Gyeongin Palace.

Although it was not yet three o'clock in the morning, Concubine Qi, Concubine Ning, Concubine Mao, Niu Hulu Nobles, Geng Nobles, and Guo Guiren had already arrived, waiting under the veranda of the main hall, waiting for the summons of the Middle Palace.

When Yao Jiaxin, who was a little short of breath, arrived, she saw that the platform was already full of people, she had seen Concubine Mao and Concubine Ning, the beautiful woman in her thirties wearing a silver-red satin flag dress that was almost red, with a slight arrogance between her eyebrows and eyes, faintly the head of everyone under the corridor, it was obvious that this should be the head of the Chengqian Palace who sat on all the children of His Majesty the Fourth Master - Concubine Qi Li.

And the other three nobles, Niu Hulu and Geng, she has seen them, and there is also a woman wearing autumn fragrance Ruyi shoulders, standing beside Ning Concubine, low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, no matter how they look or dress, they are not outstanding, obviously this is Guo Guiren.

Yao Jiaxin hurriedly wiped the sweat on her head, walked quickly to the platform, and first saluted the highest-ranking people in the crowd: "Concubine Qi Niangniang Jin'an, Concubine Mao Niang Wanfu, Ning Concubine Niangniang Wanfu." ”

Concubine Qi stood on the platform, stepping on the three-inch-high flowerpot bottom shoes, enough to look down on Yao Jiaxin under the platform, she covered the corners of her lips and laughed out loud, "This palace thought that Yao Guiren would not come to ask for peace today!" ”

Yao Jiaxin also knew that she was a little late, although she didn't miss the three quarters of the hour, but she came later than Concubine Qi and Concubine Ning, which was indeed a bit rude.

As the former lord, Concubine Mao had to stand up and say two good words: "Sister Concubine Qi, Yao Gui is weak and naturally walks slowly." ”

Concubine Qi snorted lightly, "Since you are weak and sick, you should stay in the Yongshou Palace and raise it, what are you going to do when you come out?!" ”

Yao Jiaxin: Do you think I don't want to stay at home? But she also understood that Concubine Qi was angry, not because she didn't come early enough to invite An, but because she ...... It was His Majesty the Fourth Master who sent a message to Jingshifang and hung up her green head card.

To put it bluntly, it's jealousy.

Yao Jiaxin lowered her head and didn't speak, in the face of a jealous woman, no matter how you explain it, it's useless.

Fortunately, at this time, the palace door of Jingren Palace finally opened slowly, and a six-rank eunuch wearing a navy python suit walked out, shook off the dust, and said loudly: "The queen mother invites all the little masters to enter the palace to meet you!" ”

Concubine Qi suppressed her anger, took a reserved look at Longhua, and took the lead in the hall, followed by Concubine Mao and Concubine Ning. Yao Jiaxin was going to enter the hall at the end, but found that Niu Hulu, Geng and Guo were all there, looking at her.

Yao Jiaxin suddenly understood, yes, she actually became the head of the four nobles??

I had no choice but to smile politely, walk quickly behind the concubine, and enter the hall.

This is the first time Yao Jiaxin has seen the queen, and she is almost the same as she imagined, in her early thirties, richly dressed, graceful and elegant, not very beautiful, but very stylish.

The concubines saw the big gift neatly, and said in unison: "The queen is wishful of Jin'an." ”

The queen was dignified, sitting on the throne of the red sandalwood dragon and phoenix, she raised her hand slightly, "Flat, give the seat!" ”

There are also rules for this time, the first position on the left is the most respectful, which naturally belongs to Concubine Qi, followed by the first on the right and the second on the left, which belong to Concubine Mao and Concubine Ning respectively.

And Yao Jiaxin's position ...... Since the three nobles were humble before, she naturally sat in the position second only to Concubine Mao and Concubine Ning, ranking second on the right.

Then there were Niu Hulu nobles, Geng nobles, and Guo nobles sat on the last chair.

Everyone sat down, and the four palace maids held a small black lacquer tea tray to offer tea, and the mud gold enamel Kui Feng small tea cup landed steadily on the small tea table with rosewood moire between the two seats. Then, the palace maid bent her knees and retreated, and the rules and etiquette were neat, which can be called a model.

Yao Jiaxin was apprehensive and did not rush to use tea, for fear of being criticized by the queen Liangliang.

However, the queen didn't seem to notice that there were more people asking for peace today, and looked at Concubine Qi Li as usual: "The third elder brother has been getting better recently?" ”

Concubine Qi held the teacup and was not in a hurry to reply, but took a sip slowly, and then said lightly: "Thank you for the queen's concern, Hongyun is no longer in trouble, and you can go back to the study tomorrow to study." ”

"That's good!" The queen bowed slightly, with a motherly attitude, "This is all thanks to your careful care." ”

Concubine Qi pursed the corners of her mouth and said, "The concubine is Hongyun's biological mother, how can she not be careful?" ”

Yao Jiaxin said secretly, Concubine Qi's words were clearly satirizing the queen, the nominal mother-in-law, and she didn't really care about Hongyun.

Concubine Qi was arrogant, and she expected it, after all, the only two princes were born by Concubine Qi, and in addition, there were so many concubines in the six palaces, none of them had children. Of course, Concubine Qi has a hard waist, but Concubine Qi's position is not stable, one is that His Majesty the Fourth Master has long since stopped favoring Concubine Qi, and the other is ...... is about to be removed, and sooner or later there will be other concubines to give birth to children for His Majesty the Fourth Master.

The queen didn't look angry, she was still dignified and gentle, and a different color suddenly flashed in her danfeng eyes, "The emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, and he has never visited Chengqian Palace in person, Concubine Qi, don't go to your heart, the emperor is thinking about you and the third elder brother in his heart." ”

These words seemed to be comforting, but in fact, they made Concubine Qi lose face.

The emperor is busy with court affairs? If you are really busy, you will go to Yongshou Palace every three or five days, and you will go for most of the day!

Feeling Concubine Qi's chilling gaze, Yao Jiaxin sighed in her heart, she knew that this time she would not pass the test easily.

The queen's gaze also shifted to the trend, and she swept Yao Jiaxin up and down as if she was looking at an object, before she said slowly: "Yao Guiren is in good health?" ”

Yao Jiaxin hurriedly stood up and paused: "Thank you for the queen's concern, it's much better." ”

The queen said softly "um" and said: "Looking at the complexion, it is indeed much better than when I was in Xianfu Palace, it can be seen that the atmosphere of Yongshou Palace is good, and the people are getting better quickly." ”

At this moment, the old face of the concubine, the lord of Xianfu Palace, was a little unhappy.

Yao Jiaxin had to give this queen a liking and a lid, looking at the hatred in one hand, it was called a steady!

Yao Jiaxin raised her head and looked at the queen with a smile: "I really didn't expect that the queen still remembered how the concubine looked when she was in Xianfu Palace, and the concubine was really flattered." Since it's useless to pretend to be cowardly with low eyebrows, then shy!

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Mao suddenly understood that the queen was deliberately provoking her relationship with Yao Jia's family, but she was the queen, how could she always remember a noble person who was not favored? !

There was a flash of anger in the queen's eyes, but she quickly covered it up, and then smiled slightly, "This palace is the lord of the six palaces, so I naturally remember whether the sisters in the harem are okay or not." ”

Concubine Qi immediately smiled and said: "The queen mother is really virtuous and capable, unlike the concubines, who are busy just taking care of a few children, and they don't have time to take care of your sisters." ”

Yao Jiaxin: Concubine Qi means that the queen has no children to take care of, so she can only take care of the harem concubines. This taunt is very powerful! The queen can endure not beating people, and she is quite enduring!

But the queen's smile could no longer be maintained, and her phoenix eyes were cool: "If Concubine Qi feels that taking care of her brother is too hard, she can be sent to this palace, as a queen, it is the right thing to take care of the emperor's heirs!" ”

At this moment, Concubine Qi's face also changed, and she gritted her teeth: "Thank you for the kindness of the queen, although the concubine is hard, but the hard work of being a mother is not a blessing from God?" I won't bother you! ”

Yao Jiaxin: What a wonderful tear!
