Chapter 292: Entering the palace for tea
The palace, with red walls and yellow tiles, heavy courtyards, and layers of halls, shows the solemnity, vastness, and brilliance of the palace everywhere.
Chu Huaijin took his princess's hand and walked towards Kunning Palace, Kapok's back was straight, her eyes did not squint, and the palace grandmother had also taught her the etiquette in the palace. Her every move is dignified and elegant.
"Lord, the princess is here, please inside, the queen mother is waiting in the palace." Gonggong Li said respectfully and brought the two into Kunning Palace.
The queen mother is sitting on the right seat of Kunning Palace, and the imperial concubine is sitting on the lower seat.
The imperial concubine is also well maintained, although some fine lines can be seen on her face, the skin of people who are almost fifty is still very firm.
Kapok has the emperor's permission, so there is no need to kneel and bow, and he bowed slightly. "The daughter-in-law has seen the queen mother, the imperial concubine."
"Come, give the princess a seat." The Queen Mother's face was gentle.
Chu Huaijin glanced at the princess who was given to sit, huh? It's his own son who doesn't deserve to sit, who told him that he doesn't have a grandson in his belly.
He was also glad to see his queen treat his princess well.
"This is the princess who the third prince newly married into the door, look at this appearance is indeed a country and a city, no wonder the third prince can be asked to marry a girl from the countryside with such an identity. There are so many ladies in the capital, but the three princes are all unsightly. The imperial concubine sat on a high seat, looked at the kapok from head to toe, and finally her eyes fell on her slightly bulging lower abdomen, with a look of disdain.
It's just this kind of girl from a small family who doesn't love herself. Leaning on the child to get on top.
"Concubine, the princess of this king is now also a high-ranking county lord appointed by the emperor, in the eyes of this king, the princess is the best woman in the world, not comparable to those ladies in the capital." Chu Huaijin said coldly. There was a bit of displeasure in his tone.
"The mourning family also loves this royal daughter-in-law very much, and the concubine will know how good the daughter-in-law of the mourning family is if she has more contact. Jin'er is still very discerning. The Queen Mother still looked at Kapok with a gentle face.
The imperial concubine was very puzzled in her heart, the third prince was poured ecstasy soup by the princess, even the queen mother helped the princess speak, she didn't see that this princess was reasonable in addition to her appearance, what else could she do, and she was not worthy of marrying into the palace at all.
She is especially unworthy of her niece, who is the concubine of the protector of the country, both civil and military, and follows her brother to the battlefield to kill the enemy, brave and strategic, even a man can't compare, and is the first female general of the Great Chu State.
The niece has been infatuated with the third prince for many years, and even pretended to be a soldier to mix in the army of the third prince, followed him to the battlefield, and this time revealed her identity.
The niece also worshipped the three princes when she was studying martial arts, and wanted to have a common hobby with the three princes. It's best to go into battle with him and be his right-hand man.
It's a pity that it backfired, and the third prince refused his niece several times, causing her niece to be hurt and go to the army with her brother who was a general.
Unexpectedly, the third prince found a peasant girl to marry, and if her niece knew about it, she might be so sad!
The imperial concubine felt sorry for her niece, so she was hostile to Kapok.
"Heh, a woman who handed over her body before she got married, so casual, anyway, the mourning family doesn't like it. A scheming woman who relied on the child in her womb to marry into the palace. The imperial concubine thought so and said so.
No matter what, her identity as the imperial concubine is there, although there is no prince by her side. But there is also an eldest princess daughter. The eldest princess was the favorite princess of the former emperor during his lifetime.
She was able to become the first concubine of all concubines, one of which was because the eldest princess was favored by the emperor.
Other concubines are more expensive than their mothers, and she is more expensive than their daughters. The emperor gave the eldest princess the title early on, gave her the princess's mansion, and spent endless gold, silver and jewelry.
There are even tens of thousands of guards who rely on the eldest princess. This kind of holy grace can't even be compared to the prince.
The imperial concubine has such a daughter, and her status in the harem is second only to the queen mother, and even the emperor has to give her a little thin face for the concubine.
Therefore, she doesn't have to worry about others, and she can say whatever she wants unscrupulously.
She just can't look down on the unmarried and pregnant princess in front of her.
"The concubine said cautiously, this king left Beijing before to go to the fiefdom county, and the concubine also knew that your niece Situ Jing had always been a thief to this king, and disguised as the king's escort followed him to Taohua Village in the county. Situ Jing was bold and unrestrained, and expressed his intention to the king several times and was rejected. The king was so annoyed that he drove her back to Beijing.
I didn't think that Situ Jing's behavior was despicable, and he didn't care about his name, but he went to the water that the king drank to disperse. This king was tricked, intending to avoid Situ Jing. The king went out of the house and hid in a ruined temple, when the princess was framed and also appeared in the ruined temple. It was the princess who cured the king's medicine. The king and the princess agreed to agree.
To say that casual people are also the niece of the concubine, not the princess of this king. This princess is kind by nature and simple-minded, and she hopes that the princess will stay virtuous. Don't rely on the old and sell the old and bully the princess and princess. Chu Huaijin warned the concubine with a cold face.
At the same time, he also said a long sentence to explain that the princess was pregnant before marriage. No one is allowed to discredit the princess.
The imperial concubine didn't know that her niece had even done the drug. She was slapped in the face in public by the third prince at the moment, and her face was a little ugly.
The third prince didn't care about her identity as the imperial concubine at all, and said it so desperately. She didn't know what to do with herself.
"The mourning family knows this, and the royal daughter-in-law of the mourning family has been wronged. The mourning family will make up for the royal daughter-in-law. Mianmian came to sit on the mother's side, and the queen mother prepared a lot of rare treasures for you. The Queen Mother looked at Kapok lovingly.
"The daughter-in-law thanked her mother, and the queen mother had a heart." Kapok walked over generously, didn't even give the imperial concubine a look, and sat down next to the queen mother.
If she is kind to her, she will naturally return, and if she is hostile to her, she does not need to please.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very close, just chatting as if no one was around. Kapok is very good at coaxing the queen mother to be happy, and the laughter of the queen mother is spread in the palace from time to time.
The imperial concubine was left to the side in the cold, and she didn't stay or stay, and she felt very uncomfortable.
She has been honored all her life, and for the first time, she has been given a cold reception. It's hard to swallow this breath in my heart.
Isn't it that there is a son who is the emperor, and there is a young son who leans towards the government and the opposition, and the emperor's daughter-in-law who married is not a peasant family in the countryside. What is there to be proud of.
The imperial concubine only gave birth to a daughter, the eldest princess, and she herself could not give birth to a prince, and she was very jealous of the queen mother who gave birth to two sons.
"The queen mother spoils the royal daughter-in-law so much, but beware that she will be pampered and arrogant. The princess also came for a while, but the queen mother didn't drink the tea from the emperor's daughter-in-law. You, the royal daughter-in-law, don't take the queen mother in your eyes. The imperial concubine raised her chin and provoked.
She just can't see the queen mother better, and she wants to stir up the separation of her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
