"Will you modify the auspicious attire used by Concubine Jing before she was made a concubine?"

When the empress dowager heard the queen's words, her eyes flashed.

When the late emperor was still alive, she had been floating around in the harem, and was accustomed to the ways in which the concubines competed for favor.

Because she had never been a queen in her life, when her son, whom she did not like, inherited the throne and became emperor, after her initial resistance, she accepted Yongzheng's canonization and became the empress dowager.

Immediately afterwards, Yongzheng posthumously conferred the title of "Empress Chunyuan" on his deceased wife, and the empress dowager strongly advocated that her other cousin, Ulanara Yixiu, be made the empress.

The reason why the Queen Mother did this was to ensure the glory of her own family, the Uya family and the Ulanara family!

The Queen Mother was fully aware of the Queen's plans, and her eyes were full of scrutiny as she looked at the Queen.

"Queen, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and it is difficult for you to take care of all this with all your heart."

The Queen Mother put down the rosary in her hand and said with a serious face: "I know that you also hate Wanpin deeply. Now it's just you and me. I have to tell you that I know everything you have done over the years."

"Empress Dowager——"

In addition to wanting to test the Queen Mother, the Queen also wanted to gain the Queen Mother's "approval" so that her next actions would be more convenient.

Who would have known that the Queen Mother would react like this after she had only spoken out her thoughts...

Obviously, the Queen Mother had no intention of blaming her, and even her expression did not change for the worse. However, under her indifferent gaze, the Queen only felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.

This feeling is very uncomfortable!

"I want to ask you, how much do you remember now of what I said to you when the emperor made you the queen?"

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen and asked calmly, "In other words, do you remember the two 'bottom lines' I set for you?"

Upon hearing this, the Queen lowered her head and said nothing. It was unclear whether she felt guilty or had already forgotten what happened.

Or maybe, in the case of the Queen, it’s both!

The Queen Mother also thought of this, which is why she deliberately asked the Queen this question.

Faced with this question, the queen said nothing.

In fact, the Queen remembered clearly what the Queen Mother had said to her back then.

The bottom line set by the Empress Dowager is that the emperor's descendants cannot be harmed and the royal bloodline must be ensured to continue. As for the second one, it is to preserve the glory of the Ulanara and Uya families!

As for the latter, even if the Queen Mother doesn't say anything, the Queen will take care of it wholeheartedly.

After all, only when the family is prosperous can her position as the Empress Dowager be more stable.

However, there are not many people from the Ulanara family who have entered officialdom, and now they cannot provide more help to himself and the empress dowager in the court. Otherwise, the queen would not need to contact other ministers through them.

As for killing the royal heirs...

Haha, the Queen and the Queen Mother have completely different attitudes towards this matter.

No matter which concubine gave birth to the children, they are all the emperor's bloodline and the empress dowager's legitimate grandchildren!

However, the queen did not think so at all.

Even if I am the legitimate mother according to the clan law, so what?

What she needed was not to be honored as the Queen Mother and Empress Dowager after the new emperor ascended the throne after the future emperor passed away.

As the legitimate mother, she could only accept that she would be the one and only empress dowager in the future!

Because of this, the Queen chose Concubine Qi and her son because she saw that Concubine Qi was very stupid but easy to control.

In this case, even if the Third Prince inherits the throne in the future, the Queen has plenty of ways to make Concubine Qi die suddenly!

Of course, if Concubine Qi behaves herself, the Queen, for the sake of their friendship over the years, may tolerate her as a concubine dowager and let her live out her days in the palace.

But what if she wants to challenge me as the Holy Mother?

That's totally wishful thinking!

Therefore, in order to ensure that her plans would not go wrong, the Queen secretly used various means to eliminate dissidents over the years.

She originally thought that what she had done was very secretive, at least Yongzheng had not noticed it over the years.

But now, hearing the Queen Mother's tone, the Queen suddenly realized - maybe the Queen Mother was not completely ignorant!

But even if the Queen Mother knew about it, things had already happened, and it was impossible for her to take action against herself just because of the fait accompli.

Once she lost her position as Empress Dowager, it would be impossible for the Empress Dowager to support a new woman to become Empress in a short period of time.

By then, both sides will suffer losses...

Could this be the reason why the Queen Mother chose to remain silent?

"Why aren't you talking? Are you mute?"

While the Queen was thinking about this, the Queen Mother's voice came from the side.

When the queen heard this, her eyes flickered slightly, but she remained silent.

At this time, no matter what she wanted to say, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, it was all her excuses.

Rather than let him take advantage of the situation, the queen chose to remain silent.

"Okay, since you have been avoiding answering my questions, then you don't need to come to me with your questions!"

The Queen Mother seemed to be very disappointed with the Queen, and she said this coldly to her.

After saying this, the Queen Mother closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to look at the Queen again.

The Queen was not surprised at all by this and just bowed politely to the Queen Mother.

After kneeling down to pay respect, the Queen said, "I understand that Your Majesty wants to be alone, and I will not bother you with those trivial matters anymore! Please take care of yourself, Your Majesty. I will take my leave!"

After saying this, the queen walked out on her own without caring about the queen mother's reaction.

In response, the Queen Mother kept her eyes closed and ignored the Queen.

The Queen Mother didn't open her eyes until the Queen pushed the door and left.

At the same time, Sun Zhuxi also returned to the Queen Mother's side and cast a worried look at his master.

"what happened?"

The Queen Mother looked indifferent in response to Sun Zhuxi's worried look.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, the Queen has left..."

Sun Zhuxi saw the Queen Mother's reaction and felt deeply saddened.

Old palace ladies like her have been serving the empress dowager since she was still a concubine.

Over the years, Sun Zhuxi has accompanied the Queen Mother all the way, and has experienced countless ups and downs.

Sun Zhuxi also took to heart the Empress Dowager's good intentions towards the Uya and Ulanara families.

Therefore, Sun Zhuxi felt very uncomfortable when she saw that the queen was only concerned with protecting her own interests and disrupted all the arrangements of the empress dowager.

But she was just an old maid and a servant. No matter how many things she had in her mind, she could not interfere with her master.

Sun Zhuxi was unable to say a word to the indifferent empress dowager.
