Chapter 978 Forgive My Courtiers and Concubines for Being Stupid, I Don't Know How to Please the Emperor

Concubine Qi loves to figure out people's thoughts the most.

My heart said who made the Queen Mother and Zhuang Guiren have the surname Wu Ya.

Maybe there is some secret to fighting for favor that I want to pass on exclusively to Zhuang Guiren.

Mrs. Zhuang Gui herself did not seem to have thought that the Queen Mother would invite her to drink tea.

She, who was about to leave, sat down again cautiously.

After all the people in the harem had left, she said embarrassingly: "The queen mother has kept her concubines, but do you have something to explain?"

"It's not that Aijia wants to tell you, but you, Ama, tell Aijia to urge you to hold on tight."

It turned out that she didn't want to take care of the harem anymore.

But when her mother's family came to talk, she had to help.

After all, she is also the niece of the family, and she was born in the Wuya family. If she can help, she should help.

At this moment, the Empress Dowager looked at this niece and wondered why she had been so tepid and had no heirs for so many years.

"It's because the concubine is not good enough, she didn't get into the emperor's eyes, and made her parents and the queen mother worry about it." Wu Ya lowered her head.

"When you were in the hidden mansion, it's fine if you didn't live up to it. When you enter the palace, you have to live up to it no matter what. Not only for yourself, but also for the whole family." The queen mother trained.

"The concubines know, but the emperor seldom comes to the harem, and the concubines are too ordinary in all aspects, and they can't catch the eyes of the emperor. In a month, the emperor rarely comes to the concubines."

"If the emperor doesn't go to your place, won't you think of a way?"

Wu Ya shook her head, and replied honestly: "Forgive me for being stupid, I don't know how to please the emperor."

Hearing this, the queen mother frowned, a little speechless.

She held her lips and said: "You, Ama, said that no matter what, you have to fight to be the first son after ascending the throne. In this way, the Wuya family will get better and better in the future and will not lose."

Zhuang Guiren: "..."

She didn't speak, but smiled helplessly.

"He also said that sending you to the palace is not to let you do nothing. But if you really don't live up to it, he will send your direct sister to the palace as soon as the three-year election of the best girls comes. At that time, you two sisters will have to share the resources of one person, so there is no need to take care of you. In this way, your life in the palace will be even more difficult."

Hearing this, Zhuang Guiren, who was not very emotional at first, suddenly knelt down and said: "I also want to be proud, but my concubine really doesn't know how to gain a firm foothold in the harem, so I ask the Queen Mother for advice."

The Empress Dowager looked at Mr. Zhuang Gui who was kneeling on the ground, sighed, and said: "How about this, the emperor often comes to Ai's house to pay his respects, so you can come to Ai's house every day to order an appointment. As long as you are filial, if you want to come to him I'll watch you more."

"Okay, the concubine will start tomorrow, and I will come to Ningshou Palace early in the morning to greet you, and please don't dislike the concubine, the queen mother." Zhuang Guiren replied positively.

Seeing Mr. Zhuang Guiren's good attitude, the Queen Mother nodded and said with satisfaction: "In this way, the more times we meet, the emperor will remember you. Besides, you are not bad in appearance, and the emperor is not that kind A womanizer, otherwise the maid under Concubine Qi would be able to do something."

As she spoke, she gestured to Aunt Cui.

Aunt Cui went to the bottom and helped Zhuang Guiren up.

"If you want to catch the emperor's mind, the main thing is to have a pleasing personality. In terms of dealing with the world, try to follow his wishes and never fight hard with him. You seem to have done a good job in these points."

Although the queen mother didn't want to see fourth master, she still knew fourth master very well.

Zhuang Guiren shook his head, and said modestly: "If the concubine does a good job, it won't be a month without seeing the emperor once."

"It's not a problem, as long as you come to Ai's house frequently and want to see the emperor, it will be much easier."

"But... but my concubine is just a noble person, if I come to pay my respects to you every day, wouldn't it be too good?" Zhuang Guiren asked.

The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "You, you are just too honest. With Ai's family supporting you, you have nothing to be afraid of. If others dare to speak against you, just ask them to come to Ai's house, or they just don't care. Come to Ningshou Palace every day to pay your respects."

"Yes." Zhuang Guiren replied in a low voice.

Two days later, the fourth master came down from court and really went to Ningshou Palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother.

After entering the house, he made a thousand bets with the Queen Mother as usual.

Regarding the fourth master, the Queen Mother did not put on airs, she was quite easy-going and said: "Come on, the Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered someone to send fresh grapefruit and oranges, and the emperor also tasted them."

Fourth Master gave a faint "um", and a servant brought the peeled grapefruits and tangerines and put them on the table in front of Fourth Master.

It was at this time that fourth master raised his head casually, only to find Zhuang Guiren sitting opposite him.

Mrs. Zhuang had already saluted when fourth master entered the house.

At this moment, facing fourth master's direct gaze, he returned a decent smile.

Fourth Master nodded slightly as a gesture.

Then, he took a piece of peeled grapefruit from the fruit plate and ate it casually.

Seeing this scene, Concubine De shook her head helplessly.

When the queen was with her before.

As long as the emperor entered the door, his eyes would look at the queen first, and then salute to her.

Why did you come to Mr. Zhuang Gui, you just entered the house without taking a look.

Everyone saluted and sat down, but they haven't seen it yet.

After sitting for a while, I realized that there was such a person.

Is Zhuang Guiren so ordinary?

Thinking of this, she glanced lightly at Mr. Zhuang Gui, not sure.

In terms of face, it is also a goose egg pink face.

Big eyes, pink lips.

Although he is a Manchu, he is not tall and big, but very petite.

A crescent white embroidered brocade jacket.

From the looks of it, the Empress Dowager always felt that Mr. Zhuang Gui was not bad at all.

The only shortcoming is that people in the harem do not like to dress up.

It seems that there is no powder applied to the face, and the eyebrows are not painted.

The lips did not lick the red paper.

The whole person is too simple and elegant.

"Emperor Niang, I haven't seen you for a few days. I see that your complexion has improved a lot." Fourth Master said while eating grapefruit.

But I was thinking in my heart: this grapefruit is tender, refreshing, juicy, moderately sweet and sour, I think the queen will like it.

The queen mother followed Si Ye's words and said: "Emperor, you don't know that the weather has turned cold these few days, thanks to Mrs. Zhuang. Every day before dawn, I go to Ningshou Palace to serve Ai's family to change clothes and wash. Come early. From brewing tea, lighting incense, to eating, everything is done in detail."

These are really not the queen mother's bragging.

Mr. Zhuang Gui came to her every day to honor her after hearing her orders.

Besides the queen, this was the second thing that made her feel at ease in the harem.

However, Zhuang Guiren is a bit too rigid, and he is not as ingenious as the queen.

Even though Zhuang Guiren is her natal family, the Queen Mother still understands this point.
