Xiao Man glanced at the Queen and knew what she was thinking. She smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, Queen. I'm not here to persuade you, but what you said makes sense."
The Queen Mother finally couldn't stop asking, looking at the two of them: "What are you talking about? Queen, has the Emperor done something to make you unhappy again?"
The queen smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry. It's nothing. The emperor is fine, and so are I. But from now on, we can't be so peaceful."
As he spoke, he glanced at the person who was walking over. It was none other than Chen Fei Ren Yu, who was also planning to get involved. He came over and bowed directly.
"I greet the Queen Mother and the Empress."
Xiao Man also bowed: "Greetings, Empress Chen Fei."
The Concubine Chen smiled kindly: "So it's the county lady who has entered the palace. No wonder the aunt is in the mood to go out for a walk today! The county lady is really famous."
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow: "Your Highness, I am too kind. If Xiaoman really has this honor, I will be very happy."
The concubine was speechless. You really can't be a little more modest? The queen mother also saw that she was just here to join in the fun.
She and the Queen now represent the real power figures in the harem, and everyone wants to come up and get close to them. The Concubine Chen is her niece, so if she comes, she will naturally stay.
From now on, people in the palace will think that Concubine Chen is also the one they are protecting. Alas, there is really not a single simple woman in the harem. The Queen Mother thought about what Concubine Chen had done.
My heart was chilled, but before I could say anything, I saw another person coming over. Could it be that they had the same idea? The Queen Mother was also old.
Although she was well maintained, her eyesight was a little unclear. It was not until the person came closer that she saw that it was the imperial concubine. She couldn't help feeling depressed.
The imperial concubine also politely saluted the empress dowager and the queen: "I pay my respects to the empress dowager and the queen. What a coincidence that you both thought of being kind today."
"By the way, Your Majesty, you don't look very well. Is it because the Emperor is not in your palace?"
Yesterday was the fifteenth day of the lunar month. According to the rules, the emperor should have gone to the main palace to rest, but the emperor was not there. The imperial concubine even dared to use this to mock the queen. The empress dowager looked unhappy.
No wonder the Queen and Xiaoman didn't tell her just now. After the Imperial Concubine finished speaking, she didn't even wait for the Queen to answer, but looked at Xiaoman and said, "This must be the Princess of Yongxi County."
"The county lady is really arrogant. She didn't even show courtesy to me. By the way, I heard today that the county lady's family was attacked when they went out."
"The county lady is not at home with her family, but she is in the mood to go to the palace to flatter the emperor. She really has a good heart."
Xiaoman twitched the corner of her mouth and looked at the Imperial Concubine: "Greetings to the Imperial Concubine, Yongxi didn't know that the Imperial Concubine's lung capacity is so good that she can talk non-stop."
"Not even giving me a chance to speak, and even turning the tables. But I also want to thank the Imperial Concubine for caring about Yongxi's family. Yongxi's family is very nice."
"It's not something that can be hurt whenever some cats and dogs want to. This is the second time, and the other party still suffered heavy losses. I don't know how many heads like this they have given to Yongxi."
The imperial concubine was almost mad to death. Although the person was not hers, she was still very distressed that Xiaoman had killed him! These words really touched the imperial concubine's heart.
Seeing the change of the Imperial Concubine's expression, Xiaoman was satisfied. Now that he couldn't touch you, it was still okay to make you angry. He looked at the Imperial Concubine and asked, "Why does the Imperial Concubine look so bad?"
"Could it be that something happened last night? Queen, Yongxi in the palace is not well-informed. Did something happen last night that prevented the imperial concubine from having a good rest?"
The Queen laughed and said, "Well, maybe the Imperial Concubine thought that the Emperor would go to her place last night, but the Emperor was resting in the Qinzheng Palace last night and didn't go anywhere."
"It's normal that he didn't come to my palace. After all, the emperor is the emperor, and government affairs are more important. I wonder why the concubine is so happy?"
The imperial concubine was almost mad with anger. She had initially wanted to use this to mock the queen, but now she had been mocked back at him. Moreover, Xiaoman even mocked her as a nobody. She was speechless.
Xiaoman ignored the imperial concubine and looked at the queen and the queen mother: "Your Highness the Queen Mother, Your Highness the Queen, I think it's almost time. Yongxi has something to do at home, so I'll take my leave first."
It seemed that the beast on Gu Xiangning's side was almost annoyed by the emperor and could walk. The empress dowager and the queen naturally did not make things difficult for Xiaoman and let Xiaoman leave directly.
Xiaoman went to find Gu Xiangning, and they left together. As soon as they left the palace, Gu Xiangning looked at Xiaoman with resentment: "Why did you stay in the harem for so long?"
"You don't even know how much the Emperor annoyed me to death!"
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow: "You said the emperor is annoying. Next time I see the emperor, I will tell him."
Hearing this, Gu Xiangning's mouth twitched: "Xiao Man, I'm your future husband! Are you sure you want to treat me like this?"
Xiaoman laughed and said, "Yeah, what's wrong? Oh, I saw the imperial concubine in the harem. It seems that she didn't sleep well last night."
"And I also insulted her, which was a small relief. In addition, I plan to attack the lotus seeds beside her. What do you think?"
"Also, you talked with the emperor for so long, and when I went there, the emperor let you go so easily. What did you say to the emperor?"
Ahem. Hearing Xiaoman's question, Gu Xiangning coughed twice and felt a little embarrassed. He looked at Xiaoman and said, "Do you really want to hear it?"
Xiaoman nodded: "Of course I want to hear it. If you don't want to hear it, why would I ask you? Speaking of which, you're not that good at chasing girls. What good ideas can you come up with?"
So Xiaoman was really curious. Gu Xiangning's mouth twitched. It was obvious that he was being disliked! He glanced at Xiaoman and sighed.
"I just want to tell the emperor that a virtuous woman is afraid of a man who is clinging to her. As long as the emperor is willing, and the queen already has the emperor in her heart, it will be easy to win him back."
"Besides, the Queen is the Emperor's wife. Husband and wife should make peace after quarrelling at the head of the bed, don't you think?"
Xiaoman raised an eyebrow: "Oh, I'm surprised that you can actually think of this! But this idea should work! I don't think the queen seems to have given up on the emperor."
"Pay attention for the next period of time. The emperor is chasing women, or chasing his own wife. This is a fun thing."
Seeing Xiaoman's excitement, Gu Xiangning swallowed his saliva and said, "You are not trying to do something secretly, are you? If the emperor finds out, you will be in big trouble."
"Xiao Man, don't act recklessly just because the emperor favors you."
In fact, Gu Xiangning really hopes that the emperor and the queen will have a harmonious relationship. It would be best if he could feel and discover that he truly loves the queen in his heart.
Xiaoman would be safer if she knew his feelings earlier! Xiaoman didn't know what Gu Xiangning was thinking, so she just said, "What are you thinking?"
"I hope these two get better soon. No matter what, I want the queen to be happy, so I won't mess things up!"
"But just because I don't make trouble doesn't mean others won't. There are so many women in the harem, including imperial concubines, imperial concubines, and even concubines. It's going to be lively."
Gu Xiangning suddenly remembered that there were a lot of beautiful girls in the emperor's harem. It seemed that the emperor's journey to find a wife would be very difficult.
Soon it was nightfall, and Eunuch Su came to the emperor with a sign in his hand: "Your Majesty, it's time for you to turn over the sign."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and looked at Eunuch Su: "I won't turn over the cards today. Let's go to the Queen's Palace to rest."
Eunuch Su was also stunned. It seemed that this rule was set by the Queen. Could it be that the Queen herself wanted to make an exception now? Thinking of this, the corners of Eunuch Su's mouth twitched.
"Your Majesty, the Queen's sign is not here."
The emperor looked at Eunuch Su and said, "Why? I am the queen, so do I need to turn over the cards? Don't you distinguish the positions of the queen and the concubines in the harem?"
Eunuch Su was stunned. When the Queen Mother made this rule, she just wanted to share the favor of the Imperial Concubine. As for herself, she had no intention of gaining favor.
So he didn't think about himself at all, and of course the eunuch didn't think about it either. So the emperor's question really stumped the eunuch, and he was stunned for a moment.
I don’t know what to say: “Well, Your Majesty…”
The emperor waved his hand and said, "That's enough. I will go to the queen tonight. You go and make the arrangements and notify them."
Eunuch Su had no choice but to turn around and leave. After he came out, he was surrounded by a group of palace maids, who asked him questions one by one.
"Eunuch Su, which palace will the emperor go to rest tonight?"
Eunuch Su looked at these palace maids and was speechless, but he still spoke: "Go to the Queen's Palace, all of you go back."
After these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment, but they quickly went back to report the news to their queens. However, most people were comforting themselves.
It must be because the emperor did not go last night, and today he went to compensate the queen. So thinking about it, no one made trouble, and the emperor was waiting for Eunuch Su's reply.
Eunuch Su came back soon: "Your Majesty, the notification has been sent down."
The emperor looked at Eunuch Su and asked, "You are notifying the queen? What expression does the queen have? Is she happy or unhappy?"
Eunuch Su muttered in his heart that there was something wrong with the emperor's style today, but he quickly replied: "The queen's expression is very calm."
"I can't tell whether you are happy or not, but the Empress must be happy that the Emperor can go."
The emperor's mouth twitched. If it were anyone else, he would definitely be happy, but for the queen, that might not be the case. Forget it, things have come to this point.
He will definitely not be allowed to back down. Besides, Gu Xiangning has already said that pestering him will definitely work!
