Traitor Concubine Growth Manual

Chapter 8

The Empress Dowager's birthday was getting closer day by day, and when it finally came, everyone in the palace breathed a sigh of relief. At any rate, they had finished all the preparations, and they just waited for today to pass smoothly. You can have a good rest.

The current empress dowager is not the emperor's biological mother, nor is she the queen dowager chosen by the previous emperor, but because the previous empress dowager Dou had been in power for many years, she was suddenly identified as having something to do with the death of the emperor's biological mother, Concubine Ling. Some clues confirmed that this happened.

So an imperial decree sent her to Jingyun Temple for Qingxiu, and the highest-ranking concubine in the harem became the current empress dowager.

As for who reported on this matter... I am afraid that after Empress Dowager Dou steps down, whoever is the biggest beneficiary will be the most suspected.

But as far as the emperor is concerned, it doesn't matter who is the queen mother. The biological mother is dead, so it's not the same for the remaining toffees to be the queen mother?
The present empress dowager is the biological mother of the Sixth Prince who has the closest relationship with him among several brothers, and besides Empress Dowager Dou, she was also the most favored concubine of the former emperor, so it was logical that she moved from the West Palace to the Shouyan Palace where the Empress Dowager of the East Palace lived. .

Right now, the Shouyan Palace is full of laughter, chatting and drinking, the banquet is not big, and the guests are all concubines and grandchildren, it can be regarded as a family banquet.

Zhao Ronghua came neither early nor late, neither appearing too humble nor disrespecting the Queen Mother.

Next to her was a little girl, wearing a newly cut pink embroidered skirt with flowers, a finely crafted golden lock with bells hanging on the front of her neck, and her hair was braided into a wishful bun, one on each side, With straight bangs on the forehead, a pair of blinking eyes, not to mention how pink and cute.

Although Chu Yan was dressed cutely, Zhao Ronghua himself dressed in a well-regulated manner, and the color was just a goose yellow chosen to suit the occasion, not too plain.

Anyway, her purpose today is not to show herself. After all, the emperor's heart is not with her, and it is not a matter of a day or two to spoil the imperial concubine. No matter how beautiful she is dressed up, it will only add to the jokes. It is better to think about it carefully. Thinking about how to make Chu Yan win the favor of the queen mother and the emperor will also benefit the child's future draft.

If the empress dowager is happy, maybe he will directly point her to Qi Er in the future.

Zhao Ronghua's wishful thinking worked out well.

What she didn't know was that at this time in her previous life, the real Chu Yan was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and even if Chu Yan's father was the eldest, it didn't mean that she relied on her status as a prostitute. How special treatment can be received.Who the old lady prefers depends on a certain period of time, whether it is the father or the second and fourth uncles who have made achievements outside, so even whose daughter they have will have a higher status.

Because of this, Chu Yan in her previous life was not like Qing Yang, who was able to receive the most honorable treatment because of the supreme status of the eldest princess in the mansion. Naturally, her temper was much more cowardly than Qing Yang's, and not only did she not show it at this banquet It was excellent, but Zhao Ronghua was disappointed—because when she was toasting the queen mother, she was so nervous that she stuttered and couldn't speak a word.

But now Chu Yan lives in a shameless modern woman who used to be a teacher, and she doesn't change her expression when facing hundreds of students, how can a banquet scare her?
The eunuch outside the door sang a promise, Zhao Ronghua led Chu Yan into the hall calmly, and before she could remind Chu Yan, Chu Yan knelt down and kowtowed, crisply Said, "Yanyan greets the emperor and the queen mother, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and the queen mother."

After finishing speaking, she raised her head innocently and looked at the two highest-ranking people sitting in the main hall. After seeing the Queen Mother smiling kindly at her, she also smiled happily, and the two little The small canine teeth were immediately exposed.

"What a pretty little girl, come here and let Ai's family take a look!" The queen mother was softened by her cuteness, and waved to her with a smile, "Is this the little granddaughter of Zhao Wu's direct relative? How old is this year?"

Chu Yan walked to the queen mother very naturally, nodded with a smile, pointed to her nose and said, "If you go back to the queen mother, this is the little granddaughter of my grandfather who just turned six years old in the first month."

She spoke with a serious face, obviously she was very focused on answering the queen mother's question, she clearly quoted the queen mother's words, but when she talked about Zhao Wu, she changed her name because of her respect for her grandfather. There was a lot of laughter.

The queen mother turned her head and smiled at the emperor while shaking her head, "I really can't see that Zhao Wu, a vulgar man who can only lead soldiers and fights, gave birth to such a smart and well-behaved little girl, who can make people like her so much with a few words .”

The emperor also smiled slightly, "If the queen mother likes Chu Yan and feels bored in Shouyan Palace in the future, let her come and sit with you more."

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Ronghua, who was standing upright, and smiled while letting her sit, "I'm afraid that Zhao Ronghua will be unhappy. Didn't this girl enter the palace a few days ago because she yelled that she was alone in Yuan Dynasty?" Is the Palace of Xi flustered with idleness, just a few days after he summoned someone into the palace, the Ai family snatched him away, why does the emperor ignore Zhao Ronghua's feelings?"

Zhao Ronghua just sat down at the Queen Mother's signal, and immediately stood up again, smiling and respectfully said to the Queen Mother, "What the Queen Mother said is really a disgrace to the concubine, Chu Yan is a clever child, even though the concubine is I thought about asking her to come to the palace to accompany my concubine, but it was more because there were tutors in the palace to teach and teach, so she could learn more knowledge here. If the queen mother likes her, this is her great blessing, concubine It's too late for the concubine to be happy, how could she be jealous?"

Speaking of this, she looked at Chu Yan with a smile, "You still haven't thanked the Queen Mother?"

Of course I have to thank you, although nominally I only go to accompany the queen mother occasionally, but since the emperor and the queen mother have spoken, it is equivalent to announcing Chu Yan's status to the people in the palace. Don't dare to underestimate her.

Zhao Ronghua was really happy from the bottom of her heart, because she didn't expect that Chu Yan would please the queen mother as soon as she came, which was a pleasant surprise.

Chu Yan blushed and turned around to hold the Queen Mother's hand, then rubbed it on the top of her head twice, stuck out her tongue in the Queen Mother's surprised expression, and explained shyly, "When I was young, the elders loved Touching Yanyan's head, Yanyan didn't like it very much, later my mother said that only people who are close to Yanyan and love Yanyan will touch Yanyan's head."

The implication is that in her eyes, the queen mother is someone who is very close to her and loves her very much.

The queen mother is also getting older, when she was young, she loved to fight for love, and she was too busy fighting openly and secretly with Queen Mother Dou. Now that she is old, she succeeded in taking the position of Queen Mother Dou, but after losing her opponent, she also lost her long-standing goal. And the pursuit is monotonous and boring.

And she didn't expect to meet such a cute little girl today, clever and cute, but without losing the innocence of a child.

This is different from the wayward and domineering Qingyang, and also completely different from the sons and daughters of the emperor's other brothers who are either meek and boring, or young and old and boring.

So just before the banquet started, Chu Yan had already been favored by the queen mother, and she was left to sit beside her, grabbing all the candies and pastries on the small table for her to eat.

The faces of everyone in the hall remained unchanged, but they were all thinking in their hearts. Except for Zhao Ronghua, few people were really happy.

Now that the emperor is full of heart and eyes, only Concubine Rong is the only one, so where is the place for other people?

Whether it's Concubine Mu, Zhao Ronghua, or even the low-ranking concubines below, who doesn't want a girl from his family to become a prince in the future?Seeing that they themselves have no way to win some power and status in this palace, they can only hope that the little girl from the family has the ability to please the prince.

But right now, how long has it been since the daughter of the Zhao family entered the palace?Some time ago, the crown prince favored her in front of Princess Qingyang, and the noble concubine Rong Huang also met her several times, and now even the queen mother and the emperor have expressed their love for her.

Good guy, is this little girl's life better?

Chu Yan sat beside the queen mother, eating cakes as if she didn't know anything about the situation, her brows and eyes were curled up in satisfaction, and she smiled innocently and innocently.

But in my heart, I was so tired that I was obviously not a six-year-old girl, but I wanted to be cute like a little girl.

It seems that after crossing, I really woke up unconsciously.

There was a gaze in the crowd that locked on her with particular fervor. While she was gnawing on a slice of hypericum, she looked up and saw Princess Qingyang looking at her with an indignant expression, as if she had snatched away what should have belonged to her. The location of Qingyang is the same.

Chu Yan recalled the fight last time. If the crown prince hadn't come out to rescue her later, the eldest princess might really have to teach her a lesson. If it is true, like a mother, like a daughter.

Both mother and daughter are equally impulsive and headstrong.

Chu Yan's mind was spinning rapidly, and she immediately grinned maliciously at Qingyang, and sure enough, she saw that the other party's eyes became even more angry, and her small face was pouting like a bun.

In fact, there is nothing to hate. She can't be angry with such a naive little princess. It's just a life in the palace. There are boring and thrilling. Occasionally teasing this little bun is one of the great joys of life. .

It's Prince Qi... Chu Yan seemed to be unconsciously glanced at Gu Mingan, well, that guy showed that half-smile expression again, as if he knew everything, and seemed to be just used to this kind of superficial smile .

In the end, she glanced at the prince cautiously. Gu Qi looked at her with calm eyes, but this guy didn't show his happiness or not on his face, so she could only speculate theoretically that His Royal Highness should be very angry. .

...That's for sure, he hates himself so much, and he has seen through Zhao Ronghua's desire to stuff her into the Prince's Mansion to expand the Zhao family's influence, so naturally he is not happy to see himself being treated well by others.

Especially the people who are waiting to see her are the current emperor and queen mother.

There is only one thing that Chu Yan still doesn't understand very well, why is the relationship between the Prince and Zhao Ronghua so rigid?And even if the prince has lived with Concubine Rong for several years, shouldn't the relationship be so close, like a biological mother and child?

Things need to be verified.
