Chapter 962 Mother, stepmother, concubine, you two didn't speak ill of the baby, did you? (first update)
Chapter 971

Empress Dowager Xiang's face was full of resentment and resentment, her hands were clenched into fists, her nails had already been dug into the backs of her fingers, but she didn't realize it.

"Other people's Aijia is not rare, but if it belongs to Aijia, no one can take it away from Aijia!"

The empress dowager's shrill growl echoed endlessly in the Qingshou Palace, and all the eunuchs and maids were terrified, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.

Fortunately, the chief eunuch next to him saw that he had vented his anger to the queen mother, so he approached cautiously. "Your Majesty, now is not the time to get angry. You are the Empress Dowager. You have to make up your mind. You can't. Let the one from Ningshou Palace take advantage of you..."

Hearing this, Queen Mother Xiang soon came to her senses and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "That's right, no matter how angry the Ai family is, so what? It's impossible for the Ai family to sit still and wait for death."

"Hurry up, prepare a car for Ai's family and go to Ningshou Palace. Since the mother and queen have gone there, if Ai's family doesn't join in the fun, wouldn't it appear that my daughter-in-law is too unenthusiastic..."

Soon, there was a rush in the Qingshou Palace, and the Empress Dowager, who didn't even have time to change her clothes, simply brought a thick and warm fur and put it on her body, and hurriedly walked towards the Ningshou Palace. Go.

#####
His face was anxious, even with a trace of ferocity, Xiang Hou walked to the door, and then he paused deliberately to calm the turmoil in his heart, and then walked into the room with a gentle face, and walked towards the empress dowager. The Empress Dowager Gao Tao bowed. "The concubine sees the queen mother..."

Naturally, it was impossible for Concubine Zhu De to stay with the Queen Mother Gao Taotao at this time. She had stepped aside early and waited until she saluted the Queen Mother Gao Taotao.

Concubine Zhu De quickly saluted the Queen Mother. "The concubine has seen the queen mother, and the concubine is far away, really..."

Smiling politely and reservedly to the queen mother, she turned her head and said respectfully to Gao Taotao. "Sister, you don't have to be like this. You and my sister don't deserve such a status. Just now, my concubine was relaxing in the back garden. When I heard that my mother is nearby, I hurried over to say hello to my mother..."

Looking at the slightly flimsy clothes on the Empress Dowager, and the snow-white fox fur that was clearly put on hastily, Gao Taotao, who is mature and sophisticated, naturally didn't bother to expose it.

"Xiang Shi, come here and sit down. It's almost winter now. If you still go to the garden to hang out at this time, don't get sick because of a whim. That's not good."

Gao Taotao smiled and patted his side, seeing Concubine Zhu De standing there after the Queen Mother sat down, still looking a little at a loss, his heart softened, and he waved to Concubine Zhu De.

"Come here, you are the master of this palace, there is no reason for our guests to sit while your master stands, come, sit here at Ai's house..."

"My concubine thanked my mother..." After Concubine Zhu De thanked her, she sat on the other side.It's just that at this time, the Empress Dowager seemed very familiar and opened up the topic with the Empress Dowager.

However, Gao Taotao was always able to calmly let Concubine Zhu De join in the conversation from time to time, at least not making the situation too embarrassing.

But the more she did this, the more the anger in Queen Mother Xiang's heart became more and more intense.

However, facing the mighty Empress Dowager Gao Taotao, she tried her best to hide her anger and spoke softly.

"By the way, sister, the Meng family has given birth to a pair of sons and daughters, and the official family can be considered to have both sons and daughters, but the Tian family is not an ordinary family. One son and one daughter are not enough. You should persuade Your Majesty more. , so that our palace can be more lively and lively..."

"Your Majesty said that if a concubine can see the official family, she will definitely tell the official family." Concubine Zhu De replied with some panic.

"What are you telling me or not? Empress Mother, look, concubines are just such a common thing to say, but my sister is like this. It's really hard for me to do..." Empress Dowager Xiang looked helplessly at Empress Dowager Gao Taotao and smiled wryly. road.

"Hehe, Mrs. Zhu, you, you are His Majesty's biological mother. If you want His Majesty to have a prosperous offspring, it's not a big deal to just tell the officials. What else do you need to tell..." Gao Taotao patted gently Patted the back of Concubine Zhu De's hand and smiled.

"What the queen mother said is that concubines actually think the same way, it's just the temperament of the officials..." Concubine Zhu De looked at Gao Taotao's gentle and kind face, her heart felt hot, and she mustered up her courage.

"The Ai family and the queen mother also know about the temperament of the official family, but the official family is a junior. Could it be possible that we elders will be annoyed by a few words of persuasion out of kindness?"

"Well, there is some truth in what Xiang said, but ah, according to the opinion of the Ai family, Xiang is the queen mother, and Zhu, you are the official mother, and you are the elders of the official family. Whoever has the heart, go Tell the officials. If the officials dare to be annoyed, the Ai family will stand up for you and uphold justice."

"But I have to say this again. Whether it is an ordinary family or our Tian family, don't forget a sentence. Family and everything will prosper..."

The emperor who hurried from the Queen's Funing Palace to Ningshou Palace had already arrived at the gate, he stopped the eunuch who was waiting at the palace gate from announcing his welcome, but waited quietly Outside the door, the answers of the three people inside could be clearly heard.

It can also be found out that Xiang Tai, who hid the needle in the cotton, has been targeting his own biological mother, Concubine Zhu De.The imperial grandmother was in the middle, trying to maintain a calm situation, at least not embarrassing her own mother.

This made the emperor Zhao Xu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard the Queen Mother speak again.Complaining to the Empress Dowager that he sent a woman to the emperor, the emperor not only didn't appreciate it, but also sent that woman to the imperial hospital. When it was clear that she, the empress dowager, was not in his eyes, Zhao Xu couldn't calm down anymore .

Seeing the emperor Zhao Xu's gaze, the eunuch immediately raised his voice subconsciously. "His Majesty is here!"

In an instant, the empress dowager's chattering voice fell silent. She never thought that the emperor would come at this time.

After waiting for a few breaths, Zhao Xu appeared at the door and slowly entered the room with a submissive smile on his face. "Greetings to the emperor's grandmother, greetings to the queen mother and concubine mother..."

"The official came at the right time, and the Ai family is talking about you with your mother and concubine." Gao Taotao saw Zhao Xu's very calm expression, and thought that this brat is getting better at disguising .

However, since you waited for a few breaths before appearing, you should at least make the sound of your footsteps from far to near. If you dodge in front of the door like this, doesn't it mean telling everyone present that you are eavesdropping blatantly? ?

"Really? Mother, stepmother, concubine, you two didn't speak ill of the baby, did you?" Zhao Xu said half jokingly and half seriously after haha ​​with a smile on his face.

At this moment, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face became awkward, and Concubine Zhu De quickly shook her head. "The officials can't talk nonsense..."
