After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

According to the ancestral system, after the death of the previous emperor, if the prince born out of wedlock ascended the throne, the empress and the biological mother of the new emperor could be conferred the title of empress dowager at the same time.

For example, Zong Zhengxi's position in the harem has not changed because the emperor is still alive. But once the emperor passes away, the queen and Concubine Li will both become empress dowagers.

It is for this reason that Meng Qianqian wondered why the emperor did not promote her biological mother.

The Supreme Emperor was not a puppet emperor when he was in power. He held real power, and no one could force him unless he himself was unwilling.

Meng Qianqian couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

She would not worry about other people's family affairs since she had not yet avenged herself. It was not like the retired emperor's biological mother was anyone to her.

The next step was to go to Kunning Palace, but we walked for a long time but still couldn’t get there.

Tan Er then said, "Sister, the palace is so big!"

Meng Qianqian nodded. The emperor’s house was indeed big.

"Whoa!"

Baoshu pointed to a small flower on the roadside.

"Flowers." Meng Qianqian said to her.

"Flowers." Baoshu learned it in one go. She twisted her little butt and got down from Meng Qianqian's arms and picked the flowers.

The little baby's hands were sometimes really fast, even Meng Qianqian didn't have time to react.

"Eunuch Quan."

Meng Qianqian looked at Xiaoquanzi.

Xiaoquanzi smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, it's okay, the flowers in the Imperial Garden were picked by Miss Baoshu."

Meng Qianqian: You've caused trouble.

As expected, upon hearing that they were picked, Baoshu immediately threw away the flowers in her hand and stumbled towards the largest and most colorful peony.

"Whoa!"

Hers, hers, all hers!

Xiaoquanzi was about to cry.

The Queen's Peony——

Meng Qianqian hurried to pull the little guy out of the flowers, but she still had to pick up three flowers, one in her left hand, one in her right hand, and one in her mouth.

Looking at Xiaoquanzi whose calves were trembling, Meng Qianqian hugged Baoshu and said, "I will apologize to the Queen in person. I will bear all the consequences. Eunuch Quan doesn't need to worry."

Xiaoquanzi was as if she had been pardoned: "Thank you very much, ma'am!"

In Kunning Palace, Meng Qianqian met the queen, who was the mother of the country.

This is Meng Qianqian's second time to come to Kunning Palace.

The queen's attire today was obviously more formal than last time. She wore a bright yellow phoenix robe, a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head, delicate makeup on her face, and a phoenix bracelet on her wrist that symbolized her status.

This also shows how much the Queen values ​​Meng Qianqian.

"Your humble servant Meng pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and long life."

Meng Qianqian performed the ceremony of bowing in a dignified and graceful manner, smoothly and gracefully, without a single mistake to be found.

Baoshu was too young to perform the formal ceremony, so Banxia held her in her arms and verbally greeted the queen.

The Queen said, "Stand up."

Meng Qianqian said: "I dare not. I have picked the Queen's flowers. Please punish me, Queen."

The queen's gentle eyes swept over Baoshu who was holding the flowers tightly: "It is a blessing for them to be liked by Baoshu. Biyun, take Baoshu to pick flowers."

Baoshu: “Wow!”

Seeing that the Queen's love for Baoshu did not seem fake, Meng Qianqian nodded and let Banxia follow the lady-in-waiting Biyun.

The nanny beside the queen personally helped Meng Qianqian up.

Meng Qianqian thanked again.

The queen looked at Tan'er beside her and said, "You must be Tan'er."

Tan Er tilted her head: "Empress, do you still remember me?"

The head nanny beside the queen laughed and said, "Who wouldn't remember such a courageous girl?"

The queen nodded.

Tan Er laughed: "My Queen, you are so beautiful today!"

The Queen is the successor of the retired Emperor. She is only 25 years old this year, 10 years younger than Concubine Li. However, as the mother of a country, she has to uphold the demeanor of a Queen. Moreover, she is too young, so in order to suppress the more experienced concubines in the harem, she can only dress as maturely as possible.

Today she looked younger for once, which made her look particularly eye-catching.

The queen quipped, "So, who is more beautiful, the queen or your sister?"

Meng Qianqian hurriedly said: "The Queen is so beautiful, how can we fireflies compete with the sun?"

The queen smiled slightly and said, "No wonder my cousin always praises you."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

The Queen looked at Madam Wang at the door and said, "Isn't she here?"

Mrs. Wang heard that Meng Qianqian had come to the palace to pay her respects, so she came to see Meng Qianqian specially.

She missed the wedding day, and it was inconvenient for her to visit in the next few days, so she could only meet Meng Qianqian in the palace.

With her came a fifteen-year-old rich girl who looked very much like Lady Wang, with eyes as clear as water, rosy cheeks, red lips and white teeth. She looked at Meng Qianqian curiously and shyly.

Meng Qianqian smiled and nodded at her.

"I've met the Queen."

The two of them paid their respects to the queen.

The Queen said, "No need to be so polite, cousin."

Madam Wang stood up, pulled the girl beside her and said to Meng Qianqian, "Rou'er, come and meet your sister Meng."

"Sister Meng."

Wang Rou greeted gently.

Meng Qianqian had heard Zhou Nanyan mention Wang Rou many times, saying that she was shy, and when they met, it turned out to be true.

"Sister Rou'er."

Meng Qianqian and Mrs. Wang have a very close relationship, so she was not polite with Wang Rou.

"Rou'er returned to Beijing the night before your wedding." When mentioning this, Madam Wang couldn't help but nag Censor Wang again, "It's all Wang Daniu's fault!"

Censor Wang's real name was Wang Zhixing. He was weak when he was young and was afraid that he would not be able to support himself, so he gave himself a vulgar name. His original name was Niu Dan, but he changed it to Da Niu after he went to school.

Nowadays, only Mrs. Wang still dares to call him Wang Daniu, while others no longer have the courage to do so.

Madam Wang took Meng Qianqian's hand and sat down, and Wang Rou sat next to the queen.

It can be seen that the queen loves Wang Rou very much.

Mrs. Wang asked about what happened on the wedding day. Although that unprecedented wedding had already been spread to everyone, Mrs. Wang still wanted to know more details.

"The sedan chair was carried by eight people and passed through Chang'an Street, halfway around the capital, and passed by the Wang family's gate. I thought she was marrying someone else... I should have gone out to take a look earlier!"

Meng Qianqian glanced at the Queen. The Queen was listening very seriously and seemed quite interested in her wedding.

As they were chatting, the eunuch at the door announced, "Princess Wanping is here to see you."

Mrs. Wang muttered, "Why is she here?"

Princess Wanping was the eldest daughter of the retired emperor and the daughter of Empress Yuan. She had a high status and never took any woman in the harem seriously.

The queen said, "Announce."

The young eunuch replied, "Yes."

Soon, Princess Wanping, dressed in jewels and precious stones, walked into the main hall with a haughty look.

She first perfunctorily bowed to the Queen, without even calling her mother. After all, she was older than the Queen Mother, and it would have been awkward to call her mother.

"I just went to visit the Empress, and I heard that there are guests in the Empress's palace."

Meng Qianqian, Madam Wang, and Wang Rou bowed to her and said, "Greetings to Princess Wanping. May the Princess be well and well."

Princess Wanping's eyes fell on Meng Qianqian's face: "Are you Meng Qianqian?"

There was a distinct coldness in her tone.

Meng Qianqian thought, has she ever offended Princess Wanping? Why does it feel like Princess Wanping is up to no good?
