Is Xiao Fu Bao being disliked? The whole capital is spoiling me with their lives

Chapter 259: Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law
Sui Sui was soon sent back to the side hall by the emperor to sleep.

Aunt Xu and Aunt Xiang were guarding nearby, and there were also palace servants in the outer hall, so there was no need to worry about any accidents.

The emperor came back and sat down quickly.

The family sat together and talked about family matters for a while.

Most of the time, it was the Queen Mother who spoke, Prince Qi responded, and Princess Qi occasionally said a few words.

Most of the time, the emperor just listened quietly.

After talking about family matters, they mentioned the gifts given by the concubines.

Princess Qi took the opportunity to say that when Suisui woke up, she would have to take her children to various palaces to express her gratitude.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately waved her hands and said, "No need. I'm sending some gifts to my niece. Do I have to ask my niece to kneel down three times and kowtow nine times to express my gratitude?"

At this point, the Queen Mother smiled and said something ambiguous: "I didn't pick on them because they didn't show up. Now you want to pick on me?"

That being said, the Queen Mother would not really go too far in doing what should be done.

So as to prevent the concubines in the harem from holding a grudge against me for years to come.

So, after she finished speaking, she motioned Aunt Ma to come closer and said, "Go find some things in the warehouse, according to the standards of each palace, and send them to them in the afternoon. Just say that the weather is good today and I am in a good mood, so I will give them this as a reward."

After hearing this, Aunt Ma responded quickly.

Princess Qi knew that this meant that she didn't need to express her gratitude anymore.

In fact, she was not very happy to lead the palace ladies to kneel down.

As for the Queen, Princess Qi didn't know whether the other party would make things difficult for them because of the Tang family's affairs.

Even if it's not happening on the surface, what about in secret?
And the concubine...

The other party has an arrogant personality and is not easy to get along with. There is also a Princess Shunyang with a special status in the other party's palace.

Children can both get along well with each other and not get along well with each other.

If they don't hit it off, they may even fight when they meet.

Princess Qi was actually quite worried.

The other ladies in the palace...

Princess Qi was also unsure of their attitudes.

Therefore, she had envisioned that their first meeting would preferably be in the Empress Dowager's palace. With the Empress Dowager's supervision, even if those people disliked Sui Sui, they could not show it.

However, since the various palaces sent gifts today, she must express her attitude.

Now that the Queen Mother has refused, Princess Qi can breathe a sigh of relief.

The Queen Mother said it was not necessary, and she also made other arrangements, so Princess Qi finally felt relieved.

As the family was talking, they came to the topic of the annual status banquet.

This banquet must be held.

Although there is an imperial edict, the Prince Qi's Mansion also has to make its attitude clear and announce Sui Sui's identity to the outside world.

When this was mentioned, the Empress Dowager turned around and asked the Emperor, "Has the Imperial Observatory calculated the date?"

The emperor was naturally concerned about this matter, so when the empress dowager asked him about it, he quickly replied with a smile: "I have calculated it, but the time is a little far away, it is the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory means that it is a double month and double day, which means good things come in pairs. At the same time, that day is also a very auspicious day, suitable for both etiquette and moving. It is very suitable."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she realized that it was indeed a little late.

There is still a long May in between.

However, good days are not to be feared.

Suisui was a child who had a very hard life in the past, and she wanted everything to go smoothly for her in the future.

Therefore, you must choose a good day.

After figuring it out, the Queen Mother turned her head and looked at Prince Qi: "Xiao Jiu, what do you think?"

King Qi also felt that this time was a bit too long. However, his baby was obedient and was not afraid of waiting.

So, he thought about it, looked at Princess Qi again, and nodded: "I think it's okay."

Princess Qi also thought that June was auspicious, so naturally she would not object.

In this way, this date can be temporarily determined.

Next, the palace needs to make preparations.

After this topic, they talked about something else.

A few words were also mentioned about the things prepared for the banquet.

Soon, the scene turned into the Queen Mother and Princess Qi talking in low voices, and the Emperor and Prince Qi communicating from time to time.

The Queen Mother was naturally concerned about the affairs of Prince Qi's Mansion.

There may not have been much attention paid to it in the past.

But after Prince Qi got into trouble, the Queen Mother wanted to find someone to keep a close eye on the prince's mansion.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager naturally knew that the palace had dismissed many concubines and maids, and that one concubine had been sent to a Taoist temple.

At this time, she said in a deep voice: "You should have been more decisive earlier. They are not people who are content with their lot. It is useless to keep them."

What else can Princess Qi say?
I could only respond with a smile.

Could it be that if she were to tell him that the prince had been obsessed with seeking his daughter, and if she had really sent him away, there would have been a quarrel between the two of them?
If you really said that, the Queen Mother would definitely not be happy to hear it.

Seeing Princess Qi responding gently, the Queen Mother couldn't help herself and said, "You are too soft-hearted, that's why they bully you like that. Next time you encounter something like this, be stricter and more fierce. What are you afraid of? You are the mistress of Prince Qi's mansion. Those concubines are just toys to kill time. If you don't like them, just beat them to death or sell them. If Xiaojiu is interested, just replace them with another batch! You can always get some obedient ones back."

Princess Qi smiled and replied, "That's right, mother."

The more gentle and docile Princess Qi was, the more the Queen Mother felt disappointed with her. She wished she could personally clean up the backyard of the palace.

However, due to health reasons, Xiaojiu might not be in a very good mood recently.

Besides, a group of people have already been dismissed from the palace.

The Queen Mother thought, maybe next time.

After thinking it through, the Queen Mother nodded and said, "By the way, the one who is meditating at the Taoist temple, let her die of illness in three to five months. Don't take her back and harm my beloved grandson."

Princess Qi was not surprised by the Queen Mother's decision and responded with a smile.

……

At the end of the conversation, the Queen Mother frowned slightly and looked in the direction of her two sons. She found that they seemed to be talking about something and did not pay attention to this side. Then she asked in a deep voice: "Is Ren Shi relatively well behaved recently?"

Because of the conflicts of interest among the previous generation, the Queen Mother did not like Concubine Ren, and Princess Qi knew it.

Princess Qi was not surprised by the Queen Mother's question. She smiled and said, "The last time the prince and I entered the palace, Che was making trouble in the mansion, and it was Ren who protected Sui Sui and prevented the aunt and nephew from bullying Sui Sui. I think that since Ren was able to protect Sui Sui, she must be older and more knowledgeable."

The Queen Mother was not surprised that Princess Qi protected Concubine Ren.

She thought that Xiaojiu, her daughter-in-law, was too soft-hearted.

Fortunately, she had given adequate warnings to Ren and Meng over the years, so that they would not be able to take advantage of Princess Qi.

However, this time, the princess defended Ren because she had protected Sui Sui.

The empress dowager thought that she was not a person who could not distinguish between gratitude and resentment. Since Ren had performed well, it was not impossible for her to give her a reward to show the emperor's favor.

After all, no matter how much she criticized him, she couldn't avoid talking about the reward when it was time.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother nodded and said, "Since she has protected me for so many years, she should be rewarded. I will ask Aunt Ma to pick some things later..."

Originally, the Queen Mother wanted to say that you should take them all back home.

Fearing that Ren would not believe that this was her reward, the Queen Mother quickly changed the subject and said, "I'll arrange for someone else to deliver it."
