Chapter 833 Rebuke

On the day that Duke Hongguo was executed, the Empress Dowager became ill again.

This time, he was more ill than the previous ones.

When Min Jieyu came to greet the imperial concubine today, she mentioned this incident by the way, and suggested that the imperial concubine should visit the empress dowager?

Xiao Xixi knew that the Empress Dowager didn't like her, so she didn't like to deal with the Empress Dowager very much.

But now that she occupies the position of a noble concubine, she has to do some things.

No matter what the inside is, at least the face is decent.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xixi took a group of concubines to Changle Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

Changle Palace is very lively once.

The Empress Dowager's complexion is still very bad, and her expression is very haggard.

She didn't even get out of bed, she just sat on the bed and listened to the concubines' greetings and relief.

When the concubines and concubines were almost finished, the Empress Dowager spoke feebly.

"Your filial piety, Ai's family has already received. Now that the harem is taken care of by a concubine, Ai's family is very relieved. You don't need to worry too much.

The concubines are naturally a sincere blessing.

The Empress Dowager's eyes passed over them, and finally stopped on the imperial concubine.

To ask in the entire harem, who is the person the Empress Dowager dislikes the most?

There is no one but the princess.

It was because of the imperial concubine that Lu Xuanshi was put into the cold palace.

It is also because of the noble concubine that the emperor repeatedly disobeyed the empress dowager.

Even when Duke Hongguo was Ling Chi, he had nothing to do with the imperial concubine.

The Empress Dowager regretted the most in her life, that this Princess Nanfeng should not be allowed to enter the palace.

Without Princess Nanfeng, perhaps her relationship with the emperor would not have been so bad, Duke Hongguo would not have been executed by Ling Chi, and the Lu family would not have been reduced to where it is today.

Aware that the Empress Dowager was looking at him, Xiao Xixi took the initiative to show a sweet smile to the other party.

Instead of being cured by this smile, the Great Empress Dowager felt that the other party was really pretentious, and she felt even more disgusted in her heart.

"Aijia heard that the imperial concubine was kidnapped before. I wonder if the imperial concubine was injured?"

Xiao Xixi replied obediently, "Thank you for the concern of the Empress Dowager, everything is fine with my concubine."

"You'll be fine."

When the Empress Dowager said this, she changed her words and said in a deep voice.

"The Ai family has always wanted to ask you, as a concubine of the harem, why did you leave the palace without authorization?

Where do you place the palace rules?

And you stayed with the King of England at midnight?

Orphans and orphans, what are you trying to do?

Aijia believes that you will not do anything wrong to the emperor.

But it's terrifying!

Do you know what people outside say about you now?

It is said that you don't follow the way of women, you have no training that a noble concubine should have, and you lose all the face of the royal family.

Even the officials in the DPRK folded their bullets to impeach you, believing that your virtue was unworthy, and wanted the emperor to lower your rank.

As the empress dowager, Aijia had to take care of this matter.

Now in front of so many people, should you give a reasonable explanation? "

For a time, everyone in the bedroom looked at the imperial concubine, wanting to see what she had to say?

There are many lucky people among them.

If you were replaced by other concubines, if you were scolded by the empress dowager face to face, you would definitely be angry and anxious, and maybe even cry.

But Xiao Xixi was very calm, not panicking at all.

She explained calmly.

"Please ask the Empress Dowager to learn from it.

The concubine did not leave the palace without permission, but only with the permission of the emperor.

The concubine and the King of England are not alone, but there are more than a dozen Yulin guards and guards of the palace by our side.

As for the fearsome words you said, the concubine can't do anything about it.

The mouth grows on others, others can say whatever they want, the concubine can't control it.

Of course, the concubine did not do it thoughtfully in this matter, and the concubine had deeply realized her mistake.

The concubine decided to think behind closed doors for a month and reflect on her mistakes in Yunxiu Palace.

I implore the Empress Dowager to be at ease, don't get mad at this trivial matter. "

Speaking of which, Xiao Xixi also gave the Queen Mother a standard 90-degree bow, and her attitude of admitting mistakes can be said to be very correct.

However, the Empress Dowager was even more annoyed.

The woman first said such a gibberish, took off all the faults in her body, and finally pretended to admit her mistake and apologized, making it clear that she was deliberately perfunctory.

This woman didn't even think she was wrong at all!

But the imperial concubine had already admitted her mistake, and she also took the initiative to think behind closed doors.

But if she just let her go so easily, the empress dowager couldn't swallow the breath in her heart.

The Empress Dowager held back for a long time before she spoke reluctantly.

"Since the imperial concubine has said so, it is not easy for Aijia to say more. From today, the imperial concubine will be thinking behind closed doors for a month."

She paused and added.

"While the imperial concubine has been thinking about it, don't stay in bed, let someone remove the imperial concubine's green head card."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the concubines present changed.

The green head card exists to make it easier for the emperor to choose who to sleep with at night.

However, the current emperor has never turned over the green card since he ascended the throne.

In the past, he lived alone in Weiyang Palace. Since the imperial concubine entered the palace, he has let the imperial concubine serve him every night.

The green head card is useless.

If the Empress Dowager mentioned it today, everyone would almost forget that there is a green head card in the palace.

Listening to the meaning of the empress dowager, it is obvious that she wants other concubines to share the favor of the imperial concubine.

This made many of the concubines present began to feel anxious in their hearts.

The emperor has always favored the imperial concubine, and the middle palace is empty, and the entire harem is dominated by the imperial concubine's family.

Even if the other concubines were unwilling, they didn't dare to say anything on their faces, and could only endure it silently.

Now that the Empress Dowager has spoken in person, the concubines and concubines suddenly have the hope of working hard.

Since entering the palace, no one wants to be spoiled.

They are no exception.

Who is willing to be a stepping stone? !

Xiao Xixi thanked him honestly.

When the Empress Dowager showed signs of exhaustion, the concubines and concubines said goodbye and left.

Everyone walked out of Changle Palace.

As a noble concubine, Xiao Xixi was naturally at the forefront of the team.

With everyone's respectful escort, she got into the chariot dedicated to the imperial concubine and gradually moved away.

The other concubines also got into the carriage one after another.

Like those low-grade concubines, who are not qualified to ride in a chariot, they can only walk back.

Everyone is still friendly on the face, but they are already thinking about how to make their green head card selected by the emperor.

At noon, Luo Qinghan reviewed the memorials in the imperial study.

When he saw that Xixi hadn't come yet, he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

On weekdays, Xixi would come to the imperial study on time to have lunch with him, and never be late unless necessary.

Why hasn't it come at this time today?
