Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 6

The kneeling man stood up following Du Xiaoyue's will.The palace servant next to him spoke again: "Your Majesty, these palace servants are serving you. They have already taken care of everything. Your Majesty can rest now."

"Okay! Thank you, father-in-law." Du Xiaoyue whispered softly, and at the same time gave Hongsi a look. Hongsi immediately took out a silver ingot from her bosom and handed it to Du Xiaoyue. In his hand, he continued to speak in a soft voice, "Please accept this little idea. It's my first time entering the palace. There are many things I don't understand. I will ask you to take care of me in the future."

"Your Majesty is so polite, this is what a slave should do." The palace man smiled, and although he said so, he had already put the silver in his arms, "Then the slave will not disturb the empress to rest. Already, the slave will leave first."

"Eunuch, go slowly! Red Silk, take Eunuch out." Du Xiaoyue continued to speak softly.Then he took the green bamboo and walked towards the main hall. At the same time, a court lady had already prepared tea and put it on the upper table in the main hall.

When Du Xiaoyue entered the palace, she didn't sit down, but looked at the palace people who came in afterward, seeing that they were about to kneel down again, Du Xiaoyue hurriedly stopped her: "You don't need to kneel down, now that you are following me, naturally you are from Zhaoyang Palace Now, my family, don’t be too far-fetched. In the future, let’s get along more casually, don’t be too restrictive, each of you should do your own thing well, and you can go to rest after finishing your own business.”

"Yes!" The palace people didn't have any other opinions, they all answered very obediently.

"Okay, you guys go out first! I'll call you if something happens!" Du Xiaoyue said lazily, then sat casually on a chair beside her, shaking her head and stretching her neck muscles. It hurts all.

"Miss, you should give those palace people a blow!" Seeing that the palace people had gone out, Hongsi actively massaged Du Xiaoyue's neck, and said softly at the same time.

"That's right! As soon as Xiaosi, the maidservants in Du's mansion, enter the mansion, the housekeeper will tell all the rules in Du's mansion. Everyone knows exactly what should be punished and what should be punished. In this way, everyone will not There was a mistake." Qing Zhu said from the side.

"No need." Du Xiaoyue smiled lightly, "We don't know what's going on in the palace, so it's better to keep silent."

Qingzhu handed the tea to Du Xiaoyue, and said at the same time: "We are just worried that Miss will be bullied by these palace people in the future!"

After receiving the tea, Du Xiaoyue didn't drink it, and put it on the table beside her. "Thank you for your concern!" Du Xiaoyue sighed, "To be honest, other things, I don't want you to follow me into the palace. Since ancient times, the harem has been a dark place, and I'm afraid I will harm you in the future."

"What are you afraid of, Miss? Isn't there a master?" Hongsi asked puzzledly, "The master is the current prime minister, and the eldest and second young masters are both in important positions. With the master and the young masters around, who would dare to touch the lady?"

Ah!Because of this, it is even more dangerous!Forget it, now that you've come in, it's useless to say anything.Du Xiaoyue yawned: "Okay, green bamboo, red silk, from now on, we don't care about other palace affairs, and don't bother with them, whether there are palace fights or favors, we just need to close the door, Just take a good night's sleep for us. Now, I want to go to bed, do you want to go to sleep too?"

"Miss, you can't do it!" Hongsi hurriedly stopped, "You are the queen now, and other concubines will come to visit you in a while!"

"Who said they were coming?" Du Xiaoyue asked suspiciously.

"Did you forget? Didn't we read those palace rules before entering the palace?" Qingzhu guided Du Xiaoyue's thoughts aside.

Palace rules?Du Xiaoyue remembered, those complicated palace rules were piled up on Du Xiaoyue's desk, but unfortunately, she didn't read any of them. "Hehe, let's wait here then!" Du Xiaoyue laughed, "By the way, do you want to pay the queen mother well now?"

"This..." Hongsi didn't understand very well, and she frowned slightly. Just when she was in trouble, a court lady of about 40 years old came in, first saluted Du Xiaoyue with a smile, and then said: "The empress dowager invites the empress dowager." Go to Taixuan Palace to talk."

"Yes." Du Xiaoyue stood up, answered with a smile, and at the same time asked softly, "Mama, Xiaoyue came to the palace, and I don't understand many etiquettes. Xiaoyue wants to ask Madam, do you want to change?" Put on your clothes and go to see the Queen Mother?"

"This... Your Majesty should change your clothes!" The palace lady thought for a while to answer, and at the same time she shouted loudly, "Come here, quickly change your clothes for the Empress."

Then, three court ladies walked in.Du Xiaoyue glanced at the three people, about fifteen or sixteen years old, standing respectfully. "The nanny will drink tea here for a while, and Xiaoyue will come out after changing clothes and go to the queen mother with the nanny." Du Xiaoyue said with a smile, "Come here, make a cup of good tea for the nanny!"

When Du Xiaoyue changed into the clothes that belonged to the queen, she rolled her eyes in her heart. This yellow body was too dazzling, and immediately made Du Xiaoyue feel bad. "Red silk, green bamboo, do you have anything refreshing like betel nut?" It's better to have something refreshing in your mouth. If the queen mother is talking about the same old talk for a while, and you accidentally fall asleep, it's not good.

"What do miss want this for?" Qing Zhu took out a piece from her purse and handed it to Du Xiaoyue.

Du Xiaoyue took it and put it in her mouth: "Clear your head, I'm afraid you will make a fool of yourself in front of the queen mother! Let's go, don't keep them waiting." I don't know why the queen mother is in a hurry to summon her, and I don't know if the emperor is there. Now, of course Du Xiaoyue has to concentrate on continuing to pretend that woman who is afraid of the emperor to the end. It is best to achieve the effect that the emperor hates herself, and then be an unfavored queen!
Taixuan Palace is where the empress dowager, the emperor's biological mother, lives.When Du Xiaoyue stepped into the Taixuan Palace, the first thing Du Xiaoyue saw was a woman in her forties who exuded a noble air. , it is easy to guess that she is the queen mother.Although the queen mother is in her forties, she is still graceful. If there are no fine wrinkles on her face and her body is not fat, she will look more like a woman in her twenties!However, the first time Du Xiaoyue saw her, the name of Xiaozhuang Empress Dayuer of the Qing Dynasty suddenly popped up in her mind: Her eyes seemed very calm and kind, but the wisdom in her eyes was undeniable. ignore.Recalling what she said after the election: Everything is about the overall situation.In other words, according to the emperor's preferences, Li Qianrou would definitely get the posthumous position, but due to the influence of the Du family, he had no choice but to choose the daughter of the Du family as the queen.

Then why is the Queen Mother summoning herself here now?Du Xiaoyue walked towards the Queen Mother slowly, knelt down five steps away from her, bowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Du Xiaoyue pays respects to the Queen Mother!"

"Get up!" The queen mother said with a smile, and at the same time, two palace servants helped Du Xiaoyue up, "Come and sit next to Ai's house!"

Du Xiaoyue took a look at the soft couch the queen mother was sitting on, and the cushions on the couch - the blue silk with five points of old color, which was enough to show the simple character of the queen mother.Du Xiaoyue lowered her head, slowly moved to stand beside the queen mother, and said in a soft voice: "Xiaoyue should stand and talk to the queen mother."

The Empress Dowager nodded, took the tea from the lady-in-waiting, and drank it slowly with graceful movements.Putting down the teacup, raising his eyes, he looked at Du Xiaoyue: "Empress, the emperor doesn't like things to be too troublesome, so he waived your canonization ceremony. It stands to reason that the queen's canonization ceremony is an indispensable ceremony for every empress, and now the emperor waived it." Will the queen feel wronged by this ceremony, if the queen feels wronged, Aijia can ask the emperor to hold this ceremony."

Du Xiaoyue weighed the queen mother's words in her heart, and at the same time lowered her head, and said in a soft voice: "Back to the queen mother, the concubine does not feel wronged. The concubine is also a person who is afraid of trouble. The canonization ceremony is just a ceremony, and the concubine doesn't care about these false names. And Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and he should put state affairs first, so it’s better not to do such troublesome and unimportant things.” The queen mother calls herself queen, so of course she has to change her title.However, without the canonization ceremony, it would be very awkward for a queen—except for Du Xiaoyue, of course.

"Good boy, it is as your father said, you are knowledgeable, reasonable, and understanding!" The queen mother said with a satisfied smile.

Oh?Du Kangyong said these words in front of the Queen Mother?It seems that Du Kangyong doesn't care much about his daughter. How do you know that his daughter is well educated and considerate?Du Xiaoyue smiled slightly: "The empress dowager praised her absurdly. Xiaoyue is the emperor's queen, so naturally everything has to be considered for the emperor's sake." In a word, she expressed her position.

"Hmm." The Queen Mother smiled, "Sit down too, and have a chat with Ai's family."

"Yes." Du Xiaoyue sat on the chair on the right side of the Empress Dowager, looked at the Empress Dowager, "The Empress Dowager..."

"It's still called Queen Mother, change it to Mother Queen!" said Queen Mother with a smile.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Du Xiaoyue quickly changed her words, "What does Queen Mother want to talk about?"

"The Ai family has not been out of the palace for more than 20 years." The queen mother smiled and said, "You just entered the palace today, why don't you tell the Ai family some interesting stories outside the palace!"

Uh... Du Xiaoyue groaned secretly in her heart, she had only come to Feiya Dynasty for about ten days, and during these ten days, she didn't leave the gate or step through the second gate, so how could she know what interesting news is going on outside!However, isn't this the queen mother who hasn't been out of the palace for more than 20 years?Then she must not be very familiar with things outside the palace, so tell her some stories that you have read before!But what are you talking about, Condor Shooting?Divine sculpture?Yitian?These stories seem to be too long, and I can't remember them all.Then tell some short stories on operas!For example, the Peony Pavilion and the like, it is enough to change some of the things that they cannot love, and change them to suit the thoughts of the people here.
