Chapter 11 Lower Mawei
As time goes by, the weather in the imperial capital is getting warmer and warmer.
In the middle of spring, all industries are prosperous.
Three days later, it will be the birthday of Beichen Yeli.
The emperor's birthday is celebrated all over the world, especially the Dayu Kingdom, which has been governed by several generations of emperors. Now it is a peaceful and prosperous era. The people live and work in peace and contentment in all directions. Naturally, the imperial capital is also an image of prosperity.
Beichenye left for his birthday, but Hu Yimeng didn't know what to give him. After all, Beichen Yeli was the emperor of the Dayu Kingdom. He didn't want anything, so Hu Yimeng was very entangled.
In modern times, a woman can give her lover a belt, tie, lighter, etc. What does she want to give him here?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Hu Yimeng's mind. It's better to send Beichenye to leave a belt.
Of course, she will never admit that it is too difficult for her to make other sachets, clothes, shoes and other things besides belts...
After making up his mind, Hu Yimeng entered the space of the bracelet and searched on the shelf full of various magic weapons and spiritual stones. After a while, she chose a brown earth-based spiritual stone with strong defense, and a few smaller water spiritual stones with therapeutic effect, and Hu Yimeng came out of the space.
"Yuefu, Yuefu!" Hu Yimeng called Yuefu and asked with a smile, "Yuefu, your female red should be good, right?"
"If you go back to the mother, Yuefu's female red is not bad." Yue Fu didn't know why Hu Yimeng suddenly asked how her female red was, so she answered modestly.
"It's okay, it's okay." Hu Yimeng nodded with satisfaction, "So, Yuefu, teach me how to make a belt."
She happily pulled Yuefu to get busy, choosing cloth, silk thread, learning needles, and cutting...
Hu Yimeng is very busy.
At this time, the little eunuch in Changle Palace rushed into the hall and reported to Hu Yimeng: "Empress, the Empress Dowager sent someone to send a message."
"Oh?" Hu Yimeng put down her work, raised her head and said to the little eunuch, "Let him come in."
"I obeyed."
After a while, the little eunuch led the eunuch sent by the empress to send a message.
The eunuch entered the hall, saluted Hu Yimeng and said, "Empress Concubine Hui, the Empress Dowager, please go to Cining Palace."
"What is the so-called thing for the Empress Dowager to go to Cining Palace?" Hu Yimeng asked.
"I don't know. The slave only sent a message on the will of the Empress Dowager. Presumably, when the Empress Dowager went to the Cining Palace, she knew what the Empress Dowager asked you to go. The eunuch who came to send the message said.
"Well, I know that Xingyan and Yuefu served this palace to change their clothes and go to Cining Palace to visit the Empress Dowager. Pheasant, reward this father-in-law for me.
"Yes, the maidservant obeyed."
Xingyan and Yuefu accompanied Hu Yimeng to change clothes, and the pheasant rewarded the father-in-law who came to send a message according to Hu Yimeng's instructions.
After packing up, the group set out for Cining Palace.
Hu Yimeng took Xingyan and Yuefu to Cining Palace.
The little eunuch guarding outside the palace gate led three people in. At this time, the Empress Dowager was sitting on the soft couch in the inner room drinking tea and holding Shufei's hand.
I heard the eunuch outside the door informing that Huifei had arrived.
Concubine Shu wanted to get up, but the Empress Dowager didn't seem to hear the little eunuch's announcement. She winned at Concubine Shu and comforted Concubine Shu, who was about to get up. The two were still talking and laughing.
Hu Yimeng entered the room, but saw that the Empress Dowager and Shufei didn't seem to see him. She put herself aside and couldn't help but be stunned, but soon her look returned as before.
She had a light smile on her face, but it was clear in her heart that the Empress Dowager was going to find her own fault this time to embarrass herself.
Isn't it to avenge Shufei's favoritism from Beichen Yeli in the imperial study last time? Hu Yimeng's thoughts turned back a thousand times, but there was not a trace on his face.
Since the Empress Dowager deliberately snolded her, it would be better for her to take the initiative.
"My concubine met the empress dowager, and my concubine said hi to the empress dowager. The empress dowager is a thousand years old." Hu Yimeng Yili saluted the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager seemed to realize that Hu Yimeng was coming. She turned her face, nodded coldly to Hu Yimeng and said, "Well, it's coming. Don't stand, sit down."
Hu Yimeng glanced at the room. The Empress Dowager took Shufei's hand and sat on the soft couch of the main position, with four big pear blossom chairs on each side.
Hu Yimeng looked at Shufei sitting in the main seat with the empress dowager. She didn't say anything. She took a few steps forward and sat down on the first chair on the right side of the empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager let go of Concubine Shu's hand, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said after a long time, "The mourning family ordered someone to call Huifei to come today to ask about the habits of Huifei's habit of living in Changle Palace?"
"If you go back to the Empress Dowager's words, the concubine's habit of living in Changle Palace." Hu Yimeng didn't know what medicine she bought in the Empress Dowager's gourd, so she had to wait for the Empress Dowager to ask a question, and then answered conservatively.
"I heard that Changle Palace is quite far away from Ganquan Palace. I'm afraid there are many inconveniences when I move to such a place all of a sudden, right?" The Empress Dowager looked at Hu Yimeng, with a light elegance on her well-maintained face.
"Most of my concubines usually read and be female celebrities in the palace. They have never gone out. There are subordinates to do errands, so there is no inconvenience." Hu Yimeng replied.
"Concubine Hui has never been out and doesn't know the pain of a long trip, but the emperor has to deal with government affairs and run to Changle Palace every day. It's really too hard. Concubine Hui should be more considerate." The Empress Dowager has already pointed out.
Hu Yimeng naturally heard the voice of the Empress Dowager.
She began to play Tai Chi with the Empress Dowager without a trace.
"What the Empress Dowager said was that the emperor really worked too hard."
"Princess Hui, now that you and Shufei are the head of the harem, you should think more about the emperor. You must not be tired of the emperor for your own self-interest." The Empress Dowager continued.
"I remember the teachings of the Empress Dowager." Hu Yimeng continued to play Tai Chi.
"The most taboo thing in this harem is to dominate the emperor's favor. You should know that the emperor's favor has never been unchanged for a long time, and only rain and dew are the long-term solution. If you go your own way and fall out of favor at that time, there will only be people who fall into the well, and there will be no one to help you talk. That's the truth.
"My concubine understands the meaning of the Empress Dowager." Hu Yimeng looked at the Empress Dowager and nodded.
"You can understand that your family will be worry-free. The emperor is staying in your palace this month, and it's time for you to let the rest of the harem get wet. The Empress Dowager no longer played Taiji with Hu Yimeng and directly said her purpose.
"The Empress Dowager has not all stayed in the palace of her concubines this month." Hu Yimeng looked at the Empress Dowager with a smile and said, "On the third and fourth day of this month, the emperor was busy with government affairs and stayed in Ganquan Palace. Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month. The emperor only stayed in the concubine's palace for two days this month."
