"What do you mean by that?"

Queen Zhou was surprised: "The noble concubine really likes Zhao Guiren so much, do you have to help her if you like it?" ”

"Not really."

Xue Shi took a sip of the teacup, and then said: "Concubine Gui doesn't like Zhao Guiren very much, but she hates Concubine Li Xian very much now, you should be able to see it." Concubine Li Xian and Zhao Guiren had a dispute in the Imperial Garden, Zhao Guiren bothered to find a way to compensate the Queen Mother, but Concubine Li Xian did not move, think about it, who will the Queen Mother like and hate? ”

Empress Zhou understood as soon as she heard this.

On the surface, he asked Concubine Gui to help Zhao Guiren, but in fact, he secretly stepped on Concubine Li Xian, and Concubine Gui naturally liked this matter.

I'm afraid that there is no need for the Xue family to say anything, and the noble concubine will be busy looking for the queen mother.

Empress Zhou didn't speak.

Xue Shi pondered her thoughts and said, "Could it be that you helped Zhao Guiren come up with ideas, and it was also for ......."

Queen Zhou was a little embarrassed, "To say that there is no such intention is false, now I am pregnant with a dragon son, and there are only four concubines in the harem." The two Chang Zai are well-behaved and sensible, only Concubine Li Xian and Zhao Guiren are in court, and neither of them obeys anyone. Concubine Li Xian's position is high, and in comparison, Zhao Guiren's mind is more simple. If I don't help Zhao Guiren, she falls, who can restrain Concubine Li Xian? ”

In fact, saying these words, Queen Zhou's heart was a little empty.

These words went against her original intention of being the queen, she should have been thinking about how to make the harem harmonious, but at the moment she was thinking about how to balance the harem.

It's hard to think that Xue is going to laugh at her.

Empress Zhou was about to accept ridicule, but she heard Xue Shi say: "The queen mother is willing to use this mind now, and I am relieved." In the end, it is the queen's mother, and the queen who has only been a queen for more than half a year has already figured out the trick. ”

Xue didn't laugh at her, but praised her.

Queen Zhou's heart was a little lighter, and she couldn't help but make fun of her, "What are you making fun of me?" I can't help it. The Queen Mother is right, I should spend all my thoughts on taking care of my body now, and I really don't have time to bother elsewhere. It is necessary to set up two targets and let them check and balance each other. ”

"That's right."

Xue Shi glanced at her bulging abdomen, and couldn't help but say: "It is said that the one with a round belly is a daughter, and the one with a sharp belly is a son." I look at the queen's mother's pointed belly, she must be a prince. ”

"I can't say for sure, it's naturally good for the prince."

Empress Zhou stroked her abdomen with a smile, slightly breathing, "The emperor and the queen mother don't say anything, but I can see it too." Now up to them, then to our Zhou Mansion, and then to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military...... are all looking forward to a firstborn son. If this baby is really a prince, then everyone will be happy. ”

Xue looked at Queen Zhou's longing look, and thought that the eldest princess was also happy, the three of them got married one after another, and he was not the last, but there was no good news yet.

She only hopes in her heart that she will bless herself to have a child as soon as possible, whether it is a man or a woman.

……

After the Xue family left the palace, she immediately turned around and went to the Imperial Garden, which was similar to what she imagined, and the noble concubine didn't need her to ask for it after hearing about it, so she agreed in one bite.

"And this? How did I not know?! ”

The noble concubine hurriedly said: "You can tell me more carefully, especially their conversation or something." That Zhao Guiren is well-behaved, Concubine Li Xian is scheming, presumably Concubine Li Xian must have bullied Zhao Guiren. I'll go tell the Queen Mother, and by the way, I'll tell Concubine Li Xian. ”

The noble concubine was worried about not living in the palace, and she had little contact with Concubine Li Xian, so she had no chance to sue her, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon.

Xue couldn't laugh or cry.

Zhao Guiren is well-behaved?

Not necessarily.

It's just that the noble concubine is too disgusted with Concubine Li Xian, so she likes people who are hostile to Concubine Li Xian more and more, as the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend.

"I don't know the specifics, it's all Zhao Guiren."

Xue briefly described it, and then added, "If there is anything wrong, maybe I remember it, you better take it and tell the Queen Mother leisurely." ”

"Don't worry."

The concubine raised her eyebrows proudly, "It's better for you to remember the difference, and when I talk to the Queen Mother, I will also say that I remember the difference, so even if I add any oil and vinegar, the Queen Mother can't say that I did it on purpose." ”

Xue: "......"

Is it really good that you expose your inner little Jiujiu in front of your daughter-in-law?

The noble concubine didn't care what the Xue family thought, she didn't even care about entertaining her at the moment, and she was about to go to see Su Youyi in a hurry.

Xue saw that it was not early, and he couldn't persuade the concubine, so he had to say goodbye first.

When the concubine arrived at Su Youyi's courtyard, even the lights in the house were on.

It was dark early in autumn, and the figures inside were reflected in the window, it seemed that Su Youyi and Ji Yushen were reading and discussing.

The noble concubine slandered a sentence What is so good about books, these two people get together and don't say that they do some things like a snowstorm, the Chengri family is either reading books or composing poems, and then discussing the court situation and war.

It's so boring.

She stepped up her steps, and Duofu saw her with sharp eyes, a little surprised, "Please concubine, why did your concubine come here at this time?" ”

"I have a few words I want to say to the Queen Mother."

The noble concubine said, glanced at the figure reflected in the window, and said with a smile: "If it's inconvenient, then I'll come back tomorrow, and I'm not in a hurry anyway." ”

Duofu also saw what she was referring to, and then smiled: "I don't think it's inconvenient, we are preparing to set up a meal here, and before the meal, the Queen Mother and Mr. Ji will read a book or something." The slave went in and said goodbye, and the concubine waited. ”

"Hey."

The noble concubine replied and turned her head to look at the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

After Duofu went in to report, he walked out after a while, "Gui Taifei, please come in." ”

Su Youyi has a close relationship with Concubine Gui and others, and they live together in the Imperial Garden, if it weren't for the fact that it was late today and the man Ji Yushen was still inside, Concubine Gui could even go in without reporting.

Su Youyi saw her, which was also expected.

When she walked in, Su Youyi and Ji Yushen had already collected the books, and the two sat on the couch, Su Youyi raised her hand and motioned for the concubine to sit down at the round table opposite.

"Queen Mother, coming here so late won't bother you, right?"

"It's okay, I haven't had dinner yet, it's not too late."

Su Youyi said: "What's the matter, my sister is running here?" I heard that the second princess came out of the palace today, and came by the way, are you going back at this moment? ”

"I went back, because it was too late, she didn't dare to disturb the Queen Mother, so she said that she would come to the Queen Mother next time to say goodbye."

The noble concubine explained for the Xue family, and then opened the text, "I simply said it bluntly, today I came to ask the Queen Mother for a favor." ”
