The queen and the concubines arrived early as usual, and when they saw the queen mother coming out, they knelt down and saluted, Huo Qinglian and the three of them also knelt down together, and when the queen mother shouted, the three of them saluted the queen and the concubines again.

After this set of etiquette was completed, the Queen Mother took a look at it, and suddenly her face was overjoyed, it turned out that Concubine Gu Xian was actually here today.

Concubine Gu Xian was excused by the Queen Mother due to illness, and said that she would wait until she was refreshed. Since I can come to say hello today, it's obviously too good to be good.

Because of raising Princess Le'an, the queen mother has always attached more importance to Princess Le'an's biological mother, seeing that Concubine Gu Xian was wearing a fragrant palace dress, with a high snail bun on her head, a hibiscus flower made of jade in her hair, and a jade collar fell on her chest with a piece of green jade pressed against her chest, and the whole person looked plain and royal dignity.

After all, Concubine Gu Xian's body is just right, and she is not suitable for too gorgeous outfits.

"Concubine Xian's body is good?" The Queen Mother immediately asked with a smile.

"I'm tired of the Queen Mother, the concubine is almost better." Concubine Gu Xian pursed her lips and smiled, stood up from the chair and blessed her, but looked at Su Ruhui in the Queen Mother's hand, "Thanks to the Queen Mother for inviting Miss Su to accompany the concubine!" ”

The Queen Mother was pleased: "You are fine, you are young, life must go on, and the mourning family is afraid that you will not be able to think about it, and you will be dragged out of your body!" He smiled approvingly at Su Ruhui and said, "Yesterday, the mourning family and the emperor just gave you something, and now the virtuous concubine came to ask for peace in person, as if she came to tell the mourning family and the emperor that the reward was not given in vain!" ”

Su Ruhui smiled sweetly, and only after owing a debt did she say: "The virtuous concubine is in good health, that is the care of the Queen Mother, the concern of Your Majesty, and the credit of the imperial doctors, the courtiers dare not steal the merits!" The courtiers are just talking to their mothers, where have they done something? ”

Her humble attitude made the Queen Mother very satisfied, and said to Queen Zhou: "After all, she is a girl from a big family, and the Queen looks at this little mouth, what she says is actually leaky!" ”

Queen Zhou had a fun heart and said: "This child was not so sweet when he was in the palace of his daughter-in-law, but I think he became more and more clever when he came to the queen mother!" It can be seen that the queen mother is very good at training girls, and it is also a blessing for the Su family, so that her daughter can be raised under the mother's knees! ”

Saying that, Queen Zhou turned to Su Ruhui and said: "You can't say that you didn't do anything when you accompany Concubine Xian, this palace has seen that Concubine Xian's spirit has improved a lot during this time, and I was thinking about thanking you for Concubine Xian, but I didn't expect that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty were thoughtful and rewarded you first!" The palace is a step slower, go back to Weiyang Palace, and go to the treasury to pick some of your favorites. ”

Queen Zhou finished speaking softly, but the people who came out of the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were all smiling and silent. Su Ruhui couldn't help but smile and knelt down to thank her, and the queen was puzzled: "Queen Mother, did the daughter-in-law say the wrong thing?" ”

"Hee...... Queen Mother, you just complained that Lian'er didn't even let go of the queen's bamboo bar, now you can see, this is the queen's mother ready-made to send to the door to let Sister Ruhui extort a sum of money! Huo Qinglian held the Queen Mother's arm and smiled.

The Queen Mother was about to say something, but Qi Yun, who was serving on the side, also pursed her lips and said, "Miss Huo is really blessed, the things I just mentioned have come true so quickly!" ”

“…… Queen, you've really delivered it to your door! The Queen Mother almost squinted with a smile and looked at the Queen happily.

Queen Zhou was inexplicable, she thought about it quickly, she really didn't think of anything ridiculous, the queen is still very powerful in the palace, although the concubines saw the queen mother's strange smiles, each had their own guesses, but they didn't dare to show their voices, only the queen looked at the people in the hall laughing in confusion.

Zhou Yi'er saw that her aunt's face was starting to be embarrassed, and she couldn't bear it, so she took the initiative to speak: "Niangniang, you don't know, just now Sister Lian'er said that Sister Ruhua gave us a reward yesterday......" She roughly said what happened in the Queen Mother's bedroom just now, and couldn't help but say, "Sister Lian'er came up with an idea, and even Niangniang's reward was also in mind, thinking about giving three copies regardless of who Niangniang rewarded, at that time, we laughed at her greed, but I didn't expect that so soon, Niangniang would reward Sister Ruhui...... Isn't this sent to the door to rip off the bamboo for Sister Lian'er? ”

Zhou Yi'er said, Queen Zhou and the concubines couldn't cry or laugh, and the queen said angrily to the queen mother: "What do the daughters-in-law think is the matter, isn't it just a few rewards?" Don't say three copies, even the two children in Weiyang Palace are five copies, the daughter-in-law is still willing to do it, the queen mother smiled like this, the daughter-in-law thought she had said something wrong, and she was so anxious that she wanted to ask the queen mother for her guilt! ”

Concubine Gu Xian said on the side at this moment: "Fortunately! Fortunately! ”

The Queen Mother, who was originally going to talk to the queen, immediately wondered: "What are you lucky about?" ”

Queen Zhou also looked at her strangely, but saw Concubine Gu Xian pressing one hand on the green jade on her chest, and said with one hand and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the concubine said that she was a step slower - just now the concubine originally wanted to say that Miss Su had been with the concubine for a long time, and the concubine wanted to make a dress for her to wear, but I didn't expect the three young ladies here to be so united, if the concubine really made a skirt, Miss Su should cry!" ”

Everyone laughed again, but they heard Su Ruhui smile lightly: "Ruhui doesn't cry, fortunately, Sister Lian'er laughed today, so that the courtiers knew Niangniang's plan, Niangniang is just right now, how can she do automatic sewing?" Besides, what is the identity of a courtier, how dare she work to make clothes by herself? ”

"This kid is really attentive." The Queen Mother was slightly surprised when she heard this, but said to Concubine Xian with a smile, "But she probably doesn't know that although your craftsmanship is a little worse than Qi Yun's, you can compare with the first-class Xiuniang of the Shangfu Bureau!" The clothes you made with your own hands are not comparable to ordinary palace clothes! ”

Queen Zhou smiled beside her: "It can be seen that Sister Xian really likes Miss Su!" ”

After a few words of laughter, the Queen Mother seemed to be a little tired, Queen Zhou was very colorful, and was about to lead the concubines to retire, but she saw two figures stepping into the hall, about the same height and shortness, but it was the two royal grandsons under the Queen Mother's knees who came together.

Gan Ran was older than Gan Tang, so after kneeling down, he spoke first: "Grandson greets the imperial grandmother!" Gan Tang also opened a voice beside him to greet the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was overjoyed, and her spirits seemed to be lifted a lot, and she asked the two of them to go forward to show her.

Gan Tang is usually very sticky to the Queen Mother, but I don't know if it's because of many concubines, or because of Gan Ran, today he is in order, and he walked in front of the Queen Mother to answer the Queen Mother's questions one by one, as for Gan Ran, he obediently leaned on the Queen Mother's knees, looking at a well-behaved and quiet appearance.

Su Ruhui watched coldly, and said in her heart, these two highnesses look so well-behaved now, who would have thought that others would be so bold?

The Queen Mother carefully asked the two grandsons about their food and clothing, no matter how big or small, they seemed very concerned, Gan Tang because she lived with her mother Shen Shufei, the Queen Mother asked a few words, and looked up and said to Concubine Shu with satisfaction: "Gan Tang, you are taking care of it, this does not look much stronger, go back to the mourning family and mention it to the emperor, and ask him to go to the Yongxin Palace to see more!" ”

Shen Shufei was from everyone, and she thanked her dignified when she heard this, but Su Ruhui happened to raise her head and saw the clear joy in her eyes, and after the Queen Mother said this, Huo Guifei seemed to frown slightly, and swept her eyes silently.

After the Queen Mother asked Gan Tang, she seriously cared about Gan Ran, and Gan Ran answered them one by one. Su Ruhui looked very puzzled from the side, seeing the appearance of the Queen Mother, she was also very concerned about this grandson, it didn't look like she was trying to kill him? Then why is the Queen Mother so careless about taking care of Gan Ran's slaves herself?

To say that even if someone wants to attack the prince, there is now the eldest son of the prince who is very favored by the emperor, and then there is the fifth son of the emperor who is also the son-in-law, and the third son of Shen Shufei is also a noble mother. Although the Huo family, who raised Gan Ran, is a concubine, Gan Ran's biological mother is really humble, even if she gives birth to Gan Ran, she is now a lady.

And Gan Ran has always been inconspicuous among the five princes, neither as smart as the crown prince, nor as graceful as Gan Tang's queen mother, although it is more noticeable than the fifth son of the emperor who has only been in the past and the fourth son of the emperor who has not appeared until now, and is said to be weak and sickly, but he is not a grandson, nor a long man, is not virtuous, what reason is there for people not to tolerate him?

Su Ruhui was pondering, and suddenly heard himself mentioned in the conversation between the two emperors and grandsons and the queen mother, and suddenly his heart tightened!

But it was Gan Ran who said: "Imperial grandmother, just now my grandson was waiting for the third brother, so I stood outside the hall for a while before I came in with the third brother. Saying that, he naturally glanced at Su Ruhui.

This gaze almost didn't frighten Su Ruhua's soul to fly away, and he muttered in his heart that the Second Highness must not be like the Third Highness. Gan Tang is not a good person, don't look at his age, the means of applying eye medicine in front of the Queen Mother are very good. In the first few days, Zhou Yi'er was favored because she didn't like Huo Qinglian, but somehow Gan Tang saw it, and she almost made Zhou Yi'er cry in public.

After that, Zhou Yi'er was really afraid of him, and he didn't even dare to show resentment behind his back, so he let this highness stop!

What Gan Tang is best at is wearing a high hat sweetly on the one hand, and ravaging people so much that they can't say anything else. For example, the piece of pastry that he admired Su Ruhua at the beginning......

And although Su Ruhua has not been particularly "cared for" by Gan Tang because she has not expressed her resentment towards Huo Qinglian, she has heard Zhou Yi'er say too much about His Royal Highness's methods, so when she saw Gan Ran looking at herself with this seemingly natural but actually profound gaze, she remembered that the two emperors and grandsons seemed to have a good relationship when they entered the palace, and suddenly she couldn't calm down!

Just when Su Ruhui was praying fearfully that Gan Ran would not be as stubborn as Gan Tang, she heard the Queen Mother smile faintly: "Yes, what do you think?" ”

"Imperial grandmother, what do you think of your grandson? However, I feel that since the royal sister Le'an went, the imperial grandmother and the virtuous concubine are all cowardly, and they are secretly anxious but can't help, and now these young ladies have entered the palace, but they see that the imperial grandmother's complexion is much better, and the virtuous concubine can also come to ask for peace, so I think they should reward them with something to commend them. Gan Ran retracted his gaze and said to the Queen Mother with a smile.

After he finished speaking, the palace remembered the queen's words just now, and suddenly there was another burst of laughter.

Queen Zhou turned her head to Huo Guifei with a smile and said: "Sister, you are miserable, when His Royal Highness said this, he wanted to reward the two people of the queen mother and the sister of the virtuous concubine, which is at least six rewards!" Queen Zhou said so, but there was only ridicule in her tone, the Huo family has been favored for many years, not to mention six rewards, even sixty rewards may not be taken into account, but it is just the queen's joke.

Huo Shi knew that the Queen Mother didn't like herself, and every time she came to the Detai Palace, she pursued the principle of opening her mouth less and asking for peace more, so she smiled when she heard the words and didn't say anything. Gan Ran noticed his adoptive mother, after all, he had raised him for many years, and Gan Ran also knew that he could live comfortably in the palace, or because of the Huo family, it was impossible for people to be so indulgent with the biological mother who was still a lady, so he took the initiative to walk away from the queen mother's knees a few steps and leaned to Huo Guifei's side, and said in a slightly worried tone: "Mother, has the son made you embarrassed?" ”

Huo Shi saw Gan Ran's actions and the panic in his tone, and his heart was warm for no reason, although he was not his own child, but after all, he was raised by himself as soon as he landed, and there is a way that is not as good as raising kindness, it seems that it is right, Gan Ran still attaches great importance to his adoptive mother, and besides, he has been favored for many years, and he has not even been able to have a princess anymore, so he still has to count on this adopted son in the future.

So Huo Shi gently stroked his cheek and said with a smile: "What is this that Ran'er said?" You are sensible now, and you know that you are filial to the Queen Mother and the virtuous mother, and it is too late for the mother to be happy, isn't it a reward? As long as Ran'er is sensible, even if she asks her mother to take out her own money to reward others, it's nothing! ”

Saying that, Huo pushed Gan Ran away and knelt down from the chair.

The hall suddenly stopped talking, and watched her movements curiously. Even the Queen Mother put away the faint smile that leaned back to the Huo family and said, "What is the Huo family doing here?" ”

"The concubine wants to thank the Queen Mother!" Huo Shi knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said, "Last time, the queen mother taught the concubine to teach Gan Ran badly, and the concubine still didn't understand what the queen mother meant, but now it's only a few days later, when I saw Gan Ran, I found that he was a lot more sensible, and he actually knew how to honor the queen mother and the virtuous sister, it can be seen that the queen mother only really knows how to teach the prince, the concubine recalled, in the past, she only cared about conniving Gan Ran's nonsense, and always thought that the prince was still young, but she didn't expect that in addition to caring about the prince's food and clothing, he also had to teach him to know how to respect the elders and know how to respect the old and the young!" ”

Huo's words were extremely sincere, but the faces of the concubines in the palace were different, the last time the Queen Mother gave Huo's face in front of everyone, and even sent someone to Xifu Palace on the spot to pick up Gan Ran to live in Renshou Palace, all of them knew that this was the Queen Mother's dissatisfaction with the Huo Family, and wanted to deprive her of the right to raise the Second Highness, but she didn't expect that today Gan Ran was obviously still very attached to the Huo Family, and the Huo Family took the opportunity to play this hand, but forced the Queen Mother to return Gan Ran to her, at least to loosen her mouth.

After all, everyone knows the uninhibited temperament of the second prince, Huo's is also careless, and she is extremely favored by the emperor, even if the queen mother is full of words, she must also consider the mood of Emperor Changtai - who is a little older in the palace doesn't know, if the queen mother hadn't intervened at the beginning, the current queen would not be surnamed Zhou but Huo!

For a while, the hall was quiet, waiting for the Queen Mother's answer.
