Qiao Yuange followed behind and saw the expression on the emperor's face change from happy to cold as ice in an instant.
He is worthy of being an emperor. When something goes wrong, his expression changes faster than that of a child.
But she followed behind obediently.
The two of them arrived at the Empress Dowager's Hall of Mental Cultivation one after the other. At this time, they saw the Empress Dowager sitting in the small courtyard in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
There were cakes and tea on the table in the yard.
She first took a sip of tea, then looked up at the emperor.
After the incident with Concubine Ming, the Empress Dowager stayed in her Yangxin Palace for a long time and never asked about the affairs in the harem.
The emperor thought that she would not be able to hold on for long and would continue to interfere in the affairs of the harem.
After all, the Queen Mother was so eager to ascend the throne just to be able to manage the affairs of the harem. It seems that she has a strong desire to lead everyone.
But no one expected that she would hold her breath for so long, but Ru㫇 finally seemed to be unable to hold it any longer.
She knocked on the table with her hands. Concubine An was kneeling in front of her. Her clothes were torn and she looked as if she had been forcibly dragged here.
Concubine An seemed to know that the emperor was coming, so she turned around and looked at him.
The moment she saw the emperor, the expression on her face suddenly became extremely sad, as if she had too many things to say.
Concubine An's makeup was very heavy.
The powder on her face was always a little mottled. Sometimes when a gust of wind blew on her face, Qiao Yuange, who was a few meters away, felt that his face was also covered with a layer of powder.
The emperor seemed not to have seen her, and walked right past her. He first bowed casually, then looked up at the empress dowager and said, "What do you mean, mother? Do you think I've been feeling more comfortable these days, so you're looking for something for me to do?"
The Empress Dowager's eyes turned cold and she glanced at the Emperor, as if she didn't want to do these things at all, but she had to pretend that she couldn't refuse.
Then he pointed at Shu Fei next to him.
When Shu Fei was spending the morning with Qiao Yuange on the 14th day, her clothes were extremely clean and luxurious, as if she was trying to surpass the Imperial Concubine in terms of clothing material.
But when Ruo saw her again, she looked exhausted. It was obvious that she didn't get much advantage from Concubine An.
The emperor's concubine Shu Fei cast a curious look at him.
Shu Fei immediately straightened her shoulders and held her head high.
It looked as if she had done something worthy of recognition.
The emperor doesn't have the time to care what Shufei does.
So the emperor said to the queen mother without any politeness: "I asked you why you asked me to come here this time. I don't have the time to care about these evil things in your harem! If you have nothing to do, I will leave."
Seeing that the emperor had no intention of being polite to him, the queen mother immediately said to him in a cold voice: "It seems that the Ruyun family is really not worthy of your attention? Is that why you are so arrogant? You actually speak to me like this?"
Sure enough, as soon as the Queen Mother saw the Emperor, she immediately started singing her own opera, which gave the Emperor a headache.
He crossed his arms and stared at the Empress Dowager quietly, as if he wanted to see what else the old woman could say.
"I naturally don't come here to plead for the Yun family this time. I know very well what Yun Zhen did wrong last time, so I have been keeping a low profile during this period and don't want to cause any trouble in the harem."
"But there are some things that you, as the emperor, should be concerned about."
After the Queen Mother said this, she leaned back on the chair and gave Shu Fei a wink.
"Shu Fei, tell her everything that Concubine An did just now! Let's see what else this woman has to say!"
Shu Fei has been waiting for this moment for a long time!
She organized her words, then glanced at Concubine An and told her everything in detail.
Concubine An knelt there, listening to every word of Concubine Shu, and shivered continuously.
These words struck her heart like drumbeats.
Then she looked up at Shu Fei and said, "How dare you distort the facts in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor? Who gave you the courage?"
Shu Fei said to her loudly and unceremoniously, "I didn't distort the facts! Now Qiao Yuange is here too. You beat us both up. You don't think that's the end of it, do you?"
Even though the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were here, Concubine An was still very unconvinced. She curled her lips and said in a cold voice: "I look down on Qiao Yuange, so what's wrong with teaching her a lesson? If you hadn't been meddling in this, I wouldn't have taken action against you. You brought this upon yourself!"
"You think that because you are the emperor's concubine, I dare not do anything to you, right? I am the imperial concubine. In this harem, besides the empress dowager and the emperor, I am the number one person. I can punish anyone I want. If you don't even have this power, then the position of imperial concubine is meaningless, isn't it?"
Concubine An's eyes flashed and she looked at the emperor coldly.
She said this to the emperor!
And she was reminding the emperor, wanting to tell him that if there was no queen in the harem, she, the Imperial Noble Consort, would be the king!
You should be in charge of all affairs in the harem!
If the emperor dared to do anything with women without permission, she would have the right to intervene.
But she forgot that the emperor would never confuse his own affairs with those of the harem.
He has his own say in his own affairs.
Concubine An hasn't figured out the whole thing herself, yet she still wants to make decisions for the Emperor. She's really thinking too much.
The emperor did not say anything, but the queen mother could not hold back: "Except for the emperor and I, you can beat anyone you want in the harem. This is extremely arrogant, but you can't beat others for no reason!"
"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. There is no reason to beat someone up, and you want to use your title of imperial concubine to get away with it. Do you think we are all fools?"
The Empress Dowager silenced Concubine An with just a few words.
Originally, everything Concubine An said now was just far-fetched arguments.
The Queen Mother scolded her, not only because she did something wrong this time, but also because she was a member of the An family!
The Empress Dowager had long disliked the An family. Moreover, the Empress Dowager and Concubine An had been quarreling with each other for decades, so naturally they were dissatisfied with each other's relatives.
After she calmed down, Concubine An thought that she had done something wrong this time, and the Emperor and the Queen Mother would definitely make trouble for her.
After all, she is not just herself, but also the An family.
