The Legend of Noble Woman

Chapter 161 Provocation 1
"What the empress said was that yesterday's day came, and I woke up a little late today. Please come down to the empress dowager."

When Liu Zixi said this, his attitude was upright and polite.

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, "Concubine Chen is no match for the queen. Concubine Chen has to serve the old bones of Ai's family and assist in the affairs of the Six Palaces. Naturally, it is hard work. Queen, if you have nothing else to do, step down .”

"The Queen Mother..."

Empress Xia was a little dissatisfied, the queen mother actually ordered her to drive away guests!
"Get out!"

The Queen Mother sternly shouted, "The same thing, Ai Jia doesn't want to say it a third time."

"...Yes, the concubine is resigning!"

Empress Xia couldn't hide her anger, and her vicious eyes fell on Liu Zixi.

She has been bitter since Liu Zixi got the power of assistance from the Sixth Palace, and now she is even more suspicious of what method Liu Zixi used to let the Queen Mother give her this power.

How hateful!

The most important thing is that after Tan Jin died, Empress Xia suddenly felt that she was completely helpless in this harem. The Empress Dowager, who was old and not dead, was obviously not in good health, so she could just stay in Yongshou Palace.Why did she still want to meddle in the affairs of the harem? Empress Xia was really angry and annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.

Who let her natal family be merchants, not officials.

Who wouldn't be envious of a merchant's daughter who can become a country?

However, when she became a queen, she realized that she was not happy at all.She has to deal with the concubines in various palaces every day. When the emperor dotes on them, as a queen, she can only arrange them generously, and even send the beauties to the emperor's pillow to win a tolerant and modest evaluation.

Liu Zixi looked at the back of the empress and did not speak.

On the contrary, it was the queen mother who was on the side, the smile on her face suddenly sank, "Concubine Chen, do you know your mistake?"

"The concubine knows it's wrong."

Liu Zixi lowered his head.

"Since you know you're wrong, why do you still do it?"

The Empress Dowager was furious, why on earth did this child know it was wrong, and still do this?
Liu Zixi knelt on the ground and said in a clear voice: "The Empress Dowager understands that Zixi's grandfather has just passed away. Although as the emperor's concubine, he should not be filial to his family, Zixi did not see his grandfather off for the last time. Therefore, Zixi decided Grandfather has kept his filial piety for a hundred days. Please allow the Queen Mother!"

"You mean that you won't consummate the marriage with the emperor within a hundred days?"

"Yes."

"What about a hundred days later? Can you accept the emperor?"

"The concubine is the emperor's concubine, so she should serve in bed!"

"Okay, the Ai family agrees. Once the filial piety period is over, you must consummate the marriage with the emperor!"

The Queen Mother let go, with a faint smile on her face. She really liked Liu Zixi, but this child also had his own ideas.Filial piety is also heavy, but I can't find any faults.

Liu Zixi thanked her: "Zixi is grateful for the Queen Mother's kindness."

"Baozhu, at the respect room, you arrange for someone to put aside the signboard of Concubine Chen, and put it up after a hundred days. If the emperor asks, he will say that it means Aijia."

The Empress Dowager gave instructions to Aunt Baozhu who was beside her.

Aunt Baozhu nodded, "Yes, Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother waved at Liu Zixi, "Go back, Ai's family is exhausted, and I want to go to bed again. Xueling, help Ai's family to go in and rest. Baozhu, send Concubine Chen out."

"Don't disturb the queen mother's rest, the concubine will leave."

Liu Zixi saluted respectfully, and then left Yongshou Palace with Aunt Baozhu.

When he returned to Shangyang Palace, he saw Luo Jin, the director of Shangyi Bureau, wandering outside his palace gate. His arrival surprised Liu Zixi, "Eunuch Luo Jin, what are you doing in Shangyang Palace? "
