Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 79

When the prince appeared at the gate of Shouyan Palace, the Empress Dowager was sitting in the main hall learning to cut window grilles with the maids beside her, with a relaxed expression and kind eyes.

The eunuch at the door hurriedly communicated, and the queen mother looked over in surprise, and when she noticed Wanxi holding a thick stack of portraits behind the prince, she understood.

She put down the red paper and scissors in her hand, and calmly showed a gentle smile, "What wind brought the prince here to Ai's house?"

What wind?

cloudy wind.

Gu Qi looked at the person who was fanning the ghostly wind between Chu Yan and him, and walked forward, showing a faint smile, "I heard that the Queen Mother is not feeling well, so I wanted to come and see for myself. During this period of time, the court and China are busy with political affairs, and the draft edict was issued only yesterday, so I haven’t been able to pay you my respects in person, so I’m here today to make an apology.”

Plead guilty?Bringing a stack of thick picture scrolls to plead guilty?
I'm afraid it was the one who came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime.

The queen mother really didn't expect that this move would attract the prince, so she smiled and said, "What did the prince say, you are busy with political affairs all day long, and you care about the world, how can you have time to accompany this boring old lady of Aijia? Please forgive me." To put it seriously, if the Ai family really delayed the prince's governance of the country, then he would have to ask the prince for guilt."

She beckoned and asked Gu Qi to sit beside her.

Gu Qi sat down very obediently, looked at her face carefully, and asked with a little concern, "What's wrong with the Queen Mother? Have you had the imperial doctor come to see you? I heard that you are not feeling well today. I was taken aback by sending all the portraits of beautiful women to the princess, but now I am relieved to see it... Those who can cut window grilles and do handicrafts will be fine."

The last sentence seemed to be relieved, but his eyes were very calm, without the slightest worry. Obviously, his inner thoughts were far less pleasant than what he said.

After all, there is no blood relationship, let alone feelings.

The queen mother immediately understood what he meant, he was asking her in a different way, how can someone who can't even review the picture scroll have the strength to sit here.

He smiled immediately, "These days the queen has been careless, and she has lived a leisurely life, and the entire harem has been handed over to Ai's family. But Ai's family is getting old and tired, and they are a little annoyed by these trivial matters. I feel dizzy and bored. This time, since the Crown Princess is here, I will hand over the harem to her sooner or later, so I might as well take off the burden from today and let her take care of things personally... Aijia knows that this is a bit of a problem If it is not in line with the ancestral system, His Highness will not blame Aijia for making his own decisions, will he?"

She looked sincere and sincere, showing that she was really old and powerless about these things.

Gu Qi smiled lightly, "What did the Queen Mother say? You are old, and there are some things you don't like to do. Naturally, you can leave them to the people below."

He calmly took the Pu'er from Qinghe, took a small sip, his movements were beautiful and his posture was elegant, and then he changed the topic, "It's just that the princess is my main palace, and the big wedding is just held now. It's a bit inappropriate to entrust the matter to her, I can't let her be selflessly busy helping me choose a new love once she gets married into the palace? Do you think that's the reason?"

The Queen Mother did not speak.

Gu Qi put the teacup lightly on the wooden table at hand, and continued to say with a dull expression, "You sent this painting over, but what should I ask her to do? It's hard not to be magnanimous and magnanimous to feel sad. It seems to go against my own will, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to do such a hard job. Whether you do good or bad, you have to be honest."

The Queen Mother understands this.

The prince came to her today to ask her about her teacher's crimes. The one who asked her was not the ancestral teacher, and the question was not about the crime of transgressing the rules, but to support the princess.

He thought that the princess would feel bad because of this incident, and she was not a human being inside and out—either she would be a virtuous and generous wife and swallow her teeth; or she would be a petty wife and gain a reputation for jealousy.

So it's time for the husband to inquire about the crime in person.

The Empress Dowager suppressed the emotions in her eyes, smiled and shook her head, with a look of sudden realization, "It's a pity that the family made a mistake, and I just thought that if I hand this matter over to the Crown Princess, it will also let people know her rights and dignity. But I don’t want to just think about her, but ignore her inner feelings.”

In fact, the reason why the Empress Dowager sent all the portraits to Chu Yan was that instead of selecting some beauties to enter the palace herself, it would be better to push this rotten job to her; The matter of the draft was entrusted to her, which caused conflicts between her and the prince.

There are a lot of things going on in this palace, don't think that just because she is a princess, she will definitely be able to ascend to the next position in the future, look, doesn't she need to find some enemies to enter the palace by herself?

As long as she has a prince in her heart, she will respond to it no matter what she does.

If she is a good wife, her heart will suffer; if she is a beautiful wife, her reputation will be bad.

In short, there are no people inside and outside.

The Empress Dowager absolutely does not want the members of the Zhao family to go too smoothly on this road. If Chu Yan becomes the Empress and is favored by the Crown Prince, what if Zhao Ronghua takes this opportunity to become the Empress Dowager?At that time, even if I was the empress dowager, I would definitely have no good fruit to eat.

She still remembered what Zhao Ronghua said to herself who had not yet become the queen mother when Fu Rongzhen came to power.

"The empress promised the concubine's father in the past, saying that she would love the concubine as her own daughter, and help the concubine to rise to the top in this harem and enjoy all the favors. Why did she suddenly change her mind and go to cultivate that mere maid?"

"Ms. Taifei, the concubine was brought into the palace by you. I have always respected you and respected you as my mother. But it was the concubine who brought Rong Zhen out of the Shangshi Bureau, and the concubine who entrusted her to you to take care of her is also the concubine. Now that you take away the concubine and treat it as your confidant, isn't it inappropriate to do so?"

When Zhao Ronghua first entered the palace, Zhao Wu was not as powerful as he is today, he was just a Minister of War, and the Queen Mother was just a concubine with no real power.

She cultivated Zhao Ronghua firstly because the Zhao family behind her was quite powerful, and secondly because she held the handle of Empress Dowager Dou, and wanted to use the favored concubine to gain a position in front of the emperor, so that she could step down step by step in the harem and make a move. Take the queen mother.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ronghua was not a wise master, so she abandoned him and used Rong Zhen, and even broke with Zhao Ronghua, and she got her wish to squeeze out Queen Dowager Dou.

But who would have imagined that today, the person who entered the harem and became the crown princess is actually a member of the Zhao family!
This is a big mistake.

The queen mother had no doubt that once Zhao Ronghua used Zhao Chuyan to regain power, she would be the first to deal with herself.

Today's empress dowager position is not easy to come by, no matter what, she wants to prevent the Zhao family from biting back and snatching her things away.

Gu Qi smiled again, and winked at Wanxi, and Wanxi walked over respectfully holding the scroll, and bent down to present it in front of the two of them.

Gu Qi took the top three pictures and casually showed them all in front of the queen mother, "But since they have all been sent, the princess has also tried her best to choose them for me, let the queen mother see how they are selected? "

The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on those three paintings, and her heart skipped a beat.

Why are they all so delicate and beautiful women?

Zhao Chuyan is really confident, such a person dares to send to the prince.

Immediately nodded and smiled, "The selection of the crown princess is naturally excellent, and all of them are first-class beauties."

"Then if the queen mother is also satisfied, then I'll make up my mind." Gu Qi put the painting back unhurriedly, waved to Wanxi, and Wanxi stood aside again holding the painting , "In a while, I will have someone pick out the words and send them to the official department, and I will have a palace test with the noble daughters of the capital in a few days."

He turned his head to look at the queen mother, and said lightly, "The princess has just got married, and she doesn't understand things in the harem. Even if she wants to be a queen in the future, after all, it will take a while to hone her skills. The queen mother treats her well, and she wants to I also understand that the burden on her shoulders should be handed over to her earlier. It's just that the princess is still young, and many things are only half-knowledgeable. See if she has the ability to share your worries. If not, I will let someone else share it for you, so as to save you from being too tired, after all, your body is the most important thing. "

This was said in a polite and impeccable manner. On the surface, it seemed to be questioning Chu Yan's ability, but in fact it was——

The Queen Mother's heart trembled.

The prince is actually threatening her, implying that if she doesn't want to take care of the harem, he will find someone else to help, but she wants to add trouble to the princess, sorry, the harem will change hands directly.

The queen mother narrowed her eyes slightly, quietly concealing her shock.

She thought that the prince was coerced by Zhao Wu and had to marry the princess, but now it seems that she really fell in love with that woman!

I'm afraid I have to think of other means, a quick solution is the best.

Gu Qi said a few more polite words, asking her to pay attention to rest and so on, and left Shouyan Palace calmly.

The queen mother sat there uncertainly, looking at his tall and straight figure, without saying a word.

Okay, father and son are both alike, they are the best at saying polite words on the surface, but there is a bag of bad water in their stomachs, God knows how many minds they have!

Sure enough, it's useless if it's not your own.

She thought of her son, whom she hadn't heard from for many years, and finally became old, closed her eyes and sighed heavily.

Lao Liu has been away for more than ten years, and there is no news at all. I really forgot about her as a mother.

That's right, he hated the palace and his own identity, so how could he have anything to do with them?

If it weren't for being a royal family, it wouldn't be necessary to ruin everything about the beloved woman; if it wasn't for shouldering a heavy burden, it wouldn't cause that person to fall off the cliff, leaving no bones left.

When she opened her eyes again, the Empress Dowager looked calm and sober again.

Since he didn't even have a son, he had to rely on himself even more.

I have nothing in this life, at least I can still guard this Shouyan Palace, even a powerful person like Queen Dowager Dou stumbles in front of her, are you afraid of the mere juniors of the Zhao family?
Of course, the queen mother made a mistake again, if it was just a beautiful daughter of the Zhao family, it would be fine, even if she was smart, she would not be hotter than her old ginger.

It's a pity that this daughter of the Zhao family is not just smart, the point is——

She is also on the hook, with the blessing of time-traveling skills, and she is shrouded in the aura of her mother!
