"She is also a concubine after all, His Majesty's biological mother. Why does she only focus on her daughter-in-law's dowry?"

Bai Zhi was very shameless.

What's more, chest tightness requires good rhino horn to be used as medicine.

Tsk, if you put it so bluntly, I'm afraid Ming will rob you.

"Concubine, is your heart hurt?"

As a queen, Gu Qingcheng's focus is naturally different from Bai Zhi's.

Bai Zhi only cares about her master's dowry, while Gu Qingcheng knows more and more obscure things.

"The concubine is angry with His Majesty again?"

After Gu Qingcheng thought about it for a moment, he realized what Concubine Xie was doing.

She sent people to ask for rhino horns. Of course she wanted to take advantage of her daughter-in-law, but more importantly, she wanted to tell the harem that the concubine was sick!

My chest hurts!
There are also wind-heat and internal toxins, and rhino horns are needed to calm the nerves and detoxify.

As a queen, Gu Qingcheng is also the daughter-in-law of the concubine. When her mother-in-law is sick, she naturally has to visit her in person.

As for the behavior of the original owner, Queen Gu, in the past three years, even Concubine Xie, who was confused, felt this - Queen Gu was not an ordinary daughter-in-law, and she did not pay attention to the idea of ​​​​a male leading the outside and a female leading the household.

If Mrs. Xie, the mother-in-law, dares to torment her, she can call her husband Min Huang over as "reinforcement"!
...After all the hard work, Concubine Xie was still able to achieve her goal of seeing her son.

The key is that with Empress Gu in the middle, Min Huang can't simply reject Concubine Xie's nonsense.

What a joke, Empress Gu was involved this time. If Min Huang couldn't comfort Concubine Xie properly, this confused mother-in-law would continue to make mischief.

Gu Qingcheng: ...using a daughter-in-law who doesn't take her son seriously to "blackmail" her son?
Sure enough, the top-notch brain circuit is difficult for someone as smart as Gu Qingcheng to understand.

Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is news from Ganlu Palace that Aunt Yuping did go there in the evening."

Bai Zhi didn't say whether Concubine Xie was angry with the emperor, but just stated the news sent by the palace's informant.

After listening to Gu Qingcheng's firm guess, combined with the fact that the eldest maid of Yongshou Palace had indeed been to Ganlu Palace, the "truth" is probably what Gu Qingcheng guessed.

Concubine Xie didn't know why, so she sent someone to find the emperor again.

When the emperor did not agree, Concubine Xie became "sick" and sent someone to ask for her daughter-in-law's dowry.

Bai Zhi: ...I'm quite speechless!

She is a servant of the Gu family. She is not afraid of violating taboos, and her knowledge and vision are higher than those of ordinary official ladies.

She is also the personal maid of the eldest daughter of the Gu family. She has studied with Queen Gu since she was a child, and has been influenced by Queen Gu.

Her knowledge and ability are not bad.

But she is well-informed, and this is the first time she has met someone like Concubine Xie.

Bai Zhi didn't know how to evaluate it.

Call her stupid, she came from a humble background but was able to raise her son in a turbulent harem;

Call her smart, but she always does stupid things that make people dumbfounded and dumbfounded.

The key is that Concubine Xie is the mother-in-law of her master.

Although she is not a serious mother-in-law (the Queen Mother is), she is the emperor's biological mother after all.

Just this level of blood connection forced Empress Gu to respect, give in, and endure.

More importantly, the Min family belongs to the royal family. If she were an ordinary family, she would have to thank a little mother-in-law like the concubine. The Gu family would teach her how to behave every minute.

"Oh, what a pity for my girl!"

Bai Zhi sighed silently in her heart.

"I remember there is a white rhinoceros horn in my warehouse that was sent as tribute from the Western Regions. It is most suitable for use in medicine! Angelica dahurica, please have someone fetch it!"

Gu Qingcheng didn't pay attention to Bai Zhi's speechlessness and sigh. She issued the order without hesitation.

"Change my clothes and I'll go to the Yongshou Palace!"

The cheap mother-in-law came to ask for medicinal materials in a big way. It would be inappropriate for her to pretend to be stupid.According to Queen Gu's background and capital, she does not have to beg to be a "submissive" little daughter-in-law, but at least she still has to take her face into consideration.

After all, no matter how noble Queen Gu is, she is still a queen, not a queen!
Even the queen cannot really do whatever she wants and do whatever she wants.

"Mother--"

Bai Zhi was a little unwilling.

Concubine Xie is just pretending to be sick, and all fools know that.

Also, the things in the Queen's private treasury are her dowry and personal property.

In this world, anyone who knows some rules will not care about his daughter-in-law’s private property!
Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything, just glanced at Bai Zhi lightly——

She does need a loyal servant, but the most important thing for a loyal servant is not only to be loyal, but also to be obedient!

As a master, Gu Qingcheng has no obligation and no bother to explain anything to his slave.

Bai Zhi's heart trembled: What's wrong with me?You actually forgot your wife’s rules? !

Bai Zhi did not dare to delay any longer and responded quickly: "Yes! I obey your orders!"

After saying that, Bai Zhi continued her conversation and asked the little palace maid to go to the warehouse to get things. She went to the hanger and took out the ironed and scented red blouse with wide sleeves embroidered with gold thread.

Gu Qingcheng got out of bed, spread her arms, and let Bai Zhi and the other two maids change her clothes.

After tidying up and combing her hair into a bun, Gu Qingcheng walked out of the palace.

Outside the palace, the night was dark and the sky was full of stars.

A crescent moon emits a faint white light.

This kind of moonlight could not illuminate the courtyard, but the palace people carried palace lanterns to clear the way for Gu Qingcheng.

Gu Qingcheng was sitting on a chariot and rushed straight to the Yongshou Palace.

Half an hour later, the entire harem knew——

Concubine Xie was "sick" and Empress Gu had already gone to bed, but she still got up and went to visit.

"This Mr. Xie is so arrogant!"

"No one in the Ai family is as wanton as she is."

The lights in Yong'an Palace were originally turned off, but when they heard the noise outside, they lit the candles again.

The Queen Mother turned over and sat up, looking towards the south window.

In Yong'an Palace, naturally you can't see the scene of Yongshou Palace, but the Queen Mother can imagine that at this moment, Yongshou Palace must be "busy".

Mrs. Gu has never been a good-tempered person. She slept well, but she was tormented by Concubine Xie. She would not let the emperor Min Huang sleep comfortably.

The queen is here, and the emperor should be here too.

"Those who have sons have confidence!"

There was a sneer on the Queen Mother's lips, and she said quietly, "Especially, this son has become the emperor."

A few years ago, when Xie was still Zhaoyi, how dare she be so arrogant?

In the middle of the night, the royal couple, the emperor and the empress, were disturbed. Haha, how amazing!

As a concubine, does she take the Queen Mother, the former emperor and empress of Yuan Dynasty, seriously?

"A-Xian, guess what's the reason why Mr. Xie made trouble this time?"

The Queen Mother withdrew her gaze and turned to the personal maid guarding the bed.

This palace maid is in her forties, with delicate appearance and demure temperament. At first glance, she does not look like an aunt in charge of the palace, but she looks like the head matron of a wealthy family.

She was the confidant of the Queen Mother and married into the palace with her, and they stayed together as master and servant for nearly 30 years.

In the Queen Mother's heart, Ah Xian should be her most important and most trusted person, closer than her husband or "son".
