After Qing Chuan Meng, the emperor chased after him

Chapter 653 Explaining to the Empress Dowager (1)

Kangxi knew that the empress dowager would definitely not let Murong Li'er go to sacrifice to heaven, and it was just as he thought; only the empress dowager asked: "Your Majesty, when will we arrange to sacrifice to heaven?"

"Return to the queen's mother, the fifteenth day of next month."

"Oh, that's the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month. It's the day of the Moon Festival. The emperor chose it well. All the concubines in the harem will start to show their crafts again during the Ghost Festival. Serve food, and moon-watching snacks; that night we spent the night under the moonlight." The Empress Dowager said.

Kangxi smiled: "Yes, the same is true for the Moon Festival every year."

The empress dowager ordered the maid beside her to bring up a bowl of dim sum, and said with a smile: "This is the white fungus soup that the Ai family asked the imperial dining room to make. Your majesty, taste it; does it taste like it?"

Kangxi smiled and took it. The temperature of the soup was just right. He drank it, and it tasted extremely delicious; it was very clear and quenched his thirst. "It's delicious."

The empress dowager was very happy when she heard that, and said with a smile: "Yes, the Ai family plans to cook this white fungus soup for the concubines in the harem and the emperor on Yuexi Festival."

"Emperor Niang has a heart. It is good to leave these matters to the concubines in the harem. You should rest well, old man."

As soon as this remark came out, the Empress Dowager was very happy. Kangxi had fallen into her scheme, so she just wanted to say: "Your Majesty, I want Concubine Concubine to make this white fungus soup, so I can try it on for the concubines in the harem." , I don't know if it's okay?"

Kangxi knew right away that she was just looking for something to do, mainly to prevent Murong Li'er from going to sacrifice to heaven.He knew that it was more difficult to persuade these elders than himself; he just smiled slightly; he didn't speak.He knows it's useless to talk too much!

The empress dowager also knew in her heart that the emperor definitely wanted Murong Li'er to sacrifice to heaven, but Kangxi did not speak to prove that he disagreed.She had to think of a way to let Murong Li'er stay in the harem on the day of the Ghost Festival, and not let the rules of the Qing Dynasty be broken because of this woman!

Seeing that Kangxi had left, she ordered someone to inform the queen and call the queen to Jingxiu Palace; when the queen saw the empress dowager, the joy on her face appeared; "The concubine sees the queen mother."

"Well, get up."

"Thank you, Huangeriang." The queen stood up, and said with a smile, "I don't know why Huangerniang notified my concubine to come over?"

The Empress Dowager asked the Empress to sit beside her, looked at the hot sky outside the door, and said: "The Emperor just came to Jingxiu Palace, and he told the Ai family that he will take Concubine Concubine to sacrifice to heaven on the Zhongyuan Festival next month."

The queen was a little surprised when she heard it, but she couldn't express her surprise in front of the empress dowager, feeling extremely uncomfortable in her heart; on the surface, it was still the same as before: "Emperor Niang, there has never been a rule that concubines can accompany the emperor to sacrifice to heaven. ?”

The Empress Dowager nodded: "Yes, no." She couldn't tell that the Empress Dowager said this intentionally, and the Empress thought that the Empress Dowager agreed; she was a little unhappy!
The empress dowager glanced at the empress: "Even if the emperor wants to bring his concubine, he must also bring the empress; how can he bring a small concubine. Besides, there has never been such a regulation! Empress, it seems that we have to find a way, Let Concubine Cong stay in the harem."

The queen felt the same, except for her own selfishness, there was no exception to the rule; "I don't know what the empress's plan is?"

The empress dowager didn't know whether to speak or not, she didn't have many ideas, so she asked the empress to discuss it; the empress was a little happy when she knew what the empress dowager thought, as long as the empress dowager and her were on the front line.

She used to have an average relationship with the empress dowager, but since the empress dowager passed away, she has gotten a little closer!
