Xiao Nianzhi talked in the Empress Dowager's palace until noon, and then stayed for lunch.

The Queen Mother is getting older, and her digestion can't keep up, so her diet is mostly light and soft.

Xiao Nianzhi is actually not particularly picky about what to eat, as long as it is not particularly unpalatable, he can accept it.

Therefore, soft and rotten food is also very good, and it is also very friendly to the stomach and intestines.

After eating, and drinking the soup again, the queen showed tiredness, and Xiao Nianzhi got up and knelt down with a very good look.

The Queen Mother is reluctant to let go of the little girl, but taking a nap has become a habit, she really doesn't sleep, she can't lift her eyelids, and her brain is groggy.

In the end, the little girl simply left with two boxes of snacks and a pair of jewelry.

The Queen Mother just couldn't wait to open the private treasury and let Xiao Nianzhi pick whatever she wanted!

It's just that the things in her library, most of them are old, and they are not particularly suitable for young girls.

Thinking about it like this, the Queen Mother pondered where to go and get some things that young girls liked.

Why don't you send someone out of the palace to take a look?

She thought as she chatted with Aunt Ning.

After Aunt Ning echoed a few words, she euphemistically mentioned Concubine Sun.

At the mention of her, the Queen Mother slapped her high-five: "Ouch, look, I forgot about her, she must have a lot of good things there!"

Concubine Sun's maiden family, which is also a wealthy family, at its peak, is actually about the same as the wealth of the Feng family.

However, I can't stand it, there have been two losers in the family or something.

Rao is like this, and now the family business is also quite rich.

In order to make Concubine Sun feel better in the palace, have a good relationship, and take care of the family, she sent a lot of good things into the palace.

It's just that Concubine Sun only loves food, not fancy clothes and jewelry, so everything is thrown in the private treasury to eat ashes.

In fact, the Queen Mother can also understand Concubine Sun's thoughts, the other party's family was not rich from the beginning, when she entered the palace, she was still from a poor background, and the other party had a nephew who was particularly competitive, and he was self-made and became a powerful person.

However, this nephew has two younger brothers who are not in tune, and the family business has been ruined for a long time, anyway, the Sun family is up and down, and now the main business is not in the capital, but more in the ancestral hometown of Ningzhou.

The Queen Mother thought that the other party had a lot of inventory in her hands and didn't like to dress up, so she went to look at the other party and exchange it for other things.

It's not impossible to pull the Sun family by hand, the emperor's attitude towards merchants is quite lenient, not an imperial businessman, there is no amnesty, it is not easy to be an official, so it should be good to give some other convenience, right?

The Queen Mother thought uncertainly, and then her mind slowly sank.

Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan had just returned to Qinglan Palace, and the queen sent palace people over again and invited her to eat tea and enjoy plums.

Yan Xingxuan was not at ease, he wanted to follow along, and the palace people who came over naturally would not refuse, and they also greeted him in a regular manner, and led the way obediently.

This kind of performance and attitude make Xiao Nianzhi feel ......

The queen shouldn't be a bad person, right?

Moreover, there is no conflict of interest between her and these women, so they won't deal with her, right?

Xiao Nianzhi thought uncertainly, and while his heart was vigilant, he was relaxed.

She felt that she still had double protection, Yan Xingxuan couldn't do it, she also had a boning knife in the delicious kitchen!

It's really annoying her, so let's cool off together!

The queen looked serious, but her tone was quite gentle, and she was like the queen mother, and asked Xiao Nianzhi how about her daily food, is it enough? Do I need anything to add?

Finally, to sum up, it is probably that if there is anything needed, just send someone to tell the palace people in the queen's palace.

The other party's friendly attitude made Xiao Nianzhi feel a lot more at ease.

Therefore, the other party left her for dinner, she looked at Yan Xingxuan quietly, and found that the other party had already picked up the melon seeds, so she nodded with relief.

The queen's eating habits are not much different from the queen mother, although she is not very old, but she wants to

It's not good to come to the stomach, so most of the food you eat is soft and easy to digest.

Although a few classic meat dishes were added, Xiao Nianzhi found that the queen almost didn't eat it, even if the palace people put the vegetables in her bowl, she didn't move.

After eating, he took a box of jewels rewarded by the queen and returned to Qinglan Hall with Yan Xingxuan.

Yan Xingxuan had no intention of commenting on the imperial brother's harem.

What's more, the queen is the master of the middle palace, and it is even more difficult to discuss it in private.

So, on the way back, he didn't say much.

However, looking at his attitude of letting the queen stay and rewarding him, it can be understood that this should not be a troublesome person, or rather, there should not be too much interest between them.

Xiao Nianzhi felt that at most, the queen wanted to win over Yan Xingxuan and side with the prince, so she showed favor to herself.

However, this kind of thing is just to think about.

Xiao Nianzhi felt that if the queen and the crown prince wanted to, this kind of thing would have been done a long time ago, so why wait for her to appear?

Moreover, between her and Yan Xingxuan, it is still between them, everyone knows that their relationship is ambiguous, and their names are unknown, and there is no way to determine them for the time being.

So, wouldn't it be too risky to bet on her?

After thinking about it, Xiao Nianzhi accepted the reward very calmly.

She thought, she has been busy in the palace for so many days, she can't be busy in vain, at least she has to get some money to go back, right?

So, it's a good reward now.

Yan Xingxuan just sent Xiao Nianzhi back, and he was afraid that she would be uneasy in her heart, so he comforted her.

Although he didn't mention the queen at all, the meaning of his words was already very obvious.

That is, just receive the reward with peace of mind and don't have to worry about anything else.

No matter how bad it is, there is still him.

Seeing Xiao Nian's eyebrows and eyes calm, Yan Xingxuan quickly returned to his residence.

Concubine Hui listened, Xiao Nianzhi went to the Queen Mother's Palace today, and then went to the Queen Mother's Palace, and both palaces stayed for food, and her heart was anxious and sour: "Oh, it's time for me to turn tomorrow, right?"

There are not many high-level concubines in the harem, although Your Majesty is a beauty, but he also talks about rules, not who he likes, then he goes directly from the bottom to the top.

Concubine Hui was promoted to the concubine position because she had a prince, and Concubine Xian was also promoted to the concubine position because she had a princess and raised the prince whose mother died early, plus the factor of Jiangnan Qingliu.

Although Concubine Rong has no children, she also raised the prince whose mother died early, and she entered the palace to fight against the previous concubine Shugui, plus her family background is really good, so she was promoted to the concubine position.

Other?

The highest is the concubine, and then the low-level position.

Moreover, don't look at His Majesty's preference for the former Shuguifei, but it is different from the kind of favor that the first emperor gave to the daughter of the Yu family.

The first emperor loved the Yu family very much, and he had been fighting outside for many years, so in addition to the Yu family's daughter, he was actually not interested in the concubine's woman, only occasionally emotional, or drunk, this would spoil others.

It is also because of this that the princes and princesses of the first emperor's harem have a serious age gap.

In the years when the Yu girl was favored, few children were born in the harem.

It's not that the Yu family is domineering, and she doesn't let people live because the first emperor doesn't go to others at all!

However, His Majesty is different now, although he once favored Concubine Shugui, he did not delay him from having children with other concubines.
