Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 468 Jing An

   The concubines suddenly became quiet.

   Even the most beloved Concubine Meng was treated like this by the Crown Princess. They are still a little better.

  Empress Qiao glanced at her and said lightly, "This palace is a little tired, you all go back to your respective palaces. Come back tomorrow and ask for peace."

  The concubines got up and left. Soon, it was all gone.

   Qiyun, who had been silent all this time, whispered with red eyes: "The status of a slave and maid is humble, why does the maiden make such a fuss for the slave maid and the concubine Meng!"

  Lu Mingyu turned to look at Qiyun, and said softly: "If you don't suppress her arrogance today, there will be more gossip in the future."

"That's right." Queen Qiao unexpectedly continued: "Concubine Meng has been arrogant and arrogant recently, and because of the emperor's favor, even this palace does not care about it. Today, I took advantage of this to beat her hard and warned her. Hold back. It's not all because of you. You don't have to be terrified."

  Qiyun looked grateful: "No matter what, the slaves have to thank the Queen Mother."

   said, he stepped forward, knelt down, and kowtowed three times.

   Queen Qiao stretched her brows and said with a smile: "Stop kneeling, get up! Look at your master, you already have a distressed look on your face."

  Lu Mingyu treats Qiyun with kindness, which is different from ordinary slaves. Qiyun's kneeling made Lu Mingyu really feel distressed.

Being used by Queen Qiao as a joke, Lu Mingyu was not embarrassed, and smiled calmly: "Qiyun grew up with me since childhood, and is called a master and servant, but in fact it is no different from a sister. It is my idea to let Qiyun return to the palace. The magnanimity of the mother has allowed me to be self-willed. I also have to thank the mother for that."

   While speaking, he motioned Qiyun to get up with his eyes.

   Qiyun's heart surged with heat, she stood up silently, and walked to Lu Mingyu's side.

   Just like the past ten years, no matter when and where, she will always be behind her master.

  …

   No matter how angry and annoyed Concubine Meng was, she still couldn't turn the tide.

   She couldn't even complain to Emperor Yongjia. Because Emperor Yongjia had warned her before, not to make trouble. It was she who was deliberately trying to be awkward, and ended up making a mess of herself.

Concubine Meng was sulking in Yanxi Palace. After Princess Jing'an came, she asked the truth, but she felt helpless: "Concubine Mother, it is a trivial matter if a Qiyun cannot enter the palace. It's awkward to find the second sister-in-law."

   The key is to be noisy and noisy, and it is not an opponent if you do it.

   Isn't this taking the initiative to send it to the door to be humiliated?

Concubine Meng snorted: "I just don't feel happy! I've been married to your royal father for so many years, and I'm the only one who can make people angry. Now it's better to be ridden on the head by a junior. This sulking, I can't do anything about it. I can't swallow."

  Before, she overwhelmed Queen Qiao in everything except not being a wife.

   In the past few years, she has lost her holy family little by little, and Queen Qiao's mother and son have become more and more powerful. Lu Mingyu, the prince concubine, was even more powerful, and no one in the harem dared to provoke her.

   She couldn't take this breath!

Princess Jing'an looked at Concubine Meng's faintly twisted face, and sighed helplessly: "I know Concubine Mu is depressed. But what can I do? The second brother is the Prince of Wei, and the second sister-in-law is the Prince of Wei. Wei Jiangshan belongs to their husband and wife. One day, everyone will have to bow their heads to live. It would be better for the mother and concubine to figure it out earlier."

   Figured it out!

Concubine Meng snorted again, and a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes: "What's wrong with the prince? Look at the previous dynasty, how many princes can safely succeed the throne? Your father, the emperor, was prosperous in spring and autumn, and it would not be a problem to live another twenty years. It's hard to say whether Li Jing can live to that day. What if Lu Mingyu is the prince concubine? Without the prince, she is nothing!"

  Princess Jing'an: "..."

  Princess Jing'an was shocked when she heard it, she grabbed Concubine Meng's hand suddenly, and said in a hurry, "Concubine Mother, how can you talk nonsense like this. If there is any wind, the three of us will not have a good life."

   Concubine Meng twitched the corners of her mouth: "What are you panicking about. There are only two of us here, mother and daughter, why don't you still spread the word everywhere!"

   "Of course I won't. But the concubine is full of resentment and injustice, and it is inevitable that she will reveal something when she speaks."

  Princess Jing'an raised her delicate brows, and her voice was full of worry: "Big brother is like this, and he is completely out of line with the high position. What is there to fight for, concubine? It is the right way to bow your head as soon as possible and live with peace of mind..."

   Concubine Meng sneered and interrupted Princess Jing'an: "Why are you lowering your head? People can breathe a sigh of relief and keep their head down and their tails tucked in. That's a turtle."

   "Don't tell me I can be a shrunken turtle! It's impossible!"

  Princess Jing An was so anxious that the tip of her nose sweated.

Concubine Meng felt distressed for her daughter, and quickly slowed down her voice: "Concubine Su was sent to Huangquan by Lu Mingyu personally. Li Hao and Li Chang are two brothers, if there is a trace of blood, they must avenge this. I will not take action, I will wait and see. The fun is enough."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I begged your father last night to take care of your marriage in person. Your father has already approved. There are more than four months to be your auspicious day, you can wait for the big wedding with peace of mind. Wait. After getting married, live with your concubine in the princess' mansion and live a comfortable life as you like."

   Princess Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief, and a blush flashed across Bai Nen's face: "Is Royal Father really agreeing?"

Concubine Meng smiled and stretched out her hand, and lovingly touched Princess Jing'an's long hair: "Yes. Now the most important thing in my heart is this one. Don't worry, I have prepared a generous dowry for you. Let you marry beautifully."

   Princess Jing'an lowered her head shyly, and after a while, she whispered again: "There is a shortage of money in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I don't want so much dowry, concubine mother send some money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

Concubine Meng stared: "Are you stupid! Whether the Household Affairs Office has any money has nothing to do with our mother and daughter. The queen wants a virtuous name, and the crown prince wants to restore the reputation of the East Palace, so she acted arrogantly and took out all the private houses. I don't do stupid things like that."

   "Don't even think about such thoughts. I have worked hard to save a dowry for you for more than ten years, enough for you to spend in a few lifetimes. Why do you want to fill the gap in the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

   Princess Jing'an looked at Concubine Meng who was plausible, and was speechless.

   The mother-in-law despised Queen Qiao and kept devaluing Queen Qiao to nothing. But in fact, Queen Qiao has a broad mind and acts with a middle-class bearing. In contrast, the mother-in-law is too narrow and selfish.

   To say something heart-piercing, a concubine with such a big heart can only be a favorite concubine. Where did you make the Queen of the Palace?

   Of course, such heart-wrenching words cannot be spoken bluntly.

   Princess Jing'an said softly: "I said casually, if the concubine doesn't want to, forget it."

   Concubine Meng then smiled and said, "This is my good daughter." Then she began to think about the trivial matters of getting married. Princess Jing'an listened silently and sighed inwardly.
