Chapter 369 Chapter 378
"The concubine pays her respects to the empress, and the empress is blessed and safe."

Qi's concubine Li took all the women in the fourth master's harem and stood in the center of the hall, saluting Wu Linzhu in a respectful manner.

"Get up!"

Wu Linzhu was wearing a yellow silk embroidered cloak with begonia pattern in light color and gold. Around her neck was a whole string of court beads made of oriental beads, with some red agate beads mixed in the middle. She even wore a set of dots on her head Cui Tianzi is luxurious and majestic.

Today is the first time for the concubines to meet the Queen Mother, so naturally they should not be too casual in their clothes.

In fact, the concubines are also in court clothes, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been very busy these two days because of the death of the first emperor and the succession of the new emperor, so the court clothes of the concubines will only be made in the next day!
Therefore, the dresses of the concubines today are just the ordinary clothes they wear on weekdays!

"Thank you, Empress, for your kindness."

After the few people left, they kowtowed and thanked them, then got up and sat in their corresponding seats.

There are really not as many people in Fourth Master's backyard as there were in the late emperor!

With full play and full calculation, and Wu Linzhu, there are only seven people.

Wu Linzhu sat on the first seat, on the left was the first concubine Qi, and on the right was the eminent concubine Nian.

Sitting under the Qi concubine is the Rong concubine Yehenala, and under the Nian concubine is the Mao concubine Song.

At the bottom and at the end, there are the noble Wu family and the noble Liu family.

"Today is our first day in the palace, and we should go to greet the Empress Dowager. Some of you are seeing the Empress Dowager for the first time, so there is no room for any mistakes in this aspect of the rules."

Wu Linzhu said this not because she valued the rules here too much, but because the Queen Mother had stayed in the palace for a long time, so the Queen Mother valued it the most.

If they get into trouble in front of the queen mother, no one can save them?

"The concubine obeys the queen's will."

The others didn't dare to say anything more, after all, why would they never think that they could become imperial concubines?So I was still a little nervous.

"That's good, I don't have anything to say. Let's get up and go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay respects to the Empress Dowager."

On the day when the Fourth Master succeeded to the throne, the Empress Dowager went from the Yonghe Palace to the Compassion Palace.

The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang used to live in the Compassionate Ning Palace, so the things inside are all extremely exquisite.

Therefore, there was nothing to tidy up, the Queen Mother just brought her own people and some favorite things, and went to live in the Compassionate Ning Palace.

"Yes"

Everyone got up and followed Wu Linzhu out of Yikun Palace.

Wu Linzhu was a little surprised that it was so simple to finish. After all, these people would fight each other when they met. It was a bit strange that they were so quiet today.

It's just that Wu Linzhu didn't know, they didn't dare to open their mouths, after all, this is the palace, if they are not careful, they will cause trouble, and they are well aware of these things.

A group of people came out of Yikun Palace, turned right, walked out of Chongxi Gate, and came to Xierchang Street, which was the shortest way to the Palace of Compassion.

A lazy person like Wu Linzhu would naturally not go around the long street, and then go around the Hall of Mental Cultivation to the Palace of Compassion.

After leaving the Chongxi Gate and walking southward, you will come to the Katydid Gate between Yongshou Palace and Qixiang Palace. It is said that if the empresses of the Qing Dynasty were unable to conceive for a long time, they would go to the Katydite Gate to pray for blessings.

This katydid is actually a kind of locust-like insect. Because of its good reproductive ability, ancient people used to use the word katydid as a blessing for many children and many blessings.

Therefore, when the seven people walked through the katydid gate, everyone was probably praying silently in their hearts!
Even if someone like Wu Linzhu didn't believe it, she wouldn't offend someone like Wu Linzhu.

Passing the Katydite Gate, turn right and you will find the gate of Qixiang Palace, pass by Qixiang Palace, turn left and go south until you reach the Cining Palace.In this way, there is no need to bypass the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which saves a lot of travel.

"Greetings to Empress Empress, and greetings to all young masters."

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Compassionate Ning Palace, they saw Aunt Zi Xin guarding the gate, presumably to welcome them.

"Today is the first day that the empress and the young lords enter the palace, and the empress dowager has already been waiting inside."

Zixin has a temperament that loves to laugh, and there is always a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Aunt Lao has been waiting here for so long."

Wu Linzhu smiled, she still had a good impression of Zixin, so she couldn't help but show some sincerity when they met her.

"The empress is really a servant of evil spirits. Waiting for the empress is the blessing of the slaves. Please come to the empress and all the young masters."

Zi Xin quickly waved her hand, she also really liked Wu Linzhu, this queen is not only smart, but also dignified and honest.

No wonder he was able to win the emperor's exclusive favor for so long.

If the other concubines were as smart as the queen, they wouldn't have no children by now.

With that in mind, Zi Xin led the crowd to the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace.

After lifting the thin curtain, Wu Linzhu walked in first.

The Empress Dowager was sitting under the window on a bright yellow soft couch.

At this time, the sun was just right, and the light came in through the thin window paper, making the hall of Compassionate Ning Palace very bright!
The queen mother was wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe, sitting on a soft couch. Although the phoenix robe was very loose, she could still feel her slender figure.The skin is delicate and white, and a pair of willow eyebrows are slightly raised, carrying a unique charm.

On the top of the head is the dot emerald tin of the young phoenix, which makes the queen mother dignified and exudes an unwarranted coercion all over her body.

This kind of coercion was tempered in the harem for a long time, and it was also unique to the empress dowager.

Therefore, except for Wu Linzhu, the others became even more cautious, not daring to speak out.

"The concubine brought the harem sisters to pay respects to the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is blessed and safe."

Wu Linzhu's title also had to change. When she was Sifu Jin, she used to call the Empress Dowager Empress Defei, but now she is the empress, and Defei has become the Empress Dowager, so this title has to be changed naturally!

"My concubine, please be safe with the empress dowager, and the empress dowager will be safe and blessed."

When Wu Linzhu greeted the Queen Mother, he had to squat down halfway. Naturally, the others did not simply squat down, but knelt firmly behind Wu Linzhu.

"Get up, give me your seat."

The queen mother glanced at Wu Linzhu's back lightly, and then said in a calm voice.

I have dealt with Wu Linzhu too many times, so the Queen Mother also knows some of Wu Linzhu's temperament, so there is nothing special to explain to Wu Linzhu today.

Her main purpose today is to warn other people in the harem.

"Thank you Empress Dowager"

Several people supported themselves by their maids, and sat down in order of seniority.

"The late emperor passed away suddenly, don't be overly sad, Empress Empress, and take good care of your body."

Wu Linzhu said with a worried face, what she said was of course pretending, no matter who saw it, the Queen Mother did not look overly sad.

But the first emperor passed away just now, and the queen mother laughed all day long. If it gets out, everyone will point their spines and scold.

That's why Wu Linzhu said that.

And the queen mother is also smart, when the first emperor was alive, he didn't have much relationship with the first emperor, and she was naturally happy when she became the queen mother.

But just as Wu Linzhu thought, this time is not the time to be complacent and forgetful.

"Oh, the Ai family has been thinking of the time when the late emperor was here, and feels very sad."

The Empress Dowager lowered her head, with sadness in her eyes, but if you look carefully, there is joy behind the sadness.

Everyone is also smart, just to save face.Therefore, what should be persuaded should be persuaded, what should be said should be said, and what should be comforted should be comforted.

"Now that the late emperor has just passed away and the emperor is busy with government affairs, the empress dowager should take care of herself. The concubines are useless and cannot share the burden for the empress dowager."

Concubine Qi is almost mature, she knows that this is the time for her to show herself, the queen mother is the emperor's biological mother, if the queen mother says something nice in front of the emperor, then maybe some of the queen's favor will be taken away.

"You are all filial, it's just that Ai's family has Zi Xin to serve you."

The queen mother took out a bright yellow handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes where there were no tears.Then continue to speak.

"The late emperor passed away, and the emperor has just ascended the throne. He has been busy all day in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The Ai family is really worried. You are all fine. You should go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation more often to comfort the emperor."

The Empress Dowager is dissatisfied with the fact that the emperor favors the empress alone, now look at all the elder brothers of the late emperor, except those who are not married, among the other elder brothers, which elder brother's heirs are as good as the emperor?

There is only one princess and one elder brother, this is just comparing with other elder brothers, if compared with the first emperor, the emperor is even worse.

So this is not the case at all.

"The concubine would like to obey the Queen Mother's will."

Except for Wu Linzhu, everyone else said in unison, wishing they could fly to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with wings now!
but
"It's the duty of a concubine to share the worries of the emperor and the empress dowager, but..."

Concubine Nian frowned, she was the youngest in the room, but she was also the most valuable, so it was rare for the Queen Mother to give her a good face!

"What's the purpose? But it doesn't matter!"

"It's just that the concubines are really stupid. There is no queen empress who can please the emperor with her ingenuity."

Today, when Concubine Nian came to pay her respects, Mrs. He urged her to provoke Wu Linzhu.

The concubine Nian also thought so at first, but now the queen mother has spoken like this, if she doesn't say what she said last time, isn't it just letting the opportunity go?
"Then you all have to learn from the queen, how to serve the emperor to please the emperor?"

The empress dowager's eyes sank, she had been in the harem for more than [-] years, how many times she had seen this little cleverness of the concubine Nian!
Didn't he just want to use her hand to punish the queen?Let's not talk about the Queen's fault, right?Even if the emperor dotes on the queen so much, she can't punish the queen arbitrarily.

But the queen mother of the Nian family had to give her face. Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, it is the time of internal and external troubles, and it is also the time when the Nian family is working for her. She can't win the face of the concubine Nian.

"What the empress dowager said is true!"

Concubine Nian was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect the Queen Mother to deal with her with a single word, and sure enough Jiang was still old and spicy.

"Queen!"

Seeing that the Nian concubine stopped talking, the queen mother turned her gaze to Wu Linzhu beside her.

"Yes"

Wu Linzhu was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at the Queen Mother.

"Now, as a queen, you are the mother of the Qing Dynasty, and you are no longer the Fujin of the prince's mansion, so you should also know that the emperor's heir is the most important thing in everything."

The queen mother didn't say it clearly, but Wu Linzhu could still tell that the queen mother wanted her to give up the emperor.

To put it bluntly, I just want the emperor to sow seeds like a stallion.

"The concubine knows, and the concubine will definitely persuade the emperor well."

What's wrong with this?Don't you just say a few words in front of fourth master?As for whether to go or not, then Wu Linzhu has no choice, she can't tie fourth master and send him to another woman's bed!
And isn't it a child?She, Wu Linzhu, is only this year, so how did she know that she would not be able to have children?

Even if two or three children are born for the sake of the emperor's heir, that's not a problem.

Maybe she has good genes, and she will give birth to twins or triplets!Isn't there too many children?Why insist on fourth master going to other women's beds?

"Empress Dowager, the emperor is here!"

Only after Wu Linzhu agreed, the curtain of the dormitory was lifted, and a young eunuch came in, saluted first, and then spoke softly.

As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, a bright yellow figure appeared at the door!

Isn't he the new emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

As soon as he entered the bedroom, he first glanced at Wu Linzhu, and then came to the Queen Mother.

"My son pays respects to the queen's mother, and the queen's mother is golden."

Now fourth master has become the emperor and lives in the palace, the Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Palace of Compassion and Peace are only separated by a wall.

And today is the day when Hou Fei pays his respects to the Empress Dowager, so the fourth master naturally has to follow him to pay his respects.

"The emperor is here, sit down!"

The Empress Dowager held the handkerchief on her lap with both hands, a gleam of joy flashed across her face when she saw Fourth Master, and then she pressed it down again.

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and safe!"

After the fourth master greeted the queen mother, it was Wu Linzhu's turn to bring the other concubines, the emperor greeted him!
"Queen sit down!"

The fourth master was cold, and gave Xiao Dezi a wink, Xiao Dezi got nervous, and hurried forward to help Wu Linzhu up!

Cold sweat broke out from the bottom of my heart, look at his lack of eyesight, the empress had never greeted the emperor before, but this time he let the empress stand in front of the emperor for such a long time.

The emperor had to peel off his skin when he returned!

"When my son came in just now, he was very happy to see the Queen's mother. I don't know what to say to the queen?"

Fourth master just asked casually, after all, he came to pay his respects, so he can't just sit here dryly!
But the Queen Mother and Wu Linzhu's answers wished that the fourth master would turn back the time. He would rather sit like this dryly than ask this question.

"The Ai family is talking to the empress that the emperor has few heirs, so the empress should persuade the emperor to go and sit in other concubines' palaces."

The Empress Dowager didn't think it was a big deal, but she usually couldn't talk to the emperor, so she asked Wu Linzhu to persuade her. Now that the emperor asked the question, she was naturally willing to answer?
"Huh? Go to another palace?"

The fourth master raised his eyebrows, looked at Wu Linzhu, and gave Wu Linzhu a vicious look from a place where no one else could see.

This bad woman is really healed and her scars are forgotten. She even dared to let her sit in other women's palaces. She thinks she can do it again, right?

Facing Fourth Master's vicious eyes, Wu Linzhu shrugged helplessly
