The Path of the Pharmacist's Favorite Concubine

Chapter 182 Family Dinner
Only then did Sister Yan smile and took out two gifts, "The crown prince chose this Jade Buddha for you, and he said that it has no flaws at all, but it's a pity that it's a Buddha statue, but I brought it back for the sake of both gods and Buddhas being effective.

This calligraphy and painting was found by Master Ding from the salt merchant who ransacked his home. He said it was very good and worth admiring, and brought it for you to play with. "

The Queen Mother couldn't help but raise her mouth, "It's from the salt merchant's house, and she didn't even take out a penny, it's so troublesome."

Sister Yan suddenly laughed out of joy, "There is another piano score that she found out. Master Ding said that it doesn't matter where it comes from, the key is to find it carefully."

The queen mother curled her lips in disgust, but took her hand quickly, "Forget it, I won't argue with the junior, it seems that I am stingy."

"Your Majesty, when I came back this time, I heard that it was Master Ding who desperately protected the Crown Prince. His loyalty is indeed a lesson to learn."

"Well, you go and ask the princess to come over, I'm going to beat it, so that I won't be charged with another crime if I find out about that girl in the future."

"Yes, oh yes, the Crown Princess has been summoning Wang Qin frequently, and I wonder if it is because she wants to seize the son."

Sister Yan felt that there were some things that she had to talk to the queen mother about. The main reason was that the princess had such a bad temper that no one would pay attention to her, and she also had an expression that you were all cowards.

"Hey! Don't say my grandson annoys him, Ai's family is annoyed by her non-stop acting like a monster. Why do you always find trouble for me?"

The queen mother also bothers her, she has no sense of proportion, arrogant, arrogant, with high eyes and low hands.

"Yes, I'll call the princess right now."

"Go."

After a while the Crown Princess came over and knelt in the inner hall. The Empress Dowager was reading the piano score that Huilan had given her, but she didn't cry out or pay any attention to her, and just let her kneel like this.

The princess pursed her lips and felt wronged. The royal family bullied others, which wasted my painstaking efforts and sincerity.

"Do you know why you were punished? But Ai's question is useless. You must not be convinced."

The queen mother chuckled, not surprised by her reaction, she still didn't seem to understand, she could see everything clearly from a condescending position.

"I don't understand, it's obviously...why is it that only Donggong is wronged? I don't accept it!"

The queen mother just glanced at her lightly, "What right do you have to disobey? That is the emperor's own son. The emperor not only has a son of the prince, but you still have to hold on to death when it comes to this. The Ai family can only wish you the best in the future." It was safe and sound.

You go back, don't mention this matter again, if you mention Aijia again, let the emperor kill your father and brother, the prince doesn't need a concubine who makes trouble everywhere, and it's no big deal to die a first wife, at most marry another one. "

They have already said this, which means that the queen mother will not meddle in her business anymore, let alone give any advice.

The Crown Princess looked at the Queen Mother in disbelief, feeling that her heart had been ruined, her eyes turned red with grievance, and she replied, "I remember it."

Don't mention it if you don't mention it, you will think that I rarely meddle in your Li family's business, and I am unlucky to marry an embroidered pillow, a useless useless person.

"Go back."

The queen mother shook her head and ignored her.

Zhou Ying got up and saluted, then turned and left without looking back.

Li Chengze knew that Zhou Ying would only be scolded for going to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, but he didn't want to bother with her at all, his mind was full of weights, and his temper of never turning back was useless.

I was a little tired today, no one called, I was resting in Yongxin Hall, and I didn't want to talk to Zhou Ying anymore.

After Zhou Ying went back, she cried hard. She hadn't been here since Madam Qi was sent back to the concubine's place. Only afterward did she realize that she might have already planned to retreat.

It was the concubine who begged the queen mother. She missed the old sisters and hoped that Nanny Qi could return to her side, so she could have someone to talk to. Seeing that Zhou Ying was not on the road, the queen mother simply agreed.

Nanny Qi took advantage of her defeat and left without any regrets.

Speaking of it, it was a friendship that accompanied her growing up for several years, but after all, it was not as important as her own life. People in the palace have a lot of thoughts. If you are careless, you will lose everything. You don’t need a heavy hammer to beat the drum. You can't react even if your brain is broken, what can the elders do?

The maid next to her was also replaced by Yuyan, He Xiang died, was sent to the Punishment Division to be tortured to death, and fell to the ground to bear all the charges, only to keep her family.

Before He Xiang's death, Zhou's family sent a message to redeem her old lady, brother and nephew as good citizens, which is regarded as full of the love of master and servant.

At least she saved her life, even if it was a bit harder to be a commoner, the Zhou family didn't do everything because her family didn't know anything.

The closest people left and died, Zhou Ying was almost devastated, but it was her own mother who was reluctant to give up this daughter, and all kinds of comfort made her cheer up again.

On the second day after the crown prince returned to the palace, Zhou Ying held a reception banquet, and asked all the women in the East Palace to come out to get together and asked to bring all the children.

Fortunately, it's already hot this season, so it doesn't matter.

Huilan deliberately dressed up, with a full set of red tourmaline hair, Dongzhu's forehead pendant, Tianshuibi's high-waisted skirt, and a pink and white gauze narrow-sleeved long skirt for outerwear. , yet gorgeous and elegant.

When Huilan arrived, Mrs. Qian and the others had already sat down to talk with the nanny.

"Sister Ding puts on makeup."

"Hi sisters, sit down soon and don't need to be formal."

Huilan promptly stopped everyone from saluting and greeted her warmly.

"My sister looks really good today. It seems that the water and rice in the south are the source of life."

Qian said a harmless joke.

"The scenery in Yangzhou is very good, and the food is also very good, but it is slightly sweet. I like to eat sweets there, and the snacks are still delicious. The humidity is a bit heavy. I guess the winter will be more uncomfortable. We northerners may not necessarily go there. I can stand the damp and cold over there."

"What you're saying is, I heard that the winter in the south is wet and cold, and the northerners probably will freeze to death when they go there."

"Aren't the jewelry and materials over there particularly beautiful?"

Mrs. Zhang also interjected for fun.

"Yes, they are more exquisite and beautiful than ours. I will bring back a lot of them. There are your gifts. I will sort them out and send them to you tomorrow. Everyone will have a share."

Huilan chose a lot of good materials and jewelry to give back to others. Although they were not made by the imperial court, Yangzhou's things are very fashionable and worth wearing.

"Oh! Thank you so much, we won't refuse, big eater."

Qian winked at Zhang and the others, laughing and teasing.

"You! Are the children in good health these days? Are your sisters in good health? Is there anything interesting happening in the palace?"

Huilan habitually needs to understand the surrounding situation and information first.

"We are very good with the children. You and His Highness are not here. We just play cards and play in the house for a while. Not long ago, I heard that Empress Li was reprimanded by the emperor for her improper service. It has been a month They didn’t even enter her palace, and the Empress Dowager also called someone to give her a severe reprimand, but I couldn’t find out what happened.”

Qian covered her mouth with her hand and whispered in Huilan's ear.

"Don't inquire, it's a taboo, knowing a thing or two is enough, what about the queen?"

"There hasn't been much movement recently. Mrs. Ma goes to invite Ann once a month, but nothing has changed."

"Well, is there anything else?"
