Chapter 318 Selection

There is no queen in the harem, and Concubine Li has always been in charge of the Sixth Palace. In the past, when the Queen Mother saw that the emperor liked her, she was willing to give her some respect.

Now the Queen Mother did not immediately ask the concubine to stand up.

The Queen Mother had been robbed of her children, so she naturally felt that the imperial concubine had overstepped her bounds. At this time, the old lady beat the imperial concubine in front of all the concubines.

The imperial concubine has been pampered since she entered the palace. She has never been in such a difficult situation. At this moment, she is kneeling on the ground. The other concubines cannot sit still, so they naturally kneel behind her.

But even if the others were kneeling, they were not as frightened as the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine raised her head and was about to continue to say a few words of begging for mercy, but when she raised her head, she happened to see Niu Niu in the Queen Mother's arms, looking at her with curious eyes.

Concubine Li's heart skipped a beat. She felt that this scene was unexpectedly familiar.

She was very angry at Niu Niu's behavior of still looking around in the Queen Mother's arms. She felt as if the person she was kneeling on was not the Queen Mother, but Niu Niu!

The daughter of a top scholar deserves to be allowed to kneel!

The Queen Mother didn't think anything was wrong. Not only did she let Niu Niu sit safely in her arms, but she also casually brought the newly made Xueyun Cake in the kitchen to Niu Niu's mouth.

The Queen Mother seemed not to know that Ulala was kneeling in the whole room. Instead, she said lovingly to Niu Niu: "Good child, don't worry, the imperial concubine already has an adopted daughter in the palace, and she will not **** her away from you."

Niu Niu breathed a sigh of relief and showed a sweet smile towards the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother felt that her heart was about to melt. She handed a piece of pastry to Niu Niu and asked, "Are the pastries made in the imperial kitchen delicious? Do you like them?"

Niu Niu took a piece of Xueyun cake, which she ate by herself, and she was thinking about her good friends.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, and immediately a waiter brought cakes to the other four little girls.

When Niu Niu finished eating one snow cloud cake, the little girl nodded vigorously and said, "It's delicious. This is the best snow cloud cake I have ever eaten!"

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression softened again, and she turned to Li Shunfu who was standing aside and said, "The imperial kitchen made good pastries today. I'll reward you."

Li Shunfu responded respectfully, and took another look at the fair and lovely little girl who was still nestling in the Empress Dowager's arms, thinking that the Empress Dowager was truly doting on her.

Niu Niu looked at the concubines kneeling on the floor and felt that the atmosphere was strange. She asked the Queen Mother in a milky voice: "Grandma, the Queen Mother, why are they all kneeling?"

As if she had just been reminded, the Queen Mother said to the imperial concubine: "If Guabao hadn't asked, the Ai family would have forgotten that the imperial concubine is still kneeling. Get up."

The Queen Mother said this, but she was actually selling a favor to Niu Niu.

However, as soon as the imperial concubine saw Niu Niu's face, she felt extremely irritated. Even if she got the favor, she still couldn't get rid of the grudge.

The concubines all stood up. They had no ill intentions towards Niu Niu, but they felt that the Queen Mother valued Niu Niu. Their eyes were eager, and they wanted to coax Niu Niu into their palace. Even if they could not attract children, the Queen Mother would still favor her. OK

The concubines who had been praising Niu Niu all the time now made even greater efforts to praise Niu Niu to the top of the world, as if Niu Niu was the best baby in the world.

Even an honest and dull person like Li Zhaoyi couldn't help but say at this time: "Such a cute little girl said that she is willing to call me mother, I'm afraid I will wake up laughing in the middle of the night."

The Queen Mother took advantage of the situation and said, "That's natural. Our dear baby is a lucky baby praised by the whole capital. It's because of the good luck of the Gu family. My dear dear, do you like this empress?"

Niu Niu nodded and said: "This empress looks kind and I like her very much."

The Queen Mother then said: "Then are you willing to live with her? Will you call her mother?"

The anticipation in Li Zhaoyi's eyes almost solidified.

But Niu Niu slowly shook her head.

Both the Queen Mother and Li Zhaoyi couldn't help showing disappointment in their eyes. Niu Niu asked: "Grandma the Queen Mother, do I have to call my other aunt my mother? Do I have to recognize my godmother again?"

The Queen Mother's original intention was just to let these children call the concubines in the harem mother for a while. If she could really recruit children and identify them as godfathers and godmothers, it would not be a big deal.

But if you give the emperor six goddaughters in one go, it would not only look cheap, but it would also make people laugh at the fact that the royal family is crazy about having children.

But now I only recognize Niu Niu, and most of the other little girls have important officials in the court, so we can't let them feel cold about this kind of thing.

"Good boy, if you don't want to, then forget it." The Queen Mother first found a step for herself.

Niuniu still pressed against her and said, "Can I live with you? I like you the most."

These words fell on the ears of all the concubines in the palace, and they just thought that Niuniu was a thief, and she suddenly chose the thickest thigh to hug.

But the Queen Mother, who was usually as spunky as ever, now had a smile on her face and said, "My darling."

That smiling look was almost the same as that of the folk old lady who was coaxed into confusion by her great grandson.

The eldest princess even cooperated with the jealousy and said: "My dear, what about me? Don't you like me the most?"

Niu Niu immediately said: "I like you the most in the princess's mansion."

When the concubines heard the little girl's "restricted liking", they thought that the two above were the ones who could suffer such injustice, and they would definitely be unhappy because of it.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess gently revealed the matter, reached out and touched Niu Niu's forehead, and said affectionately: "Little clever devil."

Niu Niu was poked by her and hid in the Queen Mother's arms again.

When the Queen Mother had finished laughing, she seemed to have just remembered that there was still a group of people waiting. She turned her head and looked at the people in the palace and said, "The days in the palace are long, and it is always good to have a child by your side to keep you company." , Li Zhaoyi, the girls in the Xianguo Palace are also loved by others, you have to educate them well, do you understand? "

The Queen Mother originally thought that this kind of thing must be a close match, and that the adoptive mother and the adopted daughter must be in love with each other, so she let Niu Niu choose. However, she was also afraid that other little girls would imitate Niu Niu and not find the adoptive mother, so she simply appointed her directly.

After Li Zhaoyi heard this, he glanced at Niu Niu eagerly, then stood up and thanked the Queen Mother. She was not Concubine Li, and she had the courage to pick on the Queen Mother.

"Wang Jieyu, you take care of that girl from the Liu family, Zheng Guibi, you take care of..."

The Queen Mother assigned several girls to several principal positions in the palace.

The women in the palace looked forward to the child until their eyes turned green. Although they were adopted daughters now, they had nothing to choose from if they had a child by their side.

After the Queen Mother assigned the children, she lowered her head and saw Niu Niu's eyes looking around the entire harem. Even the concubines who were standing further back stood on tiptoes and stretched their necks to take a look.

The Queen Mother asked: "My dear, are you looking for someone?"

Niuniu nodded honestly.

"Who are you looking for?" the Queen Mother wondered.

"Looking for someone I've met." Niu Niu said.

The imperial concubine could not directly contact the Queen Mother, but she gave her vassal Liu Meiren a look.

Liu Meiren immediately asked Niu Niu: "Miss Gu, when I didn't choose Empress Li Zhaoyi before, I thought you would follow the Queen Mother. Now that you are looking around, do you want to choose someone again? Could it be that before entering the palace, your family already told you who to choose? ?”
