Chapter 1: The Empress Dowager of the Red Chamber (1)

Next Chapter

The dormitory of Ci'an Palace

"The Queen Mother, have you freshened up?

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother are coming to say hello! ”

Mama Qi saw that the Empress Dowager had been sitting in front of the bronze mirror for a long time, and she was worried that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager would come over to ask for peace, and it was a little inappropriate to let them wait outside, so she hurriedly lowered her head and asked.

Qiao Mu was reminded by her, and then he pressed the anger of the leader pit, and immediately entered the role:

"Let them in, let's make some simple makeup today, and the clothes will be more plain!"

"No!"

Mama Qiao bowed her head and answered.

Then he turned sideways, waved his hand, and signaled the palace maids waiting in the side hall to come in quickly.

Jade basin brocade cloth, warm cotton yarn, cleansing cream, beauty plum powder and other things are readily available, all of which are the top tributes paid by imperial merchants from all over the world, and some are even difficult to use when the queen mother.

Although everything is top-notch, and the service is considerate, Qiao Mu couldn't be happy when he looked at the wrinkles on his face and his seventy-eight-year-old body.

She really didn't expect that the leader said that the pension task was such a pension method, originally she thought that the so-called pension task was no requirement, as long as she lived a comfortable life.

As a result, I never thought that it was a real pension!

Fortunately, the original body has low requirements, and I just hope to be able to restrain my mother's behavior and keep my mother's family.

This task is completely trivial to Qiao Mu, so it can be regarded as soothing a little dissatisfaction in his heart.

Half an hour later, Qiao Mu was served by a group of palace maids, from top to bottom, from hair to nail tips all looked new, although she had asked for something simpler, but in this world, the simpler it was, the more difficult it was to do.

It's like plain makeup is always harder to do than heavy makeup.

"Hello to the Empress Dowager!

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother and the concubines are already waiting outside the palace, are they summoned? ”

As soon as Qiao Mu finished dressing up, a female official outside the hall hurriedly came in and bent her knees slightly.

"Let them wait in the Anping Palace!

Let's go too! ”

Qiao Mu stretched out his left hand as he spoke, and Mama Qiao on the side hurriedly stepped forward, respectfully stretched out her hands to support Qiao Mu's left hand, and helped her up.

At this time, a palace maid on the side packed up her things and quickly retreated, and another team of palace maids also walked in quietly, following behind Qiao Mu and Qiao Mama, and went to Anping Palace.

Anping Hall is not far from the dormitory, and Qiao Mu is too lazy to sit on the phoenix, so he and Mama Qiao walked slowly and leisurely over there, and walked for about ten minutes before entering Anping Palace.

As soon as I entered the palace gate, I didn't see the inside of the main hall, and there was a jagged voice asking the empress dowager to say goodbye.

Qiao Mu raised his eyes and looked, good guy, there are nearly 100 Yingying Yanyan in this hall, the Queen Mother is followed by a group of concubines, and the Queen is followed by a group of concubines, the two teams stand left and right, bend their knees slightly together to say goodbye, but it doesn't look noisy.

"Let's get flat!"

Qiao Mu waved his hand to make a gesture, so that the Yingyan flattened, and sat on the main seat of the Anping Hall under the support of Mama Qiao and the female commander.

"I'm tired of you coming to see the mourning family, the mourning family is finally more popular today!

Yesterday, I heard that my son was sick, but is it still safe? ”

Qiao Mu's identity is there, no matter how bad the words are, they can't say anything, but they have to ask for sins and don't often come to visit and ask for peace.

At this time, he asked about the emperor's body, so the queen mother naturally had to get up quickly and salute and confess:

"It's my fault, I will come to the mother's harem to ask for peace in the future, and I hope that the queen mother will not be bothered!

His Majesty was greedy for a cup and drunk at night, and occasionally felt cold, and yesterday in the middle of the night he had sent the imperial doctor to see the pulse, took medicine and fell asleep, and wanted to come to this morning to be much better!

I am guilty of not being fully responsible! ”

"What is your sin, how can you persuade him to not cherish his body and covet the cup?

Get up, don't come every day, just come here on the fifteenth day of the new year! ”

Qiao Mu felt that this queen mother was not bad, she came over once a month, and she did her duty, far less arrogant than that of Concubine Zhen, so her attitude was better, and she didn't mean to blame.

As soon as Qiao Mu's words were finished, there was a announcement of the arrival of the Emperor Taishang outside the hall, and everyone in the hall suddenly got up quickly, and bowed down respectfully towards the door of the main hall, saying that the Emperor was safe.

Only Qiao Mu did not move.

I have to say that although this body is a little older, its status and identity are really refreshing.

It can be said that it has really reached the point where no one can be courteous, and the Queen Mother has to be courteous when she sees the emperor's husband who is not dead.

The concubines came in and didn't let the concubines get up, but bowed down to the arbor first:

"Yesterday's events have made the queen mother tired!

It's my fault! ”

"You are also so old, one day if you can strictly follow the Yellow Emperor's way of health preservation, I won't bother!

Sit down! ”

Qiao Mu glanced at him, and then motioned to the female official next to him to move the dragon chair that had been dusted for a long time, so that her cheap son, the emperor, could sit down.

"Get up!

Well...... What about Zhen Mi?

Why didn't she come? Is it a sick one? ”

The family didn't rush to sit down, first let the people below or bend their knees, or kneel down, and then glanced at it, only to find that Zhen Mi had not come.

Asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, today Sister Zhen sent someone over to say that she was sick and felt a little cold, so she couldn't come over to say goodbye, and I couldn't force it!"

Empress Dowager Xi's expression and tone were much more indifferent at this moment, obviously she was also very dissatisfied with Concubine Zhen, and she had no choice but to talk about her lame reasons.

"Feeling a little chilly?

Then she will also send me bird's nest porridge this morning!

It's healing so fast!

Since she is sick, let her be sealed in the palace for a month to recuperate, so as not to fall ill! ”

The apprentice had just heard some illegal news about the Zhen family, and now he found that he, the concubine he had always loved, dared not to come to his mother to ask for peace when he was sick, how arrogant and unfilial he was.

Self-punishment vents dissatisfaction.

"No! Obey the Divine Commandment! ”

Although Empress Dowager Xi's tone of response was still calm, Qiao Mu could vaguely see her eyebrows and eyes fluttering from a distance.

Obviously, this Empress Dowager Xi also disliked the arrogance of the original Concubine Zhen, but it was only because the other party was deeply favored that it was not easy to punish.

"But what's wrong with the Zhen family?

A grandmother's family has ascended to the sky in one step, and now she is in this position, is there still dissatisfaction?

I don't see how much you treat your uncle's family! ”

Qiao Mu thought, anyway, this old lady's task will be completed sooner or later, so it is better to simply start first, or meddle in the management of her mother's affairs.

It's not bad to start with the Zhen family.
