Chapter 80

After the Queen's Conferment Ceremony, the Queen moved into Jingren Palace, and the concubines also began to go to pay their respects every day at Mao.

No matter how tired Xiao Man is at night, he has to get up to pay his respects.Don't look at the generosity of Queen Wang, but the more generous a woman is, the more difficult it is to mess with.What's more, if you don't want others to catch you, you have to make the rules yourself.

Seeing Xiaoman struggling to get up, there are still blue shadows in his eyes.Emperor Zhengkang felt distressed and said: "My concubine, it is understandable not to go to pay her respects after serving the bed. Just ask someone to report to the queen. The queen never cares about these things, so don't worry."

Emperor Zhengkang trusted the queen's generosity so much, so Xiaoman couldn't take it lightly.She had to do her best so that she could speak in front of the emperor in case something happened in the future.

It's not that she doesn't trust the behavior of the queen, it's just that it's not easy for a woman to come here without incident in the deep palace for so many years and leave a good impression on the emperor.She'd better not be idle and challenge the queen's dignity. Isn't it just getting up early, and it's not about killing people.

Xiaoman persisted and struggled, "Your Majesty, it is just right for a concubine to pay her respects to the empress in the palace as a concubine. How can she be proud of being favored? Besides, the concubine is so arrogant not long after the empress established the rules. Isn't it a pity for the empress who has always been so arrogant?" care."

Xiaoman wanted to show his attitude, and he also praised Queen Wang by the way.

Seeing that Xiaoman was so determined, Emperor Zhengkang didn't say any more.He remembered chatting with Xiaoman before Lihou, and Xiaoman said that he would sleep more while he could sleep in, and he would wake up early to say hello later.He also laughed at her childish nature. Now, seeing her so tired and yet so sensible made him feel a little distressed.

However, the rules have always been like this, the etiquette of wives and concubines cannot be broken, he really can't just open his mouth and avoid Xiao Man's greetings.After all, even if it's not for the sake of saving face for the queen and keeping the harem safe, even if it's for Xiao Man to live a happy life, she shouldn't be pushed to the forefront.

After sending the emperor away, Xiaoman immediately packed up and went to Jingren Palace.She doesn't like tidying up the most on weekdays, and likes simplicity.In her eyes, the clothes and jewelry these days, no matter how simple they look, are cumbersome enough.

However, now I have to pay my respects every day, so naturally I still have to tidy up, clothes, jewelry, grooming, everything must not be degraded, otherwise, it is also disrespectful to the queen.

By the time Xiaoman arrived at Jingren Palace, it was already late.Although only nobles of the fifth rank and above are eligible to pay the queen's daily greetings, there are quite a few people in the main hall.

The sisters were smiling slightly, seemingly talking intimately.

She hurriedly stepped forward to give the queen a half-kowtow, "Empress, my concubine came to pay my respects. The queen is blessed."

Fortunately, although Xiao Man arrived late, fortunately, he was not later than Concubine Zhen.Her mortal enemy, Concubine Li, had already entered the cold palace, so naturally no one satirized her face to face.

After Xiao Man greeted her, she sat in the seat that belonged to her.She knew that there were several eyes looking at her several times.However, she didn't raise her head, she just quietly drank tea from a teacup.No matter who it is, just ignore it.This way, although you can't make friends, it also saves a lot of trouble.

Zhou Zhaorong smiled at Xiaoman, "My sister is a tea lover."

Xiaoman couldn't pretend anymore, so she raised her head and smiled, "Sister, don't laugh at me, I'm a rough person, I can't even tell what kind of tea is, and I always feel that tea is a bit bitter and I don't like drinking it. I just think that the Queen The tea here, Empress, is a bit sweet, so I just took a few sips."

Zhou Zhaorong covered her mouth with a smile, "If my sister is a rough person, I will be even worse. I don't usually like to drink tea, but I drink more scented tea."

The two chatted a few words around how to make scented tea.Fortunately, Zhou Zhaorong is a person who can answer anything, otherwise, it would be embarrassing to sit still.

Although Zhou Zhaorong herself is a concubine's daughter and her mother came from a humble background, she is a lady of every family after all.In my heart, I really look down on a concubine like Xiaoman who was born as a court lady.However, this woman is really skilled, and she has been promoted to the third grade of Wanyi in less than a year, which should not be underestimated.

No matter how much she disliked Xiao Man in her heart, she couldn't show it on her face, and she had to let this woman go, which really made people feel unhappy.However, who made her unable to earn the emperor's favor, even if she had a prince, she had to bow her head.

It's no wonder that she wanted to be the queen mother so much, she had been aggrieved for a long time.

Sitting like this for two quarters of an hour, all the concubines couldn't stop chattering, and Concubine Zhen came late.But everyone is already familiar with it, from the first day.

Although Queen Wang is an empress, Concubine Zhen's natal family is too powerful, and she is favored by the emperor herself.It's strange that this young and favored concubine can obediently pay respects to the old and frail queen.

Xiao Man thought to himself, although the emperor followed the rules, Concubine Zhen Gui also let him get used to it.If the queen can't hold down Concubine Zhen, there will be a lot of trouble in the harem.

Fortunately, it's none of her business, she just needs to be a good concubine.
