Chapter 622
For three consecutive days, apart from making incense in the palace, Chen Man waited at the gate of the palace two quarters of an hour before the time when Emperor Qingming would come down.

Although it was only a small step out of the palace gate, it was hard-won for her.

She has been in Kunning Palace for 17 years, and she has not gained this freedom.

Although there was no one on the palace road, she still felt a lot more comfortable in her chest.The sky outside the Kunning Palace is bluer than that inside the palace.

And the news that the queen had left the palace gate spread quietly inside and outside the palace walls.

Wang Guifei fiddled with the incense in the incense burner on the couch, and frowned when she heard the news.

The emperor actually allowed her to come out?
She asked Eunuch Lin who was inquiring about the news, "How is your majesty these days?"

Eunuch Lin: "Go back to Madam, I heard that the emperor is in a good mood, and today he even relieved the empress dowager's confinement. Right now, the Palace of Compassion and Ning is bustling with activity."

Wang Guifei put down the silver incense spoon, wondering what she was thinking.

Eunuch Lin looked at Wang Guifei's expression, "Your Majesty hasn't greeted the Empress Dowager for a long time, do you want to..."

Seeing Concubine Wang glance over coldly, Eunuch Lin quickly stopped talking and swallowed the words that followed.

The empress is also strange, for more than 20 years, she has not been close to the elder brothers of the Wang family, nor has she been close to the empress dowager.

They are all close relatives, so where is there any hurdle they can't get through?
Wang Guifei withdrew her gaze, looked down at the hollow golden incense ball on the lapel, got up and went to bed, "You are right, I haven't greeted my aunt for a long time."

On the way to the Palace of Mercy Ning, Concubine Wang deliberately chose the road where she could see Kunning Palace, and when she passed the intersection of that palace road, she asked the palace people to stop.

There are still two guards guarding the gate of Kunning Palace.

However, what is different from the past is that there are more flowers placed at the gate of the palace, and you can see how lively they are blooming from a distance.

This was because the queen was going to visit her husband there, so Emperor Qingming prepared it specially for her.I heard from Eunuch Lin that a large and comfortable armchair should be placed in the sea of ​​flowers, lest the queen be tired.

"Let's go."

Wang Guifei rested her elbows on the armrest of the walking chariot, frowning, with unconcealable worry in her eyes.

Cining Palace.

Although all the concubines arrived, everyone knew that the Queen Mother was in a bad mood, so no one dared to show off her cleverness at this time.Therefore, the hall is very quiet, everyone drinks tea and eats snacks with their heads down.

After saluting each other, Wang Guifei sat down under the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother has not yet come out of the grief of Wang Caidan's crushed bone and ashes, she frowned, and glanced at Wang Guifei, "The Ai family thought you would not come."

Concubine Wang gently swirled the tea with the tea lid, and said in a low voice, "What did my aunt say?"

She looked at the entrance of the hall and waited until everyone had dispersed, but she did not see Chen Man appearing.

Instead, she met the prince who came to greet the queen mother.

It's just that the two of them, mother and son, have nothing to say.

On the second day, Concubine Wang Guifei came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning early.

After sitting there for more than an hour, just when Concubine Wang thought she had guessed wrong, a palace maid pushed the door to report, "To the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and Empress are here."

Wang Guifei sat up straight and looked towards the entrance of the hall.

The palace door was pushed open, and Emperor Qingming entered side by side with Chen Man.

The two paid their respects, and Emperor Qingming took Chen Man's hand and walked to the head of the Queen Mother.Originally sitting there was Concubine Wang Gui, but she had already got up to give up her seat.

Concubine Wang Guifei greeted Chen Man perfunctorily, with her usual sarcasm in her words, "I will step aside when the Empress Empress comes. Anyway, it's not the first time."

Looking at the entire imperial palace, only Wang Guifei dared to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor and queen.

Empress Ding snatched the Queen's position that should have belonged to Wang Guifei. Wang Guifei has always held a grudge, and the old people who have lived in the harem for a long time know it well.

Chen Man stared at Concubine Wang in a daze.

The scent of her...

After Chen Man married Han Jun, she knew that he used incense pills all the year round, and the medicine hall did not prepare them well, so she personally made a fragrance pill for him to repel insects and avoid poison.

Although the fragrance on Wang Guifei's body was covered up by other incense, she could smell it with her sensitive sense of smell. It was the fragrance of the incense pills used by the Duke.

This incense pill is still alive, does it mean that the Duke is still alive?

Chen Man was stunned for only a moment, and she asked, "Is my sister Wang Guifei? I heard about it from Mai Dong."

Wang Guifei moved closer to her, and sneered provocatively, "It's quite clear after inquiring, then you must know that I was the main concubine when the emperor was in the hidden residence."

The two got closer, and the fragrance became more intense and clear. Chen Man could even be sure that the fragrance came from the hollow incense ball on the skirt of Wang Guifei.

For so many years, she is very familiar with the incense pills that Wang Guifei wears, and she has never changed them.Why did you change it today?

Chen Man looked at Concubine Wang's eyes that looked deeply at her.

Wang Guifei has always disliked her, whether it was when she was Mrs. Dingguo before or after she entered the palace.But at this time, Wang Guifei's eyes moved her heart.

Wang Guifei seems to know who she is.

Emperor Qingming's eyes were sharp, and he glanced at Wang Guifei displeasedly, "Sit down."

Concubine Wang Guifei took another look at Chen Man, and sat on top of Concubine Xian opposite.

Chen Man sat next to Emperor Qingming, and Emperor Qingming turned his head to the Queen Mother and said, "Although the Queen has forgotten the past, she still remembers filial piety and said that she will come to pay your respects."

How dare the Queen Mother not show face to the queen, she nodded and said, "The queen has always been filial. It's just that you just recovered from a serious illness, so you don't need to talk about these empty etiquettes, it's just right to take good care of your body."

"Yes. Thank you, Queen Mother, for your care."

Chen Man lowered her eyes and drank tea, the heart-wrenching pain finally eased a little.

The Duke is still alive, and her two children should be fine.

It's good for them to live.

She felt at ease, and had nothing to worry about.

Wu Jian entered the palace and said, "I report to the empress dowager, my majesty, the crown prince came down to greet the empress dowager. I heard that the emperor and the empress were also there, so I couldn't come in and just bowed outside."

Emperor Qingming glanced outside the hall, Zhao Chen was standing by the garden in the courtyard of the Cining Palace, admiring the scenery in the garden with his hands behind his back.

Emperor Qingming was quite satisfied with his sense of propriety, so he didn't go straight into the hall.

He said, "I know, let her retreat if there is nothing wrong."

Wu Jian smiled and said to Wang Guifei, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince has something to do with you."

"What's the matter looking for this palace?"

Even so, Wang Guifei still got up, saluted lazily, and left the hall.

Emperor Qingming looked outside the door.

Wu Jian stood unobtrusively behind Emperor Qingming, whispering in his ear, "His Royal Highness knows that the imperial concubine has a straightforward temper, and is afraid that she will offend the queen. The queen has just recovered from her illness..."

Emperor Qingming nodded.

Concubine Wang walked to Zhao Chen's garden, a few steps away from Zhao Chen, and said in a low voice, "I don't know, what can you do if you find me."

Zhao Chen saluted, "Mother and Concubine, let's go back to Yikun Palace."
