C329 Millennium Pine (1/2)
What the empress said made the people around her feel disdainful. Who didn't know how much the empress loved rights? However, the empress dowager nodded in satisfaction and took the empress's hand, saying earnestly, ”In this palace, you're the most sensible.” In the future, This Dowager and the Emperor will have to depend on you for matters of the palace. ”
”Mother, you must be joking. Your body is strong and healthy, come to manage the imperial harem and let your concubine have a rest. That would be for the best. Chenqie doesn't want you to be like the past and not see you for quite some time. ”
When the empress spoke of this, her face was full of grievance, as if she really did not want to part with it.
Her Majesty laughed at this.
At this moment, the main gate of the Hall of Thousand Years opened.
”Muhou, let's enter the Hall of a Thousand Years.” The Queen said.
”Mm, let's go.” The empress dowager said as she walked into the palace. As the two people entered, the others began to enter one by one.
Princess Wuyou was hiding at the back with Mu Rong Yue.
”The empress sure knows how to flatter people.” Princess Wuyou complained to Murong Yue in a low voice. When Mu Ru Yue heard that, she couldn't help but smile. What she had seen all this time was the Queen showing off her power in front of everyone. There weren't many people who were as obedient as she was now. =
From the looks of it, the empress dowager's position in the harem had been completely returned. Even the empress could only back off.
Thinking of this, Mu Ru Yue sighed with emotion.
Everyone entered the palace, and what entered was an old pine tree planted in the center of the palace. It would take about five people to hold on to the pine tree.
It was obvious that he had been here for quite some time.
On the pine tree, there were also many pieces of red silk.
The empress dowager and empress stopped here. The empress brought cushions for the two, and the empress dowager knelt on them to worship the pines. The queen was like her.
Princess Wuyou whispered to Murong Yue, ”This is the origin of the Hall of a Thousand Years. This pine tree is a thousand year old pine tree, and every year, it is celebrated here. However, the only person who can worship this pine tree is the master of the harem. This year it will be the Empress Dowager and Queen. Usually, it was all the empress's own.
Esteemed Empress takes this very seriously. ”
”Oh?” Mu Ru Yue's gaze flickered. A thousand-year-old pine tree? Interesting. These plants that had lived for thousands of years would always have some special characteristics. Humans were also beneficial.
The Yulan wine that she had been wanting to brew recently would be much better if she added in the pine cone. Unfortunately, there were no pine cones this season.
Thinking about this, Mu Ru Yue felt a little disappointed.
”Sister-in-law, what are you thinking?” Princess Wuyou had been staring at Mu Ru Yue the entire time, so she asked curiously when she saw Mu Ru Yue's expression.
”I'm thinking, is there a pine cone on this pine tree?” Mu Ru Yue didn't hide anything.
Pine fruit?
Princess Wuyou thought for a moment before replying, ”There is indeed one like that, but it's all with the empress. Every year's pine cones were held by the empress and distributed to the various palaces. My mother's wife and I didn't have it because we didn't want to deal with her. As for the others, they had probably already eaten up.
What does my royal sister-in-law want this thing for? ”
”It's just some trivial matters. Since there isn't any, it's fine.” Mu Ru Yue asked.
”But, you do have the crown prince. If you really want him, why don't we go find him?” Princess Wuyou suggested. Princess Wuyou knew that Feng Qing liked Mu Ru Yue, but that was exactly the reason. If Mu Ru Yue had gone to look for him, he would definitely agree.
When Mu Ru Yue heard Princess Wuyou's suggestion, her expression darkened. ”Princess, I don't want him to have any connections anymore.”
”Why? But what did royal brother do to you? ” Princess Wuyou asked worriedly.
