Honored Consort Ya went over to greet her. The empress and Queen Xian had no reason to sit here, so they stood up together.
Yuan Qingling helped the retired emperor walk a few steps by the lake. He felt a little tired and sat down on the wooden chair by the lake. Yuan Qingling had tied his outer shirt. The weather was neither cold nor hot.
"Well, is it necessary to be so detailed?" The retired emperor said impatiently.
"I have to. You've been walking a long way. Now that it's hot, you can't blow the cold wind anymore." Yuan Qingling said.
"You're so young, but you're thoughtful." The retired emperor raised his neck and asked Yuan Qingling to help him. As soon as he looked up, he saw the empress and the others coming over.
The retired emperor's brows drooped. "It's boring."
Yuan Qingling looked back and then stood straight with her hands down. She thought to herself, "It's boring."
One was the empress, one was the Honored Consort Ya, and the other was Queen Xian. The three of them moved out, followed by many imperial palace servants. This large group of people came in a mighty manner, making people feel that the royal garden was a little crowded in an instant.
Yuan Qingling went up to greet her politely. "Your Majesty, Honored Consort Ya, and Queen Xian."
She made a mistake. According to the rules, she had to address the empress as mother. Honored Consort Gao was Di Gui's mother and Queen Xian.
However, no one bothered her due to the retired emperor's presence. They all stepped forward and bowed. "Greetings, retired emperor."
The retired emperor was a gentle old man today. He smiled slightly and said, "You're all here."
The empress took a step forward and replied respectfully, "In response to the retired emperor, the weather is good today, so the sisters have all come out to exercise. How is the retired emperor?"
"Okay, if it's not good, can you come out and walk around?" The retired emperor said in high spirits.
"Good morning, the retired emperor. It's the blessing of the North Tang. Am I right, Princess Chu?" Queen Xian said with a smile.
"Yuan Qingling is absent-minded" What uniform?
She replied, "Yes, she's wearing a uniform."
Queen Xian's face darkened. "Are you tired, My Lady?"
Yuan Qingling shook her head. "I'm not tired. Thank you for your concern, Queen Xian."
Queen Xian was going to die of anger.
The imperial concubine sized up Yuan Qingling. Princess Chu had been very popular recently. Although she had not dealt with other consorts in the imperial palace, there had never been a secret in the imperial palace. In a few days, the news spread all over the imperial palace.
Princess Chu was the first consort to enter the imperial palace to take care of the emperor. Her reputation was not good in the past. However, when she saw Princess Chu standing quietly beside the retired emperor, she was neither humble nor arrogant to the empress nor Queen Xian. She was a clear-minded person.
It seemed that rumors were true.
The empress was also looking at Yuan Qingling. Ever since the incident in Southern Pearl, she had always bore a grudge against Yuan Qingling. However, she had always looked down on Yuan Qingling. Now that she saw that she had accompanied the old emperor out for a walk and even asked her to help the retired emperor, she had no choice but to take her seriously.
Queen Xian's mood was the most complicated.
She still did not like Yuan Qingling. She even hoped that Yu Wenhao would hardened his heart and give up on her. She wanted to draw Chu family over to her side. She had thought that the matter had already been more than half successful, but it had been put aside by Yuan Qingling's disagreement.
After what had happened, she hated Yuan Qingling to the core.
But now that she saw how happy she was and how the retired emperor could decide the final decision-maker for the throne...
Queen Xian decided to wait and see. Then, she temporarily put away her plan to deal with Yuan Qingling.
The retired emperor said indifferently, "I'm tired. Let's go back."
"Oh," Yuan Qingling said and reached out to help him up. "Then let's go."
"Send the retired emperor off!" The three of them bowed respectfully.
After sending the retired emperor back to his palace, Tang Yang came to report that she should went back.
The carriage drove all the way back to the mansion, but Yuan Qingling did not make a sound. She just thought of the scene in the royal garden without looking at Yu Wenhao.
She could sense the subtle changes in Queen Xian's mood. Queen Xian and her family would not have any thoughts in fighting her because the emperor and the retired emperor attached great importance to her.
