wedding dress

Chapter 263

The Empress Dowager Shengci looked up slightly, then raised her hands.

Caigu said to the outside: "The empress dowager has rested, please go back."

Of course the palace people outside conveyed Caigu's words, and Xiaodong continued with his movements.

But the outside didn't calm down as expected, instead the voice of the palace servants became urgent: "Imperial Concubine, Empress Imperial Concubine, Empress Dowager..."

Concubine Ming went straight in like this, the palace people outside did not dare to stop her.

Xiaodong was about to stand up, when Empress Dowager Shengci put her hands on her knees.

Xiaodong sat back again.

Concubine Ming was wearing a green silk dress, which was wrinkled, as if she hadn't changed her clothes for a few days——

In fact, it should have not been changed for several days.Now everyone in the palace has changed into filial piety clothes, but Ming Guifei is not.Even if she hides in the house and does not go out, her clothes should be changed.

Concubine Ming's face turned pale, and she knelt down straight in front of the Empress Dowager Shengci.Xiao Dong knelt and sat next to the Empress Dowager Shengci, this time she truly received the great gift from Concubine Ming.

"What's wrong with the noble concubine?" The Empress Dowager Shengci asked lightly, "How can you do such a great gift?"

Yes, kneeling on both knees, usually the younger generation, and the relatives are more likely to be kind to the Empress Dowager Shengci. The concubines, concubines and concubines are usually blessed bodies, also known as blessings.

"Empress Dowager..." Before the imperial concubine could speak, tears flowed down her face.Although emaciated and aged, the noble concubine still looks charming and charming, especially moving.

It's a pity that the people in the room may not appreciate her being so charming.

"Please help the Empress Dowager..." The noble concubine kowtowed heavily, even though there was a thick blanket on the ground, the muffled noises were no joke.

"Your concubine is serious. If you are sick, you should ask the imperial doctor to ask for your pulse. What are you doing here?"

She obviously wasn't sick.

Things before and after Xiaodong's union——

No need to ask, Concubine Ming must have been involved in the Third Prince's matter.

Even if she wasn't the mastermind, she must have been suspected, or she had contributed to it at all.

Didn't the fifth princess say it before?Concubine Ming has always dreamed of being a queen mother.

Who can be the Queen Mother?

Like the Empress Dowager Shengde, she was the empress of the former emperor. Although she had no children, the new emperor wanted to respect her as a queen mother and put her before his biological mother.

Like the Empress Dowager Shengci, she was the emperor's biological mother. Although she came from a humble background and had no power or power, she was only a fifth-rank Zhaoyi until the death of the first emperor. But her son became the emperor, and she was the empress dowager.

But Concubine Ming doesn't take both.

She was neither a queen nor wanted to be the emperor's son, so the conditions did not match.

She wanted to be the queen mother, so she had to find another way to create conditions for herself.For example, if the third prince died, wouldn't it be conditional for her to take a young prince under her name?
There is another condition, that is, the emperor hangs up.Queen Mother, after the death of her husband, she is called Queen Mother.

Concubine Ming looks very pitiful, but Xiaodong doesn't sympathize with her.

She had great ambitions, and she still had some unclear relationship with Yao Qingyuan's death back then. Even for her own daughter, she acted the same way.

Speaking of which, Xiaodong used to think that the sixth princess followed Concubine Song Shu and didn't learn any kindness and humility, let alone talent.But Concubine Song Shu, as a mother, was still willing to support her daughter. At that time, the Sixth Princess was not in harmony with her marriage, and she cried and begged the emperor a lot.

Things that I didn't understand before, I understand better now.

You can't just look at the surface of things.

The scene of Concubine Ming and the fifth princess being filial to mothers and daughters is just a fake, but the noisy concubine Shu and the sixth princess are more real and cordial.

The Empress Dowager Shengci shook her head: "Whatever you do, you have to bear it yourself. If your concubine hasn't done anything, naturally you don't have to be afraid."

Empress Dowager Shengci's meaning is very clear.

If Imperial Concubine Ming did something, then she didn't need to beg for mercy, and begging was useless.

Concubine Ming slowly straightened up.

With a look of despair on her face: "The Empress Dowager is really so hard-hearted?"

Empress Dowager Shengci had compassion on her face, but she said: "All these years, you have never regretted or feared when you dreamed back at midnight? No one else will mention that the peach who once served by your side really hanged herself ?"

Concubine Ming's eyes dodged a little, and she asked in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager still remembers her... how many years have passed..."

"Yes, it's been many years." The Empress Dowager Shengci said, "You still remember her, right?"

There were already several eunuchs standing outside the door, and there were also palace people in the palace. Concubine Ming was not a master with hidden skills, so she was not afraid that she would be detrimental to the Empress Dowager Shengci.

The palace people outside reported: "Empress Dowager, please see me with the high palm of Zichen Palace."

Senior lady?
Concubine Ming shuddered, and walked forward with her knees, but was stopped by the palace servants.She stretched out her hand in the direction of the Empress Dowager Shengci, begging: "Empress Dowager, at least for the sake of serving me so respectfully all these years, save my life!"

The Empress Dowager Shengci turned her face away and nodded to Caigu who was beside her.

Caigu understood and went to open the door.

The high female official greeted the queen mother first, and then said that the emperor had something to do with the imperial concubine Ming, so she wanted to take her there.

In fact, everyone in the room understood that this so-called incident was probably caused by Concubine Ming.

Concubine Ming also knew that there was nothing to be done, so she slowly stood up while supporting her knees.

Probably because she knew it was useless to ask, but she had calmed down after reaching this point anyway.

It seems that she still looks like a noble concubine.

Without the queen, the imperial concubine is actually the highest status among the emperor's women.

The high female official was not rude to her, and politely asked Concubine Ming to leave.

Concubine Ming glanced at her, with undisguised hatred in her eyes.

The high female official remained indifferent, as if whether the gentleness in Concubine Ming's eyes or the shooting of a knife had nothing to do with her.

Concubine Ming walked to the door, some eunuchs and palace people were in front and some were behind, anyway, no matter if she wanted to run away or violently hurt others, she would never have that chance.

Concubine Ming stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and suddenly asked: "Master, is my sister alive or dead? Where is she?"

Xiaodong was taken aback.

If Concubine Ming didn't mention it, Xiaodong really couldn't think of her sister.

Xiaodong shook his head honestly: "I don't know, there was no news of her after the incident that year."

Concubine Ming smiled, and said with some self-mockery: "She is much smarter than me..."

The high-ranking female official took Concubine Ming away, and Caigu let out a long sigh of relief, and patted her chest: "Oh, what is this..."

Xiaodong thought about two things.

What did Concubine Ming do?
Also, what did she mean by talking about her sister when she left?
Empress Dowager Shengci took Xiaodong's hand to comfort her: "Are you scared?"

Xiaodong shook his head: "With the Empress Dowager here, I am not afraid."

The Empress Dowager Shengci smiled slightly and stroked her hair: "Well, if you don't understand anything, just go back and ask your father."

Even if the Queen Mother doesn't say so, Xiaodong still wants to ask.

But right now she is concerned about another matter: "Will the Fifth Princess...will be implicated?"

"No." Empress Dowager Shengci said, "You don't have to worry about her, don't worry, the emperor understands it in his heart."

This chapter is rewritten. I originally wrote more than 1000 words, and I feel bad.

I don't feel good now, but it's much smoother than it was originally written.
