Chapter 93 Hidden Mystery
Cui Xiu felt the gaze from the queen, and she had no intention of avoiding it. She looked directly at the queen with a somewhat respectful smile on her face.
Cui Xiu could probably guess what the queen was thinking, which was why she didn't take the initiative to help Ning Bin. In fact, she had already answered this answer.
It’s just that the Empress is in charge of the central government and is so busy with affairs that she doesn’t have time to care about the things she does.
Because of Ning Bin's negligence that day, the fifth prince had a high fever and almost burned out his brain. She gave Ning Bin a severe lesson.
Everyone felt that she cared too much, or was resentful of Ning Bin, so she looked for opportunities to retaliate. Anyway, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she and Ning Bin were not that good.
As for why Ning Bin was not hostile to her, she was still smiling and sticking to her side. Others didn't know why, but she, Cui Xiu, still knew.
It’s just for the fifth prince.
Cui Xiu is too lazy to care about the fifth prince and Ning Bin now. She has warned when she should and insinuated when she should. As long as Ning Bin’s behavior is not excessive, Cui Xiu doesn’t care what she does. .
Anyway, the fifth prince is not her child. As long as he stays alive in her palace, she will still give him a bite to eat.
"The Ai family thinks that Xiaoliu's child is indeed not as energetic as our Xiaowu."
"That child is skinny, doesn't cry, makes trouble, and doesn't like to laugh."
"It's different from Xiaowu. "Be close to people."
The Queen Mother listened to the Queen's words, her eyes fell to the ground thoughtfully, and while thinking, this was her simple view of the two imperial grandchildren.
After listening to the Queen Mother's words, everyone could draw a simple and clear conclusion, that is, between the fifth prince and the sixth prince, she was more partial to the fifth prince.
To be loved by the Queen Mother is a great blessing for concubines like them.
Although the Queen Mother is now in charge of the Central Government, as long as the Queen Mother is still there, the Queen will be inferior to others. If there is any big event, you still have to ask the Queen Mother to see it first.
"Concubine Jia, you must take good care of this child."
"You must also bring this to the Ai family often and show it to the Ai family."
"You Do you know? ”
As the Queen Mother spoke, she pointed at Cui Xiu. Cui Xiu's eyes with a slight smile shifted from the Queen Mother's face to the Queen Mother's face.
"I have written it down."
"I will definitely bring the fifth prince here from now on."
Cui Xiu remembered that the previous empress dowager treated the fifth prince very well. Favorite, maybe Ning Bin taught the fifth prince a lot of ways to please others in private. After all, the fifth prince is the emperor's son, and he only needs to please the queen mother a little.
The Queen Mother's heart softened. She would try her best to give the fifth prince anything he wanted. Even if the fifth prince wanted stars or the moon, the Queen Mother would have to send someone to pick them. .
It doesn't matter whether you pick it or not. What matters is that whatever the Fifth Prince wants, the Queen Mother will satisfy him.
They are all relatives across generations, and this is how the fifth prince managed to please the Queen Mother.
"Okay, come here, take the fifth prince down to rest."
The Queen Mother said and called someone to take the fifth prince down, and then also asked someone to give him a rest. Ning Bin gave her a seat, and calling them here today was not to embarrass them.
We need to talk about business. As for the reason for the embarrassment, it is just to show off. They should understand in their own hearts that they should not think that they have done something special just because they gave birth to a prince. They still have to maintain their temperament without being arrogant or impetuous, and serving the emperor well is the right way for them to be concubines and concubines.
After the grandma took the fifth prince away, the Queen Mother straightened herself up, folded her hands gently in front of her, holding a long string of Buddhist beads, and her face that had softened a little before turned harsh again.
The Queen Mother and the Queen successively talked about some common things in the palace, rules and so on. They talked about these words every day, and they listened to them every day. Naturally, they were dozing in their hearts and didn't care much.
After talking for about half an hour, the Queen Mother saw that she had almost said everything, so she opened her mouth and concluded:
"Okay, this greeting is over, you all can go down."
"Queen, Concubine Jia and Madam Qiu stay."
The Queen Mother spoke, and everyone present had no intention of refuting. According to the Queen Mother's request, those who should leave should leave, and those who should stay should stay.
When Ning Bin was about to leave, she glanced at Cui Xiu, as if she wanted to stay and listen, but she also understood that if the Queen Mother did not let them listen, then that was what they could not hear.
Ning Bin thought to herself, could something happen related to Concubine Jia?
Ning Bin left with curiosity. Since she couldn't listen, she sent someone to investigate privately. This investigation would make it clear.
After everyone left, the few remaining people still sat in their original positions. No one spoke. Everyone looked at the Queen Mother, waiting for her to speak.
Of the three people they left behind, only the Queen Mother was confused. She was summoned by someone sent by the Queen Mother early this morning.
Mrs. Qiu and Cui Xiu can be said to be well aware of what the Queen Mother is going to say. After all, one was the person involved in the incident last night and the other was the controller.
Ms. Qiu never imagined that her son, who was not very promising, could actually do such a "promising" thing at her mother's birthday party, but she was really stunned.
She didn’t expect that her son really dared to do anything. He could just tease ordinary women on weekdays. As long as he didn’t go too far and didn’t cause anyone’s life, she would be afraid. You can turn a blind eye and deal with it.
But the girl who is causing trouble now is not an ordinary girl. This is the Queen Mother's biological daughter, the Emperor's biological sister, and the most difficult princess to mess with, Princess Wanning.
When Mrs. Qiu saw her worthless son hanging out with Princess Wanning, she just felt like she was struck by thunder. If it weren't for the presence of those guests, she would have fainted if she had to stand up to the scene. It's past.
Although Mrs. Qiu is the concubine’s wife, her natal family is also well-spoken in the court. As for the reason for Princess Wanning’s sudden return to Beijing, they have also spread rumors in private. .
Princess Wanning returned to Kyoto City this time not for anything else but because His Majesty thought that she was getting older and wanted to arrange a marriage for her.
If anyone can marry the princess, he is the consort and can be considered a relative of the emperor.
But even if they are princes-in-law, not many people are willing to marry the Princess of Wanning, because compared to the life of the family, a bright future is really nothing.
Anyone who has lived in Kyoto for more than three years does not know the ridiculous things that Princess Wanning has done. If you marry Princess Wanning, you will probably suffer for the rest of your life. No, maybe within a few years, this little life will be decided.
We are not fools. After weighing the pros and cons, we naturally want to stay away from Princess Wanning.
"The Ai family has called you here today because of Wanning's affairs."
"This matter has troubled the emperor and the Ai family for a long time."
