Stepmother Shaoguang

It wasn't such a heavy or tiring job to call her here, it was just serving tea and pouring water, plus shoulder massage and so on.

Others are just pretending to call their daughter-in-law sick, why do they really need to do it themselves?
But Concubine Shunde this time, leaving the maids around her alone, instead let Xiao Yan come in person for everything.

Xiao Yan has never been in the sun since she was a child, so where has she ever done a job of serving others?

In addition, Concubine Shunde deliberately put things in a difficult position, sometimes she disliked the hot tea, and sometimes she said that her massage technique was wrong, so she asked the maid next to her to show her.

After half a day, Xiao Yan was so tired that her back was sore.

After being tired all day in the palace, I still have to wash and tidy up when I return to the mansion.

Finally when it was time for dinner, I was already so hungry that I lost my appetite, and I couldn't eat after hastily using a few chopsticks.

The imperial doctor came to diagnose and treat Concubine Shunde, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He saw that Concubine De's complexion was even more ruddy than that of the sick daughter-in-law, and deliberately prescribed a prescription to dispel the fire.

Let Concubine Shunde pay attention to her diet in the near future and be careful not to get angry.

After lying down for a few days, Xiao Yan also became ill for a few days.

Concubine Shu naturally knew about it, and wanted to come over to support Xiao Yan, but was stopped by the Fifth Prince.

"Concubine Mother feels sorry for Sister Yan'er, but you have to think that Concubine De is my sister's mother-in-law! Mother-in-law is sick, so it's okay for my daughter-in-law to take care of her for a few days?
If the concubine mother went to find Concubine De's theory, the reputation of Sister Yan'er's unfilial piety would spread in the palace tomorrow. "

The fifth prince knew that her mother and concubine had never suffered any setbacks since entering the palace. He was arrogant and flamboyant, and he could only coax her to do many things.

Sister Yan'er once had the same personality.

However, he saw that sister Yan'er has become a big brother and side concubine these days, and her temperament has calmed down a lot, which is also a good thing.

Concubine Xiao Shu threw the handkerchief away irritably: "Don't let me do this or that, look at Concubine Shun! I've only been a concubine for a few days now? Her airs are shaking! Last time I asked her to let her sedan chair Go ahead, hehe..."

She stared out again, and said vigilantly: "Could it be that she thinks that she has become a concubine, and that the thing she gave birth has a chance?"

This time the fifth prince didn't speak, obviously he felt that Concubine Shunde's temper was not as mild as before.

And although Concubine De would laugh when she saw him recently, she was not as cautious as before.

Concubine Shu immediately became dissatisfied: "What is she? In the past more than ten years, there was no such thing as a person in the palace, and now you dare to think about the throne?"

"Okay, concubine mother!" The fifth prince was most afraid that she would get angry like this in the palace, "Keep your voice down, you will be heard by others later."

"Got it, got it." Concubine Xiao Shu lost her temper, but she was still depressed.

Recently, the saint has become more and more wary of their family.

There is also Luo Yunde who exposed the fact that King Yan gave gifts to officials in the court hall. King Yan was criticized by the sage for being unworthy, and chose a day to go to Beijing to report on his duties and plead guilty.

The officials involved, if the circumstances are serious, have been suspended for investigation.

Many of them were supporters of their own sons, who had previously proposed candidates for the crown prince.

I don't know if the saint did it on purpose, did he notice something?
On such a long afternoon, in the palace of unfavored concubines, the maids leaned against the door to snooze and take a nap.

In the main hall lives the current concubine Shunde.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep on the soft pillow. Xiao Yan sat on the lower ottoman and pinched her calf.

"Young man, you have a quick temper." After a long period of silence, Concubine Shunde sighed, "I watched you grow up. When your aunt first entered the palace, she hadn't been favored by saints. I also saw her Because of her beauty, she was made things difficult by the arrogant queen at that time."

Xiao Yan lowered her head and listened quietly, her hands kept moving.

"At that time, the empress was too impatient, and she acted too obviously, and lost her holy will. The saint loved Concubine Shu, and was promoted to the concubine in two years. After giving birth to the fifth child, she became one of the fourth concubines, so she could be on her side. Protect the child while fighting the queen."

"Concubine Shu is now the queen, and Concubine Yu is your aunt back then. Your aunt is also impatient, and she used to be a bit restrained. Since the fifth child has gained momentum, she has become even more shameless."

Concubine Shunde commented on Concubine Shu in front of Xiao Yan, and her words were not very pleasant.

Among them, there are many court secrets that Xiao Yan has never heard of.

She was somewhat embarrassed to listen to the elders' gossip.

"I've been here these few days, why don't you talk to your aunt when you're tired?"

Concubine Shunde's words were asking why she didn't complain to Concubine Xiao Shu?
However, Concubine Xiao Shu listened to all directions in the palace and had a lot of eyeliners. She should have known about this trivial matter within an hour.

She didn't come to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, not only because Xiao Yan didn't go to complain, but also because someone else persuaded her.

Otherwise, based on the "frivolity" she has shown in the past few days, and the precious niece who tortured her, she would have killed her long ago.

"It's a daughter-in-law's duty to serve you, your mother." Xiao Yan lowered her head.

"You are not sincere in what you said." Concubine Shunde smiled slightly, and the years had left some wrinkles on her face, adding to the charm of maturity, "If you really treat me as a mother-in-law and respect me, why don't you call me concubine mother? ?”

Xiao Yan was at a loss for words, she never thought that she really belonged to the palace.

"Since you have entered the palace, you are a part of the family. No matter how close the relationship is outside, only the palace will be prosperous with you, and you will be harmed by every loss."

……

With King Zheng sitting in the palace, Princess Zheng went out of confinement smoothly, and her complexion improved a lot.

Brother Cong, also under the careful care and feeding of the nanny, his complexion has become a bit ruddy, although it is still a little far behind compared to his peers.

But when Concubine Zheng hugged him, she wouldn't be so tight as before that she couldn't do anything.

Drived away a bunch of cooks who served her, although King Zheng didn't tell her why, but he stuffed someone into Xiao Yan's yard again, and Princess Zheng guessed a little bit.

The envy and bitterness towards Xiao Yan in her heart turned into the pain and hatred of being murdered.

She didn't know that Concubine Xiao Shu was instigating behind the scenes, she only saw Xiao Yan, so she decided that she was the one who harmed herself and the child.

"Speaking of which, it's still Uncle He's daughter, and now General Lu's wife has discovered something is wrong."

Gao Shi and his mother Zheng Shi were talking privately.

Mrs. Zheng was the blessed lady who combed He Shaoguang's hair when she got married.

"Your father and Mr. He are old friends. They were classmates in the past. You should have known each other since you were young. The handkerchief was handed over."

Mrs. Zheng talked about the past, "It's not your father, an old fritter, who regrets playing chess if he loses. Your Uncle He is the most upright character, otherwise you wouldn't have offended that one...

Your father was angry with others for several years and forbade me to walk around with the He family.Come to think of it, you are all grown up and have different temperaments, and if you can't play together anymore, you don't force it. "

"Walking around, it was actually Shaoguang who helped you."
