Chapter 439

It was such a happy scene, but Chu Jin could vaguely hear someone sobbing.

Xuan Ping and Xiao Xiao surrounded the imperial concubine and tried to persuade her non-stop. She wept until she was in tears, sobbing under her nose, and bowed her head without saying a word.

It didn't look like weeping with joy.

"Mother Concubine, why are you crying on such a happy day?" Xuan Ping took the handkerchief from Xiaoxiao and wiped away the tears for the imperial concubine.

Xiaoxiao lightly rubbed the back of the imperial concubine to straighten out her pent up anger.

As juniors, Xuan Jue and Chu Jin inevitably had to ask each other why the imperial concubine was suddenly sad.

Only Empress Dowager Zhang sat firmly in her seat, staring at the singing and dancing performance with joy, applauding from time to time, causing everyone to be full of embarrassment.

The imperial concubine refused to say why she was sad, she pursed her lips, wiped away her tears, and glared at Empress Dowager Zhang with a bit of hatred in her eyes.

She stopped crying, and she didn't want Queen Mother Zhang to have any reason to laugh at herself.

However, at this moment, Empress Dowager Zhang spoke, "Xiaoxiao, your childbirth will be at least three months and at most four months. Is everything in the Palace properly arranged?"

Xuan Ting answered before Xiaoxiao: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, everything has been prepared. The mother-in-law and Mrs. Wen have made arrangements early in the morning, and they are the most experienced in speaking from ten miles and eight villages. There will be no problems."

"Reassuring? How can the Ai family feel at ease?" Queen Mother Zhang frowned and shook her head, "Xi Yuan only has a daughter like Xiaoxiao, and the Ai family only has a niece like Xiaoxiao. Women who give birth to children always walk through the gate of hell. How can the Ai family Reason for not worrying? Xiaoxiao’s mother-in-law has been suffering from the cold for many years, and the disease is the most chilly, and Zhoucheng is a place of bitter cold, and she has to take care of Xiaoxiao’s younger brother as a woman. If it weren’t for these things, The Ai family really wants her to go to Zhoucheng to take care of Xiaoxiao."

"Oh, aunt, why is it so troublesome?" Xiaoxiao waved her chubby hands at Empress Dowager Zhang, "Everything will be arranged properly on April [-]th, so you don't have to worry about it."

"You speak lightly. You have never given birth to a child. What do you know? The Fourth Prince is a big man, no matter how careful he is in taking care of you, there will always be omissions. How can a man's mind be as careful as a woman's? Those people What kind of stable woman, confinement mother is not like a person who has been out of the palace and has worked in the palace for several lifetimes. She knows the basics. Which of them is wrong and hurts you half a bit. How can you make the Ai family face after a hundred years? Going to be a trainee?"

Empress Dowager Zhang is right to care, but it would be embarrassing to care too much.

Xiaoxiao is not her own daughter, but her niece.Now that she is married to Xuan Ping, the imperial concubine is her mother-in-law, the grandmother of the child in her belly.It is really inappropriate for Queen Mother Zhang to say so many words about "surpassing the ancestors".

Xuan Jue couldn't help but wanted to remind Empress Dowager Zhang a few words, but Chu Jin saw through his thoughts, pulled his arm and gave him a wink, shaking his head slightly to signal him not to interrupt.

Seeing Chu Jin smiling for no reason, Xuan Jue still felt puzzled.

But it is always women who know women best.

Chu Jinfang stopped Xuan Jue, and then, Queen Mother Zhang sighed, and said sharply to the imperial concubine: "Xiaoxiao is your daughter-in-law, you are a mother-in-law who will take care of her personally and give your son a long line of heirs, that's you!" Now she is short of someone who can take good care of her, so when the Four Kings and Xiaoxiao stay in the palace for two days and return to Zhoucheng, you can go with them." She said with a look on her face. Tsunderely added, "You are also an eyesore when Ai's house in the palace looks at you, it's better not to see you, it will make you feel better."

The imperial concubine was the late emperor's concubine, and after her death she was to be buried with the late emperor in the main concubine's tomb next to the emperor's mausoleum.

Empress Dowager Zhang allowed the imperial concubine to leave the palace like this, which is not only unreasonable, but also disrespecting the late emperor.

Even if the imperial concubine is a fool, she can see that the empress dowager Zhang is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. On the surface, she drives herself out of the palace, but in fact she is helping herself.

She stayed alone in the palace, but she had a son but couldn't see her. She faced the ice wall and cold couch day after day. No matter how rich her life was, what hope did she have?

Empress Dowager Zhang's willingness to let her leave the palace was really beyond her expectations.

Xuan Ping and Xiao Xiao stood up and thanked Empress Dowager Zhang for her kindness, only the imperial concubine was still sitting there in a daze.

Enemies for so many years, fighting for so many years, resenting for so many years, is she really so generous and doesn't hate herself?

The imperial concubine recalled all the things in the past, and couldn't help being suspicious, "What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean? What do you mean by Aijia?" Empress Dowager Zhang rolled her eyes at the imperial concubine, and said angrily, "Aijia thinks you are an eyesore, and wants to find a chance to expel you from the palace, don't you understand? You stay in the palace, and when you go back to be buried with the late emperor, don’t you want to fight with the Ai family from the world to the underworld? You have the leisure and elegance, but the Ai family doesn’t have the time.”

These words were obviously ridiculed on the face of the imperial concubine, but she couldn't get angry at all.

She picked up the wine cup and staggered to the Empress Dowager Zhang to meet her.

No more words, just raised his head and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.

Queen Mother Zhang didn't even look at her, but she drank the wine.

The banquet continued, and the music scene became more prosperous just now.

When serving the dishes for Empress Dowager Zhang, Qingzhu whispered in her ear with a smile: "The Empress Dowager wants to fulfill the imperial concubine, so that when she dies, she can be with her son and enjoy the family happiness."

Empress Dowager Zhang picked up a chopstick of thin fish meat and said happily after it melted in the mouth: "Today's fish meat is good, reward it."

She would never admit that she was doing it for the benefit of the imperial concubine. After fighting for a lifetime, both of them were unwilling to bow their heads.

But if you don't bow your head, does that mean you want to bring this hatred into the coffin?
Empress Dowager Zhang has always seen things clearly, and practicing Buddhism for so many years has already washed away her restless heart.

How hard is it to make a man hate himself all his life?

The difficult thing is to make the person who once hated him remember his own kindness until his death.

The grievances and grievances between her and the imperial concubine should be settled from the day Xiaoxiao married Xuan Fing.

Chu Jin peeked at Queen Mother Zhang's expression, she was smiling all the time, shallow and indifferent, as if she had gotten something joyful.

So while pushing cups and changing cups, she whispered to Xuan Jue, "The Empress Dowager's mouth is harder than the tip of a knife, but her heart is soft like cotton."

Xuan Jue looked at her affectionately, "So does Jin'er."

On this day, brothers Xuan Ping and Xuan Jue hadn't met each other for a long time, taking advantage of the joy of the New Year's Eve, they made an appointment to play chess for one night, and the winner was determined to be decided.

Xiaoxiao snoozes during pregnancy and doesn't have the time to spend with Xuan Bin, so Chu Jin brings her back to Fengluan Palace.Also known as the palace man, he cleaned up Zhaochun Palace overnight, and used it as a temporary residence for Xuan Ting and Xiao Xiao to stay in the palace for the past two days.
