Chapter 27 Mrs. Xi pays respects to the Empress Dowager for the first time

— the next day.
Mr. Xi dragged his heavy body to greet the Empress Dowager:

"The concubine pays respects to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager is blessed and golden."

There was a gloomy and cold atmosphere in the room, Mr. Xi frowned slightly, and waited quietly for the Queen Mother to wake him up.
But the queen mother didn't speak for a long time, she could only hold on, and didn't dare to raise her head.

The reason was that the Empress Dowager had sharp eyes, a cold and serious face, and an imperial aura exuding from her body, which made her feel apprehensive.

Then, the empress dowager finally spoke slowly:
"Get up, give me your seat."

"Concubine, thank you Queen Mother."

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Xi took his seat, and the Empress Dowager said:

"It's been a while since you came to the palace, but Ai's family has heard about it, and you haven't gone to bed yet, so what do you want to say?"

"This concubine also... I don't know why every time I come to sleep, I suddenly get sick. For the sake of the emperor's dragon body, this concubine obeys the doctor's advice and takes a good rest."

There was uncontrollable tension in Xi Guiren's tone.

The empress dowager looked at her with sharp eyes, blinked and said:

"You have already entered the imperial gate, so this body is not your business alone. It is not good to be so weak. How can we extend the heirs of the emperor in the future and let the palace doctor come in."

"Yes."

After answering, Lianyi walked out of the house and shouted:

"The imperial physician."

Then,

A palace physician who is nearly forty years old, slightly bowed his waist and followed the ripples to see him.

"Old slave Gongqing, I greet the queen mother, the queen mother is Jin'an."

"Get up."

The Empress Dowager then said:
"In the future, I will let the palace doctor take good care of you. Gongqing, this noble man of Xixi, has been in the palace for a long time, and his body is very weak. You have to pay attention to it in the future. , Delay the emperor, Aijia will kill you."

"Hey, please don't worry, the queen mother, the old slave must be taken care of by the empress."

Xi Guiren just watched like this, not daring to utter a word, but his hands turned red from being pinched,

The bamboo warbler beside him also listened at a loss, with worry visible to the naked eye on his face.

The empress dowager asked the imperial physician to retreat first, then looked at her and said:

"Aijia has something to remind you, no matter what tricks you played in the past, Aijia looked at your father's face and counted it, but if you are still restless in the future, there will be one more concubine in the harem and one less. The family doesn't care at all."

Xi Guiren looked at the other party with sharp eyes, like a knife, ready to stab her at any time,

For a moment, she didn't know how to respond, and felt that her body was a little numb and frozen.

Seeing that Mr. Xi did not respond for a long time, Lianyi couldn't stand it and reminded:
"Your Majesty Xi, can't you hear what the Empress Dowager said? Still haven't answered."

An angry warning in his tone.

Zhu Ying reminded in a low voice in a panic: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Xi Guiren's expression changed, as if he had just calmed down, and said:
"The concubine thanked the queen mother, and will abide by the rules of the palace in the future."

The empress dowager looked at the other party's expression, and she really looked down upon her, with a look of disgust on her face:
"Okay, let's go back."

As soon as the other party said this, Mr. Xi got up impatiently and said:

"Chen and concubine retire."

This noble man just walked away,

Lianyi said disgustedly beside the Queen Mother:
"Empress Dowager, this noble lady, no matter how she compares with any other empress, she is nothing special."

The Queen Mother also shook her head:

"Cousin, this daughter is really hopeless, you let the doctor and doctor stare at her."

"Whoo."

—— Muxi Palace
As soon as Mr. Xi returned to the bedroom, he held his head in trouble:

"No, it won't work if it goes on like this, the old hag started staring at me, I have to think about it."

"Your Majesty, what else can I do now, and I can't escape from the palace."

Xi Guiren's head was spinning rapidly, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and said:
"It's not enough to escape the palace, then find a backer, I don't believe that this palace is full of people from that old hag."

Zhuying panicked a lot at this moment, folded her hands and said nervously:

"Your Majesty, don't speak rudely. That's the Empress Dowager. There are ears in the walls. In this palace, either the Empress Dowager or the Emperor belongs. There are no other people."

Mr. Xi is completely disdainful:
"Come on, if it's like what you said, why is Dad thinking so much about being promoted, and staring at the position of prime minister? It's all about power struggles, and as long as there are fights, there will be people with different opinions."

Seeing that the master said it in a decent way, but still questioned:

"That empress thinks, who is that person with a different heart? Even if we know about this person, why should he help us?"

Mr. Xi, who was splashed with cold water, immediately drooped his face:
"I found out that you can't think of something good."

"Niang Niang, it's not that Zhuying doesn't want to think about it, it's just that she can't think of a good one." As she said, she also put her hands on her cheeks.

With such sad expressions, the two sighed at each other, and the air was filled with sadness.
Just a few seconds later,
Zhu Ying suddenly thought of one and said excitedly:

"My lady, Zhu Ying suddenly thought of someone. I heard that this lady has been in the palace for several years, but she has never served her bed. The people in the palace said that she was sick, and they called her sick when talking about it." Where's the lady?"

"There is still such a person in the palace, why didn't we say it earlier."

After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhuying with a little arrogant eyes.

Bamboo Ying hid her embarrassment with a smile and said:
"Zhuying didn't think about it for a while. When she heard about it, she didn't think it was unusual. She thought it was just that the emperor didn't like it."

"No matter what the reason is, I will go see that empress tomorrow and see what she is like."

There was light in Xi Guiren's eyes instantly.

Bamboo Warbler also responded happily:

"Okay, then Zhu Ying will go and find out where that Liu Guiren lives."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, I'm going to take a rest."

After finishing speaking, Mr. Xi walked towards the bed, and when he arrived, he took off his shoes neatly, lay down,
At this time,

Zhu Ying also came to the bed and covered her with the quilt, and said:
"Your Majesty, take a good rest. When you wake up, Zhuying will definitely bring good news to your Majesty."

After hearing this, Mr. Xi closed his eyes with a smile on his face,

Zhuying then also turned around, walked out of the bedroom lightly and closed the door.

——The side entrance of the palace at this moment.

A carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, and a young and playful woman got off from it,

The round eyes are very bright, the cherry-like mouth is also pink and tender, and the frivolous figure makes the temperament a little more enchanting,

At this time, the person who came to greet her was Yu'er, the personal maid of Imperial Concubine Jing.

Yu'er stepped forward to greet her and said:

"Miss Hanya has been on the road for the past few days, and the boats and cars are exhausted. The empress is already in the palace, and she asked the imperial dining room to prepare a sumptuous dinner. She specially ordered the servants here to welcome the girl."

"Thank you for your hard work, then I will trouble you and take the little girl to see my cousin."

"Girl this way please"

After saying that, he took Hanya to the palace, and the maid who accompanied him followed closely.
