cook maid concubine

Chapter 218 Rejected
With the uproar of rumors about helping the prince to choose a concubine in Prince An's mansion, there was another scene at the other end of the palace.As soon as Mrs. Jun entered the palace, she was led into the Queen Mother's Palace.The queen mother was sympathetic to her physical discomfort, and specially sent her own Luanjia to wait for her at the gate of the palace, which was considered to be enough face.

The luan sedan chair carried Mrs. Jun into the Shou'an Palace where the Empress Dowager lived. As soon as she got off the sedan chair, she was invited into the palace by the palace staff.

In the Shouan Palace, the Empress Dowager is leaning on the soft couch with her eyes closed. The birthday banquet was held in the palace yesterday. The old lady was so happy that she went to bed very late. She was woken up in the middle of the night because Princess Eleven suddenly fell ill, and she spent most of the night before returning Bed rest.I was thinking about talking to Mrs. Jun, so I got up after lying down for less than an hour.This can also seem a little mentally deficient.

The palace man came in to pass the message, the queen mother sat up straight, took the face towel handed by the maid, and after cleaning her face, she saw Mrs. Jun walking in accompanied by the maid.

As soon as Mrs. Jun entered the palace, she greeted the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager hurriedly motioned to the maids beside her to help her, and ordered others to move out the padded chair specially prepared for her. Seeing Mrs. Jun sitting down on the chair, she slowly said: " I haven't seen Huang Jie for a long time, how is Huang Jie doing these days? I also thought that we haven't talked for a long time, so I specially invited Huang Jie into the palace to have a sit-down, and I hope Huang Jie won't think I'm presumptuous."

Mrs. Jun hurriedly said: "The Empress Dowager is right. The courtiers should always go to the palace to greet the Empress Dowager. It's just that people are old and their bodies are useless. After going out for a long time, their bodies become tired. As time goes on, they become more and more tired. I don’t want to move anymore. The Empress Dowager didn’t come to the palace to celebrate your birthday yesterday, so the Empress Dowager should not be offended.”

The queen mother smiled lightly and said: "Why? You and my old sisters don't care about these things. If you are not in good health, you should be raised in the mansion, but when you are in better spirits, you should go to the yard more. Otherwise, this body will become more and more lazy."

Mrs. Jun smiled and said, "What the Empress Dowager said is true."

The queen mother then said: "It's rare for you to come into the palace. Why don't I call the imperial doctor and ask them to take the pulse for you? It just so happens that I got a lot of good medicinal materials here yesterday, including millennium ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. Let's see what is right." Your body is healthy, take some back with you when you go."

Mrs. Jun refused and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Empress Dowager. My wife has seen the imperial physicians at home before, so there is no need to trouble the imperial physicians to come over. As for those medicinal materials, they are all used by others to honor the empress dowager. The empress dowager still keeps them for herself. Use it, how can it be wasted on the minister's wife."

The Empress Dowager said: "What a waste, between you and my old sisters, where is the need to be so far away? Besides, you are strong, and you can often come to the palace to talk with me. Now that I am older, I miss you more and more." When we were young, we really wanted to find someone to talk about what happened to us back then."

The old lady Jun said: "Brother Jin has a heart. He helped me find a lot of prescriptions a while ago, and specially helped me find a cook who made medicinal meals. Now my body is much more refreshed than before. If the wife is bothering you, the minister's wife will come and walk around the palace more often in the future."

"That would be the best. I don't have to worry about no one talking." The queen mother said with a smile, and seeing Mrs. Jun taking the initiative to turn the topic to Ji Nanjin, she said again: "Brother Jin is a good person. Not to mention Jun, he is intelligent, prudent and filial, he is the most outstanding among the children of the younger generation, the emperor and I like that child very much."

Mrs. Jun said with a smile: "That's because the empress dowager and the emperor love him so much. Although the child is good, but he has too many ideas. Let's take his marriage as an example. His mother and concubine and I have a lot to worry about. But the child just wasn't sure. He said he was looking for someone with a predestined relationship."

The purpose of the Empress Dowager asking her to enter the palace today was to discuss the marriage between Ji Nanjin and Princess Eleven. Hearing him take the initiative to mention it, she said, "It's normal for a child to have his own ideas when he grows up, but this important matter of marriage must follow the ancient law. , it is better to obey the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.”

Mrs. Jun echoed: "That's not true, so his mother and concubine and I plan to hold a blind date banquet for him in the form of a flower viewing banquet. This time, no matter what, we can't let him go anymore. My body is now Every day is not as good as every day, and it is a day to last, and I still think that my precious great-grandson will be born in my lifetime."

"Really? Then I wonder if Miss Huang has someone she likes?" the queen mother asked tentatively.

Mrs. Jun said: "Yes, there is. His mother and concubine and I are optimistic about the eldest daughter of the Wang family. The Wang family is the head of the family. There is nothing to say about the cultivation of the girl who is taught. The child also agreed to end the flower viewing feast." Afterwards, if there is no suitable candidate, I will let his mother and concubine decide to go to the Wang family to propose marriage."

Originally, the queen mother just asked casually, so as to take the opportunity to mention the matter between him and the eleventh princess. Unexpectedly, they really thought about the candidate, and for a while, what they wanted to say got stuck in their throats.When she was about to look for another opportunity to speak, she heard Mrs. Jun say again: "After all, getting married is a lifetime thing. His mother and concubine and I also hope that he can find someone he likes and don't want to force him too much. But the Ji family Three generations of single heirs, with a child like him, procrastination is not an option. Besides, the wife he marries will be given by the master in the future. Virtue and temperament are very important. The concubine can't rest assured for a day."

The Empress Dowager was completely speechless at the moment. The Eleventh Princess came from the palace, needless to say about her upbringing, but her temperament was indeed too capricious and savage.It's nothing to marry back, but it's really hard for her to ask her to be the master.

Furthermore, the meaning in the other party's words is obvious, Prince An's Mansion wants to find a gentle and virtuous daughter-in-law, this standard is far from that of Princess Eleven.The queen mother is not stupid, so she naturally understands that the other party is pointing out in a disguised form that the eleventh princess is not within the scope of consideration in Prince An's family selection.

Before she even spoke, she was already rejected.
