Chapter 489 Chapter 490: I have a bad feeling
"An Bi is the niece of the Queen Mother, and she should serve her well." Song Yunzhao did not comment on An Shutong, who is also a heavyweight supporting actress in the book.
Qin Xiyue fell, but she is still here. It is hard to say how things will develop in the future.
Anyway, she is now adopting the attitude of being immovable even if the enemy does not move. If An Shutong is smart and everyone does not interfere with the river, they will naturally be able to live peacefully in the future.
However, both the Queen Mother and An Shutong are ambitious people. She doesn't know if they can calm down and stop fighting.
Concubine Shu didn't hear the profound meaning of Yun Zhao's words and only said: "What you said makes sense. It was all because of the Queen Mother that she could enter the palace."
After finishing their conversation, the two of them separated at the fork in the road and went back to their respective palaces.
Song Yunzhao stepped into the main hall of Yaohua Palace, a wave of warmth came over his face, and his whole body felt relaxed. It was too cold outside.
He leaned against the smoke cage to warm himself up and dissipate the coldness from his body. Then he entered the inner hall and saw the wet nurse playing with Feng Yun.
Hearing Yun Zhao's voice, Feng Yun's little head turned to look at her. Yun Zhao looked at his son with a genuine smile, stepped forward, picked him up and held him in his arms.
The little person has now begun to learn to sit, but he still cannot sit firmly.
The wet nurse bent down and left Xiangxue and others to bring tea.
Yunzhao took a sip of hot tea and saw Feng Yun's eyes staring at her tea cup, and she couldn't help but feel happy.
"You can't drink this now." Yun Zhao said with a smile, and asked someone to bring warm milk, while he fed him spoonful by spoonful.
Feng Yun drank it in small sips, drinking happily and dancing very cutely.
Jiangxiang lifted the curtain and came in. He bowed and said, "Madam, the Liu Shang Bureau and the steward from the inner courtyard are asking for a meeting. When do you think we can meet him?"
Looking for her at this time is probably for the next year.
Feng Yi is not in the palace this year, but the palace banquet still has to be held. It’s just that Yun Zhao doesn’t want to make a big fuss and just wants to get together with the concubines in the palace.
It would be too arrogant to order the woman into the palace at this time.
Thinking of this, he said to Jiangxiang: "Let them come the next day."
“Yes.” Jiangxiang went out to deliver the message.
Yun Zhao looked at Xiangxue and said, "When you have time, go to Cuiwei Palace and ask the third concubine to discuss the annual banquet."
“I’ll take note of it,” Xiangxue responded.
Song Yunzhao watched his son, who had become a roly-poly again, fall backwards, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, making him laugh even more happily.
Yun Zhao's depressed mood was relieved a little. Before she could catch her breath, someone from Shouci Palace was sent over, and the Queen Mother asked her to come over.
Yunzhao:…
She had just returned from Shouci Palace, and no one was happy to be asked to go back in the wind and snow.
However, Yun Zhao still handed the second prince to the nanny again, and while Grandma Yu was watching, he put on his big cloak and asked someone to prepare a warm sedan and went all the way to Shouci Palace.
Having walked halfway, the warm sedan stopped for a moment, and heard Concubine Zhuang's voice coming from outside. Yun Zhao lifted the curtain and looked out, "Sister Concubine Zhuang, where are you going?"
Concubine Zhuang was also sitting in a warm sedan chair and was about to get off the sedan chair to salute Yun Zhao. Yun Zhao quickly stopped her and said, "There is no one else in this cold weather, so don't follow these rules."
Concubine Zhuang thanked her and then said: "The Queen Mother sent a message for me to come over. I am on my way to Shouci Palace."
Concubine Zhuang was obviously a little surprised, so she followed the concubine's lead and walked away. When they arrived outside Shouci Palace, the two got off the warm sedan and walked together.
Concubine Zhuang walked to Yun Zhao and lowered her voice and said, "I don't know why the Queen Mother is meeting us. Your concubine just paid greetings to the Queen Mother this morning, right?"
Song Yunzhao nodded, "Yes."
Concubine Zhuang frowned slightly, "I didn't hear that there was anything important going on in Shouci Palace."
Song Yunzhao didn't know either. He looked at Concubine Zhuang and said, "We'll find out when we go in."
When the maid from Shouci Palace saw the two of them, she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello. Another person raised the curtain and went in to report back.
The palace servants opened the curtain, and Yun Zhao and Concubine Zhuang went in. They took off their cloaks and handed them to the palace servants to hang them up. After arranging their appearance, they entered the inner hall to pay homage to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother is sitting on the warm couch in the clinic. Her face looks a little sallow, her eyebrows are slightly drooped, and she seems to be in low spirits.
An Shutong stood by and watched the two people come in. He stepped forward and curtsied, "I have met the imperial concubine and the concubine Zhuang."
“Concubine An, there is no need to be polite, please get up.” Song Yunzhao showed a perfect smile, and then looked at the Queen Mother, “I have met the Queen Mother.”
Concubine Zhuang saluted along with the noble concubine, and then she listened to the Queen Mother say: "Everyone, get up, sit down and talk."
The two of them took their seats, but the Queen Mother did not speak again.
An Shutong said softly from the side: "Concubine Shu and Concubine Wan have not arrived yet."
Song Yunzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, did he call everyone here?
The Queen Mother did not speak, and Yun Zhao also kept smiling and not taking the initiative.
Concubine Zhuang had something on her mind at the moment and didn't want to speak. The palace suddenly became quiet.
After a while, the palace attendants lifted the curtain and came in to serve tea. An Shutong personally gave it to the imperial concubine and Zhuang Concubine, and placed it on the small table in front of her.
Even though the relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor is not very good, the Shouci Palace is the best. This tea is this year's tribute tea. The tea leaves from the old tea tree on the edge of the cliff weighed two kilograms in total. The Queen Mother's side I got half a catty, and Yun Zhao had half a catty.
With one kilogram left, the emperor rewarded several ministers and kept two taels for himself.
Now that the Queen Mother brought this tea, Yun Zhao felt that there must be something big going on. Anyway, when she came to greet her as usual, she didn't drink the tea.
Soon, there were footsteps and low voices outside. After a while, Concubine Shu and Concubine Wan came in together. When they came in, they were stunned when they saw Concubine Yun Zhao and Concubine Zhuang.
After seeing the Empress Dowager and then Yun Zhao, they took their seats.
When everyone was gathered, the Queen Mother raised her head and looked at them, and said in a weak voice, "The Ai family has called you here because they have something to discuss."
As a noble concubine, Yun Zhao had many disagreements with the Queen Mother, so she kept smiling and kept silent.
Concubine Wan was always reticent in front of the Queen Mother. Concubine Zhuang looked at Concubine Shu. She was silent for a moment and then said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has something to say. I am naturally willing to share the worries of the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Zhuang, but she glanced at Song Yunzhao from the corner of her eyes, looking at her with her eyes lowered and her lips pursed slightly.
“I don’t have much else to do. After the winter comes, I stay in bed with my family. I miss my family very much, so I want to take Mrs. Gu Enhou into the palace to stay for a few days.”
This is not a big deal. The Queen Mother wants to just bring people in directly, but calling them all here to give orders is definitely not that simple.
Song Yunzhao had a vague premonition that something was not good, but he could not guess what the Queen Mother was thinking.
The second update is complete, hey, my little cuties.
