Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 188 Getting along (1)
However, although Guo Changxi's appearance is a bit more beautiful, there is a bit of melancholy between her brows.

The fact that she was not favored by the emperor was even more unacceptable to her than the empress dowager, and she was hit harder.

She was born beautiful since she was a child, with a smart head and a proud heart. She never felt that anyone would dislike her.From the moment she entered the palace, she was sure that she would spoil the harem, but the favorite concubine was not what she wanted, her goal was the queen's throne.

Unexpectedly, the reality gave her a blow in the head.

Not to mention becoming a queen in the future, even becoming a concubine is as difficult as heaven for her now.

She didn't understand why His Majesty refused to look at her even though she was so beautiful and talented, and even supported by the Empress Dowager?Treating her as the same as those concubines who are mediocre in appearance and far inferior to her own, although she did not treat her badly, but this approach, to her, is simply a great humiliation.

Dajue Temple, the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

When Guo Changxi arrived, Empress Dowager Yu had just finished her afternoon nap and was sitting on the couch, being served by the old woman beside her, drinking porridge.Seeing Guo Changxi, she stopped drinking, and the old lady quietly withdrew, and another maid served tea, and the queen mother rinsed her mouth with tea, spit it into the gargle held by the maid, and finally took the handkerchief to seal it. Sealing the corners of her lips, she looked at Guo Changxi.

"The concubine has met the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed." Guo Changxi saluted the queen mother respectfully and with a little affection.

In the palace, apart from the empress, even a noble concubine cannot be called the empress dowager, but Guo Changxi is an exception, who made her the empress dowager's niece!This was also allowed by the queen mother in front of everyone, and she almost said that she wanted Guo Changxi to be the queen.

Empress Ning was so angry that her face turned blue. She was not dead yet, and someone was so blatantly thinking about her position. No matter how magnanimous she was, she couldn't bear it.

Since then, Queen Ning not only regarded Guo Changxi as a thorn in her side, but also had a great grudge against the queen mother, and even asked An to say that she was sick.It can be said that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has dropped to freezing point.

Empress Ning doesn't care who the emperor favors, and she won't be jealous of those concubines, but if anyone cares about her position, whoever is her mortal enemy.

When Guo Changxi first entered the palace, the queen mother doted on her, and she felt that it was right in her heart, because she was very smart, and knew what the queen mother wanted her to enter the palace, and felt that the queen mother wanted her, and she should treat her well.

Therefore, even though she was very respectful to the queen mother on the surface, she was still arrogant in her heart, and she never put down her body to please the queen mother intentionally. There was more than respect, but not enough intimacy.

If Guo Changxi has always been favored after entering the palace, maybe she has always looked like this to the queen mother. Unfortunately, after successive setbacks by Emperor Xiande, she realized how important the queen mother's attitude is to her. Slowly lower your posture and learn to please the queen mother.

The Empress Dowager Yu knew about Guo Changxi's changes, but she didn't point it out. It's not too late for Guo Changxi to understand.She just wanted Guo Changxi to understand that without her as the Queen Mother and without the support of the Yu family, Guo Changxi would be nothing.She and the Yu family, both prosper and lose.

"Get up!" Although the queen mother tried her best to maintain her majesty, her voice still sounded a little weak, and her figure was much thinner than usual.

After Guo Changxi got up, she stepped forward and said worriedly, "Is the queen mother feeling better? You still need to take care of your health."

Guo Changxi understands that the queen mother is her only support in the palace, so she cares more about the queen mother's condition than anyone else.

"It's just to endure the day." The Empress Dowager Yu said indifferently, the matter has come to this point, she no longer wants her illness to be cured, as long as she can control her illness from getting worse and relieve her pain, she is already very happy Satisfied.

"My queen, don't be discouraged. Isn't Chan Master Liao Tong proficient in medicine? He will definitely be able to cure my mother's illness." Guo Changxi said eagerly.

The Empress Dowager Yu just shook her head, and didn't say anything more about her condition. Instead, she asked, "How are you and the emperor doing recently? Has the emperor asked you to sleep with me?"

A trace of humiliation flashed across Guo Changxi's eyes, she shook her head dejectedly, and said with a bowed head, "Concubine is incompetent, since I came to Dajue Temple, I haven't seen His Majesty's face yet."

It's not that she hasn't taken the initiative before, but every time she goes to His Majesty's bedroom, she will always be blocked. Fortunately, Concubine Zhen is also like her, which makes her feel more balanced.

The Empress Dowager Yu was a little disappointed, but it was expected, she quickly adjusted her mood, and said, "It's probably because your Majesty has been busy recently, and it will be nice to relax in a few days. You are the niece of the Ai family, and the Ai family naturally hopes that you Alright. The top priority now is to find a way to conceive a dragon seed, as long as you have a child, nothing will be a problem."

Guo Changxi nodded shyly, but clenched her fists tightly under her sleeves, revealing her stubbornness and unwillingness.

She will want a child, and she will never give up on the emperor's favor.

Whenever those concubines ridiculed her and ridiculed her for her appearance, but she still couldn't get His Majesty to look at her differently, she secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she must be favored by His Majesty.Not only that, but she also wants to pamper the harem, let His Majesty personally put the queen's phoenix crown on her head, and smash the mouths of those women, otherwise, wouldn't she be sorry for the stunning appearance and full body that God gave her? talent?

The Empress Dowager Yu didn't know what Guo Changxi was thinking, so she continued: "Later, Ai's family will listen to Chan Master Tong's explanation of Buddhism. .”

When Guo Changxi heard this, her heart jumped suddenly, and she couldn't hide her surprise on her face.

Before coming to Dajue Temple, she had never thought of asking Chan Master Tong for guidance, but she had never dared to speak to the Empress Dowager. Now, hearing the Empress Dowager speak of it on her own initiative, naturally made her ecstatic.

Of course, in addition to wanting Chan Master Tong's advice, she also wants to be affirmed by Chan Master Tong. As long as Chan Master Tong is willing to speak for her, His Majesty will definitely look at her differently, and her future will be brighter and more magnanimous.

But she quickly restrained her surprise, lowered her posture, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the Queen Mother: "Thank you for your great kindness, my concubine will always remember it in my heart. From now on, my concubine will definitely be the queen mother." My life is obedience, I will never disobey my mother, if I give birth to a prince in the future, I will try my best to take care of the family, and I will never let my mother down."

When the Queen Mother heard Guo Changxi's statement, she couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction. What she wanted was her words.Lest she be arrogant and arrogant, not knowing the heights of the sky and the earth, thinking that she can run amok in the harem with her beauty.But they don't know, without her and the Yu family's support, it is unknown whether she will survive or not.You know, among those women in the palace, which one is the most fuel-efficient lamp?
