Chapter 54 Meeting
Chapter 54 Meeting
Everyone in the Pepper Room gathered together to pay their respects to the Queen.
Shen Ningyue was wearing a golden dress with nine dragons and four phoenixes. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with red piping. The twelve-tailed phoenix hairpin on her head made her look elegant and graceful.
Meng Wu Yue looked at the Queen who was just sitting at the top, with thousands of thoughts surging in his heart.
Jealous? Reluctant? Sad?
Have it.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health and good health."
"Everyone get up!"
"Thank you, Queen!"
After kneeling together before the Queen, it was not over yet. Next, the concubines had to pay their respects to the Queen one by one and let the Queen get to know them.
Shen Ningyue looked at the woman at the front of the crowd, who had the brightest and most beautiful appearance. She was wearing a gorgeous red palace dress, and behind her was a little girl of about four or five years old, holding the hem of her skirt tightly in her hands.
She understood that this was Meng Wuyue, who had held the Phoenix Seal for many years since Qin Zhi ascended the throne, and her daughter.
"This must be Concubine Yi and the eldest princess, right? I heard that Concubine Yi is pregnant. Please take a seat!"
"I, your concubine Yifei Meng Wuyue, thank you, Her Majesty the Queen!"
"Ronglu thanks mother!"
Hearing his daughter's childish voice, Meng Wu Yue quickly covered up the sadness in his eyes with a decent smile.
The queen is the mother of all the children in the harem. No matter who gave birth to the prince or princess, they must call her queen mother.
Shen Ningyue pursed her lips quietly. She had just married and had already become the mother of children. Unfortunately, she was the original wife. She didn't know whether to be happy or sigh.
After Meng Wuyue sat down, Shen Ningyue looked at the frail and sickly woman.
Although her face was rosy and her lips were stained with rouge, it could not hide her weakness.
"My concubine Rougui and my concubine Liu Yiren greet the Queen."
"Stand up, why is the eldest prince not here?"
"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. The eldest prince is too young to be carried out. When he is older, I will bring him here for you to see."
"It's okay. I'm sorry for being rude. Please take a seat."
As soon as Liu Yiren took his seat, a woman with a gloomy look stepped forward and introduced herself:
"My concubine Yingpin Li Sisi greets Her Majesty the Queen!"
Without waiting for Shen Ningyue to call her, she walked to her seat and sat down.
Shen Ningyue frowned, looking puzzled.
On the first day the concubines paid their respects to her, some were disrespectful to her. Was they testing her?
Meng Xinghe glanced at Shen Ningyue at the top, and then stole a glance at Yingpin, who had no expression on her face and looked like she was too lazy to say anything. She lowered her eyes and said nothing. She didn't understand why Li Sisi was so inexplicably angry with the new queen. But it was obvious that it was not her turn as a small concubine Hui to come forward among so many people.
After Lady Fu Mengli served the emperor in bed with the emperor, she was named Lady Zhi. She was quiet and inactive, and was upright and unpretentious. She was always cold and aloof, with an air of a fairy from the world, independent and aloof. She turned a blind eye and deaf ear to everything, and even liked to avoid people. She never joined in the disturbances of other concubines.
Meng Xinghe suspected that the beauty might be a social phobia person. Why would a social phobia person enter the palace? She didn't understand.
Could it be that because of her high status, she could enter the palace as a concubine without any reason, and didn't have to marry a man of equal status and work hard as a wife, welcoming guests and handling household chores every day? No way!
Meng Xinghe, who was thinking divergently, unknowingly discovered the truth.
Soon, Meng Wu Yue hurriedly asked Wei Xia beside him to come forward to explain for Yingpin, saying that Yingpin was ill and did not mean to be disrespectful to the queen.
Shen Ningyue didn't say whether she believed it or not, she just put the matter aside for the time being. Regardless of whether it was true or not, now was not the time to care about it. She was busy going back to take a nap!
Next is Lu Xinyin. At the beginning of the year, Lu Xinyin had been promoted to Zhenpin, successfully becoming equal to Yingpin, an old lady in the palace.
"My concubine, Zhenpin Lu Xinyin, greets the Queen! May you be well, sister!"
"Cousin, please stand up! I am too proud to follow His Majesty and call you cousin!"
"Sister Queen, please feel free to call me cousin. I am honored!"
"System, look at these ladies, one by one, they are all so hypocritical. It's so annoying."
"What's the matter? Host, are you jealous?"
"Jealous? Jealous of what? What is there to be jealous of? System, I suspect that you are dissatisfied with me recently. You are maliciously guessing my thoughts every day, and I won't tolerate it!"
"Stop! Stop your clumsy performance! This system will not listen, and this system will not accept your unreasonable doubts. Reject!"
"Tongtong, Li Sisi looks like that, is she depressed? Is she? How pitiful! She will not be retaliated by Shen Ningyue for treating her like this, right? Should we take the initiative to help Yingpin and sterilize the queen?"
"Shen Ningyue is the queen, blessed by the dragon and phoenix spirits. Not only can the system not help you, it even wants to break up with you."
"Stop it! System, I've noticed that you've been threatening me with breaking up recently! It's wrong for you to do this. We can't have a rift in our relationship. Let's not be the best in the world as we swore to be together."
"And I didn't ask you to do it. Last time when Concubine Rou had a difficult delivery, I gave her tonics little by little, so that her fetus could grow healthy and big. You didn't help me at all. Now I'm not asking you to help me. I just feel that we are from the same country. I feel so wronged!"
"A mere concubine is different from the wife of the Son of Destiny. You can't kill the Crown Prince even if you want to. It's because you only targeted Concubine Rou before that you were able to succeed. Forget it. This system means that whoever is responsible should bear the blame. If something goes wrong, you should leave on your own! If you target Shen Ningyue and are discovered by the world consciousness, I can't save you."
