Then, I walked through the Qianqing Gate with Yan Qizhi and returned to my residence, and instructed my personal palace maid Hua Qianhe Yefang to wash him, and told them to ask a doctor to show him the finger that had been broken by the fourth uncle.

I washed up briefly, packed up, and took the early winter and summer frost to the Kunning Palace to greet the imperial grandmother.

The imperial grandmother is in charge of the six palaces, although she is old and her mental strength is not as good as before, but she does her own thing and does not dare to have a trace of neglect.

When stepping through the long palace road, I saw a branch of red plum coming out of the wall, and the red petals were dotted with snow, which was very elegant.

I asked Dong Chu to fold two branches, and brought the delicate red plum to the outside of the main hall of Kunning Palace.

Before the imperial grandmother got up, all the concubines had already arrived and were waiting outside the hall.

However, among the concubines, I saw at first glance the very luxuriously dressed mother, who was whispering and laughing with the concubines, and the high ones ignored her, and the small and beautiful ones didn't know what to say, which made her frequently cover her mouth and laugh.

I frowned slightly, and then stepped forward, and the laughter stopped abruptly, even though I am a junior, but I am the princess of the emperor's father, and my position in the palace is more noble than that of the princesses of the imperial grandfather.

When the concubines saw me, the ladies above the concubine level bowed to me, and the beauties below the concubine position had to curtsy to me in a proper manner.

I returned the half-curtsy of the ladies above the concubine position, and the mother's chin was slightly raised, and she swept over the concubines with some pride.

My brows tightened more and more, with a decent smile on the corner of my mouth, pulled my mother aside, and reminded me in a low voice: "I didn't tell you, don't get too close to these concubines, why are you dressed like this, and you still have a good chat with them?" ”

The kings are outside, the emperor's grandfather is still alive, and the mothers and concubines of Uncle Wang are still in the palace if they are not dead, and now the fourth uncle, the fifth uncle and the seventh uncle are under house arrest, and their mothers and concubines do not know.

If you know, behind each concubine is a family, a family is intertwined, and you don't know how much is involved.

"How's I dressed? It's just something that is commonly worn, and it doesn't get in the way of anyone! Mother said absently.

I breathed a sigh of relief and continued to remind her: "As soon as the imperial grandmother is free, she personally raises silkworms, weaves and embroiders, and advocates frugality. ”

My mother looked down at her dress, turned a deaf ear to my reminder, and retorted to me: "Beiling Guotai and the people are safe, the wind and rain are smooth, and the treasury has been sufficient in recent years, and it is no longer like in the early years. In addition, your brother is the crown prince, how can I, as a mother, disgrace him in front of many concubines? ”

Saying that, my mother flicked her wide sleeves and said with disdain: "There is only one piece of clothing left and right, and I didn't spend extra silver, this is your uncle's filial piety to me." ”

Under the calm and calm waves, there are turbulent waves, how can you know the danger if you are not involved in it?

"Uncle is just a foreign minister who has received an idle job, don't let him send things to the palace again!" I said in a gentle tone and said, "The imperial grandmother is most taboo for her relatives to enter the palace too often. ”

The imperial grandfather tried to canonize the imperial grandmother's maternal family several times and three times, but the imperial grandmother refused, and it is rumored that in the early years, the country was initially decided, and the imperial grandfather was afraid that those meritorious ministers would rebel again, and wanted to slaughter the meritorious generals, but they were all dissuaded by the imperial grandmother with a life guarantee.

That's why my grandmother always taught me that the human heart is the most fickle thing and the best thing to buy.

The mother was instantly annoyed: "Xiao Xing, what do you mean by a foreign minister who has received an idle job?" That's your uncle, and your uncle whose blood is thicker than water. You are so loved by the emperor and queen that you don't even care about your mother and uncle? A piece of clothing that makes you say the flowers? ”

I smiled back at the concubines, reached out and clasped her arm, and pressed slightly: "Mother, I have only been out of the palace for five days, how many things did my uncle send into the palace?" ”

My mother's eyes were flustered, and she didn't dare to look at my eyes, and said, "No...... Not much ......"

Before she finished her words, she squeaked, and the aunt who served the imperial grandmother in Kunning Palace, Bei Lan opened the door of the main hall of Kunning Palace, crossed the threshold, and bent her knees: "Ladies and gentlemen, please!" ”

My mother shook me off in an instant and trotted towards the main hall, and the look at her outfit made my head ache.

The concubines walked in one by one in order of size, and at the beginning of the winter, he handed me the two red plum blossoms in his hand and reminded me: "Princess, Aunt Belan is watching you!" ”

I took the red plum blossom, breathed a sigh of relief, straightened my back, and walked over, and when Beran saw me curtsy, he led me in.

All the concubines have already said goodbye and have all taken their seats.

But my mother stood in front of the imperial grandmother and said to the imperial grandmother: "Queen Mother, my daughter-in-law came here today to ask the queen mother for something!" ”

The imperial grandmother held the Buddha beads in her hand and slowly twisted them, looking a little tired and said, "What's the matter, just say it!" ”

My mother turned her head to look at me, and when she saw that I was walking too slowly, she grabbed me and pulled me to her knees, and said, "Queen Mother, An An has reached the age of marriage, and the daughter-in-law has picked a good family background for her. ”
