After the marriage between Xu Yanquan and Princess Zhengyang was settled, Mrs. Xu was invited into the palace by the queen in order to discuss the marriage. Mrs. Xu was worried that she could not remember so many things, so she brought Xu Qingmo into the palace together.
As soon as he reached the entrance of the Queen's Palace, Xu Qingmo heard a commotion in the room, and a woman's voice was very sharp: "...You said it nicely, but in the end it was not your daughter who married him..."
Madam Xu looked back at Xu Qingmo, then looked at Huizhu, and said softly: "Aunt Huizhu, why don't we go somewhere else for a walk first!"
Huizhu naturally heard the voice inside, frowned, and then said: "Madam and girl, let's go to the tea room and sit for a while first. Your Majesty has got some good tea recently, and it's just right for Madam and girl to have a taste!"
Madam Xu and Xu Qingmo naturally didn't say anything, so they followed obediently.
Unexpectedly, the quarrel inside didn't last long. Just when they were about to bypass the guest room and go to the tea room, Concubine Xian suddenly rushed out of the guest room and accidentally bumped into Mrs. Xu.
Madam Xu looked at Concubine Xian with red eyes in front of her, paused, and then pulled Xu Qingmo to salute Concubine Xian: "I have seen Concubine Xian!"
Concubine Xian probably didn't expect that the Xu family would come to the palace at this time, so she forced a smile and said, "You are here to discuss marriage with the Queen, right?"
"Back to Concubine Xian, this is just a normal greeting when entering the palace!" Mrs. Xu said softly.
Some time ago, Concubine Xian's family had asked someone to come to the house, and they were talking about Xu Yanquan's marriage. At that time, Concubine Xu used the excuse that he was not her biological mother to shirk the marriage.
Now, when I saw Concubine Xian in the palace, she was having a dispute with the Empress about the marriage, so that when Mrs. Xu stood there, she just felt uncomfortable all over.
Concubine Xian looked back at the Queen's Palace, then at Madam Xu, and finally shouted coldly: "You are a clinging to power!"
Xu Qingmo frowned slightly: "Concubine Xian, be careful what you say. As the saying goes, business cannot be done without mercy. You have to think about your family."
Mrs. Xu was startled and quickly reached for Xu Qingmo's hand, but she easily dodged it: "If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go and tell His Majesty or the Queen, what's going on with taking out your anger on my mother? ?”
Concubine Xian looked at Xu Qingmo, her chest heaving with anger: "Is there any place for you to talk here?"
"She is a guest invited by this palace, why doesn't she have the right to speak?" The queen walked out of the room. She looked at Concubine Xian coldly, showing no anger or authority.
The queen is the empress of the middle palace. Although she is usually gentle and kind, she manages the entire harem after all. If she has no skills, how can she control the entire harem?
Mrs. Xu and Xu Qingmo hurriedly paid their respects to the Queen. The Queen personally helped them up, then looked at Concubine Xian and said, "Just now, I made the matter very clear. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can go to His Majesty." , don’t make trouble here in this palace!”
Concubine Xian was so angry that she gritted her teeth and finally had no choice but to throw up her sleeves and leave.
The queen looked at Concubine Xian walking away, then turned back to Mrs. Xu: "I've made you angry!"
Mrs. Xu quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, but it's embarrassing for the Queen."
Huizhu hurriedly stepped forward: "Queen, madam, you'd better go inside and talk!"
The Queen took Mrs. Xu's hand and walked into the house: "Earlier, Concubine Xian came to beg me for her daughters, Princess Chaoyang and Princess Shaoyang!"
Mrs. Xu nodded: "I understand!"
The Queen sighed softly: "You and I both understand the current situation, and I never thought that Your Majesty would point out my Zhengyang to your boy in the end. She was dissatisfied and felt that it was me who She was plotting against her, so she came here to cause trouble in this palace."
Mrs. Xu roughly guessed that this was the reason, so she nodded: "Concubine Xian is also doing it for the two princesses!"
"Ignore her, the reason why you entered the palace today was for the marriage between Zhengyang and General Xu. I have married several princesses. I still know the general process, but I don't know if there is anything special about the Xu family. Rules?" The queen pulled Mrs. Xu to sit down and said softly.
Mrs. Xu shook her head: "The Xu family is a military general. There are so many rules. It's better to stick to the princess!"
The queen immediately laughed: "From now on, you will be her mother-in-law. Whatever princess you want to be called, just call her Ying'er!"
"It's not necessary, there are still the rules that should be in place!" Mrs. Xu said quickly.
The Queen smiled, and then gently patted Mrs. Xu's hand: "To be honest, I never thought that we would have the opportunity to become in-laws. That boy in your family has always been my favorite. It’s just that it’s hard to say more because of my status, but now it’s a strange combination of circumstances!”
Mrs. Xu also liked Princess Zhengyang very much when she thought about it, but she felt a little embarrassed when she thought about Xu Yanquan's unenlightened look: "Princess Zhengyang is the most well-behaved and sensible person, but that boy in my family has only known how to study and practice martial arts since he was a child. , I don’t know how to make the girl’s family happy at all, because I’m afraid that the princess will be wronged when she marries him.”
"Your Marquis is not one who knows how to make a girl happy, but as long as he has been in the capital these years, he has been keeping a close watch on your mother-in-law. He may not be that knowledgeable, but he is still a good man!" The queen looked at Xu Da. Madam, she said softly.
Speaking of this, compared to Xu Xiaozhen, Marquis Ningyuan has indeed been a law-abiding person for so many years. Not only does he not have any concubines, he doesn't even have a common room, and he is only served by young guards and a few maids. I still picked the ones I sent over. After so many years, they were just ordinary maids.
The Queen and Mrs. Xu have a boudoir relationship. Just looking at her, you can tell what Mrs. Xu is thinking in her heart: "Those operas about being a couple for life are not true at all. Love is love." Love, how can it be as real as living a comfortable life?"
Mrs. Xu looked at the queen for a long time. The queen had tried her best to survive safely in this deep palace. How could she be so sad for some love.
After a long time, Mrs. Xu nodded gently: "I have never married a daughter-in-law. For everything, I need more help from the master of ceremonies in the palace!"
The queen naturally agreed: "That's natural. Whatever you want, you can come and talk to me!"
