Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 13: Queen Mother, please have tea.

This palace is huge. I don’t know how long I walked. I walked along the long corridor and passed by the flowing water beside the corridor before I finally arrived at the residence where the Queen Mother lived.

Perhaps they had known that the prince would arrive today. The palace guards stood in front of the palace with dignity and determination. It was obvious at a glance that they were high-level warriors, but Li An could not tell what rank they were.

The wooden door of the palace was wide open, and an elderly maid was waiting with her body half hunched over.

Zhan Doudou walked in first without stopping, while the remaining few people stopped with smiles on their faces and lightened their steps. The old nanny looked at these peasants weakly, then closed her eyes slightly and waited.

Oh, quite arrogant~
Very good, Madam Rong, right? Ziwei will remember you.

Li An lowered his head with a strange expression on his face.

He saw the disdainful look in the old lady's eyes. After all, I am just a stupid college student who graduated from a third-rate undergraduate program. How can I let others look down on me?

After a while, I don't know where the old lady got the signal from. She opened her eyes and said in an unpleasant voice, "Everyone, come in."

The nanny's voice was not very loud. Several girls subconsciously adjusted some of their head ornaments. They felt a little regretful. Now, these ornaments all over their bodies made them feel even more ashamed. They wanted to take them off immediately.

Just when I wanted to see how Ang Lee would perform, I found that he had already stepped in without any hesitation.
-
Shoukang Palace was extremely grand, with a large space inside. The beams and eaves above were all made of expensive glass. So even though it was still early, the newly bright daylight still shone into the palace unobstructed, blowing away all the eerie atmosphere in these old buildings and making the space appear clear and cool.

From Ang Lee's perspective, this 'bedroom' is quite large.

I wonder if the Queen Mother is worried living alone.
The eunuchs and maids looked at the new nobleman who was looking around with strange eyes. Some speculators wanted to give him a reminder, but they seemed to have thought of something and just pursed their lips and said nothing, not even giving a subtle hint.

Fortunately, this phenomenon was restrained a lot when several people slowly walked up to the Queen Mother.

"Such a luxurious palace is enough to show how wealthy the previous Wei Dynasty was. Such wealth is unique in the world, but it is precisely because the royal family is too extravagant that the Northern Qi Dynasty has developed such a decadent and weak spirit. It is not without reason that it has been defeated by the Southern Qing Dynasty for many years."

It's not that Ang Lee likes to sigh or fantasize, but the things he saw today are too shocking.
Several women knelt on the ground again with smiles on their faces, whispering the palace etiquette that they had been told by the East Palace Nanny on the way here. Li An was a beat late, and it seemed a bit abrupt, so he pouted his lips. Although he knew that he had to kneel down the first time, Li An had always hated it.

Kneel down and think of it as worshipping your mother-in-law.

Living off a gigolo is not shameful, and working hard to live off a gigolo is also working hard.

what?
Do you want to earn money standing still?
Take a break.
"I've met the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly and looked down at the girls: "Raise your heads and let me take a closer look."

"Yes."

Li An did not dare to disobey, more importantly, he wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at what his mother-in-law looked like.

He raised his head cautiously. The biggest difficulty in this stage was to conceal his identity as a man. His every move could not be too out of line, which was difficult for his modern lifestyle. If he was not careful, he would do something that was contrary to this era.

"They are all quite good-looking." The Queen Mother looked down at everyone, but in fact she did not take them seriously.

Family members know their own affairs. Doudou married several people just to cover up his own secrets. This is fake, it is fake, and it can never be true. How can a fake marriage have a real bond and fetter? Moreover, this is the royal family.
While the Queen Mother was looking at several people, several people were also looking at the Queen Mother. Among them, Li Ang's eyes were the hottest, almost burning the Queen Mother.

how to say?

Li An knew beforehand that the Queen Mother of Northern Qi was a very powerful woman, but when he saw her in person, she was surprisingly young. I don't know if it was because of the abundant light in the palace, but the Queen Mother looked only a few years older than Zhan Doudou.

It's just that her face was painted with makeup that pretended to be majestic, and she was wearing contradictory clothes that were both loose and slim-fitting. It was really big where it should be big, and narrow where it should be narrow. One can clearly see the level of the person who designed this set of clothes.

On the gorgeous wooden couch, the Queen Mother wore a phoenix crown, her skin was white and glowing, and her appearance was absolutely beautiful. At this moment, she was lazily leaning on the table, gently tapping her temple.

In this scene, the black outer robe embroidered with gold thread makes the chest look fuller. The proud posture makes Ang Lee's pupils shrink unconsciously, and his charm is clearly visible.

Li An was still a little sleepy at first, and the effect of this refreshing action was so great and strong that he became erectile.

Yourong, is that you, Yourong?

Why does Ang Lee think this way? Because tolerance is the root of greatness.

"What does the Queen Mother think of these people?"

Zhan Doudou seemed to have a smile on her lips. She looked at Li An and the others and whispered, "Why don't you serve tea to the Queen Mother?"

Several people obeyed and did as they were told, and now they could finally stand and talk.

To everyone's surprise, the Queen Mother stared at Li An for two seconds, then looked at Zhan Doudou with a strange expression and asked, "This must be Li An'er, right?"

Zhan Doudou was slightly surprised when he heard this. He thought that the positions of the people were messy and it was hard to tell who was who. Today it was just a formality. He didn't expect that his mother actually knew Li Ang's name. Could it be that his mother knew something?
Frightened, Zhan Doudou quickly adjusted his expression and replied, "My mother has a good eye. She is Li An'er. However, they are new to my mother and are not familiar with the etiquette of the palace. I am really worried. If anything happens..."

The Queen Mother slowly reached out her hand to stop Zhan Doudou from speaking, but she was thinking in her heart:

Doudou spent the night in this person's room yesterday. Even if it was a show for outsiders to see, there was still a risk of being exposed. I still have to keep a close eye on this person in the future, and don't let any news leak out.
Among the few people, she felt that Li An'er was particularly strange at first sight, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't help but want to take a few more glances.
It's really strange.

"No problem."

Maids came forward slowly with several wooden boxes in their arms, opened them one by one, revealing the precious ornaments inside.

"I've been unlucky this morning. I have a headache, foot pain, and chest pain. I've seen this person before. If there's nothing else, let them all leave." This Li An'er is really weird. No, I can't look at her again, just one more time.
The girls understood that it was time to serve tea.

It’s just that His Highness slept in Sister An’er’s room last night, so she should be served the first cup of tea. But why don’t you move? Are you able to see anything by staring at the Queen Mother?
Feeling Zhan Doudou's sword-like eyes, Li An was dissatisfied and unhappy. What's going on? Didn't the Queen Mother ask us to look up and take a closer look?
Taking the teacup, he said, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Several women hurriedly followed.

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."
