Chapter 99: Hongmen Banquet (5)
However, today, the Queen Mother, who had always been indifferent to the world, summoned her the moment she returned to the palace, which was really beyond her expectation.
However, when she entered the Qingfeng Hall of Ming Ai Palace and saw the man sitting at the foot of the Queen Mother, she felt a little more clear.
He Boyu tried every means to remind her to return to the palace later, probably to prevent this scene from happening!
"Ahem... Sister Imperial Concubine, you are here. If you don't come, I will personally invite you for my ancestors!" Looking at Ah Jiu, Queen Jiao said with a smile.
Today, she has slightly sunken cheeks and deep-set eye circles. Even the best makeup can't cover the dark shadows under her eyes, and the brightest rouge can't cover her gray and haggard face.
Presumably, although Miss Six's sword didn't kill her, it still damaged her roots and completely damaged her body.
But, like a candle in the wind, she held such a Hongmen Banquet in the Queen Mother's Palace on the first day she came back. Was this because she couldn't wait to avenge herself?
Ah Jiu smiled slightly and ignored the Queen's cynicism. Instead, he bowed slightly to the silver-haired old woman sitting in the top seat and said, "Shangguan Jiu has met the Queen Mother!"
This old woman has fair hair and a childish face, and her face is rosy. She is only wearing a well-made brown palace dress. She has piercing eyes and looks very good. She is none other than the Empress Dowager Huide of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhao.
"So you are Jiu'er. You are indeed a lovely person. No wonder Yu'er likes you so much."
Looking at Ah Jiu, Queen Mother Zhao narrowed her eyes with a smile, then pointed to the seat opposite Queen Jiao and said, "Sit down quickly! I heard that you are not in good health. Are you tired from going to the top of the mountain?"
Ah Jiu's eyes flashed, and she smiled at the loving Empress Dowager Zhao: "I'm tired, but it's not me. It should be the little eunuchs who are carrying the sedan."
"Haha! You have such a funny little mouth." The Queen Mother Zhao laughed loudly and said to an old palace maid next to her, "Brother Ya, give my two daughters-in-law some Yurong tea quickly."
Serve it, and if you don’t serve it, it won’t taste good!”
The old palace maid known as Ya Geer immediately laughed: "It seems that our ancestors don't know how to feel sorry for their daughter-in-law. This Jade Rong Tea is always brewed and drank immediately, and there is no delay for even a moment. The imperial concubine and the queen are not here.
How dare we brew it?"
"Okay, okay, I'm always nagging you, why don't you hurry up and go." Empress Dowager Zhao scolded with a smile. Brother Ya smiled again and glanced at Ah Jiu as if inadvertently, and then went down to prepare tea.
When entering the Qingfeng Hall, Xiaoyu stayed outside the hall in accordance with the rules of the Qingfeng Hall. The Queen also came alone, so as soon as Ya Geer left, the Queen Mother, the Queen and Ajiu seemed to be the only ones left in the Qingfeng Hall.
It was a little quieter again.
However, the Queen Mother still smiled and greeted Ajiu, asking her what she had seen along the way and the situation at home.
Ah Jiu picked up the important ones and said them nicely. The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes with a smile and kept nodding.
However, seeing their happy faces, the queen's face became increasingly ugly.
