My host is over the wall again

Chapter 361
The nanny asked worriedly, "Madam, I heard that the emperor didn't stay in Weiyang Palace last night?"

Mammy was worried that she was overthinking, so she lowered her voice and asked cautiously, but Qinglan didn't care and responded casually, "No."

Mammy slapped herself, "It's all the old slave's fault. I shouldn't have fallen asleep last night. If the old slave was here, I could at least give my mother some advice."

Qinglan: "..." She didn't want to.

Mammy asked again, "What is the emperor's attitude? Have you said whether he will come tonight?"

"I don't know."

Mammy looked distressed, but it was already late and she had to go to see the Queen Mother. Mammy asked the maid to come in and help Qinglan dress and wash herself.

But the goblin doesn't like being served by others, she really doesn't know how to wear it except for the complicated palace attire, and she can do everything else by herself.

Qiyan Palace is the residence of Empress Dowager Qi Ci. Originally, the Empress paid her respects to the Empress Dowager on the first day she entered the palace. She was supposed to come with the Emperor, but when she thought about the Emperor who had left on the wedding night, she felt that her mother was still herself. It's better to come.

If he wanted to wait until the emperor came to pick her up, he might not even have to give her this cup of greeting tea today.

Qinglan came to Qiyan Palace, probably because she was treated coldly on her wedding night, and these court ladies didn't look at her with much respect.

"The empress dowager is already waiting inside, empress empress, let's go in."

Qinglan didn't respond, and walked directly into Qiyan Palace.

When Qinglan entered the palace, she saw Empress Dowager Qi Ci sitting on the bed, with a maid beside her pinching her shoulders.

Empress Dowager Qi Ci's hair was combed neatly, although she was not wearing formal clothes, she gave off a dignified look.

At first glance, she looks like a very powerful woman.

Qinglan has heard about the deeds of this empress dowager. It is said that the former emperor died suddenly, and the palace was troubled by internal and external troubles.

Now the emperor was not born to Empress Dowager Qi Ci. Empress Dowager Qi Ci was originally a Concubine Ci. She was named Empress Dowager only after the emperor ascended the throne.

The relationship between Empress Dowager Qi Ci and the current emperor seems to be loving and filial, but in fact it is a mutual check and balance.

Empress Dowager Qi Ci is not a woman who is willing to stay in the harem, she longs for power.

But the emperor has been on the throne for more than a year, and gradually stabilized the hearts of the people. It will not be so easy for Qi Ci to control the emperor after the empress dowager.

After Qinglan greeted her, she obediently stood aside.

When Empress Dowager Qi Ci saw Qing Lan coming in, she just raised her eyelids and took a glance.

"It looks pretty."

Qinglan remained silent, mumbling an old witch secretly in her heart.

"How is Captain Yuan?"

Qinglan raised her eyes and glanced at the queen mother, who squinted her eyes, but her eyes were indifferent.

But it would be too abnormal for her to ask how her father was doing as soon as they met, right?
Or she wanted to use herself as a pawn to contact her father.

Qinglan's face was slightly cold, but fortunately, her expression was relatively cold, and everyone didn't notice it.

"pretty good."

"Well, let your mother come into the palace to accompany you when you have time, and by the way, I can chat with Ai's family."

The empress dowager's thoughts are clearly revealed.

Qinglan responded casually.

A servant's shrill voice came from outside, "The emperor is here—"

Empress Dowager Qi Ci glanced at Qinglan, but Qinglan's expression remained unchanged.

At this point, the emperor should have just returned from court.

Xiao Yu walked into Qiyan Palace, his eyes fell on Qing Lan, and he greeted the Queen Mother as if nothing had happened.

Empress Dowager Qi Ci didn't care about Qinglan's presence at all, and asked straightforwardly, "I heard that the emperor didn't stay overnight in Weiyang Palace last night?"
