Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 201 The Royal Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine (4)
Wanqing hurriedly stepped forward to salute her, Xianwan raised her hand gracefully and said, "Quickly flatten your body." The voice was soft and graceful, which made people feel relieved and happy.

When Wanqing got up, Concubine Xian naturally went to pull Wanqing's hand, Wanqing shrank subconsciously, Concubine Xian saw the bloodstain on her hand, she couldn't help but frowned and said: "You ……well enough."

With worry in her tone, she grabbed Wanqing's hand again, brushed her sleeves, checked again, saw that there was only one wound, and said with a sigh of relief: "How did you do this?"

Wanqing withdrew her hand and said, "It was accidentally scratched."

Concubine Xian couldn't see the deep nail marks, and since Wanqing came from Chunxi Palace first, she understood a little more in her heart, thinking that Wanqing had offended the concubine and was punished.

There was shame in his tone: "I'm really sorry, if it wasn't for Sheng'er, you wouldn't be offended by the concubine's sister." He hurriedly called the palace servants to fetch medicine to apply to Wanqing.

Wanqing couldn't explain it well, so she just smiled and said: "It has nothing to do with King Fu, the empress doesn't mind." Looking up at the concubine Xian, to be honest, the concubine Xian is also a great beauty, but she is not as cold and glamorous as the empress noble concubine Impressive, the concubine Xian is gentle and amiable, with a kind and warm temperament all over her body. Even if it is the first time they meet, they can give people a sense of intimacy. It is easy to relax their guard by her side.

"Thanks to Madam, Sheng'er was able to get out of trouble that day. I came here specially to thank him. Thank you Madam." Concubine Xian said sincerely after applying the ointment on Wanqing herself.

Wanqing hastily said a few words appropriate to the occasion, and then wanted to leave. It was the Empress Dowager who announced her into the palace, and she wasted a lot of time in recalling scriptures. As a concubine, under the heavy pressure of Hua Guifei, she can still raise her son and become a general king in charge of the military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How can such a woman be described as kind?

The more kind you are, the more you can't find out the depth, it's better to leave earlier.

The virtuous king sincerely said: "The empress dowager is not feeling well recently. After drinking the medicine in the morning, once the medicine takes effect, she will have to rest for two hours before waking up. Madam, let's have dinner in the palace. After a while, Ah Cheng He and Ah Hao will also come, he said he would thank you in person."

As soon as Wanqing heard that King Fu would come, she didn't want to stay anymore, she hurriedly got up and said: "Since the empress dowager is taking a rest, the minister's wife can come back to the palace in the afternoon, and I will leave after disturbing the empress for a long time. "

Concubine Xian sighed and said: "Speaking of which, Yeli's child is still my nephew, but back then... well, now that she has such a good daughter-in-law as you, and my younger sister knows her, it should be comforting."

Wanqing really became interested when she heard this, and asked after deliberation: "Is the mother-in-law of the empress and the minister's wife really related?"

Concubine Xian got it wrong, and then smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to know first, Yeli's mother is my cousin, but unfortunately, she is a poor person, and she risked her life to give birth to Yeli. "

Wanqing was saddened when she heard it, she was just wondering why she never heard Shangguan Yeli talk about this aunt?

"Yeah, if my mother-in-law was still there, maybe my husband's health wouldn't be as bad as it is now. My husband would get sick almost every other month, and every time he would feel so painful that he would almost go crazy..."

With tears in her eyes, Wanqing said sadly, but her big eyes were fixed on Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian sighed dejectedly, her eye circles turned red, she wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and said: "This child is weak in womb, and his body is always in bad condition. I have to do my best to take medicine to protect him, otherwise, I am afraid that I would have gone with his mother. I am in the deep palace, and I want to take care of him, but I have more energy than I want. Only in the past few years, Ah Cheng When you grow up, you can let Ah Cheng secretly help you once you have made some meritorious deeds."

"My wife thanked the empress for her concern on behalf of the husband." Although she knew that what the concubine Xian said could not be true, Wanqing still got up and thanked the concubine Xian, and then asked suddenly: "I wonder if the empress has heard of the child-mother gu?"

Concubine Xian's face turned pale when she heard this, the astonishment in her eyes flashed past, and she smiled again: "Mother-child Gu? What is it? Is it the witch Gu of the Xirong people? I am in the deep palace, so I don't know about it. Why did Madam suddenly ask this?"

Wanqing smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just like to read some miscellaneous books in my spare time, I find it interesting, and I haven't seen that thing, so I just asked casually."

Of course Concubine Xian knew that she didn't ask casually. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no woman who dared to ask casually in the palace.

Concubine Xian smiled softly, as if she was very happy that Wanqing could let go in front of her, "It turns out that Mrs. Shizi also likes to read miscellaneous books. There are many books in the palace. If Madam likes it, there are a few miscellaneous notes here in this palace. If Madam If you are interested, use it for entertainment in your free time."

Wanqing was overjoyed when she heard that, and hurriedly got up to express her thanks. Concubine Xian asked someone to bring two books, Wanqing roughly flipped through them, and after reading them, she felt happier. His miscellaneous books are much more useful, and they actually introduced Xirong Gu Poison systematically. It looked like two textbooks on Gu Poison.

But I was suspicious, these two books were clearly prepared by Concubine Xian long ago, Concubine Xian seemed to have guessed that she would talk about witchcraft, it seems that my behavior in Jingning Hou Mansion may also be Under the surveillance of others, it's just that it is not known whether Concubine Xian is an enemy or a friend.

The Ouyang family was exterminated for the whole family, but Xianfei was safe and sound?What role did Concubine Xian play in the disaster that year?There must be something strange in it.

Wanqing was about to leave, when she heard the report from the palace outside, saying that King Fu was coming, Wanqing wanted to avoid it, the concubine Xian said: "Everyone knows that the concubine Jingning Hou Shizi is a person who is informal and free and easy. , why did you become more reserved when you came to this palace, you are Sheng'er's benefactor, and I'm afraid Sheng'er wanted to thank you face to face when he came here now."

Speaking of this, it would be hypocritical for Wanqing to avoid it any more, so she just sat there with a wry smile.

King Fu came in with strides, raised his eyes and saw Wanqing was there, a trace of warmth slipped through his stern eyes, and bowed to Concubine Xian on one knee. Don't you want to thank you in person?"
