Within a few days, the Xue family entered the palace to greet Queen Zhou, and Queen Zhou ordered someone to invite Zhao Guiren in advance.

Hearing that the Xue family entered the palace, the biggest reaction was Concubine Li Xian.

In the past, she only thought that the Xue family was tepid, and she was the most dignified lady, and she didn't feel anything in her heart.

Since the Xue family and Queen Zhou arranged for her, she is now afraid of the Xue family.

Not to mention going to Kunning Palace to show her face when people enter the palace, she also has to deliberately inquire where the Xue family is going, whether to stay in the palace, so that she can avoid her.

When Zhao Guiren heard the news from Queen Zhou's order, he was inexplicably overjoyed, knowing that this was his chance to save his image in front of the Queen Mother.

I didn't expect Queen Zhou to really take her affairs to heart, which made her somewhat moved.

Zhao Guiren dressed up and hurriedly went to Kunning Palace, lest he would be sluggish when he fell behind, which made Queen Zhou and the Xue family a little displeased.

When Zhao Guiren arrived, Empress Zhou and Xue had just finished chatting about family life, and they talked about what happened in the Imperial Garden that day, and Xue kept smiling when they heard it.

"What happened that day, the noble concubine has told me many times."

After Empress Zhou finished speaking, Xue said this, and couldn't laugh or cry, "You don't know, the noble concubine is angry, and she said again and again that Concubine Li Xian is the same as Concubine Li Xian of the first emperor dynasty, she is a scheming master." ”

Queen Zhou was also helpless after hearing this.

Concubine Li Xian of the First Emperor Dynasty was a criminal concubine, which should not be mentioned according to reason, but the noble concubine mentioned it in the Imperial Garden that day, and the Queen Mother did not stop it when she heard it.

Now Empress Zhou has listened to it again.

She shook her head helplessly, "We haven't seen the one from the First Emperor Dynasty, and we don't know." But according to my thoughts, Concubine Xian is not like this. ”

Concubine Li Xian has changed a little after entering the palace, but she is not like Concubine Li Xian of the first emperor dynasty, cholera dynasty, poisoning concubines in the harem.

"I don't know, I just know that the concubine is angry."

The Xue family was even more helpless than Queen Zhou, "I went into the imperial garden to greet the noble concubine, and she pulled me to talk for a long time." Later, our prince asked me what the concubine had said that I had been gone for so long, how do you say I would answer? Could it be that his adoptive mother hates Concubine Li Xian very much and thinks that Concubine Li Xian is very similar to his biological mother? One is a mother-in-law and the other is a current mother-in-law, which side should I say bad things about? ”

Queen Zhou couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "Also, it's hard for you, people who have always been fair and upright, there are times when they can't speak." ”

The two were talking and laughing, and suddenly heard that Zhao Guiren was coming, and Queen Zhou said to Xue: "Oh, Zhao Guiren was invited by me, she has something to ask you to help, if you are free, you can help her." ”

"Me?"

Xue Shi was a little puzzled, "I heard from the noble concubine that she likes Zhao Guiren a lot, saying that she has a good temperament, but what does she need my help with?" ”

"To be precise, I need the help of the noble concubine."

Queen Zhou didn't say much, anyway, she would know when Zhao Guiren came in after a while, she nodded to the palace maid, and after a while, people were led in.

Zhao Guiren entered the palace and hurriedly saluted, "Say hello to the queen, hello to the second princess." ”

"Hello nobleman."

Xue also bowed to her, and Queen Zhou said, "Sit down and talk." ”

"The second princess also said that she went into the imperial garden to greet the concubine, and the concubine said that she liked you very much."

Queen Zhou deliberately talked and smiled at Zhao Guiren: "It's a good thing that you voted for the concubine, and there will be more good children in the future." ”

Xue Shi also nodded, "Yes, the noble concubine really likes you, and said that she also rewarded the white hosta she has been keeping." Now that the people who are paying tribute from outside, they can't think of such a good white jade anymore. ”

Zhao Guiren was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "It is the noble concubine who carries her love, and the concubine is also grateful." It's just that the concubine made a mistake in the imperial garden a few days ago, thinking that she was afraid of upsetting the queen mother, so she was full of thoughts about how to make up for it. Fortunately, the queen's mother pointed out the maze, and the concubine wanted to come to the second princess. ”

"Please?"

Xue Shi vaguely knew in his heart, and only said, "What did you do?" Why didn't I hear this when I went to the Imperial Garden? ”

"In fact, this thing is big and big, and small is small."

Zhao Guiren told the Xue family about her dispute with Concubine Li Xian, "...... Although she didn't really beat me, the two of us had a very ugly argument there, but I was afraid that the Queen Mother had heard about it. In the end, both of us are at fault in this matter, and now we just hope that the Queen Mother will not blame. But you also know, princess, that it is inconvenient for me to go out in the harem, and I can't go to the queen mother to kowtow in person to make amends. ”

The Xue family listened to the ins and outs of the future, and bowed slightly.

It's not a big deal," the noble man is diligent and careful, thinking that Concubine Li Xian doesn't care if the queen mother knows or not. But how do you want me to help? ”

Zhao Guiren hurriedly said: "That's the case, the second princess is the daughter-in-law of the concubine, can you ask the second princess to ask the concubine for me to ask for a favor for me, and ask her to say a few kind words for me in front of the queen mother?" ”

It turned out that she hoped to let herself go to the concubine, and she was exempted from her guilt by taking advantage of the good face of the concubine and the queen mother.

Xue smiled: "This is the idea that the queen mother gave you?" ”

Zhao Guiren was embarrassed for a while, she looked at Queen Zhou and kept silent.

Empress Zhou was kind enough to help her, how could she betray Empress Zhou?

But Queen Zhou herself smiled and patted Xue's hand, "It was my idea." It's rare that the noble concubine likes her, this is a convenient thing, and it is just to mention it to the noble concubine when you go to the imperial garden to ask for peace again, and she is willing to tell the queen mother that it will not hinder you. ”

"yes, yes."

Zhao Guiren hurriedly helped, "I just ask the second princess to bring a word for me, if the concubine refuses to help me, I will think again." ”

She felt that the concubine would not refute her face, and would probably help her.

Xue thought for a moment, "Since it is the queen's mother's guarantee, even if I don't give you face, I have to give the queen's mother face." Well, I'm done. After leaving the palace for a while, I will go to the Imperial Garden to talk to the noble concubine and persuade her to help you say a few good words in front of the queen mother. ”

Zhao Guiren was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to salute Xue's blessing, "Thank you Second Princess, thank you Queen Mother for giving this idea to the concubine." ”

Queen Zhou was silent, and Zhao Guiren also knew how to read her face, so she said: "Then I won't disturb the two of you talking, and the concubine will retire." ”

Then he slowly withdrew from the temple.

After she left, Empress Zhou said to the Xue family: "You promised to be happy today, but it was beyond my expectations. ”

"Can I not agree to this?"

Xue Shi crossed his fingers and calculated with her, "On the one hand, it is the face of your queen mother, on the other hand, it is the affection of Zhao Guiren, and more importantly, if my mother-in-law knows that I have rejected this matter, she must be anxious with me." ”
