Chapter 168: Concubine Ye
To walk from the Yiyun Hall to Jingyang Palace, if you don't take a sedan chair, you need to walk for half an hour.
When they arrived, they were stopped by the little maid in the queen's palace.
"Please wait a moment for Your Highness and the county lord."
Qiqi stood respectfully outside the door, not even daring to say a word.
Even when facing Emperor Qi Ying, Qiqi was not so serious and serious, which shows that the queen's teaching to her has made her have a kind of conditioned reflex.
After waiting outside the door for a while, Ye Lan, the palace maid beside the queen, let them in.
As soon as he entered the side hall, Xu Shu smelled a strong sandalwood fragrance.
On the wall is a colorful carved dragon and phoenix, which makes the side hall a little more colorful, but whether it is the gilded incense burner on the ground or the furnishings next to it, there is a feeling of heavy depression.
As soon as he entered the main hall, not to mention Xu Shu, who came for the first time, even Qiqi was a little confused.
There were eight concubines sitting on either side, and the room was full.
Or Qiqi knelt down first: "Please say hello to the queen mother." ”
Xu Shu also followed her example: "Say hello to the queen." ”
The palace was silent for about five seconds, and then I heard the queen say, "Get up." ”
is similar to the scene Xu Shu saw in the TV series, the two of them were given to sit at the end, and the atmosphere relaxed after a while.
But Xu Shu could feel that everyone's attention was on her.
"Niangniang, when the concubine got up early, I heard... Sister Jin was demoted. ”
A concubine wearing a moon-white palace skirt and a white jade hairpin on her head said.
Her voice was cold, but it was like a small hook, and it made the listener feel numb.
Xu Shu almost immediately determined that this was Emperor Qi Ying's favorite Concubine Ye and Ye Chen's aunt.
There is a gap of more than ten years between Ye Jiao and Ye Chen's father, King Yongyi, so she is only twenty-five or sixteen years old now, and she is very well maintained, and Xu Shu Qiqi, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, looks like an age group.
But sitting on the main seat, the majestic and dignified queen is different.
Xu Shu Qiqi and Concubine Ye seem to be people of the same age, the other concubines look a little more mature, and the queen is older.
There are already a lot of small fine lines on her face, her eyes are not as black and white as those of young people, and she wears a very solemn nine-headed phoenix hairpin on her head, which makes the whole person rigid and old-fashioned.
"This is the emperor's decision, Sister Ye doesn't need to say more."
As the master of the harem, she never allowed other concubines to ask more about His Majesty's affairs.
Concubine Ye took a sip of tea and made a crisp sound when she closed the lid.
"It seems that Niangniang doesn't know the inside story, so when His Majesty comes to the palace of the concubine in the evening, the concubine will ask again."
The queen's face turned ugly all of a sudden, today is fifteen, and it stands to reason that His Majesty should stay in her Jingyang Palace, but listening to Concubine Ye's meaning, His Majesty has already promised to go to her palace.
Is His Majesty really not even giving her this respect?
Concubine Ye didn't care about the queen's face, she stood up after she finished speaking, and the little palace maid on the side was prostrate on the ground to arrange her skirt for her.
"The concubine is tired, so she will leave first."
After speaking, he didn't wait for the queen to speak, and walked away with the little palace maid's hand.
There was silence in the main hall, and the others didn't even dare to come out.
"Oh yes," Ye Jiao took two steps and turned back, "Since that slut queen likes it, then it's better to stay, and you can be a companion with your mother, isn't it." ”
Ye Lan, who was standing beside the queen with her head hanging down, did not react.
Ye Jiao snorted coldly: "Wood." ”
Xu Shu's buttocks hurt, Qiqi pinched her hand, and the two of them glanced at each other with a wry smile.
Just such a small action was noticed by Ye Jiao.
She originally wanted to stab Qiqi by the way and embarrass the queen.
But...
As soon as her gaze was off, Xu Shu's face flashed in front of her eyes.
Ye Jiao's neck stiffly fixed at an angle.
