"Concubine Lan's people?" The queen asked, with a crack on her dignified face.

"That's right, it's Concubine Lan's mother, a big palace maid who was with her before, and she was kicked out three years ago after an accident." Xi Mama knelt on the ground, 1510 report.

He lowered his head and didn't dare to peek at the face of the queen.

The hall was silent, so quiet that Mama Xi could almost hear her breathing, and Mama Xi's head lowered more and more.

It took a long time to hear the voice of the queen mother: "Is it really Concubine Lan's person?" ”

"The slave maid is indeed Concubine Lan's person!" Hi Mama said.

This time it was a long silence time, and there was a feeling of depression in the silent atmosphere, and the suppressed Xi Mama was out of breath.

"Why did Concubine Lan's people appear next to that Miss Shao Wu in the Xingguo Mansion? Isn't it...... Fancy her? The queen's voice seemed to be talking to herself, and it sounded quite peaceful.

"The slave doesn't think it's like it, three years ago, the palace man did have to leave the palace because of something, that time the queen was fair, and even the emperor couldn't say anything!"

Mama Xi cautiously reminded her that the incident three years ago was a confrontation between the queen mother and Concubine Lan, and it was indeed an accident, and this accident ended in the victory of the queen mother, driving Concubine Lan's henchmen out of the palace.

The queen mother was silent again, she naturally remembered this matter, how could she forget the victory when there were a lot of two people secretly competing against each other.

Three years ago, Shao Wanru was only the second lady of the Qin Mansion, and she came from a remote place, and she had nothing to do with Jingzhong, so it was indeed impossible to have anything to do with Concubine Lan, the only thing that could be related was that Chu Liuchen went to Jiangzhou, and I heard that he lived in General Ningyuan's Mansion in Jiangzhou.

But it's just to live, then Shao Wanru is only eleven years old, and she doesn't know anything, no one can calculate such a young girl, and at that time she was not favored, and she was already in trouble with the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion on the ground in Jiangzhou.

No matter how you look at it, Concubine Lan can't choose her!

Was that really just an accident? She was a little unconvinced.

"Three years ago, I heard that the Queen Mother deliberately wanted to give this fifth lady of the Xingguo Mansion to King Chen, isn't it true?" The queen said.

She said this very lightly, and she didn't want Mama Xi to answer, but just subconsciously talking to herself.

Three years ago, she guessed so, and felt that the Queen Mother's various behaviors were full of hints, first summoned and then asked Shao Wanru to go to the side hall to rest, and there happened to be King Chen in the side hall, so it seemed that the Queen Mother wanted to rub them, but the Queen Mother always felt very suspicious.

Shao Wanru is not an excellent candidate, why does the Queen Mother like her so much.

The queen is the daughter-in-law of the queen mother, and she knows a lot about her eccentric mother-in-law, and she has always known that the queen mother wants to find a powerful and powerful noble girl for King Chen, so that King Chen can enjoy the glory after she is gone.

Although Shao Wanru's identity is not bad, she is backed by the Ruian Eldest Princess Mansion and the Xingguo Mansion, but those who are familiar with the inside story know that the Xingguo Mansion cannot support Shao Wanru, and the Ruian Eldest Princess Mansion is an empty shelf, such a candidate is not the Queen Mother's favorite candidate.

At that time, the Queen Mother gave out the jade pendant, and the most likely thing was that meaning, so I would like to express it first, but the Queen Mother was willing to really only allow her, like this time, she will inevitably secretly re-choose.

As for the rumors that were released, they were just the most intuitive conjectures of some people about the Empress Dowager's actions at that time, and they couldn't be true.

Since it couldn't be true, Concubine Lan wouldn't interfere.

So, after Concubine Lan's palace maid was kicked out of the palace, was it really just an accident?

"Go check the records of her leaving the palace at that time, and see why she went to Qin Mansion to be a nurturing grandmother, who asked her to go, or did she take the initiative to ask for it?"

After muttering for a while, the queen mother instructed a heart-wrenching palace maid on the side.

"Yes, mother, the slave will check it now!" The palace maid left in a hurry, and the hall was quiet again, and the queen mother frowned and thought about it quietly.

This incident was so unexpected, the accident made her have all kinds of speculations for a while, but when she thought about it, she didn't know which one was true, it seemed that it was all possible, some were more likely, and some were less likely.

Xi Mama bowed her head and knelt there, not daring to move, even if she didn't look up, she knew that the queen's face was very ugly now, and the news she brought was a blockbuster.

sat and knelt, and there were two palace maids standing beside the queen's mother, but they were silent without a sound.

"Queen Mother, His Royal Highness King Zhou has come down!" Suddenly, a high-pitched voice of a eunuch came from the door of the temple.

"Let him in!" The queen said coldly.

The door of the hall was wide open, Chu Liuzhou strode in, and when he saw the kneeling Xi Mama, he just glanced at her, and then continued to move forward, walked in front of the queen's mother, and after a salute, asked with concern: "Is the queen mother's body unwell?" ”

The queen's expression looked a little gloomy.

"It's all right, sit down and talk!" The queen mother stretched out her hand and pointed to the chair next to her.

King Zhou walked over and lifted his robe and sat down.

"The queen mother has something on her mind?"

"For the sake of the draft!" The queen didn't hide it, she reached out and rubbed her eyebrows, looking quite tired.

"Isn't there a draft yet? Why is the queen mother so tired, if she is really tired, just choose a few concubines to preside, and the queen mother only needs to take a last look! ”

Chu Liuzhou said casually.

"Zhou'er, you told the queen mother, do you have any intention of marrying the eldest lady of the Xingguo Mansion as the concubine?" The queen smiled bitterly and shook her head.

As the master of the harem, she looks infinitely beautiful, but in fact, it is difficult step by step, not only the emperor but also the queen mother, neither of these two people is easy to fool, what she hopes most at the moment is her son.

If his son had stepped into that position, he would not have to walk on thin ice as he does now.

"You can be a side concubine!" Chu Liuzhou thought for a while.

At the earliest, he really wanted Shao Yanru to be the concubine, but recently he has been very shelved, although it is said that Chu Qing saved Shao Jie'er, but he is an insider who saw it on the spot, how can he really not know that the reason why he and Chu Liuyue insisted that Shao Jie'er fell into the water was that he was afraid that Shao Yanru would really be paired with Chu Qing.

This son of the first emperor knew at a glance that he was restless, and he used so many tricks to appear in front of the world.

The children of the royal family have always been exquisite, how could they really be confused by some coincidences, everything is just a means, and with this means, Chu Qing really appeared in front of the world, became the son of the first emperor, and faintly had the capital to compete with them.

If you find him another powerful wife, it will not be good for anyone.

However, his shelf for Shao Yanru also exists, in Chu Liuzhou's view, Shao Yanru's reputation is already at a loss, and Chu Qing and Chu Qing pulled and hugged each other in front of him, and there were guards on the side to help at that time, and they seemed to help hug and hold up.

However, no matter how much he put it aside, he couldn't push Shao Yanru to Chu Liuyue's side, thinking about it, he felt that a concubine gave Shao Yanru, who had a loss of honor, and he couldn't swallow this breath, as if he had swallowed something unclean in his throat, but he could still give the position of a side concubine.

"The Xingguo Mansion will not agree to their eldest daughter as a side concubine!" The queen mother frowned and said displeasedly.

There is a discrepancy between her and Chu Liuzhou's thoughts, of course she knows about Shao Yanru's falling into the water, but so what, anyway, there is no news of Shao Yanru falling into the water outside, this matter is topped by Shao Jie'er, so in front of people, Shao Yanru is still intact.

The strength of the Xingguo Mansion really made her blush.

"In front of me, pulling and pulling with other men, hugging each other with wet clothes, and the same with the guards, how can the Xingguo Mansion still have the conditions to talk to me about the position of concubine!" Chu Liuzhou said disdainfully.

With these prerequisites, as long as they put it forward, the Xingguo Mansion cannot refuse.

The queen mother was not as optimistic as he thought, and her brows were still furrowed: "What if Chu Liuyue gives her a concubine position?" ”

"Chu Liuyue also saw her appearance at that time, if he didn't want to raise his head in front of me, he could only give her a side concubine position."

Chu Liuzhou said.

The two of them are brothers, and they are also in a competitive relationship, since they beat the governor, the two of them have this kind of relationship, and they don't give in to each other, when they saw Shao Yanru falling into the water, the two of them were together, and it was also because both of them hesitated at the time that Chu Qing took advantage of the loophole.

The scene of Chu Qing rescuing Shao Yanru, others don't know, but the two of them saw it with their own eyes, if they let her be their wife, they will inevitably lose face in front of another person.

No one wants to lose this face, even if they compete for the throne, the prince also has the pride of the prince!

Hearing him say this, the queen mother was silent for a while, feeling reasonable.

"Even if you give you the position of side concubine, there is no guarantee that this eldest lady of the Xingguo Mansion will enter your Zhou Palace." The queen pointed out new questions.

"Queen Mother, don't worry, this matter will be talked about when the show girls enter the palace, you are the host of the draft, what accidents will happen at that time, or what will happen, there will be many people, who will tell!" Chu Liuzhou smiled meaningfully.

During the draft, you have to live in the palace for a period of time, and there are many concubines in the palace, and it is really simple to want something to happen.

The queen mother nodded in agreement, but then frowned tightly: "The palace sent Mama Xi to raise Miss Shao before, and she also raised this Miss Shao on the surface and beat her secretly, but now something is wrong." ”

"What's the problem?" Chu Liuzhou asked.

The queen's face was gloomy, and she didn't speak for a while, and then she said: "Since you plan to let Shao Yanru enter your Zhou Palace, then the other young lady of the Xingguo Mansion, Shao Wanru, cannot be selected." ”

"Queen Mother, let her also be selected into the Zhou Palace!" Chu Liuzhou said suddenly, and the queen raised her head in amazement.
