But this time, Bei Qiu also looked into Wu Yumeng's eyes and said: "Emperor, this is related to the reputation of the Ai family, if the Ai family says no."
"Queen Mother, will you reject me?" Wu Yumeng was determined to win, and he didn't believe that Yue Beiqiu would refuse.
The corners of Bei Qiu's mouth curled up slightly, he lowered his head to play with the silk handkerchief in his hand, and opened his mouth slightly: "The emperor thinks that the Ai family will not refuse?"
The voice fell.
The entire main hall seemed to be quiet.
Wu Yumeng said lightly: "The Queen Mother has always been sensible."
"Sensible?" Bei Qiu laughed absurdly, supported her body, leaned towards the emperor, and said seductively: "One night couple? The emperor is very thoughtful, it's better for the emperor and Ai's family to be a one night couple first, mourning Let's think about it again, how about the emperor's suggestion?"
Wu Yumeng frowned slightly at this time and said: "The Queen Mother has gone too far."
"Didn't the emperor acquiesce in Ai's overstepping the distance? Ai's thought that the emperor already knew that Ai's heart is with the emperor." Bei Qiu raised her eyebrows slightly, and simply pierced through the window paper
"Ridiculous!" Wu Yumeng squinted his eyes, and suddenly became angry.
Bei Qiu also sat up straight, and said with a look of sudden realization: "Aijia is right? Could it be that the emperor has become angry from embarrassment?"
"The Empress Dowager may be tired today, and I will come to greet the Empress Dowager another day." Wu Yumeng took the jade pendant and was about to get up.
"No need." Bei Qiu interrupted Wu Yumeng's movements, "The emperor has all kinds of affairs in his daily life, so he should take care of state affairs. The emperor will let other people do such trivial matters."
Wu Yumeng was rejected, stood up without changing his face, and said: "Today, I just greeted the Queen Mother, not to discuss with the Queen Mother."
The implication is that you have to do it if you do it, and you have to do it if you don’t do it!
"If the Ai family is unwilling, the emperor thinks, what can the emperor do?" Bei Qiu knelt to the end, tightly holding the corner of the table beside her.
Wu Yumeng waved the jade pendant in his hand casually, and said: "What is there not to be satisfied with, the queen mother? The newly appointed Minister of the Central Department has already held a high position at the age of twenty-five. How can the queen mother feel wronged when she is with this person? It's better to accept it readily and let your son think about it."
"A mere servant in the middle of the country wants to send Ai's family away. Emperor, you are really a good son of Ai's family!" Bei Qiu said the words "good son" very emphatically.
I wanted to stir up Wu Yumeng, but found that his face didn't change, he just smiled lightly: "The Queen Mother should dress up more and wait for my summons."
After all, he walked out.
is walking at the door.
Bei Qiu suddenly said: "The emperor can't take back just a mere servant in the middle. Does the emperor feel powerless when he sees the people in this world? I thought the emperor controlled the harem and the former court, but now, Aijia is thinking, what is it?" Is the emperor controlling others, or are they using the harem concubines to control the emperor?"
Wu Yumeng looked back at Bei Qiu, his eyes were deep and bottomless, but he smiled: "The queen mother is tired, my aunt came in to take care of her, and the queen mother must not make any mistakes."
Say it.
The father-in-law outside pushed open the door, and Wu Yumeng walked out slowly, after a while, Chunmei hurried in, saw Bei Qiu sitting on the cushion, and asked worriedly: "Queen Mother, are you okay? "
After that, he turned and went back to the inner hall.
Chunmei immediately stepped forward to support her, and walked forward cautiously, "Queen Dowager, you must not offend Long Live Lord now. The concubine was buried alive three years ago, and the servants are still terrified when they think about it now."
"You can also see that he is angry today?" Bei Qiu looked sideways at Chunmei. Chunmei was her confidant. The maid who followed her from her mother's house was ten years older than Bei Qiu. Qiu's side made suggestions.
Chunmei nodded solemnly.
"The Ai family knows it well. Since the Ai family has reached this position, it can't be more miserable than this. The Ai family is indeed a bit tired. Chunmei, let's dress up and rest for the Ai family." Bei Qiu rubbed her temples with fine fingers, slightly Sighed.
Chunmei nodded with reddish eyes: "Yes."
It was only when Chunmei ordered someone to fetch water that Bei Qiu saw her appearance at this time, even if the current makeup was intentionally drawn a bit old-fashioned, it still couldn't hide her beauty.
There were so many concubines when I paid my respects just now, but none of them had an appearance better than this body, and every frown and smile in front of the bronze mirror seemed to be able to captivate people's hearts and souls. A wonderful person who was alive and well turned out to be the empress dowager.
No wonder Chunmei's eyes were mostly filled with regret.
If Yue Beiqiu did not marry the first emperor, but married Wu Yumeng, even if she didn't get married, she would still become a favorite concubine, right? Bei Qiu smiled helplessly, she thought so, and the original Yue Beiqiu would definitely think the same way, that's why she was so unwilling, and that's why she held the slightest wish.
"Queen Dowager." Chunmei walked in, followed by a group of eunuchs and maids, carrying all kinds of washing things.
"See the Queen Mother." The maids and eunuchs saluted one after another.
After a few days.
Bei Qiu was having dinner in her own palace, Chunmei was feeding Bei Qiu some vegetables while saying, "Queen Mother, a noble person has entered the harem."
"Oh?" Bei Qiubo wiped his mouth with interest, ready to listen carefully, "Which family's girl?"
"I heard it belongs to Sikong's family." Chunmei poured Bei Qiu a glass of sake.
"Sikong..." Bei Qiu frowned slightly, thought for a moment but couldn't think of anything, took a sip of sake and said, "What position did you get?"
"Report to the queen mother, noble concubine." Chunmei said respectfully.
"Imperial concubine?" Bei Qiu was quite nervous. In the harem, the empress, the imperial concubine, and after that came the four concubines, the noble concubine, the virtuous concubine, the Shu concubine, and the de concubine. As soon as they entered the palace, they were the first of the four concubines.
Chunmei nodded her head: "This servant took a look at her from a distance, but she didn't think this noble concubine was very attractive, she was plain-looking. But she is the eldest daughter of the Sikong family."
"Nowadays there are many imperial concubines, one imperial concubine, one Shu concubine, and one virtuous concubine. There is a shortage of noble concubines and virtuous concubines." Bei Qiu raised her eyebrows slightly. "Now the imperial concubine is given to a newcomer, it's really strange."
Chunmei continued: "From my servant's point of view, there is nothing unusual about this. Two generations of generals from the Sikong family hold military power and tiger charms. Lord Long Live must have thought of this level of interest."
"You know a lot." Bei Qiu looked at her with raised eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "What's your opinion on this?"
Chunmei shook her head and said, "The Empress Dowager's heart is like a mirror, how dare slaves and servants make wild guesses about their masters."
"I would say that you guessed a little bit what the emperor thought that day, let's say it." Bei Qiu put down the bowl and chopsticks, "When there was something between us master and servant that we can't tell."
