It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 470

But this time the queen mother said, "Thinking that I have been in the palace for decades, I have never seen many old An and Shu people, so I might as well take advantage of this time to catch up on the old days."

Concubine Shu was startled, but quickly calmed down. The appearance of the emperor and the empress dowager had been torn apart, and now the empress dowager would not just sit behind the scenes so willingly.

"Then I'll tell the Empress what you mean?" Concubine Shu said gloatingly.

The queen mother shook her head, "It's still early, the queen has such a temper, she will definitely come to ask at that time, then I will be in Zhihui and she will be fine, and your majesty's side... has been resting in Lingxi Palace all this time?"

Concubine Shu's complexion darkened, and she said, "I haven't moved anywhere for half a month. I really have to doubt whether this Concubine Zhen is the reincarnation of a vixen as others said." When it came to the harem, the other concubines had no way out, and the rumor that she was a vixen was brought out again, and rumors spread in the harem.

If concubine Shu said such things in the past, the queen mother would definitely scold her, but this time the queen mother did not speak, but turned the beads, and said in an old-fashioned way, "Hmph, their old Xing family has the seeds of infatuation. The emperor really I really like this Concubine Zhen very much, but how many people can withstand the passage of time? There was only one Empress Xiaoxian back then." Everyone knows that apart from one empress Xiaoxian, the Daqi Harem once favored Not to mention the crown harem, he has dominated Emperor Qi Qing for his whole life, and he can be regarded as a figure that all the women in the entire harem envy.

Concubine Shu felt very relieved when she heard this, and said, "Next year is the draft, there must be many beautiful girls this time, right?"

The queen mother glanced at Concubine Shu, her eyes were a little cold, and Concubine Shu froze when she saw it. The queen mother said indifferently, "What do you know? Now it is time for your Majesty and Concubine Zhen to mix oil with honey, and she is just born again. After becoming a prince, in the prime of life, a woman is at her most beautiful, so how can a newcomer be more beautiful than her?"

Concubine Shu was no longer willing to hide her jealousy for Concubine Zhen, and said, "Then what does Auntie mean?"

"What's the rush?" The queen mother said in a calm manner, as if she had been thinking about it for a long time, and said, "We will just wait until the right time comes."

"How long will it take then?"

"From the moment a woman enters the palace, what is innumerable is time. Waiting for the emperor's favor, waiting for the prince to be conceived, waiting for the child to grow up, and those who can't wait are sent to the cold palace. Those who are willing to wait, and those who are willing to wait, naturally They are all winners in the end." The Empress Dowager said with a bit of sadness in her tone, "Time is our greatest weapon."

Concubine Shu always feels that the queen mother is not such a person who just sits and waits to die, but since she messed up the matter of the eldest prince last time, the queen mother seems very disappointed in her, and she doesn't say many things to her. To put it bluntly, if she asks the truth out of disbelief, she will naturally dissatisfy the queen mother, so she dare not.

It's just that she was still not reconciled, and said, "Then let Concubine Zhen take care of the eldest prince?"

The Empress Dowager glared at Concubine Shu, seeing her frightened, she hurriedly lowered her head, snorted, and said, "I'm so impatient, you treat her as a cheap son so easy to raise? You'll know in a few days."

"Aunt said?"

The queen mother took a sip of tea, hummed, and then refused to speak again.
