Doctor's Hand Covering Fragrance

Chapter 193 The Controversy of Flattery
Jade is as moist as water, and the jade silk mat with natural patterns is crystal clear. It seems that the cool steam contained in it is about to evaporate. When people see it, the restlessness in their hearts subsides unconsciously.Mo Guifei lightly brushed her slender jade fingers across the mat, and sighed with a smile: "It really is a good thing, Xiao Wu really took the trouble."

Her confidant, the maid of honor, Aunt Song, said with a smile, "Fifth Young Master remembers how kind your Majesty was to him."

Concubine Mo Gui said: "It is the elder sister's duty to take care of the younger brother. Besides, although he was weak and sick since he was a child, he is smart, well-behaved, capable, and full of talent." Thinking of the embarrassing situation of this younger brother who has no talent but can't display it, he couldn't help but sigh softly He said, "It's really difficult for him."

Aunt Song was not easy to answer, so she smiled and stood with her hands down.

The queen has no children, and no concubine in the harem can be as beautiful as herself, except Concubine Huang Shu.Concubine Huang Shu...it doesn't matter if you don't mention it, there is nothing to be afraid of, as beautiful as it is now, it will be as miserable as it will be in the future.When his own emperor's son can inherit the great power in the future, then there will be an opportunity for the fifth younger brother to show his strength.Concubine Mo Gui smiled slightly, and turned to tell Aunt Song: "Go to Ningshou Palace and ask, and tell me that I got a good thing, and I want to present it to the Queen Mother."

Could it be that the imperial concubine wants to dedicate this jade mat to the queen mother?Aunt Song was a little bit reluctant: "Your Majesty, this mat is a rare item. I have seen a few mats made of jade silk, but I have never seen such fine and fine workmanship."

"Don't say you are reluctant, I am also reluctant. But why is Xiao Wu so troublesome? Isn't he just looking forward to me? The queen mother is the mother queen, so she should use the best." Concubine Mo's beautiful eyes shone with a firm light. , as long as my son is good, I can talk about anything in the future.

"You are interested. The weather is getting hot these few days. I feel that I can't sleep well. Coincidentally, you sent me the mat." The Empress Dowager Lian looked at the jade silk mat in front of her with a smile, and then looked at Si Li's side. The flattering Concubine Mo Gui quietly waited for Concubine Mo Gui to speak up.The so-called courteous people must ask for something, even the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are no exception, not to mention that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the most complicated relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the world.

Concubine Mo Gui knew that the Empress Dowager Lian's straightforward temperament did not dare to go around, so she whispered with a smile: "Respecting the elders is what the younger generation should..." In a few words, the topic turned to An Yi: "Thanks to Doctor Xiao'an, my ineffective fifth brother is now living like a human being. These days, I have heard many good things from Doctor Xiao'an, saying that the Empress Dowager knows people with eyes, and that Mrs. Xiao'an is precious, the only regret The only thing is that the family background is a little lower, so I can't get a good marriage..."

Even though the Empress Dowager was noncommittal, the smile on her face became wider. Seeing this, Concubine Mo knew that her flattery was right, so she wanted to get to the point: "I heard that there have been rumors in Beijing recently, It is said that Mrs. Marquis Yongchang and Dr. Xiaoan fell in love with each other, like a pair of mother and daughter..." Before finishing speaking, Aunt Jiang came in and whispered: "The empress came to pay her respects."

Although Empress Liang did not give birth to a boy and a half girl, she was a legitimate daughter-in-law. Besides, she was the first to marry the emperor, and she accompanied the emperor through the very difficult years of youth.Even the Empress Dowager felt sorry for her, so of course she was reluctant to let her wait outside for a long time, so she hurriedly said: "Let her in quickly. Why did she come out in such a hot day? You don't try to persuade her, I really want to go out and walk around, and I will wait for the day It’s better to come out when your head is not full.”

Concubine Mo Guifei felt a little uncomfortable, but she still smiled, and walked a few steps forward respectfully to greet the queen, and then carefully helped the queen to come in, teasingly said: "The queen mother loves the empress so much, I see that the concubine is in good health." acid."

Empress Liang gave her a false nod: "You have such an unforgiving mouth, you don't know how to restrain yourself at this age." She saluted and greeted the Queen Mother, and then smiled after taking her seat: "What were you talking about just now? Let me join in too. Fun."

It is not easy for Concubine Mo Gui to tell lies, and she thought that it was a matter of pleasing the Empress Dowager anyway, and the Empress would not be able to dismantle the situation, so she smiled and said: "I am talking about Doctor Xiao An, there are rumors outside that Mrs. Yongchanghou has a crush on her and wants to accept her as a The righteous girl..."

Before she could finish speaking, Queen Liang said softly, "Not good."

Concubine Mo Guifei changed her color in an instant, and then put on a smiling face and said: "Your Majesty can't say it well, there must be Your Majesty's reasons."

Empress Liang continued to speak softly: "It's true that Doctor Xiao'an is a good girl, and it's true that Mrs. Marquis Yongchang is kind. But I heard that Doctor Xiao'an's father is loyal and capable, and His Majesty also intends to use him highly. If Yongchang Mrs. Hou kindly accepted Xiao An as her goddaughter. In the future, it is inevitable that there will be a villain in the future who will be talkative, but it is not beautiful. Moreover, if it is about Xiao An's marriage, the difference between this adopted daughter and her own daughter is also very big, and they are not the same. , it hurt people."

Even the Queen Mother remained noncommittal.

Concubine Mo observed her words and felt that the Empress Dowager was not very satisfied with what the Empress said, so she tactfully retorted with a smile: "Your Majesty is right, but if the Empress Dowager wants to give someone face, who would dare not follow up? Speak louder Liao Li said, isn't the dignity of people in the world all given by the royal family?"

Queen Liang smiled without saying a word.

Concubine Mo Gui couldn't help being a little ashamed, and felt that she had been unable to see through the dying queen.

Even the queen mother frowned and said: "Okay, okay, I understand. The queen understands righteousness, and the noble concubine is also enthusiastic. But Xiao An did have merit, and he knew how to advance and retreat. A few days ago, I talked about it with the Holy Majesty. I haven't rewarded her all this time, so you can give me an idea, how to reward her best?"

Empress Liang calmly said: "She is a woman, giving her a title is more useful than giving her a title."

The Empress Dowager Lian looked at Empress Liang with piercing eyes, and Empress Liang sat there quietly, as weak as a paper figure, but her expression was magnanimous.Even the Empress Dowager sighed, and said: "There is some truth to it. She saved my life, and she does a lot of good deeds on weekdays. She also has the credit for the rescue of the epidemic at Feilongguan. I will give her a piece of Lumi to eat. People won't be too picky about me, an old woman who pretends to be a public servant, right? If you really want to be picky, then give it from my private treasury, isn't that too much?"

"Of course not, how could it be?" Mo Guifei felt remorseful, and looked at Queen Liang with a bit of resentment. This is the master of flattering. The seat of the middle palace.Thinking about it again, I became a little angry again. The queen didn't want to see her doing well in front of the queen mother. She is a person who has one foot in the loess, why is she still restless?

Empress Liang smiled peacefully, and sat with the Empress Dowager for a while, and offered two boxes of Buddhist incense made by herself, and then got up to go.Just arrived at the Kunning Palace, she fell headlong, and the accompanying maid hurriedly helped her into the palace, waited on her carefully, and arranged to invite the imperial physician, Empress Liang waved her hand: "No, I'll rest for a while That's enough." Leaving her confidant female officer to speak, her voice was so soft that she could hardly hear it: "Go and tell Duke Tang that I have done what he asked me to do, and let him not forget his promise."
