Chapter 38: Hardness

"Dare to ask the third princess, why does this palace salute the three concubines?" Han Jinxiu asked quietly.

Queen Chen kept giving the third princess a look and asked her not to speak, but she didn't listen.

The third princess replied directly: "The three concubines are all your elders, don't you need to salute?" You're still the crown princess, and you don't even know the basic etiquette? ”

"Oh, is it? That's really the lonely and unheard of palace, as the crown princess, does this palace still need to salute the concubine? Han Jinxiu smiled at the corner of her lips.

Concubine Yang De, Concubine Wu Xian, and Concubine Xu Hui are the concubines favored by His Majesty, ranking fourth among them, but although they are favored by His Majesty, they are the concubines of the prince, Han Jinxiu, as the crown princess, naturally does not need to salute the three of them, she was stupid in the past. Since she is married to the crown prince, she is inseparable from Concubine Yang De and Concubine Wu Xian, they want to plan for their sons King Yu and King Lu, but she takes a firm stand and stands by the prince's side.

The people who stand on the opposite side of her, there is no need to lick their faces to give them face, not to mention that in her previous life, Han Jinxiu has been the queen mother for more than ten years, and she is no longer the eldest daughter of the straw bag of the Zhenbei Palace.

As soon as the words fell, I saw Concubine Yang De, Concubine Wu Xian, Concubine Xu Hui and the second princess, each getting up and saluting Han Jinxiu: "I've seen the crown princess." ”

"The three concubines and the second sister hurry up, this palace massaged the prince yesterday, and he is very tired today, which makes everyone smile." Han Jinxiu smiled at the corner of her mouth and said slowly.

"Since the crown princess was tired of massaging the prince yesterday, why did she come to greet the queen mother today?" The third princess didn't care about Queen Chen's eyes, and made a fuss at Han Jinxiu, so she was not afraid of Han Jinxiu!

Han Jinxiu said with a smile: "The queen mother feels sorry for her daughter-in-law, and she has saved her daughter-in-law from spending more than four months in the morning and dusk. However, yesterday, the prince taught his daughter-in-law that etiquette cannot be abolished, and that the daughter-in-law, as the crown princess, cannot take the lead in destroying it. ”

Etiquette cannot be abolished, or did the prince teach her, what does this mean? Queen Chen was unhappy for a while, and she could only praise Han Jinxiu with a smile and scold the third princess.

Concubine Yang De, Concubine Wu Xian and Concubine Xu Hui all had very good looks, this is to say that they have no manners, and the former crown princess is afraid that she will not return, but now she has to work hard to deal with it.

The third princess had red eyes, lowered her eyes and pinched the silk handkerchief in her hand, hum, Han Jinxiu, let's see.

At this time, a voice came from the palace people: "Concubine Wang Li has arrived, and Concubine Xi has arrived." ”

Xi Concubine is here, and it is lively. Queen Chen's birthday banquet framed the crown prince was the palace maid Huixin beside Concubine Xi, even if she died, this matter may not involve Concubine Xi.

Everyone's eyes looked towards the door, and sure enough, Concubine Wang Li was followed by Concubine Xi, Concubine Xi's complexion was good, after a few days of bed rest and recuperation, her appearance seemed to be more and more outstanding, and the pregnant woman was unique.

Concubine Wang Li and Concubine Xi stepped forward to greet Empress Chen and the others, and the two seemed to ignore the dignified sitting crown princess Han Jinxiu.

Empress Chen coughed lightly twice, pinched the silk handkerchief in her hand, and said softly: "Don't hurry up and salute the crown princess." "As the master of the harem, she is not strict in discipline, and she is the one who has no face. If she is not present, she doesn't have to care about anything, but if she is present, she must restrain and discipline the concubines and concubines, and she can't fall into the mouth.

Salute to the Crown Princess? Concubine Wang Li's eyes flashed slightly, the queen was not confused, and she didn't urge them to salute the princess on weekdays, so she naturally couldn't brush the queen's face today, and saluted respectfully: "I've seen the princess." ”

"I've seen the crown princess." Concubine Wang Li saluted, how could Concubine Xi stand again.

After some greetings, everyone sat down, only to see Concubine Xi put her jade hand on her lower abdomen, for fear that others would not know that she was pregnant, if it weren't for the amulet in her stomach, the matter of Queen Chen's birthday banquet would not be so easy to end. Han Jinxiu took a deep breath and told herself to be patient and not impulsive, this is Empress Chen's palace.

Han Jinxiu wants to calm things down and not pursue them. Concubine Xi didn't let go of Han Jinxiu so easily, and pursed her lips and said: "The concubine heard that at the birthday banquet of Chengguo Gong, the crown princess shined and won the colorful head, which was an eye-opener. I don't know why the crown princess has changed so much, can you tell us? "Blinking her big shining eyes, the black and white eyes burst with a fiery luster, shining and full of anticipation.

The ill-intentioned in her expectations, Han Jinxiu caught it, and only heard her say lightly: "Concubine Xi praised it falsely, what shines and wins the lottery, it's just a few imperial brothers who let each other, what is worthy of praise." "It was not because of pride, but because of the king of Yu.

Yang Defei: ",,,,,,"

Concubine Wu Xian: "......"

Wang Lifei: "......"

Concubine Xi smiled and said: "The crown princess is really good at laughing, this is your strength to shine, why is it not worthy of praise?" ”

"Oh, what does Concubine Xi mean, do you think this palace is more powerful than a few imperial brothers?" Han Jinxiu asked with a smile, this is digging a pit for Concubine Xi to jump.

The mothers and concubines of King Yu, King Lu and King Zhan are all here, so Concubine Xi shouldn't want to offend them all! That's a good show, Han Jinxiu is looking forward to it.

Han Jinxiu is more powerful than several princes, of course this can't be said, a trace of chagrin crossed the eyes of Concubine Xi, and her half-inch-long nails were pinched into the flesh fiercely, if it weren't for her killing halfway, Huixin would not have committed suicide, she would not have fallen from Concubine Xi to Concubine Xi, and His Majesty had not come to visit her for several days. If she offends Concubine Yang Defei and others again today, her life in the palace will not be easy in the future.

In addition, the children in the womb still don't know men and women, even if they are princes, they will inevitably rely on his brothers in the future. Concubine Xi took a deep breath, walked in front of everyone, and said softly: "The crown princess is laughing, how can the concubine think so?" ”

Han Jinxiu sighed and said, "It turns out that the palace is not as good as a few imperial brothers in the eyes of Concubine Xi, so it's no wonder that Huixin wants to calculate the prince." "Which pot is not opened and which pot is mentioned, it is Han Jinxiu, she just wants to mention it. Your Majesty is pregnant because Concubine Xi is pregnant, this matter is stopped, in her heart, this matter is not over, look at Concubine Xi Nai, how is she?

Xi Concubine: "......" Did she say that? "Crown princess, don't talk nonsense." Concubine Xi explained eagerly.

"Oh, that's a mistake in the palace, it's not Huixin's calculating prince, so dare to ask why Huixin committed suicide?" Han Jinxiu seems to understand whether she understands or not.

Everyone's eyes fell on Concubine Xi again, and at this time, Concubine Wang Li couldn't stand it, and took the initiative to stand up and say: "Crown Princess, Your Majesty has ordered this matter not to be mentioned again, and the past will be passed." Concubine Xi is still pregnant, don't stand, sit down quickly, be careful of hurting the child in her womb, Your Majesty blames it, and the princess is afraid that she can't bear it. ”
