Demon King and Concubine

Chapter 126
"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

The Queen Mother immediately set her eyes on Duanmu Jing behind the old princess, and said with a smile: "This is Xiao Jing, right? After returning to Beijing for many days, this is the first time Ai's family has seen her. When I was young, I was the most outstanding among a group of children of the same age. Yes, now that he has grown up, he is indeed a personable and personable person, quite similar to Ah Zheng's demeanor back then, it seems that he is more like your mother."

The old princess said beside her: "Isn't it? These two children are more like their mothers."

The queen mother turned her head to look at Duanmutian again, and she couldn't help but look at the bright birthmark on her face, as if she couldn't bear to see it, but then she smiled and said: "The Ai family also heard that Tiantian was killed. The Ai family was heartbroken to commit such a crime. But it happened to meet the third prince, it was a destiny, and it was destined to meet thousands of miles away, Tian Tian is now considered the daughter-in-law of the royal family."

Following the empress dowager's words, the atmosphere in Yanxi Palace suddenly changed subtly.

Inside the screen behind the Queen Mother, there are delicate figures, those are the young ladies who are yet to marry, and there are whispers of discussions coming from there, which cannot be heard clearly, but one can tell what they are discussing.

In the side hall next to it, there are young masters gathered, poking their heads and looking in this direction, with different expressions, and they seem to be discussing something.

The old concubine's face was as usual, but her eyes sank in vain. At this moment, there was another communication sound from outside: "The third highness is here!"

Everyone in the Palace of Yanxi Palace suddenly turned their heads with a "swish" and their eyes fell on the light purple figure approaching the door with graceful strides.

He immediately set his sights on Duanmutian, and then he seemed to sense the abnormal atmosphere in the hall. He raised his brows slightly, walked in with a charming smile, saluted the queen mother above, and said, "To the emperor's grandmother." Please."

The queen mother still smiled amiably, and said: "It's a coincidence that you came, just as Tian Tian also arrived, and you appeared right after."

"Actually, this king really came here with Tiantian, but he was delayed on the way just now, so he was a step late."

"..."

The atmosphere in Yanxi Palace suddenly became more and more strange.

The graceful woman in the big red phoenix robe sitting next to the Queen Mother chuckled, and said: "I have heard some rumors outside, so I thought they were just rumors and unreliable. Seeing what the Third Prince said now, It seems that he really likes Princess Tian, ​​which makes me very pleased."

"Why did the queen mother think that the king didn't really like Tiantian? The king thought that a noble person like the queen mother would be like those ordinary people who only saw the superficial things and thought that the king would not like it." Go to Tiantian."

Third Highness, you came to the palace today to find trouble, right?

The queen's face couldn't help being a little stiff, and she glanced sideways at Concubine De, who was sitting beside her very quietly, and suddenly smiled, and said, "I just thought that the third prince, you have always been honest with women, and you have done more than one ruthless thing." , I didn’t even take a second look at our famous Miss Youxiangfu in the capital, but I really didn’t expect you to finally meet a girl you really like, the queen mother is happy for you.”

These words were high-sounding, but Concubine De's face finally changed slightly, and she raised her head to look at Duanmu Tian coldly.

Duanmu Tian noticed the hostility coming from Concubine De, he couldn't help frowning his eyebrows slightly, his eyes were slightly condensed, and then he looked over with the same coldness.

Even though she was Jun Xiuran's biological mother, she just couldn't like this woman, or even respect her.

So facing her hostility at this moment, Duanmu Tian can return the same indifference to her without hesitation.

A sharp light flashed in Concubine De's eyes, and after seeing the indifference of Jun Xiuran next to her, she slowly retracted it, and continued to drink tea quietly with her head down, but her finger joints holding the teacup faintly twitched. White.

The queen glanced at Concubine De again, pursed her lips and smiled as if she was satisfied with what she saw, and said nothing more.

But I heard Jun Xiuran Shi Shiran say: "My mother misunderstood, this king just regards Mengxuan as a younger sister, and I don't want her to be misunderstood so I can avoid it. After all, she is also the daughter of the right minister's mansion Miss, she has always been well-known, gentle and elegant, she is a well-known lady in the capital, and she is at the age of the young girl Huaichun, and I believe that she will definitely not be able to do something like Miss Miao San's self-recommendation."

"you……"

The queen's face suddenly became gloomy, and that Miss San Miao was the third miss of Dr. Yu Shi's family who had recommended her pillow mat to Jun Xiuran but was thrown out of the door naked, and she was also the queen's niece.

After that incident, Miss San Miao, the entire Imperial Palace, and even the empress were involved and became the laughing stock of the capital, and it took a long time to calm down.

Of course, Jun Xiuran said this absolutely not because he didn't want to see his concubine being suppressed and wanted to vent his anger on her, but because he simply didn't want to see the empress proud.

The Empress Dowager sat there watching the little fight in front of her, silently, but silently glanced at Duanmu Tian again, vaguely astonished, surprised by the gentleman whose eyes were always higher than women's. Xiuran actually changed his attitude towards her.

Afterwards, she smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Okay, okay, why are you talking like you're about to quarrel? You all take a break and sit down beside me."

A palace lady came over and led Duanmu Tian into the back of the screen, while Duanmu Jing and the others entered the side hall, where the young masters gathered.

Behind the screen, Yingying Yanyan's room of delicate flowers was silent for a moment when Duanmu Tian entered, and then they all saluted her: "I have seen Princess Tian!"

After all, her status is there. The princess of Duanmu Palace is extremely noble, and she is slightly lower than the princesses of the royal family. Even those princesses who are not favored have to curry favor with her.

However, their salutes were salutes, but their expressions were different, some were genuinely respectful, but most of them lowered their heads, as if they couldn't bear to look at her more.

There was a delicate cold snort from behind, Duanmutian looked up, and saw a twelve or thirteen year old girl sitting on a chair, looking at her coldly.

Vaguely, looking at her felt a little familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere.

A soft voice came into her ears: "The princess has not been back to Beijing for a long time, and it is the first time to attend such a gathering, so she must not know most of the people here? This is the sixth princess."

Six princesses?
No wonder it looks familiar, it turned out to be the daughter of the Concubine De, looking at her appearance, she was somewhat similar to the Concubine De, even the cold-eyed expression was similar.

Duanmu calmed down and returned the salute to the ladies. He smiled lightly and said indifferently: "Princesses and ladies are very polite. I can't tell you who you are when we meet for the first time. If there is any impoliteness, please forgive me."
