My queen does not compete for favor

Chapter 26

"Rou'er?" The queen mother looked at Wan Chengxiao in surprise, then at Zuo Sirou who was kneeling on the ground, and finally threw away Wan Chengxiao's hand, and hurried to help Zuo Sirou up, with a look of anger on her face: "Why?" Rou'er, you haven't been crowned empress yet? The emperor is really outrageous!" After finishing speaking, he gave Wan Chengxiao a hard look, pulled Zuo Sirou up to Luan Yu, and the old eunuch and the queen mother's two maids cleared the way on both sides. Go to Ci'an Palace.

The concubines around took pleasure in their misfortune and sneaked a peek at Wan Qixiao.

Wan Chengxiao lowered his head like a wronged little daughter-in-law, but secretly hooked the corners of his mouth.The old lady is deliberately admitting to the wrong person, to show her off.To ridicule her that the title of queen is not worthy of the name, should she have given it to Zuo Sirou long ago?Wan Qixiao smiled coldly.Then your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have the ability to pick it up!

"Sister Queen" Concubine Yang stood up and walked to Wan Chengxiao's side. Although she was older than Mo Qixiao, she still had to call her sister because of the harem etiquette. We just returned to the palace, and all of us sisters should also go to pay a visit. It’s quite early today, why don’t we go now, maybe we can make the old man happy by telling a few jokes, and everyone will give us a reward?”

Concubine Yang's suggestion sounded like she was speaking to all the concubines, but it was actually just a tactful way of persuading Wan Chengxiao to strike while the iron was hot, and to make amends now, so as not to let the Queen Mother bear grudges in the future.In fact, Concubine Yang didn't know what Wan Chengxiao was thinking, she only said that the empress was wronged by the empress dowager.She is soft on others, last time Wan Qixiao's rewards were all rare treasures, and Concubine Yang has a good impression of Wan Qixiao, so she is more or less biased towards Wan Qixiao at the moment.

After hearing Concubine Yang's proposal, all the concubines looked at Wan Chengxiao and Concubine Yuchi, the two famous and real power holders in the harem, waiting for them to make up their minds.

Wan Chengxiao didn't care, but she nodded in response to Concubine Yang's kindness.Imperial Concubine Yuchi suffered a dark loss when she threw stones to ask the way for the first time to test the Zhonggong. She had made up her mind a long time ago that as long as it was about the Zhonggong and Wuyun Palace, she would not ask at all.Besides, this matter is not a matter of intrigue among some women in the harem, and it is not a matter of human life, so she naturally has nothing to do with herself.So Imperial Concubine Yuchi also nodded.

Then all the concubines in the harem greeted their personal maids and eunuchs to serve them, and a large group of people went to Ci'an Palace in a mighty manner.

In Ci'an Palace, at this time Concubine Rou, under the support of Yulian and Biluo, had already coaxed the Queen Mother out of anger. She was laughing happily, and kept holding Concubine Rou's hand, saying that this child is very good. The heart of mourning.

All the concubines came forward to greet them one by one, and took their seats after being signaled by the queen mother. At first, they were a little cautious, but after finding that the queen mother seemed to be in a good mood and the atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious, you soon joined the ranks of chatting and laughing , put the Queen Mother in a good mood.

As for Wan Tiaoxiao, she, the head of Wan Teng's family, is very used to saying one thing, doing another thing in her hands, and thinking about another thing in her heart, so she can cope with such a situation very freely.

The Queen Mother Zuo is also a person who has experienced things, so she naturally understands the scale of taking and letting go. She took Wan Qixiao's face and gave him enough prestige before, and the expected effect was achieved. He pretended to care a few words, and gave full play to the theory and practice of slapping a sweet date.

Concubine Yang soon realized that her worries were superfluous, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and joined in the jokes.

Concubine Yuchi has always been arrogant and arrogant, but she has the capital to be proud, so even if she doesn't fit in with the group and sits upright and doesn't participate in joking, the Queen Mother Zuo and all the concubines don't embarrass her.After all, the military talismans held by the Yuchi family for generations are not just a joke, with hundreds of thousands of troops in their hands, the emperor should be a little bit afraid.Who in the entire harem would dare to stroke the tiger's beard and make things difficult for Concubine Yuchi.

The atmosphere of talking and joking was very good. It was not until lunch time, when all the concubines were talking and laughing, that they were about to leave, the Queen Mother Zuo coughed lightly to attract attention, and then said with a smile: "Concubine Rou has a body now, and her wealth is naturally extraordinary , and this is the emperor's first dragon son, so it should be taken seriously. Since ancient times, mothers are more expensive than children, so Ai's family intends to ask the emperor for a reward for Concubine Rou, what do you think?"

All the concubines whispered to each other immediately, but they were all unanimously good to the queen mother, congratulations to concubine Rou's voice filled all directions.

"What does the Queen think?" The Queen Mother Zuo saw that the girls had no objection, so she threw the topic to Wan Chengxiao.Since it is asking for a reward, Concubine Rou is already in the concubine position, and the reward is either a noble concubine or a queen, but this topic is deliberately thrown to the queen to answer, obviously to embarrass her and be aggressive.Answer "yes", that is to voluntarily give up the back seat; answer "no", that is to be narrow-minded and intolerable.No matter which one, it is not easy to speak.

In fact, Wan Chengxiao's mind is not here at all at the moment, he is still lingering on the Queen Mother's sentence "the first dragon son".There was a strange sort of bewilderment in her at the moment.If this is Qin Xian's first child, then what about Qin Baobao?If Qin Baobao is Qin Xian's child before he became a proton, it is understandable to ask Yunxia yesterday if Yunxia didn't know, but it doesn't make sense that even the Queen Mother Zuo didn't know.

Wan Qixiao was perplexed.

"Empress?" The Empress Dowager accentuated her displeasure.

"Ah?" Wan Qixiao was taken aback.Then I heard the Queen Mother repeat the question just now: "Aijia said that since Concubine Rou gave birth to the emperor's first heir, she should be rewarded. Aijia is going to ask the emperor for orders. What does the queen think?"

Wan Qixiao almost laughed out loud when he heard this.This old woman, it's okay if her brain is not working well, but she has to drag so many people to witness that her brain is not working well... It's a ghost if she asks for it!

He glanced at Imperial Concubine Yuchi and Concubine Yang.Imperial Concubine Yuchi always remained expressionless, while Concubine Yang lowered her head, not knowing what to think.

In order to avoid laughing himself out, Wan Chengxiao hurriedly lowered his head: "It's all up to the Queen Mother to decide." Dementia, if you want to ask for it, please ask for it!Don't make fun of yourself and lose all face, just lose your wife and lose your army.

"Since the Queen has no objection, then the matter is settled." The Queen Mother Zuo knocked on the table in a good mood and made a final decision.

Wan Qixiao returned to the central palace under the sympathetic eyes of the concubines, ignored Yunxia's nagging and muttering, had lunch in a good mood, stretched lazily, and lay on the imperial concubine chair in front of the window, Call Yunxia.

"Miss?"

"Go to the greenhouse in the imperial garden and pick some lavender. If you pick more, I will tell you what I want." She saw many exotic flowers and plants in the greenhouse of the imperial garden last time that violated the species season and climate soil. Cultivated soil and artificial environment planting, including this lavender.
