The Harem's Favorite Maid Raiders

Chapter 402 Queen Mother, Didn't Come
When the words fell, Han Yumin was slightly taken aback.

Historically, during general elections, the empress was the one sitting next to the emperor.

But today, the emperor said, let her go.

Blinking her eyes, Han Yumin felt mixed feelings in her heart—everyone wanted to be the queen, everyone wanted to sit beside the emperor, to be with him, to do this, to do that, but, Who knows how much she has to bear sitting beside the emperor.

For example, tomorrow, even though she is aloof, she will look at the emperor's side, and there will be one more girl after another.

Among the people elected in last year's general election, very few survived, and those people were the least favored. Some even entered the palace for a year without seeing the emperor.

Everyone is competing for favor.

However, he couldn't live that long.

And these people who don't even see the emperor's face a few times can survive day by day. Is this a blessing or a curse?

After thinking about it, Han Yumin glanced at Jiang Meng, as if it was just something so small that she didn't need to think about it, she nodded flatly and said, "Okay, my concubine, let's go."

Jiang Meng smiled and stretched out his hand, patting her head lovingly: "Well, when the time comes, you can help me take a look, after all, who can stay and who can't."

"No matter how the concubine looks at it, in the end, it's not just a matter of the emperor's words."

Han Yumin chuckled and shook his head.

"Oh." Jiang Meng frowned and grabbed her hand, "What about you... Take a good look at it. I will take the initiative in this matter right now and leave it to you. Tomorrow, you say, Who should stay, whoever should stay, who should not stay, and I, I will send her back, how about it?"

Han Yumin bit her lips in surprise—she never thought that the emperor would "dote" on her like this.

So he nodded and said nothing.

She knew that if this was the case, she could just listen to it. During the general election last year, basically everyone was chosen by the queen mother. Even the emperor didn't intervene. Will it be her turn this year?

Isn't this a joke?

While thinking, she turned around and carefully cut off the wick of the candle in her hand.

Another night, here we come.

I don't know why, but now, she is more and more afraid of the coming of night. Whenever night comes, her heart is always empty and afraid.

In the past, in the cold palace, I stayed alone for a long time, and it was dark all day long. The Ministry of Internal Affairs did not even give candles, so Han Yumin never dared to use one more, saving and saving every day, even, The moment she walked downstairs and could see the sun, she felt that she, who should have felt happy, felt a little dazzled.

But now, she was so afraid of the dark.

Probably... It's because she feels more and more insecure in her heart, and it's probably because she is getting more and more afraid now, time is passing by bit by bit.

On the day of the general election, Han Yumin got up early to dress up, and Zihan happily brought her rouge and earrings, and carefully combed her into a beautiful lily bun—because on this day, she was the only woman among women except the Queen Mother. In addition, the person with the highest status, so Zihan specially took the meaning of "a hundred years of good marriage".

As for Han Yumin herself, she smiled at the mirror and gently made her lips red little by little.

It is coral red, not too bright, but also luxurious.

Putting on rouge and drawing on her black eyebrows, Zihan picked up two red coral earrings and put them on for her.

"Ma'am, it's so pretty."

After dressing up, Zihan looked at her in the mirror, then lowered his head, looked at Han Yumin with a smile on his lips, and said softly, "Today is the general election, so what can I do? Madam, she is still the most dazzling among these women." All of them, each of them, must respect the empress, follow the horse's lead, be obedient, and no one dares to make mistakes."

"Look at what you said..." Han Yumin said angrily, "I haven't seen a girl yet, and the maids around me are still putting on airs?"

"oops……"

Zihan pouted his mouth, a little coquettish in it.

Han Yumin smiled——this girl, the two of them have been together for a long time, and she is becoming less and less like a master and servant, and Zihan is not like Aunt Chun. There was laughter.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that my life is really good.

Otherwise, why would I meet Aunt Chun, Chuxue, and "pick up" Zihan?

This must be God's favor for her.

Seeing a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, Zihan also giggled: "Okay, ma'am, it's time."

"En." Han Yumin nodded and got up.

Behind her, the long red dress that dragged the floor made a "rustling" sound of rubbing against the ground, like a melodious melody.

Amidst the faint sound of blowing bombs, Han Yumin slowly walked into Zhuhuadian—this place has not been here for a long time, and now, walking in again, it is really a bit familiar and a bit strange.

However, when she walked forward step by step, she seemed to see that Jiang Meng's eyes narrowed slightly with a smile, and he looked at her softly, then, he quickly stood up, walked forward with strides, and stood up. In front of her.

"You came."

"Well, my concubine is late." After finishing speaking, she knelt down and said, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

"My husband and wife, you are welcome, get up quickly." Jiang Meng smiled and grabbed her hand, and slowly helped her up.

And the moment she looked up, she saw that there was a seat on the opposite side, which was obviously empty.

This seat, obviously, is reserved for the Queen Mother, but...

"Hey, Your Majesty."

"how?"

"What about the queen mother?"

"Uh..." Jiang Meng frowned when Han Yumin asked about the queen mother, and his face was a bit embarrassed, "I don't know what's going on, I originally said that the queen mother will come today, but, Early this morning, before dawn, Aunt Xu Jing came and told me that the Empress Dowager did not sleep well at night and was not feeling well, so she will not come."

"Not coming?" Han Yumin couldn't help but frown upon hearing this—Is Empress Dowager Zhao's illness... getting worse?So he tentatively asked, "Didn't you ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look?"

"Look." Jiang Meng pulled her forward and sighed helplessly, "I immediately called Dr. Hu to check the Queen Mother's pulse, but Dr. Hu said that the Queen Mother just didn't rest well, alas ..."

Hearing Jiang Meng's sigh, Han Yumin seemed to be able to sense that, like her, he was beginning to doubt.

"I see, the queen mother's complexion is really bad. It looks like she hasn't slept well for several nights." Jiang Meng pulled her down and whispered in her ear.

Then, before Han Yumin could speak, a group of women in pink palace gowns ushered in amidst the slow sound of silk and bamboo instruments.
