When I heard the description of her dream at Hongfu Temple, I didn't pay attention to the true meaning behind those words.
Later, when he heard that the Queen Mother had no intention of taking her into the palace, he couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied.
So, driven by impulse, he went to Xie's house to meet this woman.
As a result, he rescued the other person by accident before they even met, and suddenly he had a special feeling when he was holding Shen Muxue in his arms.
It seems that the problem is not with his own ability, but that he prefers those who take the initiative to attack rather than those who come to him.
The curtains were gently lowered, covering up the beautiful scene inside.
The next morning, Shen Muxue asked an attendant to lead her to the Yixiang Palace where the Empress Dowager was staying to pay her respects.
Before I got close to my destination, I saw from afar that Nanny Zhou had been waiting outside the door for a long time. I felt very warm when I saw her.
Following Nanny Zhou's steps, Shen Muxue relaxed a lot. She respectfully bowed to the Queen Mother and asked about her health.
The Queen Mother showed her an exceptionally gentle and caring attitude towards her.
"Such a lovely girl is truly delightful. No wonder the Emperor chose her as his concubine. Remember to accompany and serve him well in the future. You must not let this honor down."
Shen Muxue responded gracefully and gently, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for your kind words. It is truly an honor for me to be your consort. I will do my best to live up to your trust."
"This woman is such a pitiful sight! Madam Hu, please quickly bring out the ruby jewelry we have treasured for so long. The bright color best highlights the charm of a young woman."
Faced with such a generous reward, Shen Muxue showed more respect and gratitude.
"I am deeply grateful for the Queen Mother's kindness and love. For a humble official who lost his mother long ago, meeting the Queen Mother is as warm and heartwarming as meeting my own mother."
While saying this, she did not forget to symbolically wipe away the moisture from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief in her hand.
Since receiving the task assigned by the system, Shen Muxue feels that her acting skills have made a qualitative leap this time.
The woman who was previously tried to be betrothed to the empress dowager's grandson as a wife has now become his son's woman. I really don't know how the old man feels about this.
Since he pretended to be so kind, Shen Muxue would naturally cooperate and perform a touching scene.
Seeing Shen Muxue's cleverness, the Queen Mother liked her even more and carefully explained, "You are still young and have just entered the palace. You don't know many of the palace rules. If you encounter any injustice, don't keep it in your heart. Tell me and I will seek justice for you."
"Thank you for your grace, Her Majesty the Queen Mother. It is truly wonderful."
Her eyes were slightly moist, as if her gratitude almost turned into tears. At this moment, the sound of the emperor's arrival came from outside.
As the footsteps got closer, just as she was about to turn around and salute, she was firmly grasped by the emperor's big hand.
He seemed to be oblivious to everything around him, including the Queen Mother's playful gaze, and took her slender hand.
The Empress Dowager and Madam Hu looked at each other and smiled, obviously realizing that the newcomer might become a powerful rival to Concubine Xie.
"Your Majesty, you have come in such a hurry, are you afraid that I will mistreat your beloved?"
Faced with the Queen Mother's teasing, Shen Muxue was too shy to look her in the face.
The emperor responded calmly, "Your Majesty, I am only joking. I have come to pay my respects."
While feeling this care, I also remind readers to add this article to their collection.
"Alas, what's the point of caring about an old woman? You'd better take your baby back home as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble here."
Listening to the relaxed conversation between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, Shen Muxue was convinced that the relationship between the two was quite harmonious, and the outside world's statement that the Emperor was extremely filial was probably true.
After understanding the current situation, she also learned how to behave appropriately, and said softly, "It seems that the Empress Dowager really loves me very much."
In this way, the meeting ended quickly in a harmonious atmosphere, and the emperor took her hand and left the palace.
Before he had gone a few steps, he saw Madam Hu hurriedly catching up. With a hint of panic, she said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The Empress Dowager was so overjoyed that I forgot to tell her something."
"Mammy, please don't be so reserved. Please go ahead."
"Yesterday, when Concubine Shu entered the palace, she should have gone to greet Concubine Xie according to etiquette. Since she did not pay her respects in time, she must go as soon as possible today and show sufficient respect. This will not only demonstrate your virtue of abiding by the rules and regulations, but also avoid angering Concubine Xie."
Thinking of the emperor's care for her last night and how he rushed here early in the morning to escort her, Shen Muxue almost forgot a fact.
It turns out that there was a favored Concubine Xie before her.
Although she felt slightly unhappy, Shen Muxue still maintained a polite smile. "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your reminder. I will immediately go to Concubine Xie's palace to pay my respects."
Obviously, the Queen Mother deliberately added this piece of advice, nominally to guide the newcomer, but in fact it was a hidden agenda, trying to cause friction between the two women.
Just a moment ago, Shen Muxue thought she had won the Queen Mother's true love, but now she realized that she was too naive.
How could this palace fighting master say such insignificant words for nothing?
Considering that the queen had been deposed and Concubine Xie was currently the leader in the palace, she should have visited her in person.
Looking up at the emperor on the dragon carriage, I couldn't help but wonder which side he would stand on when the newcomer met the old one.
"Come up and sit down."
The emperor on the dragon throne extended his hand to Shen Muxue.
"Your Majesty... this is against etiquette. As an ordinary concubine, how dare I ride in the same carriage with Your Majesty?"
The emperor's face darkened when he heard the rejection.
However, in a flash, he remembered that it was precisely because Shen Muxue was so humble and unpretentious that her unique charm was revealed.
Seeing her hesitation, the emperor picked her up and placed her on the seat beside him, jokingly saying, "Does my beloved concubine have to let me hold her before she agrees?"
When Shen Muxue thought about the upcoming audience with Concubine Xie, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Suppressing her displeasure, she smiled sweetly and said, "I'm about to go see Noble Concubine Xie. Your Majesty, don't be afraid that Sister Xie will become jealous."
The emperor said nonchalantly, "You don't have to go. You are still very weak. Take a good rest."
Upon hearing this, Shen Muxue was ecstatic at first, but then she thought, would this make people hold a grudge against her?
Did the emperor do this on purpose?
"I have only just entered the palace, so it is probably inappropriate for me to break the rules like this."
The dragon chariot carried everyone towards the Yuxiu Palace. On the way, the emperor would secretly kiss Shen Muxue from time to time, which shocked the palace maids who saw this scene along the way. How could the emperor, who usually seemed indifferent and otherworldly, be so close today?
After hearing the news that the emperor was coming in person, Concubine Xie was so excited that she almost fell off the bed.
It has been so long since I last saw His Majesty, and I hurried out to greet him without even having time to dress up again.
