Chapter 492: Why didn’t Cen and her daughter bring them?
"The second prince and concubine brought the female relatives here today?"
Zhao Wanyi was named inexplicably, and she got up in fear, and said with blessing, "When I returned to the Queen Mother, I only took Concubine Sun with me."
The Queen Mother frowned dissatisfied, "Why are Concubine Li and her daughter not here? The Ai family remembers that there is a concubine named Cen in the second son's house. She seems to have given birth to a daughter at the border. The Ai family has never seen her once!"
Zhao Wanyi's heart tightened, her hands under the sheath unconsciously clenched into fists, and her head hung lower, "Your Majesty, it's not that grandson-in-law doesn't want to bring them here, it's just that Jing'er caught the cold a while ago, and Concubine Li is day and night. Taking care of the children, looking haggard and afraid to go out
The concubine Cen is of low status, as young as a child, and there is no call from the palace. The granddaughter-in-law does not dare to take them out of the palace on her own initiative. If the queen mother wants to see her, the granddaughter-in-law will have someone go back and bring them. ”
The fourth princess on the side was not happy, "Second sister-in-law, you said that! The purpose of the New Year is to be harmonious and happy. What's wrong with just bringing two more into the palace? Your maid can do it, concubine." Can’t take her with her? No matter how much Cen has done for the royal family, how can she be compared with ordinary concubines?”
The third prince's concubine nodded seriously, "Second sister-in-law, I'm not telling you that you are really not as good as the fourth brother and sister in this regard. Look, which year did the fourth brother and sister not bring Gao's mother and son to the palace banquet on New Year's Eve? This is the only day that they can do all year round. Why didn’t you consider entering the palace to pay your respects to the Queen Mother?”
Zhao Wanyi was furious, but she didn't dare to show it.
The second prince withdrew his gaze from Shen Tian and glanced at the third and fourth children coldly.
The third and fourth princes glared back provocatively, showing no fear at all.
The Queen Mother watched their every move and glanced at Aunt Gui aside, "What time is it?"
"It's just past time."
The Queen Mother slowly lowered her eyes and ordered without saltiness: "Go to the second son's house and bring the concubine Li and the concubine Cen and their daughter."
The second prince's expression changed slightly. He was worried that Cen Mingxue and his daughter would be suspected, so he kept winking at Zhao Wanyi.
Zhao Wanyi was so angry that she pretended not to notice the second prince's little move.
Shen Tian and Murong Chen sat aside with their children in their arms, acting as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
The eldest princess of Huai'an coveted the little baby in Shen Tian's arms. She came over and took the baby without saying a word. She held it in her arms and kissed her for a long time, "Mother, look at Zuo Zuo, this child doesn't recognize birth and laughs when teased! ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression really improved a lot. She looked at the child with loving eyes and said, "He is very cute! If it weren't for the poor energy of the Ai family, they would have wanted to take this child over and raise it."
Half of the people in the hall looked at Murong Chen and his wife in astonishment.
However, he saw the two of them eating melon seeds and whispering to each other in a low-key manner, which was out of tune with them.
The third prince's concubine was jealous, "Concubine Shen's life is much more comfortable than ours."
They, the main concubines, can't live as well as a concubine. It's really hilarious!
Shen Tian blinked innocently and stood up to greet the third princess, "Third sister-in-law, look at your outfit, and then look at mine. I have what I have on my desk, and you also have it. Why is Third Sister-in-law uncomfortable? What if? Third sister-in-law doesn’t want to eat melon seeds, so I can peel my body off for you.”
Princess Huai'an couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The fourth prince's concubine looked at the third prince's concubine in surprise. She couldn't understand what kind of behavior the third prince's family was doing. What should he do to the sixth concubine if she had nothing to do?
In her opinion, Concubine Shen is the least threatening woman in this house. Firstly, Lao Liu can't compete with her. Secondly, Concubine Shen is just Lao Liu's concubine. She is from a low background and cannot get on the stage anywhere. She is the only one who can win. The one who took action was to give birth to two sons.
But so what? They were still young, but it wasn't like they couldn't have children. Moreover, her concubine, Mrs. Gao, also had a son. If things didn't work out, she could adopt one.
The third prince's concubine was so angry that she stared at him for a long time. She looked at the sixth prince Murong Chen and said, "Sixth prince, you should marry a serious concubine. Otherwise, our sisters-in-law will tell you something." I can't even make it!" Princess Huai'an was displeased and was about to speak.
Shen Tian immediately shook her head at her.
Murong Chen smiled lightly and said: "If third sister-in-law has any important matters, you can tell me. I don't need third sister-in-law to worry about the matters in my house."
"You"
"Mother Gui, go see if the second concubine and concubine are here." The Queen Mother interrupted the third prince's concubine.
The fourth prince's concubine hurriedly pulled the third prince's concubine, who looked unwilling.
When everyone talked about other topics, the fourth prince complained in a low voice to the third prince, "Why are you arguing with the sixth concubine? Don't you see that the sixth concubine is so precious to Shen? Besides, Shen is the queen mother. The queen and the queen were chosen by Lao Liu. Did you just say that to slap the queen mother and the queen in the face? "
The expression of the third prince's concubine changed, and she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
The fourth princess couldn't help but shake her head when she saw her like that, "Third sister-in-law, the second sister-in-law held a flower-viewing banquet to target the Shen family before. What happened? The Queen Mother punished her. Why don't you have a long memory?"
"I was just so angry that I forgot about it!" The third prince and concubine twisted the veil uneasily.
The fourth princess sighed helplessly, "Find a reason to say a few nice words to Mrs. Shen later, and this matter will be treated as if it has been revealed. If you want to help the third child fight, you have to build a good relationship with the sixth concubine. You see."

The third prince's concubine looked along the line of sight of the fourth prince's concubine, and happened to see the Queen Mother Huai'an, the eldest princess, and the sixth prince's concubines talking and laughing together.
Not a polite and perfunctory smile, but one that comes from the heart.
She thought she couldn't do it. Even if the sixth prince's concubine was pretending, she had to admire her acting skills.
From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the second princess sitting quietly beside her.
A strange feeling flashed through the third prince's heart, "What do you think happened to the second child's family today? Doesn't she hate the Shen family the most? Why didn't she help just now?"
The fourth prince's concubine also looked puzzled, "She has been distracted ever since she was questioned by the Queen Mother. She doesn't know what she is thinking."
"Tell me, are you afraid that Concubine Li and Cen will file a lawsuit? I heard that the second family was dissatisfied with Cen. When they first returned to the imperial capital, they were tripped up. I don't know if they were tortured. It’s so bad!”
"No way! No matter how good the second son's family is, they can't be that confused! Besides, I heard that Mr. Cen is very favored. Wouldn't the second son protect her?"
The two women looked at the second prince Murong Xu, and saw that this guy had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him a look.
The third princess trembled with lingering fear, "Why do I feel that my second child is weird! My Highness has not provoked him recently! What about your family?"
The fourth princess shook her head.
When the two women were puzzled, Concubine Li took her daughter Murong Jing, and Cen Mingxue took her daughter Murong Ru into the hall.
Murong Xu and his wife both changed their faces when they saw them.
The queen mother's raised lips were so frightened that she knocked over the hot tea because she saw the four people clearly.
The eldest princess of Huai'an exclaimed and hurriedly asked the palace officials to clean up the situation. She took the Queen Mother aside and looked at Concubine Li and her daughter in surprise.
