Chapter 118 Le Guiren’s Mother

Two days later, family members outside the palace can enter the palace to visit and express gratitude.

Le Guiren’s mother was naturally among them.

The first thing to do after entering the palace is naturally to thank the Queen, but now that the position of Queen is vacant, this has become the task of Concubine Chen.

However, originally they could have just kowtowed at the palace gate and left, but Concubine Chen made an exception and sent someone to invite Lady Yuan, the mother of Lady Le, into the main hall.

Madam Yuan originally thought that her daughter had offended the Royal Concubine, so she was asked to enter Qingyun Palace to discipline her. After all, she knew her daughter's temper, so it would not be surprising if she had offended someone in the palace.

So I had no choice but to go inside.

However, he saw that Concubine Chen Guifei was already waiting at the seat of honor, and he felt even more nervous, so he greeted her politely.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Chen Guifei actually gave her a seat: "It's quite far to walk in from the palace gate, but Madam Yuan has worked hard."

"Thank you for your concern, Madam Yuan," Madam Yuan said hurriedly, "When I entered the palace, there was a sedan chair that Madam Madam had ordered, so I didn't have to walk any longer."

"I actually forgot," Concubine Chen Guifei said with a smile, "I specially called Madam Yuan to my palace today because I have something to tell you."

"Your Majesty, please speak." Madam Yuan felt that something was not right and thought that Concubine Chen was going to scold Le'er.

"Lady Le is a good girl, lively and innocent, but this liveliness and innocence is not a good thing in this palace."

Lu Xingwan on the side nodded frantically.

[Mother is right. I suddenly remembered that although Lady Le had taken refuge with Concubine De in the story, her unabashed nature also allowed Concubine De to take advantage of her many times.]

【Later, he made a serious mistake and was executed by his father.】

[You should know that the concubines in this palace were only demoted and sent to the cold palace. To be executed, I think they must have committed a serious crime.]

After hearing what Lu Xingwan said, Concubine Chen Gui became even more nervous: "Madam Yuan sent her daughter to the harem, so she must have felt uneasy at home."

"I invited Madam Yuan here today not just to see Lady Le. Lady Le is pregnant now, but I think she is too worried and I'm afraid it's not good for the child. I hope Madam Yuan can give her some advice."

"If you want to live well in this palace, you don't have to rely on the top of the mountain, nor do you have to compete with others. You just need to guard your own piece of land."

"Now, the one and a half mu of land owned by Lady Le is the fetus in her belly."

After saying this, Concubine Chen raised her head and looked solemnly at Madam Yuan who was sitting below her.

Madam Yuan was stunned for a long time. It turned out that Concubine Chen was really thinking about her daughter. She knelt down immediately and said, "Thank you for your sincere words. I will definitely tell you to be good to me."

After saying this, he kowtowed heavily.

Concubine Chen stepped forward and helped her up: "Madam Yuan, this gift is too heavy. Madam Yuan, rest assured, I will take good care of Concubine Le, but she needs to think it through first."

Madam Yuan thanked him again and again before leaving Qingyun Palace and heading for Le Guiren's Ruisi Palace.

Le Guiren packed up early in the morning and looked out at the palace gate. When she saw her mother's sedan chair approaching, she hurried over to greet her: "Mother is here."

Madam Yuan, however, performed the ritual of courtesy and etiquette before she was willing to follow Noble Lady Le into the side hall. Noble Lady Le naturally only kept the maidservant who came with her as a dowry from her parents' home.

Although Le Guiren had been pampered by her family since she was young, she had not seen her mother for so many days, so she only shared her good news and not her worries: "Look, mother, although I live in a side hall now, I am the only one living in Ruisi Palace, and it is very comfortable."

Then he whispered to Madam Yuan: "If I give birth to a prince or princess safely, I will probably be promoted to a concubine and move to the main palace. Then my father and mother will be more honored."

Madam Yuan took her hand, gently stroked her belly, and combed her hair before she spoke: "The little girl who used to make so much noise at home is going to be a mother now."

"Your father and I don't want you to suffer in the palace. As long as you live your life well, it will be better than anything else."

Hearing Madam Yuan's words, Le Guiren couldn't help but shed tears.

Madam Yuan hurriedly wiped her tears and gently held her in her arms.

After a long time, he finally spoke: "Well, this is the inner courtyard of the imperial palace after all. If you cry until your eyes are swollen, someone with ulterior motives will probably make things difficult for you if they see you."

Lady Le, however, hugged Madam Yuan's waist tightly and said in a tearful voice, "Mother, I am afraid."

Madam Yuan patted her hands gently and said, "I had already been to Qingyun Palace before I came here, and the noble concubine told me everything."

"Concubine Chen is a very good person. My daughter can see her mother this time thanks to her efforts." Concubine Le looked up at her mother.

Madam Yuan also nodded and said, "Le'er, although you live in the palace now, you don't have to deliberately please anyone. Your masters are nothing more than the emperor and the queen mother. As for the rest, since you think Concubine Chen is good to you, you should repay her well."

"There is no need to compare yourself with others. Just as Concubine Chen said, the one mu and three fen of land you have now is the baby in your belly."

"What favors, what honors, they are all empty. Having a child of your own will keep you from being lonely in the palace."

Mr. Le didn't understand and looked at Madam Yuan.

"Look at Concubine Chen. She is now the most noble person in the harem besides the Empress Dowager. She doesn't just stay in the palace every day waiting for His Majesty to favor her. She also has her own things to do. More importantly, she has a child."

Le Guiren still seemed to understand, and muttered, "The daughter of the Concubine is Princess Yong'an, the only princess in the entire harem with a title. Even the eldest princess born to the late Empress did not have a title, so how can the child compare to hers?"

Seeing that she was still like this, Madam Yuan straightened her shoulders and said seriously, "But your child is also His Majesty's child, and your one and only child. Whether he is a boy or a girl, you will protect him, right?"

"You don't have to worry about what others say about the instability in the harem. Everyone in and outside the palace knows that Concubine Chen had a difficult birth, but she's fine now, isn't she?"

"If you worry about this every day, wouldn't that just be causing yourself trouble?"

Lady Le seemed to have suddenly come to her senses. She looked up at Madam Yuan in surprise and said, "Mother is right. I shouldn't feel sorry for myself, and I shouldn't hide myself in Ruisi Palace. I haven't seen the beautiful scenery in this palace yet. I have always admired Concubine Chen, and I should spend more time with her."

Mrs. Yuan sighed when she saw that her daughter finally listened to what she said.

This trip was not in vain.
