After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Eunuch Shun was holding a scroll of imperial edict in his hand, followed by many servants and several large boxes of rewards.

Yuan Qing was about to perform the ceremony but was stopped by Eunuch Shun.

"His Majesty has specifically instructed that Your Majesty does not need to perform the formalities. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can send Xiao Xizi to the capital to report."

A young eunuch stepped forward.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." According to her status, she was exempt from kneeling, so she just bowed to express her gratitude.

"Nineteenth Prince, why don't you come over and meet Concubine Qing?" Eunuch Shun stepped aside and said to the Nineteenth Prince behind him.

The little prince was obviously a little shy, and it was only after his wet nurse, Nanny Fang, quietly pushed him that he slowly walked out.

Wen Cheng'an, who was only three years old, knelt down and kowtowed to Yuan Qing carefully, "Your son pays homage to your mother."

"Get up quickly." Yuan Qing said with a smile.

Chibi Maruko is very cute.

Especially the chubby face, which is so round and plump that people want to pinch it when they look at it.

"I have also followed the Queen Mother's wishes and sent some clever maids here."

Eunuch Shun waved his hand, and a group of palace maids in their twenties came out and stood in a row for her to choose.

Yuan Qing's eyes were dazzled by what he saw.

They were all young girls of about her age, pretty and charming.

She picked out a few of the better looking ones and kept them.

There's nothing I can do about it, since she is obsessed with looks.

Even the little girl who serves by your side all day long has to be pleasing to the eye.

Eunuch Shun smiled and said, "If that's the case, I will take the rest of the people back with me.

Your Majesty and the Queen Mother have completed all the tasks assigned to them. I will take my leave now."

"Go slowly, eunuch." Yuan Qing turned around and ordered, "Qingdai."

Qingdai understood, and took small steps to catch up, and stuffed the things she had prepared in her sleeve into Eunuch Shun's hands.

"Empress, what about these people?" Qingguo asked in a low voice.

Yuan Qing glanced at the four pretty maids and asked, "What are their names?"

The oldest maid among the four took a step forward and bowed slowly, "In reply to your Majesty, since we are already yours, we have no relationship with the past. Please give us a new name."

The other three people stepped forward together and said, "Please give me a new name, Madam."

When it comes to naming, Yuan Qing gets a headache.

She is a real bad at naming.

The original owner was a lady who was well-read in poetry and literature, but she was not.

She didn't have much knowledge to begin with, and after all these years, how could she squeeze out any more?

Her mind is now full of spring flowers and autumn moons...

If we really give them such names, the chances of having the same name as others would be very high.

If you were walking on the street and shouting “Spring flowers, Autumn moon”, there would probably be countless responses.

No no no.

"Just call me by your previous name. There aren't that many rules here."

After thinking about it, Yuan Qing decided not to think about it anymore.

After everyone was settled, the huge palace finally became a little lively.

Before, there were only a few of them living there, and it was cold and deserted, quite eerie.

After dinner, Qingdai accompanied Yuanqing for a walk in the yard to help digest the food.

"Yuan Yi." Yuan Qing turned around and called.

Yuan Yi walked out from the darkness, and his tall figure seemed somewhat mature under the moonlight.

She estimated that he was about 1.80 meters tall.

But he is only fifteen years old now. What if he grows up? Will he grow to 1.9 meters or even 2 meters?

"How about I give you a new name too?"

Yuan Yi Yuan Yi, this name always feels like it is wholesaled from a factory and has no representativeness at all.

After all, it was her father who picked her personally, so how could she not have a special name?

Yuan Yi immediately knelt down and said solemnly: "Master, please give me a name."

He had been waiting for this moment.

Giving a name represents the master's approval and can truly prove that you are the master's person.

"How about the word 'Yi'?" Yuan Qing looked at him deeply, "When I saw your eyes that day, I felt that this word suits you very well.

The pronunciations of Yi and Yi are similar, so you won’t feel uncomfortable when others call you that in the future.”

"Thank you, master." Yuan Yi's voice was not as plain as usual, but instead revealed a kind of joy.

……

Yuan Qing was forced to stay in bed by Qingdai for half a month.

After half a month of feeding, Yuan Qing became visibly rounder.

Pinching her little round face, Yuan Qing sighed continuously.

If you keep lying like this, you'll turn into a pig.

As soon as she took out the men's clothes and mask she had prepared, she was caught by Qingdai.

"Miss, why did you take these out again?" Qingdai put down the fruit plate and walked over.

Yuan Qing hurriedly rolled the clothes into his arms and said in a tough manner: "No one can stop me today."

Qing Dai had no choice but to agree, "Then when you go into the city, remember not to leave Guard Yuan's side.

We can rest assured with his protection.”

Yuan Qing nodded immediately.

"Mother, where are you going?"

Qingdai had just helped her clean up when she saw a little head pop out from the doorway, looking at the two of them with its head tilted.

"Xiao An, come here." Yuan Qing waved her hand, "Mother asks you, do you want to go out?"

After half a month of getting along, this little guy is no longer as shy as when he first came.

Especially towards Yuan Qing, he was unexpectedly close to her, which really made her feel like she was raising a son.

Wen Cheng'an ran over happily, hugged Yuan Qing's calf and acted coquettishly, "Mother, take An'er with you, okay?"

Yuan Qing held him in her arms and kissed him hard, "Okay, mother will take you out to buy some candy."

Wen Chengan hugged her neck excitedly.

"But you can't go out wearing this."

Yuan Qing turned around and ordered, "Go to An'er's bedroom and get a set of casual clothes."

Qingdai replied: "It should be possible. I will ask Nanny Fang."

Nanny Fang quickly brought Wen Cheng'an's clothes and put them on him.

Yuan Qing picked him up and went out with Yuan Yi.

In order to take care of the two masters, he specially selected Hongyu, one of the palace maids who was assigned to the palace, to serve them.

"Remember to pay special attention to the rest of the people, especially their words and actions." Yuan Qing instructed Qingdai before leaving.

"This slave knows."

Watching the master and his four servants leave, Qingguo craned his neck to look around, and only withdrew his gaze when he could no longer see anyone.

"Miss, why do you only take that jade thing with you when you go out?" Qingguo said sullenly.

After saying that, he looked outside again.

She also wanted to go out with the lady...

To be honest, she thinks she is pretty good-looking.

It's just a little bit inferior to that jade.

Qing Dai pulled her back into the hall, looked around, and when she found that no one was around, she said to her, "Don't say this kind of thing in front of others in the future, especially those people."
