Rong Jingqiu was not familiar with Empress Dowager Xia, but she was not afraid. After all, she had elders who had been in contact with each other in her previous life, but she still looked at Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu nodded slightly with understanding.

Rong Jingqiu had done his tricks and then slowly walked up to Empress Dowager Xia and was about to salute him. Empress Dowager Xia grabbed her and smiled, "Since you are injured, it's better not to be able to do those false gifts."

"The courtesy cannot be abandoned, the Empress Dowager will ruin the little girl." Rong Jingqiu gave a blessing with a smile and respectfully.

Time is undefeated. Queen Mother Xia is still a beauty even when she is old. She looks better than the younger queen. She has a high temperament and is really more maternal than the queen. Unfortunately, she was unable to choose the emperor back then, but was occupied by the emperor. Even if she had the title of the queen, she was just a false reputation. After all, the emperor had no blood relationship with her.

The more Empress Dowager Xia looked at Rong Jingqiu, the more she liked him. She immediately picked a colorful treasure, auspicious cloud phoenix hairpin from her head and gave it to Rong Jingqiu as a meeting gift.

This gift is quite precious, and Rong Jingqiu felt a "splitting" in her heart and dared not accept it. This is not the same as the jade plum blossom hairpin produced by the queen wholesale and mass production. "Empress Dowager, this gift is too expensive, little girl..."

"It's just a thing, how expensive can it be?" Empress Dowager Xia signaled her to squat down.

Rong Jingqiu dared not refuse to obey, so he could only squat down with a nervous look. Empress Dowager Xia personally put this colorful treasure, Xiangyun, phoenix hairpin on Rong Jingqiu's hairpin, and naturally saw the jade plum blossom hairpin worn on her combed clouds. The Queen came and went, which had not changed for many years, and her temperament was even smaller. It was much worse than the Queen of Yuan Dynasty who had passed away for many years. It was difficult for this young girl.

She patted Rong Jingqiu's hand lightly, but put it in her ear and whispered, "Don't worry, it's not something beyond the control." She never thought of harming this young girl.

Rong Jingqiu could feel that Empress Dowager Xia really liked her in her eyes, so the smile on her face became much brighter. Since she returned to Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, she has received many gifts from her elders along the way, but the sincere gifts she gave was still the Empress Dowager Xia in front of her.

Sincerely for sincerity, Xia Wei, who helped her escape from the trouble in her previous life, was the niece of Empress Dowager Xia. She naturally became a little close to Empress Dowager Xia, not as good as the alienation in her previous life. At that time, even Empress Dowager Xia showed her liking, but she did not take the initiative to get close to her out of multiple concerns, and even had to escape more.

Now I feel sad.

The queen looked sideways, and she was sarcastic in places where people could not see it. She looked down on Empress Dowager Xia more and more. What's the use of trying to win over a useless little girl? How much effort can she give her? She is really stupid and unaware of it.

Of course, her eyes still looked at the Caibao Xiangyun Fengtou Hairpin. Although the materials and workmanship were impeccable, it was not used by the Lord of the Central Palace. It was suitable to use it as a gift for Rong Jingqiu. However, with this Caibao Xiangyun Fengtou Hairpin for comparison, it seemed that the jade plum blossom hairpin she gave was a little unfavorable. Her eyes sank and she felt quite unhappy.

Because the occasion is wrong, otherwise she would not give up? Empress Dowager Xia must have deliberately made things difficult for her. The more she thought about it, the more she felt uncomfortable.

When Empress Dowager Xia was just a widow, she was not unprepared for this young mother-in-law, afraid that she would have something bad to happen to the emperor. Fortunately, this old fairy knew how to advance and retreat. She thought that the old emperor would live in the palace in the name of blessings, and lived there for several years. Later, except for returning to the palace for a short period of the New Year, she rarely came back to her eyes.

It is one thing to look down on Empress Dowager Xia, but because of her higher generation, she really has no choice but to use this old fairy on the surface. Thinking of this, her face will inevitably look a little ugly.

"The Empress Dowager likes Yu Ge'er's wife who has not passed away. It would be better to keep her in Cining Palace for a while, which is also her filial piety." The emperor smiled. The girl from the Rong family was in moderation, so it would be feasible to keep her in the palace to accompany the Empress Dowager.

He didn't have much disgust for this stepmother. After all, this stepmother is pretty good at being a human being. She knows how much his identity is, and she has been doing what she deserves for so many years. It can be said that his father had chosen a good second wife back then. If he really married a stupid second wife, he would not have the kind of attitude to tolerate such existence.

The reason why Empress Dowager Xia is quite good at this palace is related to her sensibility is that the emperor is willing to carry her sedan chair.

When Empress Dowager Xia heard this, she was really happy. She liked young girls more when she got older. She had also seen the daughter-in-law of the seventh and eighth princes who got married one after another. Empress Dora, she thought she could not like a foreign woman like Princess Dora. The two of them didn’t talk too much, and the Eighth Prince’s Concubine He was also a lovely person, but how could the newlyweds separate and accompany her as an old woman?

She is also a woman, and she knows that once the mistress leaves the house, the concubines below will come out to dance with demons. Isn’t this harmful to her young wife? She can’t do such an immoral thing.

But Rong Jingqiu is different. She is still Yunying is still unmarried, so it is okay to keep her by her side for a while, but she still asked softly, "Child, are you willing?"

Of course not willing!

Rong Jingqiu has never had a good impression of the palace. It is like a monster who opens her mouth and wants to eat people. Besides, she never encounters a good thing every time she comes in, but the emperor has spoken, so where can she have room for her to refuse?

If she didn't want to say she was willing, she lowered her head against her will, "The little woman is willing..."

Empress Dowager Xia has always been a person with a very keen feeling. How could she not see Rong Jingqiu’s unwillingness? Forget it, she is not sweet, "Silly child, Ai family is teasing you." Seeing Rong Jingqiu's astonished gaze, she smiled a little proudly, like an old naughty boy.

Rong Jingqiu wanted to accompany Empress Dowager Xia like this, life would not be sad. After all, she seemed to have novel ideas at all times. Just as she was about to change her mind, she heard Empress Dowager Xia sigh and said: "The niece of the Ai family is about your age. I wanted you to be a playmate for each other, but it was almost the end of the New Year, and the Ai family was not good for keeping you in the palace for your mother to remember. Go home and have a peaceful New Year, and then prepare to get married. I will be the granddaughter-in-law of the Ai family in the beginning of next spring..."

Rong Jingqiu didn't pay attention to listening to the following words. At this moment, she was thinking about the name that shocked her.

Xia Wei.

The memory of her was frozen in the night that night. She didn't know what her final fate would be? Should she die or get revenge?

When she thought of this name, her heart felt a heat.

Since she had not had much contact with Xia Wei in her previous life, she did not know her previous life trajectory, and she did not know why she later became the emperor's favorite concubine.

Concubine Xia was a name that she could not avoid in the palace in her previous life.

He was young and beautiful, and his dazzling light covered the queen. At that time, the queen was fighting with Concubine Xia, but how could an old and half-old woman fight a woman who was still in her prime?

The answer is self-evident. Concubine Xia’s young appearance easily captured the emperor’s heart, and it is a fact that the queen’s fall from favor is visible to the naked eye.

Later, the prince lost power and directly implicated the queen. The queen even handed out the phoenix seal in charge. The phoenix seal fell into the hands of Concubine Xia without any surprise. In those years, the number one figure in the harem was no longer the lord of the central palace, but the glorious Concubine Xia.

She once looked down on Concubine Xia. At that time, she thought that she was greedy for wealth and prosperity and then went to the palace to marry the elderly emperor, and successfully confused the emperor. Everyone called her a demon concubine behind her back. She thought this title was quite appropriate. After all, she was arrogant because of favor. That was not a demon concubine. What was that?

Concubine Xia had no offspring, so she won over the emperor's love and occupied the emperor's love, and on the other hand she had contact with several princes who were competing for the throne at that time. No one could say which prince she would support to take over?

But any prince needed the rare item of pillow wind, so he spared no effort to win the support of Concubine Xia.

At that time, she thought that Zhao Yu was not included. After all, Zhao Yu did not show any intention of winning over. However, the person who Concubine Xia supported was Zhao Yu. After all, Concubine Xia came to save her in the end.

It was also at that time that she realized that she had misunderstood Concubine Xia.

It turned out that Concubine Xia was not the kind she thought she was a person who was so charming. On the contrary, she seemed to be quite resistant to the title of Concubine and obviously did not miss this wealth or honor, otherwise she would not have asked her to call her by her name in the end.

In such an environment, Xia Wei showed real ideas, not hypocritical behavior.

So since she was reborn in this life, she has been thinking about Xia Wei in her heart. She hopes to have the opportunity to change her destiny at the beginning, which is to repay her salvation in her previous life.

It’s just a pity that since she was reborn, she has never been able to find out about Xia Wei. The Xia family in Dingbei Hou Mansion seems to be very secretive about this daughter, but Xia Wei is similar to her life trajectory in the first half of her life.

Unexpectedly, she heard the news about Xia Wei from Empress Dowager Xia. At this time, she restrained the enthusiasm in her eyes and said, "The Empress Dowager is a kind person. Miss Xia will definitely be a good girl. The little girl is looking forward to getting to know her." At this time, her smile was extremely sincere.

Empress Dowager Xia looked carefully and did not see hypocrisy in Rong Jingqiu's eyes. She thought of her ill-fated niece, if she could get along with an upright girl like Rong Jingqiu, it might be beneficial for her.

"That's good, the Ai family will introduce you to each other now." Empress Dowager Xia turned around and ordered the nanny beside her.

The nanny took the order and soon, she brought a young girl in a royal blue dress. The girl's face was filled with a smile, looking childish and seemed to be a little naive.

Rong Jingqiu almost held her breath and looked at the person who was getting closer. Whether it was his expression or his dressing up, Xia Wei did not have any shadow of Concubine Xia at this time, but she still subconsciously moved her figure to block the figure of the emperor there, and did not want the emperor to have the opportunity to eat the young grass.
