In the side hall of the Queen Mothers palace, it was luxurious and elegant, and the air was filled with the strong smell of sandalwood, but if you sniff carefully, you can detect a bit of the smell of candles.
Emily sat below the Queen Mother, smelling the smell in the hall, she knew that her aunt believed in Buddhism, but she didnt seem to want others to know, so even the altar for worshiping Buddha was carefully placed in the inner room behind the bedroom.
"Moon Shadow, how have you been with the emperor recently?" The Queen Mother was well-maintained, although she was already in her forties, her face looked like she was in her thirties. The only drawback was that there were some white hairs at her temples.
Emily felt as if something had pricked her heart, and a pain instantly spread throughout her body. "Reply to my aunt, its the same as before."
"What do you mean its the same as before?" The Queen Mother frowned slightly, "Moon Shadow, now that Lily Consort is more and more favored, although the emperor has not neglected you too much, you still have to be careful."
Thinking of the recent news that Lily Consort was favored, the Queen Mother couldnt help but press her eyebrows. "Moon Shadow, remember, favor is not something you can wait for. If the emperor is really fascinated by Lily Consort, it will be too late for you to regret."
Lowering her head and hiding the bitter smile at the corners of her mouth, Emily nodded and said, "Aunt, Moon Shadow knows, thank you for your concern."
Seeing Emily like this, the Queen Mother sighed again, "Forget it, you child, how have you become more and more distant since you entered the palace?"
Emily smiled, "There are many rules in the palace, Moon Shadow is afraid of saying something wrong, so she is more careful about everything."
The Queen Mother nodded, not paying much attention, and then said, "Now, you should be able to have the emperors child, so that your position can be stable."
Child? Emily thought of the contraceptive soup that never missed once, and it was difficult to breathe. She endured the pain in her heart and said, "This kind of thing cant be rushed."
"You, after entering the palace, why have you become more and more cold in your temperament!" The Queen Mother sighed and said.
Emily just smiled and didnt speak, and the two chatted a few more words before leaving the Queen Mothers palace.
After Emily left, the Queen Mother sat in the hall, frowning, and said to Mary Smith beside her, "Do you think there is something wrong with the queen?"
"This..." Mary Smith thought for a while, "The queen is indeed a bit strange."
Before, the relationship between the queen and the Queen Mother was very good, and the words between them were also very close, but now it seems a bit distant.
"Forget it, you pass on my order, let Lily Consort come to my palace." The Queen Mother stood up impatiently, and sighed again, "Im afraid Lily Consort has been too favored recently, and Moon Shadows heart is inevitably uncomfortable."
After all, Moon Shadow likes the emperor so much, and now the emperor favors Lily Consort, its normal for her to be unhappy.
Mary Smith walked forward gently, following the Queen Mother. "Your Majesty, do you want to warn Lily Consort?"
The Queen Mother walked slowly, "Go, there are some things that the queen doesnt do, I cant help but manage. Lily Consort indeed needs to be warned."
"Yes, I understand," Mary Smith bowed her head, but she was a bit puzzled in her heart, thinking of the bowl she saw before, the residue left in it, it seemed like medicine. Is the queen drinking medicine recently? But why hasnt it been reported by the people below?
Or is it that she guessed wrong?
Forget it, dont tell the Queen Mother about this matter for the time being, after all, its just her guess.
