Concubine Ning sat in the upright position, looking at Lu Qingtang who was holding her belly with a wary look on her face, wishing she could swallow her alive.
But Lu Qingtang slowly walked to the chair next to her and sat down, smiling: "Why are you looking at me like this? I'm not a bad person."
"Stop talking nonsense, what are you talking about!" Concubine Ning's eyes were full of anger.
Lu Qingtang picked up the fruit plate on the side, picked off two grapes, held one in his hand, and peeled off the coat of the other.
She put the grapes with their coats peeled off into her mouth and said slowly: "Of course, let's talk about the people we are related to. Mo Zeshen, let's talk about his biological mother."
This grape is very sweet, sweet to the core.
Concubine Ning was shocked and immediately said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lu Qingtang was peeling another grape. After hearing these words, he couldn't help but look up at her.
"Concubine, please stop acting. Are you tired? Why are you pretending to do something so obvious? I've never eaten pork and I haven't seen pigs running? Besides, I am also a pork eater now." Lu Qingtang threw the grapes into his mouth In, "Whose mother would treat her son like this? No matter how much she dislikes him, it's just a piece of meat that has fallen off her body. But in Mo Ze's eyes, he is just an appendix. You hate him so much, how can you have the nerve to open your mouth?" "
This grape was a bit sour. Lu Qingtang curled his lips in disgust and took out the handkerchief in his hand to wipe his mouth.
She continued: "Just like the fruits on a bunch of grapes, the taste is very different. The big grape never dislikes its little grape, and still gives it nutrients to let it grow up. But you Well, I wish that he would be ruined and his reputation was ruined, and if you see him living a better life, you will impatiently want to offend him. Are you my mother?"
After listening to Lu Qingtang's words, Concubine Ning snorted coldly.
"Tell me what you want to do."
She didn't admit it, but she didn't deny it either. This was a disguised admission.
Lu Qingtang felt depressed, and she also hoped that Concubine Ning was really partial, so that Mo Zeshen would feel better.
But she couldn't deceive herself.
She stuffed the handkerchief she had wiped her hands into her sleeves and raised her eyes to look at Concubine Ning, "Mo Zeshen doesn't know about this. Please behave yourself in the future. Everyone will be safe from now on. Otherwise, your crime of deceiving the emperor is not It can be solved by crying, making trouble and hanging."
She didn't want to hide it from Mo Zeshen, but she wanted to find out who his biological mother was.
It won't be too late to tell him once everything is clear.
Due to Concubine Ning's temperament, she would not tell her the information about Mo Zeshen's biological mother, so there was no need to ask directly.
It's useless to ask, so why waste your time.
"Is it that simple?" Concubine Ning didn't believe it.
Lu Qingtang stood up and smiled at her: "Don't worry, what I disdain the most is intrigues. We, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, have to continue acting, why do we need to get our heads broken and bloody."
The implication is that it is good for both you and me to continue to pretend, so why bother tit-for-tat.
Anyway, I’ve been pretending for so long, and it’s quite tiring to be serious.
Concubine Ning felt relieved now and immediately started laughing, "Yes, Princess Chen is sensible. Do you want to go back now? I'll see you off?"
She had the handle in Lu Qingtang's hands, so she naturally didn't dare to neglect it.
Mo Zeshen is very popular now, and Lu Qingtang is also very holy. She can't fall out now. If His Majesty finds out, it will affect her Qing'er.
She had to wait for the opportunity, wait until the right time, and then catch all the couples.
"Then Concubine Lao Mu is here." Lu Qingtang said and turned around and walked out without being polite at all.
Concubine Ning was full of hatred in her heart, but she still pretended to send Lu Qingtang out of the palace with a smile on her face.
In front of the palace gate, the palace officials of Qingquan Palace, as well as Mo Zeshen and Su Mu, all watched eagerly. When they saw the two people walking out talking and laughing, their jaws dropped.
"I thought I was going to attract the imperial army just now. How come they both became so polite after saying a few words?"
"Could it be that they shook hands and made peace? But Concubine Ning doesn't seem to be such a person?"
"What the hell happened?"
…
Even Mo Zeshen couldn't help but ask Su Mu next to him, "Does the princess have anything to do with my mother-in-law?"
Otherwise, how could Concubine Ning have a smile on her face in such a short time?
Su Mu shook his head, "How did I know? I thought you knew."
"I know, why should I ask you?" Mo Ze gave her a deep look.
Su Mu curled his lips, stepped forward to help Lu Qingtang, and reminded her: "Princess, we have to go back to Longqing Palace to have dinner with the Queen Mother as soon as possible. Don't let her wait in a hurry."
Lu Qingtang immediately looked at Concubine Ning, put on a smile and said: "Thank you, Concubine Mother, for your warm hospitality. We and I will not stay at Qingquan Palace. The Empress Dowager is still waiting for us to come and have dinner."
"Then since it's the Queen Mother who is having dinner, we can't delay. Come over quickly. What a good girl." Concubine Ning also did her part, looking like she was smiling but not smiling.
Mo Zeshen looked at these two people laughing harder than crying, and immediately got goosebumps all over his body.
Despite the dissatisfaction in his heart, he bowed and saluted Concubine Ning: "Concubine, let's leave first. We'll come see you another day... when our son is free."
"Okay, I'll definitely come here often in the future!" Concubine Ning smiled so hard that her face turned sour, and she looked at Mo Zeshen with boredom in her eyes.
Mo Zeshen: "..."
You must come often, you must often come and hang out at the door.
Not willing to stay any longer, he immediately took Lu Qingtang and Su Mu out of Qingquan Palace.
After leaving Qingquan Palace, Mo Zeshen couldn't wait to ask Lu Qingtang what he had said to Concubine Ning.
"Nothing, just chatting about home affairs. The more we talk, the more interesting we become." Lu Qingtang smiled mysteriously.
Mo Zeshen knew from the look on her face that she was not telling the truth, so he held his head high and walked swaggering in front, "If you don't tell me to pull you down, who cares to listen!"
I know he wants to know, but now is not the right time to tell him.
Recalling what Concubine Shu had told him, Lu Qingtang decided to ask the Queen Mother at the dinner table, maybe she could know something about Wang Cairen.
"Are you talking about the Wang Cairen who lost his child?" The Queen Mother sighed slightly, "That was also a poor man. The child died after he was born. I also went to take a look. The child was covered in bruises and looked like a child. She was suffocated to death in her stomach. But Wang Cairen was a little strange. She didn't cry or make a fuss at that time, and she didn't even bother to look at the child. She just sat there blankly, as if the child was not hers."
Before the Queen Mother finished speaking, she immediately breathed a few words, "Amitabha, how could I say such unlucky words in front of you? It's such a sin!"
"It's okay, Queen Mother, isn't that what I asked?" Lu Qingtang quickly gave the Queen Mother a piece of tofu, and then asked, "What happened next? Then Wang Cairen fell out of favor like this?"
Her thoughts were all on the last sentence, "It's as if the child is not hers." Logically speaking, the loss of a child should be very sad, and very few people would be so rational.
Unless, she knows something.
