In the palace, the third princess was very close to the queen, but she was incompatible with her biological mother, Concubine De.
Queen Gu sighed and said, "The Third Princess is indeed a good person, but she is also Concubine De's child. Concubine De has other plans for the Third Princess's marriage, and I don't want to get involved and cause trouble."
Concubine De usually seems to be obedient and quieter than His Majesty's other concubines, but she also has her own plans.
Compared with the Fu family, her Gu family is equally important. She doesn't want to help the eldest prince and get the support of the Wu family for nothing. In the future, only her son Xiaojiu will be qualified to get that position.
The personal maid understood the queen's concerns and said nothing more. She walked out of Feng'an Palace and went to the imperial kitchen to ask the chef to make some iced sour plum soup, which she served to Queen Gu to cool off in the hot weather.
Inside the carriage of the Zuo Xiang family.
Nanny Lin carefully poured a cup of tea for Mou Qingyue. "Madam, that Princess Anle has gone too far. She actually dared to rely on Your Majesty's favor and produced some jade pendant to make you kneel. She is humiliating you!"
Mou Qingyue felt very uncomfortable when she heard Nanny Lin's words.
With a slap, Mou Qingyue slapped Nanny Lin in the face.
"She's not trying to humiliate me. Considering her usual arrogant personality, her treatment towards me today is pretty good. Humph, those princes and princesses who offended her will all have a bad ending. Stay away from her from now on."
As the wife of the Left Prime Minister, Mou Qingyue was relatively clear-headed and knew Tao Yuwei's ability to cause trouble.
Nanny Lin originally thought that her words would be recognized by her master, and that she would find an opportunity to teach Princess Anle a lesson. However, she was slapped in the face instead. She lowered her head to hide the resentment in her eyes.
Soon, the carriage arrived outside the palace gate.
With the help of Nanny Lin, Mou Qingyue got off the carriage.
"Today, since you have a wound on your face, don't follow us in and bother us."
Mou Qingyue walked into the palace alone. Nanny Lin looked flustered. She had finally gotten the chance, so how could she miss it?
She quickly chased after him and said earnestly, "Madam, since you are out this time without your personal maid, please let me go in with you. Don't worry, I will wait outside when we get to the noble lady's place so as not to embarrass you."
Mou Qingyue stopped and thought. She did not bring her personal maid with her when she entered the palace this time because she was afraid of any accidents. To be on the safe side, she chose to bring Nanny Lin with her.
If she entered the palace alone without even a servant by her side, it would indeed look a bit awkward.
"Then let's go! Remember, once you enter the harem, be careful with your words and actions and just pretend to be dumb."
Nanny Lin nodded repeatedly.
Mou Qingyue and her servant, led by palace maids, passed through one archway after another. But when they were about to pass through the last door to enter the harem, they saw a familiar figure. Led by a palace maid, they passed through the bamboo forest on the other side and left the palace from another archway.
Mou Qingyue recognized Wu's back.
She felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Looking at the appearance of the palace maid, I recognized her as the palace maid who was responsible for running errands in Queen Gu's palace.
Today, she seemed to have a conflict with the people from Weiyuan General's Mansion.
As the wife of the Left Prime Minister, she had to go to the palace first to pay a visit to the Empress, but her ultimate goal was not to go to Feng'an Palace.
Mou Qingyue first went to Feng'an Palace to pay a visit to Queen Gu, but was politely told by the senior palace maid serving the Queen that the Queen was not feeling well and had just called the imperial physician.
Not having seen Queen Gu, she felt extremely resentful when she thought about how she had witnessed Wu leaving the Queen's place with her own eyes.
Queen Gu was not sick at all. In her opinion, she just didn't want to see her, so she made up an excuse of being unwell.
The maids in the Queen's Palace escorted Mou Qingyue out of Feng'an Palace and wanted to take her and her servant out of the palace, but she refused. "Thank you for your kindness, but I still need to go and pay my respects to the Empress Defei."
And asked the palace maid about Wu's purpose of entering the palace.
Afraid that the palace maid would keep her mouth shut and not want to say anything, she took out a stack of banknotes and stuffed them into the palace maid's hand.
Seeing so many banknotes, the palace maid remembered the news she heard while waiting outside Feng'an Palace half an hour ago, and mentioned it to Mou Qingyue.
"Today, the wife of the great general came to the palace to visit the Empress, apparently hoping that the Empress would act as a matchmaker for her nephew."
Mou Qingyue asked Wu which girl she had taken a fancy to, and the palace maid shook her head, indicating that she had not found one yet.
After separating from the palace maid, the master and servant went to Jinxiu Palace where Concubine De lived.
Halfway through the walk, Nanny Lin quietly glanced around and saw that she didn't meet anyone else, so she became bolder.
"Madam, the eldest son's marriage must be settled as soon as possible. If it's too late, I'm afraid his good marriage will be snatched away."
Nanny Lin's words hinted at something, and when Mou Qingyue heard it, she couldn't help but get angry.
Thinking about the purpose of her entering the palace this time, Mou Qingyue had never felt so anxious.
She glared at Nanny Lin fiercely and warned her in a low voice, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll cut off your tongue when I get home."
Nanny Lin was so frightened that she quickly said, "I will never dare to do that again."
Mou Qingyue quickened her pace and went to pay her respects to Concubine De.
Inside Feng'an Palace at this moment.
Queen Gu was drinking cold sour plum soup served by her personal maid.
"Empress, the Left Prime Minister's wife went to the Splendid Palace of Concubine De!"
The palace maid who had just accepted Mou Qingyue's banknote came back to report.
The senior palace maid waved her hand and let her go.
After the palace gate was closed, Queen Gu put down the bowl of ice in her hand and her mood became bad.
Although the Left Prime Minister Wang Lingchang was the head of all officials, in the eyes of Queen Gu, he was a despicable person.
At first.
