Chapter 11
Her face looked flustered, and the lady was stunned. Then her face changed. She hurriedly leaned over and asked, "What did you say the Queen Mother summoned the second girl? Why?"
"I can't tell the meaning of the person coming from the palace. The old lady, wife, can it be for the marriage of Prince Qingping?"
There is nothing that the entire Marquis’ Mansion doesn’t know about Tang Wan’s intention to enter the palace to choose a concubine.
"Impossible!" Mrs. Changping Hou suddenly said with an ugly expression on the side.
It’s not time to select the Princess of Qingping County.
Although he always said that Tang Wan was going to be a widow, the wife of Changping Marquis knew that Tang Wan might not be able to be elected as the Princess of Qingping County.
Because when the Empress Dowager chose a concubine for the Prince of Qingping that day, there were more than one noble girl on the list.
If Tang Wan enters the palace and wants to run for the election, whether she can be elected depends on her luck.
So many noble girls from families will run together at that time, this is the so-called selection of concubines.
But why did the Empress Dowager suddenly become only interested in Tang Wan? She had to summon Tang Wan before she could choose a concubine.
Although Mrs. Changping always looked like a wise bead was holding it, the empress dowager suddenly paid special attention to Tang Wan and summoned her to the palace, but she still felt something was wrong.
Her face looked ugly, and she subconsciously glanced at Tang Xuan, who was sitting next to the lady, and whispered, "Why is the Queen Mother trying to see the second girl?"
Tang Xuan was obviously the fiancée of the second prince Feng Zhang who had already been engaged. On that day, Concubine Luo personally handled it in the palace. When Feng Zhang was hired, it was lively and half of the Kyoto was sensation. She was still proud of the hiring of the second prince, but the Queen Mother Xuan summoned Tang Wan and suddenly knocked on the head of Mrs. Changping, the head of the Marquis of Changping, making her eyes turn black.
Several days have passed since the second prince was hired, and Tang Xuan is now the wife of the second prince who is about to pass by.
But even so, there was no movement in the palace saying that he would summon Tang Xuan.
Tang Xuan was not summoned by the Empress Dowager and did not receive attention from the palace, but why was Tang Wan the first to be summoned?
No matter what it is, the empress dowager is so generous to one person and the daughter-in-law is cold and summoned another girl who is useless, which is a slap in the face.
Tang Wan was inferior to Tang Xuan everywhere, but she was summoned by the Empress Dowager.
Where can I put my daughter Tang Xuan’s face? Do you still want to make Tang Xuan a laughing stock in Kyoto?
"Is it really Erya? Is Erya something wrong? So the empress dowager wants to denounce her?!" Mrs. Changping was so jealous that she was bleeding, so she spoke without saying anything.
However, she also knew that this was impossible. If the queen mother didn't like any girl from any family, she would have to call her to the palace to scold her? Just call the palace servants to come to the mansion to scold her. This is the punishment for the girl the queen mother doesn't like.
In any case, Mrs. Changping had to admit that the Empress Dowager suddenly looked at Tang Wan with green eyes, causing her to be confused.
"No. The second girl is in the yard. The palace servant knew her identity and smiled at her, very angry." The maid also knew that Tang Wan was not favored, so she said with a thorn in her mouth.
She was right.
Tang Wan was standing in the yard at this moment, greeting a palace maid who was smiling and particularly friendly.
Tang Wan, a palace maid, still had some impression that she was a palace maid who was very dependent on the Empress Dowager in her previous life. She had been with her for many years and had never left the palace in her previous life. When she got old, she tied her hair and became a nanny in the palace, and was loyal to the Empress Dowager.
Because the Empress Dowager often summoned Tang Wan in her previous life, she was also very familiar with the palace servants and received a lot of her care. When she first married into the Prince's Mansion, she didn't understand all kinds of royal rules and etiquette. The Empress Dowager also lent her to Tang Wan for a long time, and she has always taken good care of Tang Wan very gently.
Therefore, Tang Wan felt kind to her when she saw her, but she thought that she was not familiar with her in this life, so she said embarrassedly that she was concerned about her body, "I asked my aunt to bother me."
"It's nothing. Seeing the girl's face is not good, I thought of those kinds of food, which are simple and nourishing." The palace maid was in her thirties and had a little vicissitudes, but her eyes were particularly gentle. Somehow, she looked at Tang Wan with a little kindness. She reached out to hold Tang Wan's cold hand and said pity, "The girl is a filial person. She is so sick that she has to pay tribute to her elders. We, the queen mother, like such a filial girl. But no matter how filial she is, she has to take good care of her body. If you don't take it seriously, you will suffer a loss when you get older."
She was very kind, and Tang Wan felt her eyes sore as she listened to her muttering.
She wanted to cry, but tried to endure it.
What a ridiculous thing this is.
She was disliked by her elders in her family, and she always got coldness and scolded, as if she was always the one who was not doing well.
I came to pay my respects to my elders early to show off, and I came too late to be filial to my elders. Even if I came with my sisters, I said that she was not sincere.
The warmth she received was also related to the care, which only came from outside the family.
Just like the palace maid in front of you.
"I'm still a little worried about this. Aunt, why did the Empress Dowager suddenly think of summoning me?" If the empress dowager followed the trajectory of his previous life, in fact, the empress dowager didn't know Tang Wan at the moment. For the empress dowager, Tang Wan was just a dry name on the selection list. How could the empress dowager suddenly think of her and want to ask her to enter the palace?
Moreover, seeing the gentle and loveful look of the palace maid in front of her, she naturally knew that her attitude also reflected the empress dowager's attitude towards her. It must be that the empress dowager likes to value herself very much, so the palace maid is so warm to her.
Therefore, Tang Wan was even more confused.
Why did the Queen Mother suddenly like her very much and even call her to the palace?
"The Empress Dowager knows that the girl has a very good character and is a sincere person, so she really wants to meet her. Don't worry, girl, it's not a bad thing." The palace servant saw that Tang Wan was confused and confused, so he paused before rubbing Tang Wan's hand and said softly, "The Empress Dowager is a very kind person. Don't be afraid, girl, you will know when we go into the palace."
She seemed to want to say something, with a little joy and love in her eyes. Tang Wan pursed her lips and asked hesitantly, "Is it for the prince to choose a concubine?" When she saw the palace servants smiling at her, she asked in a low voice, "Are all the girls coming in to the palace, or is the empress only seeing me?"
In her previous life, she entered the palace with her noble daughters from several families nervously and frightenedly. The noble daughters from each family were afraid that she would be selected by the Queen Mother.
When the empress dowager chose Tang Wan, all the noble ladies looked relieved.
But even if you choose a concubine, it should not be at this time, but at the end.
"Of course there is only one girl. The Empress only likes you." Seeing Tang Wan stunned when she heard what she said, her little look was not panic or fear that the empress dowager liked her, she might be married to the prince and become a widow, but instead she was a very stupid, like a ignorant young beast. The palace man couldn't help but show his like.
She seemed to want to say something, but she didn't say so much to Tang Wan. She just said to Tang Wan, "Girl, pack up, change clothes, let's go into the palace." She spoke patiently to Tang Wan in the yard, but seemed to have not seen the upper room of the lady who was close to her, and did not take a lady seriously at all.
This indifference made Tang Wan even more embarrassed.
"But I am sick, will I be sick and give the Queen Mother a suffocation?"
"Miss, don't worry. The lady knows that you are sick, so she called the best imperial physician in the Imperial Hospital to wait in the palace. When the girl entered the palace, she asked the imperial physician to take a good look for you and see how to recuperate."
"How did the Empress Dowager know that I was sick?" Tang Wan asked blankly with her eyes wide open.
For her, the Empress Dowager was a noble person in her past and present lives.
Now she is just an orphan girl born in the marquis’s house. How did the Empress Dowager know about her?
The palace maid who smiled gently looked at her with a smile, and the loving and expectant gaze made Tang Wan unable to help but feel chills behind her back.
"The Empress Dowager knew that the girl was sick last night. She wanted to call the imperial physician to come to see you in the middle of the night, but..." She paused, and saw that Tang Wan became more and more at a loss. She was weak in front of her, with a bit of pitiful look, and then said softly, "It's just that the imperial physician went to the wrong place, went to the mountains and rushed to report to the empress in the early morning. Therefore, the empress asked me to come and pick you up, and to take you into the palace. One should take a good look at the girl's body, and the other should be the Empress, too, I really want to see the girl with my own eyes."
She spoke to Tang Wan in a quiet voice, as if she was worried that she would be afraid of herself, and tried hard to tell Tang Wan not to be afraid of the palace.
Tang Wan said "ah".
She felt even more panicked.
How did the Empress Dowager know that she was sick in the mountains?
But seeing that the palace servant didn't want to tell him what he looked like, Tang Wan knew that her mouth had always been tight, so she hesitated and whispered, "Then I'll go change my clothes. My aunt might as well sit in front of my grandmother and wait for me."
"No need. I'm just waiting for the girl here. I'm not a noble person, how can I bother the grandmother of your mansion?"
Tang Wan looked at her particularly cold look towards the Changping Marquis Mansion, and somehow she felt a little joy in her heart.
She didn't know how the queen mother knew she was sick, and she was very concerned, so she sent the imperial physician to the mountains to see her yesterday.
She didn't know why the Empress Dowager summoned her in advance before choosing a concubine for the Prince of Qingping in this life, and only summoned her to the palace.
But Tang Wan felt happy.
She missed the Queen Mother and Queen Mother who had always been so kind to her in her previous life. It would be great if she could see them again.
Although I don’t know who mentioned her in front of the Empress Dowager, Tang Wan is sincerely grateful to this person who is interested.
