The Empress Dowager was talking to the Empress at this time, and when she saw Concubine Yun and Princess Tana coming side by side, followed by Qin Yining, they all looked over.
When Concubine Yun saw the Empress Dowager, she walked up to the Empress Dowager happily like a charming little butterfly, and said, "Cousin, when did you get up this morning? The concubine looks at you with dark circles under her eyes, is it true? Didn't you have a good rest yesterday?"
The queen mother lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Ai's family is in the Spring and Autumn Period. How can you be as heartless as you are at this age, and you don't care about things at all. Of course, it's not like you fell asleep on your pillow."
Concubine Yun's face froze, and she smiled awkwardly, "Yes, the concubine is stupid and can't help my cousin."
She has felt the estrangement and dissatisfaction of the Queen Mother countless times.
The Queen Mother doesn't want to see her now, and she doesn't like to discuss anything with her, let alone let her do it. Although Concubine Yun is a concubine based on her beauty, she knows in her heart that if she is not the Queen Mother's cousin, Definitely can't get to where it is today.
Now the empress dowager's estrangement is equivalent to taking away the advantages loaded on her little by little. In the future, there will always be times when she completely loses the favor of the saints, loses the use value of her parents' family, and is abandoned like a shoe...
Concubine Yun's heart was terrified. If the Empress and Concubine Shun were not present, she would definitely kneel down and beg the Empress Dowager's forgiveness.
But showing weakness in front of the enemy, she couldn't do it.
The Empress Dowager squinted at Concubine Yun, then turned to look at Princess Tana with a smile, "Concubine Shun should have gotten used to the life in the palace, right?"
"Yes." Princess Tana nodded subconsciously, then remembered the rules in the palace, and changed her knees again, but Da Zhou's words were still strange, "Back to the queen mother, the concubine has adapted a lot."
The queen mother frowned slightly, dissatisfied with Princess Tana's stiff posture and strange accent, wiped the corners of her mouth with Pa, and said without looking away: "Sit down." She saw Qin Yining out of the corner of her eyes, and added, "Oh, Mr. Qin should sit down too."
"Yes, thank you Queen Mother." Qin Yining saluted respectfully, and then took the last seat.
The queen mother continued to ask the queen, "Why are there so many expenses in the palace this month? You, the queen, have to find a way to share the worries of the emperor. We are in the harem and can't expand our territory, at least we must know how to be frugal. Let the emperor have less troubles."
The queen knew that the queen mother had to show her authority in front of everyone, so she said: "What the queen mother said is very true, and the concubines also think that the most important thing is to increase income and reduce expenditure. First of all, the share of concubines and concubines in each palace is the month. Months can’t be used up…”
The queen went on to talk about many examples of extravagance and waste in the palace, and there are many places where the silver can simply be used up.
Didn't the empress dowager want to know how to be frugal and help the emperor to reduce troubles
The queen simply followed the queen mother's wishes.
Nowadays, there are more and more people in the palace, and the expenses are getting bigger and bigger. The concubines and concubines are used to enjoying it. If the monthly rate is suddenly reduced, they must complain behind their back, then the first thing they scold will not be the execution. The queen, but the queen mother who mentioned this.
The queen mother frowned, feeling a throbbing pain in her temples.
How did she find that the queen became more and more difficult to deal with since she came into contact with Qin Yining.
And Qin Yining couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw the queen like this. It seems that although the queen has a cold heart for the family of the Tian family, she still has to settle down and fight for the first prince.
Qin Yining did not intervene in the matter between the queen mother and the queen, and only drank tea with her eyes lowered, watching the confrontation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the palace.
But after wrangling for a while, the queen mother became more and more irritable.
"Okay, alright, you all retire." The Queen Mother urged irritably, "Didn't the Qin family want to teach Concubine Shun the words and rules of Dazhou? I don't think your teaching is very good."
"Yes, the court lady must teach her wholeheartedly." What Princess Tana can learn is irrelevant to her.
Princess Tana understood these words of the queen mother, and her face flushed in an instant. If it wasn't for her status as the queen mother, and thinking about her purpose of coming to Da Zhou and relatives, she really wanted to pull out the whip and whip it hard. This vicious woman was stunned.
Concubine Yun could naturally see the irritability of the Queen Mother, and she did not dare to stay in front of the Queen Mother, so as not to touch the mold. Turn around and follow the Queen and others to leave Ci'an Palace.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she left the palace, the big palace maid next to the Queen Mother came to her, bowed her knees and said: "Miss Yun, the Queen Mother, please speak."
Concubine Yun stopped in her footsteps and almost laughed out loud.
Has the cousin finally stopped irritating her
Concubine Yun hurriedly returned to the hall.
Both the Queen and Princess Tana saw it, but Concubine Yun was the Queen Mother's cousin, and they got along like this before, and neither of them took it to heart.
When the party went to a fork in the road, the queen smiled and said to Qin Yining, "The princess lives in Chuxiu Palace now, what's the inconvenience? If there is anything, just tell this palace, don't be polite."
"Yes, the court lady would like to thank the empress for being considerate." Qin Yining smiled and thanked him.
Princess Tana snorted coldly, "It's a pity that no matter how good you are, you still have to be in this palace."
After all, regardless of identity and etiquette, he turned around and left.
Qin Yining smiled helplessly at the Empress, and bowed her knees and said, "The minister's wife retire." She led someone to catch up with Princess Tana.
The queen frowned worriedly.
On the way back to the palace, Mammy Sun reassured her: "My lord, don't worry, Prince Zhongshun is smart and courageous. Even in Concubine Shun's palace, she should not suffer any loss. Instead, the servants are worried about the niece."
"Everything is fine in this palace, what's there to worry about?" the queen asked suspiciously.
Mammy Sun said: "The niangniang is too good-natured. Originally a concubine Yun, she always used the power of the queen mother to be unfavorable to the niangniang, but now with the addition of a well-loved concubine Shun, the niangniang is not the enemy. "
The queen shook her head, "No matter how many favorite concubines there are in this palace, this palace will not have a good life. Just like what Prince Zhongshun told us earlier, if you don't work hard, the future of this palace's brother Hao will not be easy. You can only be bullied because of a cowardly and useless mother like Ben Gong. So for Ben Gong, having several enemies is the same thing."
Mammy Sun smiled, "Niangniang is more open than before."
"Yeah, Ben Gong also thinks that this is thanks to Princess Zhongshun."
Qin Yining went back with Princess Tana, and had to listen to a lot of her complaints.
However, she is different from Princess Tana and the Queen. She is very concerned about the fact that Concubine Yun was specially shed by the Queen Mother. Qin Yining's sense of crisis is very strong. Once in the mountains, he has avoided danger many times by relying on a sense of crisis similar to that of a beast, and this time is the same.
She always felt that something would happen when she entered the palace this time.
That night, Li Qitian turned over the brand of Princess Tana.
Qin Yining was able to sleep well all night.
When I saw Princess Tana the next day, I found that this person had a look of pride in his eyes.
