Huang Mei waited quietly until Concubine Wei Shu and the Queen had finished speaking.
"Back to the Queen Mother, I can't make the decision in this matter. I need the Queen Mother to nod. After all, An Xiaoshan is the Queen Mother's Taoist Immortality Boxing master."
Huang Mei spoke respectfully to Concubine Huang Shu, her fat face was very dull and expressionless.
"What? Huang Mei, are you teasing me? How can he, a slave, be the master of the Queen Mother?" Wei Shufei said in disbelief. Big eyes looked at An Xiaoshan in great surprise.
"What master? Huang Mei, what are you talking about?"
The queen also looked at An Xiaoshan in surprise. At this time, the concubines in the Sixth Palace looked at An Xiaoshan and Concubine Lan in surprise.
"Your Majesty, you have to ask the Queen Mother about this yourself. I don't dare to talk nonsense." Huang Mei replied very politely but coldly.
The queen almost choked to death and could only look at Concubine Lan and An Xiaoshan angrily.
An Xiaoshan raised his head proudly and gave the queen a look that said she didn't understand anything.
"The time has come. Please hurry in, Concubine Lan. Don't keep the Queen Mother waiting." Huang Mei said and stepped aside. Concubine Lan and An Xiaoshan walked into the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests without looking back.
Although Concubine Wei Shu and the Queen were angry, there was nothing they could do. The Queen Mother didn't say anything and they had to wait.
Thinking of An Xiaoshan's look that meant he could be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts, the queen's fists were shaking under her sleeves. The nails pricked the palms of my hands.
The six palace fans who competed for beauty were quiet, and they didn't dare to express their anger. The queen's face was so ugly.
Concubine Wei Shu was trembling in anger, her big eyes were blank, the Queen's hands in her sleeves were tightly held, and her whole body was trembling imperceptibly.
Huang Mei bent down and bowed, then closed the door of the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests with a bang.
The Queen and Sixth Palace Fendai were all locked out of the door, and their eyes were cut off.
"How come Concubine Lan and that servant can go in first? Why do we have to wait here? What does the Queen Mother mean, leave or wait?"
Wei Shufei gnashed her teeth anxiously, like an angry kitten.
"Shut up, me."
The queen's voice was as cold as the ice of the twelfth lunar month. Concubine Wei Shu was trembling with fright and immediately became honest, but she stood behind the queen with a look of disdain on her face.
The Queen's cold face felt hot and uncomfortable, and felt extremely heavy. It seemed like ten thousand pounds of humiliation hung on it.
She felt like her face had been slapped a hundred times in front of Liu Gong, but she didn't dare to say a word.
After more than half an hour, the queen felt as if she had been tortured for ten thousand years. The door to the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests finally opened.
Only then did Sixth Palace Fendai put away her clothes, check her appearance, and followed the queen solemnly and majestically into the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests.
When we arrived at the main hall, we saw another incredible scene.
The Queen Mother was wiping her sweat while being served by Huang Mei, but the old man was wearing the same clothes as An Xiaoshan and Concubine Lan.
The Queen and Wei Shufei trembled in courage, recalling that they had said something about their clothes and appearance at the door. Every word I spoke was exaggerated, and I couldn't help but deeply regret it.
Didn’t even the Queen Mother scold her?
However, those who were interested discovered that the Queen Mother's face and mental state were much better, and she was even a little younger than before.
It is etiquette to visit the Queen Mother on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, rising to the level of national filial piety, so these harem concubines must be cautious.
After the process of kneeling down and saying hello was completed, the Queen wanted to go up and get close to the Queen Mother. This is also a normal and inevitable process. Her he represents the sixth house to care about the mother-in-law's health.
"The Queen Mother has become much healthier recently. She is truly blessed by the Sixth Palace and the whole world." The Queen spoke words of blessing and praised the Queen Mother.
She had said this to the Queen Mother in the past and listened to her like this. After saying this, the Queen Mother replied with a few heartwarming words, wishing her to continue to manage the harem well and that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be peaceful.
But the Queen Mother is in a very bad mood today. I didn't think these people were so hypocritical before, but today I feel uncomfortable seeing them.
My heart said, I am in good health, that is the credit of Lan Yatou. Each of you usually avoids me. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, you come to my place and burn incense and then leave. One by one, which one of you is sincere?
"Okay! Okay! There's no need to say anything about blessing the world. It's better to live a few more years. Today, Miss Lan will stay with me to have dinner. You all can go away."
The Queen Mother perfunctorily dismissed everyone with a wave of her hand.
The queen tried hard to maintain a spring-like smile on her face, spoke humble and gentle words, and retreated slowly, intending to turn around and walk out.
"Concubine Shu..." Just when she was about to turn around, the Queen Mother suddenly spoke.
The queen and other concubines were also stunned, and Concubine Wei Shu quickly ran out from behind the queen.
"Your Majesty, please..." Concubine Wei Shu said softly and softly, with flowers blooming on her face. She was thinking, "Does the Queen Mother also want to let me have dinner?"
Passing by the queen's position, I took a proud look and felt so proud that I wanted to fly.
It's a pity that the Queen Mother sent her to the eighteenth level of hell with just one word.
"Is this outfit of mine exaggerated?" the Queen Mother asked coldly.
Concubine Wei Shu almost fell to the ground with a somersault. The Queen lowered her eyebrows but her heart was filled with turmoil. Did the Queen Mother actually know?
"The Queen Mother... The Queen Mother... What are you talking about? The Queen Mother wears this outfit, she looks like a fairy and is full of energy..." Wei Shufei spoke out the words as hard as she could. It's a pity that my breasts are too big and my brain is not enough.
"Okay, the emperor isn't here with me, so who can show me this fancy show? From now on, you can wear plain clothes when you come to my place. Let's go... I look dizzy..."
The Queen Mother said ruthlessly.
The queen left the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests without saying a word. Concubine Wei Shu almost collapsed on the ground as soon as she walked out of the door.
Everyone left, but Concubine Lan and An Xiaoshan stayed.
The queen got on Fenghu and saw the two eunuchs next to her still squatting at the door. One is vomiting blood, and the other is also vomiting blood.
The queen didn't even look at the two losers. She felt that the Palace of Prayer for Good Harvests was like the Palace of Hell with its mouth open behind her, blowing out the cold air. But she held her ground and didn't urge her to move quickly.
The Queen Mother dismissed these hypocritical Yingying Yanyan, and she took her to have breakfast together because she liked Concubine Lan.
The kitchen of the Youth Palace has become An Xiaoshan's second battle station. Today he prepared shredded chicken and vegetable porridge for the Queen Mother. Various small pickles.
There are also drawers of small steamed buns, siomai and shrimp dumplings. There were so many varieties that the old Queen Mother was so happy that she couldn't see anything and had a big appetite.
I am used to eating delicacies from mountains and seas, big fish and meat, and I have no resistance to these fresh, light and appetizing things.
An Xiaoshan and Huang Mei were squatting at the door of the kitchen, each with a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge in front of them, holding a large pancake rolled with beef in their hands, making a fuss.
An Xiaoshan was very sociable, and he and Huang Mei soon became familiar with each other.
"I said Brother Huang, it's not a big deal that the Queen wants to kill me. The Sixth Palace is her world, and sooner or later it will fall into her hands. Give me a move, what should I do?"
An Xiaoshan took a sip of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, picked out a piece of salty radish from the plate next to him, and ate it.
It seems that all the melancholy is eaten up by pickles.
"You are just an idiot. The amulet has always been on you. Is it necessary to follow two losers this morning?"
Huang Mei shook her big face, swallowed a mouthful of big cake and rolled roast pork and said.
"You're just kidding me. I don't have an amulet on me. I have..." An Xiaoshan suddenly remembered that he got a waist badge after saving the little princess last time.
"You are talking about this waist badge. If I had known it was so useful, why would I hide it? I don't wear it on my forehead."
An Xiaoshan took out the ivory waistband from his arms.
"Who can you blame for your stupidity? You don't even know how many of the slaves in the palace are worthy of the ivory waistband! If you put this waistband on your body, the emperor will have to ask the Queen Mother first if he wants to kill you." Huang Mei said.
"Oh my God, does this work? I should have known I was hanging on my neck." An Xiaoshan rubbed his belt on his chest excitedly.
The queen returned to her palace, asked Du Juan to close the door, and then started breaking things. She was graceful, generous, elegant, indescribably noble, and a mother to the world, all of which were forgotten at this moment.
After so many years, no one could give her such humiliation. So much so that the self-restraint she had cultivated for so many years could not be resolved.
After losing her temper, she finally calmed down, and Dujuan quickly asked someone to pick up the mess.
"Queen, will you deliver meals to the Queen Mother at noon?" Du Juan asked in a low voice.
"Send it, how can you not send it? I am the Lord of the Sixth Palace, so I must set an example. Tell the Imperial Kitchen Room that Zhilan Palace will treat you well."
The queen said with a sneer on her lips. The Queen Mother's attitude made her aware of the threat.
"Okay, slave, let's go now." Du Juan said.
"Wait a minute, is that ungrateful little eunuch still an eyesore?" the queen said coldly.
"My slave understands," Du Juan said.
An Xiaoshan and Concubine Lan played with the Queen Mother for a while and then returned to Zhilan Palace. Not only were they going to greet the Queen Mother in the morning, but they also had to deliver a filial lunch to the Queen Mother at noon.
This is also a ceremonial thing. In the past, the queen and her concubines would each bring a dish to the queen mother to show her filial piety.
The Queen Mother originally didn't want Concubine Lan to prepare it, but every time she brought so many dishes, she just took a look at them. If she really wanted to eat, she really didn't have the appetite.
It's just a few symbolic bites, bragging about this and that, and it's just an errand.
But Concubine Lan didn't dare to ignore her. She almost had an accident in the morning, and someone was going to stir up trouble again at noon.
But when I returned to Zhilan Palace, I saw that it was already too late. The food given to Zhilan Palace by the imperial kitchen today was even worse than when no money was given.
The meat was rotten, the vegetables were dry, and the fish and shrimp were dead and smelly. Not to mention cooking it for the Queen Mother, the palace maids wouldn't eat it either.
Not to mention the precious ingredients from mountains and seas, not even ordinary ingredients were given.
Just some left over from yesterday. Ingredients for cooking for palace maids and eunuchs.
"It's too late to go find the imperial kitchen now! What should I do with the Queen Mother's lunch?" Daukou said with a sad face.
Concubine Lan was also anxious. If she had known this, she should have followed the Queen Mother's lead. If she refused to give it away, she would not give it away. Now it is like shooting herself in the foot.
He couldn't help but look at An Xiaoshan with his big eyes as if asking for help.
"It doesn't matter, cold salad!" An Xiaoshan said with a sneer.
