Chapter 277 The Queen Mother summoned several concubines
In Yongshou Palace, the empress dowager smiled and waved her hand to signal Zhang Shui'er and Tang Wanrou to stand up.
"Why didn't the Queen come with you?"
Ever since her trip to the border, she has become more and more confused by her daughter-in-law.
Thinking of the estrangement between the Queen and the Emperor, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Everything was fine back then, and they had a sweet time after their marriage. How come it turned out like this?
Zhang Shuier bowed slightly, "Replying to the Queen Mother, when I came here, the Lu sisters had just entered the palace to pay their respects."
"Oh, those two girls entered the palace?"
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up instantly. Those two girls have entered the palace... There should be something fun to listen to today!
When Zhang Shui'er raised her eyes, she saw the empress dowager's happy expression. Thinking of the inexplicably strange atmosphere in Changchun Palace just now, she felt that she might disappoint the empress dowager today.
Although she didn't know what had happened, she just felt that Lu Er had changed.
As the Empress Dowager waited anxiously, the Empress and the Lu sisters finally appeared.
After the three of them paid their respects, the empress dowager couldn't wait to give them seats.
"What have you youngsters been up to lately? Your wedding date is approaching, right?"
Although the Empress Dowager had heard a lot about what was happening in the various prefectures in the capital, there were very few things that she took to heart.
Only the few people in front of her could make her remember that they were all engaged and their wedding dates were approaching.
Zhang Shui'er was a little shy and turned her head away coquettishly.
After she met Lu Xinran a few days ago, she went back home and told her family about how she had married Cui Shenglin and followed him to Yucheng Pass.
Her grandfather and father both strongly agreed. Although the Earl's Mansion was a bit chaotic before, it has now been divided and those messy illegitimate children have all moved out of the Earl's Mansion, and will no longer affect the reputation of the Earl's Mansion in the future.
They already liked Cui Shenglin, and now he had other plans, so it would be best to let Zhang Shuier go with him to Yucheng Pass.
However, whether Bo's Mansion and Cui Shenglin would agree still needs to be negotiated between the two families.
Qiu's bottom line was that if they agreed that Zhang Shui'er would go to Yucheng Pass with her husband after they got married, then the marriage would proceed as normal.
If she disagrees or cannot give a clear answer, then let Cui Shenglin come back to cancel the engagement.
This matter has been raised by an intermediary at the Earl's Mansion, but there has been no clear reply from there yet. So when Zhang Shui'er heard the Queen Mother mention their marriage, she couldn't help feeling shy and at the same time a little worried.
On the contrary, Lu Xinran and her sister were more open-minded than the other. They believed that it was natural for men to get married when they were old enough and for women to get married when they were old enough. There was nothing to be shy about!
For them, getting married is like completing a task, but who really cares about the task?
If they were tempted by this kind of time and space, they would most likely be doomed, and they... couldn't and didn't dare.
The two of them were so calm and frank that the Queen Mother couldn't help but look at them a few more times: "Xinlan girl, your wedding date is the earliest, right?"
If she remembered correctly, this girl was going to marry into the Tang family.
Lu Xinlan responded calmly: "Your Highness, my youngest brother's wedding date is November 16th, which is indeed the earliest among the three of us."
While she was speaking, Tang Wanrou couldn't help but look at her. She was so calm and composed compared to her elder brother who was always grinning foolishly...her silly elder brother was going to suffer.
Lu Xinran thought about her wedding date and said uncertainly, "Your Highness, my wedding date should be on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month."
The Queen Mother burst out laughing: "The tenth day is the tenth day, there is no such thing as a should."
These two girls are really interesting. This is the first time she has met people who are so indifferent to marriage.
But these are not important. She has already asked people to find several other concubines. She must find a way to go over all the old events today.
The fighting in the harem never stopped back then, and no matter how careful she was, she would always fall into the hands of the emperor.
There is still a chance to resolve the doubts in her heart, so she must not waste this opportunity.
Several concubines entered Yongshou Palace with great trepidation. The last time those three people came to Yongshou Palace, something bad happened to them not long after.
Not only them, but also their families suffered. Isn't it their turn this time?
Several people sat on round stools, and their legs under their skirts couldn't help trembling.
The Queen Mother did not ask anyone to dig out old things this time. She just casually said, "What a coincidence today. My Yongshou Palace has not been so lively for a long time."
None of the concubines dared to look her in the eye; they all nodded timidly.
Lu Xinran had guessed the Queen Mother's purpose the moment she met the concubines, and she pretended to be dumb without changing her expression.
The Queen Mother wanted her to help look up past events, so she might as well join in the fun like she used to.
Anyway, the melons are not eaten in vain, and you can gain a lot of health points every time.
"I have been dreaming about the time when we first entered the palace. I remember that you guys were the most favored at that time."
After hearing what she said, several people knelt on the ground without thinking.
In the past, almost all of them relied on the emperor's favor to embarrass the empress dowager.
But no one would have thought that after so many years, there would be a day when people would be held accountable for what happened.
"What are you doing? Get up quickly. I'm just thinking back to the past. When I gave birth to the emperor, I almost died from dystocia."
Did the Queen Mother also have a difficult childbirth that year?
Lu Xinran originally wanted to complete the task, but when he heard her say this, he suddenly became curious and curious.
【Let me see what happened back then. 】
Even if she didn't want to watch it, the Queen Mother would find ways to make her watch it.
She excitedly opened the Queen Mother's booklet, and asked the system to load it.
[Eh, the Queen Mother didn't give birth to a full-term baby back then. ]
[She took all precautions but still failed to prevent someone from putting a labor-inducing drug in her food. Her water broke before she was even full term, and it was late at night. The imperial physician on duty in the palace was not the one who checked her pulse.]
[If Su Hongyu hadn't been there to help her summon the imperial physician and find a way to calm her mind, even if she could have given birth to the emperor, her body would have certainly been damaged.]
There is no way to live a peaceful life to this age.
The Queen Mother thought of everything that happened during the childbirth and how devotedly Su Hongyu treated her, and her heart couldn't help but tighten again.
It would be great if she were still here.
Together, they became the empress dowager and concubine dowager in glory, and no longer had to live in fear.
What a pity, she raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes while stroking her temples.
