idle mistress

Chapter 104
Only occasionally when she wakes up early in the morning, the clothes that the man changed are hung on the screen, and the books she turned over before going to bed are also neatly placed beside the pillow. She knows that this man slept next to her last night. up.

After the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, this person went directly to Beijing and stayed in the capital.

The 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

Xu Weiqiu was called into the palace as the concubine of Mausoleum.

She stepped into the palace gate wearing a grand court dress, and almost all the concubines in the harem came to welcome her.

In front of the palace gate, she was about to salute, when Zhonggong wearing a phoenix crown hurriedly stepped forward to support her, preventing her from bowing down.

It was only when the current empress politely stepped forward and took her hand that Xu Weiqiu realized the specialness of his status as the princess of the Mausoleum.
-
She was led by the queen to the residence of the old concubine.

A court lady reported to the inside: "Taifei, the Queen Mother and Princess Ling have arrived."

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from inside: "It's counted, let this girl come in."

Xu Weiqiu turned his head and looked at the empress of the Zhenggong Palace in front of her. The empress smiled at her and walked in first, followed by her.

After entering, Xu Weiqiu immediately saw Concubine Qin sitting on the soft chair. In ten years, the old woman has aged a lot, but her complexion is good. The person in front of her is dressed luxuriously, but she can still match the round face in her memory. .

She didn't forget that this is the palace, and bowed respectfully: "The concubine has seen the concubine."

Concubine Qin sat there and looked at her. She had long seen that this little girl was a beauty, but she never imagined that with a little dressing up, she would be so beautiful.

She looked at it, feeling happy, the concubine's arrogance could no longer be lifted, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and immediately blamed her with a resentful face: "

You girl, after all these years, you have never come to the palace to pay your respects. "

After Xu Weiqiu heard this, the muscles on his face twitched...

If it weren't for you, an old lady, messing up the mandarin ducks, my old lady would have been at ease in the world long ago, why would she be trapped in the palace for nearly ten years.

You'll be fine if you don't curse, and you've come all the way to Beijing to greet you?
Even though she was slandering and refuting in her heart, facing the familiar face of the old woman in front of her, her heart was like seeing a relative, and she couldn't get angry.

The more Concubine Qin looked at her, the more delighted she was, she skipped over the empress of the main palace, took her hand affectionately and led her into the inner room.

Seeing that she was completely ignored, the queen showed embarrassment, and retreated to the outside to wait anxiously.

The old concubine said kindly: "Girl, don't call me a concubine or a concubine. You should call me grandma."

When the queen outside heard this, she felt sour in her heart. The old concubine was her aunt and mother-in-law, and she had never talked to her so cordially for so many years.

The lunch was served at the residence of Concubine Qin, and there were nearly ten unnamed women who attended the table together. They should all be concubines who are usually close to Concubine Qin.

The imperial chef set out the dishes, and Xu Weiqiu was surprised to see the light dishes in front of Concubine Qin.

The court lady Pearl saw her surprise, and explained: "The concubine has been worshiping Buddha for the past ten years, and all she eats is vegetarian food."

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Weiqiu's mouth couldn't help but curl up. She knows how much this Concubine Qin loves to eat meat. Once a person's diet becomes a habit, it is not easy to change it. After ten years of fasting, it is really embarrassing she is gone.

It seems that the old man's complexion has something to do with her self-discipline, and she couldn't help but secretly admire her.

Concubine Qin couldn't see how careful she was, so she couldn't help but said: "It's fake to worship Buddha, and it's true to eat vegetarian food. If it wasn't for you girl saying that I can't get fat anymore, would I need to eat these things every day?"

There was a bit of complaint in the words.

The concubine is fasting, but Xu Weiqiu is not. She couldn't help but answer:
"There is a saying that it is hard to buy money and get thinner when you are old. When you are old, you should eat light. Good thing."

Concubine Qin raised her eyes: "Yo, if you dare to eat a few more wild vegetables, you will surely live a long life. There are so many nuns in the world, so there is no short life?"

"I don't know if the nuns will live long or not. Don't you know how the concubine is doing?"

She was concerned about the identities of the two of them, and originally wanted to have a meal in a proper manner, but she didn't realize that when her temper came up, the two of them turned back again.

All the concubines sitting below saw that Princess Qin refused to give in every word, and Princess Qin did not get angry, and they all showed surprise.

Concubine Qin has always been a pivotal figure in the harem. After the first crown prince was deposed, the first empress also lost power.

One must know that the current Empress Dowager is also from the natal family of Concubine Qin, so one can imagine the status of Concubine Qin in the harem.

One must know that this Concubine Qin is not easy to get along with, she is not only poisonous but also picky on weekdays.Now that Princess Ling is so indulgent, everyone can't help but think of the current situation.

It can be said that King Ling already has the power over the world, and it is no wonder that Princess Buling is so valued.

Concubine Qin and Concubine Ling didn't know what was going on in the crowd, the two of them actually found the rhythm of ten years ago in the bickering between you and me, they were both immersed in memories without knowing it.

After lunch, Concubine Qin retreated to the left and right, and led Xu Weiqiu to wander around the palace, leaving only the court lady Pearl to wait on her. The two walked and chatted for more than half an hour.

Xu Weiqiu was full of energy. After all, Concubine Qin was too old to keep up with her physical strength. On the way, the maid Pearl saw that Concubine Qin was weak, so she boldly stepped forward and invited Concubine Qin back.

The palace had a nice view. After Concubine Qin left, Xu Weiqiu wandered around alone.

As she walked, she came to a high wall. She was attracted by the sound of a cat meowing. When she looked up, she saw a milk cat standing on the wall and barking at her.

It seems to be trapped on the high wall.

Poor little things.

Xu Weiqiu rushed to it and stretched out his arms: "Jump down, I will follow you."

The little cat just stood on the wall and meowed.

She looked around and decided to go up to rescue this little thing, so she took off her heavy robe and climbed to the top of the high wall step by step using her housekeeping skills of climbing cliffs in her previous life.

"Meow." Seeing her coming up, the cat called out to her, pitifully.

Xu Weiqiu leaned on the high wall and crawled towards the cat little by little. When he was about to get close, the little cat swished and jumped down by itself, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, dozens of crows were flying over Xu Weiqiu's head, each of them looked like this milk cat was calling to mock her...

Xu Weiqiu, is your head flooded?
