MTL - The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon-Chapter 202 203: Don't disturb the queen mother with such a trivial matter

  Chapter 202 203: Don't disturb the Queen Mother with such a trivial matter

  Qin Xiyue knows that An Shutong is not a good person to get along with, so it is not kind to tell her the news now.

  However, she was really unhappy.

  The emperor actually ignored that Song Yunzhao stayed overnight during her pregnancy. Since Song Yunzhao became pregnant, the emperor has hardly stayed overnight in Wangyou Palace. This also made everyone think that Song Yunzhao was pregnant and the emperor would no longer favor her.

   This was the case during the time of the first emperor. Even if the favorite concubine was pregnant, even the famous brand would be removed, at least it would not reappear until after giving birth to a child.

  In this dynasty, the emperor has never used a famous brand. In the past, he used to rotate among the three concubines, and later he only favored Song Yunzhao.

  She knew that when she came to the palace to escape the summer heat this time, the Empress Dowager would mention the famous brand to the emperor. This was the news that Concubine Zhuang gave her, and it was the first step to suppress Song Yunzhao.

  But I didn't expect that the famous brand hadn't been implemented yet, and the emperor actually broke the previous balance and stayed at Song Yunzhao's place.

   This matter may not seem like a big deal, but it is very tricky.

  An Shutong looked at Qin Xiyue, although he tried his best to suppress his expression, but there was still a bit of displeasure and fear in his eyes.

  She already knew some inside information about what happened last time. Although she didn't grasp the clue, Qin Xiyue hadn't seen anyone for a while, which made her very suspicious.

  After all, on that day, according to the plan of the Empress Dowager, she should not have slept so deeply. As a result, not only did she sleep deeply, but her body was also very uncomfortable. She suspected that someone had tampered with her.

   It's just that the queen mother was furious at that time, and the emperor was pressing her hard. She really didn't dare to say anything, and she left the palace the next day, but it didn't mean the matter was over.

  An Shutong added slowly at this time, "I heard from Nanny Yao that the emperor did not go to the front hall to be a council member today, and he was still with Song Zhaoyi. It is really enviable that Song Zhaoyi is so valued by the emperor."

  After hearing An Shutong's words, Qin Xiyue didn't show any abnormality on her face, and said with a smile: "Miss An hasn't stayed in the palace for a long time, so she probably thinks this incident is very unexpected, but it is very common for Song Zhaoyi."

  An Shutong knew that Qin Xiyue said this on purpose, but it was really hard not to feel sad.

  Which woman in this world does not want a husband who is gentle and considerate?

  The two of them were not congenial, and the atmosphere became a little weird. Only the sound of drizzle falling on the eaves of the pavilion made people even more depressed.

   "I don't know when it will rain." Qin Xiyue took the initiative to break the silence, "I originally wanted to visit Song Zhaoyi, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient to disturb me right now. I don't know if Ms. An is interested in visiting me. Let's invite a few people to play leaf cards to pass the time."

  An Shutong wanted to refuse subconsciously, but when the words came to his lips, he said: "If you don't disturb Qin Wanyi, Shutong is naturally happy."

   "There's no need to bother me, it's just to pass the time." Qin Xiyue got up, smiled and called her maid, telling her to go back and get ready.

  An Shutong and Qin Xiyue walked side by side, both of them had smiles on their faces, as if the previous unhappiness had never happened.

   "This is my first time in the palace, and I don't know what to do here." Qin Xiyue said.

  An Shutong knew what Qin Xiyue meant. She followed the queen mother. The queen mother used to come to the palace with the first emperor to escape the summer heat. She must have known what to do in the palace.

   "The palace is not as strict as the palace. There are hot springs to soak in, and there are pastures at the foot of the mountain to ride horses. If you have the courage, you can also go hunting in the mountains." Speaking of this, An Shutong smiled, "I heard that there is a market at the foot of the mountain, and I heard from the empress dowager that someone went to the market. Moreover, coming to the palace to escape the summer heat is to relax, and there are often banquets. .”

  Qin Xiyue had inquired about it before coming to the palace, but not as carefully as An Shutong said.

  The first emperor was a pleasure-loving person, so the palace cannot be said to be similar to singing and dancing every day, but the emperor is different, and may not be able to do such things.

   "I'm relieved to have Ms. An's words. I'm always afraid of losing my appearance when I first come to the palace." Qin Xiyue took An Shutong into her own yard, and Dong Guiren lived with her.

  Dong Guiren was drinking tea under the eaves of the verandah. He was very surprised to see the two of them coming back together.

   "Dong Guiren is free right now, Ms. An and I are going to play leaf cards."

   "Of course I'm free." Dong Guiren could not disagree, "But we still lack one person."

  Qin Xiyue smiled and said, "Then go and ask Concubine Fan if she's free."

  Jacaranda hurriedly responded, turned around and walked out.

  Fang Ping came back one step earlier. At this time, the card tables were all set up, and she smiled and invited the three of them in.

  Dong Guiren's eyes rolled, thinking that Qin Wanyi went out early in the morning and brought Miss An back. No matter how she looked at it, she felt strange.

  But she could only think about it in her heart but didn't dare to ask a single word. Besides, there were many rumors in the palace, especially the matter of Miss An being sent out of the palace last time, and it was rumored that Qin Wanyi had a hand in it.

   It doesn't look like it now.

  Concubine Fan came very quickly, and the four of them played cards as soon as they were seated, and the atmosphere became lively immediately.

  When the news reached Concubine Zhuang, Concubine Zhuang really didn't know what face to put on.

  Qin Xiyue is really amazing. She tricked An Shutong with her front foot, but she can still play cards affectionately with people with her back foot.

   "Is the Empress Dowager awake?" Concubine Zhuang asked.

   Rouge shook her head, "The servants are coming from over there, the empress dowager has not gotten up yet."

   Concubine Zhuang sneered, she must have been annoyed by the emperor, she was old, she couldn't sleep well at night, and she couldn't get up in the morning.

   Fortunately, the Empress Dowager did not say the rules for asking them to greet each other every day, otherwise everyone would have to wait now.

   "Go and ask Concubine Wan if she is free."

"yes."

   Soon the person came back, and Yan Zhi replied: "Concubine Wan was startled by the night rain last night, and now she is having a headache, and the imperial doctor prescribed the medicine."

   Concubine Zhuang: …

  This medicine jar.

  Before, when I got sick once, eight times out of ten I pretended.

   Now, half of it is true. It can be seen that this person cannot pretend to be sick. After a long time, even the heavens think that you should be sick.

   Really bad luck.

   "Mother." Yun Dai walked in quickly from the outside, handed the umbrella to the little maid, stomped her feet before entering the hall, "Madam asked if you are free, and would like to see you."

   Concubine Zhuang was taken aback, "Did mother say anything else?"

   "Madam didn't say anything, she just asked this question." Yun Dai hurriedly replied.

   Concubine Zhuang didn't expect her mother to see her so soon, could something have happened to her?

   "Go yourself and bring Madam in." Concubine Zhuang said.

  Yun Dai nodded hurriedly, "I'm going now, my maidservant, do you want to reply to the empress dowager?"

  Concubine Zhuang's expression turned cold, "The empress dowager has not gotten up yet, so don't disturb the empress dowager's rest with such a trivial matter."
