The wedding ceremony of Yuan Tao and Xue was very successful, and within two days, the couple went to the imperial garden to meet Su Youyi, and entered the palace to see Yuan Zhi.

Yuan Zhi saw that the two of them were very harmonious, and his heart was also happy, so he said: "You will take the Xue family to live in the palace for a few more days, so that she can get acquainted with it." Originally, the queen mother's intention was to let you get married in the palace, who knew that you were so cautious that you had to go to the palace to get married. ”

Yuan Tao smiled when he heard this.

In fact, he didn't feel anything wrong at first, but after seeing the grand scene of Yuanzhi's wedding, he slowly realized that his wedding was really not suitable for holding in the palace.

Now the master of the palace is not his father, but his brother, and he holds a wedding in his brother's house, so it is inevitable that he will not be suspicious.

Therefore, he rejected Su Youyi's kindness and insisted on holding a wedding in the palace, but Su Youyi and Yuan Zhi couldn't resist him.

At this time, Yuan Zhi invited again, and Yuan Tao naturally did not refuse, "Brother Xie Huang's kindness." In this case, she should also be asked to meet the imperial sister-in-law and be familiar with the etiquette in the palace. ”

Motoji patted his head, "Exactly, I forgot about it." Xiao Jizi, you take the princess to Kunning Palace to see the queen, and let the queen entertain the princess. ”

"Yes."

Xue is a bride, glanced at Yuan Tao shyly, Yuan Tao nodded at her slightly, she bowed to the head and followed Xiao Jizi out.

……

"The princess used to be in the boudoir, can you know the queen?"

On the way to lead the Xue family to Kunning Palace, Xiao Jizi deliberately slowed down and talked to the Xue family as he walked.

"Yes."

Xue replied: "Since the queen mother's will, I was promised to be married to the prince, and at that time, the queen mother was to be married, and both families knew that the two of us would be concubines in the future. And because my grandfather Xue Ge Lao and the empress's maternal grandfather Xian Zhou Shoufu have been friends in the court for decades, the relationship has become more and more intimate. ”

"I see."

Xiao Jizi was immediately relieved, if the Xue family and Queen Zhou were strangers, he still had to think of a way to talk to these two people, so as to live up to Yuanzhi's entrustment.

Now that he knows that these two people have a relationship in the boudoir, then there is no need for him to be troublesome.

Xiao Jizi led people outside Kunning Palace, and someone from the palace had already gone in to tell Queen Zhou.

"Queen Mother, Gonggong Ji is here with the second princess!"

"Already there? Come in, please. ”

Empress Zhou got the news the day before and knew that Yuan Tao was going to take the Xue family into the palace today, and the tea and various snacks in Kunning Palace had been prepared early.

The palace people went out to spread the word, and Xiao Kizi soon walked in with the Xue family, and the two young women looked at each other, and they both smiled at each other.

Xiao Jizi knew that Xue was not lying, and quickly left, so that the two women had enough time to talk.

"The Queen."

The Xue family stepped forward to salute, and Queen Zhou personally helped her up and smiled quietly, "There are no outsiders here, let's just talk about concubines, regardless of monarchs and ministers." ”

"Yes."

Xue smiled and held her hand, and the two of them entered the room to talk affectionately.

……

"Have you gone to see the Queen Mother?"

"I've already worshipped, and I only entered the palace when I came out of the Imperial Garden."

Empress Zhou and Xue sat on the couch by the south window, and the two talked while drinking tea, Xue said: "The emperor has retained the two of us to live in the palace for a few days, and the prince has agreed." So I'm going to be bothered in the palace in the next few days, don't bother me. ”

"How so?"

When Queen Zhou heard this, she was happy and a little melancholy, "I'm a little bored in my heart, and I wish I had a friend to talk to." Fortunately, you have entered the palace and are still staying in the palace, so you can spend a few days with me. ”

When Xue Shi heard this, his heart chuckled.

Looking closely at Queen Zhou's eyes, there was indeed a faint dark green, and she said, "The queen didn't sleep well?" What's wrong, could it be the emperor ......"

"No, the emperor is very good."

Empress Zhou hurriedly argued for Yuan Zhi, and then sighed again.

Xue secretly speculated in his heart.

She and Queen Zhou are also friends who play together and play together, the grandfathers of the two families are in the cabinet, one was the first assistant and the other was the elder of the cabinet, and the relationship was close.

Since the two confirmed their future concubine relationship, they have become closer than before, even surpassing the intimacy of Queen Zhou and other people who are determined to be concubines.

For example, Miss Li, who is now Concubine Li Xian, and Miss Zhao, who is now Zhao Guiren.

It is not difficult to guess that the Xue family and Queen Zhou are both candidates for the main wife, and the two are concubines in the real sense, and Miss Li and the others, even if they are better with Queen Zhou, they will be different wives and concubines in the future.

Xue remembered that Concubine Li Xian was in the palace, but Queen Zhou said that she wished she had a friend to talk to, and she obviously didn't count Concubine Li Xian in her tone.

That's probably the problem.

She asked tentatively, "Could it be Concubine Li Xian?" ”

Empress Zhou was taken aback, "How do you know?" ”

Xue knew it in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "The queen mother and Concubine Li Xian get along day and night, if you have troubles, you can talk to her." Why don't you tell her, but you want to talk to me? The only possibility is that this matter has something to do with Concubine Li Xian. ”

Speaking of Concubine Li Xian, her family's family was originally not as compatible with the Xue family and the Zhou family.

The Zhou and Xue families are the families of Zaifu, as the elder of the pavilion, they are the first-class members of the court, and no one can stand out.

The Li family is different, Concubine Li Xian's father is just a mere Guozi priest wine, barely a clear stream.

If it weren't for Concubine Li Xian's fame in the boudoir back then, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to contact Queen Zhou, and the Xue family became friends with Concubine Li Xian because Queen Zhou was in the middle.

In the final analysis, she still has a better relationship with Queen Zhou, and Queen Zhou treats both of her as close friends, and even once became closer to Concubine Li Xian because of her talent.

Queen Zhou was a little embarrassed when Xue said the central matter, and then told Xue the ins and outs of the matter.

“…… Since that day in Kunning Palace, the emperor praised her soup for being delicious, and went to her Changchun Palace several times. She also often sent people to send soup and water to the Qianqing Palace, and she bumped into me several times. I didn't think I was embarrassed, so I stopped sending people to send food to the Qianqing Palace. ”

Xue raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and Queen Zhou hurriedly explained: "I'm not jealous of her favor, it's just, it's just ......"

She didn't know how to describe what was going on in her heart.

If you say it, I am afraid that others will think that she is jealous of the queen, and if you don't say it, you won't be able to get over it after all.

I didn't want Xue Shi to say this, but held her hand and persuaded her, "I understand." Although ordinary people also have three wives and four concubines, they generally accept concubines after the main wife has been in the door for one or two years, or it is inconvenient to conceive. You are different, so many concubines entered the harem on the second day after entering the door, and you were really wronged. ”

Xue sighed, "If the prince takes a concubine today, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, let alone several?" ”
