Chapter 209 The Lady Is Too Heartless (Part [-])
Empress Dowager Wen asked Queen Zhao Yaner beside her, "Why haven't you seen that girl Qingqing in the past few days? I don't know where to go to play?"

Zhao Yan'er's face was startled, and she smiled gently: "Mother, you also know that girl's personality. This huge palace is like a prison for her, and even the concubine can't stop her."

Empress Dowager Wen suppressed her smile, and twisted the Buddhist beads in her hands, "People from outside try to find ways to get in, but she really hates it."

Zhao Yan'er saw that the Queen Mother was angry, so she shook her head helplessly and said: "Everyone in this palace is strict, not as lively as Qingqing, especially she often cheers up the Queen Mother, and the concubines are not as lively as her, so I naturally hope that she will accompany her more. Empress Mother. Empress Mother also knows that she was born in the countryside and does not conform to conventions. Even His Majesty said that she is innocent and romantic, and is different from others, otherwise Wei Xiang would not have let Wei Xiang withdraw from Imperial Doctor Xiao's relationship."

"Canceling the engagement?" Queen Mother Wen knew that Wei Chen and Lan Qingqing were very close, but she didn't expect that what happened now would happen. "The daughter of Xiao's family affairs is also in her twenties, right? After retiring, can you find a good family?"

"What the queen mother said is true, but Qing girl said that Wei Xiang already has a fiancée, so she can't get involved. Perhaps it is because of this that Wei Xiang called off this marriage to give Qing girl an explanation."

Empress Dowager Wen snorted coldly, "This young girl is really becoming more and more disobedient. The Xiao family is the daughter of an official family after all. It is normal to be a royal family. Besides, it is the order of her parents. How can she retire because of her words?" Retire? Doesn't this insult Wei Xiang's reputation?"

"Empress mother, I don't know if I should say something or not?"

"Speak!"

"This young girl is your favorite girl, and she once saved the life of the queen mother, and your majesty considers her righteous sister. Wei Xiang's doing this can be regarded as looking at the face of the royal family. If she really becomes a concubine, wouldn't she let the queen mother and your majesty Embarrassed?"

Empress Dowager Wen fell into deep thought after being told by the queen.

"Then what should we do about Miss Xiao's matter? The Ai family heard the news that the doctor Wu from Ping Anmai is about to resign. The Ai family knows that the doctor Xiao has always been diligent in his work. , wouldn't it chill the hearts of these veteran ministers who work for His Majesty?"

The queen knew what Empress Dowager Wen was worried about, so she said: "The concubine has a plan, I don't know if the queen mother will agree or not?"

"Queen, your temperament is too smooth. Sometimes you should just say it directly. Doesn't the Ai family know what kind of temperament your majesty has? He is the kind of woman who likes to be tough, a woman who follows the rules in this palace. The Ai family looks pleasing to the eye, but to His Majesty, even the colorful weeds are not as good as the weeds outside the wall. The Ai family likes to hug the emperor's grandson as soon as possible, especially the empress's son. This month, the Yue Kingdom can be regarded as having an orthodox heir. Can the empress understand the painstaking efforts of Aijia?"

The queen showed a grateful look and said: "The queen mother is such a concubine, and the concubine is very grateful. It's just that your majesty has been busy with political affairs recently, and rarely enters the harem. As his first wife, your majesty is diligent, caring about the people, and is the leader of the world." The blessings of people are also the blessings of ministers and concubines. What ministers and concubines can do is to let His Majesty handle the affairs of the court with peace of mind, without any worries. In a few days, it will be Concubine Wan Gui's birthday. Concubine Wan Gui is a loyal family. After the death, I boldly tried to use the mother's excuse to give my sister a lively birthday without making her look lonely. What do you think, mother?"

This reminded Empress Dowager Wen that in order to appease the only daughter left behind by General Wan, she let her daughter enter the palace as a noble concubine. Now that many days have passed, Emperor Yuewen seldom visits the harem, let alone his favor?On Concubine Wan Gui's birthday, she would like to take this opportunity to beat Emperor Yuewen well. This state affairs is important, but her own family affairs are equally important.After all, the harem is connected with the court, so she must understand this reason better than her?

As soon as Imperial Physician Xiao arrived home, he received an order from the Queen Mother. Because of his years of hard work, he specially rewarded him with a lot of things.

Xiao Niang saw that the room was full of boxes, big and small, and she couldn't help being surprised and said: "Father, what good deed have you done that the Empress Dowager rewarded you like this?"

Xiao Wenrong sighed, sat down with the old servant's support, and said, "A few days ago, I just casually mentioned the matter of resignation to Brother Wu, and for some reason it fell into the ears of the Queen Mother. Today, I was specially summoned, and I tried every means. Retention, as an imperial physician with a low status, how can I dare to speak about this matter again? This must be the Queen Mother's reward."

Regarding the matter of resignation, Xiao Wenrong discussed with Yao Shi, and she also felt that it was better to stay away from this place of right and wrong.I just didn't expect that this matter would be hindered.

"What does the empress dowager mean? In terms of medical skills and qualifications, your father's ability is far behind the imperial doctor's order. Why is he not the one who stayed?"

Xiao Wenrong didn't expect his wife to underestimate him so much, so he couldn't help but snort a few words.It was only then that Yao Shi realized that she had accidentally told the truth, especially in front of her daughter, and had lost her husband's face.

So he went on to say: "Ninny, what did mother say? Your father is a man of real ability, so he was naturally left behind by the nobles."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Wenrong stroked his beard in satisfaction, and raised his neck following Xiao Niang's gaze.

"Mother is right, who is my father? Naturally, Hua Tuo is alive."

Xiao Wenrong felt relieved by his daughter's words, pointed to Xiao Niang and said: "Listen, the daughter's words are only pleasing to the ear, what did you say?"

Mrs. Yao had no choice but to cater to her with a few words, and these three or two kind words were enough to make her stand out. She was already quite old and was not ashamed.

"Father, I guess it's because of Lan Qingqing and Prime Minister Wei. After all, one is an important minister of the court, and the other is the righteous sister of the current emperor. This marriage is extremely dishonorable. It must be to make up for us."

Hearing what Xiao Niang said, they thought it was really reasonable.

"Oh, by the way, I just heard from the Queen Mother that the [-]th day of this month is Concubine Wan Guifei's birthday. Thanks to the Queen Mother and Queen's grace, our daughter is specially allowed to go. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You know How many noble women in this capital want to enter the palace, but they suffer from no chance. This entrance indicates that our daughter's status is not ordinary, it is the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager who are praising our daughter."

Xiao Wenrong said happily, but Yao seemed to be preoccupied.

"Mother, why are you unhappy?" Xiao Niang came to Yao's courtyard, looked at Yao's and asked with a sigh.

"Mother is not as confused as your father. Who can enter this palace? Besides, you are a woman who retired from marriage. Although I am lenient to women who have retired from marriage, you are different. This palace is probably a joke. There are a lot of people."

"Mom, you worry too much."

Just as Xiao Niang was talking, the female tailor specially arranged by Yao Shi had already arrived under the leadership of the maid.

After the female master said hello to Mrs. Yao and Xiao Niang, she began to carefully measure Xiao Niang's body and brought her new clothing patterns for her to choose one by one.

Xiao Niang saw that the female master suddenly lost her mind while measuring the body, so she asked strangely: "Ma'am, is there anything wrong?"

Mrs. Ru was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You look stupid to me, how can there be such a beautiful person in this world? I dare to ask Miss if she has promised her?"

Then, these words touched Yao's bad luck, so after scolding, Mrs. Ru had no choice but to leave resentfully.
