The queen mother is charming

Chapter 81

Concubine Rong is back!

If you don't come back sooner or later, you choose to come back at this time.

She is the only noble concubine in Shen Muchi's harem, the same queen, the biological daughter of Princess Zhen Guo, and his cousin.

This time I went up the mountain for a few months to pray for the late emperor, and I only returned now.

He should go to the palace gate to greet him personally.

but……

Shen Muchi looked at Mu Qingchao, and decided not to give up for a while.

After hesitating for a while, he said to Mu Qingchao: "Concubine Rong Gui is back, I should go see her."

Mu Qingchao felt strange, he would see him whenever he wanted, why did he tell her these things?
Thinking like this in my heart, the smile on my face didn't diminish at all: "Your Majesty hasn't seen the imperial concubine for several months, and now she's finally returned to the palace. His Majesty should personally take care of her."

"It's just that I still have something to tell you..."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will come to you again, you wait for me."

After Shen Muchi finished speaking, she stopped staying and turned towards the palace gate.

But looking back at Mu Qingchao, he said, "I will definitely come tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, as if she had made up her mind, she turned her head and hurriedly left without looking back.

Looking at Shen Muchi's back, Chunya couldn't help asking curiously: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

It is definitely not a trivial matter that can make the emperor so solemn, and it is normal for Chunya to be curious.

However, Mu Qingchao looked indifferent, looking at Shen Muchi's appearance didn't seem like a bad thing, so it wasn't worth her concern.

What she cared more about was another matter - the return of Concubine Rong.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhong Ming died, she couldn't wait to come back.

Mu Qingchao has never dealt with Concubine Rong, and she doesn't know what kind of person she is, but what she knows is that Shen Muchi's attitude towards Concubine Rong is not as disgusting as she is towards the Zhong sisters.

After all, Princess Zhen Guo is his aunt, and Concubine Rong Gui is his cousin, so there is always some blood relationship between them.

Especially after Shen Muchi's brother died and his sister married far away, the only remaining cousin was extremely precious.

Although he can't show much favor, as long as she doesn't do too many excessive things, Shen Muchi won't touch her either.

Mu Qingchao remembered that in his previous life, Shen Muchi used gentle methods to deal with Princess Zhen Guo.

After taking over the military power, he didn't make trouble. Naturally, it was impossible to leave an imperial heir in Concubine Rong's stomach.

However, he still respects her as a noble concubine and raises her in the palace, not far or near.

For such a person, Shen Muchi was not willing to be her enemy, and Mu Qingchao was naturally not willing either.

If she is easy to get along with, it is the best situation for each other to live in peace.

If she is a bad...

Then it's no wonder she was so cruel.

But Mu Qingchao's best fantasy was shattered on the second day.

When autumn came, people tended to get sleepy. Mu Qingchao was still in bed, so Chunya came in to wake her up.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is here."

"Concubine Rong?" Mu Qingchao poked his head out from under the quilt: "What is she doing here?"

"I said I came to greet you."

Hehe, since Mu Qingchao became the empress dowager, the only person who came to greet her was Xu Cairen. Later, she found out that she didn't like getting up early, so she avoided the morning and evening appointments and changed to visit her in the afternoon.

Being able to sleep late is what Mu Qingchao is most satisfied with about his career as Queen Mother.

In society more than 1000 years later, although women's social status is getting higher and higher, they have to go to work every day.

Going to a place called an office from nine in the morning to nine in the evening, six days a week, Mu Qingchao didn't like it very much.

As a noble concubine, Concubine Rong's status is solid enough to trample her under her feet, so why do you come to please her?
If she will really settle down every morning and evening in the future, what is the difference from going to work?
Based on this alone, Mu Qingchao's impression of Concubine Rong was reduced.

There was no other way, Chunya and Qiangwei could only wash and change her clothes, and after a long time, they arrived at the front hall.

I saw a woman in gorgeous clothes sitting on the top of the hall, wearing a golden silk woven gold gown the color of a fragrant concubine, combing an auspicious cloud bun, wearing a jasper hairpin with seven treasures, and holding a teacup in her hand, sipping tea carefully.

She can't say how beautiful she is, but she is dignified and dignified. From a distance, it is her whole body demeanor that makes people admire.

"Cough cough..."

Mu Qingchao deliberately coughed twice before walking out of the hall.

Concubine Rong knew it was her, she quickly put down the tea in her hand and stood up, saluting to Mu Qingchao.

"The concubine joins the empress dowager."

Mu Qingchao was a little sleepy, she didn't know why Concubine Rong could look so radiant when she got up so early.

But in front of her, she couldn't lose her image, and said in a deep voice: "Excuse me."

She didn't know that when she looked at others, others were also looking at her.

Concubine Rong looked at her all over, but she only had one feeling - beautiful.

So beautiful that people can no longer notice what temperament is next to it.

In front of the absolute appearance, everything else, such as temperament, elegance, dignity, virtuousness... all seem not so important.

Only such an appearance can be worthy of the name of the demon concubine who flattered and killed the late emperor.

Seeing Mu Qingchao's appearance, Concubine Rong couldn't believe the news she got about Mu Qingchao and Shen Muchi in the mountains.

If there is such a woman by his side, who wouldn't want to have it?

Thinking of this in her heart, Concubine Rong still had a smile on her face, and she said to Mu Qingchao indifferently: "Thank you, Queen Mother." Then she sat back.

After she sat down, Mu Qingchao said: "You came so early to pay your respects to Ai's family, it's really hard work for you."

Concubine Rong shook her head and said: "It's the duty of a concubine to please the queen mother, and a concubine does not work hard."

"In the past, the concubines prayed in the mountains and could not perform their filial piety in front of the Queen Mother. Now that the concubines are back, they will definitely have to settle down in the morning and evening and never fall for a day."

…………

She really intends to come every day?
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Mu Qingchao hurriedly said.

"No trouble, when the concubine was in the princess mansion, the concubine's father taught the concubine to abide by her duties in the palace, serve her majesty well, and honor the empress dowager well.

Serving the queen mother is the duty of a concubine. "

Mu Qingchao choked.

I don't know if she didn't understand what she said, or if she was pretending to be stupid.

This topic could not be continued, so Mu Qingchao simply changed the topic.

"Is it good to live on the mountain? Are you used to it?" she asked.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern. The concubine lives very well. The air on the mountain is fresh. The concubine listens to the evening drum and the morning bell every day, and prays for blessings with the master. My heart has also calmed down a lot."

As Concubine Rong was talking, she paused suddenly, her tone lowered a bit.

"Speaking of which, the concubine even brought back a gift for the Queen Mother."

"Gift? What gift?" Mu Qingchao asked.

There is no meaty food on the mountain, so what good things can there be?It can be seen that Concubine Rong's smile is not a smile, but it looks like something rare.

She sat up straight and coughed twice in a decent manner.

"Cough cough, come in."

As soon as she finished speaking, two men came in from outside the hall.
