The concubines in the harem were sitting in the pavilion one after another. Some of them were not wearing enough clothes and were shivering from the cold. But no one had the courage to speak, because the queen's face was extremely ugly today. The reason was the vacant imperial portrait.
Royal concubine position.
Someone had been sent to invite the imperial concubine, but the eunuch who came back said that the imperial concubine had already left Feng Ling Palace. However, almost an hour had passed since the eunuch reported back, but the imperial concubine was still late in coming.
The owner of the bright yellow figure is smiling beautifully as he shuttles through the imperial garden, chatting and laughing with the maid behind him, as if he accidentally passed by the gathering pavilion of the concubines in the harem. The bright yellow color is dazzling to some people.
.
It is said that a country will definitely have a queen in its harem, but it may not necessarily have an imperial concubine.
The identities of the imperial concubine and the queen are only different in name. The queen manages the six palaces, while the imperial concubine is the associate minister. They live in two palaces, one is called Fengyi Palace and the other is called Fenling Palace. They live in the east and west palaces of the harem.
.
In addition, no one in the harem dared to name the palace with the word "phoenix". Even the clothes of the imperial concubine and the queen were both yellow. The difference was that the queen's robe was embroidered with phoenix, while the imperial concubine's robe was embroidered with phoenix.
It's peony.
There is only a slight difference between the status of the empress and the imperial concubine. In addition, Mo Zihan was once the real empress, and she, Xu Huizhen, was just the imperial concubine to take her place.
Now that Mo Zihan has made a comeback and won the favor of the emperor again, it is not impossible for her to be pushed out of her position as the queen at any time.
She was already worried and jealous, but now seeing Mo Zihan's arrogant look, Xu Huizhen's hands were shaking with anger before she even said a word.
He kicked the eunuch who was trying to push her back, stood up straight, and without caring about the queen's dignity, shouted at the top of his voice to Mo Zihan, who didn't seem to see her at all.
"The Imperial Concubine!"
Seeing the bright yellow people playing in the garden, he turned to look towards her and smiled brightly. When the other party came closer, he lowered his voice and asked sharply:
"Doesn't the Imperial Concubine not know that every other day, the concubines of the harem must gather in the Imperial Garden to pay their respects to the Queen? It is a palace rule and an imperial order to pay greetings to the Queen. The Imperial Concubine is still wandering in the Imperial Garden at this time. I
Do you think that the imperial concubine deliberately defied the palace rules and despised the imperial power?"
After the queen finished speaking, Mo Zihan just walked to the pavilion. Looking at the people in the pavilion who were either sympathetic or worried, or gloating about others' misfortunes, Mo Zihan smiled again, and Yingying gave a simple palace ceremony to the queen.
"I have met the Queen, and the Queen is a thousand years old!"
Before the queen could say anything about getting up without ceremony, she immediately straightened up.
When the concubines in the rear saw Mo Zihan standing up, they also stood up and kowtowed to Mo Zihan.
"Sisters, please get up! We are sisters in the same family, so there is no need to be so polite. What's more, Han'er is a newcomer, and she will have to rely on the care of all the sisters in the future."
Mo Zihan's humble words made other concubines immediately feel that this original queen was a good person.
Seeing Mo Zihan acting like the master of the house, Xu Huizhen felt even more angry. She sneered and said, "Honorable Concubine, do you know that according to the rules, concubines in the harem who do not greet the queen will be punished with fifty sticks, and those who are late to greet the queen will be punished with twenty sticks?
"
After hearing the Queen's words, Mo Zihan was frightened and said pitifully:
"Empress, I originally got up early this morning to pay my respects to your empress.
