Fair Lady

Sima Yan, who was behind the queen mother, could hardly control her jealousy. After all, she was only eleven or twelve years old, and her ability to restrain herself so far was beyond comparison for her peers.Sima Yan's nurturing mother, Mama Hua, quietly held Sima Yan's trembling pink fist, and gave her a gentle look.

Sima Yan took a deep breath, and slowly let go of her clenched fists. She, Sima Yan, had no father, mother, or siblings, so she could only rely on herself to fight for herself.This is what Mama Hua taught her since she was four years old.

The fourth princess, Qi Sihan, is the most beloved daughter of the emperor and empress, and Qi Yueling, the princess of Yue County, is the most beloved granddaughter of the empress dowager. Sima Yan has been working hard to get along with them, always showing the appearance of a close sister.

It was okay at the beginning, the two of them were quite attached to her, but after less than a year, I don't know if it was because of the age difference (Sima Yan is four years older than the four princesses), or because she couldn't stay in the palace every day. The reason is that the two little girls are always lukewarm to her.Who would have thought that today when they met Shuyao for the first time, they would be so "fated"...

But at this moment, Queen Mother Hou thought of Sima Yan behind her: "Girl Yan, you also play with the three of them, it's so boring to be with us."

"No, no, too many people is not fun." The fourth princess murmured immediately, but was glared at by the queen, and pouted, "Sister Yan wants to accompany the emperor's grandmother?" Princess Yue also hurriedly acted like a baby to support the queen mother The fourth princess: "That's right, we're all going to play, who will accompany the imperial grandmother?"

Sima Yan hated to death in her heart, but she quickly pulled the Queen Mother's sleeves and said with a smile: "Let the three younger sisters play, Yan'er hasn't entered the palace for a long time. I just want to accompany Lafayette."

When the queen mother was chatting, she heard Madam Liu say that the two little granddaughters didn't like Sima Yan, and she didn't think much about it. Children always like their peers: "Well, well, I didn't expect that the two little monkeys would know how to feel sorry for Aijia This imperial grandmother! Since girl Yan doesn't want to go, you three go! Fourth girl, girl Yue, don't bully girl Yao."

"Yes, Grandmother, we're going." The Fourth Princess and Princess Yan held Shuyao's hand, happily pulling her away.

Shuyao couldn't understand why the two nobles didn't like Sima Yan.Didn't it mean that the master of Yan County is very popular, and everyone likes her from top to bottom in the palace?But this has nothing to do with her, so Shuyao naturally wouldn't ask too much.

As for the two of Qi Sihan making out with her, with Xiaowu in front, Shuyao could immediately think that it was because of the relationship between Xiaoguai and Huohuo, and the children were pure-hearted.It's just Aiwujiwu.

Not a while after the three of Shuyao left, a high-ranking foreign lady came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. Except for the Queen and the two noble concubines who stayed with her, the other concubines could only leave.

As soon as Yao Xuelan entered the hall, she looked around quietly. She heard that Shuyao and the other three were summoned by the Queen Mother, so they left so soon?

It happened that the Empress Dowager mentioned Yao Xuelan just now.Seeing everyone coming in at this moment, she first looked at her: "What are you looking for, red pepper? Worried that Aijia hid your precious nieces and nieces?"

Yao Xuelan frowned: "How can it be? Lan'er is worried that those two little ones are ignorant. You offended Lafayette, didn't you?"

The queen mother pointed at the queen and laughed: "Queen, did you hear that? The red pepper is hitting you in the face. Your right-hand mother is still so worried about her niece being a foster mother. You should take it back quickly."

Yao Xuelan hurriedly "grieved": "Ah, Lafayette, you have killed Lan'er unjustly. Empress, you must not fall into the trap of Lafayette. Her old man just likes to watch his concubines worry. Don't talk about our family Yao'er can't do without Grandma Liu, even Grandma Liu raised those three children as her own nephews. The empress doesn't have the heart to tear them apart, does she?"

The queen gave a "puchi" smile: "You, you are so good that you got it cheap. Even if I want to tear it apart, the queen mother refuses. She is fascinated by your three precious nephews. You will see later, the last one The Eight Treasures Emerald Ruyi Hairpins are all worn on the head of your Yao girl."

The queen's words made all the wives secretly startled. Many people here have daughters or husband's sisters in the harem. Knowing that the queen mother saw a hairpin design last month and liked it very much, she took out the top quality that has been pressed for more than ten years. The emerald was made by a palace craftsman into a set of eight eight-treasure wishful hairpins, which were distributed to granddaughters and nieces.

It is said that seven of the eight hairpins have been sent out, except one of which was given to a grand-niece of the queen mother's natal family who was the favorite of the queen mother, and the other six were given to three princesses, two princesses, and one county chief (the queen mother's granddaughter).

Although the queen mother said that she just gave it away, how much "follow your heart" is this "handy"?You know, the queen mother has five biological children, not counting the grand-nieces and grand-nieces of her natal family and a lot of grand-daughters and grand-daughters-in-law who call her imperial grandmother, there are about thirty granddaughters and granddaughters of direct relatives.Give it away?Don't say whether the prince, princess, and concubines believe it or not, at least the wives present here don't believe it.

The little nobles who got the hairpins are usually the little celebrities in front of Lafayette, of course, there is one exception, the sixth princess born to Concubine Li.Many caring people know that the Empress Dowager doesn't like Concubine Li, but she hasn't expressed her liking and disliking for the sixth princess so far. The child is only four years old, isn't she?

It is said that the day when the hairpin was prepared and sent back to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, it happened to be the birthday of the sixth princess.The queen mother gave out three hairpins, and the sixth princess went to pay her respects to the queen mother. After thinking about it, the queen mother also gave the sixth princess one.

Regardless of whether it was "handy" or not, the Murong family was very proud this time, and they attributed it to Li Fei getting a "Red Dan", which blooms even in winter.Although the red dan plant did not have a prosperous shop in Murong Mansion, Master Murong still shouted "It's worth it!" and asked Murong Ziye to go to "Yunxuan" to queue up and order another "Red dan" plant just in case .

Everyone was talking about the "accidentally obtained" hairpin of the sixth princess, and paid more attention to the whereabouts of the last hairpin. It has been several days, but no news has come.Many people, including people from Anguo Gongfu secretly speculated whether it would be left to Sima Yan.After all, the empress dowager has always valued Sima Yan, and often took her to the Palace of Compassion.Speaking of which, the Empress Dowager is much closer to Sima Yan than to those unfavored granddaughters.

Unexpectedly, just now I heard that the Queen Mother summoned the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family.No need to queue up to enter the palace directly, and now I am overwhelmed by this even more shocking news, the queen mother is giving Yen Zirou too much face, right?Although Donnie Yen's medicinal recipes helped to curb the empress dowager's thirst, it didn't cure it after all, did it?This reward is too much, too long, right?

Mrs. An's complexion is very ugly, because Sima Yan's family, An Guogong's mansion has been favored by the emperor these years, but now it has been ruined by his most valued daughter-in-law Xia Ruoxue, and even affected the little niece who has always been loved by the Queen Mother Sima Yan.

Sima Yan is the most noble girl in the Anguo Mansion, and is the "bridge" that closely connects the Anguo Mansion with the imperial palace and the empress dowager.It is the "treasure of the town house" of the government of Anguo...

If it wasn't for a pair of grandchildren, Mrs. An Guogong would have wished for her son to divorce Xia Ruoxue immediately, anyway, Ye Lingwei was about to enter the door, Ye Lingwei and the Ye family were many times stronger than Xia Ruoxue and the unlucky Xia Mansion?

Regardless of everyone's state of mind in private, at this moment in front of the Queen Mother is naturally joyful, lively, and enthusiastic, and some people are flattering the Queen Mother.There were those who praised the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family, those who talked about Michelle Tofu Factory, those who praised Mother Liu, and those who flattered the empress...

The atmosphere was getting hot, a nanny rushed over and whispered something in the queen's ear, the queen's face suddenly changed, and she glanced nervously and embarrassedly at the queen mother.After a little thought, he was about to get up and leave.Nanny Liu beside the queen mother has already started calling all the ladies to the palace banquet venue.

These ladies are masters who see all directions, listen to all directions, and turn their minds nine times and eighteen times. From the anxious face of the nanny and the change of the queen's face, one can think that it must be some empress or prince or princess in the harem. What a big deal.

But this is not something they can inquire about, at least they can't gossip on the surface, right?There was no sign of any strangeness on the faces of the crowd, they bowed respectfully and bid farewell to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and exited the Palace of Compassion and Ning in an orderly manner.

Of course, the fiery desire to gossip cannot be suppressed.Others are worried about whether it will have something to do with their own daughters or sisters.Although I dare not discuss it while walking on the road, I walk one by one.The eyeballs rolled around, looking around cautiously, as if hoping to see or hear clues by chance, although the hope was very small.

I have to say that their "gossip" luck is really good today. Not far away, several imperial doctors and medical girls are walking quickly and nervously with their medicine boxes on their backs, almost running.A little palace lady walking in front of them was begging anxiously: "Hurry up, hurry up, the empress is already popular, please hurry up."

Empress?see red?I haven't heard of any concubine who is pregnant recently?Wait a minute, the direction those imperial doctors are running seems to be Jujiu Palace, the palace where Concubine Li lives.

……

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager and Empress are listening to what happened in Jujiu Palace with serious faces.

As soon as Concubine Li returned to Jujiu Palace, Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Ding brought the third miss, Murong Qing, to visit her.Xiao Ding's feet had been grounded before, but today is the New Year's Eve banquet, Murong Mansion has received a message, as the eldest wife of Murong Mansion, she must attend, otherwise it will cause other people's gossip.

Unexpectedly, the mother, daughter, and sister-in-law didn't talk for a while, Concubine Li suddenly had a stomachache, sweating on her forehead, and soon she saw blood when she got off her skirt, and the confidants around her hurriedly called for the imperial doctor...

This is a major matter concerning the emperor's heirs, especially after the emperor was furious about the murder of his heirs a few years ago, everyone in the palace became more sensitive to such signs.

The matter naturally spread to the ears of the empress, the lord of the harem, as quickly as possible. This is the scope of her duties. If there is anything wrong, even the queen will be criticized by the emperor and the queen mother, because the management of the harem is not effective. (To be continued.
