Chapter 330: Competing for Favor (1)
Murong Yan took the tea outside the study.
Before he could get close to the door of the study, he was stopped by the prince's own soldiers. The attitude of the pro-soldiers guarding the door was respectful: "Concubine Murong, please stay, the study is heavy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has an order, and no trespassers are allowed."
Obviously, Su Huan entered the study just now. Why don't you let her in?
Murong Yan was angry in her heart, but her face did not show it, and she smiled in a soft voice: "I personally made tea, and I want to invite His Highness to taste it. You go and tell the word."
Mingzhu, the bridal maid beside her, quietly stepped forward and stuffed a purse for her own soldiers. The pro-soldier seemed to be burned with his hands, but he was busy pushing but didn't want to, and just stuffed it back.
Mingzhu glanced at his master helplessly, Murong Yan pursed his lips, and Mingzhu had to take back his purse.
When Murong Yan first married into the East Palace, she brought a rich dowry and gold and silver. The criterion that wealth can pass through the gods, but it doesn't work when you enter the East Palace. His Royal Highness the Prince, who is gentle and good-tempered, is extremely strict, and the soldiers and servants around him refuse to accept even the silver.
Murong Yan waited outside the door for a long time, waiting until the tea was cold, and she was full of anxiety and impatience before being put into the study.
Then, after three inspections, the tea was completely cooled before being placed in front of the prince.
The prince raised the teacup, put it down with his lips, and said lightly, "There is no shortage of tea here, you don't have to send tea from time to time. If you have time, go to the Jiaofang Palace, and do your filial piety to the queen mother on behalf of the orphan."
Again.
For more than half a year, Murong Yan didn't know how many times she had heard the same words, and she felt very aggrieved.
is also a side concubine, Su Huan can always be by the prince's side. The prince also often ordered the imperial dining room to prepare Su Huan's favorite meals and send them to them.
And she was left to dry. The prince has never entered her room. This has made her a big joke inside and outside the palace.
However, the eldest brother privately told her that in front of the prince, she should not be petty. Otherwise, it will only make the prince's heart farther and farther away.
Murong Yan suppressed the grievances in her heart, raised her eyes and responded, "What His Royal Highness said, the concubine body remembers it in her heart, and the concubine body goes to the Jiaofang Palace every day to greet the queen mother."
A pair of wonderful eyes looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with affection.
However, Lang's heart was like iron, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was a little puzzled: "You go now."
Murong Yan: "......"
Murong Yan was about to cry aggrievedly: "Does Your Highness hate me like this? I have been in the East Palace for more than half a year, and His Royal Highness has never looked at me. What did I do wrong, Your Highness said, I will change it."
The prince didn't have the heart to pity the jade, and said lightly: "I summoned the ministers of the East Palace to discuss the matter. Don't bother here, go quickly!"
Murong Yan withdrew from the study with red eyes.
She covered her face with her sleeves, hurried back to the bedroom, slammed the door shut, lay on the bed, covered her head and face with the futon and cried.
This is also the reason for the lesson.
When she first entered the East Palace, she was crying in the bedroom, and the voice came out of the door, and Queen Su scolded her severely when she found out. She was starved for two days, dizzy with hunger. After crying again, he quietly hid in the futon.
After crying, Murong Yan had to clean up her face and go to the Jiaofang Hall to ask for peace.
Su Huan's nasty ghost also came, and he entered the Jiaofang Hall one step ahead of her. Queen Su was gentle and amiable to Su Huan, and when she turned her head to look at Murong Yan, her expression was much colder.
"Murong Clan," Empress Su said lightly, "Who in the palace has treated you harshly?"
Murong Yan replied in a low voice, "No."
"Since no one is mean to you, don't look like you're being treated all day long." Empress Su's voice was slightly deep.
Murong Yan held back her tears and whispered.
Queen Su ignored her anymore, turned her head to Su Huan and smiled: "Sister An will turn over in a few days, and the palace will let the nurse carry Sister An out."
Su Huan nodded with a smile.
The long days in the palace are actually very monotonous. Queen Su had no choice but to raise Sister An, and in the past few months, she has developed a relationship, and she always has to hug her twice a day.
Su Huan happily accompanied Queen Su to tease Sister An. looked at Queen Su's smiling mold
In this way, Su Huan couldn't help but have a thought in his mind.
This unidentified little county lord can be favored by Queen Su. If the East Palace has an heir, I don't know how happy Queen Su will be......
However, the prince never touched her, where did the child come from!
Thinking of this, Su Huan's mood was instantly depressed.
Queen Su glanced at Su Huan quietly, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you speak all of a sudden? Is there something on your mind? Let's talk about it for Hongu. If someone in the East Palace bullies you, this palace will support you."
Su Huan immediately came back to his senses, and responded with a smile: "I am very good in the palace, the prince's cousin is very good to me, and no one in the East Palace bullies me."
Empress Su said softly, "I stayed in the East Palace all day, and I was really depressed. The Su family handed over the post to the palace, and you will be able to meet the daughter of the Su family tomorrow."
Su Huan was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.
Murong Yan couldn't hold it back, and plucked up the courage to open her mouth and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine also wants to see her mother."
Empress Su glanced at Murong Yan: "Madam Murong also handed over the post to the palace, this palace has already sent a word of mouth, and Mrs. Murong will enter the palace together tomorrow."
Murong Yan was both surprised and delighted, and the grievances and dissatisfaction in her heart suddenly disappeared; "Thank you, Queen."
The next day, the ladies of the Su family and the ladies of Murong Mansion entered the palace to meet together.
It is common for Mrs. Su to enter the palace, and it is the first time for Mrs. Murong to enter the palace to see her daughter, and she is so excited that she almost didn't sleep all night. Early this morning, apply a thick layer of fat powder to cover up the blue shadow under the eyes.
After entering the palace, I first went to the Jiaofang Hall to meet Queen Su.
The two princes and concubines were by Queen Su's side.
After Madam Murong saluted and got up, she quickly looked at Murong Yan.
Murong Yan was dressed very delicately today, with fat powder on her face, and she was bright and radiant. However, in the eyes of her mother, the thinness and haggard can be seen at a glance.
Mrs. Murong's heart was sour, and she didn't dare to show a single star on her face. Respectfully accompanied Queen Su to gossip, waited for a long time, and finally waited for the opportunity to be alone with her daughter.
As soon as the door closed, Murong Yan threw herself into Mrs. Murong's arms, and her voice choked: "Mother, you finally came to see me."
Mrs. Murong's eyes turned red: "I hand over a post to the palace every month, and the queen mother has never summoned me. I've been thinking about you all day, and what can I do?"
The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried.
After the excitement calmed down a little, Madam Murong couldn't wait to ask, "Yan'er, tell me honestly, did the prince really never enter your bedroom?"
Murong Yan endured her shame and nodded.
Madam Murong gasped: "Then you are still in perfect shape?"
Murong Yan was about to cry again.
Mrs. Murong was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, she gritted her teeth, and took off the gorgeous golden hairpin on her head.
There was a huge Dongzhu on the golden hairpin, but it was empty in the middle, and it was twisted and moved, revealing a small pill.
