"After all, she is the Dowager Consort, the biological mother of His Majesty. Why are you only interested in your daughter-in-law's dowry?"
Baizhi was very ashamed.
If you have chest tightness, you need the best rhinoceros horn as medicine.
Tsk, you put it so bluntly, I'm afraid it will be robbed openly.
"Mother, does your heart ache?"
As the queen, Gu Qingcheng's focus is naturally different from Bai Zhi's.
Bai Zhi only cares about her master's dowry, while Gu Qingcheng cares about many more obscure things.
"Is the Concubine Dowager angry with His Majesty again?"
After a brief thought, Gu Qingcheng understood what Concubine Xie had done.
She sent someone to ask for the rhino horn, of course, with the intention of taking advantage of her daughter-in-law, but more importantly, she wanted to tell the harem - this concubine is sick!
Chest pain!
There is also wind-heat and internal poisoning, and rhinoceros horn is needed to calm the mind and detoxify.
As the queen, Gu Qingcheng was also the daughter-in-law of the concubine dowager. Since her mother-in-law was ill, she had to visit her in person.
Even the confused Concubine Xie had some feelings about the performance of the original owner, Empress Gu, over the past three years - Empress Gu was not an ordinary daughter-in-law, and she did not follow the principle of men being the breadwinners and women the homemakers.
If Concubine Xie, her mother-in-law, dares to make trouble for her, she can call her husband Min Huang over as "reinforcements"!
...After all the trouble, Concubine Xie was finally able to achieve her goal of seeing her son.
The key point is that with Queen Gu in the middle, it is not easy for Min Huang to directly reject Concubine Xie's nonsense.
What a joke! Queen Gu is implicated this time. If Min Huang cannot appease Concubine Xie, this foolish mother will continue to make trouble.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Using a daughter-in-law who doesn't take her son seriously to "threaten" her son?
As expected, it was an extremely clever thought process that even someone as smart as Gu Qingcheng couldn't understand.
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, then said, "There's news from Ganlu Palace that Aunt Yuping did go there in the evening."
Bai Zhi did not say whether Concubine Xie was angry with the emperor, but only stated the news sent back by the palace spies.
After hearing Gu Qingcheng's firm guess, combined with the fact that the head maid of Yongshou Palace had indeed been to Ganlu Palace, the "truth" was probably just as Gu Qingcheng guessed.
For some unknown reason, Concubine Xie sent someone to find the emperor again.
When the emperor did not agree, Concubine Xie became "ill" and sent people to ask for her daughter-in-law's dowry.
Bai Zhi: ...I'm speechless!
She is a hereditary servant of the Gu family. I am not afraid to offend anyone by saying that her knowledge and vision are higher than those of an average official's daughter.
She was also the personal maid of the eldest daughter of the Gu family. She studied with Queen Gu since she was a child and was influenced by her.
Her knowledge and abilities are not bad.
Even though she was knowledgeable and experienced, it was the first time she met someone like Concubine Xie.
Bai Zhi didn't know how to comment on it.
Call her stupid, she was born in a humble family yet she was able to raise her son in the turbulent harem;
She is smart, but she always does some stupid things that make people dumbfounded and laughable.
The key point is that Concubine Xie is the mother-in-law of her master.
Although she is not a real mother-in-law (the Queen Mother is), she is the emperor's biological mother after all.
Just this blood relationship forced Queen Gu to respect, give in to and endure.
More importantly, the Min family is a royal family. If she were an ordinary family, the Gu family would teach her how to behave in minutes, just like a young mother-in-law like Concubine Xie.
"Alas, what a pity for my girl!"
Bai Zhi sighed silently in her heart.
"I remember I still have a white rhinoceros horn in my warehouse. It was a tribute from the Western Regions. It's perfect for medicinal use! Bai Zhi, have someone get it!"
Gu Qingcheng didn't care about Bai Zhi's silence and sighs. She issued the order without hesitation.
"Let me change my clothes, I'm going to Yongshou Palace!"
Her stepmother-in-law had come in with such fanfare to ask for the herbs, it would have been inappropriate for her to still play dumb.
Given Queen Gu's background and capital, she really didn't have to humble herself and become a "submissive" wife, but she still had to at least consider her face.
After all, no matter how noble Queen Gu is, she is only a queen, not an empress!
Even the queen cannot really do whatever she wants and act recklessly.
"Your Majesty—"
Baizhi felt somewhat unwilling.
Concubine Xie is just pretending to be sick, even a fool can tell that.
Also, the things in the queen's private treasury are her dowry and personal property.
In this world, anyone who knows a little bit of etiquette will not covet his daughter-in-law’s private property!
Gu Qingcheng didn't say anything, but just glanced at Bai Zhi lightly——
She does need a loyal servant, but the most important thing about a loyal servant is not only loyalty, but also obedience!
As a master, Gu Qingcheng has no obligation and is too lazy to explain anything to the servants.
Bai Zhi's heart trembled: What's wrong with me? I actually forgot my wife's rules?!
Bai Zhi didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly responded, "Yes! I will obey your command!"
After saying that, Bai Zhi gave instructions and asked the little palace maid to go to the storeroom to get something. She herself went to the clothes rack and took out the ironed and fumigated bright red wide-sleeved skirt embroidered with gold thread.
Gu Qingcheng got off the bed, spread her arms, and let Bai Zhi and the other two palace maids change her clothes.
After tidying herself up and combing her hair into a bun, Gu Qingcheng walked out of the palace.
Outside the palace, it was late at night and the sky was filled with stars.
A crescent moon emits a faint white light.
Such moonlight could not illuminate the courtyard, so the palace maids had to hold lanterns to clear the way for Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng sat in a sedan chair and headed straight for Yongshou Palace surrounded by people.
Half an hour later, the entire harem knew about it—
