Chapter 17 No wonder the emperor loves you

6days ago Historical fiction 4
The consequence of a night of indulgence was that Zhou Qiang was late when the concubines greeted the empress dowager the next day.

It is not entirely true that she said she was late. The Empress Dowager summoned her concubines in, and she arrived.

Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was kind and did not blame him.

After ceremonies and tributes to tea, the concubines sat upright and listened to the Queen Mother's discipline. It was nothing else. The old royal family talked about all the time, served the emperor with peace of mind, and spread the branches and leaves for the royal family.

Zhou Qiang took advantage of the gap between listening and training and glanced at Yingying in the same hall. The two concubines were dignified and beautiful, the two concubines were plump and beautiful, and the concubine who was with her was weak and elegant.

There are not many concubines, and they are thin and fat, each with their own characteristics. She secretly laughed in her heart that Xiao Du is very blessed.

After the empress dowager finished instructing her, she started chatting and chatting.A woman with long face, big eyes and plump lips pointed her finger at Zhou Qiang.

Sister Zhou has been a concubine of the former dynasty for three years. Why did the Xin Dynasty miss the time to come late for the first time to pay tribute to the empress dowager?I’m afraid it’s not because of being petty and not taking us sisters seriously?

Logically, the concubines greeted the Empress Dowager, and those with low positions should come earlier than those with high positions to show respect.

Secondly, on the day the emperor was granted a concubine yesterday, he did not summon any concubines to serve him, but Zhou Qiang had been a palace maid in Tai Chi Palace and had been spoiled several times.It is inevitable that people will be jealous.

Sister Geng is serious.I met yesterday, and Zhou Qiang had an impression of this woman, and was Geng, one of the two concubines.

She said respectfully: The old dynasty is past, and now I only have Your Majesty, Empress Dowager and Daqi River land in my eyes and hearts.

After speaking, I knelt down to the Queen Mother. I was not feeling well and asked me to pay my respects late. I asked the Queen Mother to punish me.

The Queen Mother looked at Zhou Qiang, her light green clothes made her look dark and white, her eyebrows and eyes were charming but her expression was correct, without any hypocritical and artificial posture, which made people happy.

She raised her hand, "Good boy, get up quickly, she looks so neat, no wonder the emperor loves you."I looked at Geng again. What is the previous dynasty? When I entered the harem, I was always the emperor's concubine. Sisters should get along well with each other and don't be petty about trivial matters.

The Queen Mother taught me the lesson that I will remember.Concubine Geng bowed in disappointment.

After a while, the little palace servant came in and reported that the emperor came over.

The concubines were secretly happy. Seeing that the emperor looked tired and did not leave many concubines, the empress dowager waved her hand and told everyone to go down.

When Zhou Qiang left the hall, he was pushed and almost fell.

Sister Zhou, is it okay?She raised her eyes and asked when she saw Gengpin smiling.

fine.Zhou Qiang tidied up his clothes and hair, and returned to his reserved and decent posture. He also asked Sister Geng to take a look at him next time.

Geng Pin failed to provoke, but was scolded by the empress dowager. She wanted to go out and tease Zhou Qiang a few times, but accidentally saw the bright red kiss marks on the side of her neck.

The traces are fresh, as if they were lingering with others last night.

But we all know that a few days ago, the selected girls learned the rules in the palace, and Zhou Qiang, as the concubine to be named, was also among them.

The emperor didn't go to any palace last night and rested alone in Zichen Hall.

Then where did her traces come from?

Gengpin's mind was constantly changing, and he thought he had caught Zhou Qiang's handle. He turned his sarcastic words to his mouth and said gently: "My sister is beautiful and kind-hearted, but sister is narrow-minded, don't take it to her heart."

Zhou Qiang suddenly became alert. During the long-term palace days, she did not believe that the concubines had a tit-for-tat confrontation last moment and a gentle and friendly moment.

The enemy is always gentle before revealing their minions.

Last time she suffered a loss and ended up being unable to get pregnant for the rest of her life.

Zhou Qiang did not respond, nodded perfunctorily and turned around and left.

Empress, Zhou Jieyu is so arrogant. You apologize and show kindness to her, but she doesn’t appreciate it.The palace maid was angry.

What's in a hurry?Gengpin said, it was never someone in this palace that laughed well for a while, but whether anyone had any flaws.She whispered a few words to the palace maid and told me to tell me that I must keep an eye on Zhou Qiang.

…………

Xingqing Palace, inside the hall.

The Queen Mother asked someone to go to Yunhua Tea in Hedong. The tea leaves were picked to the clouds and mist on the top of the mountain, which was extremely precious.

She raised her hand and told me, "Try it, what you often drink at home, this year's new tea."As soon as the concubine came over, I was reluctant to take it out and entertained.

Thank you mother.Xiao Du picked it up and took a sip.

Even though he ascended the throne, he still maintained his habit of stealing his residence and privately called the Queen Mother and son.

Did you ask Zhou Qiang to come last night?The queen mother suddenly asked.

Xiao Du was stunned and brought a respectful title, "Mother Queen..."

The Queen Mother curled her lips, look at the green color you are now. Although Zhou Qiang is pink, you can't see it as me, a person who has experienced it... After the woman was happy, there was spring in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and Zhou Qiang's color was even more obvious.

Mother, my son called her over, don’t blame her.Xiao Du said.

The concubines were either in their own bedroom or in the emperor's bedroom. Even if they were making trouble outside, they did not secretly remember Tongshi.

The Queen Mother brushed the tea cover and said seriously: No matter how you spoil her, Rupu, my mother only has one requirement for you.The concubines enter the palace. I will hear the good news in the palace next year. What will happen next year that you will give birth to a grandson for the Ai family!
