"Then I'll trouble the wet nurse."

Luo Jiaqi nodded and watched without disturbing Grandma Zhang, letting her make changes to Concubine Xian's clothes.

When Concubine Xian listened to Luo Jiaqi's words, her face turned pale. She really didn't understand why someone would use such covert means to frame her.

At this time, she was not afraid that Aunt Zhang would alter the clothes, and allowed Aunt Zhang to "tamper" with the palace attire.

…

Without making the palace people outside wait too long, which was just the time it took for a stick of incense to be burned, Luo Jiaqi and Concubine Xian walked out of the room.

It looked like nothing happened.

"let's go."

There was no need for Luo Jiaqi to explain to these servants why they suddenly left. He waved his hand and headed towards the palace gate with Concubine Xian.

Xiao Cui, who was beside Bi Luo, looked at Concubine Xian, but didn't find anything strange. She was relieved, it seemed that she was worrying too much.

When they arrived at the palace gate, there were already many concubines waiting here, but Luo Jiaqi and the others were not too late because the emperor and Princess Anping had not arrived yet.

"Sister Concubine Xian."

Concubine Chen had already arrived with Concubine Qi and the others, but she held Luo Dieyi and stood aside without speaking.

At this time, seeing Concubine Xian and Luo Jiaqi arriving, they greeted them with a happy smile on their faces.

"Sister Chen came so early."

With a gentle smile on her face, Concubine Xian stepped forward and pulled Chen Bin, and the two began to chat about something intimate.

Luo Jiaqi, on the other hand, pulled Luo Dieyi:

"Sister Thirteen, how are you doing lately?"

As he said this, he looked at Luo Jinxiu beside Concubine Qi, intentionally or unintentionally.

Yes, in order to welcome the Queen Mother, Luo Jinxiu and the others returned to the palace early, but Luo Jiaqi could not protect Luo Dieyi all the time, so she wanted to know if Luo Jinxiu had made things difficult for Luo Dieyi these days.

Luo Dieyi shook his head:

"Sister Lao, thank you for your trouble. Sister Eight has not made things difficult for me these days."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Luo Jiaqi breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that she didn't like Luo Jinxiu, and he was also a real snake-hearted person.

"The Emperor has arrived~

The Queen has arrived~

Princess Anping has arrived~"

Just when the concubines were gathering and chatting in front of the palace gate, Wei Changting's voice came over,

All the concubines, princes and princesses stood up according to their status and saluted:

"Concubine/concubine/son, please see your Majesty, the Queen,

Long live my emperor, long live the emperor,

The Queen is a thousand years old!"

The arrival of the Emperor and others proved that the Queen Mother was coming back soon.

"Plain body."

Emperor Xixia waved, looked at the people in front of the palace gate, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Sister Liu."

After the emperor excused herself from the ceremony, Princess Anping stepped forward and held Concubine Xian's hand. Because of what happened last time, she had a great affection for Concubine Xian.

And she also deliberately hopes to make Concubine Xian favored.

"How are you doing, princess?"

Concubine Xian smiled gently and was not frightened by so many pairs of eyes around her. She might have been frightened before, but as her level improved, she gradually accepted this feeling.

Regarding Concubine Xian's performance, Emperor Xixia flashed a flash of appreciation in his eyes and nodded.

The queen's eyes were also full of joy. She was very happy that people in her faction could be valued by the emperor.

Concubine Qi's expression was a little unnatural, and even the handkerchief in her hand was almost crushed by her, but...

Humph, Liu Shuning, it won’t take long for me to make you proud! Let you know that in this harem, you will never be able to defeat me, and you will always be at my feet!

Thinking of these fiercely in her heart, Concubine Qi's complexion improved a lot.

At this moment, the sound of silk and bamboo was heard from a distance, and everyone knew that it was the arrival of the Queen Mother's honor guard.

So everyone consciously found their place and stood still. When the Queen Mother's sedan stopped in front of the palace gate, they saluted along with the emperor:

"Welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace!"

The sedan chair was gently put down, and a person dressed as a palace maid stepped forward and lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

Then, a hand that was a little loose but clearly well-maintained stretched out, and then the Queen Mother was seen slowly walking out of the sedan.

The Queen Mother is now almost sixty, but because she has been well cared for, she still looks like she is in her forties.

Luo Jiaqi quietly raised his head from behind and looked secretly at the so-called imperial grandmother.

Maybe it was because she had been worshiping Buddha all year round, so the Queen Mother looked very kind, but Luo Jiaqi would not think that the Queen Mother was a talkative person just because of this.

After all, how many people can survive in the harem, a place where people eat people without spitting out their bones, and win in the end? How many of them are good people?

Moreover, Luo Jiaqi could detect an imperceptible majesty deep in the Queen Mother's eyes, and was even more convinced that the Queen Mother was definitely not the kind old lady she appeared to be.

"Haha, Emperor, the Yi family has come back, so you have to worry about it."

With the support of the eldest palace maid, the Queen Mother walked up to Emperor Xixia, helped him up with a kind face, and spoke with a smile.

"What the Queen Mother said is wrong. Coming to greet the Queen Mother is what a son should do."

Emperor Xixia also smiled heartily and spoke.

"Mother, you are too partial. My sons and ministers are all being ignored here."

Princess Anping on the side seemed very unhappy that she had not been discovered. She pouted and acted like a little girl.

Princess Anping is the youngest daughter of the Queen Mother, so she has been very favored since she was a child. Even now, she can still act coquettishly towards the Queen Mother without restraint.

"Aren't you happy yet? Haha, come Anping and let your mother take a good look at you.

Is the grandson in your belly obedient?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and waved to Princess Anping, and she also knew that Princess Anping was pregnant, so she smiled even more amiably.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, you are very obedient."

Stepping forward to take the position of the eldest palace maid, Princess Anping smiled like an ordinary child.

She nodded happily, and then saw the Queen Mother looking at the concubines behind the emperor.

After receiving the Queen Mother's gaze, all the concubines could hardly help but stand up straight, but they also lowered their heads and did not dare to express themselves too much.

Seeing that a concubine knew the etiquette very well, the Queen Mother glanced around the princes and princesses again, feeling even more satisfied.

"Since the mother and queen are back, we don't need to spend too much time outside.

I have ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare the food, let’s go back to the palace.”

Emperor Xixia saw that it was getting late, so he suggested.

The Queen Mother nodded, still not refusing, so a large group of people, including the Emperor, Queen, Queen Mother, Princess Anping, and Concubine Qi walked towards the prepared sedan chair.

The other concubines just wanted to go back on foot.

"Hey, Sister Xianfei, why don't your clothes look right?"
