The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 358 No Man’s Land

The moon was at its zenith. With something on his mind, Qin Liuse lay lazily on the bed, looking at the moon outside the window, thinking about a lot of things, and went to bed later than usual.

The next day, Qin Liuse had breakfast, accompanied the little prince and princess out for a walk, and then came back to start dressing up. She was dressed neatly and went to Concubine Xin Shu's palace with a radiant look.

Ever since Concubine Li was demoted and sent to the imperial mausoleum, Princess Anle has been temporarily kept in Concubine Xin Shufei's palace.

Because there were two little princesses in Concubine Xin Shu's palace, who were about two years older than Princess Anle, they could play together.

Fortunately, Princess Anle was more dependent on her wet nurse on weekdays. Concubine Li took care of her less and didn't take much care of her on weekdays. She didn't love the princess as much as she showed.

So this time, when Concubine Li was gone, Princess Anle only looked for her for a few days and then she wasn't making such a fuss anymore.

Princess Anle has been living with Concubine Xin Shufei these days because Emperor Yongjia has not yet decided in whose palace to keep Princess Anle.

Among the four concubines, Concubine Xiao De does not need to be considered. Concubine Ning has a son and a daughter, and Concubine Xin Shu also has two princesses.

If the child is raised in the palace of these two concubines, it is not a problem, but there are too many children in the palace, and I am afraid there will be some bias.

Emperor Yongjia seemed to feel that it was a bit unfair to Princess Anle if she was kept in the palace of concubines below the four concubines, so he delayed making a decision.

Unexpectedly, yesterday, Concubine Xiao De went to ask Emperor Yongjia for permission herself, saying that she wanted to bring Princess Anle to her palace to raise.

Emperor Yongjia originally did not consider Concubine Xiao De because she had always stayed out of the harem and did not get involved in these mundane affairs, but now that she spoke up herself, Emperor Yongjia naturally agreed.

Concubine Xiao De had good character and a high position, so she was able to protect Princess Anle. With such a character, she could naturally raise her well.

Thus, the matter was settled, and from then on, Princess Anle was the daughter of Concubine Xiao De.

This time, Concubine Xiao De was able to think it through because she had let go of it.

She didn't want to leave the palace. She just wanted to grow old in the harem and didn't want to get involved in any worldly disputes.

Nowadays, he has no thoughts about love between men and women, so living in the deep palace, bringing a princess home to raise is indeed the best of both worlds.

Qin Liuse had to play with the little prince and princess early in the morning, so she could only come later.

Concubine Xiao De went to Chuxiu Palace early in the morning, and it was obvious that she was extremely concerned about this matter.

Qin Liuse was happy to see her change. After all, things had changed between her and Yan Shouyu, and Concubine Xiao De naturally had to make her own plans.

Princess Ningle, the daughter of Concubine Xin Shu, is only a toddler now. When she came back from the northwest with Concubine Xin Shu, she was only one month old, and she is not that old now.

So when Princess Anle came to Chuxiu Palace, she became the imperial sister, and had so much fun playing with her two imperial sisters that she didn't want to leave.

Although Concubine Xin Shufei and Concubine Li had some conflicts in the past, adults are adults.

There is a palace of female officials in the palace who are in charge of the affairs of the princes. The princesses often play together. The group of children have no hatred and look like harmonious sisters.

Princess Anle was often bullied by her mother, Concubine Li, and she was a bit timid.

When Concubine Xiao De came, she also brought her a lantern that she had specially asked someone to buy from outside the palace.

Princess Anle was amazed at the lantern in her hand, and she suddenly became much closer to Concubine Xiao De.

Qin Liuse followed behind them and watched Concubine Xiao De holding Princess Anle's hand all the way back to the palace. She couldn't help but be moved.

As soon as he returned to Zhaoyang Palace, he heard that the Empress Dowager was ill in Kangning Palace.

This news was brought to Qin Liuse by Zhu Wanxi.

Emperor Yongjia sent Zhu Wanxi to deliver the message, naturally he wanted to take Qin Liuse to Kangning Palace to visit the Empress Dowager.

Qin Liuse returned to Zhaoyang Palace. The two children were still playing in the yard, being led by the maids and learning to walk.

Qin Liuse went over to tease them for a while, then followed Emperor Yongjia to Kangning Palace.

Qin Liuse is now the Imperial Noble Consort. It is only natural for her to follow Emperor Yongjia to visit the Empress Dowager, which is a sign of respecting elders.

As I stepped into the main hall of Kangning Palace, I smelled medicine. As soon as I walked in, I saw my old aunt feeding the Empress Dowager medicine.

After paying respects to the Empress Dowager, Qin Liuse asked with concern, "Empress Dowager, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly feeling unwell?"

At the Autumn Eve banquet a few days ago, the old man was still full of energy.

As the Empress Dowager was taking medicine, the old aunt standing beside her said, "The Empress Dowager had a headache when she woke up this morning. She got up early and asked the imperial physician to come and see her. He said she had caught a cold. She will be fine after taking some medicine and lying down for two days. Don't worry, Your Majesty."

"You have caught a cold and will probably have a cough in the next day or two. I will ask someone to bring a can of autumn pear paste to your grandmother when I go back. If you take it on time, you will stop coughing uncomfortably in a couple of days." Emperor Yongjia said.

If an elderly person has a cough, it can be life-threatening.

The Empress Dowager was naturally happy to hear this.

When Qin Liuse heard that the Empress Dowager just had a minor cold, she felt relieved. Since the Empress Dowager lived to such an old age, Qin Liuse naturally hoped that she could live a long life.

For a while, Qin Liuse was chatting with the Grand Empress Dowager. The Grand Empress Dowager took the medicine, looked at her, and said with a smile, "In a few days, we will go autumn hunting. You are busy these days, so you don't need to come to see me. These are all small problems."

It is almost the end of August and mid-September, and Emperor Yongjia will take his ministers on autumn hunting again. Therefore, Qin Liuse has been busy with autumn hunting these days.

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Qin Liuse smiled and shook her head, "I don't have anything to do, and there are others to take care of it. I will be worried if I don't come over."

Hearing Qin Liuse's words, the Empress Dowager opened her mouth and smiled very kindly, "You are also thoughtful."

The Empress Dowager was like this. Although she would say some contemptuous words from time to time and was too particular about rules, she was very good at saving face and rarely made people feel uncomfortable.

"The Empress Dowager has caught a cold and needs to rest, so we will leave first." Emperor Yongjia spoke again.

The Empress Dowager smiled and asked her old aunt to escort them out of the palace.

When they reached the door, the father-in-law who was waiting outside whispered a few words into the old aunt's ear.

"What happened?"

Emperor Yongjia asked casually and found out that Concubine Xin Shu had just come, but the eunuch had received instructions from his old aunt not to let anyone in to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest, so he sent Concubine Xin back.

People who are sick naturally don't like crowds, and the reason why Qin Liuse and Emperor Yongjia came here is that because of their identities, they can feel at home in Kangning Palace.

Even though Concubine Xin Shu was one of the four concubines, she did not have the freedom to visit the Empress Dowager without her permission, so she was naturally sent back.
