Now who in the entire palace doesn't know that Ming Yue is now the crown prince. and the crown princess Xia Qingtong alone.

Who has the final say in the harem, does it still need to be said?

So Concubine Shu was very surprised to see Xia Qingtong appear.

"If you are idle, you are bored in the palace every day, and you will be bored. It just so happened that the concubine said that she wanted to celebrate the thousand autumns of her father, so I said that I wanted to help. Don't think I'm troublesome. ”

Concubine Shu smiled: "The crown princess is so polite. You may be seated. ”

"These are the fabrics prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs for each palace, and each palace is almost the same. The color is a little different, though. I see that the lady lady is gentle and calm, so I picked these colors for you. If you don't like it, I'll ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send it again. ”

"No, these colors are fine."

"That's good." Xia Qingtong said casually: "I've been in the palace for so long, and I don't understand some things. I think that Concubine Niangniang is the oldest lady in the palace. So I want to ask the lady for advice. I don't know if it's convenient or not. ”

Concubine Shu smiled, her daughter had married outside the palace, and she didn't have anything to do in the palace every day, Xia Qingtong came over, she happened to be free.

"Of course I'm free."

"That-" Xia Qingtong glanced left and right, and Concubine Shu was a little surprised. Then he waved his hand, and those palace people retreated. Even the red cherry blossoms who came with Xia Qingtong retreated.

"What does the crown princess want to ask. Say hello though. ”

Xia Qingtong didn't rush to speak, she picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip gently.

Putting down the cup, she looked at Concubine Shu fixedly: "I want to ask about Bai Guifei back then." ”

With a "bang", the teacup that Concubine Shu was holding fell on the table.

Facing Xia Qingtong's gaze, she swallowed her saliva: "Bai Guifei? The crown princess asked what is this for? ”

"Naturally, I want to know, so I asked." Xia Qingtong was much calmer than her: "Is Concubine Niangniang willing to solve my doubts?" ”

"I, I don't know anything."

Concubine Shu was already a little uneasy: "It's not early." The crown princess wants to go to other places to deliver fabrics, so I won't-"

"For the others, I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to go. I only send two people. One is the lady concubine here, and the other is the good concubine Niangniang. Concubine Liang, I plan to go tomorrow. So I'm not busy right now. ”

Concubine Shu's face was really not very good, and she looked at Xia Qingtong embarrassedly: "This matter is in the palace, it is taboo, and people are not allowed to mention it." Why should the crown princess be strong? ”

"It's just you and me here. If I don't say it, how will others know what we're saying? ”

"But-" Concubine Shu gritted her teeth: "You want to know, why don't you ask Chu Zhaoyi?" She is a good sister of Bai Guifei and knows more things than me. ”

"I want to too, but Chu Zhaoyi has the grace of nurturing the prince. I'm good, and so is the prince. If I ask like this, I'm afraid it will make Zhaoyi Niangniang feel that we are still thinking about our biological mother and not thinking about her as an adoptive mother. So, I had to go straight and ask the lady to come here. ”

"And what are you going to say to someone?"

"Out of this door, I said, I heard that the second princess won the man in one fell swoop. I am married to the crown prince Jiuyi, so I came to ask for the secret recipe for having a child. But in the end, it's not a glorious thing, so it is avoided by people. This statement. Lady Niangniang thinks it's okay? ”

She has found all the reasons, what else can Concubine Shu say?

She looked at the persistence in Xia Qingtong's eyes, and knew in her heart that if she didn't give her a satisfactory answer, she was afraid that she would come again.

He let out a long sigh: "That's it." So many years. I didn't expect it to be known forever. It's just that I always thought that the first person to ask should be the prince. ”

"I'm telling you now, it's the same. Only one. No matter what you hear, I won't recognize anything when you get out of this door. ”

"Out of this door, I've only heard a secret recipe for having children. And I'm sure I'll thank you. ”

Concubine Shu straightened the teacup again, and served tea for Xia Qingtong.

She poured herself a full glass, but didn't drink it. On such a hot day, she warmed her hands with a tea cup in both hands.

"Bai Guifei is completely different from the current Li Guifei. If Li Guifei is water, then Bai Guifei is fire. ”

Even after more than ten years, Concubine Shu has never forgotten that she is a woman who is bright and bright, and she is the only one in the entire palace.

…………

When Ming Yue returned to the East Palace, he found that Xia Qingtong was a little wilted.

She curled up on the soft couch and hugged a cloth pillow. It seems a little invigorating.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Qingtong glanced at him, then at the other palace people in the palace, and said very casually.

"I'm going to Concubine Lady today."

"And then?"

"The second princess recently won a man in one fell swoop. The lady asked me when I planned to add Lin'er to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and spread the branches for the royal family. ”

"You-"

After Xia Qingtong finished speaking, he pouted: "Concubine Shuniang also gave me a secret recipe for giving birth." said that if I don't give birth to a son and a half daughter to His Highness, His Highness will abandon me. ”

"You're not happy about this?"

"Or else?"

Ming Yue smiled, waved his hand to let the others retreat, and sat down beside her: "Don't worry, even if you can't give birth, I won't want you." ”

"Really?"

"Really." Ming Yue nodded her nose: "You don't believe me? ”

"It's not that I don't believe it, but everyone in the palace says so, so I'm naturally just-"

"Obviously you don't want to have children, right?"

Ming Yue's words made Xia Qingtong choke, and finally sat up: "It's not fun." ”

"Yes. Since Concubine Shu is so broken-mouthed, I'll let my father warn her tomorrow, okay? ”

"Don't. You know I'm joking. ”

Xia Qingtong glanced outside and confirmed that Hongying was guarding outside and no one would come in, so he spoke.

"I was at Concubine Shu's, and I heard something."

"What?"

"It's about my mother."

Ming Yue suddenly turned positive, Xia Qingtong knew that he cared about Bai Panxue very much, and he was also very concerned about avenging Bai Panxue.

She wasn't sure if he would accept what she was going to say.

"Just say it, so far, there's nothing I can't accept."

"Concubine Shu told me that my mother did not enter the palace voluntarily."

"What did you say?"

Concubine Shuniang said that it was her father who used means to force her mother to enter the palace. That is, the mother herself is unwilling. ”

This news really shocked Xia Qingtong.

She already knew that Bai Panxue had a fiancé at that time, and she also knew that they were engaged.

And I also know that with Bai Panxue's personality, I will definitely not be able to abandon my fiancé and hook up with the prince.

So why Bai Panxue entered the palace has become a mystery.
