The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

"Both Mrs. An and Mrs. Xie are here?" Empress Lu had just changed back to her regular clothes when she heard the report from her servant, she stroked the chessboard and chuckled, "Sure enough, they are the masters in charge of the harem!"

The mother in front of her saw her with a half-smile, thinking that her own queen might not be happy to see them: "If you don't want to see them, can I go out and persuade them to leave?"

"See! Why didn't you see me?!" Empress Lu didn't change her clothes anymore, and walked to the outer hall unhurriedly.

Concubine An invited Concubine Xie to go with her through the maid of the Yilan Palace, and when the two met, they found that the other party had changed into formal attire, so they couldn't help laughing.

"I don't know if I can see the queen today." After asking the servants of Anluan Palace to inform, Concubine Xie looked at the palace door in front of her and whispered to Concubine An.

"Let's see what the empress arranges." Guifei An slowly shook her head.

Concubine Xie nodded with a smile: "Yes."

After talking for a while, Empress Lu came out.

"The concubine has met the empress." Concubine An and Concubine Xie immediately stood up and saluted in unison.

Empress Lu turned her gaze around their faces: "Two noble concubines, please get up quickly! Come here, hurry up and serve refreshments to the two noble concubines."

Concubine An and Concubine Xie did not expect to see each other for nearly ten years. Empress Lu's appearance has not changed, but her temperament is completely different from before. The former Concubine Hui Lu was a serious and cold beauty!

"The two noble concubines are rare visitors. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years... I think it's hard to see each other in this lifetime, but I don't think I'll see you again today."

"Yeah, time flies, and now it's here." Concubine An didn't want to mention the time, and seeing Concubine Xie pursed her lips from the corner of her eyes, she couldn't help but take the initiative to answer, "The concubine was still young at the beginning, but now she is born at the temples. White hair."

"Concubine An is humble. I see that your face is the same as before. Except for a little more power, it is different from Wuyou back then." Empress Lu praised Concubine An, and her eyes focused on Concubine Xie's face.

"Grand Concubine Xie still looks like she did when she first entered the mansion. It can be seen that living in the palace is very comfortable."

"Your Majesty has praised me absurdly, and my concubine is getting old." Concubine Xie Guifei said softly, "There is often gorgeous hair under the crown, and it is often dyed back."

Her answer was also very polite, and she didn't dare to speak casually.Thinking back when I was in Qiandi, my relationship with Empress Lu was not as good as that of Concubine An, so I dare not speak too intimately.

Although she believed that she had no grievances with Empress Lu, but everyone in the know said that it was her appearance that embarrassed Empress Lu's position, so it was difficult for her to remain natural in front of Empress Lu.

Now following Concubine An to Anluan Palace, what she did was just the rules and words, so that her sons and daughters would not be affected.

"Concubine Xie is still so humble."

Empress Lu's plain words made Concubine An's eyelids twitch.

She naturally knew the gap between Empress Lu and Concubine Xie.

Even though she was the last one to enter the mansion among the three, she is a good planner, a good planner, and what she likes most is to find out all the clues.

She has lived in Prince Hui's Mansion for more than ten years, and she has already made her heart clear.

It was as if now, from the unfamiliar and polite conversation between Empress Lu and Concubine Xie, she could see the waves with shallow water ripples.

"Concubine Chen and Concubine Xie came to meet the empress, firstly, they wanted to greet you personally, and secondly, they wanted to ask the empress when you plan to call someone to pay your respects." Concubine An did not want to sit in an awkward environment for a long time, so she simply had nothing to say.

Unexpectedly, Empress Lu shook her head upon hearing the words.
