Concubine Zhao was about to speak, but she watched the Queen Mother put down the teacup, and the bean-green glazed teacup was placed on the small table crisply. Made a moderate sound, and for a while, Concubine Zhao and Concubine Shu were silent at the same time.
"Concubine Shu is right. It is the duty of parents to teach their children to be filial. Long live God is a filial person. Naturally, princes are also filial. Not only must you be filial to your mothers and concubines, but you must also be filial to your aunt." The queen mother said slowly. Dao, while looking at Concubine Zhao, "Empress Zhenxian's memorial day is coming soon. Are you all ready?"
The seventh day of July. It is the memorial day of the late Zhenxian Empress. According to previous years, it is necessary to hold a grand ceremony. Concubine Zhao has worked with the Six Palaces for many years. Queen Zhenxian's sacrifice has always been handled by her alone. But this year, something like the abolition of the crown prince happened, and Concubine Zhao's heart was pounding. The abolished prince must be the only emperor's son born to Empress Zhenxian, and now his son has suffered such a mess. Naturally, Empress Zhenxian's reputation is also affected. It would be inappropriate to pay homage to Empress Zhenxian with great fanfare at this time. It's just that since Yutangchun in the palace was cut off, Concubine Zhao Gui has become much less courageous. She couldn't figure out what Zhong Zhiheng meant, and she didn't dare to ask Zhong Zhiheng's meaning rashly, so Zhao Guifei turned around and begged for help. When we arrived at the Empress Dowager's place, who would have thought that just as we got off the sedan chair outside the Palace of Compassion and Ning, we would bump into Concubine Shu head-on, Concubine Zhao only felt bad luck and bored, but in the end it was not easy to just walk away.
Seeing the Empress Dowager taking the initiative to bring up the sacrificial matter, Concubine Zhao was relieved, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Does the Empress Dowager mean to still perform sacrifices to Empress Zhenxian according to the standard of previous years?"
"Is there something wrong?" The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Zhao, and Gu Jing Wubo's eyes were fixed on Concubine Zhao.
"There is nothing wrong with it...but," Concubine Zhao Gui felt flustered when the Queen Mother saw her, she paused, and finally said bravely, "But the concubine thinks that the Long Live Lord just disposed of the trash. Prince, it would be inappropriate to pay homage to Empress Zhenxian with great fanfare at this time, right? Maybe there are many people in and out of the palace talking about it."
"The Ai family doesn't know that Concubine Zhao Gui is still in charge of the affairs outside the palace," the queen mother held her lips, holding the tea cover, and said lightly, "The Ai family thinks that Concubine Zhao Gui is still unable to afford such a burden. Heart."
"The Empress Dowager Mingjian! The concubine has no such intentions!" Concubine Zhao was so busy that she knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said anxiously, "The concubine is thinking about the sake of the Long Live Lord, and has no selfish intentions! Please enlighten the empress dowager!"
"The Ai family knows where your heart is," the Empress Dowager bent down, holding Concubine Zhao's delicate chin with her withered fingers. When she was sweating, she said slowly again, "Aijia knows that you put all your heart on the emperor. In your heart for the emperor, the Ai family has never intervened, and has never blamed you, and the Ai family will not intervene in the future, but you have to remember that no matter how noble a concubine is, she is just a concubine, a queen, even if It’s just a memorial tablet, but it’s still a queen, at least in the hearts of the Ai family and the emperor, there is only such a queen in this Great Zhou Dynasty, the dignity and majesty that a queen should have, no one can trample on it, or you will be courting death.”
