Chapter 2141: Her Man First, Then the Emperor 3
But it's different now. He has Xia Weibao. If he leaves so many women in the palace, even if he ignores them, she will definitely feel uncomfortable.
If she were in his place, if there were a group of men around her who coveted her every day, even if her heart was all on him, he would want to kill all those people!
So, he wouldn't let her bear this.
Besides, those women could get married if they were released, so why should they all be trapped in the harem and live out their lives alone.
The queen mother knew that he had made up his mind, and it was useless for her to say anything, so she had to wave her hand and let him leave first.
But this harem really can't be abolished.
The situation is so complicated now, and those concubines are all carefully selected by her. Which family background is not easy to handle?
They are like a bond, connecting the courtiers and the emperor. If they are all expelled from the palace, it will definitely cause chaos!
It seems that we can only start with Xia Weibao.
The emperor doesn't listen to her, so what about Xia Weibao? Will he listen?
Xia Weibao didn't expect that the first time she met the queen mother, it was the queen mother who came to her in person.
At that time, she was sitting in the yard fiddling with the exotic flowers and herbs that she had picked from the imperial garden. Outside, a eunuch's shrill voice sounded, "The Queen Mother has arrived."
Xia Weibao was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to see a woman in the Queen Mother's palace clothes, walking in gracefully with the help of the palace maids.
The maids and eunuchs of Shelley Palace all ran over, and then knelt down to salute, "Greetings to the Queen Mother, long live the Queen Mother."
Only Xia Weibao stood in front of the maids and eunuchs, standing out from the crowd, very abrupt.
The Queen Mother looked at her, and she also looked at the Queen Mother, and no one moved, as if they were competing in endurance.
In the end, the Queen Mother was defeated first, "Why don't you salute."
Xia Weibao was a little confused. How to salute? Lu Hualiang said that she didn't need to salute anyone.
Wangcai knelt down and kowtowed, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Emperor has not sent a nanny to teach the Queen Mother etiquette, and I forgot the Queen Mother's forgiveness."
The Queen Mother glanced at Wangcai and raised her hand slightly, "Everyone, get up."
Wangcai and others breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Queen Mother did not blame them, otherwise the Emperor might not be able to save the Queen if he was charged with a crime of disrespect.
The Queen Mother wanted to blame them, but did she dare, unless she didn't want a son and a grandson.
Looking at Xia Weibao carefully, she was quite pretty, and she looked better than those women in the harem without makeup.
She was dressed very casually, with a sense of the Jianghu style.
"Why don't you wear palace clothes?"
Since the imperial decree to crown the Queen has been issued, even if it is not the day of the ceremony, she should wear the Queen's palace clothes. How can she dress like this?
Xia Weibao looked at the clothes on her body, a little confused. Is there anything wrong with her wearing like this? It's normal. She used to wear like this.
She tugged at her clothes, "My skirt was newly made by the emperor."
The queen mother, "..." What else could she say.
"Come in." Throwing down a sentence coldly, the queen mother took the lead to walk into the bedroom.
Xia Weibao glanced at Wangcai and followed.
Wangcai was a little anxious. Should he tell the emperor about the queen mother's sudden visit?
But the queen mother came to see the queen, not to cause trouble. If she told the emperor about this, would it anger the queen mother?
After thinking it over again and again, she still did not go to the emperor, and waited outside the door worriedly.
In the bedroom, the queen mother sat in the main seat, and Xia Weibao stood in the center.
She stood casually, without the dignity of the queen at all.
