The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 223
The self-proclaimed concubine, Boqing, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The queen mother, the princess, and the concubine looked at Boqing in doubt, doubts were written all over their faces, but they didn't immediately ask her about her situation.

The concubine wisely didn't ask about the things on the way, but said considerately: "Queen Mother, it's been a hard journey, and this concubine will send you back to the palace to rest."

The Empress Dowager glanced at Bo Qing lightly, nodded and said wearily: "That's fine, there is no one around Ai's family at this time, so Concubine Yi can take care of Ai's family to rest."

Concubine Yi, flirtatiously moved, it was Mu Zhaoming who said that for the sake of her husband's imperial career, she gave up the position of concubine, the woman most admired and loved by the emperor, and the birth mother of the eldest prince.

The queen mother turned her head and said to the princess: "Shuang'er, you have worked hard all the way, go back and rest well, here is your concubine mother." She raised her hand to straighten her messy bun, and left with the hands of Concubine Yi.

Princess Shuang'er was cold, and gave Bo Qing a sympathetic look, then turned and left, but she didn't take the opportunity to make trouble, leaving Bo Qing alone to kneel in the long and boundless passage.

On the palace road, the palace people came and went, wanting to cast curious glances at Boqing from time to time, and discuss in a low voice.From time to time, concubines pass by, and when going back and forth, they also cast curious eyes on Boqing, thinking that this is the only way to the Palace of Compassion.

All the fluffy feelings were ignored, and she knelt quietly on the ground. That feeling seemed to return to the cautious mood of entering the palace for the first time after rebirth. She couldn't help but secretly swear that this was the last time she had to face the imperial power. Bow your head, and when her influence is established, she will no longer kneel down and salute to anyone.

Time passed neither fast nor slow, and I didn't know how long I knelt on my knees. I only knew that I was getting longer under the sun. Knowing how he would feel, maybe he already knew about her situation and was trying to find a way to save himself.

When the afterglow of the sun left a rosy glow on the horizon, a group of guards of honor even more grand than the concubines and concubines just now, the inner eunuch steadily carried the walking chariot, and walked from the front without rushing, without stopping at all. Passing by, I heard friends from the palace preaching loudly: "The empress is here!"

Empress Empress, Xiao Yu's mother, had a slight twitch in her heart.

Still keeping the original posture motionless, in this deep palace, no matter who wants to save her, it is not easy, so she chooses to wait.

About two quarters of an hour later, a court lady trotted over from the front and said, "The Empress Dowager wants to see you, please accompany your slaves to the Palace of Compassion."

Bo Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Because Lei had been kneeling for too long, his legs were already numb, as if there were countless ants biting him. When he stood up, he had some difficulty. His legs were so soft that he almost couldn't stand still. He ignored the discomfort of his legs. He said lightly: "Sister, please lead the way." The palace maid dared not speak, and led her along the way.

In the Palace of Compassion and Ning, Bo Qing saw that after grooming, she had recovered her graceful appearance and was closing her eyes to rest her mind. The former Concubine Yi, next to Concubine Yi was dressed like a lotus in the wind, the princess named Shuang'er, next to her There is also a beautiful young woman who is younger than Concubine Yi, wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe and a nine-tailed phoenix crown, with a peaceful smile on her lips, she must be the empress.

Under the guidance of the court lady, Boqing knelt on the ground quietly after seeing the ceremony one by one, with neither sad nor happy, neither worry nor worry, neither rush nor rash... her whole body exuded the rare calmness, stability and enthusiasm of ordinary women. calm down.

The queen mother's doubtful voice rang in Boqing's ears: "You have always called yourself a concubine, but I don't know which courtier's family member you are in."

Bo Qing's heart froze. She seemed to have never paid attention to Mu Zhaoming's current official position and rank, so she could only say indifferently: "Back to the Queen Mother, my concubine Mu Bo."

The Empress Dowager, Princess Shuang'er, and Concubine Yi could not help but look at Boqing in shock, but the empress only gave a faint glance without much surprise on her face.

The Queen Mother couldn't help looking at the woman in front of her again. She was not very old, at most fourteen or fifteen years old, her face was calm and indifferent beyond her age, and her voice was not as clear as an ordinary woman's, but a slightly hoarse and calm .The bright red dress, against the delicate face, should be flamboyant and gorgeous, but there is nothing else on the head except for a few simple black jade hairpins, which gives people a different kind of low-key luxury.

Thinking of the calm look she had on the carriage, looking at the sword on her neck, thinking of those highly skilled guards, and her attitude of boldly pleading guilty just now, and her view of ruthlessness, the Queen Mother has a new calculation in her heart.

Princess Shuang'er couldn't help but said: "Mu Bo, among the officials of Xiaohe Kingdom, there is only one official with the surname Mu, and that is the Lord Zhongshu Ling who suddenly landed in the air, so you are not Fengdu The rumors over there..."

The beauty is a disaster, the four words were not uttered, but everyone understood the meaning of the words.

Zhongshu Ling raised his head in surprise. He only knew that Mu Zhaoming had already entered the imperial court, but he never expected that he would become a second-rank official. Only under the prime minister.

Seeing Bo Qing's surprised expression, the queen mother also flashed a trace of surprise in her eyes and said: "Don't you know what your husband's official position is?"

Boqing lowered her head and said: "Back to the Queen Mother, my concubines don't care about these things, I just hope that my husband is safe and healthy." For a while, everyone couldn't help but be quiet.

Concubine Yi said with a smile: "Queen Dowager, all women want their husbands to serve the court, make contributions, and make a difference. This is the first time I see a woman who only hopes that her husband is safe and healthy, instead of being appointed as a marquis." Boqing doesn't want Mu Zhaoming to serve the court, but only stays with her, which is really a disaster for a beauty.

Boqing sneered in her heart, those rumors were indeed related to Runcheng, she gently drooped her long eyelashes, and said in an unhurried voice: "Only if my husband is safe and healthy, can I do my best to serve the court and live up to the emperor's grace. It's just a woman's opinion." The implication is that although she doesn't care about the size of her husband's official position, it doesn't mean that she will prevent him from serving the court.

Peace, is to hope that your husband's life will be safe;

To be healthy is to hope that your husband will be in good health;

Only in this way without any worries, can my husband serve the court wholeheartedly, make contributions, and live up to the grace of the emperor.

Boqing answered every detail, and the imperial concubine looked at Boqing's gaze, and couldn't help but explore a little more. The empress gently slid the lid of the cup. The emperor has already told everyone that she is not just a troublesome woman who only knows to pester her husband.

The queen mother smiled and said: "You have the same thoughts as Aijia, and Aijia only hopes that the emperor is safe and healthy."
