The Ugly Girl Turns Over

Chapter 397 The Empress Dowager's Tea Party
At the end of autumn and winter solstice, the Empress Dowager also disliked the cold weather outside, so she invited a group of female relatives, how could they all sit outside and drink the northwest wind?So the Empress Dowager ordered the eunuch to arrange everyone to her bedroom.

In the main hall of the bedroom, there are many small tables one by one, all of which are full of the names of the daughters of various families. Some tables have several names. It seems that the girls of the whole clan have been invited, while some tables are not Only one was released, as if there was only one person.

These seats are arranged very schemingly, almost only the eldest daughter of the prostitute can sit in the front, and the ones behind are mostly the offspring of the concubine. After all, when Xia Houjin married Wei Ruyi and Liu Mingzhu, he was just a prince. Even a concubine may not be willing to marry the prince as a side concubine. After all, the Tian family is ruthless, so maybe her husband will be sent far away at some point.

It's good now, Xia Houjin has become the current crown prince, and the daughters of these ministers' families know that as long as they enter the prince's mansion, they may become the existence of the imperial concubine and noble concubine in the future, even if there is a queen on top, but That is much more majestic than a prince's side concubine.

So without Xia Houjin's knowledge, these young ladies were sent here by their parents, including Ouyang Jinyun's two younger sisters.

Ouyang Yumei and Ouyang Yulan, these two girls have a close relationship with Xia Houjin from a long time ago. Although Lord Ouyang almost sent his daughter to the third prince's mansion last time, after learning that Xia Houjin became the prince, this Ouyang The lord felt that he still had a vision back then, so he turned his head around and came to Xia Houjin's side.

It's just that today is different from the past. In the past, everyone came for the name of the prince and concubine, and she was also the daughter-in-law of the royal family, but now, everyone came for the name of the prince.

Xia Houjin didn't know at all that she had obviously become a piece of meat up for grabs at the Queen Mother's place, and she was put on the chopping board waiting for these daughters to strike at any time.

When Qin Yuewen arrived at the Empress Dowager's place, the huge bedroom was already full of young ladies, seeing that it was Qin Yuewen who had arrived, everyone stood up and saluted respectfully.

"Auspiciousness for the princess and concubine, good luck for the empress."

Qin Yuewen stood on it, looked at all the daughters and smiled slightly.

"There's no need to be too polite, everyone sit down."

As soon as Qin Yuewen finished speaking, the Empress Dowager walked in from behind the curtain. The Empress Dowager glanced at Qin Yuewen with a look of disdain in her eyes. The Empress Dowager was a lady of every family, so she naturally looked down on Qin Yuewen's birth in her bones, but in such a scene Now, she still had to put on a show.

So the Empress Dowager said to Qin Yuewen in a rare and pleasant manner.

"Yue'er is here, why don't you visit your father first?"

Qin Yuewen smiled slightly.

"If you go back to the emperor's grandmother, Yue'er just came from the father's side."

The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction.

"Is everyone here?"

Those young ladies saluted collectively after hearing this.

"The empress dowager is auspicious, and the empress dowager is blessed and safe."

The Empress Dowager smiled and excused everyone before taking their seats.

She turned her head to look at Qin Yuewen's stomach and asked.

"It's been seven months now?"

Qin Yuewen nodded and smiled.

"If you go back to the emperor's grandmother, it will be eight months on the eighth day of the next month."

A smile appeared on the corner of the queen mother's mouth, she looked at Qin Yuewen and said.

"This child is estimated to be in time for New Year's Day, and the full moon will be almost full by then. It will be the first happy event next year, and it is really a good sign."

Qin Yuewen smiled when she heard this, said something like thanking the queen mother for her auspicious words, and then waited for the queen mother's arrangement. Anyway, she knew that this banquet was a farce. Pretend to come over to say hello, and then go into a rage and drive away all these young ladies.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuewen couldn't help showing a smile, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a nice curve.

After talking a few words with Qin Yue, the Empress Dowager felt bored, so she turned her head and continued talking to the Lord Jixiang County.

"Auspicious, how about staying at your second brother's house during this time? Are you comfortable?"

Jixiang county head nodded quickly and said with a smile.

"The concubine's sister-in-law treats me very well. I am very at ease, and there are so many new things to play every day."

When the queen mother heard it, she quickly piled up a smile and said.

"Didn't you play wildly? You don't come back to see Ai's family. Once you are released, you don't know you will go home. You really should fight."

As soon as everyone heard the doting tone of the Queen Mother, they knew that the woman in front of them was the famous Hu woman of Dayun, the head of Jixiang County.

So everyone laughed in agreement, nothing more than to cater to the queen mother's preferences.

After finishing talking with Jixiang, the queen mother turned her head to look at the daughters of the group.

"Today, the Ai family recruited the big guys here just to choose a few women with both ability and political integrity for the prince. Right now, there is only the princess concubine in this house, and she is pregnant, so she can't serve the prince..."

When Qin Yuewen heard this, she immediately became unhappy. What does it mean to serve the prince?Oh, the co-author is a woman who is born to serve others, right? She is a female soldier. Do female soldiers understand the kind of soldiers who march and fight, and who line up troops? There are talents in this area, and she can say that she can't find anyone.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuewen calmed down and comforted herself in her heart.

Anyway, this is just the Queen Mother's wishful thinking, don't be angry, don't be angry.

When she came back to her senses, she only listened to the Queen Mother.

"...So, today, you will each show off your talents, and Aijia is waiting for some of you to marry into the Prince's Mansion and spread the branches and leaves for me."

After hearing this, all the daughters became happy, and all of them were eager to try, but everyone didn't act. You look at me and I look at you. The atmosphere is a bit weird.

Some people are afraid that they will behave too early and they will not understand Qin Yuewen's temperament. They will be disgusted by Qin Yuewen when they come to the manor. After all, she is the princess and the future queen, so it is better not to offend her, so everyone pushes me to let her go. Yes, no one is willing to come out and perform.

Seeing that everyone didn't come out, the queen mother was a little angry, so she pointed to auspiciously.

"Auspicious, you can go, anyway, the Ai family also prefers you to be the side concubine, and you have a good relationship with Yue'er, so let's show it to everyone first, and play a leading role."

Ji Xiang was about to refuse when he heard that the door opened with a bang, and Xia Houjin stood outside the door with a gloomy face and said.

"Didn't the imperial grandmother choose a concubine for me? Why doesn't my grandson know about it?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at Qin Yuewen and said.

"Yue'er, you are so brave, you even kept such a thing from me."
