Chapter 222: The Concubine

Princess Rongshou has not come over, but the third highness Gan Tang arrived first, Gan Tang wore a green shirt, dressed like an ordinary scholar, and stepped into the hall with a smile, this emperor and grandson have been favored by the queen mother, and he was happy to see it, although he was angry at the moment, he also excused him from the courtesy, let him sit beside him, and then looked at it and asked: "This will be autumn, why are you still wearing so thin?" ”

"If you go back to the emperor's grandmother, the grandson is not wearing a thin one, and there is a jacket in the green shirt." Gan Tang said with a smile, "When my grandson came in, I seemed to hear that the imperial grandmother was angry, I don't know who provoked the imperial grandmother?" What a guts! ”

The Queen Mother said angrily: "It's for your fourth brother and Rongshou, these two children are really uncomfortable!" ”

"Oh? Fourth brother and Rongshou? Gan Tang looked surprised, "What's the matter?" ”

The Queen Mother snorted and did not answer, but asked, "By the way, why are you here?" ”

"Why, didn't my cousin tell the imperial grandmother?" When Gan Tang heard this, he immediately glanced at Shen Zipei and said with a smile, "The newly made shortbread in the concubine's small kitchen was specially made for the imperial grandmother, and asked the grandson to send it to fulfill his filial piety. ”

"Back to His Highness, the courtiers have already said it, but I didn't expect His Highness to come down so quickly." Shen Zipei said calmly.

Gan Tang said with a smile: "I see, this shortbread is still good to eat while it is hot, so my grandson brought people all the way over!" Saying that, he winked at the Queen Mother, "Imperial grandmother, grandson is all filial piety, and the mother concubine will punish her grandson for misdemeanor, and the imperial grandmother has to speak for her grandson, otherwise, her grandson will be pitiful." ”

"The mourning family just won't help you, a dignified son, you actually led people to run in the deep palace, what kind of system is this!" The Queen Mother has eaten him since she came, and now it is not a big deal, she laughed and scolded and was embarrassed, but she was happy to let people present it.

The shortbread was delivered, and it was still steaming, which was also a coincidence, Li Guang personally hugged Princess Rongshou and stepped into the hall at this time, smelling the aroma of the shortbread, Princess Rongshou's eyes suddenly lit up, and the originally somewhat aggrieved look suddenly became a desire attracted by shortbread.

Even so, after Princess Rongshou was put down, she didn't forget to salute the Queen Mother first: "Rongshou greets the imperial grandmother!" ”

"Rong Shou is coming to the imperial grandmother." The Queen Mother has always loved the only granddaughter under her knees, especially Princess Rongshou has been recuperated by the concubine in the past two years, although her body is still not as good as that of people of the same age, in the end it is much better, at least it doesn't look like she will die young, and the Queen Mother will gradually let go of her heart to love, which will see that the place where she wants to kneel happens to be without a felt carpet, where is she willing to go, quickly beckoned her to call forward.

Gan Tang had already taken a piece of shortbread, and whispered to Qi Yun to bring a clean handkerchief, and printed a layer of oil on the handkerchief, then broke a small piece and handed it to Princess Rongshou, and said with a smile: "The imperial grandmother should not think that the grandson is stingy, but the last time I saw the concubine Niangniang feeding my sister is like this, the Tao is that the imperial doctor said that my sister has a weak stomach and cannot prohibit things that are too greasy, so I have to skim off some of the oil when eating, and I can't eat too much." ”

"You're careful." The Queen Mother was very pleased, "Rongshou is frail, and you only have this one sister, so you should be especially attentive to her." ”

"Thank you, Brother Sanhuang." Princess Rongshou was held in the arms of the Queen Mother, and nodded to Gan Tang obediently, and then took it with both hands, although her little face was already covetous, she still endured and handed it to the Queen Mother's lips, "Imperial grandmother taste it first!" ”

The Queen Mother did not shirk, took a small bite lightly, and said with a smile on her face: "The glory of the mourning family is filial piety, but this cake was given by your third brother, and your third brother should also be filial to the mourning family, you eat it first." ”

Rong Shou raised it to Gan Tang again, his big eyes slipped, and Zhou Yi'er hurriedly shook his hand and said: "The princess is for her own use, and the courtiers have it." Rong Shou couldn't wait to open his mouth and take a big bite, squinted his eyes happily, and began to eat.

Over there, Gan Tang entered another piece with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother looked at Rong Shou, revealing a trace of satisfaction and pity. Zhou Yi'er was beside her, pursed her lips and smiled: "Although the princess is still young, she knows very well that she respects the Queen Mother and her brother!" ”

"It's good for concubines to teach children." The Queen Mother listened and nodded slightly.

Li Guang hurriedly said below: "It's good to concubine Niangniang and the fourth highness." ”

After eating a little shortbread in the Detai Palace, the Queen Mother saw that Rongshou was still reluctant to look at it, sighed, and said: "This child is weak and can't eat, so I don't have to disappoint her here, and accept it, if you like it, don't recruit her in front of her." ”

Originally, this shortbread was specially entered by Concubine Shu and the Queen Mother, Su Ruhui and others just caught up with each person to take a small half-fast meaning, and when they heard the Queen Mother say this, they wiped the corners of their mouths with handkerchiefs, indicating that they had finished eating.

Qi Yun asked the little palace maid to clean up, and a message came from outside, but it was the concubine and the fourth prince who came over sweetly.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she sneered and said, "It's just right to come, pass on!" ”

In fact, it is a little early to call the concubine at this time, after all, the canonization ceremony has not yet been held, according to the meaning of Queen Zhou, it is to be held on the same day as Princess Rongshou's birthday, and the left and right concubines do not need the golden book and jade ribbon, but it can be completed in one or two hours. But Xu Cairen's position and title were set by the Queen Mother herself, and the Queen Mother called her concubine, and the six palaces naturally shouted.

Xu Shi came in a hurry, there was almost no beads on his sideburns, and he wore a dark iron embroidered shirt, revealing the dark blue skirt inside, dressed plainly, as if she was just an aunt, although there was still anxiety in her eyes, but her demeanor was as calm as before after entering the hall.

The fourth prince Lumei had already changed his clothes at this time, and he didn't know where Li Guang had found a half-old brocade robe in a hurry, which looked a little wider on him, but fortunately, he was tied up with a belt, but he looked luscious and thin, and he was getting taller and taller.

Although the luscious hair was wiped, it was still wet in the end, so he draped it over his shoulders and knelt down behind Xu Shi to salute.

At this time, he had probably come back to his senses, and his tone of voice was a little lower, not as lifeless as he was outside the Renshou Palace just now. Su Ruhui noticed that when Concubine Rong and Ganmei came in, Princess Rongshou was about to open her mouth, but she was quietly pinched by the Queen Mother, obediently stopped her mouth, looked at the Queen Mother nervously, and then looked at Her Royal Highness, showing a worried look.

"Let's get up first." The Queen Mother was silent for a long time, sighed long, and said.

"Empress Dowager Xie!" The mother and son of the concubine said in shame, but they still didn't move, "The concubine (grandson) has the deep grace of the Queen Mother (imperial grandmother), so she still kneels and says!" ”

The mother and son spoke in unison, which made the Queen Mother raise her eyebrows, and said coldly: "Are you doing this for a reason?" ”

Hearing the anger in the Queen Mother's tone, Concubine Yu hurriedly pulled Lumei, got up and said, "The concubine (grandson) doesn't dare!" ”
