Chapter 833

On the day when Hong Guogong was executed, the Empress Dowager fell ill again.

The illness is more serious than the previous times.

When minjieyu came to greet the imperial concubine today, she mentioned this matter and hinted whether the imperial concubine should go to see the Empress Dowager?

Xiao Xi knows that the Empress Dowager doesn't like herself, so she doesn't like dealing with the Empress Dowager very much.

But now she occupies the position of imperial concubine, and there are some things she must do.

No matter what happens inside, at least you should live in face.

Early the next morning, Xiao Xixi and his concubines went to the Changle palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

The Changle palace is rarely lively.

The Empress Dowager still looked very bad and looked haggard.

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

When the concubines had said almost, the Empress Dowager spoke weakly.

"Your filial piety has been received by AI family. Now there are imperial concubines in the back palace. AI family is very relieved. You don't need to worry too much. AI family is just a little uncomfortable. It will be better in a while."

The concubines are naturally a sincere blessing.

The sight of the Empress Dowager passed over them and finally stopped on the imperial concubine.

Who is the person the Empress Dowager dislikes most in the whole harem?

No one but the imperial concubine.

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

It is also because of the imperial concubine that the emperor disobeyed the Empress Dowager again and again.

Even if Hong Guogong was lingchi, he could not get rid of his relationship with the imperial concubine.

The most regretful thing for the Empress Dowager in her life is that she shouldn't let the Nanfeng princess into the palace.

If there were no princess Nanfeng, perhaps her relationship with the emperor would not be so bad, the Duke of Hong would not be executed by lingchi, and the Lu family would not be reduced to today.

Aware that the Empress Dowager is looking at herself, Xiao Xixi takes the initiative to show a sweet smile to each other.

Far from being cured by this smile, the Empress Dowager felt that the other party was really artificial and hated it more deeply.

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

Xiao Xixi replied, "thank you for your concern. Everything is fine with me."

"You're fine."

When the Empress Dowager said this, the conversation turned and sank her voice.

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

Where do you set the palace rules?

And you stay with the king in the middle of the night?

Lonely men and women, what are you trying to do?

AI Jia believes you won't do anything sorry for the emperor.

But people's words are terrible!

Do you know what people outside say about you now?

They say that you don't abide by women's morality, have no cultivation that the imperial concubine should have, and lose the royal face.

Even the speech officials in the court impeached you. They thought you were unworthy of virtue and wanted the emperor to lower you.

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

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

For a moment, everyone in the bedroom looked at the imperial concubine and wanted to see what she wanted to say?

There are many schadenfreudes among them.

If the Empress Dowager scolds other concubines face to face, they will be angry and anxious, and may even cry.

But Xiao Xi was very calm and had no panic at all.

She explained calmly.

"Please the Empress Dowager.

My concubine didn't leave the palace without permission, but only with the permission of the emperor.

I am not alone with the king of England, but we are still accompanied by more than ten Yulin guards and palace guards.

As for what you said, I can't help it.

The mouth grows on others. Others can say what they like. I can't control it.

Of course, I did not do it well in this matter, and I have deeply realized my mistakes.

I decided to shut my door for a month and reflect on my mistakes in Yunxiu palace.

I beg the Empress Dowager to be at ease. Don't be angry about such a small matter. "

Speaking of this, Xiao Xixi also made a standard 90 degree bow to the empress dowager, and his attitude of admitting his mistake can be said to be very correct.

However, the Empress Dowager was even more annoyed.

The woman first chattered and took off all her mistakes. Finally, she pretended to admit her mistake and apologize. She made it clear that she was deliberately perfunctory.

The woman didn't think she was wrong at all!

But the imperial concubine has admitted her mistake and offered to think behind closed doors. The Empress Dowager is always hard to bite, otherwise she will appear too small.

But if you let her go so easily, the Empress Dowager could not swallow the tone in her heart.

The Empress Dowager held her breath for a long time before she reluctantly opened her mouth.

"Since the imperial concubine has said so, it's not good to mourn the family. From today on, the imperial concubine will think behind closed doors for a month."

She paused and added.

"During the time when the imperial concubine thought about it, don't wait for bed. Let someone remove the imperial concubine's green card."

As soon as he said this, the faces of the concubines present changed.

The green head card exists to facilitate the emperor to choose who to sleep at night.

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

He used to live alone in Weiyang palace. Since the imperial concubine entered the palace, he asked the imperial concubine to sleep every night.

The green card is in vain.

If the Empress Dowager hadn't mentioned it today, everyone would almost forget that there was 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 concubines present ready to move.

The emperor has always favored the imperial concubine, and the middle palace is empty. The whole 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 face. They could only bear it silently.

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

Now that you're in the palace, no one doesn't want to be spoiled.

They are no exception.

Who is willing to be a stepping stone if he can be a master?!

Xiao Xixi is always honest and grateful.

When the Empress Dowager showed signs of fatigue, a group of concubines took an interesting leave.

The crowd went out of the Changle palace.

Xiao Xixi, as a high-ranking imperial concubine, is naturally at the forefront of the team.

With the courtesy of the people, she sat in the chariot dedicated to the imperial concubine and gradually disappeared.

Other concubines also sat in the chariot one after another.

For example, those low-grade concubines are not qualified to take chariots, so they can only walk back.

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

At noon, Luo QingHan reviewed the memorial in the imperial study.

He couldn't help wondering when he saw that Xi Xi hadn't come yet.

On weekdays, Xi Xi will come to the imperial study on time to have lunch with him. Unless necessary, he is never late.

Why haven't you come at this time today?
