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

Chapter 276 A new generation replaces the old one

The princesses gradually reached the marriageable age, and the selection of a prince consort was put on the agenda.

After the emperor's death, all civil and military officials needed to mourn for 27 days. Civil and military officials and all civilians were not allowed to have fun within 100 days, were not allowed to slaughter animals within 49 days, and were prohibited from getting married within one month.

Hongyao was very busy for a while as he was in charge of state affairs for the first time.

Three months after the emperor's death, Huimin summoned Niuhulu and others into the palace. She still wanted to meet her future daughter-in-law.

Niuhulu was generous and gentle, while Fucha was dignified and polite, but her eyes looked firm...

Xilin Gioro was a lively person. Huimin had seen this girl many times, and E Shi's wife often brought her into the palace.

Since she is his own niece, he is more open towards Huimin.

However, in front of so many people, my little niece was very well-behaved.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen Mother. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."

"Everyone, get up."

Huimin gave a look and Ruyi served tea and snacks to all the ladies.

"You are all ladies from famous families, carefully selected by the late emperor. Today, I will only meet you once, so there is no need to be restrained."

Hearing this, several of the concubines could not help but feel nervous. Sitting in front of them was the most honorable woman in the Qing Dynasty, the emperor's biological mother, the empress of the previous emperor, and the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty.

She will also be their future queen mother.

The new emperor was extremely filial, and if he wanted to be liked by the emperor, he had to please the empress dowager.

After Huimin said this, she just gently stroked the teacup and observed their reactions.

For a moment, several concubines did not dare to speak rashly.

The people who would enter the palace had been chosen, but their positions had not yet been determined.

Even though I knew that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had probably already made up their minds, who wouldn't want to leave a good impression on the Empress Dowager? Not only for a higher position, but also to gain her favor in the future and get some care.

The situation would not calm down until the Queen Mother spoke.

The concubines were all on edge, and no one dared to speak first.

but……

Niuhulu's heart tightened, but she still smiled slowly and said, "Your Majesty's tea and snacks are really unique. After tasting this tea today, it is also refreshing."

No matter what they said, it could be wrong, but the safest way was to start with the tea and snacks that Huimin had just had served to them. Niuhulu was smart.

Praising the tea and snacks will not offend the Queen Mother.

Huimin also gave face to Niuhulu, "This was made by Ruyi, who is by my side. Her cooking skills are always good.

Huimin smiled and said:

"The late emperor also praised it."

After hearing what Huimin said, Xilin Jueluo Yingyue also joined the conversation: "We are in for a treat today. In the past, Aunt Ruyi rarely cooked by herself. Aunt has always loved Aunt Ruyi the most."

Huimin also laughed at Yingyue's slightly playful words.

"You naughty boy, every time you come here you always take some food from me."

Her niece was not stupid. She came up to the other two beauties and stated that the Queen Mother was her aunt and that she often went to the palace, so they had a special relationship.

But Yingyue was smart enough not to be the first to speak, this was to give face to Nianhulu.

Otherwise, if Yingyue spoke first, Huimin would definitely not ignore her, and the two of them would start chatting. The other two, who were meeting each other for the first time, would be embarrassed and unable to join in the conversation. Besides, this Nianhulu was the candidate for the future queen.

Yingyue meant to show that she knew her position, but she also wanted to show Nianhulu that she had a backer so that Nianhulu would not look down on her.

Yingyue, looks lively, cheerful and heartless, but she is not stupid either.

Seeing that both Niuhulu and Xilinjueluo had started talking to the Queen Mother, Fucha couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She thought for a moment before saying:

"I heard that the Empress Dowager has always liked elegance and elegance, and she likes lotus flowers the most. I am also curious about how beautiful the lotus pond in the Old Summer Palace is."

Fu Cha took the initiative to start a new topic.

Huimin looked at her face pretending to be calm, but smiled in her heart, these little girls...

Huimin had been in the palace for eighteen years, so how could she not figure out what they were thinking?

"The lotus leaves are endless and green, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun. It's a pity that it's autumn now, and the lotus flowers in the Old Summer Palace have all withered. Next year, you can go and see them for yourself."

"The lotus breeze brings fragrance, the bamboo dew drops make clear sounds, and even in the hot summer, I don't feel the heat and irritability anymore."

Huimin looked at Fucha and spoke slowly.

After they chatted for a while, Qingping leaned over to Huimin's ear to report.

Huimin nodded.

"In that case, why don't you all go with me to the Imperial Garden for a walk."

Naturally, the three members of the Niuhulu clan obeyed.

But while the three of them were admiring the precious flowers in the Imperial Garden and carefully accompanying the Empress Dowager on her tour, they suddenly saw a bright yellow figure.

"My daughter has met the emperor."

Hongyao didn't look at them, "I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

Huimin looked at her son with a smile in her eyes.

"Get up."

Several concubines were all nervous, as no one expected that the emperor was actually in the imperial garden.

Looking at the beautiful ladies, Hongyao had no intention of chatting with them, which made Huimin a little anxious.

This child has never had any love in his heart.

But these people will be by his side in the future, so at least he should look at them straight in the eye and get to know them better.

Huimin looked at these girls. Some of them blushed, some clenched their handkerchiefs nervously, and one was still looking at Huimin stupidly.

Huimin felt even more helpless about this girl. Her little niece was looking at Hongyao, not at herself. Why was she doing that?

The Queen Mother is here to add bricks and tiles to your construction, but the Emperor is the foundation.

Huimin was helpless.

However, Hongyao seemed to be very polite to the ladies and was at ease in chatting with them, but he knew his son well and that boy was not interested in that.

However, Huimin looked at Niuhulutana. There was shyness in the girl's eyes, her face flushed, and her eyes fell vaguely on Hongyao.

Fu Cha Zhiran tried her best to remain calm and did not dare to look the emperor in the face, but judging from her expression, she seemed to be in love for the first time.

Yes, a girl in seclusion is also shy when she meets her future husband for the first time.

Moreover, to be fair, Hongyao is handsome, elegant, and a young emperor who ascended the throne. The male protagonist in the story is no more than that.

Young girls can't help but feel amorous and look forward to their future.

However, looking at her son who was not at all smart, Huimin felt a headache.

Forget it, this thing can't be taught.

My son is now eager to become an emperor who works hard to govern the country.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and Huimin has no intention of interfering in Hongyao's feelings.

As long as there is no trouble in the harem, it will be fine.
