Chapter 140 141: The melons I saw with my own eyes are more delicious
Concubine Wan couldn't bear it at all. Hearing that the two of them were using her as a cover, her complexion became even worse. She ignored the two of them and looked at Zhang Maoquan directly and said, "Director Zhang, I'm just recovering from a serious illness. I really can't bear it at the moment. Please ask someone to bring the chair over, so I can rest for a while. It's a good day for the empress dowager to return to the palace. If I get sunburned and bring more bad luck to the queen mother, it's my fault."
Zhang Maoquan immediately waved his hand to ask someone to bring a chair over. He didn't say a word to the third concubine. Anyway, he didn't rely on any side, and no one could offend him. He was very slippery.
The chair was placed in the shade under the palace wall, Concubine Wan walked over to sit down while holding Le Chun's hand, and then she was slightly relieved, her hands and feet felt soft, and her whole body broke out in a cold sweat.
But she was arrogant by nature, she refused to be seen by others, and sat there with her spine stiff.
Time passed by every minute and every second, and Song Yunzhao couldn't stand still anymore. His left and right legs alternated under the hem of the skirt. She didn't know if it was because the sun was too strong today, or if she had stood for a long time.
However, thinking that when she was learning the rules, she happened to be injured and avoided it, so she was silent for a while.
Xiangxue saw her master's complexion turned slightly pale, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to support her, and supported her with a little dark force.
Song Yunzhao glanced at Xiangxue, and with Xiangxue supporting her, she breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more relaxed.
Xiangxue was anxious, the master's face was not very good, and she didn't know when the queen mother would arrive, and Concubine Wan could sit because she was the master of a concubine, their master obviously didn't have the confidence.
The situation on Qin Xiyue's side is not very good, and Fang Ping beside her is also holding her tightly, everyone's faces are ashen, and they dare not speak out.
Even if there is anger, he dare not show it on his face.
At this moment, they finally saw the Empress Dowager's Yijia, and everyone immediately straightened their backs. Concubine Wan also supported Le Chun to return to the team. The three concubines stood side by side, and everyone followed behind.
Zhang Maoquan ran to the front of the imperial palace in a hurry. Song Yunzhao glanced at it and didn't look at it again. He turned to look at the queen mother's Yijia.
The emperor got out of the car, Song Yunzhao looked across the crowd, and saw Feng Yi turned his head and glanced this way. The distance was a little far away, and he couldn't be sure who he was looking at, but Song Yunzhao had an intuition that he was looking at her.
The mood seemed to have wings all of a sudden, and it flew up in an instant.
The emperor was dissatisfied with the empress dowager, so he put on a good show in front of others, personally picked the empress dowager out of the car, and helped her to walk forward.
"The concubine pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor! I pay respects to the empress dowager, and wish the empress dowager a long life and good health."
Song Yunzhao followed the words of the third concubine to salute and salute, not curtseying, but kneeling upright and prostrating.
Don't say it, it's easy to kneel on your knees and it doesn't hurt your knees, it's just a little panicky.
"Everyone get up." Feng Yi saw that the Queen Mother had no intention of speaking, and ignored the Queen Mother's sternness, and directly asked people to get up.
As soon as he approached, he saw why Song Yunzhao's face was so pale. It's been a long time since I saw him. Could it be that he was bullied after he left Beijing?
Song Yunzhao could feel someone staring at her, and guessed who it was, but she didn't look up.
Looking at each other under the eyes of the Empress Dowager, isn't this an initiative to give away the head?
Thinking about this, she heard the Queen Mother say: "It's just a trivial matter for Ai's family to go back to the palace, so why bother you to wait here."
Song Yunzhao:…
Sure enough, Concubine Zhuang laughed and said, "It is an honor for the concubines and others to welcome the empress dowager back to the palace. The empress dowager has worked hard all the way, and the concubines and others respectfully welcome the empress dowager back to the Shouci Palace."
The queen mother took another look at Concubine Zhuang, then looked sideways at the emperor and asked, "Which one is this?"
Feng Yi heard what the queen mother said, and said calmly: "It's Concubine Zhuang."
The Empress Dowager's complexion instantly softened, "So you are Concubine Zhuang. The Ai family heard the emperor mention you, saying that you have always been gentle, kind and virtuous, and it is true."
Concubine Zhuang's face was full of smiles, "The concubine is afraid, this is what a concubine should do, and I dare not be praised by the emperor."
Song Yunzhao:…
Hehe, seeing the interaction between the Empress Dowager and Concubine Zhuang, the two must have an affair secretly. I guessed that Concubine Zhuang was right.
The empress dowager only said a few words to Concubine Zhuang, and the other concubines and empress dowagers seemed to be invisible, so they started directly to Shouci Palace.
Song Yunzhao walked along with the crowd, and vaguely saw a young girl following the queen mother through the crowd, but he couldn't see more, only the back was slender and fit, and his figure was graceful. Thinking of the book An Shutong's beauty is not inferior to the heroine, this back is indeed qualified.
The emperor sent the Empress Dowager back to Shouci Palace, Song Yunzhao and others naturally couldn't leave here, and had to send the Empress Dowager for a ride, which was really too troublesome.
From the Tai Chi Palace all the way to the Shouci Palace, the distance is not close. Song Yunzhao had stood for a long time, but black stars were popping up in front of him all the way, and he was slightly panting.
"Are you okay?" Lu Zhixue was startled when she saw Song Yunzhao's expression.
Han Jinyi also paused and looked over when he heard the words, seeing that Yun Zhao's complexion was indeed not very good-looking, and he became a little worried, "Why is your face so pale?"
Song Yunzhao shook his head slightly, "I'm fine, don't worry, let's go."
Even if the three of them lowered their voices, they would still be seen when they got together, so they couldn't be charged with disrespect by the Queen Mother.
Entering the Shouci Palace, the Empress Dowager did not ask people to leave immediately, but sat on the throne, looked at the emperor and said: "If the emperor has something to do, he will go and get busy. The Ai family is bored alone, just to talk to everyone."
Feng Yi sat down directly when he heard the words, without looking at the Queen Mother, he glanced at the crowd and said: "Today I mainly stay with the Queen Mother, other things are fine."
Song Yunzhao couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. The emperor almost didn't say clearly that he was here to supervise the queen mother in case of trouble.
"The emperor is purely filial to the empress dowager, so naturally the empress dowager is the main one." Concubine Zhuang said with a smile.
Feng Yi's face was expressionless, and he didn't even look at Concubine Zhuang.
The Empress Dowager didn't care about the cold face of the emperor, she looked at Concubine Zhuang and said, "The first time Ai's family returned to the palace, Concubine Zhuang told Ai's family who were present, so Ai's family could recognize them."
Concubine Zhuang immediately responded, and started introducing Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu was already dissatisfied when she heard that the Empress Dowager was carrying Concubine Zhuang. At this time, before Concubine Zhuang could speak, she stood up and said, "My concubine Lu, the emperor has granted Concubine Shu a high priority, please greet the Queen Mother."
Concubine Zhuang: …
Song Yunzhao just laughed, it was a good sentence that the emperor valued, the empress dowager praised concubine Zhuang, and concubine Shu moved the emperor out, it was her nature to be tough with the empress dowager.
The melons I saw with my own eyes were even tastier.
