There is a long way to go before returning the pearl

Since the Empress Dowager arranged for Qing'er's wedding, several important figures in the harem have been busy.All the trivial matters are contracted by the empress alone, and the empress dowager also takes care of them, but it is just a matter of talking, arranging people to handle and inspecting things, the empress is alone busy, but the empress also thanks the empress dowager, now let Qing'er get married, nothing more than It was to divert attention, so that the matter of Twelve's disappearance would not attract so much attention, so that the emperor would have the energy to investigate.

Empress Yinshi got up, and Nanny Rong took care of the queen's changing and grooming, "Your Majesty is busy with Qing Gege's wedding, and you also have to take care of your own body. If you are so overworked, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive Gege's wedding, and you will fall down." .”

The queen looked at herself in the mirror, touched the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she didn't have her face, so why should she care if she was in the eyes of the emperor, "Sister, don't say that, this time, after all, Qing'er was wronged, such a hasty preparation, this Gong feels very sorry, only doing her best for her can make this palace feel better, it should be for peace of mind."

After hearing what the queen said, Mother Rong stopped trying to persuade her, and she wanted to be more cautious and serious in doing things so as to share the burden for the queen.

There are still ten days until the big wedding day, "By the way, how is Qing'er these days?"

"Mother, Qing Gege has been preparing her wedding dress in the room. Since the queen mother made the wedding, she rarely leaves the room except to greet the queen mother, but..."

The queen was surprised that she would hesitate, but she had never done so before, "If you have something to say, just say it, this palace should know it well."

Mother Rong realized that the queen is in her own palace, and she is her eyes and ears. She doesn't say anything, let alone tell the queen, so she doesn't hesitate now, "Madam, I heard the ladies talking about it a few days ago. It's Princess Seya who often goes to see Qing Gege, and the time she stays is not short."

The queen put away her surprise, but thought about Seya's actions in her heart. She had just entered the palace and was not familiar with the harem, so why did she only get close to Qing'er?

Aunt Rong has been observing the Queen's expression, seeing that she is also confused, she can't help but come up with an idea, "Mother, why don't we bring Seya here, let's ask, we are not afraid that she will be dishonest."

"Nurse." The queen yelled loudly, looking at her with hatred, "Have you forgotten that Twelve has closed the darkroom, and have you forgotten the rules of the harem?"

Mother Rong was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "Madam, this old slave has not forgotten, but you are the empress, so you have the final say in the harem."

The queen snorted coldly, "How about this palace being the queen? There are also the empress dowager and the emperor on top of this palace. With them around, this palace is nothing. Twelve is right. In the harem, you can only forget your identity. There will be no mistakes, always remember, you can only let yourself get carried away."

Nanny Rong broke out in a cold sweat, not understanding why the queen said that, "Your Majesty, you..."

The queen took a deep look at her, "I have been by the emperor's side for so many years, and I have never been favored. Although I am a queen, I often only get reprimanded by the emperor, let alone favored. In the past, I valued the queen too much. When I have my identity, I always remind myself to be a good queen. Twelve is right. Besides being a queen, I am also the wife of the emperor, and the daughter-in-law of the empress dowager. The queen is a gift from the empress dowager and the emperor. If I can’t be a good wife How can you and your daughter-in-law be qualified to be queens?"

Nanny Rong was shocked, looked at the Queen, her eyes were filled with hot tears, thinking about what she said, she was really stunned, "Mother, old slave..."

The queen helped her up, "It's good that you know it, remember it in the future, you can't say that again, I have to stay in the harem well, waiting for Twelve and Thirteen to come back."

"Your Majesty, yes, brothers and sisters are auspicious people, and they will definitely be able to turn the danger into a disaster and return safely."

The queen smiled confidently, "My child is not bad at all, as for Seya... I am thinking about it, you go down first, and prepare the jewelry that I will send to Qinger later, and I will send it personally."

"Yes." Mother Rong didn't act stupid this time, she didn't say much, and quickly withdrew. In fact, she was also a very shrewd person before, otherwise she wouldn't have been with the queen as a dowry, and just entered the palace After a long time, after listening to too many flattering words, I got carried away with complacency, and the only bit of wisdom was also worn away by time.

The queen was still sitting on the dressing table without moving, thinking about the words that Twelve had persuaded her again and again in the past few years, she smiled happily, his childish words were still lingering in her ears, and his immature face was still there. Wandering in front of my eyes, there are his shadows everywhere in this room, but... "Twelve, Thirteen, how are you all? Have you taken care of yourself? The empress misses you." With a hoarse voice, in the empty room Even more lonely.

At this moment, Twelve, who is still sleeping, and the person who is still in pain are having beautiful dreams. In the dream, there is a beautiful and gentle woman calling them softly.

"Emperor Niang..."

……

Nanny Rong pushed open the door quietly, "Your Majesty, the things are ready, and the old slave has also checked, everything is fine."

"Are they all here?"

"Here we are, waiting in the palace." Madam Rong has no expression on her face. These snobbish people don't dare to pay more and more attention to the empress because their two sons have accidents one after another. Hmph, when the little master comes back How dare they be so presumptuous.

The queen stood up and walked towards the hall.

When all the concubines saw the empress, they stopped their conversation, stood up one after another, and saluted respectfully, "See empress empress, auspicious empress."

The queen sat on the main seat, and said lightly, "Get up."

"Thank you madam."

On one side, the concubines chatted against each other, on the other side, the news that the emperor stayed at Concubine Rong's place spread like a spring breeze among the court ladies. Concubine Rong has never greeted the queen since entering the palace, and the queen did not mention it. Forget about her, otherwise, the concubines in the palace will be the first to know about the emperor's favor with her today, and they don't have to wait until they return to their respective palaces to get the news from the maids.

It's just a pity that the porcelain in the harem has to be replaced again.

Qinger was earnestly embroidering her purse, when she heard the movement, she thought it was Seya who came, but suddenly thought, Seya is not that diligent, it is not bad to be able to wake up at this time, let alone come to me, stood up, and walked out of the room , saw the person coming, and immediately saluted, "See empress empress."

"Get up." The queen walked to Qing'er, and said to Nanny Gui who was following her, "Look, mommy, Qing'er has become more and more outstanding, and only the queen mother can teach such a well-behaved and polite person."

Nanny Gui also had a happy face. Although the queen praised Qing'er, the queen mother was the one who praised Qing'er in the end. Qing'er is so sensible. It must be the queen mother who taught her well. This is not something that cannot be admitted. Our Qing Gege is also sensible."

Qing'er lowered her head shyly, put her hands in front of her body dignifiedly, and didn't interrupt.

"Nurse Rong, take out the things." The queen ordered to Nanny Rong behind her.

Nanny Rong waved her hand, and the maid behind her came to the queen respectfully and cautiously, "Qing'er, see if you like it, if you don't like it, there are other things in my palace." The queen opened the box so that Qing'er could see stuff inside.

Nanny Gui glanced at it calmly, then quickly withdrew her gaze, and looked at the ground. Qing'er saluted the queen again, "Qing'er thanked the empress, but..."

The queen took her hand, "The queen mother loves you, and I love you as my own child. Naturally, I can't wrong you. Hurry up and accept it."

"Ge Ge accept it. Your Majesty greeted the Empress Dowager. She came over after saying a few words. Ge Ge, don't disappoint your Majesty's wishes." Nanny Gui persuaded that what the Empress gave this time were all good things, and it would be even worse if she refused. Well, it's better to just accept it.

"Your Majesty treats Qing'er, Qing'er has always understood."

After finishing her business, the empress began to tease Qing'er, "What a good boy, Ben Gong seems to be taking advantage of Yongbi."

"Your Majesty..." Qing'er heard the meaning of her words, grabbed the Queen's arm, and acted coquettishly.

Several people said a few words, the queen glanced at Rongmao, "Okay, I'm going back, Qing'er should have a good rest."

"Congratulations to the empress."

Qing'er helped Nanny Gui, and said with concern, "Why are you here, it's very cold, you should stay warm in your room."

Nanny Gui smiled slightly, "The Empress Dowager asked this old slave to teach you the things you should pay attention to when you get married."

The queen supported Nanny Rong's hand and left the Palace of Compassion, "What happened?" She saw that Nanny Rong was anxious just now, so she thought about leaving.

Nurse Rong approached the queen and whispered back, "Your Majesty, the concubines from all the palaces have arrived in Jingyang Palace, and the maids said that they are very angry."

"Hmph, I'm so angry, I'm afraid I'm thinking of digging a hole for Bengong to jump in. I want to see what they want to do."

Rong Momo's face became worried, "Ma'am, why don't we go to the Queen Mother's place, if we don't see you, there are so many of them, Ma'am, why are you alone..."

The queen patted Rong Rong's hand, "Don't worry, I'm not stupid, and I won't let them do what they want. By the way, they won't come to me for no reason. Has anything serious happened in the harem recently?"

Aunt Rong recalled carefully, "A major event? Doesn't seem to be?"

"No?" The queen stopped and frowned, nothing happened, so why did they come to find themselves together?The queen couldn't figure it out either.

Nurse Rong has been thinking about the news she heard recently, trying to find out what the queen wants, "Ah..." Suddenly, Nurse Rong patted her forehead, "Madam, this old servant knows, the emperor went to the palace last night. Let Concubine Rong stay overnight."

The queen thought about it for a moment, "So that's the case, it seems that they didn't expect to favor Concubine Rong."
