Chapter 367 Burial of the Concubine VS Ruthless Romantic Emperor 15
Here, Jin Xuan hurriedly returned to Fengyi Palace. She bypassed the garden corridor and walked directly into the main hall.
The queen was resting on the couch, with two little maids standing behind her, fanning herself gently.
Hearing the noise, the queen opened her eyes slightly, looked at Jin Xuan who walked in, and asked: "Can I give the reward to noble Qin?"
Jin Xuan was slightly blessed. , said respectfully: "Go back to the Queen, it has been delivered."
She paused, remembering Yu Yao's attitude, and felt a surge of dissatisfaction in her heart, so she said in a more jealous tone: "My Lady, that noble Qin doesn't know how beautiful the world is because of her beauty. I kindly remind her to be cautious in the palace." She was cautious in her words and deeds, but she acted like a mistress, and she seemed to be dissatisfied with the empress in her words."
When the queen heard this, her eyes became sharp in vain, and her voice was slightly cold, "What else did she say? ”
Jin Xuan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, but he was very happy in his heart, feeling that the noble Qin was about to be in bad luck.
So, she added even more jealously: "She also said that although the empress is the Lord of the Sixth Palace, she cannot escape the erosion of time, and she is not as good as the young and beautiful bride."
“She really said that?”
The queen frowned and stared at Jin Xuan who was kneeling on the ground with sharp eyes. She did not believe that there would be such a stupid woman in the harem.
Even if he really thought so in his heart, he would not say it out loud, let alone in front of Jin Xuan.
Jin Xuan’s scalp was numb due to the Queen’s sharp eyes, but he still had the courage to say: “My Lady, everything I said is true. That’s what the noble Qin really said.”
When the queen heard this, instead of getting angry, she withdrew her sharp eyes and raised a smile at the corner of her mouth. That smile contained some deep meaning and calculation.
"Newcomer? Beauty is like a flower, but it also fades away. Jinxuan, let's see how far she can go in this harem."
Jinxuan was stunned. He had never expected that the queen would react like this. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, but he had to bite the bullet and said, "Yes, I am stupid and unable to understand the deep meaning of the empress."
The queen slowly said He sat up slowly, waved his hand, and asked the palace maid behind him to step back. He stared at Jin Xuan, "Tell me, how does the appearance of Noble Qin compare with Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen?"
Jin Xuan did not dare to continue lying, and said cautiously: "It is three points better than Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen."
"It is three points better than Concubine Zhen?"
The Queen said it Repeating these words over and over, he suddenly laughed, "Beautiful but stupid. If you can use it for your own use, it will be a clever move."
Jinxuan heard these words and immediately understood the Queen's plan, feeling regretful in his heart.
She just wants the empress to hate noble Qin and make it difficult for noble Qin to move around in the palace in the future. Why does the empress still want to take it for her own use?
"Mother, Qin Guiren, she"
Jin Xuan looked anxious. She wanted to say that Qin Guiren was not really stupid, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't continue.
She just said bad things about Mr. Qin in front of the empress, making the empress mistakenly think that Mr. Qin has no brains. Now she will say that Mr. Qin is not a stupid person, isn't she slapping herself in the mouth?
"What's the matter?"
The queen frowned and looked at her, "If you have something to say, just say it, why are you hesitating?"
Jin Xuan's face turned pale and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I want to say something. Is the noble man really stupid? Unknown, maybe she pretended to be like this on purpose to confuse the queen's attention."
The queen nodded slightly, "You are right, this matter must be carefully observed."
Guanju Palace.
The light gauze dances gracefully, and the fragrance of flowers is astonishing, but it cannot conceal an inexplicable restlessness.
The afternoon sun shines through the carved window lattice, shining mottledly on Concubine Jade's delicate makeup, adding a bit of anger.
"This queen is really getting better and better at acting."
Concubine Yu held an exquisite round fan and patted her palms gently, her tone full of disdain, "A mere superior. The palace maid is actually worthy of her such praise, what kind of reward should I give?"
When the personal palace maid Fu Rong heard this, she didn't dare to express her anger, for fear of offending the imperial concubine.
Concubine Jade's beautiful eyes flashed with a stern look, and she ordered in a cold voice: "Go to the warehouse to pick some good things and send them to Yihe Palace. Remember to be three points richer than the Queen's reward, lest that Qin nobleman be short-sighted and fall in love with the Queen. Over there."
If it hadn't been for the late emperor's marriage, the position of queen would never have fallen to her eldest grandson Ningyan.
As a result, when I entered the East Palace, I could only be a good lady, and I was shorter than the old woman.
Even if her cousin makes her a concubine after he ascends the throne, no matter how noble the concubine is, she is still not his wife. In the final analysis, she is still a concubine.
“Yes, the imperial concubine.”
Furong responded respectfully and quickly took the order to deliver the reward.
As soon as Furong went out, she heard a rush of footsteps entering the hall.
“Your Majesty, it’s not good.”
A young eunuch rushed in in a panic and knelt down on the ground, “My Majesty, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the Queen has an order. If any palaces break porcelain again in the future, they will not be reissued and they will have to purchase it themselves."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yu's face instantly turned livid, and the fan in her hand slammed onto the table, making a "bang" sound.
"Changsun Ningyan, you bitch, you are using chicken feathers as an arrow, do you think I can't cure you?"
She gritted her teeth, stood up, and walked back and forth in the palace. , and kept cursing: "This old woman is deliberately targeting me, you deserve to die." Concubine Yu was furious, and ordered the maid Haitang beside her: "Let's go to Cining Palace, I want to see the Queen Mother's aunt for comment. ”
“Yes, your concubine”
Haitang did not dare to say anything, so she responded respectfully and followed closely.
At the same time, in Ningshuang Palace and Yingyue Palace, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li each received news that the Queen had sent rewards to Qin Guiren.
Bian also ordered people to send rewards to Yu Yao.
However, they are not as bold as Concubine Jade, who dare to openly provoke the Queen.
Instead, he told the maids around him that the rewards he gave were three points less than those given by the queen, and could not exceed those of the queen.
With the Queen, Concubine Jade, Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Li sending rewards, other concubines in the palace also sent rewards to Yu Yao.
Of course, those with lower status than Yu Yao cannot be called rewards, but can only be called gifts.
In the Yihe Hall, Yu Yao received the gift mercilessly. Instead of feeling happy, she felt very bored inside.
She didn’t dare to use the things these women gave her. She didn’t know if there were any additives in them.
She doesn’t have the spare time to test them one by one.
"Hu Bo, throw these things in the corner of the warehouse, separate them with something, and don't take them out for anything else."
Yu Yao told Hu Bo who was busy at the side.
Although Amber felt a little pity, they were all good things, but thinking that it was a gift from the concubine, she looked wary.
Even, she didn't dare to touch those things, so she wrapped them in a clean cloth and put them in the warehouse, shielding her breathing throughout the process, for fear of inhaling something bad.
Royal study room.
Emperor Jing heard that all the women in the harem gave gifts to Yu Yao, and he was very satisfied when he knew that the queen was the one who took the lead.
Although it is the custom in the palace, at least on the surface it seems that the harem is harmonious.
"Come, go to the warehouse to pick some good things to send to noble Qin, and tell her that I will go and see her in the evening."
Sitting in front of the imperial case to deal with the memorial, Emperor Jing suddenly said Lu Xi, who was waiting on the side, said.
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Lu Xi received the order and went down.
But I was thinking in my heart that the emperor seemed to favor Qin Gui, but he also pushed Qin Gui to the forefront, which was not a good thing for Qin Gui.
He came to the warehouse, selected some precious and beautiful jewelry cloth according to Qin Guiren's preference, ordered the young eunuchs to pack them carefully, and then took people to Yihe Palace to present the rewards.
The east side hall of Yihe Hall.
Yu Yao leaned on the couch and fell asleep with her eyes closed, and the room was quiet.
At this moment, Liuli hurriedly walked in, glanced at the young master who was sleeping on the couch, and said respectfully: "My young master, Eunuch Lu Xi, who is beside the emperor, is here."
She opened her eyes, her gaze Looking at Liuli, "Where is he?" "
Liu Li glanced at her and said respectfully: "We have arrived at the door of Yihe Palace."
She nodded slightly, got up from the couch, straightened her clothes, and saw that there was nothing wrong. Then he walked out.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw Lu Xi walking in with several young eunuchs. Each of the young eunuchs was holding a tray covered with red silk. It was difficult to see what was inside. thing.
"How come my father-in-law is free to come here today? But what is the emperor's order?"
Yu Yao greeted him with a smile on his face.
Lu Xi stopped in front of her, greeted her respectfully, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Qin, the Emperor is thinking of you, and has specially ordered his servants to select some good things from the warehouse and send them to you."< br>
As he said that, he asked the little eunuch behind him to uncover the red silk. It was full of precious jewelry and fabrics. The jewelry was beautiful and exquisite, and the colors of the cloth were also very bright.
She glanced hastily and quickly looked away. She was in a good mood and blessed her body. "Thank you, father-in-law. Please thank the emperor for me."
Lu Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will tell the emperor."
After saying this, he suddenly came forward and whispered in Yu Yao's ear: "My lord, the emperor said that he would come to see you in the evening. Please make preparations as soon as possible."
Her face turned red, and she showed joy at the right time, and said excitedly: "Thank you, father-in-law, for telling me, I understand."
She used it on Amber. A look.
Hu Hu understood the idea and stuffed a purse into it with a smile, "My father-in-law has been working hard all the way. Please treat my father-in-law to tea with these."
Lu Xi knew that this was the rule in the palace, so he did not refuse and accepted it naturally.
He had another conversation with Yu Yao and left with the others.
