The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 22 The Empress Dowager Summoned Alone
Lafayette?
Yingyun remembered that Anai had said that her successor position was due to the Queen Mother's efforts to secure her position as Qianlong's successor.

So, logically speaking, the queen mother should be on her side, why do you think Wu Shun's face is so serious?
Yingyun lost her sleepiness a long time ago, and asked: "When did the Empress Dowager return to the palace?"

Wu Shun replied: "I heard that the evening arrived yesterday, and I had dinner with the emperor. Early this morning, the two noble concubines went to the Compassionate Ning Palace with the empresses and young masters of the palaces to pay their respects."

Ying Yun wondered, "Why didn't I know? No one came to inform me."

Anai and Wu Shun looked at each other, and said: "Lafayette is the most respectful of rules. When she returns to the palace, she always goes to the palace to greet her. Madam, you are trapped in the palace, and the affairs of the harem are all up to you." The pure imperial concubine presides over it, she must have deliberately kept it from you to make you lose your dignity with Lafayette."

Wu Shun also said: "Yes, Lafayette's return to the palace is a big event, the whole harem knows about it, but we people in Yikun Palace don't know anything."

Now is not the time to complain, the most important thing is to quickly think of a countermeasure.

Yingyun pulled Anai and said: "It's useless to talk too much. Since the queen mother summoned me, Anai, hurry up and dress me up, don't make the queen mother wait any longer."

Right now there is no other way but to take one step at a time.

Anai dressed up Yingyun carefully, picked the most correct-colored snail Dai to outline her eyebrows, smoothed her face with jade fat, pursed her lip fat, put on five phoenix tinsels inlaid with emerald jewels, and wore a set of stone blue satin Regular clothes embroidered with cloud and crane patterns, covered with a mandarin jacket of the same color.

Yingyun looked at the mirror, she really depends on clothes, now she really looks like someone who walked out of a portrait in the Qing palace.

"Let's go." Yingyun's hand rested on Anais's arm. Her attire at the moment looked good, but she was really afraid of accidentally falling on her back.

Taking advantage of the gap between the sedan chairs, Anai said, "Madam, I would like to remind you a few words. Although Lafayette is a bodhisattva with a heart, there is a taboo. However, everyone before and after, regardless of master or slave, should respectfully address her as Lafayette." , don’t call her Empress Dowager.”

Yingyun nodded and wrote it down, and asked: "Anai, what does Lafayette like and what doesn't like, please tell me more."

On the way to the Compassionate Palace, Anai told everything he knew about the Queen Mother's preferences like pouring beans.

Yingyun probably listened to it, that is, there must be rules in everything, and it is not surprising that there are many people who are polite.

The emperor has always been filial, and he is obedient to the queen mother in everything. After he ascended the throne, he specially repaired the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so that the queen mother can take care of her for the rest of her life.

The Compassionate Palace is spacious and bright, and the eunuchs in front of the palace saw that Empress Feng had arrived, and trotted all the way into the palace to report.

After a while, Sister Xiangzhi went to the gate of the palace in person, greeted Yingyun and the others to enter, and said, "Good luck, empress, Lafayette is waiting for you at the East Nuan Pavilion."

Yingyun responded politely: "I'm sorry, ma'am."

Sister Xiangzhi led Yingyun around the Jiuqu screen wall, opened the bamboo curtain of Concubine Xiang, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, go in."

Yingyun stepped in, and Anai and the others were about to follow, but they were stopped by Madam Xiangzhi, and said: "Lafayette has an order, only the lady is called to go in, you all go outside and wait."

Anai glanced at the queen uneasily, with a worried expression on her face, fearing that her mother would forget the rules again.

But Yingyun smiled at her, signaling her to rest assured, and entered the Nuan Pavilion alone.
