Chapter Ninety-Three: Appeasement

He Shaoguang doesn't like to enter the palace, and although she has a decree now, there is generally no concubine or a figure like the queen or the queen mother who asks her to enter the palace to talk, because she has not yet reached the position where they need to come to the palace.

However, the Queen Mother heard that she was sacked by mountain bandits on her way back from the suburbs of Beijing, so she let her enter the palace to talk back and forth to show appeasement.

So He Shaoguang also got up early today to dress up a little, and he was going to enter the palace to "socialize" later.

Since she was frightened by the mountain bandits, she didn't have to look too good today, so she applied the lip grease very lightly, almost nothing, and felt that her spirit was insufficient.

With the experience of the last Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, when I arrived in Yongfu Palace, I found that Qiao Yuping was also in the main hall, sitting on a small stool embroidered with flowers.

The Queen Mother watched from the side and said a few words to her from time to time.

Although Qiao Ping is the niece of the Queen Mother, she is the same generation as the saint. But she is the youngest daughter in the family, so the age difference between her and the saint is almost like father and daughter.

He Shaoguang was sure that if it weren't for this age difference, the Queen Mother would definitely persuade the sage to let Qiao Yuping enter the palace as a concubine......

However, when the sage gave King Qi a marriage, the reason why she didn't choose Qiao Yuping was that her generation was the elder of King Qi, and it was not very good to hear.

The Queen Mother didn't say anything.

But apparently, he doesn't plan to match his niece to any prince.

Qiao Yuping is embroidering a set of four-time screens today.

He Shaoguang never dared to start with this kind of large piece, she only dared to embroider a sachet or a small piece such as wiping her forehead.

"Ah, Second Lady Lu is here."

Qiao Yuping put down the needle and thread, her temperament is now much more lively, and when she sees her acquaintances coming, she no longer cowers, but dares to step forward to greet them.

The workout is still effective.

"This kid, the mourning family hasn't asked you yet, I heard a few days ago that you met a mountain bandit, but where are you hurt?"

The Queen Mother pulled her affectionately, did not let her salute, and checked her up and down to see if she had any injuries.

He Shaoguang: Queen Mother, when did we become so acquainted?

"Let the queen mother bother, the courtiers are not hurt. Thanks to his husband's quick reaction, fortunately, his injuries were not serious. ”

He Shaoguang understated it.

But the Queen Mother obviously didn't believe it, she looked at He Shaoguang's face for a while, and then said angrily:

"You kid still won't tell the truth to the mourners? The mourning family really wants to blame you.

Look, your face is still so bad. Come! Take some medicinal materials to replenish qi and blood from the treasury of the mourning family and give them to Mrs. Lu. ”

Where did He Shaoguang dare to argue, anyway, sooner or later he would be rewarded, so he lowered his eyebrows and accepted it.

Qiao Yuping heard about it now, and his eyes were full of worry.

She hurriedly said, "Second Mrs. Lu is okay, right?" ”

He Shaoguang could see that the worry in Qiao Yuping's eyes was true, this girl was kind and simple-hearted, and she liked it very much.

So he responded to her with a smile: "Naturally, it's okay, otherwise I can still stand here and talk to you?" ”

The Queen Mother saw that Qiao Yuping liked to get along with her, and she was even more satisfied.

The weather is warmer, and the flowers of the Imperial Garden are blooming more and more beautifully under the careful care of craftsmen.

The Queen Mother suddenly wanted to go for a walk in the garden, so she asked Qiao Yuping and He Shaoguang to follow.

I don't know if they were lucky or unlucky.

As soon as she reached a place, the Queen Mother was in high spirits, when she heard a mocking female voice from the corner.

"Princess Zheng is a blessing, in the past, when King Zheng was the eldest prince, there was no movement under his knees, and you were pregnant with ...... when Prince Zheng left."

"You!" When Princess Zheng heard that she deliberately slandered her innocence, she was so angry that she couldn't support herself for a while and fainted.

Previously, the two had already met in the Imperial Garden and had an argument.

At first, Concubine Xiao Shu was careful, but Princess Zheng was angry, and because the other party was a concubine, she didn't dare to return the salute.

Later, I couldn't help but defend myself for a few sentences, and Concubine Xiao Shufei went online, and her speech was even more ugly.

Then there was the one that the three of them heard.

The Queen Mother led them out of the corner.

Concubine Xiao Shu was not very afraid, she was angry with Princess Zheng, anyway, Princess Zheng didn't dare to say anything afterwards.

She didn't say anything, she just chased the wind and said a few words of gossip, and Princess Zheng fainted, which was because of her weak heart.

But when the Queen Mother heard it with her own ears, it was different.

Concubine Xiao Shufei glanced at the Queen Mother with flickering eyes, and pulled out a smile: "The Queen Mother." ”

She is the biological mother of the prince, and the queen mother will not give her no face in front of people, so she nodded lightly.

"Why don't you go to the Imperial Doctor? What do you princesses eat? ”

Mama Ning, who was beside the Queen Mother, stood up and scolded them, but in fact, she secretly warned Concubine Xiao Shu that it was too much.

The little maid beside Princess Zheng quickly got up with tears in her eyes and went to ask for a doctor, and Princess Zheng was just so soft just now, she had always been healthy, and she woke up by herself after a while.

Seeing a large number of people sitting around her, including the Queen Mother, she looked anxious and couldn't help but wonder.

Princess Zheng stood up and wanted to say goodbye, but suddenly she felt a pain in her lower abdomen, and a warm current gushed out, her eyes were black again, and she almost fainted.

"It's going to be born! Fast! Carry someone back to the nearest palace! ”

The Queen Mother is experienced, and Concubine Xiao Shufei has also given birth, so she knows at a glance that she is starting.

The closest was Concubine Yu's Xueyang Palace, she watched in a daze as a large number of people carefully carried Princess Zheng into her palace, and then the Queen Mother who came anxiously asked her if she had a clean palace? Princess Zheng is about to give birth.

Concubine Yu opened her mouth wide, felt indecent, and immediately closed it again.

"Go, the Hanxiang Hall is empty now. Wanhe! You go and lead the way. ”

Concubine Yu hurriedly commanded, asking someone to boil hot water, asking for a doctor, everything had to be prepared.

But she never gave birth to a child...... So she looked at Concubine Xiao with confidence.

Xiao Shufei: ...... I said I don't want her to give birth, okay?

Naturally, so many people are staring, and Concubine Xiao Shu is not easy to interfere with, so she can only help Concubine Yu arrange it together.

When the imperial doctor came, the Wen Po invited by King Zheng's Mansion in the morning also rushed into the palace.

Before King Zheng was notified, only Xiao Yan hurriedly entered the palace in the palace: the concubine gave birth, and she had to guard by the side.

"Yan'er!" Concubine Xiao called out to her.

Xiao Yan turned around and saw that it was her aunt who had always loved her, and she had some bad premonitions.

Princess Zheng's baby...... It's just a few days away.

"Auntie, but you ......" Xiao Yan found a corner where no one was and asked her quietly.

Concubine Xiao shook her head: "What does it have to do with me?" It's her own incompetence! ”

Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to kill again because of herself, not to mention that Princess Zheng was also a poor person.

"I just said a few words, she is going to die or live, I think she can't live at all! In the future, it is better if the child you give birth to in the house is the eldest son. ”

Her heart that she had just put down was beaten by Concubine Xiao's words again, and Xiao Yan said anxiously: "Aunt! I said I didn't want you to do this for me! ”
