Playful Queen

Chapter 29

The two of them led the four maids slowly into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and Yingying bowed down: "My concubine pays her respects to the Empress Dowager, and to the Empress Dowager." Finally, the two of them did not forget to greet Mengli, the empress, too. install.

The empress dowager waved her hands with a smile on her face, and said softly, "Get up."

The two of them responded gracefully, then slowly stepped aside, looked up at the high seat, the last time I saw Mengli on the Empress Dowager's birthday, Concubine Xue snorted coldly, the Empress looks nothing more than this, But her elder sister, Concubine Hui, didn't think so. She seemed to be able to see a unique temperament from those bright eyes.

The legendary Concubine Hui and her younger sister Xue Concubine, the head of the Eastern Palace, are both standard beauties. It seems that Zi Yechen really enjoys the blessings of everyone. She glanced at the two of them, and finally fell in love with the goose yellow body, which was elegant and elegant. Concubine Hui, who was in the dust, paid a little more attention.

"Give me a seat." The queen mother's words interrupted Mengli's thinking, and the queen mother immediately said: "The mourning family is looking for you today, and I have something to say."

"Whenever the Queen Mother has, just tell me." Concubine Xue was the first to answer, while Concubine Hui was silent, waiting for the Queen Mother's words.

While holding Mengli's hand, the Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Hui and Concubine Xue below: "The Ai family has always liked Hui'er's indifferent and non-compassionate temperament the most, and also managed the Eastern Palace in an orderly manner. In the future, Concubine Hui and Concubine Xue will assist more."

When Concubine Xue heard the Queen Mother's words, she immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Then, will my sister also be under her control?"

"Xue'er!" Concubine Hui, who had been silent all this time, held her younger sister's hand, motioning her not to say more, then looked at the queen mother, and said softly: "Don't worry, queen mother, I will live up to my empress's trust. The lord of the harem, Ronghui will definitely help the empress with all her heart."

Seeing the actions of the two sisters, I also understood somewhat in my heart. Concubine Xue is an impulsive girl, but she is also a straightforward person. She just needs her sister to wipe her buttocks. As for Concubine Hui... it will really be Is it as indifferent as the queen mother said?Maybe, since Zi Yechen has been with him since he was the prince until today, she must not be so simple. In short, she can't be close to the women in the harem.

"Li'er, the 24th house is not so easy to manage, so I will ask Ronghui for advice if I have anything in the future."

Concubine Hui said hastily: "The empress is the master of the harem, Rong Hui should obey the empress in everything."

Hearing Ronghui's words, the queen mother was very satisfied, with a gentle smile on her face.

Only Mengli trembled when she heard these words, her face was a little pale, this queen was not what she wanted to be, and now she has to deal with this bunch of messy harem affairs, 24th and [-]th palaces, she has to deal with her. Are you still alive?

Several people drank fragrant tea and chatted for half a stick of incense, then saw the eunuch who had just notified ran in again, knelt down and said, "Report to the Empress Dowager, Concubine Yun came to pay her respects."

The lifelike golden peony flower dress highlighted her enchanting figure, and her breath was slightly disturbed. Concubine Yun hurried in, bent down and bowed down, and softly exhaled: "My concubine pays her respects to the empress dowager, and to the empress dowager."

Before the Empress Dowager called out, she heard Xue Bi say coldly, "Concubine Yun is really arrogant, she made the Empress Dowager and Empress wait for a long time."

When Yun Xi heard this, she didn't raise her head, and quickly explained to the queen mother: "Please forgive me, the queen mother, my concubine sleeps too much and wakes up late."

"Okay, okay, get up first." The queen mother said lightly.

When Yun Xi got up, Concubine Xue said again: "Concubine Yun, don't you know that the emperor shouldn't have gone to another palace last night?"

When Xuebi asked this sentence, Mengli almost had the urge to vomit blood again. My god, she hasn't said anything yet, but she got up in a hurry for herself. These words are quite powerful, with both sarcasm and jealousy After going out, Mengli looked at Concubine Xue, and then heard Yun Xi's voice...

"The concubine should really plead guilty to the empress. Last night was supposed to be a good day for the queen, but the emperor..." She hesitated to speak, thought for a while, and then continued: "The concubine also persuaded the emperor, but in the end there was nothing she could do. , please forgive me, the queen."

What a plea, Mengli raised her eyebrows, and said without changing her face: "So that's the case, then I should thank Concubine Yun for taking so much trouble for me."

"The concubines don't dare, it's a blessing for the concubines in the harem to be so magnanimous." Concubine Yun bowed her body and looked at Mengli with a smile.

The queen mother, who had not spoken all the time, felt relieved when she heard her niece's answer. This girl is finally becoming more and more sensible. After understanding what she said before, the queen mother smiled, and finally opened her mouth to tell them what she said. Interrupted the topic, "Now, the Ai family invited you here because they have two things to say. The first thing is the banquet for the army to return to court."

The queen mother looked gentle and calm, looked at the concubine of the East and West Palace, and said softly: "Prince Duan and General Shen led the army to fight and returned with a great victory. The Ai family discussed with the emperor and prepared to reward the three armies and hold a banquet Take the wind and wash the process."

The General Shen mentioned by the Queen Mother is naturally Mengli's eldest brother, Shen Aoyun. After hearing some stories about her eldest brother, plus the letter he wrote to herself before entering the palace, Mengli is very fond of this eldest brother who has never been masked. , looking forward to it very much, so when she heard it, Mengli naturally felt a little joy in her heart.

As for Prince Duan, Meng Li didn't have much interest, but had heard before entering the palace that Prince Duan, Zi Yingxuan, was the emperor's uncle, and thought he would be a gray-haired old man, but unexpectedly He is only one year older than the emperor. He is a young and handsome man. It is said that the prince has both civil and military skills since he was a child. He is wise and smart, brave and good at fighting. He has a lot of prestige in the court. Even the emperor will give him three points.

"Li'er, now that you are the master of the harem, Aijia wants to hear your opinion." The queen mother turned her head to look at Mengli with a kind smile on her face.

Mengli knew what the empress dowager's aunt meant, and hoped that she would be able to perform well, but this meeting might disappoint her old man. Her heart is indeed not on these things, and she doesn't want to take care of things. She took a breath and said : "Queen Dowager, I heard that Concubine Yun is good at singing, dancing, calligraphy and painting, and has held several banquets. Why don't you leave this matter to Concubine Yun. It's perfect to choose her." Push it if you can, because she There are other things to be busy recently, so don't do such boring things.

Unexpectedly, after saying these words, she didn't get a reply from Concubine Yun, and unexpectedly she would lose her mind, Meng Li cleared her throat and called out, "Concubine Yun?"
