When Bei Qiu got the news from Chunmei.
Bei Qiu's first reaction was not hatred and anger, but a thorough understanding, the royal family's feelings are easier said than done? Lingering for more than a year, she has always been the plaything of the emperor's pillow, you can give it away if you want to give it away, you can throw it away if you want to throw it away, and when you need it, hook your fingers, and she will naturally pounce on it .
"Queen Mother?" Chunmei looked at Bei Qiu who had no reaction in fear, and asked nervously, "Are you all right? Queen Mother?"
Bei Qiu shook her head: "It's okay."
Chunmei's eyes were red, and she choked with sobs and said, "How can Long Live be like this, the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother! When the slaves refused Eunuch Wang, Eunuch Wang said..."
"say what?"
"Eunuch Wang said." Chunmei pursed her lips, and continued: "He said, this is the order of the Long Live Lord, not a request for instructions, saying that he hopes you will consider it for the court..."
Bei Qiu fell silent again.
Chunmei didn't dare to speak any more, she knelt down respectfully by the side.
After a long time, Bei Qiu said: "The Ai family knows."
"Queen Mother." Chunmei looked up at Bei Qiu in disbelief. Does this mean she agreed? "Long live God now asks you to find this servant of the Central Department, and will let you find someone else in the future. If the queen mother takes a step, this is a bottomless pit. Think twice, the queen mother!"
Bei Qiu's eyes were gloomy, "Then you tell Aijia, what should Aijia do? Defying Huang Ling, Aijia's death, adulterous harem, Aijia's death, this is the way to die, the emperor actually proposed that no matter what choice Aijia makes, All die."
When Chunmei heard this, her feet went limp, and she sat down on her calf.
No matter how you choose, you will die.
That is to say, Lord Long Live, the Queen Mother must die!
"Queen, is there no other choice..."
Bei Qiu took a deep breath and said, "Can Ai's family change the choice made by the emperor? Be ready at any time, Ai's family wants to see who this young and promising middle minister is, let the emperor once This time, I proposed to let Aijia win people's hearts."
When Chunmei heard these words, another ray of despair filled her heart. It turned out that Lord Long Live had made such unreasonable demands more than once.
Bei Qiu was not stupid enough to really use her body to seduce the servant of the central part. If she wanted to make the servant of the central part surrender, in fact, it would be enough for a little benefit.
With this bad strategy, the emperor can get rid of his own thoughts of facing Bei Qiu, and at the same time stabilize the court, killing two birds with one stone.
Half a month later, after all the concubines greeted Ann and went back, Bei Qiu changed into the luxurious queen mother's dress, this dress was only worn when attending family banquets and state banquets.
In Yongshou Palace.
The queen is pruning potted plants.
The young lady leaned into the Queen's ear and said: "Your Majesty, just now the **** came to report that Ye Zhou, the servant of the Central Department, was in charge of entering the Palace of Compassion."
The queen frowned, and relaxed a little, "This palace knows, withdraw everyone, this matter must not be publicized."
"Yes." Auntie backed out respectfully.
The queen put down the scissors in her hand and looked out of the window, her eyes became darker. That day, maybe she was really sick and missed it, and felt that the hand looked a bit like the emperor.
These days, she ordered people to keep an eye on the emperor and the empress dowager. The emperor is different from the past, he favors the concubine for a long time, and the empress dowager still stays in the palace of compassion.
She also felt Qiqiao, but what was even more strange was that no man entered the Compassionate Ning Palace. The Compassionate Ning Palace should not have any secret passages, so who would be the man that day, and today, she got the answer.
The servant of the central part...
Inside the Cining Palace.
Bei Qiu has already changed into a new outfit, Chunmei carefully puts on makeup for Bei Qiu, and after putting on makeup, the two of them stare at Bei Qiu in the bronze mirror, "I never knew that Aijia would have such a beautiful and refined day."
Bei Qiu in the bronze mirror, her immature cheeks are more sculpted with makeup, and the luxurious clothing on her body is in sharp contrast with her immature cheeks.
What she wants is this extreme contrast.
"The Empress Dowager is in full bloom. In this harem, the Empress Dowager's demeanor is really concealed. The pale makeup is painted every day, which completely bury the Empress Dowager's face." Chunmei felt a little regretful.
But Bei Qiu smiled: "What are you sorry about? Aijia is no longer bullied in this deep palace, and he is the master of the harem. This is what so many young girls want, but can't get."
The helplessness on Chunmei's face deepened a lot.
The maid hurried in from the outside and knelt on the ground: "Report to the Empress Dowager, the servant of the Central Department, please see me."
Bei Qiu nodded and said, "Go down."
After the maid went down, she continued: "Go and lead him to the courtyard of the side hall. The prepared banquet can be served in the imperial dining room. The Ai family will go later. All the maids and eunuchs are not allowed to stay."
Chunmei said respectfully, "Yes."
The place has been refurbished, with a low table and two cushions placed under the grape arbor. Now that it has passed the beginning of autumn, although the weather is still hot, there is a breeze.
The only advantage of the side hall is that there are no less varieties of flowers here than in the hundred gardens. The flowers are delicious, the wine is beautiful, and there are all three things. What awaits the servant of the central part is a gluttonous feast.
Guan Yezhou didn't know why he was called here by Lord Long Live.
He was quickly taken to the side hall. Seeing the flowers all over the yard, he froze for a moment.
Chunmei said, "My lord, please."
Guan Yezhou nodded and followed.
"My lord, please take a seat." Chunmei politely took her seat, the food was already served on the table, and two jugs of wine were placed beside her, "The Queen Mother will come later, my Majesty, please wait a moment."
Guan Yezhou nodded and said, "I'm in charge of my aunt."
Chunmei nodded and went down.
For a long time, Guan Yezhou didn't look around, but just waited quietly.
"But the banquet at Ai's house doesn't suit Guan Shilang's taste?" Bei Qiu came late and strolled over.
As soon as Guan Yezhou heard the voice, he immediately stood up, bowed his hands, and said, "I will see the Queen Mother, and I wish the Queen Mother good fortune, golden safety and long life."
Bei Qiu raised her eyebrows slightly after hearing this, "Longevity is boundless?"
He looked up and down at Guan Yezhou, he was very handsome, gentle and scholarly, he must be a bureaucrat from a scholarly family.
"Let's get down." Bei Qiu walked into the gazebo.
"Yes." Guan Yezhou raised his head slowly, seeing the empress dowager's luxurious clothes, a trace of respect rose in his heart, and he was stunned when he raised his head.
Bei Qiu walked to the table, sat on the cushion, saw Guan Yezhou staring at her, and said, "Guan Shilang, but you don't want to have dinner with Ai's family?"
Guan Yezhou came to his senses, and immediately bowed and said, "My minister is rude, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."
"The Ai family doesn't have so many rules, sit down." Bei Qiu laughed.
"Yes." Guan Yezhou just sat down, but his eyes kept scanning Bei Qiu's cheek intentionally or unintentionally, as if he wanted to see something from above.
