Crowned with Pearls

  Chapter 724 One Hundred and Twenty Three · Remember

The news that Concubine Pang Gui was going to choose a concubine for the fifth prince soon reached the ears of Empress Dowager Tian. Empress Dowager Tian had changed a lot since the affair with Princess Jingming and put down a lot of things. These days, however, she was suddenly interested in Concubine Pang Gui and the concubines in the palace. They were much kinder.

Even with the matter of the fifth prince, she was rarely more concerned than before, and sincerely asked Concubine Pang Gui, "Is there any suitable candidate? There are side concubines, but in the end the main wife is different, if the husband and wife can work together, it is naturally the best."

The fact that Empress Dowager Tian could say such a thing really surprised Concubine Pang Gui for a while, since Empress Dowager Tian was kind, she also smiled sincerely: "What the Empress Dowager said, this is also what the concubine thought, child. In the end, he is still young and unstable, if there is a virtuous person watching by his side, I can be more at ease."

After saying a few words, the Empress Dowager Tian snorted: "Xiao Wu's age is actually similar to Ah Heng's. Since Xiao Wu has begun to look at each other, Ah Heng's marriage must have to look like it. What do you have? Intend?"

   When she asked this, Concubine Pang Gui was a little surprised for a while, and then shook her head hurriedly: "This official and concubine does not dare to overstep, presumably the sage has his own plans."

  Empress Dowager Tian was just asking a question. Hearing Concubine Pang Gui said this, she didn't chase after her and stopped talking.

Concubine Pang Gui was afraid that Empress Dowager Tian might have any thoughts on Xiao Heng's marriage, so she didn't want to continue the topic, so she led the topic to Tian Xun: "Speaking of which, Miss Tian Er has been ill for a while, why hasn't it been so far? Is it all right?"

Speaking of this matter, Empress Dowager Tian was a little worried: "I don't know what happened, but suddenly she became so ill, over and over again, her mother came to the palace a while ago, and said that she had lost a lot of weight, and now she is very weak. ."

The Empress Dowager Tian was very worried about Tian Xun, but when Concubine Pang Gui mentioned this, she was even more worried. After Concubine Pang Gui left, she couldn't help but told Mother Tian to simply go to Tian's house to see what happened to Tian Xun. .

   Tian's mother hesitated. The last time her conversation with Tian Xun was broken by Xiao Heng, she had been worried until now. If it wasn't for Xiao Heng's silence, she didn't know whether this level would be passable.

   But she was worried and worried, but Mother Tian still didn't have the courage to tell the Empress Dowager Tian fully.

The Empress Dowager Tian attaches the most importance to Princess Jingming. If Empress Dowager Tian finds out, she and Tian Xun conspire to use Princess Jingming's old belongings to deceive Empress Dowager Tian. There is no need to say how Tian Xun ends up, even if it is her, she will not be able to eat it. Walk around.

   Tian's mother didn't dare to take this risk, so she went to Tian's house after all.

Tian Chengzhong and his wife did not expect that the Empress Dowager Tian even sent Mama Tian to come in person, and they were immediately flattered, especially Tian Chengzhong, who sighed repeatedly: "The Empress Dowager's kindness is because this girl is too unsatisfactory and let down the good intentions of the Empress Dowager. No matter how bad it is, how can you be worthy of the empress?"

   Mrs. Tian led Mama Tian to see Tian Xun.

   The furnishings in the room are very elegant and exquisite. Tian Xun was leaning against the beautiful couch under the south window and reading a book, when he heard the movement, he raised his head and found that it was Mama Tian, ​​so he pulled the corner of his mouth mockingly.

  Tian Xun's mood has been extremely bad recently. Mrs. Tian takes care of her daughter and worries about her daughter's spirit.

  Tian Xun said softly: "Mother, you go out first, I have something to tell Mother Tian."

   Mrs. Tian was a little hesitant. It was because Tian Xun was too moody recently. She was very afraid that Tian Xun would anger Tian's mother. Wouldn't she have offended the Queen Mother indirectly at that time?

   But Mama Tian herself, seeing Madam Tian hesitating, persuaded Madam Tian softly, and said that she would comfort Tian Xun.

When Mrs. Tian exited in a state of anxiety, Tian Xuncai closed the book in his hand with a half-smiling smile, and said with a bit of mockery: "What? The status in your heart is no longer comparable to the past?"

"The Empress Dowager asked me to ask if the girl is cured." Tian's mother sternly pursed her lips and told Tian Xun, "Now the palace is busy choosing a concubine for the fifth prince, and many ladies are on the list. Famous, if you don't go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your companionship in the future."

   Tian Xun sneered.

   Tian's mother felt that Tian Xun was very hateful. It was obvious that she had tried her best to get the favor of the Queen Mother and climbed up. Now she has pulled herself into the water, but she plans to leave it alone.

   But now, Empress Dowager Tian seems to have taken Tian Xun seriously as a compensation arranged by God, and transferred her love for Princess Jingming to her.

After thinking about it, Tian's mother had to lower her voice: "Second girl, even if you don't care about this position as a companion, you should still care about His Royal Highness the eldest grandson? Some time ago, the eldest grandson of the emperor always ran outside the palace. After inquiring about this matter, I learned later that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson went to the Uncle Yongding."

   The things that he had been worried about were brought up on the bright side. Tian Xun, who could barely maintain his calm, suddenly grabbed the blanket on his patella, and his hands almost cut out a hole in the blanket.

  She closed her eyes.

   Tian's mother was relieved. Anyway, it seemed that Tian Xun's life was found.

Seeing that Tian Xun kept her mouth shut, she reminded: "Second girl has a high heart, you should understand that now you have no chance of winning compared to girl Su, especially when His Royal Highness the eldest grandson is so interested in girl Su. Under the circumstances, what else can you do? If you don't have the help of the queen mother, you probably don't want to be the eldest grandson of the emperor."

   This is a fact in front of him, and Tian Xun himself is very clear.

   It was precisely because he always knew what he wanted that Tian Xun came up with a way to use the name of the dead Princess Jingming to win the favor of the Queen Mother.

  Now, clutching the blanket, she felt unwilling in addition to anger.

  Why did she pay so much for Xiao Heng, she liked Xiao Heng for so long, but Xiao Heng didn't look at her at all, and instead was extra attentive to Su Yao?

   What's so good about Su invites that girl? It's worth Xiao Heng to turn a blind eye to everyone else?

   "I see," Tian Xun said in a hoarse voice: "Go back and tell the Empress Dowager that I am almost healed, and I will return to the palace to serve her old man in two days."

   Tian's mother breathed a sigh of relief. The purpose of her visit was to invite Tian Xun to return. Now it seems that the purpose has been achieved.
