After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 198
During breakfast the next day, people from the Palace of Compassion and Ning came, and it was said that the Empress Dowager had summoned them.

Although it is said that this is an empty queen mother, but in the end it is an elder, Ruan Yuyi put down the jade chopsticks in her hand, and said softly, "Let me prepare a little, and I will come in a while."

The palace man got the letter and went to reply.

Speaking of which, during the last time she got along with the Queen Mother, she could see that the Queen Mother didn't like her very much, but now that it was passed on to her suddenly, she was a little confused about what the Queen Mother was thinking.

She took off the two hairpins, and Yi Yisu cleaned her dress and left.

When they arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Empress Dowager was sitting on the side of the couch, twisting a bracelet of Buddhist beads, and some refreshments and fruits were placed on the low table.Seeing someone coming, she waved her hand to greet Ruan Yuyi to come forward, with a rare smile.

Ruan Yuyi couldn't go forward directly, but after saluting in a proper manner, she followed the lead of the Queen Mother and sat down on the other side of the short table.

When the queen mother gave birth to the eldest princess, she was not too young, and now she is even older, so even if her hands are well maintained, she never does rough work, and after all, they are wrinkled like ordinary people.

She kept rubbing Ruan Yuyi's hand, thought for a while, took off the jade bracelet on her wrist and put it on for her.

She retracted her hand, but she was caught by her fingertips, and she still couldn't escape.

She just felt that the bracelet was heavy and weighed heavily on her hand.Regarding the gesture of the Queen Mother stroking her hand, although she knew that the Queen Mother wanted to express her kindness, it still made her feel uncomfortable.

The Queen Mother took a sip of tea before saying slowly, "You are really a good boy. It is really hard for you to manage the harem these days. The Ai family has also held the phoenix seal before, so they know how complicated it is. There is no need to hide, This is what you deserve."

She suppressed the discomfort in her heart, skillfully evoked a submissive smile, "The empress dowager is serious, it's just a matter of duty."

The Empress Dowager looked at her and nodded, her eyes filled with relief.

The nurse standing beside her said with a smile, "The old slave said that Concubine Jin can bear this burden, so you still have to worry about it."

She held the cup of tea uncomfortably, sipping it from time to time.But the tea only touches the lips, not the mouth.

"Oh, I'm sorry for that child of the Rong family. Luckily, Concubine Jin is also a well-behaved person," the queen mother echoed, and said, "I heard that the emperor stopped your decoction recently?"

Ruan Yuyi felt that the Empress Dowager was about to get to the point, so she put down the teacup and nodded, "Yes."

"It's a good thing. You have to do your best to spread your wings for the royal family."

Her eyebrows twitched, but she still responded softly.

She glanced at the Empress Dowager's expression, and saw that the gaps on her face stretched out, as if it was just a simple order to the junior.She tentatively said, "It's just that the sisters in the palace are weak after all, and the concubines can't persuade Your Majesty."

The Empress Dowager's fingertips twirling the bracelet froze for a moment, and the smile in her eyes became more genuine, "It's true. It's hard for you to be so magnanimous, and still remember so much. If you were someone else, you would wish to monopolize it."

She lowered her head and seemed to smile shyly, her temple hair outlined her cheeks, and she had beautiful but clear eyes.

The Empress Dowager was satisfied, and her voice became much gentler, "So Ai's family has been thinking about it for the past few days. If this is not possible, we must add a few more people to the palace."

"It's just that Yang'er has always hated Aijia for the child, and he won't listen to Aijia's words."

Ruan Yuyi said softly, "Your Majesty, just give orders." Anyway, there will be no shortage of people in the palace in the future, if you take this opportunity to please the Empress Dowager, it will also prevent him from coming to her all the time.

"The Ai family thinks that Qi'er is good. She is kind-hearted and considerate, so she can share some of the burden for you."

This is the purpose of this empress dowager.

The queen mother paid attention to Ruan Yuyi's expression, trying to see some reluctance, but she didn't.

"The concubine also thinks that Miss Bai is a good person." She followed the queen mother's words.To her, it doesn't matter whether it's Bai Zhiqi or Huang Zhiqi, everyone is the same, as long as she can help distract him from her.

She didn't understand why the Queen Mother wanted to insert a girl from her own mother's clan in order to help her secure her position.

After listening to her words, the Queen Mother even said hello a few times, and a smile almost burst out on her face.With the help of Chang'an Palace, the rest will be much easier.

"It's just that the concubine is afraid that it will be inconvenient to speak directly to His Majesty—"

The Empress Dowager's complexion changed.

Ruan Yuyi continued, "The concubine has a plan here..." She lowered her voice slightly, and sent the words into the Queen Mother's ear.

The more she listened, the more relaxed she looked.
.
Ruan Yuyi sat at the Empress Dowager's place for an hour before stepping out.

The outside is no different than in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and it is still snowing.She gathered up her cloak, shedding the pretense of being calm and docile in front of the Queen Mother.She asked Mu Xiang softly, "Is it really right for me to do this?"

"Miss has her own reasons." Mu Xiang just stood firmly by her side, not to mention that the emperor's family was ruthless, so it was not suitable to give her heart.

She calmed down a little.

Outside the Chang'an Palace, there was a tall figure standing with a qin in front of him. He seemed to sense someone coming from behind him, and when he turned around, his clothes fluttered like light smoke.His cold eyes were stained with a smile, "I have seen your mother."

Ruan Yuyi stopped at a suitable distance, and said softly, "I don't remember that I ever summoned you."

Xuan Rao lowered her head even more, "It's just a small disturbance."

"Come in." She stepped across the threshold, revealing a corner of exquisitely decorated red-embroidered shoes under her dress.

Inside the hall, the warmth from the charcoal fire and the smell of incense permeated the air, making people in it relax.Cen Li entered and added some fruits to the plate.

Xuan Rao lowered her head and put on the qin, and said suddenly, "What happened to your empress?"

"Why do you say that?" She went to pick up the candied fruit and gave a pause.

His voice is very clear, like a clear spring passing over a stone, and a single face can easily coax people to relax their vigilance, "I see that your mother's complexion is not good, she seems to have something on her mind."

worry?What's on her mind.

If Bai Zhiqi's side is successful, she should also feel lighthearted.

"Maybe it's a small matter." He plucked the strings and said softly, "Your Majesty, you should use less medicine and take care of yourself." He raised his head and met Cen Li's eyes.From an angle that Ruan Yuyi couldn't see, Cen Li slightly nodded at him.

He went on to say, "I don't know what kind of medicine my aunt has taken recently? I have a senior brother who knows a little bit about medicine, so I think he can help my aunt."

Although this reason is easy to find, at least it has fulfilled the new emperor's order.

As for his senior brother who has a little knowledge of medicine, there is indeed someone, so he can't be regarded as a lie.

Although he pretended to be a daughter in the play, he was a man after all, and the new emperor would not let him easily enter and leave the palace.

But the new emperor took a fancy to his hands and voice, showed his loyalty to him, and watched him act respectfully and politely, so he allowed him to enter the palace to meet her.

Right now, he is saying this in order to help the new emperor test her, whether there is another medicine that has been found to take the medicine.

Hearing what she said, she only thought he was kind, and said, "I haven't taken any medicine recently."
