Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 16
As for the entanglement in this, it is related to the ancestor Dalin who just passed away.Da Lin is Lin's aunt, and she was the one who manipulated Lin into marrying the elder.In this paragraph, Nanny Han was a little silent, and Qiu Mingyue understood.Dare to feel that the marriage between her mother and the elder was destroyed by the dead ancestor.No wonder, seeing how indifferent and displeased the Elder Master is towards Lin, how could she be allowed to preside over Zhongfu?It turned out that it was the old ancestor who gave Lin the authority during his lifetime.The ancestors didn't like their daughter-in-law, Jia. After Jia's marriage, Da Lin always held the power and refused to hand it over. Later, he handed it over to his natal niece and granddaughter, and he also had a lot of preference for Lin, which led to Lin Shi is so rampant and arrogant.

As for why the ancestor didn't like the Jia family, Nanny Han didn't say anything.Qiu Mingyue also knew that there must be some secrets that the old lady didn't want to be known.As a junior, she really shouldn't probe the privacy of her elders, so she didn't care too much.

Speaking of it this way, it's no wonder that the Elder Master has a deep affection for Shen Shi.

Thinking of the day when the eldest lady heard that the old matriarch had invited a matchmaker to the mansion to choose a girl for her mother and son, her face was so dark that it could be compared to the bottom of the pot.

"Fifth sister."

A clear and pleasant voice came, and Qiu Mingyue was stunned for a while, then raised her eyes, and saw Qiu Mingyue in a crescent white robe, with a gentle smile on her face, walking slowly.

"Why are you staying here alone, where is your maid?" Qiu Mingxuan looked around, but asked Qingya when he didn't see her maid.

Qiu Mingyue quickly concealed her momentary emotional change and took a step back.

"Let's have nothing to do, just walk around."

Qiu Mingxuan saw her indifferent and distant manner, his eyes dimmed, and he spoke suddenly.

"Fifth Sister hates me?"

Qiu Mingyue was startled, raised her head, and met his slightly sad eyes, as if touched by something in her heart, she blurted out subconsciously.

"No."

"Then why do you hide when you see me?" Qiu Mingxuan took a step forward, and Qiu Mingyue immediately took a step back.

"Brother misunderstood." She had a slight smile on her face, "Men and women are different. Although you and I are brothers and sisters, we must not forget the etiquette."

Qiu Mingxuan was silent, Qiu Mingyue looked around and saw a maid walking not far away, she lowered her head.

"Brother, I have something else to do, so I'm going back to my room first." She left without even seeing Qiu Mingxuan's disappointed face for a moment.

Looking at Qiu Mingyue's anxious back, Qiu Mingxuan frowned, always feeling that this fifth sister gave him a strange feeling, like relatives but not relatives, seeming far away.

Just as he was thinking, there was already a servant girl rushing over there.

"Young master, so you are here, Madam is here, I want you to go back quickly."

Qiu Mingxuan came back to his senses, and said lightly: "Understood." Qiu Mingyue hurried back to her Xueyue Pavilion, waved away a few maids, walked into the inner room, sat on the red sandalwood beauty couch, stared at the peach blossom outside the window in a daze .The enchanting peach color, like a cloud of smoke, brought her memory to another world... Thinking about it, her eyes were once again covered with a layer of white mist, making it difficult to see the expression in her eyes clearly.

The imperial palace, in the Golden Phoenix Palace.The huge hall is shrouded in bright light, and the polished and smooth marble floor is shining brightly.On the imperial concubine's couch of red sandalwood with folded branches and plum blossoms, a luxurious lady lay lazily reclining, half-closed her eyes and feigned sleep.The golden-red phoenix robe is embroidered with gold thread to embroider a flying phoenix, and the night pearl as large as a moon plate on the top of the hall shrouds it, pouring out a mottled light and shadow densely packed with silk threads.

After a while, the footsteps of court ladies sounded.

"Queen, the medicine is ready."

The familiar and pungent smell of medicine made the queen mother frowned. She opened her eyes, looked at the medicine bowl in the maid's hand, and sighed softly.

"Drinking medicine every day, when will you be tall." She seemed to be complaining, but the maid lowered her head after hearing this, "The queen mother has a long life, and she will recover soon."

The queen mother looked up at her and said nothing.Only then did the palace maid cautiously walk forward, half kneeling on the ground, and waited for her to drink the medicine.Then took a snow-white silk handkerchief and wiped off the stains on her lips.At this time, there was a high-pitched report from outside the door.

"The Empress is here."

The maid paused, and looked at the Empress Dowager's face with a pale face.The queen mother only waved her hand lightly, signaling her to go down.

Looking up, a graceful and luxurious woman walked in amidst the flickering light.Dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe, her facial features are gorgeous and calm, especially the upturned eye corners, making people know that she must be a shrewd and profound woman at first sight.A noble phoenix bun is combed on the head, and twelve gold phoenix hairpins are inserted to represent the noble status of the empress.The gold hairpin was bright and shining, and as she got closer and closer, there was a pleasant sound of colliding between her hair and pearls, which was especially clear and piercing in this silent hall.

The Empress Dowager's eyes understood for a moment.

The queen walked up to her and saluted the queen mother respectfully.

"The concubine gave my mother my respect."

The queen mother glanced at the two court ladies kneeling behind her, and waved lazily: "Get up."

"Thank you, Empress." The queen got up, looked at the medicine bowl on the small ebony table calmly, then walked to the bed very naturally, and looked at the queen mother with some concern in her tone.

"The Empress Dowager's complexion has improved a lot recently." She sat on the small bed next to her, took a beauty hammer and patted the Empress Dowager's back very considerately.

Seeing that she waved her servants back, the queen mother slightly raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Well, all the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital are superb in medical skills. The Ai family really feels much better recently."

The movements of the queen's hands were stiff for a moment, and then she smiled gently: "The queen mother's phoenix body is safe, and the concubines are also happy in their hearts."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes with some enjoyment, "Is there something wrong with the Queen coming to see Aijia so late?"

The queen paused, thought for a moment and said: "Mother, Huan'er is already this year, it's time to marry the concubine."

"Well," the queen mother didn't open her eyes, "Next month, Princess Zhennan will hold a flower viewing banquet in the palace on the [-]th, and she will choose a concubine for the son of Prince Zhennan. The boss has always had a good relationship with that child, so let him go, maybe I can meet a suitable candidate." She thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, that child, Li'er, must be sixteen." She sighed, but the queen's face changed slightly.Holding the hand of the beauty's hammer, he slightly exerted force, his pupils were dark and deep.

She forced a smile, "Prince Rong's son has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, handsome and elegant, but it's a pity..." She said with a gloomy expression, as if extremely sad.

The queen mother lowered her eyes, and a trace of deep pain flashed in her eyes.

After a while, she waved her hand wearily.

"Destiny failed, Li'er is destined to have such a catastrophe." Although her tone was calm, it was a little colder.She closed her eyes, remained silent for a while, and then said a little tiredly: "Since it has happened for many years, don't mention it again."
