"Mr. Wan, don't worry. I heard His Royal Highness Min said that the concubine mother is very kind to others, and she will definitely not embarrass us."
"wonderful……"
Xu Wanjun wanted to say something, but saw a beautiful woman with a smile on her face coming out of the gate of Suhua Palace, followed by a palace maid beside the beautiful woman.
"Daughter-in-law Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun have seen Concubine Zhou!"
Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun's eyes lit up, and they all bowed down to salute.
"You are Miao Jin, you are Wan Jun?"
Concubine Zhou stepped forward and looked at the two women with some uncertainty. To be honest, she was really surprised by the appearance and temperament of the two women.
"Yes!"
The two women had smiles on their faces, very bright.
"I've heard that Song'er married two beautiful and virtuous concubines a long time ago, and it's true when I saw her today!"
Concubine Zhou stepped forward and gently held the hands of the two girls, saying: "Come, come, quickly follow mother and concubine into the palace."
Concubine Zhou led Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun into the palace, and after the two had seen the ceremony with everyone in the palace, Concubine Zhou smiled and said: "Miaojin, Wanjun, why did you two come to me? gone?"
Hearing Concubine Zhou's question, Xu Miaojin replied with a smile: "Today is my concubine's 40th birthday, my husband said that His Majesty has agreed to let my concubine out of the palace, so I let my son and sister come to the palace. See mother and concubine, after noon, I will leave the palace with you to Han Wangfu."
When talking about this, Xu Wanjun added: "By the way, Concubine Mother. His Royal Highness Min Wang and Concubine Min have also arrived at the Palace of Han Palace. My husband said that he would personally celebrate your birthday at the palace!"
"Really?"
When Concubine Zhou heard what Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun said, she stood up excitedly and asked.
"I dare not lie to my concubine mother!" Xu Miaojin said: "My husband is going to come in person today, just to prepare for today's mother concubine's birthday, my husband has been busy all the time, so I can only be replaced by my son! "
When talking about this, Xu Miaojin smiled slightly and said: "Although Erchen and Junmei are married into the royal family, they have never seen their mother and concubine before, and today they just take this opportunity to meet their mother and concubine."
"Hehe, the concubine mother is already very happy that you can come to see the concubine today, so why bother to bring so many gifts?"
Concubine Zhou was very happy to hear Xu Miaojin's words. After all, Xu Miaojin was telling the truth, and she had never met her two daughters-in-law.
"Mother, these are nothing..."
Xu Miaojin hadn't finished speaking, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then Empress Xu, who still had a gentle smile on her face, walked in and said with a smile: "It's nothing, let me have a look, too?"
"Empress, sister!"
Seeing Empress Xu who came in, Concubine Zhou, Concubine Han and other Hongwu concubines, Xu Miaojin and Xu Wanjun stood up in surprise and saluted Empress Xu.
"Everyone, hurry up and give up!" Empress Xu walked over with a smile on her face, helped Concubine Zhou herself, and said: "Empress Concubine Zhou, today is your birthday, and I have nothing to give you. I heard that You worship the Buddha, there is a white jade Guanyin here in this palace, give it to your empress!"
In fact, based on seniority, Empress Xu and Concubine Zhou should be called Aunt Huang. After all, Zhu Di's mother is Empress Xiaoci Gao, Ma Shi, and Ma Shi and Concubine Zhou are both Zhu Yuanzhang's daughters. Of.
It's just that Hong Wu has been buried for many years now, and she is now an empress. Concubine Zhou is just Hong Wu's concubine. With her status and status, Empress Xu will naturally not let go of her figure.
"The empress is too polite!"
Concubine Zhou was polite, but she knew in her heart that the reason why Empress Xu came was not because of the face of King Han and Princess Han, but because of her own words, and she might not even know who Empress Xu was.
"Hehe, Your Majesty has allowed the empress to leave the palace today, I wonder when the empress wants to leave?"
Empress Xu found a seat and sat down, smiling at Concubine Zhou.
Concubine Zhou glanced at the two sisters Xu Miaojin, and said: "What a coincidence, Miaojin and Wanjun came to the palace to pick me up for Song'er."
"Oh? Aren't you preparing a small banquet in the palace?" Empress Xu said with some disappointment, "We haven't had any good things to do in the palace for a long time."
For a long time, because of Xu Huizu's matter, Empress Xu has been quite bored. A few days ago, the matter was finally resolved, and she originally hoped to do some festive things to make it lively.
Now that the wish came true, Concubine Zhou was naturally a little disappointed.
"Sister, why should you be depressed?" Xu Miaojin was smart, she saw something, rolled her eyes, and said: "My husband originally wanted to invite His Majesty to come with my sister, but my sister persuaded me to come down."
"Tell the truth to my sister, is this what you mean or Brother Song's meaning?"
Empress Xu would not believe Xu Miaojin's nonsense. Don't look at this girl's dignified and virtuous appearance on weekdays, but she is actually a little naughty in front of her relatives.
"Hee hee, sister, take it as my husband said it!" Xu Miaojin giggled, apparently acquiescing.
"You!" Empress Xu dotingly tapped the tip of Xu Miaojin's nose from the air, and then said to Concubine Zhou: "Madam, I think it's better for us to go to Han Palace now. Ready for days!"
Concubine Zhou really couldn't wait to see her two sons, so she said:
"Since that's the case, there will be Empress Lao!"
……
At noon, Empress Xu led the two sisters Xu Miaojin and the two unmarried princesses Zhu Zhijie, Princess Ancheng, and Princess Zhu Zhiming, Princess Xianning, to the Han Palace.
As the emperor's closest brother at present, and also the brother-in-law who solved her heart, Empress Xu did not come empty-handed for the first visit to the mansion, but brought a lot of valuable gifts.
In fact, Zhu Di specially ordered someone to pick out these precious gifts from the treasury. Without Zhu Di's order, even the queen would not be able to leave the palace, right?
In order to celebrate Concubine Zhou's birthday, Prince Han's Mansion has already been renovated. Bai Fu greets people at the gate of the mansion. He has never seen Empress Xu and Concubine Zhou before, so when he saw these two, he came with his concubine. At that time, he didn't care, but directly put them into the mansion.
In the middle courtyard, Wanchun Hall, Empress Xu and Concubine Zhou sat in the middle of the hall with dignified expressions.
Zhu Zhijie and Zhu Zhiming, who were next to the two, stood on one side respectfully, and they did not dare to sit down.
When Zhu Song heard that the princess was back, he came from outside the hall, but before he saw anyone in the hall, he shouted:
"Miaomiao, have you seen Concubine Mother? How is Concubine Mother? How are you doing? Have you been...uh..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Song saw two people sitting in the middle of the Wanchun hall at a glance, one was Empress Xu, he was familiar with it.
As for the other person, although he didn't know her, Zhu Song instinctively felt an unprecedented sense of familiarity from her! (To be continued.)
Chapter 153
The moment she saw Zhu Song, Concubine Zhou also stood up, looking at Zhu Song with excitement and ecstasy.
Seeing that Zhu Song was silent in a daze, Xu Miaojin suddenly said, "Why, doesn't the husband recognize the concubine mother? Why don't you come over and see the concubine mother soon?"
Concubine Mother? So this person is Concubine Zhou!
Although Zhu Song has never met Concubine Zhou, the memory left in this body cannot fool him.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Song kneeled on the ground involuntarily, and at the same time kowtowed to Concubine Zhou: "My son has seen Concubine Mother, how is Concubine Mother recently?"
Concubine Zhou hadn't seen Zhu Song's son for a few years, and now she saw the son who had grown a lot taller and was quite majestic, she couldn't help showing excitement, stood up and looked Zhu Song up and down for a while, and then just Opened the mouth and said:
