Concubine's Handbook of Good Life in Ancient Times

Chapter 37

Sitting on the lower head of Concubine Xian, Shu Ning put her hands on her knees.

"Thank you madam."

Then she waited for the concubines who were lower than her to visit her, and gave them a meeting gift.Although the meeting gifts given by Shu Ning were not worth much, they were exquisite and rare, and they were not rude at all.

"Sister Jiafei has just entered the palace, so don't bully her, understand?"

The queen spoke softly to the concubines sitting there, her voice was not loud, but none of the concubines present dared to underestimate them and immediately stood up.

"Yes~" The concubines who originally wanted to give Shu Ning power while the Empress was away suddenly died down.

"Okay, it's time to greet the Empress Dowager."

The queen stood up and walked out first, followed by Concubine Xian and Concubine De, then Shuning and several concubines of the second rank, and then several of the nine concubines. A change of clothes below the quality is not even qualified to greet the queen, let alone greet the queen mother.

Every [-]th day in the palace, the queen will bring all the concubines to greet the queen mother, and then once every three days to greet the queen, and the concubines will arrange the time when they don't need to greet the queen.

When they arrived at Quanfu Palace, Shuning cheered up.Following Concubine Xian and Concubine De into the main hall, the old Empress Dowager was already sitting inside, chatting with a nun, she stopped when she saw everyone coming in.

After greeting everyone together, Shu Ning came out alone to greet the Empress Dowager.

"The concubine joins the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is blessed and safe."

"Good boy, get up quickly."

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand towards Shuning, and asked the nuns beside her to help her.

This surprised the concubines again, the Empress Dowager was so kind to this new lady who entered the palace.Everyone knows that the queen mother doesn't like concubines, even her own son's concubine, but today all the concubines saw the always serious queen mother smiling at a concubine, isn't that shocking enough?
"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Shu Ning was standing up, just about to go back to her own seat and sit down when she saw the Queen Mother waving at her.

"Miss?"

Shuning walked over suspiciously.This was the first time she saw the Queen Mother, and unexpectedly, the Queen Mother was not vicious, but rather kind.And it's not like the empress dowager seen on TV in the previous life, she is not covered in gorgeous emeralds, but in ordinary clothes, with a jade-carved phoenix hairpin on her head, and a ruby ​​bracelet inlaid with silk on her back.

"Girl, I promised your mother to take good care of you. If anyone dares to bully you, just come and tell the old woman that I will let the emperor punish her. Do you hear me?"

The last sentence was obviously addressed to the concubines, as for the Empress Dowager, she believed that she would not do anything to Shu Ning.On the contrary, she will protect Shuning for the sake of the prince.

"Yes~" I was threatened by the two biggest bosses in the harem twice in a row today, and all the concubines were in a bad mood.They envy and hate Shuning, why are they not the ones who are taken care of by the Queen and Queen Mother.

The queen and the queen mother sat at the top, and they could see the expressions of the concubines at a glance. They could somewhat guess what was going on in their hearts, but the two couldn't explain because they didn't like them.

The mother of the future prince must not be narrow-minded and humble.It's not that the two deliberately looked down on them, but that the children born with their education, let alone be princes, can't even be good princes, and will only bring trouble to Da Xia.For the prince, a well-bred mother is more important than a well-born but power-hungry mother.It can be said that apart from the newly entered concubine Jia, the other concubines present valued themselves and their rights more than their children.

"Thank you, my concubine."

How could Shuning not know that this was the empress dowager's protection of her. With her, even the empress would not dare to bully her in the palace. Shuning felt that there was nothing better than this.

"Good boy, I'm sure you won't get used to it when you first enter the palace, but you'll get better with time."

After the queen mother patted Shu Ning, seeing her childish face, the queen mother really wanted to say "don't blame me" to her.She knows the life in the palace better than anyone else, but for the sake of Da Xia and the emperor, she personally pushed a girl who could have found a good husband into this fire pit called the palace.

"Please rest assured, my concubine, I know how to live well."

Shu Ning showed a sincere smile. She didn't think there was anything to complain about entering the palace. The only regret was that she couldn't see her family. But she would try her best to serve the emperor well and ask him for an amnesty. At least during the holidays, she could let her family Enter the palace to see yourself.

Even if we meet once a year, Shuning prayed a little in her heart.

"Well, I just like a generous girl like you. Aunt Hua, take out the things I asked you to prepare."

The queen mother said to the old mother beside her.

"Yes."
