Several young female officials stood with their hands lowered, not raising their heads or daring to listen.
It seems that the female officials have learned the rules well.
Xie Mingxi nodded secretly in her heart, opened her mouth and told everyone to leave. Then she said: "Where is the letter from Ambassador Zhao?"
Xianghui took out the folded letter from her sleeve and presented it. Xie Mingxi took the letter and unfolded it, glanced at it, and pulled out a sarcastic sneer from the corner of her mouth.
What a great Queen Mother Yu!
After more than a year, I finally can’t stand it anymore!
The Zhao Yuan Envoy was also very clear-sighted and cautious in his actions. He first stabilized Empress Dowager Yu and Yu Qiao, and secretly sent people to Jiaofang Palace to deliver the message. What happened next has nothing to do with the Zhao Yuan Envoy.
.
Xianghui never talked too much and asked questions, and waited quietly on the side.
After Xie Mingxi read the letter, she thought for a moment and whispered a few instructions.
Xianghui's expression did not change and she responded one by one.
…
At this time, Yu Qiao took the medicine bottle from the envoy Zhao, carefully put it into his sleeve, and then returned to his room as if nothing had happened.
When Zhilan was alive, Empress Dowager Yu always ordered Zhilan to do these dirty things.
In the past, Yu Qiao was jealous and jealous of Zhi Lan's favor. Now that such a "good thing" has finally happened to her, Yu Qiao is not at all excited or happy, and feels panic and uneasiness in her heart.
The emperor and empress were deeply in love, and everyone in the palace could see it.
Empress Dowager Yu wanted to cause trouble for Empress Xie and wanted to make Yu Yan the concubine. She repeatedly hinted, but the emperor did not respond at all. Every time she came to Fulin Palace to pay her respects, she never looked at Miss Yu Jiu.
Queen Mother Yu came up with the simplest, most direct and most effective way. As long as the matter is completed, the emperor will not accept Miss Yu Jiu into the palace...
Empress Dowager Yu was of high rank and noble status. No matter how angry the Empress was, she could do nothing to stop Empress Dowager Yu. Afterwards, she would probably turn this anger on her...
Thinking of this, Yu Qiao's throat tightened and the corners of her eyes kept feeling astringent.
She touched the medicine bottle in her sleeve, and her right hand trembled violently.
What can she do?
As a slave, she can only obey her master's orders. Otherwise, there is no need to wait until the future, when Queen Mother Yu can make her irreversible.
"Sister Yuqiao," a little palace maid knocked on the door with a crisp voice: "Sister Xuan, the Queen Mother, go."
Yu Qiao quickly wiped the corners of her red eyes and said in a low voice: "I know, I'll be there right away."
After a cup of tea, when Yu Qiao appeared in front of Queen Mother Yu, her expression was as usual, nothing strange.
Empress Dowager Yu took a deep look at Yu Qiao and opened her mouth to order: "Send someone to Yiqing Palace to deliver a message, asking the Emperor to come over at noon and have lunch with Ai's family."
Yu Qiao frowned and responded in a low voice.
…
Empress Dowager Yu personally sent someone to invite her, and Sheng Hong had no objection.
Sheng Hong needed to maintain his reputation of being filial to the emperor, so no matter how busy he was every day, he never neglected his etiquette. He would go to Fulin Palace to visit Queen Mother Yu once or twice every day.
Every few days, Empress Dowager Yu would have people come to invite her. Sheng Hong would show her "mother's kindness and son's filial piety".
The only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is that every time I go to Fulin Palace, Queen Mother Yu is always served by Miss Yu Jiu.
This time is no exception.
Miss Yu Jiu timidly bowed: "Yan'er has met the emperor."
The fifteen-year-old cardamom girl is like a bud just blooming on a branch, fresh and beautiful. Even a man with a cold heart cannot be helpless.
However, Sheng Hong was the exception, with a very cold expression: "Ping Shen."
Yu Yan felt aggrieved.
In fact, she didn't want to shy away from the emperor all the time. The emperor was extremely handsome, but his attitude towards her was as cold as ice. But she was sent to the palace by her family, carrying the expectations of the Yu family and the Queen Mother Yu...
She can't hide even if she wants to. What can she do?
Queen Mother Yu smiled gently and said: "Sister Yan, haven't the Ai family told you several times? You and the emperor are cousins. There are no outsiders here, so it doesn't matter if you call me cousin."
Before Yu Yan could change her words shyly, Sheng Hong said coldly: "No need. I don't have the habit of recognizing my cousin everywhere."
Queen Mother Yu: "..."
Yu Yan: "..."
The face that Sheng Hong treated Yu Yan in front of her was no different from the face of Queen Mother Yu.
Yu Yan was ashamed, angry and aggrieved, her beautiful face turned red with suppressed tears, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Queen Mother Yu was very angry and glared at Sheng Hong: "What does the emperor mean by saying this? Sister Yan is the niece of the Ai family. It is natural for me to call you cousin. Could it be that the emperor dislikes the Ai family?"
A big unfilial hat came down.
Sheng Hong had his own countermeasures and immediately said with a smile: "Don't be upset, Queen Mother. I was just joking. In fact, I am mainly afraid that Ming Xi will be sour and jealous. Most women are petty, and it is only the Queen who is considerate of her children."
"
Empress Dowager Yu was choked to the point of not being able to take a breath, and she laughed angrily: "If these words spread, the empress will have a reputation of being jealous and unworthy. The emperor cares about the empress so much, so he should think about the empress."
Sheng Hong grinned and said: "What outsiders say about good, jealous and unvirtuous is all nonsense. I know in my heart that Mingxi is not jealous and unvirtuous. Occasionally being jealous is also part of the fun of a couple!"
Queen Mother Yu: "..."
Queen Mother Yu was so disgusted that she almost vomited.
After successfully responding to Empress Dowager Yu, Sheng Hong finally let go of his inner depression and said, "It's getting late, so I'll order the imperial kitchen to pass on the food! I will accompany my mother to eat."
Empress Dowager Yu swallowed the suffocating breath and forced out a smile: "That's fine. Someone, go and tell the imperial kitchen to pass the food."
I feel resentful in my heart.
Today I want to see how loving and sweet you couple are!
Queen Mother Yu turned to look at Yu Yan: "Sister Yan, come here and help the Ai family."
Yu Yan's eyes were still a little red, she responded in a low voice, walked forward and helped Queen Mother Yu to lie down.
Queen Mother Yu was weak and weak. With the support of Yu Yan, she walked slowly to the dining room. The exquisite meals were presented one after another.
For today, Empress Dowager Yu had already planned. The matter of administering the medicine should not be known to others, nor could it be faked by others. Yu Qiao went to the imperial dining room in person, and when the soup was served in the imperial dining room, she served the soup in person. Taking advantage of this opportunity,
Put the medicine quietly into the soup.
The unsuspecting Sheng Hong drank the soup with medicine and would feel sleepy at first. She would open her mouth and let Sheng Hong take a nap in Fulin Palace for a while. At that time, she would find an excuse and send Yu Yan to bring some tea.
go……
No matter how good Sheng Hong is, he can't resist the power of the secret medicine in the palace.
No matter how powerful Xie Mingxi is, she still has to swallow her anger.
At that time, how could Sheng Hong have the face to claim that he was deeply in love with the queen?
The days of Queen Xie being the sole pamperer of the harem will soon be over.
Thinking of the pleasure, the corners of Queen Mother Yu's mouth slightly raised.
At this moment, a palace maid came in with a panic look and reported: "To report to the Queen Mother, there is a commotion in the imperial dining room!"
