Chapter 12: Gan Ran

"Queen Mother Mingjian, the concubine would never dare to have such an idea!" The Queen Mother's words were serious, and the Huo family's concubine's demeanor disappeared, she shouted fiercely, and kowtowed desperately, "The concubine's body is useless, and she has been favored by the emperor for many years, but none of them have come out, fortunately, Your Majesty has mercy, and she can raise the second prince Ganran, how dare you not care?" And even if the concubine has something, she is also a willing concubine! How could a concubine not want to be good to the prince? It's only to blame the concubine for being negligent for a while, causing the prince to fall into danger without knowing it! ”

The silence in the hall was extremely quiet, Su Ruhui and Zhou Yi'er didn't dare to be angry, but they heard a Qingyue's voice and said sweetly: "What my aunt said is right, the queen mother, Lian'er didn't expect that her aunt would leave her entourage alone by the lotus pond." My aunt has never been in good health, and I ask the Queen Mother to have mercy! ”

Zhou Yi'er was young, her face moved slightly, and she was quietly pulled down by Su Ruhui before she endured it.

The queen mother was furious, and even the queen hurriedly knelt down to ask for guilt, but Huo Qinglian still smiled and smiled, such a grace, I had never even heard of it. I'm afraid that the eldest princess of Yiyuan is here, and she is only in this position.

The eldest princess of Yiyuan is the half-sister of Emperor Changtai, and the only daughter of the Queen Mother, ten years older than Changtai, the first emperor died, in order to stabilize the throne of Changtai, at the age of thirteen, the Queen Mother was married to Qiu Di, and was the Da Yan clan of Qiu Di Zuo Dan.

At the beginning, Zuo Danyu was already in his forties, his eldest son was over twenty-five years old, but the princess was only thirteen. Since then, Emperor Changtai has been on a stable throne and has always felt deep guilt towards his eldest sister. It is said that the eldest princess Yiyuan was deeply loved by the queen mother when she was in the palace, but she was angry, and she disappeared when she saw the face of the eldest princess.

"The Queen Mother, Lian'er thought, there should be a reason why His Royal Highness broke down with his entourage, why don't you ask His Highness to ask? Maybe it's really none of my aunt's business? The Queen Mother was on fire, and after Huo Qinglian said what she just said, although she did not reprimand Huo again, she still had a calm face.

At this moment, hearing Huo Qinglian speak again, his face finally softened a little, adjusted his tone, and said lightly: "It's okay ......."

"Queen Mother, but Your Majesty said that you want to be grounded willingly......" Huo Shi said with some embarrassment when he heard this.

The Queen Mother seemed to be extremely unwilling to see her, and her soothing face suddenly turned cold again, and she sneered: "Although the emperor said that he was grounded, he must be in your Xifu Palace?" ”

Huo's was silent.

"Hmph, there are five princes under the emperor's knees, Gan Tang is the same age as Gan Ran, and his temperament is much more stubborn than Gan Ran, and I haven't heard that he will wander alone by the lotus pond! The mourning family saw that Gan Ran still came to Renshou Palace to live for a period of time, and let the mourning family personally adjust and train, and the mourning family had five emperors and grandchildren, although the emperor would have other princes in the future, but aren't these five royal blood? The Queen Mother said coldly, ignoring the Huo family, and turned her head to look at Qi Yun, "Mama Qi, you will come to it in person!" ”

"Slave and maid obey Yi's order!" Qi Yun didn't dare to slack off, so he took two little inner eunuchs and hurried there.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes for a moment and said lightly: "It's all gone, the queen stays!" ”

The concubines didn't dare to say more, and they all retreated according to their words.

Only Huo bit his lip and looked at the Queen Mother timidly, in a dilemma.

"Queen Mother......" Seeing this, Huo Qinglian gently pulled the sleeve of the Queen Mother.

"For Lian'er's sake, you should get up first." The Queen Mother was lucky, so she said lightly, patted Huo Qinglian's hand gently, and said warmly, "Lian'er is kind-hearted, but you also have to know that in the palace, there are rules in the palace!" Rules are rules! ”

Huo Qinglian smiled sweetly and said, "Lian'er knows, thank you Queen Mother!" ”

Huo Shi got up and stood aside with low eyebrows.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Queen Zhou smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "This must be the seventh lady of the Huo family, sure enough, I feel sorry for it, no wonder the queen mother likes it so much." ”

Seeing that Huo Qinglian was mentioned, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile slightly: "This kid is really painful." ”

Queen Zhou said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this time the niece and granddaughter of the queen mother, Wei Yuanbo's daughter Zhang Huan also entered the palace, and she should have brought it over today for the queen mother to meet, but unfortunately the child ate more ice fruit yesterday, and as a result, she was not very comfortable today, so the concubine asked her to recuperate first, and then come to the queen mother to say goodbye." ”

"That child just came to the palace with her mother a few months ago to ask for peace, anyway, she is in the palace, so she is not in a hurry." The Queen Mother didn't seem to be very interested in Zhang Yuan, but remembered another thing, "How is Concubine Xian doing this time?" ”

"Sister Xian Concubine ......" When Queen Zhou heard this, her eyebrows were suddenly dyed with a touch of sorrow, "When the concubine went to visit her yesterday, she happened to be in the imperial doctor's room, so she asked in detail, my sister's body is actually not bad, but Le'an...... The queen mother knew that Concubine Xian's sister was such a child, and she was gone suddenly, and she couldn't think about it for a while, and the doctor said that if Concubine Xian's sister was happy by herself, she would be able to recuperate for two months at most. But she couldn't think about it, but she was going to fall into the root of the disease......"

The Queen Mother frowned unconsciously, and said slightly angrily: "What is Concubine Xian doing?" She is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, although there is no Le'an, and the heart of the mother is always sad, but Le'an has no fate with us, and God is like this, what can I do? Take care of it, and the days with the emperor are still long, are you afraid that there will be no princess and prince Chenghuan in the future? ”

Saying that, the Queen Mother sighed deeply: "It's also to blame the mourning family, I think the minions in Renshou Palace have followed the mourning family for many years, it should be careful, who knows that this thing is not often beaten, and it will make such a thing!" In the final analysis, it was the mourning family who couldn't live with Concubine Xian, and brought Le An to raise her, but ......" The corner of the Queen Mother's eyes flickered.

Queen Zhou was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "The queen mother must not say that!" Princess Le'an was born with a difficult birth, not only hurt the body of Concubine Xian's sister, but the princess was also a disaster, the queen mother took Le'an to Renshou Palace to raise, originally to help Concubine Xian! Although Concubine Xian has been ill for a long time, she is not confused to the point of angering her mother! ”

"Queen, get up, the mourning family knows that you and Concubine Xian are good, and they won't blame the mourning family, but you go and tell Concubine Xian that although Le'an was not born in the mourning family, she is the granddaughter of the mourning family, and she is the only princess in our palace who has grown so big! If she has an accident, the mourning family is no better than Concubine Xian! But why didn't the mourning family get sick? Because there are still emperors, empresses, and other princes! Concubine Xian has been with the emperor for so many years, don't you even understand this truth? If she has the root of the disease, it is unknown whether she will have children in the future! If you raise it well, maybe you can continue the mother-daughter relationship with Le'an in the future! The Queen Mother wiped the corners of her eyes, sighed, and said to the queen earnestly, "The queen will go in person and tell Concubine Xian these words!" She misses Le'an so much, if she has a child in the future, if she gets a daughter, maybe Le'an will come again! But if you don't recuperate, you have no hope. ”

Queen Zhou stepped forward to support the Queen Mother and said softly: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the concubine will go in a while, and she will definitely explain these words to the virtuous sister!" ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said with emotion: "You also have two princes under your knees, but why can't we keep a princess in the palace?" The prince is important, but it is also a pity not to have a princess. ”

Queen Zhou smiled and turned her eyes, and said: "Although we don't have this blessing for the time being, but the three young ladies around the queen mother are all smart, dignified and delicate people, let's also raise them as princesses, maybe we can recruit a few little princesses for the palace!" ”

"The courtiers never dare to compare with the princess, the princess has golden branches and jade leaves, and the courtiers can't reach it!" Zhou Yi'er and Su Ruhui both knelt down and said. Huo Qinglian just smiled and saluted.

The Queen Mother smiled, and suddenly muttered: "The queen should go to Concubine Xian slowly......"

Empress Zhou was stunned for a moment, but she heard a message from outside the palace: "Second Highness has arrivedβ€”β€”"
