After a cup of tea, the Queen Mother smiled again. The tense atmosphere caused by the snake was finally calmed down, and the gorgeous Erkan was taken out of the palace under Ziwei's reluctant eyes.
After Mengxue served the tea to the Queen Mother, she obediently followed Aunt Gui and served the tea to the emperor. The emperor took a sip of the tea and nodded with satisfaction. However, Mengxue still felt that the emperor was looking at her.
His eyes were somewhat thoughtful.
Mengxue did not explore this matter - people in the royal family were more thoughtful than others, let alone the emperor! It would be strange if he did not explore his performance today!
She kept her expression, smiled, and followed Aunt Gui to the Queen to serve her tea.
Baili Chanjuan took the tea gracefully, drank it, and smiled gracefully:
"Unknowingly, Shuang'er has grown up."
Mengxue's performance today surprised her, and she was unexpectedly satisfied! Originally, she was worried that this stupid and cowardly niece would embarrass the Baili family, but it seemed that she was overly worried.
She was really surprised that her niece, who was like air and could be ignored at any time, could act so calmly. She believed that even Baili Hexiang might not be able to act so calmly if she was in Shuang'er's situation.
Baili Chanjuan couldn't help but look at her niece with admiration. She really can't be judged by her appearance!
After paying homage to the queen, Mengxue was led to the woman next to her.
This woman is indeed a concubine with status. She is the biological mother of the eldest prince and the fourth prince, Concubine Shu. She looks older than Baili Chanjuan. She looks like she is in her forties. She is slender but not for her age.
She was a person with a slightly long face and an infinitely charming face. She politely took the teacup and sipped it without showing any emotion. In fact, she was very dissatisfied with Cheng Lan's previous move to rescue Baili Shuang. She had always been at odds with Baili Chanjuan, and it was rare for her to do so.
How could she be willing to let go of the opportunity to suppress her? But she was not good at showing off, so she just said a few polite words to Mengxue. She knew how to hide her emotions as she was well versed in the ways of the harem.
After paying homage to the Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Empress, and Concubine Lin Shu, the elders had finished worshiping. The other concubines did not appear on this occasion due to their low status.
Next, Mengxue followed Aunt Gui and walked to the lower left side.
"I've met the eldest prince." Aunt Gui said mechanically.
Lowering her head to take the tea handed over by her mama, Mengxue felt complicated. In fact, she had noticed this man from the moment he came in, not because of anything else but because of the jade flute in his hand.
Mengxue will never forget that flute, because that flute is exactly the same as the one in Li Zehao's hand...
