The Self-cultivation of the Noble Concubine Who Eats Melon

The Queen Mother misses her family and wants them to come to the palace to accompany her for a few days. Even if the Emperor is in Beijing, she will agree.

Yun Zhao had no reason to stop her, and naturally she would not stop him. However, she quietly used the corner of her eyes to check An Shutong's expression, but found that her expression was as usual, even too plain.

Generally speaking, it is a happy thing to see your mother soon.

Of course, it would be unpleasant to meet a mother and daughter like Song Yunzhao and Cai, but I have never heard of a bad mother-daughter relationship between An Shutong and Mrs. Gu Enhou.

Therefore, An Shutong's expression made Yun Zhao slightly interested.

If Yun Zhao didn't object to the third concubine, he wouldn't object either, so the matter was settled.

Then, the Queen Mother asked the imperial concubine to send a carriage and horse to bring Mrs. Gu Enhou into the palace.

Song Yunzhao immediately said: "The Empress Dowager just needs to rest assured. With your wishes, it is only a small matter to welcome Mrs. Gu'enhou into the palace."

Although she didn't know the Queen Mother's purpose yet, she vaguely realized that she couldn't summon people to the palace in her name, so she pointed out in her words that it was the Queen Mother's decree to summon people.

An Shutong finally raised her head at this time, her eyes lightly glanced at the imperial concubine, and then turned away to look at the queen mother. It seemed to be just an ordinary action.

But Yun Zhao still felt a little weird.

Concubine Zhuang is a person who reacts very quickly. Before Concubine Shu came around the corner, she immediately said with a smile: "What the imperial concubine said is, please use the seal of the queen mother."

Only when the Queen Mother used her seal to seal the edict, the edict was considered to have been issued by Shoukang Palace.

Concubine Shu originally wanted to say no need to bother, but when she looked at Concubine Zhuang, she immediately shut up.

The Queen Mother coughed lightly and said slowly: "It's just to announce someone's entry into the palace, so why go to the trouble of using a seal? Just bring the person in directly."

Song Yunzhao was sure that there must be something she didn't know about here. She smiled more and more kindly and looked at the Queen Mother and said: "The Queen Mother, before she left the capital, she told me to serve the Queen Mother well. The Queen Mother of Shoukang Palace." Everything must be recorded in a book for His Majesty's inquiry when the Emperor returns to Beijing. I don't want to go to such trouble, but I'm afraid it won't be easy for Him to explain when asked, so I still follow the palace rules so that I can act accordingly. "

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, obviously about to get angry.

Concubine Shu looked at the bad look and immediately got up and walked to the Queen Mother. She smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is not feeling well. I don't need to bother you with such a trivial matter. I'll just ask Concubine An to take the seal and use it."

When An Shutong heard this from the side, he looked at the empresses in embarrassment, and then his eyes fell on the Queen Mother, obviously thinking that the Queen Mother was the leader.

Things seemed to be at a standstill.

Song Yunzhao smiled and never took a step back.

Either the Queen Mother uses the seal to bring people into the palace, or the people can't get in. Anyway, Yun Zhao's imperial concubine seal can't be used.

If something happened to someone in the palace, she would not be able to explain it clearly.

Concubine Shu also understood now that the Queen Mother was unwilling to use the seal, but wanted the concubine to pick up the person.

Song Yunzhao didn't speak, but Concubine Shu was not one to keep her mouth shut. She immediately looked at An Shutong and said, "An Bin, what are you still dawdling about? The Queen Mother is waiting to see her family, so go quickly."

The expression on An Shutong's face froze. Being held up by Concubine Shu, she had no choice but to speak and looked at the Queen Mother, "The Queen Mother..."

The Queen Mother held back her anger and looked at Concubine Shu, "Why, if the Ai family doesn't need a seal, you won't accept this person?"

"Look at what you said. This is the person you want to see, the Queen Mother. After entering the palace, he will live in Shoukang Palace. If you don't use the seal of Shoukang Palace, whose seal should you use? If you use the seal of my Cuiwei Palace, I would dare Yes, I'm afraid that Mrs. Gu'enhou won't dare to enter the palace if she sees him."

Concubine Shu's words were too straightforward. The Queen Mother looked at An Shutong with a stern face, "Use the seal."

"Yes." An Shutong bent his knees slightly, then entered the inner hall and quickly obtained the Queen Mother's seal.

Concubine Shu also asked the Queen Mother to get paper and pen, and respectfully asked the Queen Mother to write down the decree in her own hand. At this point, the Queen Mother did not hesitate to write down the pen. Seeing An Shutong sealing it, the Queen Mother waved her hand and started to chase people away.

Song Yunzhao left with the three concubines. As soon as they left, the Queen Mother looked at An Shutong and cursed, "You useless thing."

An Shutong lowered his eyes and frowned, and said with a hint of grievance: "Yes, it's all my incompetence that has let down the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother became even more angry when she saw An Shutong's appearance, "You can go down too, I don't need you to serve the Ai family anymore."

An Shutong curtsied. This time she did not stay in Shoukang Palace, but put on a big cloak and returned to her Huayang Palace.

After Qin Xiyue's death, she was promoted to concubine, and the main hall of Huayang Palace was occupied by her.

The main hall of Huayang Palace has already been completely renovated, completely different from when Qin Xiyue was here.

She hated Qin Xiyue and cleaned up all her traces. Even the flowers, plants and trees planted in Huayang Palace were replaced.

At this time, she was standing in front of the window of the bedroom. Although it was daytime, it was gloomy, and the north wind was howling, just like her current situation, surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Yingxue walked in quietly, and seeing that her master looked bad, she said softly: "Master, do you really want to take your wife into the palace?"

"I can't make the decision. Naturally, it's up to the Queen Mother to say what she says." An Shutong said lightly.

"But..." Yingxue hesitated, not knowing how to express her current mood, with a bit of anxiety on her face, "Master, you have to think more about yourself."

An Shutong was silent for a moment, and then said after a while: "I just think for myself, but I'm afraid others won't believe me."

One is her biological aunt, and the other is her biological mother.

She was caught in the middle, and no one could be in charge or take care of things.

"Why don't you go see the Imperial Concubine again? Maybe the Imperial Concubine will be willing to help." Yingxue said hurriedly.

"No, the concubine is a smart person. You didn't see it today. Even though she didn't know what pit was dug in front of her, the concubine just walked around the pit to avoid it. For such a smart person, even if I surrender, it will be useless."

After all, she could neither bring down the Queen Mother nor her own mother, and she had no sincerity in surrendering, so how could the noble concubine help her.

"Is this the case? But if the incident really comes to light, what will you do, master? If the imperial concubine and the third concubine cannot do anything to the Queen Mother, they will definitely anger you." Yingxue was about to cry.

"This is probably fate." An Shutong said with a cold face. She shouldn't have entered the palace by chance in the first place. She should have tried her best to avoid it. It's not that she couldn't do it, but she couldn't give up after all. The temptation of glory and wealth.

Today is her retribution.

If Qin Xiyue knew about it, he would probably jump up from the coffin board and laugh at her.

Even if she overthrows Qin Xiyue, she will end up with her in the end.
