Royal Little Fortune

Chapter 251 The Empress Dowager's Plan

In front of everyone, she had to observe the etiquette in the palace, and only when she was alone with the empress dowager did she not have to abide by the etiquette.

"Ruo Ruo is here, come and sit next to Ai's family." Seeing Ya Ruo coming in, the Empress Dowager felt her eyes light up.

It is said that women's colleges have changed in the eighteenth year. Their family, Yaruo, is really getting better and better. Compared with the first time they met, they have lost a lot of weight, and they look a little slimmer. As for the small face Yes, it is getting more and more delicate, more and more white and tender, and she can't help but want to reach out and squeeze it.

Compared with the attire of the concubines in the palace today, Ya Ruo's attire is elegant yet cute, suitable for her age, and the Empress Dowager feels comfortable seeing her.

Seeing her aunt calling her to sit down, Ya Ruo showed a smile on her face, saluted all the concubines in the hall, and then went over.

The concubines who came to accompany the Queen Mother today are all of high status in the palace. Concubine Dolan, Concubine Hui Baoleer, Concubine Shun and Concubine Jing had half a month before their confinement expired, and now they are also out. It seems that her family's queen mother and aunt gave Grace.

In addition, Concubine Ke Shi is also there. She is the only Han concubine in the palace, and she is not from the Han army. I heard that the emperor married her for political reasons, to win over the Han officials, so... she is very low-key. , almost never leave the Palace of Yanxi Palace where I live, the presence in the palace is really low, the appearance can only be considered delicate, not outstanding, the figure is petite and exquisite, compared with the surrounding concubines, she looks like a child who has not grown up Children are average.

In addition to these five high-status concubines, Ning Guiren, who gave birth to the second elder brother for the emperor, and Concubine Kang, the biological mother of the third elder brother, were also there.

Ning Guiren used to be a court lady with a low status. It was not long before she was promoted to nobleman by the Queen Mother. When she appeared on such an occasion for the first time, she seemed a little uneasy and looked timid with her head down.

As for Concubine Kang, sitting there in a daze, she looked haggard.

According to the Queen Mother's instructions, Ya Ruo sat in the empty seat on the left side of the Queen Mother, which was specially ordered by the Queen Mother to be reserved for her.The rest of the people sat down, not in the same place as them.

"I haven't seen you for a while, but my little aunt seems to have grown up a bit." The noble concubine Dolan said with a smile.The implication is that Ya Ruo is just a little girl.

Although Ya Ruo is her aunt and the noble daughter of Horqin, she has not been conferred and has no status, but she is always superior to others in the palace. Both the emperor and the queen mother treat Ya Ruo very well.

Now, she has surpassed her, the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, and sat next to the Queen Mother, which made Dolan very angry.

The queen mother laughed when she heard the words: "We Yaruo have indeed grown up a bit. Our Horqin women, especially our branch, are all tall. Among the women, they are simply outstanding. The Ai family has always I feel that as a woman, it is not very good to be too tall, but the little bird is more affectionate, and our Yaruo, like her mother, not only looks good, but also has a suitable stature."

The Empress Dowager praised Ya Ruo a lot, and there was a sense of pride in my family as a young girl.

Everyone at the scene was slightly taken aback after hearing this, everyone could feel the Queen Mother's love for Ya Ruo from the bottom of their hearts, and four of the concubines present were from the Queen Mother's natal family. Some are harsh, and some make them unhappy.

"What the Empress Dowager said is very true. Sister Yaruo is indeed the most beautiful among our Horqin noble daughters." Concubine Shun said with a smile, and looked at Yaruo with a self-conscious smile.

Ya Ruo already knew that this clan elder sister was not an easy-going lamp, and she had been so unhappy before, and she followed Meng Guqing to murder Concubine Kang and Third Elder Brother, thought she was a fool, didn't she know anything?

Ya Ruo felt that although Meng Guqing was ruthless, she was not considered resourceful, and Concubine Shun seemed harmless, but she had a bad stomach. She didn't like such a person even more, but...who wouldn't pretend to be, it was just whitewashing the peace.

Ya Ruo smiled back and said nothing.

Concubine Shun thought that Ya Ruo would disdain her very much. After all... In her opinion, Ya Ruo was a spoiled girl spoiled by the Queen Mother. She smiled, which made her a little worried.

"The Ai family asked you to come here today because there is a distinguished guest who wants to meet you. The Ai family's ugly words come first, and none of you are allowed to be arrogant and rude in front of her, and you are not allowed to bully her, so as not to scare others, understand? "The queen mother glanced at everyone and exhorted very seriously.

Everyone knew that the Empress Dowager called them here to meet Kong Sizhen, the daughter of King Dingnan, even if it was the Queen of Zhonglie, who the Qing Dynasty needed to win over, it didn't have to be so.

Ya Ruo has been with the queen mother for so long, and she still knows her aunt very well. Thinking of the emotion on the queen mother's face when she talked about the snobbery and wealth behind Kong Sizhen a few days ago, she can't help guessing in her heart whether her aunt is ...Do you want to force someone into the emperor's arms again?

At this moment, Ya Ruo is not the only one who has this idea, almost all the people present have such an idea in their hearts.

The empress dowager was afraid that she wanted the emperor to marry that Kong Sizhen.

Dolan's heart was extremely heavy.

After entering the palace for more than a month, they didn't even have the chance to be alone with the emperor, let alone serve as the emperor's wife.

But now, the empress dowager's aunt had to send someone to the emperor, and she felt very uncomfortable.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager looked at Su Mo'er who was standing on the side, and asked with a smile: "Su Mo'er, yesterday, the one who was sleeping in the Qianqing Palace is often in Niu Hulu's family, have you come?"

"Qi Empress Dowager, the young master is often sent back to Qixiang Palace after the third watch. It's still early now, so I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while before coming." Su Mo'er hurriedly reported.

After the Queen Mother heard this, she didn't say anything, but Concubine Jing, who was always impatient and very unhappy, couldn't help but stood up and said, "Aunt Queen Mother, that Niu Hulu clan is just a small permanent presence, even if she The son is going to bed, according to the rules of the palace, he should come here early to pay your respects to the old man, there is no reason to ask the queen mother to wait."

The queen mother smiled lightly when she heard the words, and Su Mo'er at the side knew what her master meant, so she blessed herself and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, according to the rules in the palace, a concubine who is going to bed for the first time needs to be served early the next morning. Go to the Queen's Palace to kneel down and pay respects, but you don't need to come to the Empress Dowager, because the Empress wants to see that person who is always there, so she sent someone to summon her."

After hearing this, Concubine Jing was stunned. To be honest, she knew very little about the palace rules of Lao Shizi, so she couldn't bear to read them at all.
