His Majesty stayed at Qiongzhou Banquet last night.
This morning, he suddenly brought a dancer to the pleasure boat to listen to music.
This has never happened before.
This news was so shocking that in a short while, the news that His Majesty was with a dancer spread like wildfire and became known to everyone.
Naturally, people also inquired about it in the Wanshou Palace.
Ever since His Majesty did not rest in the Palace of Heavenly Purity yesterday, the spies in the Palace of Longevity have been staring in the direction of the Qiongzhou Banquet Hall.
It's just that the Qiongzhou Banquet is far away, and the Emperor has always been guarded by Lin An and others. We only know that the Emperor has been staying in the Qiongzhou Banquet last night, but we can't find out who is serving him.
I didn't expect that early this morning, His Majesty would bring the person on board the pleasure boat without warning.
"You said that His Majesty took a fancy to a dancer last night?"
In the Wanshou Palace, the Empress Dowager was leaning over a long table, writing Buddhist scriptures. When he said this, he didn't even raise his head.
"Which dancer?" She frowned for a long time, her eyes full of disbelief.
Ever since he suffered a great loss in front of the emperor, he no longer trusted the emperor.
At present, she was the legitimate mother of His Majesty and also the Empress Dowager. Even though His Majesty was not his biological daughter, due to this relationship, His Majesty had never been disrespectful to her.
But now everything is different.
The Empress Dowager needs to figure out His Majesty's every move.
"I don't know which dancer she is." The little eunuch bent over and replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty has been protecting her. The dancer covered her face with a veil. Other than knowing that she was the dancer who danced for Your Majesty last night, we know nothing else."
After hearing the Queen Mother's instructions, the young eunuch behaved well.
He knelt on the ground and told him everything he had seen.
"Your Majesty kept the person here last night?" The Queen Mother raised her head after hearing this.
"Doesn't he love that Concubine Zhao very much? Why does he start favoring a newcomer so soon?" When the Queen Mother said this, her eyes were lowered with a hint of sarcasm in them.
Seeing this, Madam Hu asked, "Does the Empress Dowager feel something is wrong?"
“I can’t detect anything wrong either.” The Queen Mother lowered her eyes and said indifferently.
"But I don't think any dancer can make the emperor take his attention away from Concubine Zhao."
It's not that she hasn't seen how the emperor dotes on his concubines.
But this person is obviously different in the emperor's heart.
The Queen Mother was still hesitating, but Madam Hu said, "I did ask around, and it turns out that there really is such a person."
"This dancer was sent by Prince Heng's Palace. She performed a dance at the Qiongzhou banquet yesterday, and that's why His Majesty took a fancy to her."
"So, does this really mean there is such a person?" If there really is such a person, they wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
"Although I don't know which palace this dancer came from, as long as it's not Concubine Zhao, it's fine." Madam Hu lowered her eyes and said, "Now the palace is full of rumors that this dancer is on a boat trip with His Majesty."
"I have come to tell you that the Emperor is very fond of this dancer."
These words were passed up by the lower levels, but the servants had no idea whether they were correct or how much weight they carried.
Madam Hu was only reporting and passing on messages to the servants.
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes in thought. After a long while, she chuckled and rubbed the Buddhist beads on her thumb: "Love family doesn't care who the emperor favors, or who he has a crush on."
"But the emperor is not in the palace now, so I have a chance to do something."
When Madam Hu heard what the Empress Dowager said, she finally remembered.
Her eyes lit up: "Empress Dowager, do you mean to take advantage of the opportunity when His Majesty is not here to send someone to inquire?"
The Queen Mother closed her eyes and trembled.
The Rong family has fallen into such a state because His Majesty is too unsympathetic.
There are no longer any members of the Rong family in the harem.
If I don't take action now, I'm afraid the Rong family will be sidelined in the future.
Thinking of this, the Queen Mother paused, rubbing her wrist in her palm.
"Go there in person."
Nanny Hu followed behind and looked at the Empress Dowager's expression for a long while, but finally she stopped talking.
She walked out of the door, looking towards the direction of the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
