I explained to the housekeeper that I was going to the palace to pay my respects, so that he would remember to inform me when my brother comes back. In fact, I wanted him to see the right time and bring me back. I don’t know what the Queen Mother and Hongcheng would do.
I followed Hongcheng in different carriages and entered the palace gate one after another. I sat in the car and kept rubbing my hands. I was not afraid but nervous. I didn’t know how the Queen Mother would deal with me. There was nothing between me and her.
There is only a thin layer of paper left, and you may break out and declare war at any time;
When I was dazed, Xiaolan pushed me gently and said, "Your Majesty is here." I gathered my emotions, got up and got out of the car gracefully, and with Xiaolan's help, I came down to the front of the Queen Mother;
The Queen Mother sits gorgeously in the main seat of the hall. I really wonder, what kind of seat does she want most? Such a lofty status has not satisfied her yet. What else does she want?
I wanted to go back and think about it, but the etiquette cannot be discarded. I saluted generously and decently, and the red and orange people beside me also saluted with me;
The Queen Mother did not let me get up. Instead, she warmly asked Hongcheng to get up and go to her side. She clapped her hands and praised her. The two of them were so enthusiastic about each other. They completely ignored me and regarded me as nothing. I did not say anything. This was not bad, of course.
I don’t exist, I can leave in a moment;
For a moment, the Queen Mother reacted as if she had just seen me, "Oh! Isn't this Concubine Ling? Why did she come into the palace?"
I'm dizzy! Didn't you two collude to let me in? "When I return to my mother, I have been recuperating at my parents' house recently. I feel very sorry for not coming to visit my mother. Today, the concubine Jade is coming to the house, so I will come to the palace to see her.
Look, please forgive my mother-in-law for her temporary neglect."
"Well, it's not that the Ai family doesn't understand you, but Concubine Ling! You also understand. Now is a very important moment. Soon, the harem will be enriched. Although you and Concubine Yu are both the four major concubines, it is inevitable that a newcomer will come in.
Someone needs to take care of it, so it’s a good time for you to go back to your parents’ home and have some leisure time. All other things must be managed by the Ai family and Concubine Yu. The Ai family also has to take care of the Supreme Emperor, but it’s hard work for Concubine Yu.”
"I was negligent. The hard-working Queen Mother has a Jade Concubine. I haven't been able to adapt to my health recently, and I'm very happy. After I get used to it a little, I will definitely share some of the work of the Jade Concubine." I answered sincerely, but the Queen Mother was not like that.
think;
"That's not necessary. I can't take care of you because you're not feeling well. Otherwise, the emperor will blame the Ai family. The Ai family doesn't want to delay the relationship between our mother and son because of you. In order to allow Concubine Yu to control the real power more legitimately and prevent others from gossiping, the Ai family feels
Did Concubine Ling take the initiative to talk to the Emperor about the candidate for the position of Queen?" The Queen Mother looked at me shrewdly, not missing any detail on my face;
"I have no right to interfere with the queen's position. This is the emperor's decision. If I do that, it would not be an overstep and it would be inconsistent with etiquette!" I declined politely;
"Bang!" The Queen Mother knocked down the tea cup at hand and started to shout angrily, "Qi Xiaoxuan! The Ai family has saved you enough face, don't toast and eat as a penalty! The Ai family thinks that you are the Prime Minister's sister.
I’ll save you some face and don’t test the Aijia’s patience!”
Now that the Queen Mother has made her attitude towards me clear, I will no longer treat you politely. "Queen Mother, I believe that I have been ill for several months and have been unable to survive for several months. The Queen Mother should be aware of this reason? If you think about it in detail, maybe the Queen Mother
Will your old man still know the root cause of the disease?"
As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother turned pale on the spot and pointed at me on the high seat and kept saying "you, you, you"
