In the blink of an eye, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in three days.

The palace is already lit up to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

At the end of the year, there are many things to be handled in the harem, and Queen Chu is also a lot busier than before, in addition to the arrangement of various matters, there are also rewards from various palaces.

And at this time of year, the concubines and princesses are always the most diligent in coming to the palace of Queen Chu to ask for peace. In addition to taking into account the number of courtesies, I also want to show my face more, so that the rewards can be more generous in the future.

At noon, Yun Qingyan finished his breakfast and wandered to the palace of Queen Chu, thinking about seeing if there was anything he could do to help.

It's just that before she could say a few words to Queen Chu, the palace maid reported that someone had come to ask for peace again.

This time, there were several concubines led by Concubine Shu, and at the same time Yun Xiyue.

"The concubine has seen the queen's mother." Concubine Shu and several other concubines bowed to the virgin queen.

And Yun Xiyue also blessed her body with them, but a pair of eyes looked directly at Yun Qingyan who came with Queen Chu.

"No need to be polite, sit down!" Empress Chu nodded, her expression dignified, but she was a little less tolerant and easy-going than before.

In addition to the concubines, the other concubines have been in the palace for a relatively short time, and their status is not too high, so most of them sit in a regular manner and do not say anything.

And Concubine Shu originally had some awkwardness with Queen Chu because of the previous incident, but now looking at Queen Chu, her eyes turned slightly, and then she said with a smile: "In the future, there should be a lot of people in the queen's palace who come to say goodbye, we will come over today, and we won't disturb the queen, right?" ”

"Concubine Shu is too worried, you come here today to say goodbye, naturally it is your heart." Empress Chu's tone was lukewarm.

"It's good that the queen doesn't think we're annoying." Saying that, Concubine Shu paused for a moment, and then continued, "A few days ago, I had some unpleasantness with the queen mother because of the matter of the concubine's younger brother, but now that I think about it, I only feel that I was really ignorant at that time, and I hope that the queen mother has a lot of things, so she can not be as knowledgeable as the concubine." Here, the concubine can't compensate the queen. ”

Concubine Shu stood up and made a palace salute to Queen Chu, as if she really wanted to apologize to her sincerely.

After all, there are so many concubines present, and Concubine Shu has taken the lead in asking for peace, so Queen Chu naturally will not continue to stiffen.

"The previous thing has passed, so there is no need to mention it anymore, everyone is in the harem, they are all sisters, and there is some friction on weekdays, which is naturally normal. It's good to say it, as long as you get along in harmony and don't add chaos to the emperor and the harem. ”

"What the queen said is that the concubines must remember these words, and then be cautious in their words and deeds, and they will definitely not cause any trouble because of their whims." Concubine Shu hurriedly responded.

"Okay, Sister Shufei doesn't have to be so formal, sit down."

"Concubine, thank you to the queen." Concubine Shu nodded, sat down on the chair on the side, glanced at Queen Chu, and slowly moved her gaze to Yun Qingyan on the side.

"Speaking of which, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, now she is really getting better and better-looking, and with the reputation of being the first talented woman, the queen mother is really a blessing, which really makes me envious."

"Yes, what the lady said is right, the queen is indeed a good blessing."

"That's right, the eldest princess is famous, and it's no wonder that she is deeply loved by the emperor and the queen."

Several other concubines hurriedly agreed, and these words of praise for Yun Qingyan only sounded very harsh to Yun Xiyue.

Oh, the status is noble, the name is famous, the appearance is outstanding, all the praise is on the head of Yun Qingyan alone, and it is really enviable!

Although Empress Chu didn't know why Concubine Shu's attitude changed so much, she naturally smiled at this time: "Look at what you said, she is afraid that the praise of this class will make her unsure of the importance of saying too much." ”

"Queen Mother, what we are saying is just the truth, among the princesses, the eldest princess can be said to be outstanding, like a concubine who has no children and no daughters under her knees, and she does not have such a good blessing as the queen mother, and she is envious in her heart on weekdays." Concubine Shu continued to praise.

Yun Qingyan secretly raised her eyebrows in her heart, although she didn't know why Concubine Shu's attitude changed so much all of a sudden, but she always felt a little weird.

"Thank you, mothers, but you're too famous."

"Don't be modest, eldest princess, after all, we all see this." Concubine Shu paused, "Speaking of which, the eldest princess is not young anymore, and it won't be long before the emperor chooses a fast son-in-law for the eldest princess." ”

"Yes, the eldest princess is so deeply loved by the emperor, I'm afraid that no matter who you want to be your husband, as long as you open your mouth, the emperor will definitely agree."

With a bang, the teacup in Yun Xiyue's hand was heavily placed on the table beside her, interrupting the others who were about to speak.

Everyone looked at Yun Xiyue, and one of the concubines smiled: "Of course, the third princess is also very good, and now she has a marriage contract with An Shizi, and when they get married, they can naturally be regarded as a complete sentence." ”

Concubine Shu looked at Yun Xiyue's appearance, and sneered in her heart, but she pretended to be in agreement with her face: "That's right, the marriage of the third princess is now settled, but speaking of which, there was a marriage contract between An Shizi and the eldest princess before." It was the eldest princess who took the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, so if you count it up, the third princess should also thank the eldest princess. ”

"Thanks? What is my main thanks? Isn't it thanks to her for giving this marriage contract to the princess? Yun Xiyue looked at Concubine Shu coldly, and her tone was full of displeasure.

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, "What is the third princess doing so angry, this palace is just talking about a fact." ”

"Okay, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and at this moment, everyone must be in harmony and don't give birth to anything wrong." Saying that, Queen Chu looked at Yun Xiyue again, "If there is any shortage in this year's Zhilan Palace, you can report it, and this palace will definitely let people make proper arrangements." ”

"Then thank you Queen." Yun Xiyue's tone was cold.

"What kind of attitude is this of the third princess, the queen mother is very kind." Concubine Shu spoke again.

"Is there anything wrong with Princess Ben's attitude, isn't it possible that I still have to kneel down and kowtow to thank Dade now?"

Oh, although her mother is gone, she is still a dignified third princess, and now in their eyes, she has become a wagging tail and begging for mercy?

A little favor and a little favor hope that I am grateful to Dade, it is simply a dream.

Listening to Yun Xiyue's words, Queen Chu's face also showed a little dissatisfaction, but in the end she endured it.

"These are the responsibilities of this palace, so naturally I don't need you to thank you."
