Queen is fearless

Chapter 55 Mind

Madam Yan's words made Concubine Xing's anger fade a bit.

Taking a few deep breaths, Concubine Xing sat down. The debris in the hall had been cleaned up. She reached out and took the porcelain vase with only one left, and touched it lovingly.

"It was given to me by the late emperor when I was pregnant with Rui'er. Now there is only one left. It looks very much like the former emperor and me."

The anger gradually calmed down, Concubine Xing handed over the porcelain bottle to Madam Yan, and told her to keep it safe.

"You two, are you frightened by this palace?" Looking at Mingyue and Haoyue, a smile appeared on the face of Concubine Xing.

"It's not frightening, I'm just worried that my aunt will get angry." Mingyue said, compared to Haoyue, she was more tactful.

"I'm fine, don't worry, don't worry, no matter what, I will find a way to make you the emperor's favorite concubine."

As she said so, Mingyue and Haoyue looked at each other and bowed to her.

"This Palace is a bit tired, you guys go down first." With a wave of hands, Concubine Xing gave orders, and Mingyue and Haoyue responded and retreated together.

The residence of the two is in the side hall of Ci'an Palace. When they are at home, the two sisters often live together, so it is the same in Ci'an Palace.

Back in the side hall, Mingyue screened the palace people away, leaving only her and Haoyue in the hall.

The two held hands and sat together on the soft couch.

"Sister, I'm a little worried." Haoyue looked at her with worry on her face.

"I actually don't want to enter the palace at all, nor do I want to be the emperor's concubine."

On weekdays, Mingyue is mostly the one who speaks, Haoyue seldom makes a sound and is quiet.

Only in front of the bright moon, she will be more real.

"I don't want to either. What good is a group of people fighting for a man?" Mingyue sighed, and tightly held Haoyue's hand.

"Sometimes, I always think, if we are not the daughters of the Xing family, how wonderful it would be. At that time, we can find a place where no one knows us, and just the two of us together."

When she said these words, Mingyue's face showed longing.

"Sister, how about...or if we give you a chance, let's go meet the queen?"

After hesitating for a moment, Haoyue asked Mingyue what she meant. The two of them were in the main hall just now, and when Madam Yan and Auntie reported back, they all overheard them.

In Haoyue's opinion, the queen is a very smart person, since she doesn't want the two sisters to enter the palace, maybe she can help them to leave the palace.

"It's useless, my aunt will definitely send someone to watch us." Shaking her head, Mingyue sighed, "If it wasn't for fear of hurting my mother, I really want to..."

Mingyue didn't say the latter, but Haoyue understood what she meant, they were twins, and in this world, no one could understand each other like they did.

Every August [-]th, the palace will be very lively. On this day, a palace banquet will be held in the palace.

Those who can participate in the palace banquet, in addition to the royal family members, are also the ministers of the court, and some concubines in the harem can participate in the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

For the concubines who can participate in the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, this is an excellent opportunity.

After all, now the emperor only dotes on the empress and the empress, and does not go to other people's palaces. They hope to be noticed by the emperor during the palace banquet.

Concubine Xing leaned on the soft couch, looked at the brightly dressed Mingyue and Haoyue, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Looking at you, I can't help thinking that when I was young, in the palace, I always wore the best material and the brightest colors."

When the late emperor was still there, Concubine Xing was the favorite. After all, in the harem, she had the most beautiful appearance and the softest figure.

Not only that, but she is also very 'understanding', the first emperor felt that with the presence of Concubine Xing, all his troubles could be forgotten.

Therefore, no matter what rare objects it was, he would reward Dowager Xing. At that time, in front of Dowager Xing, even the queen dowager at that time would have to back down by three points.

It's a pity that, despite all her thoughts, she was no match for the so-called "division of concubine and concubine". Just because the emperor was recorded in the name of the empress dowager, she became a "concubine".

Because of this, the crown prince fell on his head. Even if his own Rui'er was favored by the former emperor, he could only be a prince in the fief.

Thinking of the past, Concubine Xing's expression turned a little ugly.

Mingyue and Haoyue saw it, and couldn't help but look at each other, with worries on their faces.

Fortunately, in just a moment, Concubine Xing returned to normal, "It's almost time, let's go."

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is a palace banquet in the palace. These are her two nieces. It is the first time for her two nieces to meet the emperor, so naturally they must take good care of it.

Taking the two sisters together, Concubine Xing went to Shoukang Palace. If there were no accidents, she would be able to meet the emperor in Shoukang Palace.

When Concubine Xing arrived, the Empress Dowager hadn't arrived yet, so she brought the two sisters to salute the Empress Dowager.

"The Ai family heard before that you have two nieces here, but now I finally see them, no wonder you are reluctant to let them show up, they are actually two such lovely children."

Looking at the two sisters, the queen mother smiled and said, in her heart, she was a little surprised, she didn't expect that they were twins.

"I made the queen mother laugh, and please forgive me. I should have brought them here long ago to pay my respects to the queen mother. But a few days ago, they just entered the palace, and they always felt a little uncomfortable. Didn't make it."

This statement is of course false, the two sisters have always been in good health, but it is a very low-level mistake to enter the palace without meeting the queen mother.

Concubine Xing didn't think much of it before, but since the queen's words came from Fengyang Palace, she realized more and more that now, unlike in the past, the harem is no longer her world.

"It's okay." After waving her hand, the queen mother looked at the two sisters, "You two, are you all well now?"

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your concern, my daughter and younger sister are already healed." Concubine Xing had already said the apology, and Mingyue brought Haoyue together to salute, with a respectful tone.

"That's good." Nodding, the Empress Dowager looked out of the hall, "Mother Liu, go and see, why haven't the Emperor and Empress come?"

Naturally, the Empress Dowager will be accompanied by the Empress Dowager on the first festival after returning to the palace. It was agreed long ago.

Grandma Liu responded and walked towards the outside of the hall. The Empress Dowager looked back and gave the sisters a seat.

At this moment, the empress' sedan chair had just stopped outside the Shoukang Palace, and the two walked down from the sedan chair carrying each other.

Grandma Liu greeted them outside the palace, and when she saw the two of them, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

She is an old man next to the queen mother, and she coaxed the emperor when she was a child, Zhou Jing hurriedly ordered her to be dismissed.

"Is the queen mother in a hurry?" Zhou Jing asked with a smile as he walked towards the main hall.

"If you go back to the emperor, the queen mother is not in a hurry, but the concubine Xing is here, so the queen mother ordered the old slave to come out to greet her."
