Return after the phoenix falls

Chapter 87 The Empress Dowager Chitose (2)
So everyone got up, but they couldn't see the Queen Mother, it was only covered by a curtain and countless bead curtains, and they could only vaguely see a vague figure. Everyone thought that it should be the Queen Mother.

Since the death of the first emperor, the queen mother rarely showed her face in front of the concubines in the harem. Even the current queen has never seen what the queen mother looks like, but the legend of the queen mother has spread all over the world. She defended most of Anguo's country!

In front of such legendary women and beauties, the harem concubines are all respectful!After all, there is no gap between the emperor and the queen mother, and the relationship between mother and child is very good. If you want to be presumptuous in front of the queen mother, wouldn't it make you feel uncomfortable?

As a queen, it is natural to set an example, so she smiled and said to the queen mother: "Queen mother, the concubines and concubines have come to greet you. You have just returned to the palace, and you must have been exhausted. I am bothering you today."

"Sit down." Hearing this, all the concubines sat down one by one. The queen mother swept her eyes slightly and continued: "Ai's family has just returned to the palace. Although I am still a little tired, I am very relieved to see the peaceful weather in the harem. This is due to the queen's good governance, Wei Xian, go and get the Buddhist beads that I got from presiding on Shengqing Mountain, and give it to the queen."

Aunt Wei who was standing by the side heard the words and went to the inner hall. After a while, she was holding a tray with a string of crystal-clear beads on it. The empress respectfully accepted it and handed it to Su'er next to her. thank you.

"Since Empress Zhenjia passed away, empress, everything in the harem is really hard for you."

The queen smiled shyly and said: "It is the concubine's duty to share the worries of the emperor and the empress dowager. How can it be said that it is hard to say that it is a blessing for the concubine to be sympathetic to the empress dowager."

This sentence implied that the queen's own succession was the queen mother's will, and warned those restless concubines that when the queen mother came back, her backing was even bigger.

The Empress Dowager didn't speak when she heard this, she just smiled, and then she thought of something, and asked, "Where is Concubine Wan? Is Concubine Wan here?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Wan lowered her head and stood up, then knelt down: "Report to the Queen Mother, the concubine is here."

"Get up quickly, don't kneel, the Ai family knows that the emperor has wronged you, but it's just a jade plate, so they lost their temper so much that they disqualified you from the position of imperial concubine. Hey, it's just that the Ai family already has a heart for this harem matter." It's powerless, the emperor's decision is not so easy to change, but Aijia will definitely compensate you in the future."

Concubine Wan stood up, with tears in her eyes, and said sadly: "The queen mother remembers the concubine, and the concubine will die without regret. From now on, the concubine will definitely come to serve the queen mother from time to time!"

"I don't need to serve you. The Ai family is old and likes to be quiet. Looking at your young and beautiful faces, I always like to look back at the past. I think back then... hey, let's not talk so much."

Hearing these words, everyone was speechless, Aunt Wei advised from the side: "Queen Mother, why do you think of the past on such a happy day? It's the time of reunion, you should be happy."

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager seemed to realize it too, and said with a smile: "You are still right, the Ai family shouldn't have said such things, and disturbed the ears of you young people in vain."

"Why? The Queen Mother's teaching is very important to concubines. Queen Mother, this is the Lengyu that the concubines have brought with them since they were young. Now it's hot weather. The Queen Mother may not be used to it. Just take this jade with you , you can cool off and relieve the heat." The person who spoke was Concubine Wan, and she was holding a crystal clear round bead in her hand at this time, depending on the situation, it was very valuable!
"Is there such a treasured jade? It's a pity that my family is old and my body is afraid of the cold. Such cold words are really not suitable for my old man. You should take this jade back and use it yourself. Concubine Wan's heart is mourned."

As soon as this statement came out, the hearts of all the concubines changed from jealousy to secret joy. Who wouldn't want to sell well in front of the Queen Mother?Concubine Wan's cold jade couldn't escape the eyes of the Queen Mother, so she immediately refused on the grounds of her body. Although Concubine Wan's face was not good-looking, she still forced a smile: "What the Queen Mother said is that the concubine didn't think carefully."

After Concubine Wan finished speaking, she sat down slowly. At this moment, Mu Wan got up and said: "The Queen Mother, the concubine is not talented. When I heard that the Queen Mother returned to the palace, I made this little kit, which can dispel mosquitoes and improve energy. As a result, I hope the Empress Dowager will not dislike the concubine's intentions."

There was no sound at all, they never imagined that after Concubine Wan was frustrated, there would be someone offering a gift. At that time, all eyes would be on Mu Wan, who was still standing neither humble nor overbearing, with a sad smile.

"I'm interested, this is... Concubine Zhaogui, it's the first time Ai's family sees you, and you are such a sensible and pleasant child, Wei Xian, quickly show the kit to Ai's family."

What the queen mother said made everyone cover their mouths and laugh, and Concubine Wan at the side turned pale and looked at Mu Wan with resentment, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

Mu Wan handed the kit to Aunt Wei respectfully, and Aunt Wei took it away with a smile, and walked up to the Empress Dowager, and when she was about to present it to the Empress Dowager, a shout outside Guanju Palace made all the concubines happy, and they tidied up their appearances and stood in front of them. get up.

It turned out to be "The emperor is here-"
