The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are cheating

As soon as this idea emerged, Li Dehuai quickly extinguished it.

How could he have such a rebellious idea!

After Lin Cainu stepped down, she saw that the Queen Mother was in great favor, and these concubines tried to please the Queen, which was actually to please the Emperor.

This is just a way for them to win favor!

"In short, today's greetings have been cancelled. The weather is very hot, so you ladies should return to the palace early." Li Dehuai said, and left in a hurry.

All the concubines looked at Li Dehuai's back, and each of them had a distraught expression.

You can't hear the latest gossip.

Can't watch TV series either.

What good is there in their lives now?

Concubine De was preparing to return to the palace sadly.

Qiu Li in the Queen Mother's Palace called her, "My Lady Defei, the Queen Mother wants to see you."

Concubine De was stunned for a moment.

Queen Mother?

It is said that this empress dowager worshipped Buddha all year round and did not like to see people.

Even when the emperor conferred titles on the six palaces, she never showed up.

Now, she suddenly wants to see me?

"Why does the Queen Mother suddenly want to see me?" Defei asked hesitantly.

"The Empress Dowager wants to see Your Majesty, so of course she likes Your Majesty. Your Majesty Defei comes from a military family and has a cheerful personality. The Empress Dowager likes people like Your Majesty." Qiu Li said with a smile.

As she spoke, she glanced at the other concubines inconspicuously.

The greeting ceremony was cancelled today. Otherwise, the Empress Dowager would have wanted to summon Concubine De in front of the Empress during the greeting ceremony.

This is to tell the Queen.

She doesn't know how to appreciate a favor, but there are many people who do!

In terms of family background, Concubine De is no worse than the Empress, so she is perfect for support!

"Is it possible not to go?" Defei couldn't help but ask.

Qiu Li's expression froze for a moment: "Why? Madam Defei, you should think it through. This is a summons from the Queen Mother!"

"So I have to go?" Defei was a little depressed.

Qiu Li gritted her teeth and said, "Of course it is."

"Then you lead the way." Defei immediately revealed an extremely bitter expression.

"Defei, you can go with peace of mind. We will continue to wait here. When the Queen wakes up, we can also meet her." Chen Shuyi said with some gloating.

Defei's face suddenly turned ugly.

Qiu Li's eyes moved slightly, but she heard other meanings.

Jiang Zhimiao is a very majestic queen. Even in such hot weather, she made these concubines wait under the scorching sun.

These concubines must be full of resentment towards Jiang Zhimiao.

This is the Queen Mother’s chance!

Qiu Li seemed to be thinking about something, and left with Concubine De.

The concubines were unwilling to leave, and Zuiyue naturally could not let them wait in the sun, so she placed them all in a side hall.

Chen Shuyi said considerately: "Zuiyue, the queen must have been tired last night, don't wake her up. Let the queen have a good sleep, I will just wait here."

"That's right."

The other concubines also spoke up.

Shou'an Palace.

Concubine De bowed respectfully.

The Queen Mother smiled and called her up, then held her hand lovingly and said, "I'm sorry for having troubled you these days."

Concubine De didn't understand: "I don't feel wronged."

The Queen Mother sighed, "You still want to hide this for the Queen? I have heard that the Queen is very majestic. She is too sleepy to get up, but she wants you to wait outside. This is really not the demeanor of a queen."

De Fei was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "This has nothing to do with the Queen, it's all our own will."

"Voluntarily?" The Queen Mother said in a gentle voice, "De Fei, I heard that the daughter of the Jiang family was gentle and virtuous, sensible and polite, so I asked the Emperor to hire her as the Queen. Now it seems that people's words are not credible at all. She has been so arrogant since she became the Queen, which really disappoints me. But you, De Fei, have a cheerful personality, and I like you very much."

The Queen Mother hinted desperately.

Concubine De was a little confused.

Queen Mother, Queen Mother is not happy with the Queen? What should I do?

Defei became anxious and knelt down and started crying.

"Whose slander did the Empress Dowager listen to? The Empress Dowager is the mother of the country, and everyone in the harem obeys her. We are waiting outside because we miss the Empress Dowager too much. What does this have to do with the Empress Dowager?"

"Besides the Empress, no one else can be the master of the harem."

"Please don't mention this again, Your Majesty. I am extremely terrified."

"If the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with the Queen, then she is also dissatisfied with me, and even more so with all the concubines in the harem."

"Your Majesty, please think twice."

Concubine De cried very sincerely, she was really scared.

If the Queen Mother suddenly went mad and targeted the Queen, the Queen would be so upset that how could she still have the mind to follow dramas and gossip?

So what should she do?

She might as well just die!

Defei cried louder and louder, and when she was so emotional, she hugged the empress dowager's thighs.

The Queen Mother was completely confused by Concubine De's reaction, and she couldn't help but glance at Qiu Li.

This news was brought by Qiuli.

Qiu Li's expression was even more confused than hers.

Defei was crying and had already started wiping her tears with her trouser legs.

The Queen Mother could not help but said, "I just said it casually, Concubine De, please don't take it to heart."

Concubine De wiped away her tears and said, "Are you really just saying it casually?"

The Queen Mother nodded reluctantly.

"I was so scared." De Fei patted her chest and said, "Your Majesty, please don't say it casually next time. I can't help being scared."

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips twitched, and she said slowly, "You can leave now."

Concubine De wiped her tears and left happily.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but frown.

She just hinted a few times, and Concubine De was so frightened that she burst into tears.

The queen's methods are extraordinary!

"I underestimated the queen." The queen mother said coldly, "Last night, the emperor defended her in public. Today, Concubine De didn't even dare to respond. As the queen, she really has the final say!"

"It's a pity that Lin Cainu has fallen out of favor. Otherwise, the queen wouldn't be so proud." Qiu Li said in a low voice.

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Lin Qingqing is of low status, yet she dares to harass my Hua'er. If Hua'er hadn't said that she was useful, I would never pay attention to such a lowly person."

As she spoke, a hint of sadness appeared between her brows.

Yue Lin got ruthless this time and put Yue Hua under house arrest.

She did want to do something, but Yue Lin had the evidence in her hands. If the news of Hua'er's secret meeting with the concubine got out, the consequences would be disastrous.

Hua'er also sent a message, asking her to stay calm and saying that he had his own way to escape.

Thinking of Yuehua's confident look, the Queen Mother also relaxed.

There is nothing Huaer cannot accomplish that she wants to do. She just needs to wait.

Anhe Palace.

Yuehua was writing something seriously.

After writing for a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.

That’s enough for now.

Seeing this is enough for these women to scratch their heads and ask for the next chapter.

After seeing such an amazing work, are you still afraid that those women won’t be attracted to him, or even fall in love with him?

Yuehua closed the book.

There were three words written on the cover.

"Dream of the Red Chamber"
