Queen's scheming

Chapter 188 Waiting Illness (Part [-])

Mi Yurou went to the outsider, feeling a little puzzled in her heart, the Empress Dowager's illness is not serious, why would she say these things, Mi Yurou didn't understand until she reached the outer palace.

Shen Qingyi saw Mi Yurou come out with a worried face, her brows were deeply furrowed, and she almost bumped into Nanny Ding, she hurriedly got up and asked, "How is it? Didn't the Queen Mother wake up? You are so worried, but the Queen Mother's Has the high fever subsided?"

Only then did Mi Yurou regain her composure, and hurriedly collected her expression and said, "The Empress Dowager woke up, and she lost her temper when she heard that the Empress Dowager is waiting in the outer hall, and told her to go back to Ningsu Palace to have a baby. Staying in the Cihui Palace, I am worried that you will be sick."

"Are you really all right?" Shen Qingyi couldn't believe it. When Mi Yurou came out just now, her expression was a bit wrong.

Seeing Shen Qingyi looking at her worriedly, Mi Yurou gently smoothed the broken hair on her sideburns, and said with some shame: "The queen mother is fine, it's just because the queen mother complained about the pain of the medicine and reprimanded the concubine, so the concubine A concubine would look like that."

"So that's how it is." Shen Qingyi gently took Mi Yurou's hand, and comforted her softly: "People who are sick will inevitably be hypocritical, and the Queen Mother doesn't like bitter soup at all, so I have to drink it this time. , I want to vent, I have wronged you."

"Where do concubines dare to say that they are wronged, everything is what concubines should suffer." Mi Yurou's eyes glanced at Shen Qingyi's tulip purple twelve skirts, and that belly carried a new life, even the one who had always been straightforward Shen Qingyi can become so tender and comfort her softly, if she can conceive a baby herself, that would be great.

Shen Qingyi noticed that Mi Yurou's expression was very strange, and she felt a little uneasy. She wanted to go and take a look for herself, but she was afraid of angering the Queen Mother, so she could only turn to An Qingyao for help.

An Qingyao was pityed by the Queen Mother and adopted as a righteous daughter. She jumped from the daughter of the Marquis Mansion to the princess of a country, and her feelings for the Queen Mother were different from others.Now seeing Mi Yurou coming out of the inner hall, she said softly, "Is it okay for the imperial concubine Duanjing to accompany the empress dowager here? Qingyao wants to visit the empress dowager."

Mi Yurou nodded slightly, just as An Qingyao was about to enter, a little father-in-law reported back, Concubine Xue came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.

Shen Qingyi didn't bother to pay attention to Concubine Xue, and after receiving a gift, she sent her in, but Mi Yurou was worried, blessed Shen Qingyi with blessings, and followed her into the inner hall.

Tang Aoxue was a bit reluctant at first, so she invited Ann, and went straight to the point, saying: "The concubine learned that the queen mother is ill, so she came here specially, hoping to stay with the queen mother to serve her."

Mi Yurou is the most thoughtful, Tang Aoxue's behavior these days is very strange, I have to be wary of her, no one can tell what her plan is, immediately took the white chrysanthemum honey water soup from Ding Momo, used it The porcelain spoon was stirred, exhaled like blue, blew lightly a few times, handed it to the Queen Mother, smiled and said to Tang Aoxue: "Sister Concubine Xue had this idea, I shouldn't stop it, but the Queen Mother is used to being served by this concubine. , I am also quite aware of the living habits of the Empress Dowager, if Sister Concubine Xue is new here, it will be bad if she annoys the Empress Dowager again."

Tang Aoxue didn't expect Mi Yurou to be the first to object. She hated Mi Yurou even more than Shen Qingyi. After all, Shen Qingyi was still a prostitute, and Mi Yurou was just a daughter of a concubine. go up.

Tang Aoxue gave Tang Aoxue a cold look, her voice was not half warm, and said: "The imperial concubine needs to assist the Six Palaces, if she is serving the Empress Dowager every day, how will the affairs of the Six Palaces be handled?"

Tang Aoxue just dug a hole for Mi Yurou, either she agreed to serve her illness in front of the queen mother, or she gave up the right to assist the sixth house.

As soon as Mi Yurou heard this, she felt that Tang Aoxue was aiming to divide power and deliberately used words to provoke her, so she immediately said bluntly: "The affairs of the six palaces are handled by the empress and this concubine, Concubine Xue need not worry."

Tang Aoxue smiled slightly, raised her eyebrows and said, "The queen is pregnant now, I'm afraid she won't be able to manage too much!"

Tang Aoxue's words were a little threatening, the queen mother didn't want to intervene in the fight between them, and Mi Yurou should have experienced many things by herself, but Tang Aoxue's aggressive attitude annoyed the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager stared at Tang Aoxue, her eyes sparkled with wisdom and said: "What? Could it be that Concubine Xue wants to share the worries of the Empress and the Imperial Concubine? How complicated is the affairs of the Six Palaces, and it needs three people to handle it together?"

The Empress Dowager was obviously angry. Tang Aoxue was now glad that she had listened to the masked woman's words, and that she did not come to share power. Tang Aoxue said right now, "The Empress Dowager is worrying too much. How dare concubines covet the affairs of the sixth palace. Concubines It means that you can have a day-to-day relationship with the imperial concubine Duanjing, so that the imperial concubine can also be distracted from dealing with the affairs of the Six Palaces, without delaying her service to the empress dowager, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Tang Aoxue with scrutiny. Mi Yurou suspected that Tang Aoxue had other thoughts, but the Empress Dowager was sure. The Empress Dowager had gone through two dynasties and had been in the deep palace for many years. I rarely ask for peace, let alone sickness, and there must be a reason for being so active all of a sudden.

The queen mother looked at Tang Aoxue for a while, and finally smiled lovingly: "Concubine Xue has such a thought, it is really rare, if the mourning family does not fulfill you, it is the fault of the mourning family, how about it, the imperial concubine Duanjing is here in the morning, Concubine Xue you Come in the afternoon, so that the imperial concubine can handle the affairs of the Six Palaces with peace of mind."

Tang Aoxue was a little dissatisfied. In the morning, except for breakfast and greetings, it only took one and a half hours to eat at noon, but it was different in the afternoon, and it took two and a half hours to eat in the evening. The Queen Mother clearly favored Mi Yurou.

"What? Concubine Xue, you don't want to?" The queen mother gave Tang Aoxue a sideways glance. A girl who has only been in the palace for three years dares to play tricks in front of her, and she hasn't even learned how to hide her emotions!

Tang Aoxue's smile was a bit far-fetched, and she found an excuse and said: "It's not a big hindrance, but the concubine has always had the habit of taking a nap. I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate to delay the time in the Empress Dowager's Cihui Palace."

The queen mother nodded, and said in a deep voice: "So that's the case, then you come in the morning and let the imperial concubine come in the afternoon. Since you have the habit of taking a nap, you must have woken up early in the morning. That's fine, Aijia I used to have the habit of doing morning lessons, so you can come over before breakfast and read a Buddhist scripture for Aijia!"

Tang Aoxue wanted to serve the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother would not stop her, but Tang Aoxue used tricks in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother would never let her go lightly. Reciting Buddhist scriptures is more annoying than copying Buddhist scriptures!

Tang Aoxue wanted to evade it now, but she couldn't shirk it. She was secretly annoyed, this was all the bad idea of ​​the masked woman!
An Qingyao, who had been silent all this time, opened her mouth at this time: "If the Queen Mother does not dislike Yao'er's dullness, Yao'er can replace the Queen Mother and serve the Queen Mother!"
