Concubine Qi failed to fulfill Concubine Mao’s wish.

On this day, Yao Jiaxin went to Cining Palace to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, and happened to meet Concubine Qi outside Cining Gate.

Concubine Qi was wearing a lucky dress for the concubine. The auspicious dress that was so integrated in the past seemed much bigger. Look at Concubine Qi's face, her face was thinner, so thin that the stork bones were a little protruding, and the wrinkles on her face became much deeper. She looked like she was ten years older.

"I wish you a blessing to the Empress." Concubine Qi hurriedly saluted.

Yao Jiaxin held the flat gold hand stove in her hand, got off the phoenix chariot, and said lightly, "Don't you give me a gift," "Is Concubine Qi's body ready?"

Concubine Qi hurriedly covered her lips and coughed twice, "It's much better than before, but she occasionally coughed twice. I heard that the Queen Mother was also coughing recently, so I came here to ask for peace."

Yao Jiaxin said lightly, then walked directly into Cining Palace.

Seeing that the queen did not take the opportunity to find her trouble, Concubine Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

The main hall of Cining Palace was filled with the strong Canaan fragrance, and there was a faint smell of medicine. Yao Jiaxin saw a bowl of medicine on the rosewood kang at the head of the bed, which showed that the Queen Mother had just taken medicine.

The Empress Dowager was sitting tilted on the arhat couch next to the window, leaning behind her four or five soft satin pillows, with white marten mattresses under her body, and a thick ancient satin quilt below her waist and a belly. - The charcoal fire in the hall was so warm, but it was still a thick quilt that should be covered with such a thick quilt, which shows that the Empress Dowager's condition has worsened.

Yao Jiaxin didn't have time to see more, so she squatted and said, "Please pay tribute to the emperor's mother."

"I wish you a blessing to the Empress Dowager!" Concubine Qi hurriedly knelt down and said respectfully: "I have been neglecting to pay my respects forever, and I also ask the Empress Dowager to forgive me for his crime."

The Queen Mother raised her hand weakly, "Everyone is exempt from tribute."

The queen mother glanced at the sick and damaged Concubine Qi and sighed, "Concubine Qi is much more haggard."

Concubine Qi burst into tears in an instant, "It's all because of my inability to teach my children, so that Hongshi took the wrong path!"

Yao Jiaxin glanced at Concubine Qi, and her old and haggard face was already full of tears. She cried as soon as she said she could. I don’t know if it was true or if she was crying.

The Empress Dowager said lightly: "Hongyun and Huaike are still very well-behaved and filial."

Concubine Qi secretly looked at the empress dowager's cold and ruthless face, and she felt desperate, so she had to nod her head with tears in her eyes, "I am sick, thanks to Huaike who often comes to the palace to serve."

Last winter, Hongshi's concubine Dong E family was about to give birth to a child, but she really gave birth to a son as she wished. Unfortunately, Hongshi was promoted, and this child was not considered the eldest grandson of the emperor. After the third month of the lunar month, the Fourth Master did not give any rewards - this is normal. The Fourth Master even doesn't want Hongshi's son, let alone the grandson.

Concubine Qi couldn't help but say, "Suochuoluo, since the New Year, has been in the palace to pay tribute." Concubine Qi's tone was full of resentment.

Yao Jiaxin raised her eyebrows. Concubine Qi has always been dissatisfied with Hongyun and Fujin, but she felt that Suochouo was well-behaved and was well-behaved, and would not easily lose her word. She said, "Can you get sick by you a few years ago?"

Concubine Qi choked, "Thank you for your care, the Queen, Suo Chuoluo is well-behaved. She has never been sick by Hongyun in recent years. How could she be sick by me now?"

Yes, Socholuo has a good body. Hongyun, who has been taking care of many serious and minor illnesses over the years, has never been infected.

Concubine Qi began to complain again: "I am very blessed. Hongshi was rejected by the emperor. Hongyun was in poor health. He originally hoped that he would have a virtuous and filial daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, he had to work hard to get married. Huaike left his children to serve me."

As he said that, Concubine Qi's eyes turned red again.

Yao Jiaxin: Is it a lawsuit filed by my mother-in-law for her daughter-in-law?

Yao Jiaxin couldn't help but say, "Okay, Concubine Qi! The Queen Mother's body is incompatible, so you can just nag a few less!"

Concubine Qi choked and had to hold back her resentment towards her daughter-in-law.

At this time, a girl in a pink and blue flag uniform walked in quickly holding a plate of candied fruit in her hand, "Empress Dowager, this is candied crabapple, so sweet."

The girl's voice was even sweeter.

Yao Jiaxin looked closely and saw that the girl looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Even though she was wearing a thick winter dress, she still had a slender waist. Her face was covered with sweet dimples, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her cherry lips were a little, which made her look really a sweet and charming woman.

The Empress Dowager smiled, "The Ai family has finished the medicine long ago!" Although she said that, the Empress Dowager still took two pieces of candied fruit and put them into her mouth, and smiled at the girl, "Ruhui, this is the Empress Yao Jia and Concubine Qi Li."

Ru Hui?

It seems that this sweet little princess is the queen mother's niece Wu Yaruhui. The queen mother did not lie, and she really looked very beautiful.

Wu Ya Ruhui's smile remained the same, and Yingying kneeled down, "Little girl Ruhui pays me a blessing to the Empress, and wishes the Empress a thousand years of peace."

Yao Jiaxin smiled and nodded, "He is so beautiful and well-behaved." As she said that, she raised her hand and said, "Get up quickly."

"Yes!" Wu Yaruhui responded obediently, stood up, and then bent her knees slightly towards Concubine Qi, "Well, Concubine Qi."

Concubine Qi secretly looked at the princess of the outstanding Uya and whispered: "I am a little wise man. Is this little princess the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager?"

The queen mother swallowed the candied fruit in her mouth and said, "Ruhui is the brother of the Ai family and the daughter of Cheng'en Gongboqi."

Yao Jiaxin thought to herself that she was the daughter of the benefactor of the Uya family. Then marrying his younger brother Wenzhuo is really a match.

Concubine Qi's heart skipped a beat, that is, the empress dowager's niece?

Concubine Qi showed a surprised look, "Is it the emperor's legitimate cousin? This cousin is so cute!"

Yao Jiaxin was stunned. Why did she pull it on the Fourth Master? Uh... Concubine Qi must have thought it wrong.

Yes, before the marriage is decided, the empress dowager will certainly not yell around, so Concubine Qi just makes up for it.

Wu Ya Ruhui quickly lowered her head and whispered: "Empress Qi is acclaimed."

Yao Jiaxin said intimately: As far as she knows, Mrs. Chengen is old. Ruhui, who is sixteen or seventeen years old, is obviously not a legitimate child, but Wenzhuo wants to re-establish, so it is not easy to pick too much. It is not important to have a legitimate wife. Temperament and character are the most important.

"Cough cough!" The empress dowager suddenly coughed violently twice. Wu Yaruhui hurriedly rinsed a cup of loquat sugar water, served the empress dowager and drank it. Her little hand gently stroked the empress dowager's chest. The empress dowager was a little better.

Yao Jiaxin saw this, Wu Ya Ruhui was very careful and clever.

The Queen Mother sighed, "I'm old!"

Yao Jiaxin quickly comforted: "The Empress Dowager just felt the cold and would be cured soon."

Wu Ya Ruhui suddenly knelt down: "The Queen Mother's cough is so severe, Ruhui is really worried. Ruhui wants to stay and serve the Queen Mother." As he said that, Wu Ya Ruhui kowtowed heavily.

The Empress Dowager was stunned. She just called Ruhui here today and showed it to the Queen. Is this girl... really filial or... the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes.

Yao Jiaxin also raised her eyebrows and stayed in the palace to serve as the queen mother. You must know that not everyone can stay in the inner palace. She has always been either a concubine or a beautiful girl. Wu Yaruhui's request is obviously unruly, but... Yao Jiaxin didn't interrupt and asked the queen mother to make the decision by herself.

At this time, Concubine Qi jumped out, "This Wuya Ge Ge is really filial! The Empress Dowager is so blessed!"
