idle mistress

Chapter 55
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and it's Xu Weiqiu's favorite season...autumn.

In the past six months, because of keeping up with nutrition, she has raised a lot, and her visual height is 170 or 167 instead of 8. The feminine characteristics are also more obvious, and the complexion is good, and the whole person looks youthful and beautiful.

Seeing her slim appearance, Mrs. Zhang tried repeatedly to persuade her to find a matchmaker to tell her a good family, but Xu Weiqiu always perfunctory.

For her now, making money is the kingly way. She set up a store next to the vegetable market in Lanyang City to sell groceries, started a small business, and became her proprietress——
The autumn wind was pleasant, and Concubine Qin was dozing off while lying on the imperial concubine chair. A court lady raised the curtain and came in, knelt on the ground and whispered to her, "Mrs.

Concubine Qin raised her eyes slightly, with impatience written all over her face: "What is she doing here? I'm afraid she won't go to the Three Treasures Hall if she has nothing to do? I don't have the time to spend time with her, so let her go back."

"Your Majesty." The palace maid Pearl's face was full of embarrassment, and she persuaded: "It's rare for the empress to come here, and it would be bad if she refuted her favor to the emperor."

Concubine Qin sat up straight, and said very maturely and solemnly: "My old woman has lived most of her life, but she has never been afraid of anyone? Go, drive her away..."

"Yes!" Pearl didn't dare to refute any more, she bowed her body and was about to retreat.

At this time, Concubine Qin suddenly changed her mind: "Forget it, let her in, I want to see what kind of moth this woman comes up with to torment people."

Not long after Pearl left, a very distinguished middle-aged woman wearing a phoenix crown came in, and saluted Qin Taifei with a smile: "The concubine has seen the concubine mother."

Concubine Qin also changed her disdainful expression just now, and greeted her with a smile: "Come... come... take your seat quickly, why does the empress come to my old woman's place?"

The two sat opposite each other and exchanged some polite words.

"The last time the concubine was ill, the sage was always thinking about it. Today, my concubine seems to be looking much better..."

Concubine Qin was not modest either, she took it for granted and said: "It's all the merits of the old man who has been eating fast and reciting Buddha for many years."

The queen agrees on the surface, but secretly ridicules in her heart: it is true to recite the Buddha's name, but eating fast is not just what happened in the past six months, as if she thinks she doesn't know, how can she be so arrogant?

"The queen should go to the temple to burn incense when she has time. When a person reaches middle age, he should accumulate virtue for his descendants. This person, what he sows will reap the same fruit."

The queen nodded with a smile: "The concubine mother taught me..."

The two women talked to each other seemingly in a normal way, but in fact, the situation was undercurrent.

The two chattered, and the queen finally stated the purpose of the trip lightly: "Recently, the emperor heard that Prince Cheng's son was acting absurdly, and he let a vicious dog bite the young master of Guangwuhou's family."

Concubine Qin pretended to be confused and said: "Really, there are other things like this? Why don't I know, where did the Queen hear about it?"

The queen nodded slightly: "The concubine didn't hear the news, this Guangwuhou has sued the emperor."

The fat on Concubine Qin's face twitched.

The queen went on to say:
"Prince Sheng's son is already twenty-one this year, and I think he is used to wandering around on weekdays. The concubine has discussed with the Holy Master, thinking that his mother and concubine can point out a marriage for him, so that someone can control him."

When Concubine Qin heard this, her heart immediately sank, and she agreed without showing any emotion in her heart.

Seeing that the purpose of this trip had been accomplished, the Queen found an excuse to leave Rui'an Palace.

The spices were burning on the table, and the fragrance was permeating. Concubine Qin looked at the white smoke above the incense burner with a solemn face, feeling mixed feelings in her heart.

Yan'er has already passed the marriageable period, and he has not given him the officiant marriage so that the middle palace will not criticize him.

Now that the empress handed over the right to choose a concubine, she must have wanted to test herself. If she pointed out a spouse with a prominent family background to Yan'er, it would definitely arouse the emperor's fear and suspicion, so as to give her a chance to sow discord.

This central palace has a very scheming mind. In this harem, this old man has been oppressing him, and he can't hold back anymore. He wants to put himself to death over and over again.

The last time she wanted to murder herself, but she took the opportunity to pull down her natal family's cronies, this woman probably hated herself so much.

These days, every step of the way has to be done with care.

Today's holy majesty is very suspicious. If he makes a wrong step, I'm afraid...?
She still has lingering fears when she thinks about the incident 20 years ago, and she never wants to experience that feeling of powerlessness again.

She is the concubine of the current dynasty, from a famous family and a prominent family background, and she was already a famous talented woman before entering the palace.

Marrying into the palace with the title of the most talented woman in the world, she won the favor of the late emperor Enpang and the empress dowager at the same time.

However, the biggest regret is that no matter how many saints she got, she failed to give birth to a son and a half for the late emperor.

The empress dowager felt sorry for her, and after she passed away due to illness, she entrusted the two princes from the main palace to her to be raised.

Today's sage is the prince at that time. The prince back then was ruthless. In order to fight for the reserve position, he exhausted all means and killed almost all his brothers.

Although he was very skillful and performed superbly, the late emperor who lost his son one after another gradually noticed the clues. He didn't want to hand over the country to such a vicious son, so he moved Yi Chu's heart.

As the imperial concubine and the adoptive mother of the prince, she saw all of this. She knew that the prince had already set up his eyes and ears by the late emperor's side. At the same time, she was wary of her younger brother, Prince Sheng. Even brothers and sisters are not immune to a brutal killing.

The two brothers were brought up by her own hands, and the palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh. In order to protect the two, Concubine Qin thought about it, and finally decided to personally persuade the then Prince Sheng to give up the fight for the heir.

Prince Sheng originally planned to compete with his brother, but he couldn't handle her as a mother and concubine, so on his own birthday, he rode on a fast horse and pretended to fall off the horse.

At that time, I just wanted to put on a show, pretending to be a lame for a year and a half.If the body is disabled, it will naturally lose the right to inherit the great line. When the first emperor dismissed the idea, the crown prince naturally also let go of his guard.

However, no one thought that the horse had already been tampered with by the prince. After the prince fell off the horse, the usually obedient and obedient mount ran around like crazy.Since then, not only has one leg been lame, but the ability to carry on the family line has also been damaged.

Prince Sheng left the stage sadly, knowing in his heart that it was the prince who did the tricks, but he also resented Princess Qin who had advised him at the time.

Over the years, this has also become a wound in Qin Taifei's heart. When she thinks of her adopted son who is away, she feels very guilty.
