Chapter 297 [Make things difficult]

On the second day, the news that the queen was favored again was immediately spread all over the place.

The queen has not been summoned to the palace for two years. It was a very embarrassing thing at this time, but now she is favored. Those palace people who treated her neglected in the past immediately joined her and flattered her non-stop.

"Your Majesty, you see they sent so many things in the morning." Dan'er counted the jewels sent by the concubines.

Yuan Shengmin sat on the soft couch and drank tea, "It's just following the trend, if I don't get this kind of favor, they still won't take me seriously."

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, who in this harem can compare to your empress' identity and beauty, it will be a matter of time before the emperor favors you." Dan'er said with a smile.

"Really?" Yuan Shengmin's expression darkened, "I think there is someone who is much better than me."

"Dan'er, do you feel that there is something wrong with the emperor's two visits?" She asked suddenly.

Dan'er stopped and thought for a while, "No, it's the same as usual, and your eating habits haven't changed. Madam, you must be overly happy and worrying too much. The emperor is the emperor, so what could be wrong?"

Yuan Shengmin closed her eyes in thought, and she couldn't tell what was wrong, anyway, she just felt that something was awkward, maybe she really thought too much.

"Empress, all the concubines are ready to pay their respects to the imperial concubine." The eunuch outside the door said as he entered.

Yuan Shengmin put down the teacup and got up, "Well, I'm going right away."
-
Shoukang Palace.

Sitting on the high seat was Qu Jingwan, on the left was Concubine Ru, and on the right was a woman Yuan Shengmin had never seen before, holding a little girl in her arms.

"My concubine pays her respects to the imperial concubine, concubine Ru and concubine Ru, all blessings and gold." After Yuan Shengmin knelt down, the concubines behind her immediately followed after seeing her kneeling.

Ruan Fuxiang added immediately: "My concubine pays respects to Concubine Huogui, Concubine Gui, Princess An, Wanfu Jinan."

After saying that, Yuan Shengmin's eyes sank, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the woman sitting there with a half-smile.

"Concubine..."

Huo Yuying immediately interrupted her, her tone was not as gentle as before, "This concubine doesn't come out often, so I don't know if the queen doesn't know me, I don't know if it's because I don't know the Yongling harem very well, or I don't know what kind of concubine I am. Willing to know?"

Yuan Shengmin's face turned pale, and he kowtowed to plead guilty, "The concubine really doesn't know what happened in Yongling's previous court, and I hope that Concubine Huogui will forgive her."

"It's been more than two years since I entered the palace. For more than two years, as the lord of the harem, I don't even know these things. There are only a few concubines in Shoukang Palace. I'm afraid the queen doesn't have that kind of heart." Huo Yuying's words became more and more tricky.

Qu Jingwan just sat there drinking tea leisurely, teasing Princess An from time to time.

Concubine Ru smiled and waved to Ruan Fuxiang, "Sister, come and sit here."

After Ruan Fuxiang thanked her, she got up and walked over. Seeing Qu Jingwan nodding, the rest of the concubines also got up and sat down, but Yuan Shengmin was still kneeling on the ground.

Huo Yuying didn't intend to let her get up either, she hugged her daughter in her arms and smiled, "An'er, remember what my mother and concubine said, this person, don't be greedy, or you will always reap the consequences in the end."

An'er is only over two years old this year, and her ignorant appearance is very cute, but she also nodded obediently.

Huo Yuying glanced lazily at Yuan Shengmin, "Okay, get up."

"Thank you, Concubine Huogui." Yuan Shengmin stood up with trembling legs.

Yu Ruofei suddenly smiled at this moment, "Why is the empress so tired after kneeling for so long? That's right, it's understandable to be a little tired after serving the emperor all night yesterday."

As soon as the words came out, Yuan Shengmin was razed by knives in the palace, and the concubines glared at her resentfully, wishing to poke her into a honeycomb.
