Palace Concubine Policy: Invincible Queen

Chapter 177 Heartbroken (19)
"Mother Ya, is Dong Shidu here?" A young eunuch asked in the voice.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with Eunuch looking for Xiaowanzi?" Mammy Ya's voice reached Dong Xiaowan's ears.

"The slave is from the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and came to read the decree to Shi Dong."

After hearing this, Dong Xiaowan got up from the bed, tidied her hair, then opened the door and went out, saying, "Little Eunuch, I don't know what the Empress Dowager's will is. Please also declare the edict!"

"The Empress Dowager has a decree for Dong Shidu to have an audience at the Palace of Compassion and Ning!" The little eunuch announced the empress dowager's decree.

Dong Xiaowan knelt down to accept the order, and followed the little eunuch to the Palace of Compassion.

When I arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, I saw the Empress Dowager sitting on the kang, with the Empress serving beside her.Dong Xiaowan turned her eyes again, looked around but did not see Concubine Shu and the two noble concubines.

Why is there only the queen and the empress dowager? Could there be some conspiracy?Dong Xiaowan felt her heart beating fast, but she didn't show it at all on her face.

Seeing Dong Xiaowan coming, the Empress Dowager said to the maids and eunuchs in the room: "You all go down!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded and retreated.

"Aijia heard that the emperor was furious because of the flip of the card yesterday. Not only did he kick Xiao Shunzi, but you were also wronged." The empress dowager slowly moved the teacup with the lid Floating tea leaves.

Is it for the flop?There shouldn't be any danger, right? "Slave...the slave is not wronged!" Dong Xiaowan said while kneeling with her head down.

"You have done what Aijia asked you to do! What kind of reward do you want?" The Empress Dowager put down her teacup and said calmly.

"The slave just did what the slave should do. The slave dare not take credit, and the slave dare not ask for a reward! If the queen mother wants to reward, then please ask the queen mother to let the queen reward the slave. The slave said disrespectful words that time. If the queen can forgive the slave and spare the slave, that will be the greatest reward." Dong Xiaowan kowtowed.

The empress dowager smiled and said: "Since you have opened your mouth, there is no reason for Aijia not to agree!" As the empress dowager said, she turned her head and said to the empress: "Empress, although Dong Shidu offended you, but It's a redemption, so don't worry about it. Just take it for Aijia's sake, and treat that incident as if it never happened!"

After hearing what the empress dowager said, the queen knelt on the ground and said, "Yes! The concubine will be honored by the empress dowager!"

"Okay! Get up!" The empress dowager stretched out her hand to support the queen, then turned her head and said to Dong Xiaowan, "If you take good care of the emperor in the future, the Ai family will reward you. By the way, during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the Ai family did not reward you." What about you, Aijia heard that the emperor rewarded you with that fox fur coat, and you gave it away. Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, you don’t have any better clothes to keep out the cold. There is a mink fur dress, it looks good, and it is suitable for you to wear." The empress dowager shouted out the door, "Lan'er!"

Not long after, Sister Lan, the Empress Dowager's personal maid in the Palace of Compassionate Ning, walked in, bowed her head and waited for orders.
