Chapter 493 Chapter 494: Concubine Ming’s temperament is really arrogant
After entering the temple, there was a lot of chatter and laughter as they entered.
Yun Zhao glanced at the people present with his eyes, and stepped forward to greet the Queen Mother without squinting.
“I pay my respects to the Queen Mother and wish her happiness, longevity and health.”
“My dear concubine, there is no need to be polite, please get up.” The Queen Mother waved her hand.
Concubine Shu also stood up following the salute. When the Queen Mother did not take her with her, she did not take it seriously and stood beside Song Yunzhao.
At this time, Mrs. Gu Enhou came forward with An Ling to salute.
“I have seen the noble concubine, Concubine Shu.”
“The ministers pay their respects to the noble concubine, the concubine Shu.”
Just listen to this voice, it is indeed a good voice, otherwise how could there be voice control in this world.
Song Yunzhao just glanced at An Ling. Her waist was as plump as a weak willow supporting the wind, her face was as beautiful as the moon, and her voice was like an oriole's cry. What can I say about her beauty?
In later generations’ parlance, it is innocence with unconscious charm, and it is a color that men like most.
Song Yunzhao only glanced at him and then calmly withdrew his gaze, expressing his temperament. Such a woman might take a second look because of the novelty, but she would never take it to heart.
She knew clearly after the two had been together for so many years that he had high demands on women, and it was not just about looks.
Although beautiful, it is vulgar and not enough to be an enemy.
“Mrs. Hou, please invite Miss An. There is no need to be formal with the Queen Mother.” Song Yunzhao said with his signature smile.
Mrs. Gu Enhou stood up, and An Ling stood beside her. She raised her head slightly and looked at this famous concubine quietly.
At first glance, one can see that she is very wealthy. Everything she wears on her body and hair is luxurious and beautiful. This kind of beauty is leached from her bones and cultivated over the years.
Looking at the concubine's waist, although it is not as slender as hers, she has already given birth to two children. She has seen many people who have given birth to children, but it is rare to find someone with such a self-disciplined figure as the concubine.
Remembering the plump waists of several sisters-in-law in the house after having children, and then comparing them to the imperial concubine, An Ling lowered his eyes slightly.
Although An Ling's assessment was extremely subtle, Song Yunzhao had always been alert and on guard, so he naturally felt it.
However, she acted as if she didn't notice, and talked to the Queen Mother in useless words. Listening to the Queen Mother's worries about the emperor, Song Yunzhao echoed a few words, but no more.
At this time, I suddenly heard Mrs. Gu'enhou saying with a smile: "Why don't we see the two princes? Speaking of which, the Queen Mother often mentions the two young princes in front of her ministers. She is looking forward to it."
The smile on Song Yunzhao's face disappeared and he looked sideways at Madam Gu Enhou, "Madam probably hasn't gone out today. She doesn't know that the weather today is gloomy and there is a north wind. The eldest prince has a heavy homework and has to complete the tasks given to him before his Majesty leaves the capital. He didn't dare to slack off at all in the homework he had left behind. The second prince's child, who was only a few months old, was taken out in such a cold wind. Those who knew well understood that Madam Hou meant well, but those who didn't knew thought that Madam Hou had other intentions. "
An Ling was shocked. Ever since the imperial concubine entered the house, she had looked talkative and smiling. She was completely different from the arrogant and domineering person in the rumors. She thought the rumors were wrong.
Mrs. Gu'enhou's face stiffened, and then she said: "It would be unfilial for the Queen Mother to miss her grandson every day and not see her even though she is wrapped in a big cloak." Song Yunzhao's face was completely cold. When she came down, seeing that the Queen Mother had no intention of speaking, she immediately stood up, looked at Mrs. Gu Enhou coldly, and then said loudly: "Here comes someone!"
"My servant is here." Aunt Yu immediately stood up and responded.
“Mrs. Gu’enhou is a person who values family affection, and this makes sense.”
Mrs. Gu'enhou looked a little proud when she heard this. There is no one in this world who is not afraid of the word filial piety.
Just as I was thinking about this, I heard the imperial concubine say again: "Why don't you go and bring the grandchildren of Gu'enhou Mansion into the palace? Speaking of which, the Queen Mother has been back in the palace for so long, but she has never seen anyone from Gu'enhou Mansion. As for the junior. I am also negligent, and I am not as considerate as Mrs. Gu Enhou."
Mrs. Gu'enhou just got a little grandson a few days ago. Now he is only three months old. The imperial concubine brought him all the way into the palace, and the little grandson couldn't run away.
On such a cold day, Mrs. Gu'enhou's face suddenly turned pale. "My dear concubine, what do you mean? What the queen mother wants to see is her grandson."
"I have always been a fair and just person. If you want to see your grandson, you must not also see your grandson from your mother's family, so as not to hurt the Queen Mother."
"Ming Guifei!" The Queen Mother said with a stern face, "Why do you misinterpret the meaning of Mrs. Gu Enhou?"
"The Queen Mother, how can this be a misinterpretation? Why, Mrs. Gu'enhou feels sorry for her grandson and is reluctant to enter the palace in such a cold weather, but she is willing to let the emperor's prince brave the wind and snow. It is really brave. If it is the second prince Anyway, can Mrs. Gu Enhou afford the compensation?"
These words were too straightforward, and both the Queen Mother and Mrs. Gu'enhou looked unhappy, so they were almost slapped in the face with the words "murdering the prince."
"Your Majesty, the Ai family is still here, how can we allow you to frame Mrs. Gu Enhou?" the Queen Mother said angrily.
"False accusation? Didn't Mrs. Gu'enhou say that she would bring the second prince? The second prince is only a few months old. The adults are extremely careful when walking in such weather, but Mrs. Gu'enhou actually allowed the child who is only a few months old to freeze. , it’s simply heartbreaking!”
Song Yunzhao didn't want to make excuses with these people, and he didn't care about the look on the Queen Mother's face. He stared at Madam Gu Enhou and said, "Madam, after your Majesty's triumphant return, I will truthfully report back to the Emperor and ask the Emperor to make a decision." After saying this, he looked again. To the Queen Mother, "I'm not feeling well and I'm going to leave now. Please forgive me, Queen Mother!"
Song Yunzhao gave a salute and turned around.
An Ling was dumbfounded. Rumors are true, Concubine Ming is really arrogant!
Concubine Shu was also angry. She really didn't expect that Mrs. Gu'enhou would dare to say such words, thinking that she was in the Hou's mansion. Is she the one who can talk to the dignified prince?
"Mother of the Queen, there are still things in the palace that I need to decide, so I will leave first." Concubine Shu was too lazy to say hello to Mrs. Gu'enhou, so she turned around and left with the others.
After leaving Shouci Palace, Concubine Shu couldn't suppress the anger in her heart. She said to the people around her: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have let the concubine come here today. Madam Gu Enhou really takes herself seriously. I Just tell me why the Queen Mother let her enter the palace, so she is waiting here."
Yun Shang followed beside her and said softly: "Mother, please don't be angry. I'm afraid things are not simple for Yi Nu."
"What do you mean?" Concubine Shu stopped, "What do you mean by not being simple? Isn't this enough?"
Yun Shang looked around, then lowered her voice and said, "I'm looking at you coldly today. Miss An keeps peeking at the imperial concubine. She doesn't seem to be peaceful."
Concubine Shu laughed angrily, "Why is it that if one concubine is not shameful enough, another one should be given? Can't the girls in their Gu'en Marquis Mansion be married off? One or two of them will be stuffed into the palace."
Concubine Shu did not suppress her voice at all, and her voice floated along the wall of Shouci Palace.
