Chapter forty-seven under the tree to enjoy the shade
"The Queen has arrived!~"
Not long after, the queen's phoenix chariot stopped in front of the gate of Qinghe Palace. She didn't wait for Concubine Xian and others to come out to greet her, and walked directly in with a smile.
"I heard that today is the birthday of the eleventh princess, and I am here to congratulate you. Sister Xianfei, you won't welcome it...
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty,
I, my concubine, see the Emperor and the Queen Mother,
Your Majesty, Queen Mother Jin An."
As soon as she walked to the main hall, before she could walk in, the queen smiled and started talking.
However, as soon as she reached the main hall, the queen met the Western Xia Emperor's gaze. Her face was immediately filled with surprise, and she bowed in a panic.
With this series of actions, those who don't know may really think that the queen came specially to celebrate Luo Jiaqi's birthday.
"I, my concubine, see the queen,
Your Majesty, you just said something serious, it is our honor for you to come to us on this wonderful birthday."
Although Concubine Xian was standing next to the emperor at this time, she still bowed politely and said at the same time.
"Queen, you are here too."
Emperor Xixia was still a little surprised by the arrival of the queen, but later he thought that as the mother of a country, the birthdays of other princes and princesses were considered normal.
"Concubine Qi has arrived!~"
However, before the queen could say a word to Emperor Xixia, the eunuch's summons sounded outside the palace door again.
Hearing this, Luo Jiaqi's eyes flashed, what is Concubine Qi doing here at this time?
"Sister Concubine Xian, you are really not generous. Today is Princess Eleven's birthday, but you are so secretive about it.
When I find out about it, I won’t be able to send people to give gifts directly. Instead, I will bring the gifts myself...
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen Mother,
Your Majesty, Queen Mother Jin An."
Concubine Qi also arrived before anyone else arrived, but her words seemed to move the crowd.
What happened after that was similar to the queen's reaction, they all saluted hurriedly.
"The imperial concubine is exempt from gifts."
When he became aware of Concubine Qi, Emperor Xixia was no longer surprised by the arrival of Concubine Qi compared to the arrival of Queen Cai just now.
Because Concubine Qi had already explained the reason before she came in, right?
But compared to the emperor's simple thoughts, the Queen Mother and Princess Anping couldn't help but look at each other.
They know more about the harem than Emperor Xixia. Isn't this Concubine Qi at odds with Concubine Xian? Why is she here?
However, although they were confused in their hearts, neither of them spoke. They just watched quietly and wanted to know what tricks they would play.
Then everyone arranged their seats according to their own rank, and then started chatting.
But not long after, there were reports from the palace that concubines were coming to give gifts, and they continued uninterruptedly.
From the Emperor of Xixia, the Empress Dowager and the others, the news about the Qinghe Palace spread to various palaces, and the Qinghe Palace was filled almost immediately.
Even the little masters came here after hearing the news, just to impress the emperor more deeply. Maybe they would fly on the branches and become phoenixes because of this time?
Seeing this scene, Concubine Qi, who had already arrived, had a flash of pride in her eyes. Now that so many people are here,
Even if the protagonist today is Luo Jiaqi, it is enough to have so many people distract the emperor.
But Concubine Qi seems to have forgotten one thing. Not only the emperor is here today, but also the Queen Mother and Princess Anping are here. This determines that today's farce cannot go on.
Originally, Luo Jiaqi felt uncomfortable because the Qinghe Palace suddenly became crowded with so many unimportant people.
But when she turned around and found that the faces of the Queen Mother and Princess Anping were not very good, her frown suddenly relaxed.
"emperor,"
Sure enough, before those concubines who wanted to be familiar with each other had finished the process, the Queen Mother suddenly spoke.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Seeing that the Queen Mother's expression was not very good at this time, Emperor Xixia felt anxious and asked quickly.
"Huh, what's wrong?
Today is a lucky birthday, and it is not a big day. Fortunately, these concubines are eager to send blessings one by one.
I don’t know, do you think it’s your birthday, the emperor?”
On the surface, these words were meant for the Xixia Emperor, but the concubines who heard this all turned pale.
They are not fools, and they naturally know that they are too anxious to show off this time and have made the Queen Mother unhappy.
"That's right, Brother Huang, I was very happy at first, but suddenly there were so many people in the hall, and I felt like I couldn't breathe easily."
Princess Anping also talked along with her. As she spoke, she did not forget to touch her chest with her hand, as if she felt very uncomfortable.
After all, Princess Anping is a pregnant woman at this time, so it is normal to have some uncomfortable reactions, but if she feels uncomfortable because of the large number of people... then all the concubines in the hall will be punished.
Especially those talented people with low status, nobles, etc., they are on the verge of collapse at this time, but since they have already entered this hall, it is not easy to just turn around and leave. It can be said that they are in a dilemma.
Those who had not yet entered the hall could not help but tremble in their hearts, and they did not dare to make the first move at this time, so they hurriedly left their gifts and left.
After the Queen Mother and Princess Anping said this, Emperor Xixia suddenly felt that I was feeling bored at this time, so he waved his hand:
"Today is Princess Eleven's birthday. I believe Princess Eleven already knows about your good intentions. Now everyone can leave."
With the emperor's pardon, the concubines in the hall immediately dispersed like birds and beasts and left.
The queen looked at the current situation and suddenly stood up with a smile:
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and my concubine have conveyed their feelings and will not stay any longer. They will leave first.
Sister Xianfei, please don’t bear any grudge against your sister. Happy birthday, Xiao Shiyi.”
After saying that, he left without looking back.
The Queen's sudden appearance made Concubine Qi unable to understand what she meant. Instead, she felt that the other party was a bit stupid for leaving such a good opportunity.
"Concubine Qi, if nothing happens, you can leave first."
But before Concubine Qi could finish laughing at the Queen in her heart, she heard the Queen Mother's lukewarm voice.
Her expression was not very good at this time, and she obviously felt that Concubine Qi was too expressionless at this time.
Unexpectedly, she would be disgusted by the Queen Mother. Concubine Qi's face turned pale and she did not dare to stay here any longer. She quickly saluted:
"The Queen Mother is right, I will retire first."
After saying that, he hurriedly left...
Seeing Concubine Qi's rare embarrassment, Luo Jiaqi couldn't help but want to laugh, and at the same time couldn't help but sigh in her heart:
Chapter completed!
