Chapter 456
It is always difficult for the mother to disturb her for too long. When Nianfu and her daughter retired from Queen Wang, they were kept by Wang Xu and invited them to speak in the side hall beside her.
After asking about the situation at home first, he talked about some gossip, and half-coveredly said, "The Queen's birth this time is premature, and the Imperial Doctor said it will be difficult for her to have another child in the future."
Is that going to tell them the reason?
Wang Xu looked at Nian Fu again, and his voice became even lower, "The Empress went to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager that day, but she accidentally slipped on the way back, so she gave birth prematurely."
Did the Empress Dowager do that? Nianfu's heartbeat suddenly jumped.
But Wang Xu knew that she was misunderstood and hurriedly said, "It's not that anyone is willing to do anything. It's just that it rained the day before, and the ground was wet and slippery. The queen suddenly didn't walk steadily, so she flashed. Originally, the queen said that the queen would not have to pay her respects from next month."
Nianfu understands it.
Even if the matter was not arranged by her old aunt, Queen Wang gave birth prematurely because of Queen Mu. If this responsibility is to be investigated, it will still be counted on her.
But the queen didn't make a fuss and asked Wang Xu to bring the conversation privately, which was to sell a favor to Prince Ping's Mansion. Of course, this favor would not be sold in vain, so please return it to her son in the future.
Nianfu was quite speechless.
Why can't this old aunt do something good? Mu Shaoqin always warned her daughter to avoid having any entanglements with the prince. It is best to be impartial and maintain neutrality, but now Empress Dowager Mu has added one to her family.
Although the 14th prince is still breastfeeding, they will grow up sooner or later. Even if the country is not as good as him after he grows up, he will always have to marry a wife and have children, right? He will also have to enfeoff the territory?
If he makes some mistakes and causes trouble, once he reaches a critical joint, if Queen Wang speaks, will Pingwang Mansion help or not?
Nianfu had a headache when he thought about it, and he really didn't want to see that old aunt.
But Hui Niang was just the time when she was famous. Since they entered the palace, how could they not go to pay their respects? She had to suppress her anger and went to Renshou Palace.
Before Kang Jierong left, she was sitting there talking to the Queen Mother about some gossip and reassuring her boredom.
Of course, gossip also has a theme. If Queen Wang’s theme is to show her merits, her theme is to give more rewards and dowry.
If she tried her best, Empress Dowager Mu was always absent-minded. Even if she mentioned Kang Shoujing's marriage several times, she had no expression.
On the contrary, as soon as he saw Hui Niang and her daughter, he immediately became energetic as if he was injected with chicken blood. He said, "Have you seen the queen?"
Nianfu choked up and thought to himself, why did he listen to this? It seemed that he would blame them for not coming first?
Hui Niang has had a lot of fights with her elder sister-in-law recently and is very skilled. He immediately said, "I should have come to congratulate the queen for a long time, but I am afraid that it will disturb the queen's rest, so I delayed my current life to this day. Fortunately, the queen is a sensible person. Thank you for your understanding, and finally I have not let down the Queen Mother's teachings."
What are these? Hui Niang is so erratic. She just went to visit the queen and went around to teach her. If she had an attack, wouldn’t it be a slap in the mouth?
Empress Dowager Mu was so angry that she was unable to get angry. She glanced coldly and seemed to be smiling, "You have become more and more clever recently."
Hui Niang smiled foolishly, "Mrs. Xie praised her. She dared not be smart, just want to say less wrong things. The weather has been cold these two days. How is the Queen Mother's health good?"
During many practical battles, Hui Niang has summarized an important experience. Quickly crooking the building is the best way to get rid of the blow.
"Okay, isn't that true?" Empress Dowager Mu continued to play regularly, "There are two more children in this palace. If you can tell me such good news, I guess the Ai family will be more energetic."
Shu Huiniang could not handle this trick for dozens of times, and she answered very smoothly, "The Empress Dowager's mind is really the same as mine, but a few days ago, Doctor Zou came to the door and prescribed a few doses of medicine for the prince. You also know that the prince is weak and needs to take care of himself as winter comes. I dare not take these things with him."
As Hui Niang said, she sighed vividly. She looked very virtuous and wanted to take a concubine for her husband, but she was afraid that he would be unable to do so and his self-esteem was frustrated.
Empress Dowager Mu raised a smile between her eyebrows, "Is that right? Then why did I hear that when Aunt Ruan entered the door, she had not been able to serve the prince yet?"
Hui Niang wanted to open her mouth and say that it was not up to her. Empress Dowager Mu immediately said, "Since the prince doesn't like this, you should have told me earlier. Choose a few people with suitable men to go back and keep them slowly in winter so that the prince can always have someone to look at. When the spring is coming, it will be almost done to get in touch, right?"
Hui Niang's face froze, and this time she couldn't answer the words.
Nian Fu looked at Kang Jierong with caution. Could it be that she was the one who was damned?
No, Kang Jierong is now focused on getting married. She is not that stupid. She will offend them at this time. Who is laying maggots in front of the empress dowager?
Before I could think too much, Nianfu spoke out to help my mother first, "The Queen Mother said it very well. Didn't you say you would choose a few maids a few days ago? Why not do it together?"
Since you must be intimidated, it is better to squeeze the person you choose to be better at grasping it.
Hui Niang understood the little eyes that her daughter had thrown over and wanted to answer the conversation, but the empress dowager said, "Since they are all maids, there are just a few that are useful in the Ai family. Why not just pick them now."
With the order, she immediately called a few maids in the palace who had been favored by her. They were fat and thin, and each had their own merits.
I thought that after I had finished picking, Hui Niang would give it to her next time. But today, looking at her sharp-tongued appearance, the empress dowager felt uncomfortable and had to make some trouble for her immediately.
Hui Niang's eyes were sunk, but Nianfu secretly pulled her mother and told her not to get angry. She was the one who chose it, but after she went back, wouldn't they have the final say?
Hui Niang thought about it and simply ordered the two most beautiful palace maids.
Her actions made Empress Dowager Mu, who originally wanted these two, hesitated for a moment, and instinctively sang the opposite in her heart. Her younger brother couldn't see it, so what's the use of being beautiful? So she chose two round and smooth bodies, and her body looked the best to give her.
After winning the battle, Empress Dowager Mu was in a good mood. Seeing Hui Niang so easy to talk, Kang Jierong stepped forward and said, "Princess Ping is really virtuous and generous, Empress Dowager has a better vision."
Nianfu and his daughter looked over at the same time, without saying a word.
Only Empress Dowager Mu felt that the success of the mother and daughter had a good mood. She looked at Kang Jierong and decided to win another battle.
"Jierong's marriage is approaching. Since she wants to marry from the house, you can prepare a dowry for her."
Kang Jierong was overjoyed and immediately thanked her.
Hui Niang smiled very "kindly", "Even if the Empress Dowager doesn't give instructions, are we so ignorant? Don't worry, not only her, but also her brother, we are prepared. But we are willing to help, and there is still an old aunt in the Kang family. If we do too much, we are afraid that people will think we are suspicious of using power to suppress others. Therefore, I am thinking of sending all the gifts to them to the Kang family and carrying them out when they get married. What do you think is good?"
If you say this, it is a compromise. Empress Dowager Mu won all the two battles and let them go with great satisfaction.
On the way back, Kang Jierong's attitude towards Hui Niang was obviously flattering, and she wanted to ride a car with her mother and daughter, but Hui Niang politely refused, and waited before getting in the car before she lowered her face and spat.
"When I see me let her have a big face!"
Nian Fu smiled secretly. She knew what good things Hui Niang had prepared. "But what to do with those two palace maids?"
Hui Niang was so open-minded that she said, "Let's open the road when you meet mountains and build a bridge when you meet water. The one named Ruan is still a precious concubine, and she didn't see any flowers, let alone two girls? She didn't want to fulfill her family immediately, so she should put it at home first. However, who came up with this bad idea in front of the empress dowager?"
Nianfu was also curious and thought for a long time, "At the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ruan Hanyan returned home. Could it be that she said something to her family?"
Thinking about it, there is also this possibility. Because she has not gotten the opportunity to serve Mu Shaoqin for a long time, she simply drags a few more people into the water, so she can take advantage of the troubled waters.
Ke Huiniang sneered after hearing this, "If she really does this, she will be so stupid. Can't you see obvious things? Your father will never want her. If she is smart, come and beg for mercy. Maybe I will find her an honest and honest man to marry her. Even if she can't give birth to a child, she may not be able to live. But if she does this, don't blame us for being ruthless in the future."
In fact, it is really impossible to say that Ruan Hanyan is stupid, but she forgot that the mistress of the Mu family is not an ordinary lady in the capital. She does not follow the ordinary road. She is in the countryside and fields. When she is popular, she can just fuck the shoulder pole and beat people. Unless you can handle her husband, these tricks will be useless to her.
Seeing that my mother is very comfortable dealing with these things now, Nianfu is so relieved that she doesn't care about it.
When they got home, before Hui Niang could speak, the two palace maids came to express their loyalty to Hui Niang very well.
They are not particularly handsome people. They have always followed the rules in the palace and have never dared to think that one day they will come to the Ping Palace as concubines.
Hui Niang is very famous in the capital, wise and rational, but violent. Such a mistress is not easy to provoke, so they told Hui Niang very bluntly that she would arrange everything in the future and would have no objection.
That's right, the obedient girl is more likable. Hui Niang directly arranged for them to go to the main room to serve her, not to serve Mu Shaoqin in close conscientiously, but to serve her.
This is not only a valuation of them, but also a test of them. If these two girls are obedient and honest, she will not mind giving them a generous dowry in the future and sending them to get married. As for some people who are waiting to take advantage of the situation, they will be disappointed.
Hui Niang was too lazy to even check it, so she let the starter's villain plot on her own.
