Chapter 145 146: Bad things can turn into good things
Concubine Shu was still thinking about something, but Concubine Wan on the other side fainted from anger, and it took a while to wake up, sitting there alone in a daze, she didn't know what she was thinking after sitting for a long time, her mind was empty, and all the books she used to read were gone.
All that came to mind was Song Yunzhao's face, which reminded her of the scene when she saw the emperor with her that day.
She should be sober that day, the emperor treats Song Yunzhao differently from them.
The emperor never held their hands, but she saw clearly that day that it was the emperor holding Song Yunzhao's hand, not Song Yunzhao holding the emperor's hand.
Now that she is pregnant again, I am afraid that she will be even more beautiful in the future.
"Master, Rouge next to Concubine Zhuang is here and wants to see you." Le Chun entered the hall and said cautiously.
Concubine Wan came back to her senses, "No, let her go back, just say I'm not feeling well and lie down."
"Yes, the maidservant will go back to her now." Seeing the empress's complexion, Le Chun didn't dare to persuade her, and hurriedly bowed and retreated.
Concubine Wan took a deep breath, raised her feet and walked to the study room. For the past few days, she basically stayed in the study room~www..com~ It made her feel more relaxed and didn't have to think about so many troublesome things.
But the queen mother came back, which made her feel uneasy, and now it was reported that Song Yunzhao was pregnant, and the successive incidents made her a little dazed. The most glorious moment of the third concubine in the harem had passed.
The last decency she maintained cannot collapse because of these.
Concubine Wan was sitting in front of the table with a Heart Sutra on it. Even though she had memorized it backwards, holding it in her hand could give her some comfort.
Concubine Wan in Roufu Palace tried her best to calm herself down. On the contrary, Concubine Zhuang knew that Concubine Wan refused to see Rouge, she sat down on the big clinical couch with a sullen face, and sneered for a long time.
Concubine Wan thought that it was just a few years ago, and she could be allowed to do whatever she wanted, and she didn't look at what the current situation was like. If she didn't join hands with her, she didn't know what would happen.
Fortunately, there is still Qin Xiyue who can use it right now, and can also block a predicament.
Qin Xiyue, who was missed by Concubine Zhuang, was also in a terrible mood. She was locked in the dormitory for a long time before she came out, holding a letter in her hand, and asked the people around her to send it to the Taifu's residence.
If you say that the most restless place is the Shouci Palace.
The Empress Dowager asked someone to clean up a room to make a Buddhist hall. At this time, the fragrance of Buddha was wafting in the air. The Empress Dowager knelt on the futon and closed her eyes to chant sutras, the beads in her hands were constantly turning.
An Shutong was serving at the side, holding a scripture book in his hand and reading slowly, with a gentle tone and soft voice, which made people's impetuous heart slowly settle down.
I don't know how long it took, the prayer beads in the Empress Dowager's hand stopped turning, and slowly opened her eyes.
An Shutong immediately put down the scriptures, got up and helped the queen mother up, "Auntie, let me help you drink a cup of tea and rest for a while."
The Empress Dowager is very old, and it is really not suitable to kneel for a long time, and her knees can't bear it after kneeling for a long time.
An Shutong helped the queen mother to sit down in the outer room, then went to the small tea room to make tea, put it in front of the queen mother lightly, and then walked behind the queen mother and gently squeezed her shoulders.
"Your kneeling time will be longer today. I will squeeze your shoulders to relax and relax. It's not a tiring job. It will tire me out." An Shutong's voice is as clear as an oriole in the morning, with laughter, which makes people sound very comfortable.
The Queen Mother nodded contentedly, "You, you are too soft-tempered and caring. In the future, I won't be at ease if I promise you to anyone."
An Shutong's face turned red and he didn't talk to her. She gave the empress dowager a little bit of pressure, which made her feel more considerate.
The Empress Dowager brought An Shutong back to the palace, but she didn't promise anything. An Shutong was also a patient character, and never took the initiative to ask, as if she would do whatever the Empress Dowager asked her to do.
When this topic was brought up today, An Shutong faintly sensed that the Queen Mother should clarify.
It is not in vain that she has been serving carefully in the palace for more than a year. Thinking of this, she became even more silent, as if she was embarrassed by her little daughter.
The queen mother smiled lightly and beckoned her to sit down.
An Shutong sat down with his head slightly lowered, his hands tightly twisted together, and his handkerchief also tangled up, looking very restrained and shy. It's the same as the usual appearance of the daughter's family when they hear about life-long events, and the Queen Mother is in a good mood.
"Shutong, you are the youngest niece of the Ai family. You have been with me for more than a year, and I like you very much."
"Shutong knows that it is my blessing to be able to serve my aunt. There is no sister in the family who is not envious. They also want to have the opportunity to show their filial piety in front of my aunt." An Shutong said with a smile.
The queen mother nodded slightly, "I know their filial piety, but this palace has strict rules, and not everyone can come in. You have also seen that the royal family is rich and rich, but not everyone can enjoy it."
An Shutong's face tightened slightly when he heard the words, with a nervous look on his face, as if he was frightened.
"The Ai family naturally hopes that you can be by my side all the time. Now I have a chance, and it depends on whether you are lucky." The Queen Mother looked at An Shutong and said.
An Shutong looked at the queen mother in confusion, but said quickly: "My aunt has always loved me, as long as it is your order, Shutong will do it."
"Good boy, my aunt saw you right." The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction.
An Shutong pursed her lips and smiled, pinching the handkerchief and lowering her head again.
The empress dowager knew very well in her heart that the relationship between her and the emperor's mother and child was very weak. In the early years, she did neglect her son in order to compete for favor, but that was something she couldn't help. Whether it was the late emperor's empress, Gao Guifei, or Concubine Li and Concubine Rong, none of them were easy to get along with.
She was too simple in the early years, and she was calculated to fall out of favor by them. It was too difficult for her to live as a beautiful woman, and the emperor didn't even think about it. If she died, how could he, a prince, live alone.
Thinking of this, the queen mother was not happy, but her son sat on the throne, the queen Gao Guifei and the others were all turned into a pile of dust, so she was naturally very happy.
She wanted to restore the relationship with her son, so when he asked her to stay in the palace for six years, she gritted her teeth and agreed.
Now the emperor Yinuo took her back to the palace, and she betrothed her niece to the emperor. With a considerate girl like Shutong accompanying her and persuading her, the relationship between their mother and child would definitely be greatly improved.
It's a pity that something happened. I didn't expect that Song Jieyu, the emperor's favorite, would become pregnant once she returned to the palace, disrupting her plans.
However, bad things can also be turned into good things.
How can a concubine who is pregnant can serve her bed again? The concubines who were favored by the late emperor used this trick to make her fall out of favor.
