Empress, she doesn't want to fight

Chapter 36

"Chuan Huan, go to Ganning Palace." Not long after Jiang Man left, the Empress Dowager Zhou ordered someone to send her a message.

When Emperor Yong'an heard that Mrs. Zhou had come to Qianning Palace, he was surprised for a moment, and then got up to greet her, "Mother, if there is anything you need, just ask someone to tell your son to see you, why bother to come?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou said with a smile: "I know that you have been busy with the affairs of Yuning Mansion during this period, and you can't even rest well. How can the Ai family cause you any trouble?"

Emperor Yong'an supported the Empress Dowager Zhou to sit on the chair, and said, "How could the Empress Mother be causing trouble to me?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou smiled, instead of continuing to be polite with Emperor Yong'an, she went straight to the topic and said: "This morning, Beauty Jiang from Yufuyuan came to Ai's family to talk about Yuning Mansion, and said that she wanted to speak for Yuning Mansion. Aijia thinks her idea is quite good, we people in the harem will set an example first, and the pressure on you here, the emperor, will be less, what does the emperor think?"

"Beauty Jiang proposed it?" Emperor Yong'an felt a little unbelievable. Beauty Jiang usually looks like she doesn't want to get involved in anything. She didn't expect to propose such a thing, but this proposal reminded him. If the people in the government donated gold and silver, then those court ministers and businessmen should also donate generously.

Emperor Yong'an thought of this, and nodded to Empress Dowager Zhou, "Then I have to trouble Empress Dowager to take the lead in this matter."

"What did the emperor say? As the empress dowager of the Jing Dynasty, it is Aijia's duty to help the people in Yuning Mansion who are suffering."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she was concerned about Emperor Yong'an's physical problems, and left after telling Zhao Quanfu to take good care of Emperor Yong'an.

Back at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager Zhou took care of this matter. She rarely summoned the concubines from Emperor Yong'an's harem. This time, since she wanted to take the lead in this matter, she had to gather the concubines from the harem first. .

In what name?
Several people around the Empress Dowager Zhou gathered together to make suggestions for the Empress Dowager Zhou.

"Why don't you invite people into the palace to sing a hall, and invite all the palace ladies to come to the Compassion Ning Palace to listen to the opera, and tell me about it by the way." Qingyue said.

Su Momo shook her head and vetoed: "That's not right, the emperor is upset about the disaster in Yuning Mansion right now, but our Compassionate Ning Palace is singing in a big way, not to mention whether the emperor is very sad or not, but outside After hearing this, many people will also say that the queen mother is wrong."

Liu Ying thought for a while, and said, "My lady, the camellias in the garden at the back of the Palace of Compassion and Ning are blooming just right, why don't you send a post to invite the ladies from all the palaces to come to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to enjoy the flowers?"

The Empress Dowager Zhou pondered for a moment, then nodded, admiring the flowers was a good excuse, "Then Liuying, you and Qingyue will draw up the post today and send it to the palaces."

"Your Majesty, when is the best time to enjoy the flowers?" Liuying asked.

"Just tomorrow." Queen Mother Zhou said.Anyway, this flower viewing feast is just an excuse, and they don't need to prepare much, the sooner they do it, the better.

When the post about the Flower Appreciation Banquet of the Compassionate Ning Palace was delivered to the masters of the palaces, the masters of the palaces couldn't help but think about it.

"The Empress Dowager has been ignoring the affairs of the harem for a long time, and now she suddenly arranged this flower viewing banquet, could it be for the second prince?" Chao Yun speculated after handing the post to Song Yuyi.

Song Yuyi looked at the post, and there was nothing written on the post, only the names of the invitees and the time of the banquet, signed by the Palace of Compassion and Ning, with the empress dowager's small seal stamped on it, although this small seal is not the empress's Feng Yin, can also represent the empress dowager.

The empress dowager used this seal, and this post was similar to Yizhi. Song Yuyi thought that the empress dowager meant that everyone who accepted the post had to be present.

"Your Majesty is getting older now, and it's too much to suffer to attend the flower viewing feast with such a big belly, and the sky is so stunned now, in case..., isn't the Empress Dowager embarrassing?" said Mu Yu, another maid of the Minse Palace. Some are dissatisfied.

Song Yuyi touched her overly big belly, thinking that the imperial physician mentioned that the person in her belly might also be a little prince.

If the empress dowager really stood behind the second prince, it would be troublesome for the child in her belly.

Song Yiyi raised her head and said: "No matter what, since the empress dowager's post has already been posted, we said that it will arrive tomorrow. You two prepare the clothes and jewelry I will wear tomorrow. What is the empress dowager's idea? We will go tomorrow naturally." Just know."

Zhao Yun and Mu Yu helplessly replied, "Yes, empress."

Many people in the harem guessed the same as Song Yuyi and the others, thinking that the Empress Dowager Zhou wanted to re-enter the power center of the harem through this flower viewing feast.

Concubine Jiang held the post, frowned and pondered for a while, and then told Zijing: "Go and find out whether all the concubines in the harem have received the post for the flower viewing banquet, or only some of them have received the post."

If the Empress Dowager Zhou wants to take charge of the harem again, she will definitely call all the concubines to see her.

One day passed in the blink of an eye, no matter how the masters of the palaces guessed and verified, they all showed great importance and caution to the flower viewing banquet prepared by the Queen Mother Zhou.

Among them, Jiang Man may be the most relaxed one. She was very happy to know that the Queen Mother Zhou had started to deal with this matter so quickly. Not overly ostentatious dress, brought a set of ruby ​​jewelry, happily went to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

In a few days, this is Jiang Man's third visit to the Palace of Compassion and Ning. Although she is not very familiar with the people serving the Palace of Compassion and Ning, she will not be totally unfamiliar with them. Liu Ying said hello, and Jiang Man followed the servants of the Palace of Compassion and Peace to the back garden where the banquet was held.

Many people have already come to the back garden, but most of them are low-ranking concubines who are not very favored. Jiang Man glanced around inside, and unexpectedly saw Lu Meiren.

Lu Meiren and Miao Baolin, another concubine of Luomeiju, were sitting in a corner, wearing a ginger dress, staring blankly at the front. I don't see the previous publicity.

Soon Jiang Man looked away again, people have to be responsible for what they have done, although there is a reason for the emperor's ruthlessness in Lu Meiren's current situation, why is it that Lu Meiren was too arrogant and domineering when she was favored, and offended too much? Many reasons.

"My sister came early. We are close together. When my sister came, she didn't say "Sister." Just as Jiang Man looked away, Su Chongyuan's soft but uncomfortable voice came from behind her.
