A large group of people arrived at Cining Palace
Su Mala Gu came out to pay her respects and said, "This servant greets Her Majesty the Empress and all the ladies. The Empress Dowager is not yet ready to dress and is currently keeping you company. Please wait a moment."
Although Su Ma La Gu paid her respects to the Empress and others, no one truly accepted the greeting; they all turned away to avoid it. Su Ma La Gu was different from ordinary people; Emperor Kangxi held her in high esteem. She designed the clothing for the Qing Dynasty when it first entered the Central Plains, and it has been used ever since.
Empress Hesheli said, "In that case, I shall go and help the Empress Dowager with her bathing and grooming."
Sumalagu replied, "The Empress Dowager does not like to be served by unfamiliar people. Please wait a moment, Your Highnesses."
After saying that, he went straight into the inner hall.
Wanwan and the others waited for the Empress Dowager to come out.
After Sumalagu entered the inner palace, the Empress Dowager had already finished getting ready. She had already gotten ready, but she really disliked this Empress. Although Kangxi didn't know, she had been in the harem for so many years, how could she not know what kind of person Empress Hesheli was?
How could a young woman confined to her chambers be called a "perfect woman" by the outside world? How did Hesheli acquire these reputations? She knew perfectly well.
However, because Ao Bai held absolute power at the time, he had to seek Sony's support in order to select a concubine's daughter as the empress for the emperor.
However, this also completely severed the marriage alliance between the Khorchin Mongols and the Qing Dynasty, since both her aunt, Bumbutai, and the current Empress Dowager, her niece were empresses.
Because of Ao Bai, she had to choose a concubine's daughter to be the empress. Although she chose her own daughter, if the empress could manage the harem well, although she was unhappy, it was understandable. However, she knew very well how dirty the empress's hands were while she was in the harem.
Perhaps only the Emperor truly believed that his Empress was a virtuous woman, or perhaps he was aware of it himself, but he had no choice because he needed Sony's support.
After leaving them waiting for a while, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager finally came out. "I'm late. As people get older, they are not as healthy as you young people," she said. Her face seemed peaceful and serene, and you could not tell that she had deliberately left them waiting.
The Empress Dowager also took her seat. She didn't understand Mandarin, so she rarely interacted with the Emperor's concubines. Each time she paid her respects, she simply sat quietly beside her aunt.
The Empress Dowager could say she was late, but the concubines dared not say she was late.
Empress Hesheli replied, "It is the duty of your concubines and I to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. However, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are considerate of us and have designated the first and fifteenth of each month for this purpose. If we do not come earlier, it would be truly unfilial and impolite of us."
Wanwan thought to herself, 'Look how eloquent she is!'
Although Wanwan came from the apocalypse, she was a top student before the apocalypse. How could she not understand the Qing Dynasty, which was as transparent as a sieve?
Moreover, as a wood-type ability user, she naturally possesses an affinity for others and could sense the Empress Dowager's dislike for the Empress. After her mind raced for ten seconds, she quickly analyzed the reason.
So the Empress really knows how to talk. It's obvious that the Empress Dowager dislikes her and doesn't want to see her, which is why she set the day for the Empress Dowager to pay her respects on the first and fifteenth of each month. But in her mouth, it's said that the Empress Dowager is being considerate of her.
As she spoke, the Empress led the concubines to rise and pay their respects. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager enjoy boundless blessings and peace. I also pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. May the Empress Dowager enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
"Rise," said the Empress Dowager. "Which one is Consort Ming? Rise so I can see her."
