Queen is fearless

Chapter 146 Harem Sisters
After the 'bath', Zhou Jing put the sleeping Gu Jinzhi on the bed.

Although he did some exercise, he didn't feel tired, only satisfied.

Covering Gu Jinzhi with the thin blanket on the side, Zhou Jing went to the outer room and greeted the palace servants to give some instructions.

The dragon-pattern vat was carried away, and the hall was cleaned up. Zhou Jing sat at the desk and processed the papers sent from the capital.

Although he came to the palace to escape the summer heat, he was the emperor after all. Even though there were assistant ministers in the capital, he was still needed to decide some matters.

When Gu Jinzhi woke up, it was already evening. Thinking of the mandarin ducks playing in the water just now, Gu Jinzhi rubbed his sore waist helplessly.

After giving an order, Qingluan and others entered the inner room to help her change her clothes and comb her hair.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor sent someone to send a message that he will go to the Empress Dowager's place for dinner at night, and after two days, he will hold a palace banquet in the palace."

Qingluan stood aside, and Ziyuan was combing Gu Jinzhi's hair. This time, everyone except Hongxiu came out with Gu Jinzhi.

On weekdays, Gu Jinzhi used to wear red sleeves when doing anything. Zi Yuan was always in charge of Gu Jinzhi's changing clothes and combing his hair. As for Bai Zhi, she was in charge of Gu Jinzhi's diet, so she also brought it out.

Hongxiu was careful, and Gu Jinzhi was very relieved to let her stay in Fengyang Palace.

"I understand." She responded, and since the emperor was not here, she asked a few more questions.

"Because Your Majesty lives in the Hall of Yiyuan, so the masters are still acquainted, and you didn't bother Your Majesty."

"However, some people passed by the Yiyuan Hall. I don't know if they really passed by or something else."

In the afternoon, Qingluan had a good grasp of the situation in the palace.

At this moment when Gu Jinzhi asked, she opened her mouth to answer, telling Gu Jinzhi what she knew.

"Well, let's go." After everything was packed, Zhou Jing went to the palace where the queen mother lived first. She left the Yiyuan Hall and went to the queen mother's residence in a sedan chair.

Zhou Jing was talking with the queen mother, and it was almost time for dinner, he reckoned that the queen would be here soon.

He only saw Zhou Jing, but did not see Gu Jinzhi. After all, the Queen Mother is someone who has been there before, and after thinking about it, she knows what happened.

In her opinion, this is a good thing, after all, so that she can have children earlier.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has arrived." Nanny Liu came in from outside the hall and saluted the Empress Dowager.

She had just checked in the small kitchen, and dinner was almost ready.

"Please come in, queen." After ordering, the queen mother smiled and looked at the entrance of the hall, and Gu Jinzhi walked in from outside the hall and saluted her.

"Forget it, come and sit at Ai's house." He greeted Gu Jinzhi, and when she got close, the queen mother took a closer look.

Now that it's hot, Gu Jinzhi's body is wearing a gauze skirt, and her hair is not pulled up. It's not because she doesn't want to, but because of the mark on her neck, which needs to be covered by her hair.

Even so, the Empress Dowager saw it, and the smile on the Empress Dowager's face couldn't help but deepen.

"Since it's all here, let's pass on the meal." After ordering, Madam Liu blessed her body and went to let the palace servants pass on the meal.

The dinner was lightly prepared, and the journey was tiring and exhausting. If the food was too greasy, the stomach would not be able to bear it.

What's more, today's hot, light food is more appetizing.

"This palace is the favorite of the Ai family." The queen mother has visited this palace many times.

In the past, when she was a queen, every time the late emperor went to the palace to escape the summer heat, she would follow him.

She has been to all the palaces, and the one she likes the most is this place.

It's not that this place is the closest to the imperial palace, but that it has the best view and is more comfortable to live in.

Although the palaces elsewhere are not bad, some of them are not suitable for summer heat, but are suitable for winter because there are hot springs.

"Since the queen mother likes it, let's stay for a longer time, and we will go back when it cools down."

She smiled and said, this is the first time for Gu Jinzhi to live in the imperial palace, and she is actually looking forward to the palace.

When acting in the past, there were also scenes of going to the palace, but how can the palace for filming compare with the real royal palace?
If it wasn't for being entangled by Zhou Jing, she would have been walking around to see the scenery in the palace after sleeping for a long time in the afternoon.

After dinner, they talked with the queen mother for a while, and the two left.

After working hard all the way, the queen mother's face was full of tiredness, and she should rest earlier.

On the way back to Yiyuan Hall, Zhou Jing held Gu Jinzhi's hand, "There are several lotus ponds in this palace. The lotus blooms just right this season. I will take you to see them after you have rested."

"This is what the emperor said." He cast a sideways glance at Zhou Jing, if it wasn't for him, he might have seen it in the afternoon.

"In the middle of the month, I will take you to go boating in the lake to enjoy the lotus." Zhou Jing coaxed quickly after hearing the reproach in the words.

The two talked and laughed, and returned to the Yiyuan Hall.

After tossing and tossing for a long time during the day, it stopped at night. There are enough ice cubes in Yiyuan Hall, and the location is very good, so you won't feel very hot.

Leaning in Zhou Jing's arms, Gu Jinzhi quickly fell asleep...

Two days later, according to what Zhou Jing said earlier, Gu Jinzhi ordered people to hold a palace banquet in the Huayin Hall in the palace.

After resting for two days, everyone's spirits had already recovered. When they heard that there was going to be a palace banquet, each of them mustered up their energy and showed off their beautiful clothes.

The purpose is to let the emperor remember it at the palace banquet, so that he can sleep with him.

When they first arrived at the palace, everyone was very sour about the emperor's arrangement of the empress in the Yiyuan Hall.

But in just one day, someone figured it out.

Even if the queen lives in Yiyuan Hall, so what?If you can get the emperor's attention, let the emperor come to your residence, why worry about whether you are in the Yiyuan hall?

To be able to sleep, let alone not in Yiyuan Hall, even in the wilderness, it is also possible.

How could they have imagined that the wilderness is already left over from the empress's play...

The time for the palace banquet was set in the evening, and the concubines arrived one after another, waiting for the empress to accompany the empress dowager.

Concubine Dong sat in her seat, her eyes flicked over several newcomers.

"Sister Concubine Dong." Wen Xiuyuan noticed and blessed her.

"Sister Xiuyuan, don't be too polite. Speaking of which, we sisters haven't spoken to each other yet."

From entering the palace to now, Concubine Dong has almost never had the chance to meet Wen Xiuyuan, and it is inevitable that she did not speak.

Although they have been in the palace for the past two days, everyone is very tired, so they are all in their own residences to cultivate their spirits.

"It's my sister's fault. It's time to visit my sister." She said with a smile. When facing Concubine Dong, Wen Xiuyuan's attitude was very kind, as if the two had known each other for a long time and had a very good relationship.

"My younger sister called Bengong my elder sister. This mistake should be my fault. It's the first time we meet now. I hope my younger sister won't be disgusted with this little gift."

While speaking, Concubine Dong took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Wen Xiuyuan's wrist.

Her impression of Wen Xiuyuan has changed.
