The beauty of the lady

Chapter 239
When the people below heard these words, they were really happy and sad, but they still flattered one after another.

Madam Chen Guogong looked at the empress dowager, and asked with a smile: "I wonder if the empress dowager has any plans for the empress?"

Before coming here, the Duke of the State had told her that it was impossible for the Chen family to produce another queen, otherwise, not to mention the ministers' disapproval, even the people of the world would not agree. She felt that her husband was a bit alarmist. If the Empress Dowager really insisted, what if the courtiers objected, let alone the people of the world.

Her youngest daughter is only one year older than the emperor, and she looks elegant and refined, so why can't she be a queen?
"The Ai family has already made up their minds. If we talk about the queen who is the mother of the world, it should be the eldest lady of Taifu Duan's family."

Taifu is the emperor's teacher, so naturally there will not be only one. This time the draft will surely affect the families of officials of all sizes in the capital.

When Mrs. Chen Guogong heard this, her whole heart sank. She complained a little to the Empress Dowager, why didn't she take care of her own family, she liked her little daughter very much.

Empress Dowager Chen and Empress Xian were cousins, but because one was the empress of Emperor Hongyuan and the other was the crown prince, their seniority was lowered. The cousins ​​who were originally direct relatives actually became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Speaking of it now, Emperor Hongyuan's queen is Chen Guogong's cousin. From there, the Empress Dowager Chen, the cousin, has become Chen Guogong's junior.

Zhou Mei felt her whole head hurt just thinking about it, and then she simply stopped thinking about it, since it had nothing to do with her anyway.

Speaking of which, if Emperor Yuanchang could have married his grandmother back then, there would be no such messy relationships.

"The imperial concubine has always been equivalent to the deputy queen, and there is no such rank as usual. There are two imperial concubines and four concubines. The Ai family also has plans in mind. They just wait for the draft in March next year. The Ai family will ask the emperor's plan again. This time it is in advance. Send you a message, and you can go back and prepare."

The excitement of Mrs. Duan, who was named, can be imagined at this time. Her face was so red that she could bleed, and many wives around her surrounded her to congratulate her. To Zhou Mei, this scene was very strange. It is helpless.

The empress dowager is really impatient.

"Xu Concubine, Ai's family hasn't seen you for some time, but you are not feeling well?" Empress Dowager Chen looked at Xu Ying with a smile.

Xu Ying got up and saluted. Her status was no better than Zhou Mei's. It's fine to sit and answer at this time. As a concubine, the queen mother must stand up to answer when she asks questions.

"The concubine has met the empress dowager and met the queen mother. I know that my status is low. Although the concubine and the concubine have brought my concubine into the palace several times, I don't want to lose face to the prince and the concubine. It's the empress dowager who misses it. It's my concubine's." no."

Empress Dowager Chen waved her hand, signaling him to sit down, "That's good, you are the side concubine that the emperor's mother pointed out to the Ninth Emperor Uncle, and your status is naturally unusual. If Ai's family is bored in the palace in the future, you can I want to enter the palace to accompany Ai's family."

"Yes, I just hope that the queen mother will not dislike the stupidity of my concubine."

"You are not stupid. If it was true as you said, Aunt Nine Emperors would not have brought you into the palace."

Zhou Mei raised Chun slightly, a sarcasm flashed in her eyes, she said with a smile: "The Queen Mother really has sharp eyes, isn't Concubine Xu a good one, at least she can keep the backyard of the palace in order."

"To get a compliment from Aunt Nine Emperors, Concubine Xu must be really good. Now that Prince Chun's mansion has no heirs, it is better for Aunt Nine Emperors to hurry up. Uncle Nine Emperors is always the most beloved youngest son of the imperial grandmother. I didn't see Uncle Nine Emperors having a child, so I still have to show it to Grandmother during the anniversary festival."

"What the Empress Dowager said is that the concubine understands this truth, but children are a gift from God, and it must be too late to have them now."

"It would be great if that's the case." Mrs. Chen Guogong said in a cool tone: "My wife heard that since the concubine and empress married into the palace, the prince has never stayed elsewhere for more than two years. It should be, it is better for women to be virtuous and generous, and our primary responsibility is to let our husbands and children continue."

Zhou Mei lowered her eyebrows slightly, noticing the various looks in the eyes of the people around her, and of course the worried look of her aunt.

With her fair fingers cruising on the exquisite blue and white porcelain teacup, she said softly: "Mrs. Chen, I have only heard that a man who sleeps in the concubine's room all day will be said to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, but I have never heard In the main wife's room, people will also be criticized, this princess doesn't care about being called jealous, to be honest, this princess is indeed not as generous as Mrs. Chen, this is true."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen stopped short.

What they said was true, it was only natural for a husband to rest with his wife all day long, and there was no place for her to intervene.

For a moment, all the eyes in the palace were dodged, thinking that Princess Chun, who is so beautiful and beautiful, is also so shrewd and eloquent, no wonder she is held in the palm of Chun's hand and pampered.

Looking at my own family, who doesn't have at least two or three beautiful concubines, and at least one or two concubine sons and daughters.

To put it bluntly, the wives of these aristocratic families are low-spirited. When they had no children, they thought it would be good to have a son and daughter by their side. Not to mention how annoying it is, I wish I could just drink a cup of poison to death, so as not to compete with my parents and children for my husband's love in the future.

At this time, the Empress Dowager Chen, who was sitting at the top, smiled, "It is a good thing that Aunt Jiuhuang can be doted on by Uncle Jiuhuang. It’s really not very nice, it’s the responsibility of a wife to extend the heirs to the husband’s family, don’t be like the Ai family, who only has the emperor’s son by her side, while the eldest princess is weak and sick, can’t see the wind all day, and can’t be with her Beside the Ai family, the Kunning Palace of the Ai family is not to mention how deserted, if there are three or five children around, the Ai family would not have to draft for the emperor so early."

"Of course what the queen mother said is correct, but since the prince doesn't go anywhere else, the concubine can't make decisions for him at will. Although the concubine has been in the mansion for a year or two, the women in the backyard have been older than the concubine. If the prince I really want to have an heir, and I already have one. The eldest son is the source of cholera in the whole family. I understand in my heart that it is not my fault to let the Queen Mother follow me. etc."

Now that everyone has said that, it is really difficult for those present to say more.

The queen mother also took a soft note, and she felt really uncomfortable. She is now the most noble woman in the world, but Zhou Mei gave her a push today. It's no wonder she can feel comfortable.

"My concubine looks really glamorous when I look at the concubine, she doesn't look like Mrs. Zhou." The person who spoke was the wife of the doctor Xian's family, the third rank.
