He told惢心 to inform everyone, and then he got on the sedan chair first.

There were no sedan chairs for concubines and above, so except for Qingying and Gao Xiyue, everyone else had to rely on their own two legs to enter the palace this time.

The sedan chair was lifted steadily. Fu Cha Zhu Ying in the back stared at the two sedan chairs for a long time without moving.

Seeing that everyone had already moved, Qi Xin couldn't help but gently touch Fu Cha Zhu Ying and said, "My lady, it's time for us to go in."

Fu Cha Zhu Ying finally reacted.

He responded empty-handedly and followed the crowd.

We got up too early today, the sedan chair was shaking so much that Qingying almost fell asleep.

Fortunately, Yongji was very energetic, even a little noisy, so Qingying didn't fall asleep.

After a while, there was a slight sound and the sedan chair landed steadily on the ground.

The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, but it was not Xiuxia who appeared.

Jianqiu stretched out her hand, "My Lady, please go slower."

"Jianqiu?"

Qingying asked in confusion, but did not hesitate.

After stepping out of the sedan chair, Jianqiu smiled again and said, "Your Highness, Jingren Palace is the Empress Dowager's former residence. The Empress Dowager said that Your Highness had just entered the palace and things were complicated, so she asked me to stay by your side for the next few days."

Qingying smiled and nodded when she heard this, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt."

"Your Highness, please don't be polite. The Queen Mother said that the matter of Jingren Palace must be sorted out by me. The Queen Mother is already waiting for our eldest prince. Your Highness, please take a rest and go to Shoukang Palace."

After a few jokes, Qingying stepped into the main hall.

In the past, the Empress Dowager always sat at the head of the table.

Today, with its changed identity, the Jingren Palace seems to be different from before.

With Jianqiu around, everything in Jingren Palace had already been handled, so Qingying naturally didn't have to worry about it too much.

Less than half an hour later,惢心 came to report that the concubines had all arrived at Jingren Palace. Qingying then asked the wet nurse to hold Yongqi and led everyone to Shoukang Palace.

Jianqiu stayed in Jingren Palace temporarily, and the one who greeted everyone outside Shoukang Palace became Huichun.

The group entered Shoukang Palace.

I was worried that too many people would come in at once and disturb the empress dowager's peace.

Qingying asked everyone to wait for a while and went into the main hall first.

But as soon as I entered the door, I was surprised.

But for some reason, in addition to the empress dowager, several concubines from Shoukang Palace were also present today.

The Empress Dowager is in the main seat, with Consort Jing and Concubine Xin on her left.

On the right are Concubine Duan and Concubine An.

Almost all of them were the main seats in the palace when the previous emperor was alive.

There was another person who made Qingying suspicious.

Shen Meizhuang.

She didn't die either.

Qingying was surprised that the Queen Mother could spare the other person's life.

Putting aside her chaotic thoughts, Qingying lowered her head slightly, walked to the Queen Mother, knelt down and said, "Your concubine greets the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be blessed with good health. I also meet the other concubines."

"You're here early today, get up."

"Thank you, Queen Mother."

"Bring Yongji to me, Huichun, and give the imperial concubine a seat."

After Qingying sat down, the Queen Mother held Yongji in her arms before speaking again, "It's a chilly morning, and the concubines can't stand outside for too long. Huichun, let everyone in."

With the Queen Mother's approval, the concubines from all the palaces, led by Concubine Hui, entered the palace one by one.

Although the Shoukang Palace is not small, it is a bit crowded with so many people coming in at once.

But there are strict rules in the palace, so naturally no one dares to say too much in private.

After watching everyone perform the formalities, the Empress Dowager finally spoke again, "Today is the first day since the Emperor ascended the throne that you have come to Shoukang Palace to pay your respects. You all look very bright and cheerful, so I don't think you have any ulterior motives."

"I don't have so many rules. You don't have to come every day to visit me every morning and evening. Just remember that as a concubine, your job is to give birth to the emperor's children. Live a peaceful life and don't worry about anything else."

Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down again and said, "Your servants/concubines will obey the Queen Mother's instructions."

The Queen Mother then waved her hand again and said, "Forget it, everyone, get up. It just so happens that you are all here today, and I have something to tell you."

After saying this, he looked at Concubine Jing and said, "Concubine Jing is an old woman from when the late emperor was still in the palace. Why don't you tell me about this matter?"
