Chapter 295
Naturally, I understood what Qingying was thinking at this moment.
She sighed softly and patted Qingying, "Forget it. After all, you have your aunt to protect you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yu's voice was heard outside.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The Queen Mother raised her eyes to look at Qingying, but saw that the other party's expression remained unchanged.
Nodded secretly.
Turning around again, he saw Hongli striding in.
His face seemed full of anxiety.
"My son, please pay your respects to the Queen Mother."
The Empress Dowager excused herself from the formalities. Hongli stood up and approached. "I had just finished the morning court when I heard from Li Yu that Qingying was unwell. I hurried here. How is she now? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Qingying smiled and said, "My servants are so talkative. I am just a title, how can I be so precious?"
"The Emperor is busy with government affairs, so there is really no need for him to make this trip."
"Government affairs are busy, but I don't mind a moment's delay. I heard that the Empress Dowager has been here for a long time. I'm sure she must be tired, right?"
"I am fine, Your Majesty, don't worry."
The imperial physician responded, then stood up and said, "Since the Emperor is with the Empress, I will return to Shoukang Palace. It's time to worship the Buddha today."
"Yes, my son is sending it to the Empress Dowager."
After the mother and son left the bedroom, the empress dowager frowned again.
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground outside, the Queen Mother said, "Didn't I tell you long ago that the Queen is fine and that all the concubines should go back? Why are you still kneeling here?"
The Shufei comes first.
Upon hearing this, she kowtowed to the Queen Mother and said, "In reply to your words, the Queen Mother is ill, but with the Queen Mother taking care of her, I am naturally relieved and will return to the palace."
"But Sister Zhaopin said that she was worried about the Queen's health and insisted on waiting here. Naturally, I had no choice but to accompany her."
"Oh?"
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows and said, "Zhaopin is thoughtful, but the Queen is already well now, so why burden the six palaces with the same suffering? Everyone, go back."
"Yes."
When the Queen Mother spoke, no one dared to contradict her.
The concubines in the six palaces all agreed and left Jingren Palace.
The empress dowager also moved her feet and turned to look at Hongli who was following beside her.
"Although Zhaopin has only been in the palace for a short time, she is extremely respectful to the Empress. It is a blessing for the entire palace to have such a concubine as a role model."
Hongli looked delighted.
He originally wanted to promote Concubine Zhao, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother also had such a good impression of her.
"What the Empress Dowager said is true. Although Concubine Zhao comes from a noble family, she never behaves arrogantly. Her son seems to be doing well too."
The Queen Mother nodded slightly. "That's right, it's just a pity that the previous child was lost. If it weren't for that, Zhaopin would have been worthy of the title of Concubine by now."
Hongli's expression changed.
He also thought of the dragon fetus that was aborted because Concubine Zhao insisted on going to the Old Summer Palace with her.
"What the Empress Dowager said is true. Although she is respectful, she is not cautious enough. It just so happens that she is the one who is organizing the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet. Let's wait and see."
"It's good that the emperor has thought it through."
When Qingying recovers, the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet will be just around the corner.
It was early in the morning on August 15th, before dawn.
Qingying got up early and dressed up.
When I stepped into the main hall, the concubines from the six palaces were already seated.
Qingying spared everyone the formality of greeting and glanced around the entire audience.
There are still too few people.
In addition, the three pregnant women were far away in the Old Summer Palace. Apart from himself, the only people sitting in the hall at this moment were old friends.
The number of concubines in the six palaces seems pitifully small.
"Princess Wan and the two noble ladies are far away in the garden. Now our harem seems a little deserted."
"With the Empress in charge of the harem, you sisters have a pretty good time. How could you feel lonely?"
Concubine Hui was afraid of heat, so even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, her clothes were not made of warm materials.
It still looks fragile.
But now when she smiles, the corners of her eyes are not as smooth as before.
Although he is not very old, he looks a bit old.
"Sister Huifei is right. I also think that life like this is really pleasant."
Even with such flattering words, only high-ranking concubines were qualified to speak.
