Chapter 17: "The Queen Mother's Forgiveness"

Princess Yongtai has been secretly looking at Li Lan quietly since Concubine De and Li Lan entered the palace, although Li Lan looks generous, decent, gentle and lovely on the surface, but Princess Yongtai, as the dean of Tinglan Xiaozhu, does not dare to say that there are countless people, but at least in terms of knowing people, she still sees it very clearly.

Although Li Lan has always behaved very well-behaved and submissive, it seems that she has been listening carefully to the chatter between the Queen Mother and Concubine De, but in fact, her eyes have been flickering to check the palace, and from time to time she flashed with the essence of liking, envy, and calculation.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and whether a person is simple or not can be seen from her eyes. Princess Yongtai suddenly flashed a pair of clear eyes on her face, maybe only those who are pure in heart and sincere and pure will have touching eyes!

Princess Yongtai could see from Li Lan's performance after entering the palace and from the calculations that kept flashing in her eyes that this woman was scheming and definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Although Empress Dowager Xu has been talking to Concubine De, the corner of her eyes did not miss the impatience that flashed in Li Lan's eyes just now, if such a woman enters the palace in the future, I am afraid that she will be a master who will make the harem unpeaceful.

Concubine De saw that the Queen Mother had been staring at Li Lan, so she smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is the eldest brother and daughter of the concubine, and her name is Dang Li Lan, and she will be in August this year."

The queen smiled and asked, "Oh, yes?" So the concubine means "

Concubine De did not hear the unhappiness in Empress Dowager Xu's words, but introduced with great interest, "Lan'er has been listening to Lan Xiaozhu's learning, although she is not a talented woman, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a good temperament, so the concubine wants Lan'er to enter the palace to serve the emperor."

Empress Dowager Xu was originally very annoyed by the eldest princess of Shancheng and several princesses of the clan who introduced her niece and niece because of the emperor's appointment of concubines in the past few days.

The Queen Mother didn't say yes or no, she just smiled sarcastically, "Concubine De has been very idle lately, isn't she?" It's good to help the mourning family copy a few Buddhist scriptures."

Empress Dowager Xu did not forgive, let alone aggressive, but just spoke in a very ordinary tone, but Concubine De felt a chill in her back, and at this time, Concubine De suddenly understood that sitting in front of her was the emperor's biological mother, the former mother of the queen.

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins, and the concubines just see that Your Majesty doesn't even have a hearty person around her, so she wants to share her worries for the Queen Mother and hope that the Queen Mother will forgive the concubines' hard work," Concubine De hurriedly explained.

When Empress Dowager Xu heard this, her face had changed from a sarcastic smile to forgiveness, "Concubine De must see her status clearly, Concubine De should not worry about it, Concubine De will do less, and if you want to share the worries of the mourning family, you will stay in Changning Palace to recuperate, and whether the emperor will be the queen, whether you want to take a concubine or not, it is not your turn to be a concubine" Empress Dowager Xu warned in a cold voice.

At this time, the Queen Mother's words made Concubine De's face fade with blood, although the Empress Dowager Xu did not forgive, but she belonged to the kind of motherly momentum in the world, which made Concubine De and Li Lan immediately frightened to ask for "concubine guilt"

"The courtiers know their mistakes and hope that the queen mother will forgive"

When the Empress Dowager Xu saw the two kneeling down and pleading guilty, she didn't hold on to the matter anymore, but still said to the two of them in a tone of admonition, "If it is not something that belongs to you, don't be delusional, put yourself in the right position in the future, keep your duty, if there is a next time, the mourning family will let you see what the rules are,"

Concubine De and Li Lan really understood at this time, the Empress Dowager Xu, who had always been kind and easy to speak, forgave her, and the two respectfully admitted their mistakes, "Yes, the concubines and courtiers should abide by their duties in the future"

Empress Dowager Xu looked at the two of them with pale faces and waved her hand, "Okay, stand down."

Li Lan helped Concubine De, the two of them were blessed, and then slowly walked out, the aunt and nephew came with great hopes, but they didn't expect to return with failure.

Of course, these emperors in Jiangnan didn't know that after Concubine De's aunt and nephew left, Empress Dowager Xu and Princess Yongtai sat for another hour or two before Princess Yongtai left the palace
