Chapter 404： Concubine Shu

Chapter 404 Concubine Shu

Cheng Jiaojiao's face suddenly turned cold, "Auntie, the emperor is now my father. Do you want me to be a widow at a young age and waste my whole life in the palace? You just can't see me like this?"

Cui Yudie felt guilty and short of breath after being accused, she shrank her neck and muttered: "Don't I hope you live well? If you marry into a small family, you still have to serve your parents-in-law, and there are a lot of things at home and outside. Marrying high may not necessarily make life easier, just look at your aunt!"

Although she hated Cui Yuying very much, she had to admit that she was jealous when Cui Yuying got married. Later, Cui Yuying's life became difficult, and she became so angry.

"Okay! I have my own plan, don't hold me back!" Cheng Jiaojiao looked at Cui Yudie warningly.

Cui Yudie had to give in.

The mother and daughter waited until evening before they could enter the palace. Such a long wait would make even the best of tempers a bit irritating, not to mention that neither of them had a good temper and had already cursed several times in the carriage. , the two thought they were speaking quietly, but in fact all the carriages parked nearby heard them.

Mrs. Tang finally waited until they entered the palace. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw some ladies on the side pointing at them. She was very puzzled. She raised her head and looked at Mrs. Wang next to her, "What's wrong with us?"

Mrs. Wang probably guessed some reasons, but she was about to enter the palace at this time and it was hard to cause trouble, so she glanced at Cui Yudie and Cheng Jiaojiao intentionally or unintentionally, and raised her voice with a smile. Tong Cui Yudie said: "Sister-in-law, you and your niece must follow closely. Remember to talk less and look less. Don't break the rules and lose the Cheng family's face."

The ladies beside them seemed to have suddenly realized what they were doing, and they murmured to Cui Yudie and her daughter.

Tang Shi suddenly had a bad premonition and tightened Wang Shi's hand, looking very worried, "My eldest daughter-in-law, will everything be okay?"

Wang shook her head stiffly, "Mother, I've already warned them, so it shouldn't happen!"

Everyone said that she entered the palace so that Cheng Hong could show his face, gain insights, and maybe even catch the eyes of some people. As a aunt-in-law, it was hard for her to say too much, as it would easily arouse the dissatisfaction of her parents-in-law and husband. At this point, I hope they will not seek death, otherwise it will be useless even if the ancestors of the Cui family appear!

Tang comforted herself in this way, but she became more and more panicked. She was about to let Cui Yudie and Cheng Jiaojiao go back, but it turned out that it was their turn. If she spoke out now, she was afraid that her daughter and granddaughter would hate them. she.

Tang closed her eyes weakly, and the good mood she had before going out in the morning was instantly gone.

Under the guidance of the palace officials, the officials and their female relatives were separated.

This was the first time Cui Yudie entered the palace. Her appearance was similar to that of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. She was amazed at everything she saw, and her eyes were full of excitement and greed.

Attracting frequent glances from the women around.

Tang couldn't bear it anymore and scolded in a low voice: "Have you never seen the world and learned the rules? What does this look like!"

Cheng Jiaojiao also felt that her mother was very embarrassed, so she reminded her: "Mom, this is the palace, please stop making trouble."

Cui Yudie was shameless and felt very ashamed and angry. However, this was the imperial palace and she didn’t have the courage to make a fuss.

At this moment, a young **** and a young palace maid came over with a lantern and walked towards Tang and his party, "I have seen Mrs. Cui. May I ask if Mrs. Mingsan is here?"

Mrs. Mingsan took a small step forward and said, "I am."

They blessed her with blessings and said respectfully: "Third Madam, Concubine Shu has invited you."

So anxious?

Mrs. Ming San was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mrs. Tang and Mrs. Wang, "Mom, sister-in-law, I'll go first and come right away. You don't have to wait for me."

Tang hesitated to speak, and finally nodded, looking worriedly at the eldest daughter who was leaving.

Cui Yudie was so jealous that her face was distorted, and she muttered in a low voice: "What's so great, it's not just a shameful thing!" "Auntie!" Cheng Jiaojiao gave her a hard look.

Fortunately, it was dark at the moment, so no one else paid close attention.

Mrs. Ming San followed the eunuchs and maids all the way to the quiet harem. The guards stationed on both sides of the corridor gave her an inexplicable feeling of peace of mind.

Through the long corridor, around the imperial garden, and around a few more times, we finally arrived at Cui'an Palace where Concubine Shu was.

The palace maid went in first to report. After a while, a nanny came out to salute Mrs. Ming San and made a gesture of invitation, "Third Madam, Concubine Shu is ill. Please come into the bedroom to speak."

Concubine Shu is sick? Why didn't you hear the news?

Mrs. Ming San entered the room full of doubts.

The furnishings in Cui'an Palace are simple, with only some antique vases, calligraphy and paintings. The curls of sandalwood cover up the strong aroma of medicine in the room. Intermittent coughing sounds come from the bed behind the screen, as if they want to cough up their lungs. It looks like the situation Not good.

Mrs. Mingsan's face turned a little pale. She walked to the screen with her head lowered and saluted, "I pay my respects to Concubine Shu."

After a long time, a feeble voice came from behind the screen, "Come in and talk."

Mrs. Mingsan walked around the screen and finally saw the appearance of the woman on the bed. She was covered with a thick brocade quilt and a charcoal stove was lit beside her. Her face was bloodless and skinny, and her original appearance was no longer visible. .

“Shu Fei?” Mrs. Ming San was shocked.

Concubine Shu chuckled, half-closed her eyelids, and said slowly: "I have no choice but to see you. Does it scare you?"

“No, no.” Mrs. Mingsan looked uneasy.

Concubine Shu looked at the candlelight and asked quietly: "At this time, there should be singing and dancing in Chengqing Hall! It must be very lively."

With red eyes, Mammy advised with choked sobs: "My dear, please take good care of your health. Once you are well, you can go out."

Concubine Shu smiled self-deprecatingly, "I know my own body well, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the night!"

Mrs. Ming San was horrified! He raised his head suddenly and met Shu Fei's bottomless eyes.

"You must be very curious why I am looking for you now. I don't have much time to talk in circles, so I will tell you clearly." Concubine Shu coughed a few more times and said slowly: "I left Zhu Zhu when I was thirteen. The family followed the emperor, and although she was not favored in the palace, she abided by her duties and gave birth to a son for the emperor, so she was given the title Shufei.

It's a pity that the emperor's son fell ill due to bad luck, and turned out to be an idiot with a mind of seven or eight years old.

The world only knows that the eldest prince Ding is brave and good at fighting, the second prince is kind and filial, the fifth prince is knowledgeable and talented, the eighth prince is lively and cute, and the deposed sixth prince, but no one knows about my seventh prince Xiao Chongan! It would be great if I didn't have that illness."

Mrs. Ming San had heard something about it and thought that the Seventh Prince was gone long ago. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an idiot. No wonder the royal family never mentioned the Seventh Prince. It was only because of the emperor's order.

Mammy couldn't help crying anymore.
