Chapter 23 Xiang'an Palace
Xiang'an Palace
The Queen Mother was sitting upright on the couch, and there was still a slight smell of incense wafting in the air.
"The concubines see the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is blessed with Jin'an."
"Hurry up, why didn't you bring Chengyao over today?"
"Back to the Queen Mother, Aunt Qin led Cheng Yao to tailor her clothes early this morning, it's only been a month, and Xiao Yao's clothes have changed several times."
"Children grow fast, and new clothes inevitably need to be more diligent. Come here, and sit beside the mourner's house. ”
"Thank you Queen Mother", Jiang Yao got up, and the Queen Mother pulled Jiang Yao to sit beside her.
"Hmm", the Queen Mother looked her up and down, nodded and said: "Her complexion has improved a lot, and her face has become ruddy, which looks very different from the childbirth, and her body is recovering well." ”
"Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, the concubines are fine. Today just got a coral sent by the jade concubine, the concubine looks very rare, in the past, thanks to the care of the queen mother, the concubine was able to give birth to a Yao safely, now I want to borrow flowers to offer the Buddha to give this coral to the queen mother for you to watch at your leisure, but also the blessing of this coral. ”
Yun Sleeve listened to his master's tone as if he didn't know anything, and almost knelt down on the spot in fright, but thinking that he couldn't drag down his master, he held on.
The Queen Mother didn't take it too seriously, nodded Jiang Yao's forehead casually, and said: "Since giving birth to Ah Yao, your temperament is not as dull as before, the mourning family wants to see what kind of rare coral it is, if you are not satisfied, the mourning family will punish you." ”
Seeing the smile on the Queen Mother's face, Jiang Yao knew that the Queen Mother would not punish herself seriously, but was just making fun of herself.
immediately smiled and said: "If the queen mother is not satisfied, the concubine is making up an apology to the queen mother." ”
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction.
Jiang Yao motioned to Xiao Chengzi to open the box and present the coral to the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother saw the coral in the box, her face changed suddenly, and she couldn't hide her anger.
Jiang Yao asked ignorantly, "Queen Mother, what's wrong with this coral?" ”
The Queen Mother looked at Jiang Yao's ignorant face, thinking that she was born in the General's Mansion, and her grandfather was such a person who was upright and dedicated to the court, so he naturally would not teach some women's private calculations to her, so she pulled the corners of her lips and tried to make a happy appearance, and said, "This coral is very good...... It's a rarity. ”
Jiang Yao saw that the queen was not in good shape, and immediately said: "The concubine sees that your face is not very good, but you are tired, although this coral is a rare object, but your old man's body is more important, let's put it away today, it will not hurt to watch it in the future." ”
"I want to ask Aunt Qin that I can come back with Xiao Yao at this hour, and the concubine misses Xiao Yao a little, so I'll go back first."
When the Queen Mother heard that Xiao Yao's face was also better, she patted Jiang Yao's hand and said, "Go back and take good care of the good grandson of the mourning family, and take Ah Yao to sit in the mourning palace when you have time." ”
Jiang Yao hurriedly nodded yes.
After Jiang Yao left, the Queen Mother couldn't hold back the anger in her heart anymore, "This Jade Concubine is very calculating, is this harem really her world now?" ”
"The Queen Mother doesn't want to be like her, she has the courage to calculate your old man now, you can teach you a lesson, the slave and maid look at Concubine Jing and Niangniang is not as cowardly as before, it's better to ......" The latter words were not finished, the Queen Mother knew what she meant, this is the tacit understanding that has been working together for many years, and the master and servant have developed.
This is another aunt in charge of the Queen Mother's side - Wen Xian, the same as Aunt Qin, is also the Queen Mother's companion, and is very loyal to the Queen Mother.
"The pattern of this harem is also going to change...... "The Queen Mother said slowly.
