early, you hurry to meet the queen, if it's late, I'm afraid it won't be good to go back to the palace."
Although the palace is also in the suburbs of Beijing, if you talk about the distance, I am afraid that it is much more than the palace to the Ming family, and the carriage of the palace is already very fast, but it took an hour and a half for Ming Xiu to come.
Mingxiu was slightly blessed, "My daughter-in-law retired." ”
