Cihe Palace.

All the concubines and concubines are there, the queen mother and Concubine Yan are separated from the queen mother, Concubine Zheng is still in the lower row, but she has to swallow this breath, and the smile on her face is like a flower, "The queen mother and Concubine Yan are really like the two daughters of the queen mother, and the concubines look at it carefully, and they are very envious." ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, "You are the emperor's concubines, and you are also the daughters of the mourning family, there is no difference." ”

"The Queen Mother said so, the concubine is really flattered, and the blessing of the Queen Mother is also cultivated by the concubine for several lifetimes, how can she be so valued by the Queen Mother?"

Concubine Yan sneered, "Even if they are all daughters, whether they are kisses or how much they have been blessed." ”

dared to brush Concubine Zheng's face like this in front of the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also frowned slightly.

Concubine Zheng didn't dare to be as presumptuous as Concubine Yan in front of the Queen Mother, so she had to swallow this breath. In the past six months, the number of times the emperor has come to the palace can be counted on his fingers, but most of them have stayed in Yuruntang. Now Hu Concubine has also been sealed from the fourth grade of Chongyi, the class concubine has been sealed with the fourth grade of Ban Deyi, and Yuan Weier has become a sixth-grade nobleman. Not only did she not be promoted to the title and not favored, but Concubine Yan also pressed her hard, and the emperor was suspicious of her. Although Concubine Yan lost the second princess, the emperor allowed her to bring a two-year-old daughter of the Yan family into the palace as an adopted daughter. Concubine Zheng also proposed this request to the emperor for a long time, but the emperor did not agree.

Concubine Yan was talking and laughing with the Queen Mother, but a notice came from outside, "The emperor has arrived." ”

As soon as Ji Xuanyuan came in, he saluted the queen mother, and the concubines also got up to salute the emperor, and the queen immediately got up and left the position next to Ji Xuanyuan.

The Queen Mother took Ji Xuanyuan's hand, "The emperor has looked much better these days." At the end of the year, the emperor is busy with government affairs, and it is time to put down his burden and have a good life. ”

"That's what the Queen Mother said."

The Queen Mother turned her head sideways and saw An Sui standing behind Ji Xuanyuan, and then said, "Lord An is now fine?" ”

Ji Xuanyuan said, "An Sui did his best, and before his body was well, he had already gotten up to serve, saving a lot of effort from his son." It's also meritorious. ”

The Queen Mother said "um" lightly, and when she caught a glimpse of Ji Xuanyuan's expression, she smiled, "The emperor said that you are meritorious, and the mourning family is also happy, you came close." ”

An Sui looked at the Queen Mother, that day in the Cihe Palace, deliberately provoked the Tang King and her own affairs, she already knew in her heart, now seeing the Queen Mother looking at herself, although she was no longer in harmony, she couldn't show half a point on her face, and then knelt in front of the Queen Mother, "The minister doesn't dare to be the emperor, and the Queen Mother praises falsely." It is the duty of a minister. ”

"Although it is said to be your duty, how many people don't know their own duty and don't do their own duty, and it is rare that you can abide by your duty. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a fault, you will be punished, and the mourning family is not confused. The Queen Mother took a pair of step shakes from Aunt Mang's hand, "You are a rare child, serving by the emperor's side, and you are still a fourth-grade female official, you are so plainly dressed, and there are no ornaments on your hair bun except for the official crown." This is the favorite pair of step shakes when the mourning family was young, and the mourning family will reward you now. Serving by the emperor's side, abiding by his duties, he must also know how to be cautious in his words and deeds, and set an example for the female officials in the harem. ”

The pair of step shake is named Mei Yan, the East China Sea jade carving, the silver thread string on the pearl of the East China Sea, the tassel hangs to the shoulder, when walking, one step by one, it is one of the famous step shakes at that time.

Ji Xuanyuan was also surprised that the Queen Mother would give this thing to An Sui. He just said that, originally with the intention of promoting An Sui. He is the emperor, and he could have made his own decree, but he also understood the queen mother's jealousy of An Sui, so he praised An Sui in front of the queen mother, and he was also testing the queen mother's meaning, hoping that the queen mother would personally issue an order to promote An Sui. First, it is also to respect the queen mother, and secondly, it is also to block the mouths of the harem people.

But although the Queen Mother didn't mean to give An Sui the title, she stretched out her hand to reward Mei Yan, and Ji Xuanyuan had nothing to say.

Concubine Yan frowned secretly, what is that pair of Mei Yan, the favorite concubine of the previous dynasty, Concubine Zhao's favorite pair of step shakes, the avant-garde Huan Emperor favored Concubine Zhao, and he liked Concubine Zhao to take this pair of step shakes, and there was also a feather crown that matched, and now the feather crown is still in Si Zhen Division. It is not allowed to be used on days other than important ceremonies.

But the Queen Mother rewarded Mei Yan so lightly to a fourth-grade female official.

And An Sui felt more and more terrifying in his heart, and she seemed to be more and more unlike the noble Lin that Ning Guifei said. The court can make people change so much, maybe she resists. The Queen Mother was just one of the people she wanted to resist.
