No matter what, I didn't make a fool of myself in the end, but I only attracted jealous looks and ridicules from many concubines in the Queen Mother's house.
I'm blind, I can't see, I can't see...
I didn't care at all. They were mocking me because they were jealous, so why should I care?
I followed Dongfang Luo indifferently and walked into the Queen Mother's side.
Dongfang Luo saluted the Queen Mother and said, "My son, I have met the Queen Mother."
Next, I said: "I have seen the Queen Mother, and I want to pay my respects to the Queen Mother."
Dongfang Luo got up, and I was the only one kneeling on the ground because I wanted to serve tea later.
After greeting the Queen Mother, under the guidance of Qiangwei, I said to the Queen: "I have seen the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother is auspicious."
After that, I also greeted the other concubines, and it was those concubines who paid their respects to Dongfang Luo.
All the concubines, including the queen, were fawning over Dongfang Luo and wanted to rush into his arms, but he just responded coldly.
At this time, a maid came in carrying two cups of tea.
Under Qiangwei's guidance, I picked up a cup and handed it to the Queen Mother, saying: "Queen Mother, please have some tea."
Then I brought another cup to the Queen and said: "Queen, please have some tea."
It was obvious that the queen wanted to embarrass me and break the tea cup, but under Dongfang Luo's warning eyes, she did not do that.
The Queen Mother and the Queen just drank a little, and then a group of people sat together and chatted.
When leaving, the Queen Mother said: "Concubine Xi's eyesight is inconvenient, so don't come to pay her respects every day in the future."
It seems like you care, but what it actually means is that you hate me and don't want to see me.
I'm not surprised either. Why should I be surprised? I wish I could!
I come to say hello every day, but I have to get up very early.
"yes."
I responded, welcomed the Empress Dowager's power, and returned to Xi Palace with the support of Qiangwei and Wan Ning without any concern.
When we were at the Cining Palace, Dongfang Luo had something to do and left early. I could see that he was worried about me when he left, but he was helpless and left anyway.
I know that he can't protect me all the time. Even if he is by my side all the time, there are some things that he can't do.
On the way back to Xi Palace, I let Qiangwei support me, not daring to walk on my own for fear of being spotted by others.
It's just that I don't want to get involved with anyone anymore, and some people are still unwilling to let me go just like that.
