It's great, another day of lying down and idling in the palace

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said: "My Lady, a woman should be chaste, dignified, and calm."

Ji Yunqing gave her an extremely innocent look in response: "Empress Dowager, this is what I did!"

Where did you do that?

The Queen Mother watched as Ji Yunqing sat down next to her in a familiar manner, and even peeled an orange and stuffed it into his mouth. She grimaced in pain because of the sour taste.

She doesn't look like a dignified and elegant imperial concubine at all, but rather like an ignorant common woman!

The Queen Mother directly mocked her: "Look at how you look now, you are really dignified and quiet!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunqing quickly said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your compliment."

The Queen Mother suffered another heart attack.

Is she praising her?

The Queen Mother realized that she had no chance of winning the argument with this tough guy, so she looked at the Queen who had just entered.

"Queen, why did you take so long to come here? Don't you think highly of me, the Queen Mother?"

The Queen said calmly, "My Lord, I came here immediately after hearing the Queen Mother's order."

Ji Yunqing was chattering like a talking mynah bird: "Look, Queen Mother, you just like me running here like this.

You actually looked down on me when I first came in. You are such a double-tongued little devil!"

"Ah! Is this what the legend says, love is hard to express in words?"

She sighed on the spot with a gorgeous aria with ups and downs.

The Queen Mother finally couldn't help it and glared at Ji Yunqing: "Do you also know that I despise you? Can you shut up?"

What a hypocritical little devil. She has love in her heart but cannot express it. How dare she say it out loud.

Otherwise, if it weren't for the emperor's face, she would have ordered people to drag this guy out and beat him to death.

Ji Yunqing tilted his head slightly and showed a bright and sunny smile: "Don't be angry, Queen Mother, I just said this briefly.

In fact, I don’t feel that you dislike me. I know that you, Queen Mother, just like me to accompany you.”

The Queen Mother said she didn't like it.

But looking at the woman in front of him with her brilliant smile, delicate face, and exquisite and beautiful orange palace dress, she was particularly bright and charming.

No wonder she is so popular with her emperor son.

The other person's white and tender fingers were quietly picking at the peony embroidered on the corner of her clothes.

Ok?

Picking at her clothes?

Quickly and mercilessly slapped her claws away.

Ji Yunqing withdrew his hand with regret, and rubbed his retracted fingertips against each other. This time, all his fingers were clean.

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, ignored the man, and continued talking to the Queen.

"This palace is not like an ordinary family. We must always set an example for the people of the world."

"What the Queen Mother said is true."

"Queen, you have your own thoughts and it's normal that you don't like to listen to my nagging."

"I am terrified"

"I don't understand those things. I only know that morning and evening visits are a moral code and are indispensable. If one only pursues pleasure and ignores these etiquettes, then the people will follow suit.

Wouldn’t it be like a country without a country, and would propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame become a joke?”

The Queen lowered her head and closed her eyes: "My mother taught me that"

Seeing the Queen's obedient appearance, the Queen Mother didn't think she had listened to her. She had said this countless times, and the Queen Mother always said, "It's my mother's teaching."

The Queen Mother did not intend to let her delay any longer, and said in a tough tone: "In short, this greeting must be resumed tomorrow.

Also, five days is too long, so I will change it to daily morning and evening visits. This is my idea."

The Queen knew that the Queen Mother had made up her mind.

She couldn't help but feel a headache. The Queen Mother was particularly insistent on this matter, and in essence, she was arguing for the right to speak in the palace.

If the Queen Mother has the upper hand, then she will naturally be the leader in the palace.

vice versa.

At this moment, a voice familiar to both of them interrupted: "Yes, the Queen Mother is right, we must pay respects, and we must do it every day!"

The Queen Mother and the Empress looked at Ji Yunqing who was speaking at the same time.

Both of them had surprise on their faces.

Queen Mother: How come I didn’t know this guy was so hardworking?

Queen: Doesn't Ji Yunqing dislike going out in winter? Especially in the early morning.

Then Ji Yunqing continued to swear to the queen: "Queen, let's listen to the Queen Mother and don't make her angry."

The Queen Mother gave a satisfied smile.

She's quite sensible.

It's not without reason that the emperor values ​​her.

Among all the people in the palace, the imperial concubine was barely worthy of her liking.

Before the Queen Mother's smile disappeared, Ji Yunqing continued, "When the time comes, Queen, you can bring the concubines from the harem to sit with the Queen Mother every day.

It's both filial piety and courtesy, the best of both worlds!"

The Queen Mother keenly sensed that something was wrong.

Ji Yunqing's round almond eyes were full of excitement, "Empress Dowager, I will come to see you every day, okay?"

As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, her eyes full of anticipation and longing.

"On the first day, I played the harp for you. On the second day, I played the flute for you. On the third day, I painted for you. On the fourth day, I danced for you. On the fifth day, I sang for you. On the sixth day, I played chess with you.

On the seventh day, I am tired and need to take a rest. On the eighth day, we can continue playing the piano... This cycle repeats itself. You will not feel bored, nor will you be unable to sleep because of excessive anticipation."

The Queen Mother couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"I don't--"

“No, no, no.” Ji Yunqing grabbed the Queen Mother’s hand and held it tightly.

"Please don't refuse, okay? I love you so much that I am thinking of you so much.

I believe you have the same idea as me. You must ask the concubines to pay their respects. It must be because you want to see me so much, right? "

Ji Yunqing was so moved that tears were about to flow out.

She had a look of anger and shame on her face, and took the other person's hand and pulled it in front of her: "Queen Mother, you are too tactful. Fortunately, I figured out the key point in time."

The Queen Mother was stunned.

What exactly did you figure out?

In just a moment, the Queen Mother heard Ji Yunqing's devilish whisper: "It's settled, we'll come early tomorrow.

Hmm, should I stay at Concubine Jing's place for a while? She is relatively close to here. I have to come here on time at three o'clock in the morning to look for the Queen Mother. I can't be delayed too long on the road."

The Queen Mother shuddered?

He shouted, "Three o'clock?"

23:00 to 1:00

Ji Yunqing responded by nodding as a matter of course.

"Yes"

"Empress Dowager, do you think it's too late? But I think we can't disturb your rest."

The Queen Mother pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Why don't you come at dusk (between 17:00 and 21:00)?"

In response to her, Ji Yunqing disagreed: "Empress Dowager, this evening has not yet turned into a new day."

Queen Mother: "..."

"Okay, it's settled. We'll come to pay our respects to the Empress Dowager at three o'clock, and then finish our conversation here. Then we'll go back."

After a long silence, the Queen Mother advised her: "There is no need to pay respects all day long. It is really too tiring."
