Liao Qingqing still stood with his eyes lowered slightly.
Slim body.
Upright posture.
It seems to be indifferent and well-behaved, but in fact, it is a group of panic inside!
She answered questions based on her years of social and animal experience.
I don't know what the empress dowager thinks
Will there be a sentence "Bold! Dare to quibble"
She waited anxiously.
Suddenly I heard the Queen Mother say alienatedly, "Sit down."
Liao Qingqing looked at the Queen Mother in surprise.
?
Is this the end
Liao Qingqing was surprised.
Emperor Jingli took a deep breath.
Concubine Liang can't believe it
Did the queen mother just let Liao Qingqing go
Aren't there any lessons to be learned
Concubine Liang Gui felt unhappy and gritted her teeth secretly. She had very little contact with the queen mother. She didn't know what the queen mother meant. She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, and was even more dissatisfied with Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing sat down carefully.
It felt as if I had escaped death.
But she did not relax at all, and lowered her eyes slightly.
The next words and deeds are very in line with the character of "Xi Xiurong".
until the end of breakfast.
The queen mother was going to recite the scriptures, so they went back separately.
Liao Qingqing followed closely behind Liang Guifei's Concubine De.
After leaving the Jubilee Palace, they saluted Emperor Jingli together with Concubine Liang Gui.
Emperor Jingli glanced at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing still lowered her head.
The corner of Emperor Jingli's mouth lifted invisibly, turned his head to look at Concubine Liang Gui and the others, and said with a smile, "The empress dowager's greeting has been completed, although today is the first day of the New Year, but the weather is freezing cold and you are fragile, Don't stay here any longer, let's go back and have fun."
"Yes." Liang Guifei and others said.
Emperor Jingli took Liao Qingqing's hand and said, "Let's go."
Concubine Liang's expression immediately stiffened.
Emperor Jingli didn't look at Concubine Liang and others, and dragged Liao Qingqing towards Lisheng Pavilion.
Walk for a while.
Liao Qingqing just stepped out of the pattern of "Xi Xiurong meets the Empress Dowager".
She turned to look at Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli immediately thought of Liao Qingqing's "confession" just now. This was the first time he had heard a true confession from a woman when he grew up. Like a mother accompanying his father, he accompanied the emperor attentively, read the emperor's words, and listened to the emperor. The sound of the piano, the painting of the emperor.
how simple.
how wonderful.
As expected, it was said by the beautiful Xi Xiurong.
His heart was filled with honey, his eyes were almost overflowing with sweetness, he couldn't help but lowered his voice and asked, "Are you scared?"
"Yeah." Liao Qingqing nodded.
Living in the 21st century where everyone is equal, occasionally encountering men and women with strong aura, she can be neither humble nor arrogant, but the aura of the queen mother is too strong.
"Don't be afraid." Emperor Jingli said softly.
Liao Qingqing looked at Emperor Jingli suspiciously.
Emperor Jingli smiled and said, "I am here."
"But the queen mother is the mother of the emperor." This made people have to bow their heads.
Emperor Jingli asked back, "So you are older than me?"
Liao Qingqing hurriedly said, "That's not what the concubine meant."
Emperor Jingli followed and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
"The concubine fears and respects the queen mother."
"It's nice to say. When the queen mother asked the question, which one was sweating from the nose?"
"Is your nose sweating?" Liao Qingqing had the problem of sweating on her nose when she was really nervous and scared.
"Otherwise it's me?" Emperor Jingli asked back.
Liao Qingqing touched his nose and said, "Your Majesty, you are so attentive."
"Don't brag, go, go back to breakfast."
"Your Majesty, aren't you full?"
"You haven't eaten enough."
"Your Majesty, you are really attentive."
In the Jubilee Palace, the Queen Mother did not move the chopsticks, and Concubine Liang did not move the chopsticks. She did not dare to move. The Empress Dowager and Concubine Liang were both birds' stomachs, so she was not full.
"Read more books, you won't praise me if you praise me."
"it is good."
Holding hands, the two walked forward step by step on the snow.
Not far away, Concubine Liang's chest heaved up and down, and it was difficult to calm down.
But Jingli Emperor Liao Qingqing didn't even see it, and the two went to Lisheng Pavilion.
Had another breakfast.
Liao Qingqing originally wanted to build a snowman.
As a result, it snowed again outside.
She had to sit on the soft couch and start flipping through the collection of paintings. They were all well-known painters in the Wei Dynasty, but she couldn't understand it, and her eyes couldn't help but focus on Emperor Jingli opposite.
Emperor Jingli put down the book and asked, "Have you really started to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
Liao Qingqing nodded.
"For the Queen Mother?"
"Not at all."
"Actually, there is no shortage of concubines in the palace who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. You only need to know a little bit. Anyway, no matter what you do, the queen mother will find your shortcomings."
"why?"
"Because of me."
"There is a conflict between the emperor and the queen mother?"
"Um."
"What holiday?"
Emperor Jingli's eyes flickered slightly, looking straight at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing was suddenly startled and asked carefully, "Your Majesty, did the concubine ask questions that shouldn't be asked?"
Emperor Jingli smiled, didn't mind, and said, "The Heavenly family has no father and son, and the Heavenly family has no mother and son. When I first ascended the throne, I was constrained by various forces in the DPRK and China, including the Queen Mother's family. I was cautious at first. Later, they were smashed with drastic measures, and the Queen Mother's family was also in a state of collapse, so the Queen Mother and I had a rivalry."
"The emperor won?" Liao Qingqing asked.
Emperor Jingli nodded and said, "Well, since then, the relationship between the Empress Dowager and I broke down. At the most tense time, she killed one of my personal eunuchs. I was extremely angry and made a scene at the Jubilee Palace."
"Then, did the queen mother go to another courtyard angrily?"
"Um."
"Is the relationship between the empress dowager and the emperor still bad?"
"right."
"That, that—"
"Then what?"
"Will the Queen Mother get angry and beat her concubine to death?"
"Impossible!" Emperor Jingli suddenly exclaimed.
Liao Qingqing was startled.
Emperor Jingli also realized his gaffe, and quickly explained: "The queen mother is not such a person. The death of the eunuch was also an accident."
Mother and son after all.
Still protecting my mother.
Liao Qingqing understands!
Emperor Jingli continued: "You don't have to be afraid of her, just like when you greeted her today, you said it well, follow her on the face, and actually have your own position."
Liao Qingqing nodded.
"Come on, I'll teach you to look at paintings."
"Um."
I agreed to look at the paintings, but I ended up playing the guqin, playing Go, and writing calligraphy. This day just passed,
For the next few days, Emperor Jingli seemed to be relatively idle. Whenever he was free, he grabbed Liao Qingqing to make up for the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even the Lantern Festival was spent guessing lantern riddles, which was really boring.
Soon it is spring.
Liao Qingqing thought that the Empress Dowager had entered the chanting mode and ignored the worldly affairs. As a result, she had just had breakfast when the Empress Dowager Chang, who was beside the Empress Dowager, came over.
"Old slave, see Xi Xiurong." Mother Chang saluted.
Liao Qingqing dared to let the red people around the queen dowager salute, she quickly stepped forward to support Chang mama, and asked: "Chang mama, don't be polite, please come over, I wonder what the old queen mother has ordered?"
"Returning to Xi Xiurong, it's not an order, but the queen mother has been chanting scriptures recently, and she is inevitably a little depressed. She wants to find someone to talk to. She said that Xi Xiurong is the only one in the entire harem who can't play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is not a female celebrity. Order the old slave to invite Xi Xiurong to the Shouxi Palace."
?
What's the meaning
Is she the only idler in the entire harem
Isn't it bad to be idle
Why do you look disrespectful
She is so proud!
So he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go with you now."
Aunt Chang was stunned.
The Queen Mother's words were full of irony.
Why is Xi Xiurong not annoyed at all
Can't understand or what
Madam Chang couldn't help being cautious towards Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing is not as much as Changmao thinks.
She tidied up her clothes a little, and followed Momo Chang to the Jubilee Palace.
As soon as I entered the Jubilee Palace, I saw the Queen Mother sitting in the courtyard admiring the flowers.
"See the Queen Mother." Liao Qingqing saluted respectfully.
The queen mother didn't even look at Liao Qingqing, and asked in a cold voice, "I'm here so soon. What were you doing when Mother Chang went to look for you?"
Liao Qingqing lowered her eyes and replied, "Back to the empress dowager, the concubine was reading at the time."
"What book do you read?"
"It's the Great Wei Yuzhi that the emperor ordered his concubines to read."
"Oh, the emperor let you read such a book?"
"Yes, the emperor said that such a book can broaden one's horizons."
The queen mother was noncommittal and asked again, "What is the emperor doing now?"
"I don't know about concubines." Liao Qingqing told the truth.
The queen mother wiped the dust off a leaf with a handkerchief, turned to look at Liao Qingqing, and asked in a stern voice, "How do you serve the emperor?"
"The concubines and concubines are all serving the emperor in Lisheng Pavilion."
"Bold! You dare to play word games with Aijia!"
?
How could this empress dowager make trouble unreasonably, even more serious than Emperor Jingli
She is telling the truth!
How did it become a word game
It's really picky!
This, this, this... Liao Qingqing suddenly felt that Emperor Jingli's temperamental temperament was very much like the empress dowager in front of him, and at this time, the moody and vexatious Emperor Jingli was in the imperial study.
"Reporting to the emperor, this year's crops are growing well. If the weather is beautiful and the rain is on time, it will be a bumper year." Minister of the Household said.
After hearing this, Emperor Jingli nodded: "I understand, the second day of the second month of the second lunar month will be held as scheduled, no matter if it's windy or rainy."
"Yes."
Discuss with Minister Keibu for another half an hour.
Emperor Jingli opened a memorial and called the Minister of War.
I took the military officer to the training ground and experimented with new weapons.
It was already noon.
Recently, Emperor Jingli has been with Liao Qingqing every day, holding hands and hugging each other.
He had forgotten that he had a head problem.
However, he developed the habit of going to Lisheng Pavilion every day.
After waving back the Minister of War, he brought Fusheng to Lisheng Pavilion.
Thinking that Liao Qingqing didn't know where to be lazy.
He must punish her well.
"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan'an." He Xiang and other palace maids hurriedly greeted him.
Emperor Jingli looked around and asked, "Where's your Master Xi?"
He Xiang said: "Go back to the emperor, the master had just had breakfast in the morning, and the mother Chang came to call the master to the Shouxi Palace to chat with the queen mother."
Emperor Jingli was surprised: "Morning? Did you go to the Jubilee Palace?"
"Yes." He Xiang replied.
"Why didn't you go?" Emperor Jingli wondered.
"Mother Chang said that the queen mother is happy and do not let the slaves keep up." In the morning, He Xiang habitually followed Liao Qingqing, but as a result, Mother Chang refused, Liao Qingqing asked He Xiang to wait in Lisheng Pavilion.
"Xi Xiurong didn't bring a maid?"
"No."
Emperor Jingli continued to ask, "She never came back?"
"No."
Hearing this, Emperor Jingli's face sank.
Thinking of Liao Qingqing's sentence that day, "Will the old lady get angry and beat her concubine to death?", he was horrified.
Without saying a word, he turned around and walked out of Lisheng Pavilion.
He Xiang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became afraid.
Master will be fine, right
When Emperor Jingli was rushing towards the Shouxi Palace, Concubine Liang Guifei had already arrived at the gate of the Shouxi Palace. She heard that Liao Qingqing had entered the Shouxi Palace in the morning.
Didn't come back in the morning.
She knew that the Empress Dowager was at odds with Emperor Jing Li, and that the Empress Dowager had once killed the eunuch Jing Li wanted, so she might attack Liao Qingqing now.
She was eager to find out.
But I couldn't just go in a big way, maybe it would make the queen mother annoyed, so I spent a lot of money to have the imperial kitchen make Bazhen soup, and I waited until noon before coming.
Just to see Liao Qingqing's jokes!
See you soon!
She was a little excited, straightened her clothes, took the food box from the palace servant, and was about to enter the Jubilee Palace, when she suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing by her side, and she looked intently.
It was Emperor Jingli.
Before she could speak, Emperor Jingli had already entered the Jubilee Palace with a flustered expression on his face.
Could it be that something happened to Liao Qingqing
Concubine Liang Gui was delighted and quickly followed Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli had already walked into the front yard, and before waiting for the maids to salute, he asked eagerly, "Where's the Queen Mother?"
Mother Chang replied with a bow: "Go back to the emperor, the empress dowager is planting flowers."
"Where to plant flowers?"
"In the backyard, the old slave takes the emperor up."
"No need, I'll go by myself!"
Mother Chang was stunned.
Without giving Mother Chang a chance to express herself, Emperor Jing Li strode towards the backyard.
Concubine Liang hurriedly followed.
As soon as Emperor Jingli entered the backyard, he saw a straight bluestone road with various potted saplings planted on the left and right sides. There was no queen mother at all, let alone Liao Qingqing.
"Queen Mother!" Emperor Jingli was a little nervous and shouted loudly, "Queen Mother! Queen Mother!"
"Oh." At this time, a distant voice came from behind a half-person-high bonsai, and then the Queen Mother stood up slowly with her waist supported, and turned to look at Emperor Jingli: "The emperor is here."
Emperor Jingli couldn't wait to ask: "Queen Mother, where is Xi Xiurong?"
"Are you here to find Xi Xiurong?" The Queen Mother asked slowly.
"Where is she?" Emperor Jingli asked anxiously.
"Where is she?" The Queen Mother looked behind her.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is here." Liao Qingqing's brisk voice came.
Jingli Emperor Liang Guifei looked for the sound together, and saw a slender figure standing up behind the Queen Mother, wearing a white hat on her head.
"Qingqing!" Emperor Jing Li quickly stepped forward and tore off the hood: "What are you wearing this thing for? Are you injured, afraid that I will see it?"
Emperor Jingli looked at Liao Qingqing's face.
Liao Qingqing replied, "Your Majesty, the concubine is not injured."
"Then why are you wearing a hat?" Emperor Jingli asked in confusion.
"An insect bit me."
"What bugs? Who raised them?" Emperor Jingli asked anxiously.
"No one raised it. Wild."
"Wild?" Emperor Jingli felt something was wrong.
"Well, there are many kinds of flowers and plants here. It's humid and shady. It's where mosquitoes grow. They like to bite people." Liao Qingqing turned her head and asked, "The Empress Dowager, don't you think?"
"Xi Xiurong is right." The Queen Mother's voice was still alienated, but her answer was very natural. She looked at Emperor Jingli and asked, "Emperor, where did you go? Do you think the Aijia wants to hurt Xi Xiurong? "
Emperor Jingli: "???" Isn't it
Concubine Liang: "???"
The author has something to say:-
Emperor Jingli: I think too much
Concubine Liang: Ben Gong thinks more.
Liao Qingqing: Yes (nods obediently)
