Story of the Forbidden Palace - C122

Above the main hall of the Pilgrimage Palace, the Empress was sipping her newly brewed osmanthus wine as she listened attentively to Wang Quan’s explanation of the things that needed to be paid attention to in the Wishing Palace. His heart was filled with annoyance, but it was the emperor’s will after all. He was praying for Yun Xu, the eleventh prince in the midst of his illness.

As the mother, she naturally had to put a lot of importance on it, even if she had to put on an act. The three Imperial Concubines under the Empress bowed their heads in silence, their expressions different. Noble Consort Mianshou stayed in the palace to accompany Yun Xu, and did not come.

Madame Jin had a charming smile, and looked like she was in a good mood. It was most likely none of her business. It would be nice to join in on the fun.

Right next to the Madame Jin are my four concubines, me and my three concubines.

The ones sitting next to me are naturally Ru Mei and Qi Meng, followed by the rest of my concubines. The first hall of the main hall had gathered together, and it was the sweltering afternoon air. Everyone was feeling extremely irritated.

Wang Quan was extremely serious as he explained the rules left behind by his ancestor without missing a word. A soft voice resounded in the hall. Everyone had to be able to hear it clearly.

The empress sat up straight after she finished explaining with much difficulty. “Are you listening carefully, my sisters?” Everyone hurriedly got up and knelt down, “Chenqie, listen carefully.”

“Oh, that’s good.” The Empress squinted her eyes, her slender phoenix eyes flashed with a sharp light: “I also hope for Yun Xu’s health to be smooth, it’s just that everything depends on heaven’s will. All my sisters have to do is pray for him. ”

Everyone agreed in unison, and the empress said, “Kneel and rest!” Just as I was about to leave with the rest, the Queen called out to me, “Wanqing, wait a moment.”

Madame Zhao looked at me with worry, and I replied her with a relieved expression. Only then did she carefully withdraw. The empress said to me, “It has been a long time since my sister has come to visit me. I think it is because she is not feeling well.”

I slightly bent my knees. “Thank you for your concern, esteemed mistress. Wanqing has been feeling very tired after her weak body. This is why we do not dare to leave the palace without permission, for fear of hurting others. ”

“How could that be?” The empress’s smile grew wider, “Even when Ru Mei is pregnant, she doesn’t avoid interacting with you, Wanqing. I’m afraid you have to work too hard for her womb to harm your own body! ”

Before I could say anything, the empress opened her mouth again, “In the end, little sister is only taking care of herself for the sake of others. The reason why Ru Mei successfully gave birth to Lin’er is naturally because of you, Wanqing. ”

I said, as if I understood something, “Wanqing just did what she had to do, how could it be considered as doing meritorious service. Moreover, Imperial Physician Chang has always taken care of the concubine’s womb, so I was just standing at the side and exhorting them to do things in detail. ”

The empress was still neither angered nor annoyed, she merely asked Bao Qi to bring a cup of osmanthus wine to my face. “Little sister, have a taste of this osmanthus wine, it was brewed this summer.”

Actually, I am already a little curious. Why would the empress drink in the main hall today when she doesn’t even touch a single drop of wine? However, there was no objection. He picked up the wine bottle and took a small sip.

“This fragrance …” I’m not a good drinker, but I also feel that the taste of this wine is strong and sour, and not as good as sniffing the wine. The empress couldn’t help but laugh. “This was brewed with osmanthus flower that was stimulated this summer, it’s not a flower that grew naturally. “Originally, it smelled extremely fragrant, but unexpectedly, the wine that was made was actually this fragrant …”

“It looks like the harem doesn’t have any secrets. The Empress clearly knows that Ru Mei needs to be born in order to protect the Emperor’s bloodline. If his sister wanted to bet on a treasure, she had to bet on someone who was worth it. Otherwise, like this wine, if we spend all our effort on brewing it, we will end up with only a portion of it being poured out. “
