Chapter 167 The Queen Leaves the Buddhist Temple
"Please all ladies and girls come to pay homage to the Queen."
They followed her in. Bai Qinghuan braced herself and prepared to deal with it, not knowing what kind of person the Queen was. Entering the main hall of Changqiu Palace, you will see a huge palace lantern directly above you. It is a pattern of a nine-tailed phoenix spreading its wings and flying, symbolizing the supreme noble status.
There are bronze candlesticks of various shapes next to them, which are used to hold candles, but it is daytime now and they are not lit.
But one can imagine how brightly lit the Changqiu Palace would be after it was lit up at night.
On the wall, there is a mural of a phoenix flying to the sky. The colors are bright and the brushstrokes are delicate. The phoenix looks vivid and lifelike, as if it were real.
The phoenix is flying, soaring into the sky!
Not far from the mural wall is an octagonal table with a white porcelain vase on it. In the vase are a few green orchids, which emit the fragrance of orchids in the valley.
The orchid scent is not very strong, but it is totally irresistible.
As she was looking at the furnishings of Changqiu Palace, the palace maid's voice rang out: "The Queen has arrived!"
Bai Qinghuan pulled Bai Moxuan to his knees and said, "Long live the Queen!"
The queen walked slowly from the side, with two palace maids fanning her in front and eight palace maids and eunuchs following behind her.
She walked to the main seat, and the palace maid who was fanning her used the fan to cover the queen's figure. Then the queen sat down, and the accompanying palace maid straightened her clothes before the fan was removed.
"Everyone, get up."
The voice is very cold, but also very nice.
"Thank you, Queen."
Bai Qinghuan then raised her head. The Queen might have spent a long time in the Buddhist temple, as she had a strong scent of sandalwood on her body.
It smells very calming.
The queen was born into a noble family. She had a pretty face and regular facial features, with a hint of aristocratic temperament. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons and her eyes were like stars, making her face even more delicate and coordinated.
This is definitely the mother of the nation, with dignified manners and noble temperament.
She was about the same age as His Majesty, but time seemed to have forgotten her, and there was no trace of it on her face.
What does the Queen Mother think? Instead of loving a niece like this, he loves other people's daughters.
Love-brain is really incurable!
The queen exchanged a few words with her mother, the mistress of the Han family of Duke Cheng'en.
Mrs. Han couldn't hold back her tears as her precious daughter finally came out of the Buddhist temple.
When she entered the palace at the age of a flower, she thought that what awaited her was a harmonious marriage with the emperor and the role of the mother of the country.
As a result, he was forced by the Empress Dowager and Concubine Yun to take refuge in a Buddhist temple, looking gloomy and depressed.
Her daughter was so young at that time, she was like a living dead.
Fortunately, now that it has finally come out, my daughter’s good days are coming.
Although she is too old to give birth to a child at this age, as long as the fifth prince ascends the throne, her daughter will be the empress dowager.
No one dared to bully her anymore.
For the sake of his daughter, the third prince cannot be allowed to ascend the throne.
This was also the decision of her master.
Seeing her mother crying, the queen was also touched: "Mother, it's all over."
The Duke's wife wiped her tears with a handkerchief and smiled:
"Yes, yes, the Queen is right, it's all in the past."
She was truly happy for her daughter.
The ladies behind her also followed suit and managed to stop the Duke's wife from crying.
Bai Qinghuan's grandmother and aunt were also sincerely happy. If the queen came out, Concubine Yun would be suppressed.
The queen sat there, her demeanor naturally revealing a gentle, intelligent, and virtuous temperament, yet still dignified. She was more than a hundred times more sarcastic than Concubine Yun.
She gave seats to the elderly ladies and asked them about the circumstances of each family, to which the ladies answered her questions one by one.
Until the palace maid came to report that the dinner was about to begin.
The queen straightened her clothes and said, "Come with me to the Linde Palace. Don't keep His Majesty waiting for too long."
The ladies all stood up and said, "Yes."
A group of people walked out of Changqiu Palace in a mighty manner.
When we were almost at the Linde Hall, we saw the emperor leading civil and military officials waiting in front.
Bai Qinghuan guessed who he was waiting for, obviously the queen.
But by chance, on the small path nearby, Concubine Yun and Yun Yuyan walked over.
For a moment, the ministers had endless speculations in their minds.
Who is His Majesty waiting for?
When Concubine Yun met the Queen, it was like meeting an enemy, and she was extremely jealous.
This woman, why doesn’t she just die? She has to stay in the position of imperial concubine for more than ten years.
She is only one step away from becoming the queen.
Chi Ming, who was standing behind His Majesty, saw Bai Qinghuan at a glance.
You can't take your eyes off her once you see her. No matter where she is, Bai Qinghuan is the most beautiful.
It’s not appropriate to say that she stands out from the crowd, but her face is absolutely beautiful and her temperament is definitely comparable to that of the queen.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and Bai Qinghuan looked up and saw it. He smiled mischievously at him, moved his lips, and said in lip language: "Chi Ming."
After Chi Ming understood, he almost couldn't help but want to hold her hand.
It's a pity that there are so many people getting in the way here.
When the Queen saw the Emperor, she could not even hide the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, and there were more and more white hairs on his temples.
There was a flash of tenderness in his eyes, which became a little moist, and his steps couldn't help but quicken.
The emperor reached out his hand and held the queen's hand tightly: "Shu Rong, you are here."
The queen shook his hand back and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Hurry up, I'm waiting for you to go with me."
Concubine Yun stood still, unable to take a single step forward.
His fingers were clenched so tightly that the newly painted nails were broken off.
Bitch!
Regardless of their mood, all civil and military officials knelt down to pay their respects to the Queen.
His Majesty was waiting for the Queen here specifically, holding hands and walking side by side with her.
This shows the emperor's favor to the queen.
Concubine Yun was very embarrassed at this time, but she still had to step forward and pay her respects to the Queen.
The people of the Third Prince's faction were feeling uneasy. Concubine Yun was already inferior to others. What did His Majesty mean by this?
Fortunately, the queen had no children.
However, the fifth prince’s biological mother has died. Would His Majesty want to adopt the fifth prince to the Queen?
Once this idea came into my mind, it lingered in my mind.
Can't be driven away anymore.
He looked at the third prince and the fifth prince secretly.
In terms of appearance, the third prince is fair, while the fifth prince has healthy wheat-colored skin due to experience in the battlefield, with a sharp-edged face and a more imposing aura.
In terms of physique, the third prince is weak as a kitten, while the fifth prince is strong and can easily fight against a hundred people alone.
In terms of skills, the Third Prince has not made much progress in recent years, while the Fifth Prince is a master of strategic planning and has won many battles.
So sad!
You can’t compare yourself, comparing yourself with others will make you feel pissed!
It feels like they are supporting a piece of crap!
But, after so many years, they can't give up.
The third prince is weak and incompetent. Once he ascends the throne, power will be transferred downwards. This is also an important reason why they support him.
Chi Zhuoxu naturally sensed that he was being compared, and he was almost furious.
What kind of looks are they all having!
Why didn’t Chi Zhuorui die at the border!
Seeing his father leading the Queen to leave, he spoke up:
"Mother has put a lot of thought into today's banquet."
