Qin Lei bid farewell to the Queen Mother and followed the pretty female official with picturesque eyes out of Cining Palace. The female official brought Qin Lei to the door, and there was a female official from the Queen Mother Palace at the door.

Leaving the Cining Palace, the female official who accompanied Qin Lei was obviously much more relaxed, holding a lantern and whispering in front of her, and occasionally secretly turned around and glanced at the Empress's son who had not seen for 16 years.

Qin Lei was not angry either. After they had seen enough, he asked, "Dare you sisters, are we going to Kunning Palace?"

A female official turned around and said to Qin Leifu, slightly depressed: "If you go back to your highness, you don't have to go to Kunning Palace. The Empress and the Imperial Concubine all sent a message: It was too late and they were exhausted. Let you go and pay tribute tomorrow."

Qin Lei nodded and smiled, "Okay." Then he stopped saying anything. Shen Qing behind him looked at him in surprise, thinking to himself, Your Highness would be nervous too.

In the Qin system, the empress was the emperor's wife and was in charge of the harem. However, when the empress dowager was alive, the empress could only be ranked second in the harem. Below the empress were the fourth ladies, namely the imperial concubine, Shufei, Defei, and Virtuous concubine. Among them, the imperial concubine was the most respected, and the other three were the nine concubines, twenty-seventh generation women, and eighty-one imperial wife. Except for some excessively licentious emperors, most of them would not use these corporations.

In the sixteen years since Emperor Zhaowu's reign, he had a wife, a wife of the last four, eight concubines and six generations, and the number was quite moderate.

Concubine Jin was named Concubine Xian. Because she lives in Jinyu Palace, she should be called Concubine Jin Xian. However, in general, she is simply called Concubine Jin.

Jinyu Palace is far away from Cining Palace. Qin Lei and his friends left the yard where Cining Palace was located and sat in a sedan chair for a while before they arrived.

Qin Lei got off the sedan chair and saw a group of palace maids surrounded by two excited palace ladies coming up.

A man on the left, wearing a royal blue lake silk palace outfit, looked younger last year, and was still beautiful and thrilling with crystal tears on his face. While running towards Qin Lei, she stretched out her hands, and called out: "My Lei'er..." His expression was sad, and his voice was like a cuckoo crying blood.

The lady in purple who had already stepped forward with her ran a few steps before she stopped, her eyes filled with tears and her whole body trembled. If it weren't for the palace maids next to her, she might have fallen head-on.

Qin Lei was in chaos. He was indeed half true and half false at the beginning in front of the old lady, but even if it was just nominal, he could not make any falsehood.

He stood there in the local area, and his face changed. Looking at the woman who was rushing over, all the solutions he had originally thought of were rejected. He didn't know what attitude he should use to face his first mother.

Qin Lei was an orphan in his past life and had never seen his parents.

The woman was getting closer and closer, and she could see her distant eyebrows, the crystal tears in the corners of her eyes, and her slightly twitching lips under the light that was not very bright.

Qin Lei sighed in his heart, ready to try to accept his mother.

Just as he was about to open his arms and catch the woman who was like a slutty swallow that was thrown into the forest, the woman stopped in front of him. He looked at Qin Lei in infinite sadness and said in a stern voice: "Lei'er, do you just don't like your mother so much?" Tears fell.

Qin Lei knew that he was really too slow to react, which hurt the woman's heart. He sighed in his heart and shook his head and said, "No, in fact, the child was also very happy when he saw his mother. But he didn't know how to express it, it was very messy."

At this time, the woman in purple in the back finally walked forward, looked at Qin Lei deeply, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She said to Mrs. Blue in gentle words: "Empress, this child has never seen his mother since I remember, so it is normal for him to be at a loss. If you have anything to say, let's go into the house and say it." As she said that, she gave Qin Lei a look.

Qin Lei nodded and joined the purple-clad woman to help Concubine Jin who was crying and she walked into the yard.

When I entered the house, I saw that the whole room was illuminated by the eighteen palace lanterns hanging on the surrounding walls as bright as day. The room was magnificent and beautiful.

Qin Lei was in a state of confusion but was not in the mood to look at these things. He and the woman in purple helped Concubine Jin to sit down on the couch, then took two steps back and fell to the ground.

When Concubine Jin, who was tearful, saw him kneeling down, she shook her head and called him up, murmured with words like I was not worthy of being your mother. The wife of Ziyi spoke softly on the side, and Concubine Jin stopped crying for a long time.

Qin Lei finally stopped crying, and felt a little relieved. He kowtowed three times respectfully, leaned on the ground and said softly: "You are disobedient, and you will be hurt as soon as you see your mother. Please punish me." His head was buried deep on the carpet and refused to lift it up.

Concubine Jin called him up, but he shook his head and couldn't get up. The empress went forward again, how could Concubine Jin pull him with golden branches and jade leaves? After pulling him a few times, she couldn't move. Instead, she knelt on the ground with her legs soft and hugging Qin Lei's shoulders and cried.

The mother and son hugged their heads and cried for a while before they got up together and sat down to speak. Concubine Jin's eyes were already crying, and Qin Lei's eyes were red.

When the woman in purple saw the two of them reconciled, she wiped her tears and said with a forced smile: "That's right, this is the way the family should be. Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, right?"

After she reminded her, Qin Lei felt so hungry that he was dizzy. In the afternoon, he vomited everything in his stomach and felt uncomfortable. He had not eaten until now before entering the palace.

He was embarrassed to smile, touched his stomach and said, "I'm really hungry." Then he stood up and saluted the woman, and asked his mother, "I don't know that this elder is..." He had a very good impression of this gentle and gentle woman in purple.

Concubine Jin held the hand of the woman in purple and chuckled, "I just cried, but forgot to introduce my sister-in-law." She also smiled at Qin Lei, and the pear blossoms were raining. "This is my mother's sister-in-law, you should call me aunt."

Qin Lei thought to himself that it was indeed the wife of the Shen family, and he saluted respectfully again.

Mrs. Shen smiled and received a gift from him. Then she turned around and pulled him and Concubine Jin toward the side hall.

The dining table in the side hall was filled with eight dim sums, as well as four soups, four soups, and four candied fruits. Dozens of exquisite and gorgeous dishes of all sizes filled the dining table.

There were also palace maids queuing up to serve food, but they couldn't put it down for a while, so they stood aside with a tray.
