C316 Her majesty was unhappy and helpless (1/2)
Rong'er said in his heart: Life in the palace will always be a bit unsatisfactory, just like my relationship with Her Majesty. It has been more than twenty years since I entered the palace, and Her Majesty has always been plain and indifferent to me. I know that Her Majesty is filial, but I don't know how I can enter Her Majesty's heart. It's also my life!
”Chenqie pays respects to the empress dowager!” All the concubines paid their respects to the Empress Dowager.
Since the empress dowager believed in the Buddha, she didn't like the liveliness of the palace, so when the Grand Empress Dowager was alive, the daily greeting system for the Emperor was changed as well, with everyone paying their respects once a week. As for Xiushan, due to her filial piety, she went to the empress dowager's place a little more often, and her daughter, who was related to the empress dowager, was raised by the empress dowager as well. Everyone else was there, but not everyone wanted to go, since the empress dowager didn't see much of the affairs of the empress dowager.
”All of you, sit down!” Her Majesty looked at her concubines.
Everyone sat down, and the empress dowager raised her head to look at Imperial Concubine De. ”Imperial Concubine De, last night, Wen Xian was sick.
”Ah?” Wen Xian is sick? Is it serious? ” The Imperial Concubine De asked anxiously.
”Don't worry, it's fine, it's fine. The imperial physician said that he had taken the medicine for the fever. I just want to see you.” Her Majesty still spoke gently.
”Then chenqie can relax. I'll go see her in a while.” Imperial Concubine De hurriedly replied.
”Sigh!” The Emperor sent some food over yesterday for the North Korean tribute. He was unwilling to part with the food, so he left it for his brother and sister. You can bring some back to Yin Zhen and Rou Hui later so that she won't think too much of it. ” The empress dowager chuckled.
”Thank you, empress dowager, for your grace.” Imperial Concubine De stood up and replied.
”That's right, Imperial Concubine Rong, I heard that this time the Emperor is bringing you along with him?” The Empress turned to Rong'er, her voice no longer gentle.
”Reporting to the empress dowager, yes, the main thing is to bring chenqie to see Rong Xian.” Rong'er hurriedly replied.
”It's not wrong to look at your daughter, but the tens of women in this palace can't possibly only bring you along every time the emperor goes out. This Dowager thinks that you shouldn't be an ignorant person, right?” Her Majesty spoke politely, but her tone was tinged with dissatisfaction.
”Yes, chenqie will ask the emperor to bring a few more sisters with him.” Rong'er respectfully replied.
”Yes, the Imperial Concubine Yi, Imperial Concubine De and Xiu Shan all have princes that wish to raise them, so they shouldn't travel too far. Can the Imperial Concubine Wen and the Imperial Concubine Hui make a request to the Emperor?” The empress dowager looked at Wen and Hui'er only to see that the Imperial Concubine Wen was absent-minded. She raised her voice and said in a heavy voice, ”Imperial Concubine Wen!”
