Chapter 317 Gaffe

Concubine Li's slender hand pressed against the armrest of the chair, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip. If she hadn't been wearing armor, she would have torn off a piece of the chair on the spot.

When she heard the words "Grandma Queen Mother", her expression turned ugly, as if a nightmare in her heart was playing out in front of her.

The Queen Mother has been holding Niu Niu, but the eldest princess is different. Her eyes are mainly observing the women in the room.

Since Niuniu entered the palace as a lucky child, she would definitely not live with the Queen Mother all the time. She would definitely find an adoptive mother for her in the harem. If she could successfully recruit children for her adoptive mother, it would be a great merit.

Logically speaking, Concubine Li is more suitable than anyone else as a high-ranking concubine in the palace, but the eldest princess has always disliked the way the Li family behaves. Even if Concubine Li has not offended her, she doesn't like Concubine Li very much.

Now the eldest princess saw the change in Concubine Li's expression. Although she didn't know what this change meant, the eldest princess knew that this was not a friendly expression to the child.

Concubine Li had been waiting in the palace for a long time. No matter how much her heart fluctuated, she calmed down in an instant, and then she became like the other concubines, looking at the little girls with a loving and peaceful smile.

The Queen Mother's obvious preference for Niu Niu can naturally be seen by others.

Even though Niu Niu's father, Gu Mingda, is now just a sixth-rank official who has just entered the Hanlin Academy, a group of concubines are now pouring out compliments as if they don't want money.

"As expected of the daughter of the number one scholar, her temperament is truly extraordinary!"

"I don't know if this scream from the Queen Mother is because I am dazzled. I really feel that you and Miss Gu are like grandparents. They are carved from the same mold."

This is completely nonsense. There are not many similarities between Niu Niu's appearance and the Queen Mother's.

But when the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't stop the joy on her face, and she held Niu Niu directly in her arms. The old man thought to himself, if the little granddaughter in the dream is here, will the little grandson be far away?

She really has the throne to inherit. Although no one would dare to be unfilial to her if she adopts a side branch, the Queen Mother naturally hopes that the throne will be passed to her own blood.

"My dear, look at the concubines in this room. Is there anyone you like?" the Queen Mother asked Niu Niu in a low voice.

Because the eldest princess helped eliminate Concubine Li, the Queen Mother naturally hoped that Niu Niu could choose a concubine with a higher position.

The Queen Mother actually already has a candidate in mind, and that is Li Zhaoyi.

Li Zhaoyi carefully discussed that she was somewhat related to the Queen Mother, but the blood relationship was a little distant. This person was honest and responsible, and her family was in a middle-class position. Even if she gave birth to a prince, she did not have to worry about her family being in trouble.

Li Zhaoyi's status was second only to Concubine Li, and the Queen Mother also wanted to take this opportunity to promote her.

Concubine Li was the favorite concubine in the Sixth Palace. Not only was she the only concubine, but the other concubines in the harem were also vacant.

Li Zhaoyi also looked at Niu Niu expectantly at this time.

After the initial panic, Concubine Li had already thought of a countermeasure. She had no idea that she was not on the list. Instead, she smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "Empress Dowager, no wonder you like this child so much. As soon as she came in, I felt the whole The room lights up, and I have never seen a cuter child than her.”

After Niu Niu heard the sound, she couldn't help but look at Concubine Li, but after just one glance, she couldn't help but hide in the Empress Dowager's arms.

The Queen Mother could naturally detect something strange about Niu Niu, and couldn't help but look at the imperial concubine again. The imperial concubine did not realize that her action attracted the attention of the Queen Mother. Instead, she continued to say with a smile: "The Queen Mother, such a well-behaved little girl, you might as well follow me back. I will definitely take good care of her."

Hearing this, the other concubines tightened their hands on the veil.

The imperial concubine was so embarrassed in front of the emperor that she would often coax the emperor into her palace with just a few words. There was no one in the palace who had not suffered at her expense.

Nowadays, the foster girls are just recruiting children, and they are watching helplessly as the imperial concubine tries to **** away the best one. Of all the concubines in the palace, the imperial concubine is the only one who has raised countless children by her side over the years. If one fails to raise another, now We must continue to eat and occupy more.

The concubines did not dare to speak to stop the noble concubine.

But Niu Niu couldn't help but shrink into the Empress Dowager's arms and whispered: "Grandma the Queen Mother, I don't want to be with the imperial concubine..."

Niu Niu couldn't figure it out. Concubine Li looked amiable, but as soon as she saw her, she felt a sense of frightening fear and wanted to stay as far away from this person as possible.

Even though the Queen Mother didn't know the reason, she protected Niu Niu firmly. She stretched out her hand and patted the little girl gently, and said to Concubine Li casually: "Don't you already have a little girl in your palace? You still follow me." What are others robbing?”

When Concubine Li heard this, her eyes narrowed, but then she acted as if nothing had happened, and said coquettishly: "The Queen Mother, I asked your concubine that day to take the lucky doll into the palace, and I am still waiting for you. Take luck."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she just felt that the emperor loved the imperial concubine too much. She had been offering incense and worshiping Buddha for many years, but she didn't know that the imperial concubine would dare to be so arrogant in front of her. From the beginning to the end, the imperial concubine looked determined to get Niu Niu.

"When we were drawing up the list of people to enter the palace, the imperial concubine acted coquettishly and made sure that Miss Li San also entered the palace. Now, as an aunt, you actually dislike your own niece?" the queen mother said as if she had no intention.

Miss Li San was the child who was disliked by the Queen Mother in the morning and was not allowed to enter Shoukang Palace to see her. When the concubines in the room heard this, some of them could not control themselves and started to laugh lowly.

Concubine Li's sinister eyes fell on the laughing concubines, scaring them into silence on the spot.

The Queen Mother was actually thinking more at this time. She liked Niu Niu, and after seeing Niu Niu in person, she felt more and more that Niu Niu was a lucky baby.

And the imperial concubine who was rejected by Niuniu, a lucky baby, now made the Queen Mother feel a little strange about the imperial concubine.

The Queen Mother did not think that the imperial concubine had harmed the emperor's heirs, but she could not help but feel that the imperial concubine was also suffering from bad luck, just as she disliked Miss Li San.

The imperial concubine didn't even know that she had been labeled like this. She only had one crazy idea in her mind: she must bring Niu Niu back to her palace, and she must not let the emperor see the child.

She smiled and said to the Queen Mother: "You can never have too many children."

The Queen Mother still looked unhurried and said: "Being greedy for too much and being too greedy has made me lose my sense of proportion. Little does the Ai family know that the surname of the harem is now Li."

Concubine Li had not realized the seriousness of the problem at first. When she heard this, her expression suddenly changed. She was so frightened that she stood up on the spot and knelt down to salute the Queen Mother: "I made a mistake, please forgive me and be considerate of my concubine Panzi." heart of."
