Chapter 222: Are You Sure It's Just a Pastime?

"Okay, this palace will pass." Jiang Yao was not hypocritical, and went directly to the Xiang'an Palace where the Queen Mother was located.

On the way, Jiang Yao asked towards the string: "I don't know what the Queen Mother summoned the palace this time?" ”

Because Jiang Yao is also an old acquaintance of Xiang'an Palace, Wen Xian is a little different from others to her, so she is also busy saying: "This old slave is not known yet, I only know that Song Ronghua passed one step ahead of you." ”

"Oh? That must be a good thing. Jiang Yao joked to herself, after all, with Song Ronghua here, the Queen Mother is usually in a good mood.

When I arrived at Xiang'an Palace, I saw the Queen Mother and Song Ronghua talking and laughing over there, Jiang Yao saw the salute first, and the Queen Mother also smiled and let her get up, and Song Ronghua also looked at her with a smile.

"The mourning family heard that Concubine Shu has been reading medical books recently?" The Queen Mother asked casually.

Jiang Yao smiled and said: "There are some, but this medical book is really not a good look, those concubines who are flowers and plants look the same, and they don't recognize it until the last one." ”

"Even the maids around the concubine are now embarrassed to make fun of the concubine, saying that the concubine is treating this medical book as a hypnotic book."

Seeing Jiang Yao's rare shyness, the Queen Mother and Song Ronghua also laughed, and then the Queen Mother asked: "Didn't you come today to talk about your hypnotic book, the mourning family wants to find someone to play chess with, why don't you try it?" ”

Jiang Yao looked at the Queen Mother with some surprise: "Song Ronghua is not here, why did the Queen Mother want to find a concubine?" ”

This is not a question, but I really don't understand it, the queen mother said as if complaining: "Song Ronghua, this girl is not shrewd in other things, but her chess skills are very good, and the mourning family is boring to play with her." ”

Jiang Yao immediately made a sudden realization: "The Empress Dowager thinks that the concubine's chess skills are not good, so the concubine who came to find it, the concubine is not convinced." ”

Seeing Jiang Yao's appearance, the Queen Mother was not only unhappy, but also said with interest: "Then let's try it to know whether the mourning family guesses accurately." ”

"Ask the strings, go get the chess."

Seeing the Queen Mother's interested, Jiang Yao was a little confused, could it be that the Queen Mother really just wanted her to play chess?

But although Song Ronghua is by his side now, Jiang Yao can't ask directly in person, secretly thinking about whether to show his true strength, or pretend to be poor at chess?

Immediately recalled the chess skills of the original owner, and thought about what the Queen Mother said before, and finally decided to fight with all his might, after all, the chess skills of the original owner are really not very powerful.

After the chessboard was set, Wen Xian and Song Ronghua waited on the side, watching by themselves, and then when the real start came, Jiang Yao was extremely glad that he had not decided to release the water before.

As far as the queen mother's chess skills are concerned, she may not be able to win despite her best efforts, let alone release water?

Seeing Jiang Yao's brows furrowed deeply, thinking hard, the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth couldn't help but bring a smile, it seems that her chess skills are not so bad.

couldn't help but feel happy for a long time, but she found that Jiang Yao was not so watery, and she was busy thinking about it, but the two were deadlocked.

Finally, the first game ended with Jiang Yao narrowly winning a move, but the Queen Mother muttered like a child: "No, no, let's play again, the mourning family was not ready just now." ”

Seeing this, Jiang Yao was also happy to come again, after all, there was nothing to do in this palace all day, and it was rare to meet an opponent of equal strength, and she was willing to come a few more.

But then, looking at the Queen Mother's more and more flattering smile, the smile on the corner of Jiang Yao's mouth, who had lost three times in a row, was a little unbearable.

Seeing this, Song Ronghua came out to play a round and said, "Okay, okay, Queen Mother, you are a bit of a bully." ”

The Queen Mother glanced at her with disgust: "It's only been a long time, but you are biased towards your sister Shufei." ”

But he really didn't play chess anymore, and the fate of the string was closed, and the Queen Mother asked Jiang Yao: "I heard that this Wang Guiyi is pregnant today?" ”

"Yes, it's been three months since the imperial doctor found out, and the emperor also ordered the queen to take care of it carefully."

"Well, that's a good thing."

Jiang Yao had a dignified smile on her face, but it was clear in her heart, I was afraid that the Queen Mother would have known about this news for a long time, and I asked her face to face at this time, I am afraid that I also wanted to see how she reacted.

After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while, after finding out Jiang Yao's attitude, the Queen Mother let the two leave.

On the way, Jiang Yao looked at Song Ronghua, who was still smiling freely, and said, "Sister, don't you want to have a child?" ”

Song Ronghua looked back at her: "The matter of the child, if you are not in a hurry, you don't have to deliberately, you will always come, but if you shouldn't come, how can I pray and what's the use?" ”

Seeing Song Ronghua say this, Jiang Yao no longer persuaded him, and happened to be behind the gate of Sui'an Palace, said goodbye to Song Ronghua, and turned around and entered the palace.

When I came back, I happened to see the little palace maid smoking incense, Jiang Yao's nose has always been very sharp, and she immediately asked, "Is the incense changed?" It smells different than it used to. ”

The little palace maid who was incense hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Jiang Yao smiled slightly: "This palace still thinks that the previous distribution by the Internal Affairs Office was very good, so let's exchange it back." ”

"Yes, sissy."

But after Jiang Yao and Song Ronghua left, the Queen Mother looked ahead a little suddenly, and asked with some concern: "What is the Queen Mother thinking?" ”

"The mourning family actually saw the shadow of their youth from this concubine, don't you think it's strange, obviously there is so much difference between us."

Wen Xian also replied with a smile: "Niangniang, your favored status is not worse than that of Shufei Niangniang, you say this, the old slave wants to come, Shufei's intelligence is a little bit of your shadow." ”

"Smart, you can use medical books as hypnosis, and talk about He Conghui."

The Queen Mother said as if jokingly, but there was joy between her eyebrows.

Then she seemed to think of something, and the Queen Mother also showed a little sadness on her face: "This girl is better than the Mourning family's fate, and the Mourning family did not have a prominent identity background, and there was no family father and brother who could help." ”

"I have come to this point with the strength of not admitting defeat, but from this point of view, if I put Concubine Shu on myself back then, I am afraid that such a thing will not happen."

Seeing the sadness on the Queen Mother's face, Wen Xian knew that she was remembering the past again, and hurriedly persuaded: "The Queen Mother, you are also a person with grandchildren now, and when the eldest prince grows up, he will be able to amuse you every day, and now that Wang Guiyi is also pregnant, you will be busy in the future." ”

Hearing Wen Xian say this, the Queen Mother's spirit was also a little better, and she ordered her subordinates to hurry up and reward Wang Guiyi.

Wen Xian wondered: "The old slave looked at the Queen Mother this time, but she was much calmer than the previous concubine Niangniang's pregnancy?" ”

The Queen Mother glanced at Wen Xian, but the emotions circulating in her eyes made Wen Xian stunned.
