After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 271 Divine Mother
With the aunt present, Concubine Lin Gui, the adoptive mother, naturally had nothing to say.She looked coldly at the empress dowager who was in a good mood, with an imperceptible sneer on her lips.

The Empress Dowager and Empress Chen didn't notice Lin Guifei's subtle expression, but Xiao Jingheng did.

He immediately took a step forward, smiled and said to Concubine Lin Gui: "Concubine Mu's complexion is much better today than it was a few days ago."

They didn't pay respects according to the rules, but it was just a greeting like polite words, but the intimacy was immediately apparent.Xiao Jingheng's scale was precise, and the ordinary greetings could make Lin Guifei smile immediately, but he did not appear too intimate, so as not to make the empress dowager jealous.

Xiao Jingheng is reciprocating the favor.

Concubine Lin Gui worked so hard for her daughter-in-law to enter the palace, of course Xiao Jingheng wanted to give her enough face in front of Empress Chen.

"Sure enough! Heng'er is right, you are in good spirits today." The Empress Dowager looked carefully at Concubine Lin Gui, nodded in agreement: "Ai Jia remembers that you have bitter summers every summer, and you always have three months in summer. It's uncomfortable to be in trouble at both ends of the sky."

"What the empress dowager said is true." Concubine Lin Gui was also very kind, and immediately smiled and said, "The concubine suffered from heat stroke a few days ago. However, the herbal tea prescription prescribed by the imperial hospital a few days ago is particularly effective, and it is better than those in previous years. Heat soup medicine is even better. It's sweet and delicious. The concubine ordered people to boil a lot today, and I was thinking of taking advantage of the heat at noon to bring some to your empress!"

"You have a heart." The empress dowager nodded perfunctorily, and casually said some polite words.There are many concubines bought in front of her in this way on weekdays, and she has long been used to it.

"Empress," Concubine Lin looked at Empress Chen with a smile: "The concubine has also taken your share! I will send someone to Weiyang Palace later."

In front of the Empress Dowager, Empress Chen couldn't show Lin Guifei's face, so she had no choice but to respond lightly.But Empress Chen doesn't want to cause trouble, it doesn't mean others don't want to.Concubine Lin Guifei sat next to the row of young concubines, and none of them was worry-free. They usually competed for favor and jealousy, and bullied each other. This was just a normal operation. When encountering such an opportunity, how could no one speak up?

"The imperial concubine really has a heart." Wei Cairen, who was being favored recently, immediately seized the opportunity to say: "However, my concubine knows that the empress is not feeling well recently, and the imperial doctor is telling me that I need to use some warm-tempered medicinal herbs to nourish her body." The imperial concubine is sending herbal tea here at this time, but it is too inopportune."

Wei Cairen has not been in the palace for a long time, she is young and fresh, and has been favored by the emperor recently, but she has only been in the palace for a short time, her foundation is not deep, and her family background is not particularly noble, so she is eager to find a backer in the harem.

Today's release, it is obvious that Wei Cairen is using the herbal tea as an excuse, and wants to step on Concubine Lin Gui to buy it from Queen Chen.

"It's not suitable for empresses to use herbal tea, it's just for appreciating people." Concubine Lin Gui smiled slightly. She has been a favorite concubine for many years, and such small troubles can't catch her eyes: "The herbal tea brewed in my palace today is more than talented." Everyone has a share, and people will be sent to the palaces to deliver it in the afternoon. Wei Cairen, you said that all the palaces have them, how could I leave out the empress only?"

In a word, Wei Cairen had no words to say, she was stealing a lot of money, she could only blush, but she couldn't find a word to refute.

And the empress dowager is used to seeing these little quarrels between concubines and concubines, so she doesn't bother to care about them.But he didn't expect that Xiao Jingheng, who was present today, seized the opportunity again to give his daughter-in-law a sense of presence.

"Mother Concubine," Xiao Jingheng said with a smile: "Since this herbal tea is so good, I want to ask you for a reward! Our Jing'er is also very afraid of heat. When it comes to summer, we always have a bad appetite. This herbal tea Mother and concubine, why don't you give Jing'er a share, and I thank you in advance."

"You child, what is this?" Concubine Lin Gui was of course very cooperative, she immediately smiled and said, "It is enough to send the inner eunuch out of the palace for a trip, and it is worth your thanks."

"The prince really loves the concubine!" Another concubine sighed.

Originally an ordinary sentence of emotion, who would have thought that it would provoke a cold snort from the empress dowager: "This man hasn't entered the palace yet, and you just think about it every day. I know, let's talk about your young couple's feelings." Well, those who don’t know, thought you married a Buddha!”

"I feel sorry for my wife, isn't it the duty of a husband?" Xiao Jingheng replied with a good-tempered smile: "My mother was not feeling well a few days ago, so didn't my father send Director Qi to Weiyang Palace every other day to say hello?"

When Xiao Jingheng said these few words, the others were still calm, but Miss Chen Jiu, who had been sitting silently beside Empress Chen, raised her head and looked at Xiao Jingheng with burning eyes.

Empress Chen noticed Miss Chen Jiu's eyes almost immediately, she immediately nodded encouragingly to her niece, then turned her head to Xiao Jingheng and said: "If you are free today, please sit down for a while, it is rare that the weather is cool today, Queen Mother You are in a good mood, you sit here for a while longer, have lunch with your imperial grandmother, and then go to the Sizheng Palace."

Hehe...are you free?Xiao Jingheng had to practice martial arts every morning, and he got up very early. Usually, after class in the morning, he took advantage of the lunch break to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and then went to Concubine Lin's Chengxiang Hall after school in the afternoon.

Most of the time, Xiao Jingheng would not stay with the Empress Dowager for dinner, and he rarely had dinner at Chengxiang Palace, but today...it seems that he has to stay.

Empress Chen had figured it out, he couldn't refuse it, everyone in the palace didn't know that the courtiers who gave lectures in the afternoon had to have lunch before going to the Sizheng Palace!
"Of course I'm free." Although Xiao Jingheng was unwilling in his heart, he still had a gentle smile on his face: "Grandmother, how about grandson staying in Shou'an Palace to eat with you today?"

Xiao Jingheng wanted to stay for dinner, the Empress Dowager was naturally very happy, and urged the maids to pass on the message, and changed the lunch to Xiao Jingheng's favorite dishes.

Empress Chen watched the Empress Dowager busy giving instructions to Zhang Luo, and when the old lady calmed down, she slowly stood up and bowed to the Empress Dowager: "Queen Mother, since the prince is here to accompany you, I will take my leave first. "

"Okay! Okay!" The Empress Dowager nodded cheerfully at Empress Chen, and waved at the other concubines, "You guys should leave too. You've been sitting all morning. You're so tired. Go back and have a rest." Bar."

After the empress dowager spoke, all the concubines stood up to salute, Concubine Lin had no choice but to stand up, and bid farewell to the empress dowager with everyone.

At this moment, Empress Chen, who was standing at the forefront, suddenly spoke again: "My queen, the prince will go back to the Sizheng Hall to study after lunch. It's hot in the afternoon. The imperial doctor said that in this weather, the nap time is too long. You are not in good health. Erchen left Yun'er here with the young ladies of the Yang family, talking with you to relieve boredom and drive away sleepiness in the afternoon."

　——Here is the dividing line of Empress Chen——
　　Empress Chen hated Xiao Jingheng from the very beginning.She had known about Su's and the emperor's affairs for a long time.Therefore, compared with Concubine Lin Gui and Concubine Li, she felt more complicated when she saw Xiao Jingheng.

　　She was actually reluctant to push her niece to Xiao Hengheng, but whether she wanted to or not was one thing, but whether she would do it or not was another.
