Nanny Hua signaled her not to make a sound and followed her to the Yangxin Palace.
The lights in the Yangxin Palace are always bright. The Empress Dowager looks good and is drinking calming tea.
When he saw Qiao Yuange being brought over by Nanny Hua, he smiled.
But the old lady's smile did not reach her eyes, and there was a scary feeling that she was smiling on the outside but not on the inside, as if she was holding back something good.
"Qiao girl, I thought you were a smart girl. I placed you by the emperor's side, but why didn't you help me at all?"
Obviously, she called Qiao Yuange over at this time, either to call her back to question her or to make a request.
Qiao Yuange knelt on the ground and asked earnestly, "Whatever the Empress Dowager wants to know, I will tell you."
One of Qiao Yuange's strengths is that he can change his attitude according to the situation.
This is also one of the reasons why she can still barely survive in the harem.
The Queen Mother smiled immediately, raised her head and pretended to think for a moment before saying, "I just want to know, how does the Emperor feel now?"
With this old lady's intelligence, how did she manage to sit on the throne of Queen Mother?
Although Qiao Yuange complained in his heart, he still said, "Your Majesty is in a good mood?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally harmonious atmosphere was immediately broken.
The Queen Mother slammed the table and immediately stood up, staring at Qiao Yuange with an icy tone: "How dare you! Do you really think I'm old and foolish? Is the Emperor in a good mood? Xiao Yuli has already entered the palace, how can the Emperor be in a good mood?"
You already know this and you're asking me?
Qiao Yuange was about to be pissed off by the old man in front of her, but she also knew that the old man must be quite capable. Since she couldn't beat him, she had to be honest and could only complain a little in her heart.
She kowtowed twice and said to the Queen Mother in a serious and honest manner: "Quickly calm down, Queen Mother. I will do whatever you want me to do."
The Queen Mother finally calmed down her anger, and it seemed that she had found a way out.
She sat down and said with deep emotion: "Qiao girl, don't forget that your cousin is the virtuous king and your eldest aunt is the Queen Mother Qiao. Do you know what kind of life your cousin has lived these years? Since the emperor took that position, your cousin has not had a single day of peace."
"It's because the Emperor is afraid of his elder brother that he has been on guard all along, preventing your cousin from approaching the palace for many years. Now that the Emperor has secured his position, he is willing to let your cousin enter the palace."
The Queen Mother spoke with such sincerity that Qiao Yuange began to believe it in his heart.
After all, according to the order of birth, Xiao Yuli seems to be more suitable to be the crown prince. If it weren't for the trouble caused by Concubine Qiao and the Queen Mother, this matter would be more logical.
It's normal for Xiao Yuli to feel unbalanced.
Seeing Qiao Yuange didn't say anything, the Queen Mother gave Aunt Hua a look. Aunt Hua was so smart that she immediately said, "Qiao girl, the first thing we need to do now is to find a way to get Concubine Ming to sleep with us."
Qiao Yuange raised his head suddenly, looked at the Queen Mother and said, "Queen Mother, do you know that Concubine Ming..."
She cheated on the emperor, and there was no emperor in her heart at all!
Qiao Yuange still didn't say this out loud.
She changed the subject and finally whispered, "Maybe she doesn't like the emperor?"
The Queen Mother also paused, as if she had noticed something, and then pretended not to care and said, "What's the point of liking this thing? She is a concubine. In addition to surviving in the deep palace, she also has to contribute to the family. Everyone is the same, including you."
Qiao Yuange still didn't say anything, so the Queen Mother said, "Tomorrow there will be another girl entering the palace, and she has some affinity with you. Remember, no matter what, in order to allow the Emperor to consummate his marriage with Concubine Ming, you must give more advice to the girls entering the palace."
"You go down first."
When Qiao Yuange came out of the Yangxin Palace, she felt so handsome. Apart from anything else, the empress dowager seemed to have overestimated Qiao Yuange by making these demands on her.
Who is she? She controls everything, but can she control people's shit and fart?
Ming Fei didn't work hard herself, and the Emperor didn't have any feelings for her at all. So the two of them were forced to be together. Not to mention consummating their marriage, it was even difficult for them to have a meal together.
And the girl who is coming tomorrow? This girl is probably a fool. What kind of place is this palace? It's just a shithole. Don't expect to have a good life after entering it.
Maybe this girl thought she could rise to prominence after entering the palace? People kept coming in.
Besides, the Queen Mother is really a fool. She knew that the Emperor was not interested in women, but she sent so many women to him? These women around the Emperor were basically monopolized by the Queen Mother.
Arranged marriages in the harem are terrible!
No wonder the emperor is seeking death all day long. Not only can he not avenge his concubine, but he also has to accept a wife arranged for him by his concubine's enemies. What is going on?
Qiao Yuange fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, when Qiao Yuange woke up, it was still dark.
She went out, intending to see how the emperor was doing, but she saw Eunuch Li just walked out. After seeing Qiao Yuange, he grabbed her as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw, pulled her aside, and said to her: "Are you ready?"
Qiao Yuange was confused: "Preparing for what?"
Eunuch Li sighed and said, "I heard that a girl will be sent here today. Hurry up and collect all the ropes, knives, and poisons around you."
Qiao Yuange's face darkened immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "No way? Is the emperor going to commit suicide again?"
Eunuch Li pursed his lips, nodded aggrievedly, and said helplessly: "This is inevitable. Every time Miss Xiao is sent to the palace, the emperor always cries, makes a fuss, and even threatens to hang himself. You are the emperor's noble lady and have saved the emperor many times. This time, I have to rely on you again."
Eunuch Li grabbed Qiao Yuange's hand and gave him instructions.
Qiao Yuange calmly pulled his hand away and said in confusion, "What if that girl is pretty? Wouldn't the emperor be tempted?"
Eunuch Li still shook his head and sighed, "Pretty? You said Shu Fei is not pretty? You said Ming Fei is not pretty? You said Gui Fei is not pretty?... Of course, none of them are as pretty as you, but they are all ladies from wealthy families, with good character and status, but the emperor just doesn't like them. What do you say we should do?"
Qiao Yuange thought about it and thought that the emperor might not look down on them, but because these women were all sent by the empress dowager, he didn't like them and rejected them in his heart.
As a man, women need to be respected, but they also need to save face, especially in front of their enemies.
