Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

Chapter 278 Daily Life of the Queen Mother (1)

Not long after Hongyao ascended the throne, Huimin moved to the Cining Palace.

Hongyao was extremely filial and always wanted to give his mother the best. He put a lot of effort into cleaning up the Cining Palace, striving to make it perfect.

The emperor was filial, so the concubines in the harem naturally dared not neglect him.

Everyone tried their best to please the Queen Mother.

Hongyao was not a womanizer. The young emperor had no interest in this aspect at all. Instead, he was busy with government affairs all day long.

In addition to handling government affairs, he mostly went to the study to see his younger brothers who were studying, went to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, or summoned important officials into the palace to exchange feelings between the monarch and his subjects.

Or he could ride horses, shoot arrows, read books, play chess with Princes Hongjun and Hongqing, or go out of the palace.

……

The emperor has a lot of things to do every day. The court officials are full of praise for this emperor who is diligent in his work, loves his people, is humble and studious, is filial and self-motivated, and is friendly to his brothers.

But when Hongyao did this, the court officials were happy, his brothers were happy, and even Hongyao himself was happy.

But the concubines in the harem were unhappy.

Originally, the new emperor had just ascended the throne and there were few people in the harem. These concubines were all holding their breath to compete for the emperor's favor and to gain a good future for themselves and their families.

If we don’t fight now, when will we fight?

Now is the best time.

But who would have thought.

It depends on how often the emperor comes to the harem every month and how many times he visits the Imperial Garden and other places.

A skilled cook cannot cook without rice. Even if you have great skills, it will be useless if you can't see the emperor.

Huimin looked at these newcomers and felt helpless.

More than half a year after the death of the previous emperor, the harem became lively again.

They all compete with each other in beauty and secretly want to be the first.

Today, Concubine Tang made the soup herself, and tomorrow, Concubine Liu will play the piano in the Imperial Garden.

But the soup cooked by Concubine Tang could not be delivered to the Yangxin Palace, and the song carefully prepared by Concubine Liu in the Imperial Garden could not be heard by Hongyao even after playing it for several days...

Why aren't the concubines anxious when the emperor doesn't come to the harem?

But there's no point in being anxious.

Didn’t the Emperor go to the Queen’s place often?

It's not just you who are out of favor, the entire harem has been ignored by the emperor.

But the status of the queen is different after all.

Nianhulu became the queen. Although she had only been in the palace for a short time, Hongyao did not say how much affection he had for her, but he respected the queen very much.

Although Hongyao rarely went to the harem, he would visit Nianhulu on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and there would be laughter and joy in Chuxiu Palace.

Although Hongyao couldn't be said to like his concubines, given his personality, he had been very good at pleasing people since he was a child. As long as he wanted to make people happy, he could easily make them smile. Of course, as an emperor now, Hongyao naturally didn't need to please his concubines, but no matter which concubine Hongyao got along with, he could make the other person smile as long as he wanted.

Niohuru was naturally no exception. Hongyao was willing to give face to the queen. Every time he went to the queen's palace, Niohuru's eyes were full of joy, as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

Besides, Niuhulu herself had a gentle personality, was kind to others, and had a good relationship with others. Hongyao was also willing to give respect to his queen.

When Hongyao went out on weekdays, he would gradually bring back some gifts for Niuhulu.

As for Hongyao, Niuhulu was also... Huimin could see that this child was at the age when he was just beginning to fall in love.

Huimin smiled.

Dignified and gentle, well-educated and well-mannered, the late emperor made a very good choice for the queen.

Niuhulu was also a smart person and she knew what was going on, and Huimin was also satisfied with her.

The emperor and empress got married a few months ago, and the scene was naturally very spectacular.

Its grand scale is breathtaking.

Niuhulu was the Empress Dowager who was carried in from the Daqing Gate, and her status was extremely different.

You know, there were very few empresses carried in from the Daqing Gate.

Young couples are the most precious. In the future, they will support each other and work together to conquer the land of Qing Dynasty.

Huimin also hoped that Hongyao and Niuhulu would not only live in harmony, but at least respect each other.

Only when the harem is stable can Hongyao live in peace.

Niuhulu, looking at that girl, Huimin felt emotional.

It is worthy of being carefully cultivated by the Niuhulu clan.

Moreover, Niuhulu wanted to win Hongyao's favor and knew how to please him.

On weekdays, she would get to know Hongyao's favorite things, and knowing that Hongyao was filial to the Empress Dowager, she would often come to the Cining Palace to pay her respects.

Niuhulu accompanied Huimin to entertain and amuse herself. As a junior, she did not have many common topics with Huimin. Moreover, Huimin's friends often came to her place during the summer, winter and spring seasons, and it was always very lively. Logically, she should have felt awkward in this situation.

But Niuhulu was very sensible and persistent, which really made Huimin admire her.

Huimin also discovered that Niuhulu was indeed a gentle person and an upright person.

But just wait and see, a journey of a thousand miles tests the strength of a horse, and time reveals a person's true character. It is not easy to work hard on yourself.

However, having spent so much time fighting in the previous emperor's harem, it was quite interesting to see the fighting among Hongyao's concubines.

However, it was useful for Niuhulu to come to Huimin to pay her respects frequently. At least Hongyao was satisfied, and he had more topics to talk about when he went to Chuxiu Palace.

Moreover, there is no way to compete for favor in the harem.

The concubines naturally had to seize every opportunity.

As it happened, at that time Concubine Li was very skillful and she sent the newly made pastries to the Cining Palace instead of the Yangxin Palace.

She personally brought people to present it to Huimin.

As a mere noble, she naturally had no qualifications to meet the Empress Dowager, so she could only ask someone to inform them and wait outside the Cining Palace.

Huimin also knew what she was thinking, and at first she had no intention of seeing her.

But Concubine Li was smart. She knew that Concubine Shu, the niece of the Empress Dowager, loved pastries and delicacies, so she made some specially for Concubine Shu.

Yingyue is still young and has not yet been favored by the emperor. With Huimin's protection, she lives a comfortable life.

But she was not stupid and knew what Concubine Li was thinking.

I mentioned this matter when I came to the Cining Palace to talk to Huimin.

Huimin did not make a decision for her directly on this matter, but asked Yingyue for her opinion.

"Aunt, the cakes made by Concubine Li are really delicious."

Yingyue blinked, lively and playful.

Seeing her like this, Huimin also smiled.

With a glance, Ruyi understood and led the palace servants to retreat.

Huimin looked at her little niece. She was still as innocent and lively as ever, smiling and acting coquettishly towards Huimin.

"aunt."

"You, as long as you have a plan in mind."

Yingyue's cheeks puffed up. She walked up to Huimin and took her arm.

"Good aunt, Yingyue still needs you to make decisions for me."

Huimin looked at her little daughter's idiotic appearance and tapped her forehead helplessly.

"Your aunt can't make decisions for you for the rest of your life."

Yingyue put her head close to Huimin affectionately.

"No, I just know that my aunt loves me the most."

"Yingyue wants to be a little grass, always leaning on her aunt's big tree, and never separate."
