"It's enough that you two are here to meet me now, and it also completes the fate between us."
Queen Lu shook her head: "I have no intention of interfering in palace affairs, and I don't want others to disturb the peace, so I just want everything to be as normal as it is."
Concubine An and Concubine Xie meekly bowed their heads in agreement, but felt a little unconcerned in their hearts.
The palace affairs in their hands were originally arranged by the emperor, so even if Queen Lu opened the door of Anyuan Palace herself, they could not return the palace affairs without authorization.
"Don't feel embarrassed, just think of it as the favor that I have earned! If one day an emperor's mother appears among you, I will have to live under your hands!"
After Queen Lu said this with a chuckle, Concubine An and Concubine Xie's expressions changed at the same time.
The two of them raised their eyes and looked over at the same time, only to see Queen Lu blinking at them narrowly: "..."
Although they knew that Empress Lu had the intention to provoke, they still pretended to be frightened: "My Majesty, please don't make fun of me. Your Majesty and your Majesty will make arrangements for the Crown Prince's affairs. How can I, my concubine, be so virtuous as to dare to hope?"
Queen Lu seemed to have just said it casually. Seeing their huge reaction, she smiled clearly: "I am just joking, why should the two noble concubines be nervous?"
After saying this, without waiting for Concubine An and Guifei to reply, they started talking about the beautiful scenery outside the palace.
"I have a village in the suburbs of Beijing. It was given by the late emperor before we got married. Before the emperor came to the throne, I often went there to enjoy the scenery. Unfortunately, I have never been there since I entered the palace!"
"My original home was in the east city of Kyoto. After the family, the young and old, were exiled from the capital, the place became vacant. Later, the late emperor gave the house to me. Unfortunately, the Lu family has long since disappeared, and I have no sons and a half daughters. , I just thought about selling it to a good family, so that it would live up to such a good house. But I didn’t expect that no one cared about it, and no one informed me of the reason. If I can accompany you this time, before I leave Beijing You must go and have a look.”
"I and Qian'er only need a few, but there are only two who can be brought out of the palace, so I thought of letting them leave the palace first to help me deal with the manor and property... You two noble concubines, please remember this later. Let it go!”
During this half, Empress Lu was basically talking, while Concubine An and Concubine Xie listened quietly.
It wasn't until it was getting late and Concubine An and Concubine Xie stood up to say goodbye that Queen Lu put down the tea bowl and asked her mother to see them off.
As soon as Concubine An and Concubine Xie stepped out of Anyuan Palace, their steps were much faster than usual. When they turned out of An Luan Palace's sight, the two of them walked even more smoothly.
The look of escaping was indescribably interesting when viewed from a distance.
When Concubine An and Concubine Xie left separately, they held each other's hands and saw happiness in each other's eyes.
…
When Concubine An returned to Huaning Palace, Emperor Jinghe was already resting on the couch.
"You're back?!" Upon hearing the noise, Emperor Jinghe opened his eyes and looked jokingly at Concubine An, who was about to change back into her regular clothes.
"Your Majesty, you don't want to make fun of Sister Xie, but you come here to have fun with your concubine?"
Concubine An sat across from Emperor Jinghe, leaning on the pillow and letting out a sigh of relief.
When Emperor Jinghe heard this, he was just about to say a few words about Empress Lu's entourage, when Zheng An hurriedly came to report that it was Concubine Jing and Concubine Chun who knocked out the Queen Mother in Cining Palace.
"What?!" Emperor Jinghe was shocked when he heard this. He didn't even bother to say hello to Concubine An. He stood up in a hurry and ran towards Cining Palace with his people.
