Playful Queen

Chapter 92

After the words fell, Qiu Shui obediently stepped forward to help the empress to walk towards the front hall.

When the concubines in Fengyi Hall saw Mengli coming, they got up one after another, and said: "My concubine greets the empress."

Mengli waved her hand, motioning them to sit down, and looked at them, Concubine Hui was still so elegant, dressed in a light green dress, sober and refined, just like what the Queen Mother said, she is a law-abiding person, As for Concubine Xue, wearing a bright red long dress, she was as delicate and charming as a rose, and there were two other beauties, Xu Meiren and Tingmei, who were also as beautiful as flowers and jade.

Mengli finally set her sights on Xia Yunxi who was sitting at the front on the left. Today she was wearing a powder blue long dress embroidered with orchids, a simple cloud bun on her head, and a silver stick in the middle. A pair of jade drop bead earrings dangled from her ears. With the slight movement of her head, her body became plump and full of charm because of her pregnancy. Maybe it was also because of her pregnancy. The whole process was done gracefully and slowly, just Even when she just got up, she was carefully supported by two court ladies. This posture is even more powerful than her, a queen.

Withdrawing her gaze, she thought to herself, very good, when she is in trouble, no one dares to approach her, once the ban is lifted, they will all come!
These people are people who go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so they don't know why they came together today, and next, she will know when this Snow Concubine opens her mouth.

"My concubine heard that the Empress went to the Qianqing Palace last night, congratulations." Xue Bi pouted, as if breaking the whole vat of jealousy, but she didn't dare to say that she was unhappy, so she just smiled and congratulated.

Hearing her words, Mengli couldn't help being a little surprised. With the spreading ability of the harem, everyone should know that she didn't succeed in sleeping at all last night. The emperor also left suddenly in the middle of the night. It seems that this matter has not spread , it must be Zi Yechen's actions, he actually suppressed this matter, what is his purpose for doing this?
At this time, Concubine Xue's voice interrupted Mengli's thoughts again, "Now that the empress is favored by the emperor, I believe that she will be able to conceive the emperor's child like Concubine Yun in the near future. The child born by the empress must be the crown prince. .”

She didn't say this to herself, but to Concubine Yun, who is now pregnant. It seems that what Concubine Xue is jealous of is, is it necessary to point her finger at Sang?
The corner of Meng Li's mouth chuckled, ignoring her quick words, but glanced at Yun Xi, only to see that she was just like herself at the moment, pretending not to care, holding the teacup by the table by the side drinking her tea.

"Empress Empress..." Just when Concubine Xue was about to speak, Concubine Hui, who was silent beside her, tore her clothes, gave her a quiet look, interrupted her, and said, "Queen Empress, I came here today because I want to discuss something with Empress Empress."

"Oh?" Mengli raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Hui: "Now the affairs of the harem will be handled by you and Concubine Yun. If you have anything to do, you can discuss it with each other."

"The empress is the master of the harem, so I must follow what the empress wants." Concubine Hui's voice was soft, and she looked at Mengli, "The thing is like this, what happened to Concubine Li made people panic in the palace , the concubines want to do a ritual ceremony for Concubine Li, I wonder what the empress thinks?"

"Sister Li Pin has a good relationship with us, so we are quite sad to go like this." Xu Meiren, who walked closer to Li Pin, said sadly.

"I really don't know why the crows in Yongyingzhai would peck people for no reason?"

Tingmei also echoed: "I heard that it was Concubine Li who participated in the Buddha statue incident and was punished by the gods. It's really scary to think about it. The concubine also thinks that she should do a ritual."

"Since this matter makes everyone feel uneasy, let's hold a ritual ceremony, which happens to be a salvation for Concubine Li." She didn't want to say anything until she knew the exact truth, but she knew that ancient people were more Superstitious, these things are inevitable, and she has no opinion, "This matter will be handled by Concubine Hui. I don't understand the rules in this palace."

Mengli looked at Concubine Hui's faint smile, only to see Concubine Hui nodding her head and smiling back, and then everyone chatted about some very boring topics, and when the conversation was about the same, Mengli suddenly said, "I'm the only one here. There is one more thing, I almost forgot it after chatting with everyone, it was only because of Xu Meiren's words that I remembered it."

Mengli's face was very calm, and she looked at Concubine Yun who had not spoken today: "The palace has been grounded for the past few days, and there are many things that I can't control. There is a slave in my Fengyi Palace who recklessly ran into Concubine Yun's side. The person who damnedly stained Concubine Yun's clothes. I only found out about this yesterday, but I was in confinement, and I didn't have a chance to accompany Concubine Yun. take it out."

Piaoxue nodded, turned around and entered the inner room, and came out with four bolts of fine silk.

Everyone in the room was immediately dumbfounded when they saw the satin, and they knew in their hearts the dignity of this satin. It was also the day of the big wedding, and as one of the treasures of the gift money, no one could have a share, but they were not shocked by this, but were deeply puzzled in their hearts. Isn't the queen empress just to accompany her?Is it necessary to take out such a precious thing as a gift?It seems that Concubine Yun's success is inevitable, and even the Empress Dowager has to back down. Thinking of this, they feel proud and envious in their hearts, but the eunuchs and maids in Mengli's palace are a little unhappy, why does the empress flatter that woman so much? Where is Concubine Yun?
Mengli didn't pay attention to their various expressions, but just looked at Yun Xi quietly, "These four pieces of silk and satin are regarded as my sister's compensation."

As soon as these words came out, the eunuchs and maids of Fengyi Palace felt even more depressed. It was Fengyi Palace who was beaten, and the queen had to compensate others. Tears are already rolling in the sockets of my eyes,
She was obviously a little puzzled, she also looked at Mengli, and said with a smile: "What does the Empress bring up such a trivial matter, the concubine has long forgotten."

"No, this matter is not a trivial matter for this palace." Mengli moved her hands towards Qiushui, and said coldly: "Qiu Shui, what are you still doing in a daze, to apologize to Concubine Yun, you must know how to behave in the future , see clearly who you are facing, don't rely on the empress of this palace, and don't put others in your eyes!"

Qiu Shui's small face was pale, and tears rolled in her eyes. After hearing what the queen said, she stepped forward aggrievedly, bit her lip and knelt down humbly, and said in a trembling voice: "I know my mistake, please forgive me, Concubine Yun."
