Chapter 39 It Looks Like We're One Step Late

The words came to an abrupt end here, and the empress dowager's calm eyes instantly became unsettled, and she looked straight at Gu Yunjian.

Gu Yunjian's eyes were indifferent, as usual, just smiling.

But this smile obviously means that he knows something, but he just doesn't say it.

Finally, the queen mother said slowly: "I have been feeling unwell recently, even if I want to help, I'm afraid I will be powerless. As for Miss Shen's entry into the palace as a concubine, the fifteen princes are reasonable. The palace didn't say it."

Shen Qingshuang and Gu Yunjian bid farewell to the Queen Mother, and left Xiangning Palace one after the other.

As soon as he went out, he saw Shen Qinglang and Shen Qingyan surrounding him, looking up, down, left, and right at his sister, and he was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.

"Let's go out of the palace first." Gu Yun said, "You can't stay in a place of right and wrong for long.

The Shen brothers and sisters nodded and walked towards the palace gate.

After walking for a while, she ran into Concubine Xian and Yuping who came in a hurry. As soon as she saw Shen Qingshuang, Concubine Xian took her hand: "Are you all right, girl? That old woman, did the Queen Mother make things difficult for you? I He Yuping had just returned to the palace, and when Yier said you were here, he hurried over."

Glancing at Gu Yunjian, he said bitterly, "It seems that we are one step too late."

Gu Yunjian smiled and said, "It's the same whether it's early or late, as long as Qingshuang is fine."

Concubine Xian nodded, thinking that she had come here, if she didn't enter Xiangning Palace, it would be a waste of time to come.

Before the Empress Dowager could take back her stern eyes, she saw Concubine Xian arriving in a stately manner.

A cursory look showed that the woman's complexion had improved, she was rosy, she was nearly forty next year, and she looked like she was in her early thirties.

"The concubine sees the queen mother."

That saluting and joyful voice made the queen mother even more troubled, and said "um", "my sister is weak, please get up!"

Concubine Xian was also polite, she stood up with Yuping's hand in her arms, found a chair and sat down directly.

"Seeing the Empress Dowager so late, didn't it bother you?" She brushed her hair at the temples, her eyes full of smiles.

The Empress Dowager said in a muffled voice: "My sister was joking, it's too late for me to be happy. It will be my sister's birthday in a few days, and it hasn't been lively for a long time."

Concubine Xian smiled even more happily when she heard the words: "Yes, time is so fast. In a blink of an eye, my concubine is 38 years old. People are old and affectionate. These days, my concubine will dream of the empress dowager treating my concubine when she first entered the palace. Chen Qie still remembers that Chen Qie was only 16 years old when she first entered the palace, and the Empress Dowager was 26 years old at that time, she taught everything carefully, and this is how Chen Qie is today."

After being softly threatened by Gu Yunjian, and listening to Concubine Xian's words that were neither yin nor yang, the Queen Mother only felt a tightness in her chest.

This damned woman said so much nonsense, just to say that she was ten years older than her.

Subconsciously touched her hair, although Jinfeng didn't say anything when she dressed her every day, she knew that the gray hair could no longer be covered.

"My sister came here just to say these things?" Suppressing her anger, she said calmly.

Concubine Xian still had a smile on her face, and seemed to be laughing more happily.

"Empress Dowager, every Yingying and Yanyan in this harem is young and lively, and the only one who can talk to you is your old man."

She slapped her lips lightly, "Look at me, the queen mother is so beautiful, how can she be an old man? It's only the concubines who look old! Not only are they old, but their health is not good."

The queen mother couldn't see it, she really wanted God to accept this evildoer as soon as possible!

"I see that my sister's body has recovered, so where is the sickness?"

Concubine Xian was even happier, she quickly stood up and saluted again.

"The empress dowager speaks well, and the concubine will borrow your auspicious words. It is strange to say that since the last time the queen mother visited the concubine in Shou'an Palace, the concubine felt comfortable all over. Yuping said that the concubine looked like a good person. So the concubine My concubine has always said that the Queen Mother is the noble person in my concubine's life."

noble?

The Queen Mother swears that she does not want to know this pretentious dead woman at all.If it wasn't for affection, he didn't want her to step into Xiangning Palace at all.

Concubine Xian had a panoramic view of her anger, not to mention how happy she was.

After signaling to Yuping, Yuping hurriedly took out a food box.

"Empress Dowager, this is the butterfly cake brought in by my concubine from outside the palace. It was recommended by that girl Qingshuang. The concubine thought it was delicious and wanted to share it with the queen mother. Try it!"

The Empress Dowager just looked at it and didn't eat it. Seeing this, Concubine Xian picked up a piece and ate it first: "Don't worry, Empress Dowager, my concubine's heart for you is clear, and I will definitely not be double-faced and kind-hearted like some people with ulterior motives. Using methods in secret."

The queen mother looked at her suspiciously, did this dead woman mean herself?
But her eyes were sincere, and she signaled to her while eating that if she didn't eat it, she would be a villain.

He bitterly took a bite, the fragrance remained on his teeth and cheeks, it was not bad, he ate up a piece directly.

Concubine Xian said: "If the Empress Dowager likes it, the concubine will bring you something delicious when she finds it."

"You have a heart."

Concubine Xian smiled: "It's Qingshuang who has the heart. Whenever she finds something delicious and interesting, she will be filial to her concubine. Queen Mother, what do you think if she marries us Jinhao?"

Only then did the queen mother know the real reason for her coming, the protector is here!
Smiling slightly: "It's good if you look good. It's just that the little girl has won the favor of many people, and Jin Hao's chances seem to be slim."

Concubine Xian also smiled slightly: "This just shows that the concubine has a good vision. Oh, the queen mother looks very tired, she should rest earlier to take care of herself, and the concubine will leave first."

After gracefully paying her farewell, Concubine Xian walked out of the palace gracefully with Yuping.

The empress dowager's eyes flashed with hatred, and with a strong wave, the food box was knocked over to the ground.

The pieces of butterfly crisps flew everywhere like fluttering butterflies.

After returning to Shou'an Palace, Yuping saw that Concubine Xian was unhappy, so he poured her a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager speaks like that, don't take it to heart."

Concubine Xian sighed, eyes full of regret: "It's a pity that my box of butterfly cakes is gone. Yuping, you go out of the palace tomorrow and buy some back."

Yuping: "."

After arriving at Shen's residence, Shen Qingshuang told everything about Xiangning Palace, Shen Nanfang was furious.

"Let you enter the palace as a concubine? Are you kidding me?"

Shen Qinglang said in a deep voice: "The Emperor is flirtatious and moody, don't even think about it!"

"What a good place is the imperial palace, there are so many dirty things all day long. Dad, why don't you find a marriage for your younger sister and marry her, so as not to be missed by others!"

These were the words of Shen Qingshu, and Shen Qingyan praised them as soon as he uttered them.

"Father, what do you think of Yunjian? If it wasn't for him tonight, Qingshuang might not be able to escape."

Gu Yunjian's face flushed slightly, he was willing, but he didn't know her intentions, it wouldn't be good if she was abrupt, so he glanced at Shen Qingyan.

Shen Qingyan thought he was giving him affirmation and hints, so he hurriedly moved to his sister's side: "What do you think?"

Without even thinking about it, Shen Qingshuang said: "Of course not, what a bad idea! Besides, the Queen Mother has already given up, so why bother to affect Brother Yunjian's marriage? You don't have to cheat friends like this!"

In fact, Gu Yunjian wanted to say that he was very happy, but since the goddess has no intentions, let's wait until she does.

Shen Nanfang also felt that his son was messing around, and Gu Yunjian was the emperor's little uncle, how could he marry a princess so casually, so he also denied it.

It was getting late, and Shen Qingshuang took the initiative to see Gu Yunjian off, which made him flattered.

When she reached the door, she saluted him: "Brother Yunjian, thank you."

Under the moonlight, Gu Yunjian's smiling face became more and more gentle.

"We're friends, we don't have to be."

Shen Qingshuang smiled, but the price he exchanged with the Queen Mother was too high.

"If it wasn't for me, you could have avenged the assassination."

She actually understood, which made him startled.

Patted her on the shoulder and smiled warmly: "It's good that you're fine. Rest early!"
