Surprise! The boss of the last days, reborn before the engagement

Zi Yan, the Queen's trusted maid, stepped forward immediately upon seeing this and replied softly, "To answer the Queen's question, before you returned to the palace, the most favored one was Concubine Shen.

She is also the biological mother of the Sixth Prince. Ever since she became favored, the maids in Qiyun Palace have claimed that Concubine Shen is the future queen, and they are very proud of it. "

Upon hearing this, the Queen raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

"It seems that Concubine Shen is really favored!" She sighed softly, and her tone contained both recognition and admiration for Concubine Shen, as well as emotion and reflection on her own years of life in the deep palace.

"I didn't expect that after not seeing you for more than ten years, the little girl back then has become the most favored concubine in the six palaces." The Queen's words revealed a hint of sadness and nostalgia, as if she was recalling the lost years of youth.

Zilin, another personal maid, stepped forward and comforted her upon seeing this: "No matter who is favored, the Emperor loves you the most, the Empress.

What’s more, you have four princes! They are all outstanding people and will definitely help you solve your problems in the future.”

After hearing Zilin's words, the Queen's lips curled up into a gentle smile.

She chuckled and then ordered, "Haha, you guys are really good at talking. I'll give you a monthly salary as a reward."

The queen's generosity and generosity made the palace maids kneel down one after another, shouting in unison: "Thank you, queen! May the queen be blessed with good health!"

The Queen raised her hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up.

"Everyone, get up! No need to be polite." She said gently, her eyes sweeping over everyone present, as if giving them the most sincere care and encouragement in her own way.

Then, she turned and walked into the inner hall, preparing to change her clothes and make up, so as to be in the best condition to welcome the emperor's arrival.

In front of the dressing table in the inner hall, the Queen sat in front of a bronze mirror, allowing the palace maids to comb her long hair and apply makeup for her.

She looked at herself in the mirror, a face that was familiar yet unfamiliar. After years of baptism, it still retained its former beauty and elegance.

She sighed softly, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.

She thought: "I know that although I am the queen, I still have to face countless challenges and tests in this deep palace.

However, I firmly believe that my wisdom and courage will enable me to remain invincible in this complex court struggle."

While the queen was lost in thought, Zi Yan hurried into the inner hall and reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen has learned of your return to the palace and has sent someone to deliver a gift and a letter."

The Queen was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Zi Yan, please present the gift and letter! I want to see what Concubine Shen means."

She opened the letter and read it carefully, "Is Concubine Shen unable to sit still now? I will let you see that I am not a little white rabbit."

The corners of the queen's mouth curled up into a meaningful smile. She knew that this competition in the harem had just begun...

In the imperial study, the emperor was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne. His face was calm and his eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything in the world. He gently stroked the jade seal in his hand, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Li Defu." The emperor suddenly spoke in a low and powerful voice, breaking the silence in the study.

"I'm here." Upon hearing the voice, Li Defu hurried forward and bowed. His voice was respectful and humble.

"Is there any news coming from the harem? I want to know what Concubine Shen and the Queen have to say about my enthroning her as Queen." There was an imperceptible concern and expectation in the emperor's words.
