At the first hour of the new year, Ma Qingwu woke up, because today he had to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, and then he went to [Kunning Palace] to pay his respects to the Queen, which was a must.Because as a concubine, she was not allowed to leave the palace, so she could be lazy and avoid the usual salutes, but this salute on the first day of the new year was a must.

"Concubine/Concubine/Concubine Ji/Concubine sees the Empress Dowager in person, may the Empress Dowager have good luck and good health!" Twenty concubines knelt down according to their status and rank, and saluted the most skilled woman.

"Okay, okay, get up quickly! Aijia likes the gifts you sent up very much, and I asked Hibiscus to prepare a gift for you in return. After spending more than half an hour with Aijia, go back. The first day of the new year, I want to come You also have a lot of things in your hands." The queen mother asked everyone to get up, and then said something about the annual gift they sent, because she was originally a kind person, and she would not intentionally embarrass her without any special reason. Alone.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Everyone said in unison, and then they all sat down, with Ma Qingwu still sitting in the last seat.But from her point of view, she naturally saw all the concubines before her in her eyes, including the stunning beauty of the country and the city, the freshness of Xiaojiabiyu, and the beauty of the smart lady, Qi Hongyi is really beautiful. Woolen cloth!Although her appearance is not bad, she is also very satisfied, because it is impossible for one person to gather all the excellence, so even though she knows that Qi Hongyi has not really favored them, she still has some differences in her heart. felt it.

"Qingwu, the scarves and shawls you made are very good. After Ai's family wears them, I feel very warm. I remember that when you first drafted into the palace, you were still not good at female celebrities. I didn't expect that it was only half a year ago that you could make such a thing." Good things are coming!" The Queen Mother's words made Maca Qingwu come back to her senses, and quickly answered her.Half an hour later, the concubines all stood up and said goodbye one by one, and they were going to the Queen's [Kunning Palace] next, so everyone just changed places, but here is not the Queen Mother's [Kangshou Palace] It was so easy.

"Dear sisters, especially the sixteen younger sisters who entered the palace last year, you have been in the palace for more than half a year. I believe that you are familiar with the affairs of the palace. After entering the palace, you must remember yourself. It’s my duty, and I know what I should do, and I know the importance. It’s only been half a year, and the days to come are still long, so walking around between sisters is very necessary, but I can’t stay in my room all the time Here, we don’t move around with each other.” After everyone saluted, the queen said these words, and what she said also meant something.

"Empress, of course the concubine is very willing to come to [Kunning Palace], I am afraid that you will find it annoying to be a concubine! Because the empress is pregnant now, she needs to maintain a good mood in order to give birth to a beautiful baby. Dragon son!" An Guiren was the first to speak, because since she entered the palace, she has been courting the queen, no matter when, as long as she is around, she will always be the first to speak to the queen.

"Yes, sister, the concubine is also very willing to come to [Kunning Palace], but because my sister is pregnant now, I am afraid that it will disturb you. But since my sister has said so, then this year, my sister must I will come here often." Concubine Xue took up Mrs. An's words, and sometimes it is necessary to say something in the scene, especially when all the concubines are present, it is even more necessary to speak beautifully.

"You guys, even if I'm pregnant, I don't sleep all day, so my sisters can still come over, otherwise I will be very boring. Qingwu, especially you, who came to this palace [ Kunning Palace] The number of times is the least, and the time I see you the most is at the palace banquet, and I will come here often in the future." The queen is also full of smiles, but in the end she nodded dance name.

"Going back to the empress, I'm a little lazy. [Bi Shui Pavilion] is some distance away from [Kunning Palace]. Even if I sit on the shoulders, it takes about half an hour to get there, so I will arrive at the beginning of each month. I'll come over to say hello on the [-]th." Although Ma Qingwu was a little surprised, she replied quickly.

"Presumptuous! Ba Baolin, you are so courageous! I am not asking you now, but telling you to come here often to pay your respects. You must know that other concubines often come to [Kunning Palace], You are the only one who comes here twice a month, are you proud of being favored?" The queen suddenly had an outburst, I don't know if it was because of Ma Qingwu's outspokenness, or because she had no awe for herself and no other concubine for her. In short, she suppressed her smile and shouted angrily.

"Queen empress, calm down! Empress, calm down! Empress, calm down!..." The concubines all knelt down one by one, because the queen is to them what the emperor is to the ministers, so when she gets angry, she still Very apprehensive. "Back to Empress Empress, I'm just telling the truth, I don't think there's anything wrong with it, and I don't need to come to pay my respects, I haven't broken the rules." Although Ma Qingwu also knelt down together, she still Definitely spoke her mind.

"Okay, okay! Since you are so sure, then you kneel here for me now, and see how long you can be stubborn! You all go down, you don't need to stay any longer!" The queen looked at Saber Qingwu still not Changing her expression, she became even angrier, so she was forced to kneel.

Because she is a queen, the other concubines flatter and respect her. Only Maca Qingwu looks the same from beginning to end. When she salutes herself, it is just out of etiquette, without the slightest awe.Even though her grade is still far from her own, Maca Qingwu seems to have always been like this, neither arrogant nor impetuous, calm as before, what is she proud of?
