Chapter 161 Laughing Too Loud
"Okay, the Royal Madam will be your backer," the Queen Mother agreed with a smile, "Come on, we should go back. The sandwich cake you mentioned should be ready."
"It should be about time. I have to go back and check the account books after I finish eating. Empress Dowager, I still have a lot of things to do. In order to prepare for my plan of lying down in the future, I have to train some talents," Wen Yao supported the Empress Dowager and complained about the things she had to do every day as they walked back.
"Lie down? What do you mean by lying down? When you give birth to a son or daughter in the future, you still have to think about your children. Xiaojiu will have other children, and you will have to take care of them all. When they grow up, they will get married, and you will still have to worry about them. After your children start their own families, you still have to worry about them. It will be difficult if you are like me~" The Queen Mother was in a good mood. It was true that happiness comes from the comparison between people. In this comparison, she can enjoy the joy of children and grandchildren without giving birth to children, and she can relax every day. This life is good!
"Royal Mama, you can't even hold back your laughter," Wen Yao looked at the Empress Dowager with a hint of accusation, "Wow... My granddaughter-in-law is so miserable, and the Royal Mama is laughing at her~"
"Oh, poor thing~ Hahaha..." The Queen Mother took a look and couldn't help laughing out loud.
“…” I laughed too loudly. There is no love anymore. So let it be.
Many concubines saw Wen Yao and the Empress Dowager leaving the Imperial Garden. After all, this happened almost every day. In the past, those concubines would come up to them, but the Empress Dowager simply ignored them. They didn't want to be embarrassed every day, so they simply stopped coming up to them.
They were envious and jealous of Wen Yao who made the Empress Dowager happy, but since Wen Yao was running around all day, she was very popular. Although they were jealous, most of the time they were positive and would even talk about her in front of her when they met her. Only a few of them were really jealous with a twisted heart and wished that the Empress Dowager would suddenly turn against Wen Yao so that they would feel good!
But they could only think so. There was no conflict between Wen Yao and the Empress Dowager. Even after Yinqi's accident last month, Wen Yao chose to back down and coax the extremely sensitive Empress Dowager. It was clear that what they wished for would not come true.
For Wen Yao, it is more beneficial than harmful to please the Queen Mother. Just look at the Queen Mother's active support for her now. What's wrong with her suffering a little? Is that called grievance? That's the tribulation of the road to becoming a king.
On the southeast side of Qianqiu Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, Concubine Chen and Chang Ying watched the Empress Dowager and Wen Yao leave. Concubine Chen watched the Empress Dowager and Wen Yao chatting and laughing, "I have to say that this Ninth Concubine is really amazing. She has persuaded the Empress Dowager to favor her within two months of entering the palace."
"Who said it wasn't? Sister, I've seen that the Queen Mother favors the Ninth Concubine more than the Fifth Prince. The Ninth Concubine's mouth... She's really worthy of being Dong E." Chang Da Ying didn't have a trace of jealousy in her eyes, but there was indeed jealousy on her face, and there was a hint of sharpness in her gentle voice. After a moment, she tried to regain her composure, looked at Chen Guiren and added: "Sister, don't you think so? The Queen Mother hasn't even hugged the Seventeenth Prince many times."
Concubine Chen smiled softly, distanced herself from him, and walked eastward. "Sister Chang, you are joking. The Queen Mother treats all the princes and their wives the same. The Ninth Lady is also very filial and comforts the Queen Mother. Now the Queen Mother smiles more every day. As for how old the Seventeenth Prince is, the Queen Mother is also thinking about his health. Sister Chang, we should go back too. I wonder if the Seventeenth Prince misses me as his mother."
Chang Da Ying looked at Concubine Chen's back, her lips curled up slightly, her eyes flashed, and she quickly followed Concubine Chen, "Sister Chen is right, I was just joking, when Ninth Concubine came to Zhongcui Palace, she brought us gifts, Ninth Concubine is thoughtful, no wonder the Queen Mother likes her so much."
"My sister is talking about the furry cat pillow that the Ninth Concubine gave to Seventeen. Seventeen holds it every day. Fortunately, I made one for Seventeen these days. Concubine Rong even said that I was jealous of the Ninth Concubine," Chen Guiren also changed the subject, but she was thinking in her heart that she should stay away from Chang Da Ying in the future. The Ninth Concubine treated them, the concubines of lower status, equally and occasionally gave them small gifts that they could use!
This person got a lot, but she was not grateful at all. She even mentioned Dong Efei. Chen Guiren didn't want to have more contact with such an ungrateful person, in case something happened in the future and she would implicate herself, or even attack her one day!
Concubine Chen quickened her pace. Chang Yun did not catch up this time. The maid beside her whispered, "Concubine Chen has already gone far away. My lady, shouldn't we catch up?"
"What are you following? Didn't you see that she was deliberately trying to stay away from me? Haha... Concubine Chen gave birth to a prince but was not favored by the emperor. There is a reason for that. She is such a coward. She was not even as good as the Ninth Princess in the Seventeenth Prince's birthday. If it weren't for the Emperor's consideration for Concubine Rong, this birthday might not even be held," Chang agreed snorted disdainfully, then glanced in the southeast direction, "Humph, the Dong E family dares to do it but dares not let others say it?"
"My lady, walls have ears. The Ninth Lady is now very much loved by the Empress Dowager, and even more so by Concubine Yi," the maid reminded quietly, looking around, already breaking out in a cold sweat.
"What are you afraid of? There's no one else here. But speaking of the Empress Dowager, she was harmed by Consort Dong E, who caused her to be neglected by the late Emperor. I don't know what the Empress Dowager is thinking now. She actually favors his Ninth Consort." Chang agreed and snorted coldly, not caring at all. "Let's go, let's go back too. It's really a bummer!"
"My lady, will Concubine Chen stay away from you in the future?" The palace maid didn't want to continue this topic, as it would kill her, so she decisively changed the subject.
"Oh, didn't I make something for the Seventeenth Prince? I'll send a little every day, and Concubine Rong will naturally be confused and ask questions. Then I'll just say that I've offended Concubine Chen, and Concubine Rong will definitely ask Concubine Chen," Chang agreed with a smug smile on his face, and glanced at the maid beside him, "Our main lady really doesn't like the Queen Mother."
Maybe Rong Fei will shift her attention from Chen Guiren and her son to me, and then I might be recommended by Rong Fei and sleep with her more often.
Chang Ying was supported by a palace maid and returned to Zhongcui Palace. A person walked out from the southeast. It was Gao, the concubine of Yikun Palace. "My lady, Chang Ying actually dared to criticize the Queen Mother. Isn't she afraid of being blamed?"
Gao chuckled, "It's just a gamble. Even if we hear it, do I dare to complain? What's the point? It will only make me look mean. If the Queen Mother or the Emperor gives me a simple compliment, the other concubines in the harem will also regard me as a snake and scorpion."
