Chapter 121 The Old Concubine Returns to Beijing

The incident passed quickly and did not cause any commotion.

That day, Mu Qingqing saw Manman and her cousin shopping.

Suddenly, I heard the voice of the yamen runners chasing people away, "Quickly get out of the way, be careful not to bump into the nobleman."

The people all moved to the side and even entered the shops.

Mu Qingqing and the other two stood in the crowd. The surroundings gradually became quiet. Suddenly, a group of people came slowly from the direction of the city gate.

In the middle is a carriage, which is solemn and dignified, and has intricate patterns carved on it.

All around were soldiers with solemn expressions, watching the training proceed at a rapid pace.

Of course, there were white gauze curtains on the windows of the carriage, which fluttered in the wind from time to time.

When it reached Mu Qingqing's front, the gauze curtain suddenly fluttered up, revealing a white-haired and kind face. At this moment, she was closing her eyes to rest.

"How dare you not kneel down and kowtow when you see the old concubine's sedan chair?"

The people around were frightened by the scene and immediately knelt down.

In order not to appear abrupt, Mu Qingqing and the other two also knelt down.

As the carriage slowly passed by, she seemed to see the figure of a young girl.

The girl was also sitting in the carriage. She didn't know who the other person was, but she was in the same carriage with the old princess dowager.

Chu Manman pouted, "Really, why did the old concubine come back?"

She didn't like the old concubine. When she was young, she was naughty and the old concubine punished her.

The old concubine hated people who didn’t know the rules the most. They were rigid and required rules and etiquette in everything they did.

It can be said that these princes, princesses and princesses hate this person the most.

My cousin pulled Manman a little, signaling the other party not to talk nonsense, in order to be careful not to be overheard by someone with ulterior motives.

Chu Manman naturally understood, muttered something quietly and then shut up.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the capital, the emperor, the empress, and the princes and princesses who held high positions all knelt on the ground to greet them.

Seeing the carriage from afar, the emperor looked tense. He also didn't like this old concubine. She was obviously not his mother, but he still had to be filial to her. Fortunately, she would not interfere in the affairs of the harem.

The girl in the old dowager's carriage got off first, and then helped the old dowager down.

The emperor and the empress hurried forward to salute, "Your son greets you, mother!"

"Your concubine greets the mother!"

The queen behind him followed suit and saluted.

The old concubine swept her eyes over the people present, especially over the two princes and the princess.

"Why are only the second and fourth brothers here? Where's the third brother?"

When the third prince was mentioned, everyone who knew the inside story fell strangely silent.

The emperor was silent for a while, "Mother, please come to the palace with me first, I will tell you later!"

There were too many people watching outside, and he didn't want the people to know that the Third Prince liked men. In the end, he even got syphilis and died.

In fact, there are many rumors among the people, and some of them are even true stories.

The old concubine said nothing and walked into the palace first.

The girl beside her followed closely, and when she greeted the Emperor and Empress before, she was also very calm.

The emperor was very curious about the girl who suddenly appeared. The girl was very tall, much taller than other women, but very beautiful.

The emperor said to the eunuch behind him, "Go check the origins of the girl next to the old concubine!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone was surprised by the sudden appearance of the girl, especially the old concubine who was so close to her, he couldn't help but think too much.

The old concubine lived in a courtyard second only to the Empress Dowager. There were many flowers in it, and people had been ordered to clean it up long ago. At this time, the old concubine was sitting on a chair, and the girl was massaging her legs. It was not right to say that the girl was a servant, after all, the two were too close.

"Yu'er, get up, you are the princess, let those maids come!"

The old concubine asked the girl to get up with a gentle expression.

The girl smiled softly, "Toffee, I'm fine!"

The old concubine was very patient with the girl, but when she raised her head and looked at His Majesty and the Queen, her expression returned to calm.

"Tell me what happened to the third brother?"

The emperor came back to his senses instantly and told the story of the third prince with a grim expression.

He did not hide anything and told the old concubine the final cause of death of the third son.

The old concubine was so angry that she almost passed out.

The third brother was the most filial to him on weekdays. He had no support from his maternal family and his situation was not good, so the old concubine felt very pity for him.

At this moment, she said in disbelief, "Didn't the third sister give birth to a child? Why is she involved with a man? Is there some conspiracy?"

The emperor shook his head, "I also hope that these are all false, but..."

The emperor was extremely upset after seeing such a scandal. There hadn't been any cases of gay relationships in previous generations.
The old concubine didn't know what to say, but facing the pretext of death, she was not going to make a big fuss.

She mentioned King Han, "By the way, where is King Han? Is he still guarding the border? Is he not married?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "My brother Chen just went to the border. There is an emergency at the border. I don't know how long it will take for him to come back. Although he is not married, he is engaged!"

The old concubine was a little surprised that her son actually agreed to let Prince Han get engaged? The sun rose from the west?
"I think that my brother Chen is old enough, so we should get engaged first. We can't just stay unmarried forever!"

Although he really didn't want Prince Han to get married, he couldn't let the royal family's child be alone for the rest of his life, as the world would criticize him.

The old concubine glanced at Yu'er and saw how obedient she was. She felt a little disgusted with Prince Han's fiancée.

"I wonder which girl the cold prince has chosen?"

If he is not as good as Yu'er, this engagement will definitely be ruined.

"To reply mother, the one chosen is the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Mu Qingqing!"

The old concubine looked choked. The Mu Mansion was a general's mansion, and the two of them were well-matched and seemed to be a good match.

"Let me see her some other day to see what kind of girl she is and whether she is worthy of Han Chen!"

"Yes, concubine."

The old empress dowager was talking to the emperor, while the empress, her daughter and the concubines stood aside obediently, saying nothing.

The old concubine is very difficult to deal with, so don't let her cause trouble for you.

The queen lowered her head and looked obedient, and had keen ears. She listened but did not take it to heart.

The little girl next to me grew into a young girl, her figure gradually matured, and she was now much more quiet than before.

She had met the old concubine when she was a child. She should have called her grandmother, but she could never get close to her.

When she was young, she saw her grandmother scolding people. No matter whether they were her brothers and sisters or maids and servants, as long as they made a mistake, they would definitely be punished.

This left a psychological trauma in the little girl, and she must not lose her composure in front of the Empress Dowager.

The old concubine looked at her daughter-in-law and smiled gently, "Queen, come and sit next to me!"

The queen bowed respectfully, "Thank you, mother."

She walked up to the old dowager and she grabbed her hand.

"Queen, you have worked hard these years. It's a pity for the Crown Prince..."

She sighed quietly, although the prince was not close to her, she saw the handsome young man shining brightly.
