Chapter 222 The Empress Dowager

It was already half an hour after Luoying left and returned, Meng Qianyan was sitting in front of the window, quietly watching Yifei's inner bedroom, as if nothing had happened.

"Peach Blossom, Peach Blossom..."

"Sister Luoying, how are you doing? Did you ask what happened?"

"Yeah!" Luoying nodded emphatically, "Taohua, let me tell you, do you know the green dress next to the empress?"

"I know, you told me last time. You said it was the green clothes or the person who accompanied Yifei from outside the palace to enter the palace. Don't offend her."

"Oh, you just want to offend her now, but I'm afraid you won't be able to offend her."

"what?"

"That green dress was kicked out of the palace."

Meng Qianyan was surprised, "How could this happen?"

"I heard from the eunuch outside. In the morning, didn't the empress go to the Yongshou Palace to pay her respects? When she was about to come out, the green clothes stumbled a chess nobleman. The chess nobleman yelled at her and complained to the noble concubine. Lvyi was beaten up and expelled from the palace."

Listening to Luoying's narration, Meng Qianyan didn't say anything.

She secretly thought, beating a dog still depends on the owner, it seems that life in this palace is really not easy.

That Concubine Yi is just a mistake made by her cousin, because she is no longer favored, anyone can deal with her.

Luo Ying also tutted her tongue and said, "Oh, people outside are all watching the Hengan Palace jokes, saying that the day when Concubine Yi is demoted is not far away."

Since ancient times, there have been many icing on the cake and little charcoal in the snow, so it is normal for Heng'an Palace to be discussed like this.

However, when she thought of Concubine Yi's thin and petite appearance, she felt indescribably sympathetic.

"Peach Blossom, Peach Blossom, why don't you talk?" Luo Ying gently pushed her arm.

"Oh, Sister Luoying, I was just thinking, if our Heng'an Palace is really bad, what will we do in the future..."

Luo Ying laughed, "Hee hee, Tao Hua, they say you're stupid, but I don't think you're stupid. Let me tell you, many old court ladies outside of them are looking for another way out."

"Ah? Then let's..."

Luoying spread her hands, "We have no power, no power, no background, no beauty, we can only resign ourselves to our fate here." Speaking of this, Luoying pulled Meng Qianyan's face, "Hey, Taohua, I found that you are still pretty Yeah."

"I, I'm not good-looking." Meng Qianyan quickly waved his hands.

"Hee hee, I'm scaring you. The people in this palace are all good people, what's the use of being beautiful." Luo Ying said with emotion.

Although people in the palace were talking about it, Concubine Yi was still Concubine Yi, and everything in Heng'an Palace was still orderly.

The next morning, Meng Qianyan went to Concubine Yi's inner bedroom to tidy up as usual.

A new court lady is dressing up Concubine Yi.

Concubine Yi wore a plain dress today, with a few red plum-shaped silk flowers on her head, she looked low-key and easy-going.

Meng Qianyan took a few glances, thinking about it was right.

Right now, it's best for Concubine Yi to keep a low profile.

"Peach Blossom."

Concubine Yi didn't know when she turned her head and looked at her.

She was startled, and hurriedly fell to her knees, in a state of fear and fear: "Empress Yifei."

"What are you afraid of? I'm just calling you."

"Oh." Meng Qianyan stood up.

"Hey, I see that you are not busy, and you can be considered nimble, although you are a bit stupid. How about it, when you go with Bengong, please go to Yongshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother."

Meng Qianyan was stunned, his eyes widened.

"Don't be afraid, I just wish you well. We will be back after listening to the empress dowager's lecture."

"But, but, people outside say that sister in green..."

"Your elder sister in green clothes is too smart, that's why people don't like it. You're fine, just follow me obediently." Concubine Yi smiled, "Taohua, go, change into something better." Palace clothes, follow me to the palace."

Concubine Yi's words are the will, Meng Qianyan has no reason not to listen.

Thinking that going to Yongshou Palace would give her a lot of insight, so she gladly obeyed.

The distance from Heng'an Palace to Yongshou Palace is relatively far, and there are Ling'an Palace, Qing'an Palace and other palaces of several concubines in the middle.

Concubine Yi was walking, Meng Qianyan and several court ladies followed behind her.

After walking for a certain distance, Meng Qianyan saw Aunt Li, who was following a sedan chair.

The woman on the sedan chair was dressed in red, in her prime, with an imposing aura, needless to say, she must be the imperial concubine of Ling'an Palace.

However, Meng Qianyan was very strange, the imperial concubine was still relatively young, how could she have a son as old as the Seventeenth Prince?

When she was stunned, Concubine Yi had already lowered her body, "Concubine sees your concubine."

The person on the sedan chair glanced at her and smiled, "Sister Min? What's the matter? Let's walk over today and stop being a sedan chair?"

Concubine Yi smiled, "Walking, moving around, there's nothing wrong with that."

"That's right, it's the same with this person, it can't stay the same. I'm sitting in a sedan chair today, why don't sister Min come up together and we go there together?"

"That's not necessary, the imperial concubine, the concubine will be there within a few steps."

"That's good, then I'm going ahead."

After the sedan chair was gone, Concubine Yi stood up straight and continued to walk forward.

However, when he walked to the gate of Yongshou Palace, he saw another bright and bright shadow, this person seemed to be a noble chess player of Qing'an Palace.

The chess nobleman came rushing forward and huddled, glanced at Concubine Yi, as if he didn't see it, swaggered and walked in the door before her.

Concubine Yi didn't say anything, and her tolerance made people feel distressed.

Finally, Concubine Yi also entered the Yongshou Palace, and in the outer hall, all the concubines had almost arrived and sat in their seats according to their positions.

Concubine Yi also sat down, and Meng Qianyan followed behind her.

The concubines in the room gathered together in twos and threes, chatting twitteringly.

Only Concubine Yi was alone from the beginning to the end, spinning a jade bracelet on Hao's wrist by herself.

Fortunately, at this time, amidst the eunuch's high-pitched calls, the empress dowager came out in a phoenix robe.

All the concubines and maids in the hall fell to their knees, "See the queen mother, the queen mother is thousands of years old."

"Pingshen." The thick old female voice echoed, carrying infinite majesty.

Everyone stood up again.

"Give a seat."

Everyone sat back.

Standing behind Concubine Yi, Meng Qianyan glanced at the Empress Dowager from the corner of his eye, beating drums in his heart. It turned out that this is the Empress Dowager, this is the Yongshou Palace, and this is the harem with infinite majesty and hierarchy.

As soon as the empress dowager sat there, countless people surrendered.

No wonder everyone looks forward to this supreme position, so noble and powerful there.

The empress dowager gave her lectures above, and all the concubines below listened with trepidation, fearing that something might go wrong.

Meng Qianyan saw their expressions in his eyes, and sighed in his heart: I don't know what the meaning of such a life is like walking on thin ice.

At this time, an old aunt next to the empress dowager came in from the side door, and she smiled and whispered something in the empress dowager's ear.

The Empress Dowager was suddenly happy, "Hehe, is that right? How many of them are here?"

"Yes."

"Then let's have a good time." The empress dowager sat up straight, combed her meticulous temple hair, and there was a little more kindness in her eyes.

Then, I saw a group of seven princes wearing python robes, filing in.
