Chapter 25 Why must I be a favorite concubine?
The Queen Mother always felt like she was punching cotton when it came to Zhao Miaomiao. She wanted to scold her, hit her, and intimidate her, but it was all useless.
In the end, the Queen Mother could only wave her hand and said, "Forget it, I have nothing more to say. Please sit down, Lanpin."
Zhao Miaomiao: "Oh, okay."
After sitting down, Zhao Miaomiao still felt that her performance just now was not bad. It is said that the mother-in-law will be unhappy with her daughter-in-law no matter how she looks at her.
Not to mention that the empress dowager has so many wives, it must be a headache for her.
But the Queen Mother didn't seem to make things difficult for herself.
Well, she's a good old lady.
The Queen Mother took another sip of tea, then looked at the other concubines, especially Concubine Shu with a meaningful look, and asked, "Is everything okay in the harem lately?"
The Consort Shu, who was now temporarily in charge of the harem, came out and saluted the Empress Dowager. Then, while still bowing, she replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, everything is fine."
When Shaoyao saw this, her face was full of envy, and she really wanted to tell Zhao Miaomiao: My Queen, this is the standard way to reply, learn it quickly!
The Empress Dowager was a little unhappy with Concubine Shu. Originally, she wanted Concubine Xian, who came from her mother's family, to manage the harem, but the Emperor liked Concubine Shu the most, and it was Concubine Shu who slept with him the most, so she temporarily gave the power of the harem to Concubine Shu.
After all, Concubine Shu is the emperor's childhood sweetheart, and the emotional foundation between them has existed since childhood.
Among the three concubines now, Shufei and Xianfei are secretly competing for the position of queen. Defei doesn't care, after all, she has the entire country as her backing.
The Shufei relies on the emperor's favor, while the Xianfei relies on the empress dowager's mother's family. The two sides are equally powerful and have been fighting openly and secretly.
Because of the relationship with Concubine Xian, the Empress Dowager didn't like Concubine Shu very much and always disliked her.
The Queen Mother replied, "That's all."
Concubine Shu bowed politely and respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty the Queen Mother. I will do my best to manage the six palaces."
There's an undercurrent going on here, with people fighting back and forth and fighting fiercely.
But Zhao Miaomiao didn't care at all. What she cared about most now was that she was hungry.
It’s too early to get up, and you’ll get hungry early.
But the pastries placed next to this seat were all dry and didn't look tasty at first glance.
At this time, Gao Ma, who was beside the Empress Dowager, came over and said to her, "Your Majesty, would you like to eat first? The kitchen has made your favorite seafood porridge today."
When Zhao Miaomiao heard this, her eyes lit up immediately and she immediately asked, "Wow, is it that good? Your Majesty, you even provide meals. I'm a little hungry."
Grandma Gao: ...Is there something wrong with Concubine Lan? Can't she understand what I'm saying?
Empress Dowager: ………This Concubine Lan must be sick!
Shaoyao: .....My Lady, please wake up!!!
Concubines: ...This Lanpin is so brave! !
No. 99: ………For the 100,086th time, I want to change my host!!!
The Queen Mother didn't know what to say, so she coughed a few times and asked the other concubines, "It seems that Concubine Lan wants to have breakfast in my palace today. What about you? Is there anyone else willing to stay and have breakfast with me?"
The other concubines naturally understood her expression in an instant and immediately stood up to take their leave. "Thank you, Your Majesty, but breakfast should have been prepared in my kitchen."
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Miaomiao again and said, "Princess Lan, all the concubines have left, and you are the only one left. Do you still want to stay in my palace and have breakfast?"
"right……"
Before Zhao Miaomiao could finish her words, Shaoyao behind her pulled her clothes hard. She pulled gently, afraid that Zhao Miaomiao was still not awake.
Shaoyao frantically assisted her from behind, and whispered to Zhao Miaomiao, "My queen, just say you want to serve the queen mother at dinner to show your filial piety."
When Zhao Miaomiao heard this, she thought, "Oh, I understand. It's just to please the elderly."
So Zhao Miaomiao said, "I'm worried that you're old and your hands and feet are a little clumsy, so I want to serve you dinner."
Shaoyao: ...It's over! I'm going to die!
Grandma Gao: What is Concubine Lan talking about? Is she openly calling the Empress Dowager an old fool and a senile fool?
No. 99: ………Oh well, that's it! Never mind! If this mission fails, I can always find a new host sooner rather than later.
The Queen Mother: ……………This Concubine Lan is determined to confront me, isn’t she? Does she think that I won’t dare to do anything to her for Prime Minister Su’s sake?
The empress dowager felt a little embarrassed when Zhao Miaomiao said she was old in public, and her expression gradually became ugly.
When the other concubines heard what Zhao Miaomiao said, they were all terrified. Led by Concubine Shu, they bowed to the empress dowager and said, "Then your Majesty, I will take my leave first."
The Queen Mother waved at them and said, "Go ahead."
Then he looked at Zhao Miaomiao and said, "Princess Lan, you and Aijia come into the inner hall."
