Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 380 Going to the Cining Palace Again

Cining Palace.

After the empress dowager lifted the house arrest, she announced that the concubines in the harem would resume paying respects to the Cining Palace on the fifth day of every month.

Because of the incident on New Year’s Eve, Huang Ye thought that the empress dowager would have to pretend for a few days.

The greetings on the fifth day of the first lunar month may be spared.

But she overestimated the Queen Mother's thickness of skin. The Queen Mother was not a person who cared much about her reputation.

Besides wanting Huang Ye's life, what she wanted most now was the power to manage the harem.

As long as these people still come to pay their respects to her, it means that she is still the respected queen dowager.

This was also because Huang Ye had hit her hard these times, and she was eager to establish her authority in the harem.

She wanted to regain her former glory.

Ningyuxuan.

Fanghua looked at her mother worriedly again.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has bad intentions. You might as well pretend to be sick and not go to pay your respects."

"Aunt, if the Queen Mother wants to pick a fight with me, she won't let me off even if I hide in Ning Yuxuan."

Huang Ye felt that as long as she didn't let the Queen Mother catch her, even if she wanted to make trouble for her, it would not be an easy task.

"No, I am still worried. Your Majesty, please don't go over there."

Fanghua was very afraid that her queen would fall into the hands of the Queen Mother.

"I'll go to the Cining Palace and tell her that the queen is unwell. Can the queen mother still send someone to Ningyuxuan to take you over?"

The more Fanghua thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible.

Huang Ye knew that this was Fanghua's concern for him.

But it was impossible to make her back down.

It's not easy to survive in this harem.

Everyone can only climb up. If you retreat...

Then just wait for others to trample you to death.

"Don't worry, auntie. You know my abilities. Don't worry. I won't suffer any loss."

Huang Ye patted Fanghua's shoulder soothingly, then took Hongdou to the Cining Palace.

"Hongdou, when we get to the Cining Palace, no matter what happens, you must remember not to take any action."

On the way to the Cining Palace, Huang Ye instructed Hongdou.

"I know, Madam, don't worry."

Hongdou really listens to Huangye.

Huang Ye knew that she had heard it, so he didn't say much.

She was afraid that the Queen Mother couldn't deal with her, so she took her anger out on the people around her.

but…

If the Queen Mother dares to reach out and touch Hongdou.

She didn't mind letting her see whether she was someone she could easily control.

Huang Ye arrived at the perfect time, as several low-ranking ladies had already arrived.

But Concubine Du and Concubine Liang have not arrived yet.

Several talented ladies, including Lady Gao, Lady Ai, and Xu Rou, stood up and saluted Huang Ye.

Because her current position is above all of them.

After Huang Ye sat down, a palace maid from the Cining Palace brought tea and placed it in front of Huang Ye.

Huang Ye picked up the tea bowl, smelled it, and put it down again.

"Ye Jieyu, is it that the tea in the Cining Palace is not to your liking?"

Ever since Huang Ye came in, Xu Rou has been looking for opportunities to cause trouble for her.

Seeing her put down the tea bowl, she thought she had found her opportunity.

"Xu Fei, you are wrong. I don't think the tea in Cining Palace is not to my liking, but..."

Huang Ye dragged out a long tone.

"What is it? You just think the tea in the Cining Palace is not tasty."

Xu Rou wished she could call her aunt out right now and have her quickly accuse this bitch of disrespect.

"Xupin seems very impatient."

Huang Ye said slowly.

"Why am I so impatient...I..."

Xu Rou suddenly came to her senses.

She was too impatient and was seen through by this bitch.

How abominable.

"Just wait, the Queen Mother will come out soon, and we'll see if you can still remain calm."

Thinking of their plan, Xu Rou couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"You are very brave to threaten a concubine who is higher in rank than you, Concubine Xu."

Huang Ye would not let herself be threatened, as her current position was much higher than hers.

Although he couldn't cure the empress dowager, he was more than capable of curing Xu Rou.

"Huang Ziye...you..."

Xu Rou suddenly forgot Huang Ye’s current identity.

Just like before, she could call out Huang Ye's name fluently.

"Xupin, if you continue to be so rude, don't blame me for slapping you in the face..."

Huang Ye reminded Xu Rou with a gloomy face.

If we weren't in the Cining Palace right now, it would be better to have less trouble than more.

I guess Xu Rou's nose is bleeding now.

"you…"

Xu Rou recalled the time when Huang Ye slapped her in Kunning Palace.

That was also her humiliating past.

Although she hated it in her heart, deep down she was still afraid of being beaten.

The key point is that I don’t know what’s wrong with this bitch Huang Ziye?

When she was hit, she couldn't avoid it no matter what she did. It was a bit weird.

"Humph."

Xu Rou snorted unwillingly, but did not dare to provoke him again.

Huang Ziye, this bitch, will be punished when her aunt comes out later.

She couldn't cause trouble in advance and ruin her aunt's plan.

Xu Rou comforted herself in this way.

The yellow leaves are a pity.

Xu Rou's intelligence has improved a lot since she entered the palace.

Now that she has learned not to be impulsive, she still wants to provoke her and establish her authority.

She turned her gaze to Gao Meiren again.

Even though she had argued with Xu Rou for so long, she felt that Lady Gao had never looked at them.

Sure enough, Miss Gao still had her head down, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Huang Ye turned his gaze to Shi Yaoyao again.

Shi Yaoyao just looked at the tea bowl in her hands, as if she wanted to see flowers in it.

Next came Jin Cairen, Jiang Cairen, and Amy, all of whom looked at her worriedly.

Huang Ye nodded to them soothingly, indicating that she would be fine.

At this time, Concubine Du and Concubine Liang walked in together.

Everyone stood up and bowed, then sat down to continue drinking tea.

Huang Ye did not touch the tea bowl in front of him from beginning to end.

She must protect this tea bowl well, as it will be of great use later.

The Queen Mother finally walked in when they were all almost done drinking their tea.

Huang Ye stood up along with everyone else and saluted respectfully, trying his best to ensure that the Queen Mother could not find any fault with him.

"Everyone, sit down."

The Queen Mother is dressed very formally today, and now sitting on the throne, she looks very majestic.

"Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month. I asked you to come here early in the morning so that you can have a good gathering."

The Queen Mother looked at them lovingly and said.

"I would like to thank the Queen Mother."

Everyone spoke in unison.

The Queen Mother was very pleased with everyone's respect, but unfortunately, the Emperor had too few concubines in his harem and could not keep up with the momentum.

"Princess Du, you did a great job organizing this New Year's Eve banquet."

The Queen Mother praised Concubine Du again, saying that she looked very kind and pleasant.

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I am flattered."

Concubine Du stood up neither humbly nor arrogantly and thanked the empress dowager.

"You really did a great job. I was just talking to Yingchun about this."

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Du and said sincerely.
