Chapter 147: Lan Guifei
The group finally returned to the imperial city, and the queen mother and the concubines waited at the palace gate. This is more than ten days, but the queen mother is in a hurry, the two sons are out, and she really feels bored at home after giving birth, and the daughter-in-law is no better than her own son, not to mention the remaining concubines who accompany her, at best, half a daughter-in-law.
"Queen Mother, son-in-law greets the Queen Mother, how is the Queen Mother recently? Mo Xingyu took Mo Xingchen and two women over to greet the Queen Mother.
"Hurry up, but I think badly of the queen mother, this queen is not in the palace, and it is difficult to find someone to talk to and chat with the mourning family. The queen sank and couldn't help complaining.
Because the queen eats fasting and recites the Buddha, she must go to the queen mother every day to say goodbye, and she also talks about Buddhist scriptures when she has time. Especially the queen is still a stable master, what should be said and what should not be said is just right, the queen mother who coaxes every day is full of joy, this has not seen her son for more than ten days, and even her favorite daughter-in-law has been taken away, the mood is naturally low, fortunately now everyone is back, and the queen mother's face is smiling again.
"Queen mother, Saifang is back, and Saifang has been thinking about her mother for the past few days. He Saifang hurriedly handed Xu Yue'er a look, and then the two of them went over to support the Queen Mother one by one.
The Queen Mother saw the smile on Xu Nuo'er's face stiffened, but she still smiled happily, after all, her two daughters-in-law knew that it was a good thing to honor her. The Queen Mother also knew that Xu Yue'er was a little more peaceful, but she was smart and good-looking, and she was also Prime Minister Xu Cheng's daughter, so she was indeed a good match for Mo Xingchen, and the more she thought about it, the faster the knot in her heart would open.
The concubines on the side were envious, jealous and hateful. Especially Concubine Lan, who was used to being domineering, felt as if she had been thrown into a forgotten corner at this time, and the emperor's eyes did not stay on her body for long, but kept staring at the wooden lump and refused to take half a step.
"Let's go, let's go back to the palace, and the mourning family will be happy to bring you back. The Queen Mother smiled like a spring breeze, and with the support of her two daughters-in-law, she led everyone back.
"Your Majesty, Lan'er greets the emperor!" Lan Guifei, who was unwilling to be a foil, squeezed to the front and bowed to Yingying, like a weak willow supporting the wind.
Only then did Mo Xingyu realize that he seemed to have neglected others these days, and he had never thought about her in his heart, so he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lan Ling'er up.
"Ling'er is very polite, I have brought you a gift, and I will give it to you in a while. Mo Xingyu smiled and said lightly.
"Emperor Xie is still worried about his concubines, and his concubines are always thinking about the emperor. Lan Ling'er said sweetly.
Although the voice was inaudible, the queen and Xu Yue'er still heard it really clearly, this Lan Ling'er is really shameless, so many people can open their hearts and show their love, no wonder the emperor was fascinated by her, this fox's means are really high, the key is that the skin is thick enough, which they can't learn if they want to.
The Queen Mother frowned unhappily, obviously she didn't like Lan Ling'er, a vixen who only knew how to seduce men, but her son liked it, and she couldn't say anything, and her face showed a little disdain.
Soon the group came to the queen mother's bedroom, and everyone stood aside according to the hierarchy of dignity and inferiority, only the queen mother and her two sons sat down steadily. The two daughters-in-law stood beside the Queen Mother on the left and the right, and others looked at them happily.
"Queen, Princess Fu, you all sit down, it's hard enough to bump all the way, it's all a family, and there are not so many rules. Saying that, the Queen Mother ordered someone to watch the seat.
The queen and Xu Yu'er thanked each other, and then dared to sit down next to their respective men.
Lan Guifei took a look, the two women sat down steadily, their own seniority is not low, why let her stand, her heart is even more angry, this old woman is picking her nose and eyes, always looking at her unpleasantly, and when she gains power one day, she has to give her some color.
"Why is Concubine Lan unwell? If you don't feel well, go back first, don't get tired. The Queen Mother glanced at Lan Ling'er with slanted eyes, very impatient.
Lan Ling'er suddenly looked embarrassed when she heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Ling'er is not uncomfortable at all, presumably because she knows that the emperor is back today and got up earlier, so she feels a little tired now." ”
"Since you're tired, go back and rest, you don't have to be here with me. The Queen Mother sneered, she wanted to be on an equal footing with the queen, but she could only think that as long as she was there, she couldn't fulfill her wish.
It's a little tender to play tricks in front of her, but she doesn't know how many corpses she stepped on all the way, and she dared to show her hand in front of her at these two moments, and she didn't know what the emperor liked about her.
"Thank you Queen Mother for your concern, Ling'er is not tired, Ling'er will not be tired when she sees the emperor. Lan Ling'er smiled lightly, wanting her to avoid it first, hum! If she wants to be beautiful, she won't go back, the emperor is here, these concubines are staring at this piece of fat like wolves, so let her go back, how lacking she is.
"Lan'er is tired, I brought you back a mink, and I will order someone to send it to you later, and when the weather turns cold, Ling'er can make a fur coat to keep warm. Mo Xingyu hurriedly accosted.
"Lan'er, thank you, the emperor, the emperor thinks about Ling'er everywhere. Lan Ling'er suddenly looked happy, her waist straightened up, and she felt that her current position in the emperor's heart was irreplaceable.
"You guys will stay here for a while, everyone hasn't been lively for a long time, and today is just the right time to get together as a family. When you are older, you like to be lively, Queen, Princess Fu, I don't know when you will be able to add a grandson to the mourning family, the mourning family is looking forward to the stars and the moon, but I don't see any movement from you. The Queen Mother sighed lightly, feeling that she was still a little regretful, these two couples were very good, but they had no heirs, which disappointed her too much.
The queen and Xu Nuo'er suddenly sighed in their hearts!
Concubine Lan on the side sneered, she must seize the opportunity to give birth to a prince for the emperor in front of the queen, so that her status will be higher than that of the mother and son, and even the queen mother will look down on her at that time, let alone the queen.
Xu Yue'er looked at Lan Ling'er smiling like a villain, and felt unfair for the queen, this Lan Guifei's ambition is really not small, it's not good to be her own concubine, and she wants to replace the queen, and she doesn't look in the mirror to see, with her fox spirit background, can she be the mother of the world?
Xu Nuo'er hurriedly looked at the queen, it turned out that the queen had already noticed Lan Guifei's strange gaze, they had always been incompatible, but the queen had tolerated everywhere before, and now the queen wanted to poke her sharpness, but in front of the queen mother and the emperor, she would not behave too strongly, which would be mistaken for pampering and arrogant.
"Since Concubine Lan is tired, let's sit here, the palace is not tired, you can stand for a while, and by the way, pinch the shoulders of the queen mother. The queen smiled faintly, and there was something in her words.
"The queen mother, this is really tormenting Lan'er, Lan'er doesn't dare to make a mistake in front of you, Lan'er is young, standing for a while is not in the way. Lan Guifei glanced at it, the queen who was tired from the journey and had dark circles under her eyes had a deep meaning.
"Concubine Lan Guifei is really sharp-toothed, but sometimes the health is not as good as age, the emperor and the prince are older than you, but are they all better than you?"
"Yo! Look at what I said, it's not that I don't think about it, the body and bones of the emperor and the Fu King, that is obvious to all, how can we ordinary people compare with them. The handkerchief in Lan Ling'er's hand is about to be wrenched, and her teeth are itching with hatred, this He Saifang is really capable, she has just been favored, and she has raised the queen's shelf.
In the future, I still want to take a handful in front of her, hmph! I want to be beautiful, how easy it is to snatch food from her mouth, she must watch the emperor, firmly tie the emperor's heart, and absolutely not let the queen succeed, otherwise her position will be even more precarious.
She was not treated well by the Queen Mother, and her friendship with other concubines was even more average, and the backers behind her were not very hard, that is, the emperor favored her, otherwise she would not have been able to enter the palace for less than a year, soaring all the way to the queen's throne.
Soon everyone came to the banquet hall, and everyone sat down in order of respect and inferiority. Lan Ling'er happened to be next to the queen, and the queen and Xu Nuo'er were sitting facing each other.
"Queen Mother, this hunt, the emperor has rewarded you with a lot of things, right?" Not long after she sat down, Lan Ling'er came over and asked without words.
"I didn't reward anything, just some daily necessities. The queen didn't bother to talk to her, so she casually said a perfunctory word.
Lan Ling'er was overjoyed, it turned out that she had stayed with the emperor for a few days in vain, and she didn't get any good things, it was better for her to stay in the palace, and the emperor also specially brought her back valuable gifts, so thinking about it, she suddenly felt that her heart was much more balanced, even if she didn't want to be favored, she was still not welcomed, and the favored one stayed in the palace, which could still make him worry.
"Yo! Yes, my sister really doesn't have anything rare to eat and chant Buddha on weekdays, unlike us laymen, so the emperor must not be able to think of anything to give my sister, so I neglected my sister, sister don't go to heart. Lan Ling'er is not afraid of fanning the flames of a big matter.
"Hehe, I'm also a mortal, and I like what mortals like, so I don't like to give things to others, even if others covet them for a long time, I never let go. The queen didn't look at Lan Ling'er directly, smiled faintly, and said quite meaningfully.
