The rebirth of a concubine: Gong Du will become the Queen Mother

This Ding Lingqi is the only son of General Wei and Qiu.

And the mighty general holds the military power of the western suburbs camp.

Concubine Zhen sent Qiaorong out of the palace and into General Weiwei's mansion, where she became General Weiwei's favorite concubine and a thorn in Qiu's side.

Jiang Shiying did have some plans for General Weiwei's mansion, but she had never thought of starting from her son's end.

But since Ping An is optimistic about Ding Lingqi, she might as well make a move here.

Jiang Shiying was about to speak when she heard a "squeak", the door was pushed open, and Lu Zhaolin strode in: "Oh? Ping An has selected four? Then let these four come to read with you. .”

Jiang Shiying meant that he was blessed, and after being supported by him, he said: "His brothers, each of them has two companions, and when he comes here, the number doubles instantly. People don't say that His Majesty is partial, in private It’s time to scold Ah Ying again for being so charming and charming.”

After the words fell, before Lu Zhaolin could speak, Ping An's smiling face suddenly darkened: "Who scolded the mother-in-law for being charming and charming?"

Lu Zhaolin looked funny and asked him: "What do you want to do by asking this?"

Peace is a matter of course: "If they offend their mothers and concubines, their sons will naturally punish them."

Lu Zhaolin laughed and hugged him: "Good boy, your mother and concubine did not love you in vain. Don't worry, my father will not let anyone who dares to offend your mother and concubine go."

After saying this, he looked at Jiang Shiying: "To the outside world, I just say that Ping'an is weak. I am not worried about his body and want to put two more people around him to take care of him. Furthermore, Ping'an is the son of the imperial concubine. His status is so valuable that other princes cannot compare with him."

Jiang Shiying gave him an angry look: "Then I will obey Your Majesty. However, if someone says something mean, Your Majesty must protect our mother and son."

Lu Zhaolin raised his eyebrows: "Let's see who dares."

After this matter spread, no one dared to say anything openly. Not only did they not dare to say anything, but they also said that Your Majesty is wise and that the Eighth Prince is weak and should be taken care of carefully.

But privately, Concubine Fang and Ning Xiurong didn't eat well for several days.

Four reading companions were a treatment reserved only for princes in the past.

They felt sad in their hearts, but they couldn't show it. They had to comfort themselves. Even if His Majesty intended to promote the Eighth Prince's body, it would be useless. He didn't have that blessing.

The third prince and the fourth prince were really good brothers. Lu Zhaolin asked them their opinions on this matter intentionally or unintentionally. Both of them said: "The eighth brother is weak, shouldn't he take more care of him? Isn't there a lot to say? of?"

The seventh prince was different. In front of Lu Zhaolin, he imitated the behavior of the third and fourth brothers and pretended to be a good brother.

When he returned to Concubine Zhen, he complained loudly: "They are all the sons of the emperor. Everyone else only has two companions, but the eighth brother has four. The emperor is too partial!"

He and Ping An are similar in age, so subconsciously, he will regard each other as a comparison object.

It's not that Lu Zhaolin doesn't love him, but every time he is pleased with his father's favor and looks back at Ping An, he will be greatly shocked.

Over time, I have long hated this eighth brother.

Concubine Zhen watched him quietly as he vented his emotions. After he calmed down, she asked, "Have you vented enough?"

The seventh prince nodded.

Concubine Zhen said: "Now that you have vented enough, let's think carefully about how to compare with the Eighth Prince and let your father see how good you are."

The seventh prince immediately stood up and said, "Son, I will go and read the book now."

Concubine Zhen nodded and said, "Go."

The eighth prince was more favored than her own son, so she naturally felt dazzled by it. But then I thought, it would be nice to have the Eighth Prince here, just to encourage his son to make progress.

···

A few days later, it was the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

Not long after the banquet started, there was some noise over where the ministers were seated.

Lu Zhaolin sat up high, frowned and asked displeasedly: "What's going on?"

The mighty general Ding Shengkang stood up and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. I am my wife. I did not hold the wine glass firmly and was spilled all over."

Hearing his words, Jiang Shiying, who was sitting next to Lu Zhaolin, let out a soft "ha". The sound was so soft that no one else heard it except Lu Zhaolin.

Lu Zhaolin gave him a questioning look. Jiang Shiying shook her head invisibly, and then said: "Qiu Yu, you accompany the general's wife to the back hall to change clothes."

General Mighty and his wife Qiu Shi saluted together to express their gratitude.

After this incident passed, Lu Zhaolin approached Jiang Shiying and said, "Ah, Ying just now seemed to have some disdain for the mighty general?"

Jiang Shiying said: "Your Majesty was only concentrating on drinking with the princes of the clan, so he probably didn't notice the other party, but Ah Ying saw it clearly. It was not Qiu who failed to hold the wine glass, but General Mighty and Qiu. There was a dispute, and regardless of the occasion, he picked up the wine glass and poured it all over Qiu."

After the words fell, Lu Zhaolin also felt dissatisfied.

He didn't care what happened between General Wei and Qiu, or why they were arguing.

What he cares about is that I held a banquet in the garden to entertain the courtiers and ladies. You did not care about making such a fuss at my banquet. Where are your rules and duties? Didn’t you eat it all in your stomach?

Thinking like this, his eyes looked a little darker when he glanced at the mighty general.

But talking about the apse at this time.

Qiu Yu brought two little maids with her to help Qiu change into clean clothes.

Then, she looked at Mrs. Qiu's face and said, "Madam's makeup is a bit stained. Can my servant help you put your makeup back on?"

Such a simple sentence made Qiu's nose sore again.

What kind of makeup? It was obvious that she had just shed tears, which blurred around her eyes and left clear tear marks on her cheeks.

The imperial concubine, a great maid, said this to save her face.

Mrs. Qiu was blessed and said, "Girl, I have a job."

Qiu Yu quickly avoided it: "You are not worthy of the courtesy of Madam."

After that, she first helped Qiu remove the remaining makeup on her face, then re-applied cream and powder on her face, and then carefully painted her eyebrows.

While serving her with quick hands and feet, she chatted with Mr. Qiu: "Madam's eyes are really beautiful, and her eyebrows are also delicate."

Qiu was originally a little excited and nervous, but she gradually relaxed under her gentle words.

Later, she couldn't help but think about it. The Imperial Concubine didn't seem to be as domineering as the rumors outside. Even the people around her were very gentle and kind.

Qi'er was selected as the eighth prince's companion, and she was originally proud and worried when she would follow the eighth prince in the future. Now it seems that we can let go of this worry?

With a mother-in-law like the Imperial Concubine, I don’t think it will be difficult for the Eighth Prince to get along with him, right?
