Chapter 195 Who does Princess Jinan look like?
Concubine Rou was a little at a loss and looked at Gu Qingning pleadingly.
"Qing Ning, Qiong Zhi is a little ignorant of etiquette, but she is also worried about me, so don't be angry."
Gu Qingning frowned.
This character is too soft.
No wonder he was deceived by Concubine Su for so many years and didn’t even know his son was replaced.
Gu Qingning sighed, "My queen, Qiongzhi keeps contradicting me. I feel very upset, and my stomach is upset too. I am annoyed by her. Can you ask her to get out?"
When Concubine Rou heard that Gu Qingning had stomach discomfort, she became very nervous.
She raised her head and said to Qiongzhi, "Qiongzhi, go to the clothing bureau and see if all my clothes have been washed."
Qiongzhi frowned, "But Madam..."
Gu Qingning: "My stomach hurts."
Without even thinking, Concubine Rou lowered her voice and said, "Why, you don't want to listen to me?"
Qiongzhi was indignant, but still bowed, "Yes, I will go to the clothing department to check it out."
After Qiongzhi left, Concubine Rou still showed concern and asked about Gu Qingning's well-being.
"If your stomach is really uncomfortable, can you call the imperial physician to take a look at you?"
Gu Qingning: "My queen, don't worry, isn't Shu He still here? My stomach is fine, I just want to get Qiongzhi out of the way."
Concubine Rou: "Why?"
Gu Qingning: "Qiongzhi must be someone's spy deliberately sent to your side. When you see who is coming later, you will know who she belongs to."
Concubine Rou was a little stunned, and her first reaction was that it was impossible.
"Qiongzhi followed me when I entered the palace. How could she betray me?"
"Qing Ning, you don't know, she is my wet nurse's daughter and is extremely loyal to me."
One could even say that they are as close as sisters.
In the end, it would be more accurate to say that it was Concubine Rou who was explaining to Gu Qingning.
It's better to convince herself.
Gu Qingning: "My Lady, please don't be anxious. Just wait and see who will embarrass you or me, and then you will understand."
Her voice was gentle and her eyes were very kind, and Concubine Rou calmed down miraculously.
Concubine Rou nodded with mixed feelings.
Afterwards, under Gu Qingning's guidance, she slowly told the story of how she was contradicted by her daughter, Princess Jin'an.
"That girl is also unlucky. She finally found a prince consort she liked, but the prince consort was seduced by a woman with ulterior motives."
"Jin An was in a bad mood because of them, and she listened to the instigation of others. When she was chatting with me, she suddenly became excited and said that I..."
Concubine Rou paused, her eyes began to turn red again, and she couldn't continue speaking.
Gu Qingning guessed that it was not something good, so she did not make things difficult for Concubine Rou to continue.
Even at this time, Concubine Rou was still trying her best to speak well of Princess Jin'an, which was frustrating.
Although Concubine Rou was gentle in nature, she thought Princess Jin'an was her biological daughter.
The hurt caused by someone you care about is often more painful.
We cannot tell Concubine Rou the truth right now, as her personality cannot handle it.
However, we can find a way to arrange reliable people around her.
As the two were talking, they heard an eunuch outside singing loudly: "The Imperial Concubine has arrived."
Several people stood up and went out to greet them. Gu Qingning noticed that Concubine Rou's expression had changed, so she reached out and held her arm.
He whispered, "My Lady, please calm down and pretend to be weak and sick. Leave everything to me."
It was difficult for Concubine Rou to remain calm.
Because she still couldn't accept that Qiongzhi was actually sent to her by Sister Su.
There was still a glimmer of hope in my heart, thinking that everything was just a coincidence and Qingning must have guessed wrong.
But even so, she subconsciously listened to Gu Qingning's words and nodded.
There is no need to pretend to be weak.
She now has a headache and heartache, and feels dizzy all over.
So as soon as Imperial Concubine Su showed up, Concubine Rou had the chance to bow slightly before she fell headfirst to the ground.
Fortunately, Banxia, who was standing next to him, reacted quickly and was very strong, so she quickly supported him.
Gu Qingning breathed a sigh of relief, quickly called Wei Shuhe, and helped Concubine Rou in.
Wei Shuhe immediately took out a silver needle and said, "Madam Roufei, I'm afraid I'll have to use the needle to dredge your meridians."
Concubine Rou suddenly understood: "Go ahead."
She closed her eyes and her face was pale. She was already delicate and pretty, and now she had a fragile beauty.
Concubine Su was startled, and when she saw Concubine Rou's frail and very seductive appearance, she felt very unhappy.
You are so old, but you are still thinking about hooking up with His Majesty!
Concubine Su didn't show it on her face, but just frowned slightly, "I heard that you were sick, so I rushed here immediately. Sister Roufei, why don't you take care of yourself?"
After hearing this, Concubine Rou began to cry.
Concubine Su: “…”
Gu Qingning: "My Lady Concubine, don't you know? My stepmother got sick because she was mad at Princess Jin'an. I heard that Princess Jin'an listens to you the most. You must go back and persuade her. How can you make my stepmother angry like this?"
Concubine Su turned her gaze over.
Because Gu Qingning came to the palace today, she wore a dress custom-made for princesses, but it was a low-key lotus root color.
Her belly was slightly bulging, and her whole body exuded a gentle glow.
Her face is like the bright moon, and her white wrists are covered with frost.
She was also calm and composed, neither humble nor arrogant.
No one could tell that this girl was just an orphan living in the declining Guangping Marquis Mansion a few years ago!
Concubine Su asked back, "Qing Ning, why do you sound so critical of Ming Yue? No matter what, she and Concubine Rou are biological mother and daughter, and their relationship will eventually surpass that between you and Concubine Rou."
Gu Qingning: "Really? But Your Highness Princess has repeatedly made her stepmother angry. There is no such thing as a biological mother and daughter getting along like this in the world."
After hearing this, Concubine Su's expression didn't even change, she even shook her head helplessly.
"Qing Ning, you can't say that. You lost your mother early, so how can you not stand seeing other people's mothers and daughters?"
This is such a vicious thing to say.
Even Concubine Rou, who was lying on the couch, began to feel sorry for Gu Qingning after hearing this.
Gu Qingning also remained calm, instead she nodded in agreement.
"Your Highness is right. I also envy others for having good mothers. My stepmother is so good, so I don't understand Princess Jin'an's behavior. Also, why does she care about you so much more than she treats my stepmother?"
"If I didn't know, I would have thought she was your daughter."
Concubine Su's eyes darkened, "Gu Qingning, you are so outrageous!"
Gu Qingning: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I am just too worried about my stepmother. She has such a good temper. How come Your Highness is not like her at all? Oh, Your Majesty has a better temper."
She nodded humbly the moment before, then slowly raised her head, her eyes bright as she asked Concubine Su word by word.
"My Lady, who do you think Princess Jin'an looks like?"
Concubine Su subconsciously took a half step back.
She blinked quickly when she realized what she had done.
Looking over again, Gu Qingning had that humble and pleasing look again.
Could it be that she had seen it wrong just now?
Gu Qingning half-lowered her eyes, with a cold light in her eyes.
She had waited too long.
If Concubine Su had been planning to keep a low profile and not reveal any clues, how could he avenge his family?
This guilty person needs some provocation to reveal her true colors.
Concubine Su was a shrewd woman and had come to her senses.
"Qing Ning, what's wrong with you? It's not like all children in the world look like their mothers."
Gu Qingning: "Your Majesty is right. I just care too much about my stepmother, and my care has made me confused."
After hearing this, Concubine Rou was so moved that she said softly:
"Qing Ning is a filial son. He came to see me even though he was in poor health. I will remember this kindness."
Gu Qingning smiled gently, "My queen, you must get better soon. When my child is born, I want her to call you grandma."
After hearing this, Concubine Su's mouth twitched.
I can’t listen to it anymore!
Her eyes fell on Wei Shuhe who was packing the medicine box beside her.
"You are Wei Shuhe, right? What kind of drug did you give Ah Yue that made him not even want to go to the academy?"
Wei Shuhe: "I have never given Su Yue drugs. If your majesty doesn't believe me, you can ask the imperial physician to check him out."
Imperial Concubine Su was so angry that she laughed, "You are so sharp-tongued. You know clearly that this is not what I am talking about. Now Ah Yue is obsessed with his mind and has even ignored the academy left by the Su family. What do you think is the reason for this?"
Wei Shuhe remained neither humble nor arrogant, "I don't know either, why don't you ask Su Yue, Your Majesty."
Although Beimo Academy recruits many children from poor families, Concubine Su and the Ninth Prince have recruited many of them to train over the years.
This is a long-term thing, and it will be fine as long as Beimo Academy is in the hands of the Su family.
As a result, Su Yue actually gave up everything for such a female doctor?
Concubine Su's eyes were filled with coldness after being contradicted, as if she was going to order someone to kill Wei Shuhe the next moment.
At this moment, the voice of Eunuch Shun was heard outside.
"Your Majesty has arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Minghe, wearing a bright yellow brocade robe with a dragon pattern, walked in.
Everyone saluted quickly.
Concubine Rou, who was still lying on the couch, was struggling to get up.
Emperor Minghe waved his hand to Gu Qingning first, "Qingning, you are still pregnant, there is no need to perform formalities."
The man walked to the bedside and looked at the struggling Concubine Rou. "Concubine Rou is not feeling well. Please don't be polite."
Only Concubine Su was left, and she gave a full blessing.
Of course this is a small matter.
Concubine Su showed a considerate expression on her face, "Your Majesty is so busy, yet you still thought of coming to visit Sister Roufei. This is the same idea as mine."
Emperor Minghe: "Are you here to visit Concubine Rou as well?"
Concubine Su: "Of course, we have always had a deep sisterly bond."
Emperor Ming He did not respond to her words, but looked at Gu Qingning and Wei Shuhe who were standing next to him.
"How is Concubine Rou's health?"
Gu Qingning: "I have shown it to Her Majesty. She is just angry and depressed. Your Majesty, can you please talk to Princess Jin'an and ask her to stop making Her Majesty angry?"
As she spoke, her eyes turned red and she was about to kneel down again.
When Emperor Minghe saw her about to kneel with her big belly, his scalp suddenly went numb.
If he makes Gu Qingning kneel down today, Jing Yu will strike with him tomorrow!
Emperor Minghe: "Qing Ning, I allow you not to kneel. As for Mingyue making Concubine Rou sick... Xiao Shunzi, go and summon Mingyue to the palace!"
"yes."
Seeing that Emperor Minghe was indeed angry, Concubine Su wanted to say a few words for Mingyue.
But looking at Gu Qingning standing next to her, she was worried that this person would say something about Mingyue not being like Concubine Rou.
Then he pursed his lips and changed the subject.
"Since Your Majesty is accompanying Sister Roufei, I will take my leave first."
Emperor Minghe nodded, and then he said to Gu Qingning:
"You should go back early too. Jing Yu is waiting for you at the palace gate."
"yes."
Gu Qingning and Wei Shuhe bowed and took their leave. After they went out, they didn't walk far before they found that Concubine Su's sedan chair was still there.
Is this waiting for her?
