Chapter 179: Roundabout

When the queen mother heard it, she felt very comfortable that she was grateful for giving something to her. Wu Guibi hadn't come here yet, and Defei came first.
So she said, "Come here and sit down. People with a body are more expensive. Old women like Aijia don't need good white fox fur."
"Where is the queen mother?" Huachun smiled: "You are young, with a ruddy complexion, and the color of a white fox will definitely make your face more radiant. The weather is cold, and you don't make some clothes first, how can your concubine feel at ease?"
"Oh." Her eyes softened, and the queen mother patted her hand: "You have a heart. When you see that month, you will go to the Sifu Palace to ask. See if there are a few white fox furs. Be one."
"Yes." Yue Jian went away, Hua Chun lightly breathed a sigh of relief, and then accompanied the Queen Mother to chat about the daily routine.
It’s boring when you’re in peace, you can only talk about scenes. It’s good at this time. Huachun told the Queen Mother a lot of jokes about ancient times, making her amused.
"You child is caring." She said, "I still have the heart to make fun of Ai's family."
"Anyway, the emperor is not there, and there is nothing else to do in the palace." Huachun said: "If you can make the queen mother happy, you can be regarded as a concubine to do some filial piety for the emperor."
The queen mother nodded, and her expression became more kind.
"Empress Mother." Yuejian came back, but she was holding a piece of yellow fox fur: "Do you think this is fine?"
For a moment, the queen mother frowned: "The yellow fox fur is a lot worse than the white fox fur. Why did you get this back? It is impossible for Sifugong to have no white fox fur this year?"
"The white fox is hard to find, and there was a piece of fur left last year. The servant girl asked just now, saying that it had been taken away by Wu Gui's concubine." Yue Jian said in a low voice: "The queen mother and the concubine De concubine can only watch Is this okay?"
Her face changed slightly, and the Queen Mother glanced at Huachun.
Hua Chun bowed his head and said: "The concubine is not picky, and the yellow fox fur is also good. As long as it is fox fur, it will be warm."
There is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Concubine De is the first concubine of the harem, using yellow fox fur, and letting a noble concubine use white fox fur, is that fair? After thinking for a while, the queen mother smiled and said, "Maybe Wu Guiyi took the wrong one. She is considered sensible, and it is impossible to do such an obscure thing. Yue Jian, please remind you and ask her to give the white fox fur to Concubine De."
"Yes." Yuejian answered, and Ruier next to her whispered: "Yue sees aunt, the slave and maid will go with you."
"Good." With a gentle smile, Yue Jian took her out.
The queen mother looked at their backs for a while before saying: "You are smart."
This meant something. Huachun didn't panic. After all, the queen mother is an old fried dough stick. It is normal for some things to be transparent.
"The concubines are not malicious, nor do they have the intention to compete with others." She said: "Position is sometimes covered by the aura of grace, but the inferiority cannot be overridden. If Wu Gui concubine takes a back seat in the future, she wants The concubines would not have any opinion on anything. However, when she was still an expensive concubine, the concubines had to feel aggrieved, so they would say something more."
"The Ai family understands." The queen mother nodded: "You are also a sensible, more knowledgeable than the Ai family imagined. No wonder the emperor protects you to this point."
He speaks decently, not sharply, and his eyes are full of candid gazes. It is very pleasant to communicate with such a person, and there is no resistance. Rao discovered that Concubine De was here for the white fox fur, and the Queen Mother didn't take it too seriously.
Rui'er felt exasperated, and followed Yuejian to the side hall and asked Wu Guiren to hand over the "wrong" white fox fur. When she was overjoyed, she couldn't help but wish that the palace maid robbed her today. Rolled his eyes.
"Aunt Yuejian makes sense. It is true that my palace got it wrong." Wu Guibi gritted his teeth: "I will return it to Concubine De, and apologize for my palace."
"Your wife is serious." Yue Jian nodded: "It's just a wrong hand for a while. The Queen Mother often said that if you know your mistakes can be corrected, it is good to not make any more."
"...I understand."
Rui'er smirked and followed Yuejian to leave the side hall. As soon as she went out, she couldn't help saying: "Yuejian Auntie is too powerful. Today, the court lady was very arrogant when she snatched fox fur from me, but in front of you, she said I dare not say anything."
Yue Jian smiled, and whispered: "The confidence of the slave and maidservant is given by the master, not me, but the queen mother."
"That's right." Rui Er nodded: "It's a pity that my master is not tough enough and is always bullied."
"How come." Yuejian shook his head: "Your master, in the future will definitely be the hardest one in this harem."
what? Rui Er was stunned, looking at the back of the aunt before Yue Jian: "Why?"
"Not why, I think Empress De Fei is a good person who behaves decently and knows how to hide her powers and bide her time." Yuejian hooked her lips: "I see people, she is always accurate."
This is true. Ruier heard about it when she was a little palace lady. At the beginning, the queen mother was just a talented person who was not favored. As a first-grade lady of the court, Yue Jian aunt swore allegiance to death and helped the queen mother all the way to her post. Today is such an unshakable status by others.
It's surprising that her master can get her praise, after all, Rui Er always feels that her master is not favored, and he has no influence in the harem.
Back to the main hall, the queen mother had a good chat with Concubine De, and seeing that the white fox fur was back, Concubine De respectfully took it with both hands and held it in front of the queen mother: "There is only one fox fur, so let's make a cloak for the queen mother." The concubine thought that yellow fox fur was also good."
The queen mother raised her eyebrows: "This is the prestige given to you by the Aijia, don't you put it on for someone to see?"
"No need." Huachun shrugged: "The rules that should be understood. Aunt Yuejian must have taught her. If the concubine wears it again, it would be a blessing to live in stability in this palace, so it is a blessing. For the sake of the concubine and the imperial heir in the belly of Wu Gui's concubine, please accept the fox fur from the queen mother."
Appreciation of her increased by two points. The queen mother suddenly discovered that Huachun seemed to be the kind of woman she had been looking for. She was generous and decent, kind-hearted, and able to help the emperor without greed for fame and wealth.
Why did you discover it today? Isn't such a person similar to Hua Jinghua? And still a woman.
The kindly gleam in her eyes was a little bit more, the queen mother reached out her hand to take the white fox fur, and said to Yue: "Reward the tourmaline hairpin on the Ai's dressing table to Concubine De."
"Yes." At the end of the month, I went to get the hairpin. Huachun took it with both hands and saluted.
This trip didn't come in vain, and the Queen Mother was obviously more lenient to her. Although there must be grievances in her heart, she should try her best to protect her before the emperor returns.
With a sigh of relief, Huachun happily went back to rest, but as soon as he arrived at the door of the side hall, he turned around and saw Wu Guibing who was holding his stomach on the opposite side.
