Cold Prince, Love Tenderly

A year later, Dongli palace,

"Hum, the emperor doesn't pay more attention to AI Jia." A woman about sixty years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, said angrily.

"The Empress Dowager calms down," mother Du, who is next to her, comes up quickly to persuade her, "it's not good to be angry because of these little things“

"Little things?" The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "isn't it a small matter to seal your concubine? For a woman who has been in the palace for less than half a year, giving her imperial concubine's position is more and more distant, not to mention the imperial concubine's position. "

In the harem, the positions of concubines with status were talent, beauty, noble, concubines, Jieyu, noble, concubines, four concubines (Defei, Xianfei, Shufei, huifei), noble, imperial and queen. Most of the official women enter the palace from talented people or beauties. If they are successful in war, they usually start from Jieyu. The emperor's recently newly appointed wife, LAN Guifei's mother's family, is only a third grade official, and she has not been successful in fighting. Moreover, she has only been in the palace for half a year. The emperor's reward is a little too much.

Mother Du has been around the Empress Dowager for many years, and naturally knows her mind. This time, the Empress Dowager is angry, not only because the emperor has given Princess LAN a high level, but mainly because the Emperor didn't tell the Empress Dowager before side sealing. You should know that all the concubines above the rank of imperial concubine need to pass through the Empress Dowager. But this time, the emperor tried to excuse the Empress Dowager with the excuse of "reading the Empress Dowager to pray for the country in Qingtai temple. I can't bear to disturb her with my own business". No wonder the Empress Dowager was angry.

Mother Du also knew that the emperor did something wrong this time. However, she was just a slave. She had to persuade her: "the emperor has always been benevolent and filial. Xu is really afraid of disturbing the Empress Dowager's Qingxiu. Besides, Princess LAN is pregnant and has not had an heir in the palace for many years. When the emperor is happy, it is inevitable that he does things without consideration."

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, and the teacup was heavily placed on the table. "Pregnant and proud, I'm a concubine who can't be on the table."

Mammy Lu didn't answer. She knew that the Empress Dowager hated those concubines who seduced the Lord and flattered her. In those days, the Empress Dowager was still the queen, and she respected the emperor at that time. The zither and zither were harmonious, and the concubines in the harem were still at ease. But since Rong Fei entered the palace, everything has changed. The emperor no longer adheres to the previous "rain and dew" habit, but dotes on Rong Fei. She was called to sleep every night, and was allowed to go in and out of the imperial study freely. Knowing that she liked peach blossoms, she planted them all over the royal garden. In spring, the peach blossoms were in full bloom. The breeze blew and the petals were flying. It was beautiful, but there were no other flowers or colors in the whole spring. This kind of love has lasted for ten years, and this decade is also the most step-by-step ten years for the queen at that time. Without her husband's love, she put all her heart on her son and won over the minister, laying a solid foundation for the way of the emperor after him. And Rong Fei has been planning for her son, even once she successfully instigated the emperor to abandon the prince. At that time, the queen knelt in front of the imperial library for three days and nights until she finally passed out. I don't know whether the emperor is concerned about their love for husband and wife, or based on the Queen's family's joint minister's pressure on the emperor. In the end, the Emperor didn't abandon the crown prince. Instead, he sent Princess Rong's son to the fief and ordered her to accompany him. Princess Rong cried for a day and a night in front of the imperial library. The Emperor didn't feel soft at last. He sent someone to send her to the fiefdom. She didn't see her until she died.

Since then, the Empress Dowager especially hates those beautiful and coquettish women, so that most of the concubines in the emperor's harem are fresh and elegant, dignified and generous. But this time the emperor side seal of orchid imperial concubine is a beautiful very coquettish woman, a pair of fox eyes as if can take a person's soul.

"Why is the Empress Dowager angry?" A gentle voice came from the girl. As soon as Xia Yuyan enters the outer room, she hears a heavy sound of putting tea cups in the inner room.

As soon as the Empress Dowager looked at him, her anger disappeared. "How come I haven't seen you since I came back from Qingtai temple? Where did I go to play?"

"The Empress Dowager has wronged Yan'er," Xia Yuyan said as she put the tea tray on the table. "I just met Xia Lu's elder sister. She said that the dew on the lotus leaves collected this morning was useless. I thought it was the best to make the lotus leaves with the dew in the morning last year, so I borrowed the Empress Dowager's small kitchen to make the tea."

"Have a taste, Empress Dowager." Xia Yuyan holds the cup to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager took it and sipped, "it's really fragrant. You girl, you really have a heart."

Xia Yuyan smiles and doesn't answer.

"Empress dowager, the emperor sent someone to invite the Empress Dowager to the main hall. The dinner will begin." A maid in waiting came in to report.

"Well." The Empress Dowager put down her tea cup, and mother Ren Lu helped her out of the house. Xia Yuyan followed he
