Chapter 72

Just as Qin Qingyan was looking around, the father-in-law in charge of the palace came out.Although the noble ladies and noble ladies in these nobles are dignified, they still have to be respectful in front of the royal family.Led by the father-in-law, they entered the inner courtyard of the palace one by one.

Soon, outside the palace wall, which was bustling just now, is now quiet.The noble ladies and these young ladies walked into the palace one by one, and Su Li followed behind silently.

The emperor's birthday banquet was held in the Chonghua Palace.At this time, the entire Chonghua Palace was already full of princes and ministers.

"Aunt Fang, this is...?" Just after walking to the imperial garden, the maid next to the empress came slowly, and the father-in-law who led the way hurriedly said with a smile.

"Excuse me for disturbing Eunuch Chen, the Empress sent a maidservant to invite Miss Su."

"I see, please, Aunt Fang." Eunuch Chen said with a smile.

"Miss Su, our empress is here to invite you." Aunt Fang, the maid next to the empress, walked up to Su Li and said with a smile.

Queen invites her?Su Li's expression was slightly startled, she had never met the queen, let alone met the queen.What does the Queen want to do by sending someone to invite her in person at this time?If it is said that she wants to win over power for her own son King Qin, then there is no need, because the queen's natal family is General Wei who holds a heavy army.

Although Su Li didn't understand what the queen meant, but in the palace, she had to be careful everywhere.The court lady sent by the empress raised her forehead and said, "Please trouble my aunt to lead the way."

"Don't dare, Miss Su please." The court lady made a gesture of invitation respectfully.

Seeing Su Li being invited away by the empress's people, everyone was jealous again.To be invited personally by the empress, what trick did she, Su Li, use?At this time, the voices of all the women present at this moment.

In the Kunning Palace where the queen lived.Empress Wei was dressed in a phoenix robe, making her graceful and luxurious.Sitting high on the main seat with a smile on his face.Sitting at the bottom was a woman wearing a green imperial concubine dress. This person was none other than Concubine Xiao Shu who was now the favorite in the harem, that is, Princess An Xinyue's biological mother.Sitting next to Concubine Xiao Shu was An Xinyue in pink palace attire.Sitting on the farthest side are the old emperor and some concubines and beauties, and there are several noble ladies sitting behind.

"Your Majesty, Miss Su is here." Not long after, Aunt Fang walked into the hall and bowed respectfully to the empress who was sitting high.

"Miss Su, please come in." The queen smiled and ordered.On the contrary, An Xinyue's face changed slightly when she heard Su Li's name. "Yes, ma'am." Blessing her body, Aunt Fang took orders to retreat.Not long after, Su Li was led into the palace by Aunt Fang.

"My daughter, Su Li, has met the empress, the concubine Xiao Shu, and all the ladies." Su Li greeted everyone sitting here one by one. Although she didn't like it, she had to feel wronged in this place. They say hello.

"Good boy, get up quickly." The queen looked at Su Li lovingly and said softly.He didn't care about Su Li's impossibility to bow down.

"Thank you, Empress."

"Come here, give me a seat." The queen looked at Su Li again and ordered with a smile on her face.Soon some court ladies moved their seats and put them behind Su Li.Su Li thanked her again: "Thank you, Empress."

"I've heard for a long time that Ms. Su is Tiansheng's number one beauty, and seeing her today really deserves her reputation." A woman in her twenties in a purple palace dress said with a smile, but there was a hint of sourness in her tone.This person is Li Meiren, the new favorite of the old emperor.

"Isn't it?" Another older lady answered.She is the old emperor's concubine Hui, who was favored by the old emperor in the early years and gave birth to the eldest prince for the old emperor.But later, because of his old age and fading, he was replaced by Concubine Xiao Shu.Love is no longer what it used to be.If it wasn't for the old emperor who gave birth to the first prince, I'm afraid the old emperor wouldn't even be able to remember who she is?
"I heard from the palace that Miss Su went to Mobei to serve Mrs. Su for three years. It's really a filial piety." The queen looked at Su Li and said lovingly: "It's just that Mobei is desolate, and Miss Su has suffered for these three years. Fortunately, now Everything has come to an end. In the early years, I had some friendship with Madam Su. I just never thought that your mother would... Oh, what a pity." As she spoke, there was a trace of regret in her tone.

"These are what Su Li should do, and let the empress worry about it." Su Li said slowly without being humble and unyielding: "It is the blessing of the mother and Su Li that the mother can be remembered by the empress."

"Good boy. Now that you have returned from Mobei, you will often come to this palace, Kunning Palace, to sit and sit."

"Su Li obeys." Su Li stood up and said respectfully.

Su Li looked down at the queen sitting on the high seat without any trace.Although the queen is no longer favored by the emperor, the old emperor has always respected the queen very much.It may not be that easy for this queen to be able to stand tall among Concubine Xiao Shu and so many other women.

In her memory, the mother and the queen only met once, and there was no friendship.Now the empress asks her to come to her Kunning Palace often, maybe things are not that simple?
But no matter what her purpose is, it's best not to touch her bottom line, otherwise...!
Concubine Xiao Shu, who was sitting on the side, had always been aloof and arrogant, facing everyone sitting, including the empress who was sitting high.And the queen seemed to have gotten used to it, and smiled disapprovingly.

Chatting about some trivial matters lukewarmly, Su Li has always maintained an unyielding and unyielding attitude, making it impossible for people to find fault.On the other hand, An Xinyue kept a dark face when she came in from Su Li. If it wasn't for the presence of the queen, she might have already been unable to bear the jealousy in her heart!
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent someone here." At this moment, a court lady came in to report.

The queen waved her hand and asked people to come in. After a while, the eunuch Chen Gonggong, who was beside the emperor, came in, saluted the queen, and said, "Your Majesty, the emperor has ordered you to move to the Chonghua Hall."
