Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 276 Lake Encounter (2 more)
Since coming to the Summer Resort, Wanxi has always stayed in the small courtyard where the girls live, and tried to live as secluded as possible, except to visit Yuqin at noon or at night.

It's just because she is the woman next to the empress, and the empress is serving the empress dowager at this time, and there is a pure concubine living beside her.

There are right and wrong when there are many people.

But even though she was extremely careful, she still couldn't avoid people's eyes.

Just because the birds have to be walked every day, she has to come out once a day anyway.This day, she carried the birdcage to the lakeside, and walked around the lake embankment in the direction of "Qushui Hexiang".A flat boat paddled quietly across the lake, and it was the empress dowager, accompanied by the empress and concubine Chun, on a lake tour.

When the birds came to the natural landscape, they couldn't help chirping.The birds chirped against the color of the water, and they chirped lightly and melodiously, which was very pleasant.

The empress dowager on the boat heard it too, and couldn't help but look towards the shore.

Seeing that it was a court lady carrying the bird cage, she couldn't help asking: "It was originally the job of the eunuch to carry the bird cage. Why is there a second-class woman carrying the bird cage over there? This is against the rules."

Concubine Chun also saw it from a distance, and smiled at the queen mother: "Back to the queen mother, that should be the woman next to the master and empress."

The queen frowned slightly, thought for a while, then bowed and said with a smile: "Concubine Chun's eyes are sharp, and my minister has not noticed it just now. The second-class women in this palace are all dressed in the same color, and this minister is also the same. His eyes are so clumsy that he doesn't even notice the woman beside him."

The Empress Dowager breathed out leisurely: "For a man who is a wife, it's better to be blind. If there are hooks in the eyes all the time, and you can always catch the shortcomings of your husband, how can there be harmony between husband and wife?"

The queen smiled, and hurriedly saluted again: "Thank you for your teaching."

Concubine Chun was a little embarrassed, so she could only laugh along with embarrassment.

The queen said softly: "What Ernie said was that the eunuchs used to carry cages and frame birds. It's just that this pair of birds is different from the others. They are gifts from the emperor. They just came to Rehe these days, and the road is a bit bumpy. Scared, combined with acclimatization, these days are not very good."

"Your Majesty's kindness, I should use 1 hearts to carefully repay it. Therefore, I thought that if I hand it over to the eunuch, I will inevitably be clumsy. I don't want to give it to a smart woman to take care of me." Live up to the emperor."

The empress dowager also noticed the interest: "Oh? The emperor gave it to you? It's even more rare that you praise a woman so much. Even I can't help but want to see what kind of bird and what kind of person this is. "

The Empress Dowager didn't wait for the Queen's answer, so she ordered directly: "Go to the shore. Ask the woman with the cage on the shore to come up and show me."
.
Wanxi boarded the boat, already feeling uneasy.

Regarding the empress dowager, she also heard some old stories from sister Lu about the empress dowager.It is said that the empress dowager doesn't like to see women with Han surnames, so the imperial concubine never takes the slightest attention in front of the empress dowager.When they were still in Qiandi, the three Fujins went to pay their respects to the queen mother, but the queen mother only talked to the queen and concubine Xian who were from a wealthy Manchurian family, but ignored the noble concubine.

Even the old custom of the daughter-in-law lighting a cigarette for her mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager did not even allow the noble concubine to touch the cigarette pouch.Just say that the imperial concubine is a woman with a Han surname, so you can't learn it.In fact, the imperial concubine has already learned it clearly in secret, but the empress dowager didn't give it a chance.Or even the daughter-in-law who has never even lit a cigarette, the mother-in-law doesn't even recognize it in her heart.

The imperial concubine's illness over the years is not unrelated to the empress dowager's consistent cold reception.

Wanxi took a careful breath and stepped forward to salute.

The queen mother quietly looked at Wanxi in front of her, and lightly knocked on the cigarette pouch: "The rules are not messed up, and she is a neat bannerman girl. What is your family, Hara (full surname)?"
