She favors the Sixth Palace again

Chapter 38 The responsibilities of being a concubine

Night gradually fell, and the early summer breeze, still a little hot, blew slowly into the west hall.

Peng Qingyin looked at the turquoise stone on the case, her eyes slightly dazed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother summons you." Her maids Lian Xin and Lian Meng have been disciplined by the Peng family's rules with her since childhood, and they are very similar to her style.

Peng Qingyin just woke up from a dream, but she didn't get up immediately. Instead, she put her hand on her heart, feeling the beating. After a while, she frowned and put her hand down.

After arranging her clothes and making sure that she was meticulous from top to bottom and couldn't make any mistakes, Peng Qingyin went to the Queen Mother's bedroom.

"I've met the Queen Mother." Peng Qingyin knelt down and saluted.

The Queen Mother was sitting in front of the mirror. The hairpin on her head had been removed and her bun had been removed. Shicai was combing her hair respectfully.

In the past, the Queen Mother would have asked Peng Qingyin to avoid the ceremony.

But today, she seemed to be unable to hear or see. She didn't even look at Peng Qingyin. She just looked at her face in the mirror, as if she was reminiscing about something.

Peng Qingyin kept her saluting posture and didn't move at all.

After a cup of tea, Peng Qingyin's legs under her skirt began to tremble, almost unbearable. The Empress Dowager seemed to have just seen her and said with a smile: "The Ai family are old now, and their eyesight and ears are not good. No, this appearance is getting withered day by day."

"The Queen Mother is in her prime." Peng Qingyin finally got permission from the Queen Mother's eyes and slowly stood up straight. The pain in her waist and legs made her a little dizzy, but she still forced herself to straighten her back.

"Only your sweet mouth." The Queen Mother smiled.

Peng Qingyin endured the numbness in her calves and walked slowly to the Queen Mother. She winked with Shicai and took advantage of the situation to take the ivory comb in Shicai's hand and comb the Queen Mother's hair with her own hands.

Even though she takes good care of herself every day, there are still a few strands of silver in the Queen Mother's black hair.

Peng Qingyin naturally turned a blind eye to this.

"Ai family members are old and have poor legs and feet. Why do you still walk slowly at such a young age?" The Queen Mother smiled at the mirror.

I don't know whether it was referring to Peng Qingyin's two steps that were too slow just now, or to something else.

Peng Qingyin stopped combing her hair, and just as she was about to plead guilty, the Queen Mother reached out and held her down: "Don't stop."

Peng Qingyin had no choice but to continue.

"As you get older, you just like to chatter a few words. Qingyin, don't think too much." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

Peng Qingyin's eyebrows were respectful: "It is my concubine's blessing to be able to accompany the Queen Mother and listen to her words."

"You are a good boy," the Queen Mother said slowly, "Concubine Liang Guifei came to see you today?"

"Yes." Peng Qingyin's voice was gentle and submissive, "The imperial concubine came to greet the Queen Mother and discuss various birthday matters. Seeing that the Queen Mother was still awake from her nap, the imperial concubine did not want to disturb her, so she went to ask my concubine first."

"It's rare for her to have such filial piety." The Queen Mother showed a sarcastic smile.

"Your Majesty is filial," Peng Qingyin said as if she couldn't hear the sarcasm in the Queen Mother's mouth, "The Queen Mother's birthday is approaching. Your Majesty is afraid that the concubine is inexperienced and will not be able to manage it well. In the end, the birthday party will be left to the concubine. The concubine is here today to look for the concubine. , that’s what I’m talking about.”

The Queen Mother's face was dark, and after a moment, she finally smiled. "Your Majesty is interested." The Queen Mother smiled.

How could Yun Yuwei, a humble man from the countryside, know how to host a palace banquet?If Yun Yuwei is really in charge, I don’t know what outrageous mistakes will be made. This is the first birthday that Ning Zhao celebrates for the Queen Mother after she ascends the throne. No mistakes can be made under any circumstances. Otherwise, how can she express her gratitude to the Queen Mother? How can officials show their deep love for mother and son to the world?

Deep love between mother and son...

A trace of pain appeared on the Queen Mother's face - if her child hadn't disappeared during the palace chaos, and she was unable to have any more children because of her physical injury, how could it be that Ning Zhao would be able to sit on this throne? !
They are not biological mother and son, so there is a natural gap between them; now Ning Zhao is obsessed with Yun Yuwei, a bitch. He is young and energetic, and he is thinking of attacking the power in her camp even before he is ready to take the throne... He is a person who cannot be raised. Familiar white-eyed wolf!

The Queen Mother thought bitterly, if she had no choice now but to take a step back and bide her time, how could she be forced into such an embarrassing situation by Ning Zhao?
"Since Your Majesty still wants you to celebrate your birthday, it means that Your Majesty still values ​​you," the Queen Mother held down the hand holding the ivory comb. The girl's hand was white and delicate, full of fresh and vigorous breath, with infinite vitality and possibility; she said to The girl with a calm expression in the mirror smiled, "Qingyin, now that you have entered the palace, you should understand what is the most important thing about being a concubine."

"Please give me some advice from the Queen Mother." Peng Qingyin remained meek.

The Queen Mother nodded, very satisfied - this is the daughter everyone has taught her, gentle, courteous and thrifty, making it impossible for anyone to make a mistake.

It didn't matter even if Ning Zhao was temporarily fascinated by Yun Yuwei, Peng Qingyin couldn't find anything wrong with him.

If you can't find fault, then the virtuous concubine will always be the virtuous concubine.

But, how could such a good girl remain a concubine?How could you succumb to that bitch Yun Yuwei?

"As His Majesty's concubine, the most important thing is to give birth to children for Your Majesty." The Queen Mother stared at Peng Qingyin in the mirror and said word by word.

Peng Qingyin blushed.

"Your Majesty has no heirs now. If you can give birth to your first child, no matter whether it is a boy or a girl, no one in the harem can pass you." The Queen Mother looked at her steadily, "Even if the Queen takes over in the future There is nothing to worry about in the harem.”

"With children, authority will be more stable." The Queen Mother said meaningfully.

"Did you give Songshi Jianyi to Concubine De?" Ning Zhao asked.

It's not that as an emperor, he still cares about these little things, but Yun Yu Wei's actions really make him unpredictable.

Yun Yu nodded slightly: "The Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, you can't continue to be in such a stalemate with the Queen Mother."

Ning Zhao's expression turned cold: "She poisoned me!"

If someone poisoned Yun Lan, he didn't believe that Yun Yuwei could sit here calmly and let him shake hands with the culprit.

Yun Yuwei looked around subconsciously and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were only two of them in the hall.

"But we have no evidence." Yun Yu sighed slightly, "I don't want you to be blamed."

"I'm sorry, Yu Wei," Ning Zhao's face softened slightly, he reached out to hold Yun Yuwei's hand and whispered, "I didn't want you to get involved in these messy things."

He forced Yun Yuwei to stay, but he couldn't even give her a peaceful life.

So what exactly did he give Yun Yuwei?
Yun Yuwei could hear the shame and depression in his words, so she silently held Ning Zhao's hand.

"Ning Zhao, this is impossible." Although cruel, she still held his hand firmly and said those words, "I am already in it."
