The palace concubine is charming and chaotic: the country is still the same

Chapter 167 The King's Side (5)

But the original fiancée became the queen of Wei, the wife of his good brother.

Perhaps this is really fate. The first time the three met under the bodhi tree, they forged the bond of this life.

Mu Piaoyu wanted to get here, and slowly withdrew her sword, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but it was so desolate.

Suddenly a figure rushed over, stood in front of Mu Piaoyu and lowered his voice, "General, there are people outside the residence asking to see you."

Mu Piaoyu withdrew her thoughts, looked coldly at Butler Su with a dignified expression, and asked, "Who?"

"He calls himself Sujin." Steward Su naturally knew the name Sujin, and he didn't dare to make his own claim, so he came here to report it in person.

"Him?" Mu Piaoyu's face was icy cold, and he said after a while: "Take him in through the back door, don't let anyone notice."

Steward Su said worriedly: "General, are you sure you want to see him? If the emperor finds out about this, I will suspect you."

Mu Piaoyu sneered: "The emperor doubts me for a day or two." After saying that, he put away his sword and stepped into the study room. Butler Su was stunned for a moment before recovering, as if his heart was hit by something. However, he understood something in an instant, and immediately stepped forward to welcome people into the mansion.

The next day, a sudden torrential rain swept away the hot and dry days. The pouring rain still couldn't stop the concubines from coming to pay their respects. The Weiyang Palace was full of joy and excitement.

All the concubines came to pay their respects with a congratulatory gift in their hands. Qiu Bi and Qiu Yao went back and forth several times to put away all the congratulatory gifts. The momentum is very heavy.

Dudu Mu Yanran kept a cold face from the beginning to the end. In the past, Xia Lanyue was a maidservant beside her, but now she has become the master of the harem, so she couldn't help but feel joyful in her heart, and couldn't pile up falsehoods. laugh.

On the contrary, after Concubine Zheng Duan came out of the cold palace, her arrogant temperament has been restrained a lot. She tried her best to please Xia Lanyue who made things difficult at the beginning, fearing that if she was unhappy, she would be confined in the palace again.

"Empress, Jianjia Palace is here to report that the four princes have suddenly caught wind and cold, so it is inconvenient for Concubine Jing to come to pay her respects today." The chief eunuch of Weiyang Palace once said to report.

After hearing this, Xia Lanyue smiled: "Does the fourth prince have no nanny, and needs Concubine Jing to take care of her personally?"

Zeng Yan immediately understood, and said: "This servant is going to invite the imperial concubine."

After Zeng Yan withdrew, Jiang Cairen snorted immediately: "Ever since the noble concubine was released from the Lanting Water Pavilion, the emperor has never seen her once. Does she still think of herself as the noble concubine who was so honored and favored all over her body today? This is the first time all the concubines greeted the empress, but she made an excuse not to come, and according to the concubines, she should be sent back to Lanting Waterside Pavilion."

Rong Xiuyi added: "That is, if the emperor did not love the empress and the crown prince, and amnesty the whole world, he would have murdered the former empress. How could Concubine Jing get out of this Lanting Water Pavilion? She should be grateful to Dade for coming to pay his respects."

Looking at the words of Jiang Cairen and Rong Xiuyi, Xia Lanyue recalled how they flattered Concubine Jing when she was in glory, but now they are making trouble. She only feels that the harem is cold and warm, that's all.

Concubine Zheng Duan got up when she heard this, and knelt down in front of Xia Lanyue. Her eyes were sad and she said: "Empress, Rong Xiuyi is right. If the emperor did not love you and the crown prince and amnesty the world, the concubine is still being punished. Confinement in the palace is worse than death, you are like the concubine's reborn parents, your kindness will never be forgotten in this lifetime."

Seeing Concubine Zheng Duan bursting into tears after recovering, Xia Lanyue was a little surprised. If it was an act, she did perform well.
