The school had just finished, and as soon as Cao Suixin and Wan Zhenzhen walked out of the gate, they were stopped by Eunuch Su who was beside the Queen Mother. "We meet Lord Fuyou. The Queen Mother invites you to enter the palace."
Cao Sui Xin blinked her eyes. The empress dowager often asked her to come to the palace to keep her company, but she always called the young eunuchs over. This time, she actually called Eunuch Su.
"It turns out to be Eunuch Su. I am so sorry to trouble you this time."
Eunuch Su looked at Cao Suixin with a smile on his face: "Bless you, my lord. The princess is back."
Cao Suixin's face was full of excitement: "Is Beibei back? She's at the Queen Mother's place. Come on, come on. Sister Zhenzhen, can you go home by yourself today?"
Wan Zhenzhen was a little amused, looking at Cao Suixin's anxious look and said, "I can do it, don't worry, go ahead."
In fact, Wan Zhenzhen also wanted to see Beibei, but it seemed unlikely now. It would take at least a few days, after all, Beibei was still in the palace.
After saying goodbye to Wan Zhenzhen, Cao Suixin followed Eunuch Su into the palace. Beibei rested for an hour before getting up and going to the imperial kitchen to get a lot of ingredients to cook hot pot himself.
The Queen Mother's entire palace was filled with the rich aroma of hot pot. Cao Suixin smelled it as soon as he arrived here, and his eyes lit up instantly: "What a nice smell."
She liked the craftsmanship of the second senior sister, but the second senior sister was kept by her own master. She had been living on the things left by the second senior sister for some time. She was so happy when she suddenly smelled such a fragrance.
When Eunuch Su brought Cao Suixin in, they saw Beibei busy. Cao Suixin quickly came to Beibei and said, "Big Sister, you are finally back. That's great. I didn't expect that Big Sister's cooking skills are so good."
Beibei's mouth twitched: "This was prepared by the imperial kitchen. I just came here to check it out."
It’s not that she doesn’t want to do it herself, it’s just that her cooking skills are just average. It’s not that she hasn’t practiced, but maybe she inherited it from her mother.
Cao Suixin sniffed it a few times and couldn't help but sigh: "It smells really good. When did the imperial kitchen have such skills?"
During this period, the Queen Mother often asked her to come to the palace for meals, but she had never tasted such cooking skills. Beibei laughed and said, "Of course I taught you."
She is not very good at doing things, but commanding people is her strong point. Cao Suixin didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only look at Beibei: "Big sister, I miss you so much. Do you miss me? And what have you been busy with recently?"
Beibei still replied with a smile on her face: "I missed you, so I rushed back without stopping. I asked someone to call you back to the palace immediately. I'll treat you to hot pot!"
When the two were talking, the Queen Mother also appeared. Looking at the two lively little girls, the corners of the Queen Mother's mouth turned up. She was old, and she liked the hustle and bustle, and she also liked to see such lively girls.
"Meet the Queen Mother."
When Cao Suixin saw the Queen Mother, he immediately went forward to pay his respects to her. The Queen Mother also smiled and said, "Get up, are you ready? Go and call the Emperor, Empress, and the three princes, and let's have a good gathering today."
As she got older, she liked to have many children and grandchildren. Her favorite granddaughter came. Her own grandson was also coming. The prince knew that Beibei was back and had come over long ago.
"Greetings, Grandmother. You're back, sister."
Beibei nodded: "Well, how are you doing recently?"
The Crown Prince has not been doing well recently. The Emperor has begun to train him to handle state affairs. He also has to study every day and is as busy as a dog. It is very hard.
But of course he wouldn't say this in front of Beibei. He just nodded happily and smiled like a fool: "It's fine!"
Soon the second and third princes came. The emperor and the queen also came. When they went to invite the queen, the concubine was also there. When she found out that only the queen was invited, she was a little angry!
This is the family that the Queen Mother has recognized. Among all the women in the harem, she only recognizes the Queen! Even if she is from her mother's family, it won't work. The Concubine Chen went back in a sullen mood.
The Queen and the Emperor glanced at her and ignored her. They both came to the Queen Mother and had dinner together.
The Concubine Chen returned to her own palace in anger from the Queen's Palace, causing quite a commotion. Many concubines came to ask what happened.
The so-called secrets could not be hidden in the palace, so the reason why Concubine Chen was angry was soon figured out by the women in the harem.
Wei Yuanyi naturally knew about this, and couldn't help but narrow her eyes. She was the emperor's new favorite. Yan Anxi was sitting on one side, and Lin Da Ying was standing on the other side.
After listening to the report from the people below, Lin agreed and suddenly looked at Wei Yuanyi and said, "Sister Yi Guiren, what do you think the Queen Mother means by this? There are so many people in the harem, and it's fine if she doesn't call you. But you are the Emperor's new favorite, why doesn't she call you?"
It's just right that she didn't call me that. Concubine Yi hated Beibei so much, how could she take the initiative to celebrate Beibei's return? She frowned. She really didn't welcome this woman back at all.
An Da Ying suddenly smiled and looked at Concubine Yi: "Sister Lin, this is not right. The Queen Mother did not even invite the Concubine and the others. What are you trying to do? Are you trying to instigate Sister Yi to cause trouble in front of the Queen Mother?"
"If I ruin the good mood of the Queen Mother and the Princess, and then they blame me, I will be the one who has wronged Sister Yi. Do you still hold a grudge against Sister Yi?"
Lady Yi immediately glared at Lin and agreed: "Okay, so you still have such thoughts, okay, very good! Go kneel down at the door."
Lin Da Ying's face turned pale in an instant, and she looked at Concubine Yi: "Concubine Yi, I didn't, and I dare not."
Yi Guiren didn't care about that and snorted, "Why don't you go and kneel down quickly."
Lin Da Ying was filled with hatred, but she didn't dare to show it. Her life had been so difficult over the past few months that she could hardly endure it any longer.
Concubine Yi looked at Lin Da Ying kneeling by the door with some interest in her eyes. This woman was already defeated by her and she had no intention of torturing her anymore.
Thinking of this, she suddenly thought of the princess. The princess came back and had dinner with the emperor and his family. If she saw her at this time, she would definitely be unhappy, so she would go and disgust her.
"An agreed. Get ready. Let's go pay our respects to the Queen Mother. After all, we are old acquaintances of the princess. It's okay to go over and see her when she comes back."
An Da Ying had a flash of surprise in his eyes, and looked at Concubine Yi: "But Sister Yi, it's not a good time to go there."
During these few months, the people above the throne of concubine could not move, but the people below were extremely excited, and the biggest winner here was Concubine Yi.
Is he going to go against the princess instead of being a good new favorite? This is not a good idea. She is really worried about Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi naturally saw it, and smiled at An Da Ying: "Don't worry, sister An, you are really worried about me. I appreciate your kindness, but I have to go this time."
An Yingda frowned and said, "Why not call Lin Yingda as well and tell the Empress Dowager and the Emperor what we just said, so that we can't blame my sister."
Well, bring a shield to block the sword. Lady Yi said with a smile: "You are still thoughtful. Then bring Lin along. If you dare to sow discord, you must be prepared to bear the consequences."
Lin agreed and felt relieved. No matter where he went, it would be better than being tortured by this woman.
Lady Yi looked at An and agreed: "Then Sister An will not take you this time. Lin, please agree and go."
What could Lin Da Ying say? He could only stand up, with hatred flashing in his eyes, but when he raised his head, he smiled: "Okay."
Leading Lin to the Queen Mother's palace, they could hear laughter and fragrance coming out of the palace gate. Stimulating Yi Guiren's face, is this Beibei so proud
When he reached the door, he was stopped by the young eunuch: "Greetings, Lady Yi."
Concubine Yi looked at the young eunuch in front of her and said, "Go and inform the emperor that I am here."
The young eunuch felt a little embarrassed and nervous. He thought, if he didn't report it, he would anger Concubine Yi, and he, a young eunuch, wouldn't dare to do that.
But if I report it, I'm afraid I'll anger the Queen Mother. This Concubine Yi is really good at giving people problems. Even the Concubine didn't come to the family dinner tonight.
"Go and tell them that I have something to report."
What else could the young eunuch say? He could only nod and run in to report. Of course, he didn't dare to rush in, so he could only go to find Eunuch Su.
The corner of Eunuch Su's mouth twitched, and he suddenly became a little excited. He felt like he was back in a familiar environment, and looked at the Queen Mother in front of him: "Queen Mother, Concubine Yi is here, and she said she has something to report."
The Queen Mother frowned and glared at Eunuch Su: "Ignore her."
What could possibly happen if she came at this time? Of course, she would just cause trouble for others. Seeing that the Queen Mother did not want to see Concubine Yi, Eunuch Su did not speak any more.
The young eunuch also went back to guard the door. Concubine Yi waited for a long time and finally discovered that the people inside had no intention of paying any attention to her. She instantly became angry and rushed inside.
The young eunuch had not expected her to do this. He was stunned for a moment and did not stop her, allowing Concubine Yi to rush in.
"I greet the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress."
Suddenly a woman appeared and greeted everyone. Everyone else was stunned. The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Why don't you take her out? Why let anyone in here? What are you doing?"
The Queen Mother was a little angry, and Concubine Yi was quickly dragged out. When Beibei looked at Concubine Yi, she felt that she looked familiar, but she couldn't remember who she was for a moment, so she asked, "Who is this?"
The Queen Mother replied with a smile: "She is just a vying for favor, she has no eyes, leave her alone."
