The Empress is Always Unambitious

Chapter 488: Slap in the face

Views:

Everyone responded, and a group of beauties followed the queen out. Those who were chasing her left first, and those who were walking followed behind.

Yang whispered to Zhou who was walking with her, "Sister, look. Concubine Jing is so beautiful."

Zhou twitched the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Yes."

It's a pity that they can only take a look and cannot go to the Queen Mother to pay her respects.

A group of people went to the Queen Mother's palace. The Queen Mother had already asked people to prepare tea and asked everyone to come in and greet them.

Please sit down and sit down. The Queen Mother smiled and said: "They are indeed good children. Queen, you are also lucky."

The Queen smiled: "What the Queen Mother said is that I will be very happy to have a few more sisters to share my worries."

I don't know if she was happy in her heart, but there was no trace of reluctance on the Queen's face when she said this.

The Queen Mother did not speak to the newcomers. She spoke a few words to the Queen, asked about the concubines who had children, and then waved them away.

Even so, it also delayed half the morning. There was no need to go back to Fengzao Palace and they went their separate ways.

Cuiyunxuan is next to Jade Palace, so naturally Shen Chuliu and Li Zhaoyi also walked close to each other.

When they arrived at the door of Cuiyunxuan, Li Zhaoyi came down and said, "My queen, please go slowly. I will go and pay my respects to my queen another day."

"No need, I like peace and quiet." Shen Chuliu said calmly.

Li Zhaoyi lowered his head and didn't say anything. He just watched Bu Zhu leave before entering Cuiyunxuan.

"She's really big. She's just a second-grade concubine, so she's just a little taller than you." Cui Luan said.

Li Zhaoyi sneered: "Sooner or later, this will be gone."

In the Yufu Palace, Chi Su was puzzled: "Why is this happening?"

What she asked was why she wanted to be at odds with Li Zhaoyi.

"Ah? Because it's fun. Concubine Li is too sensible, and Concubine Qianshu has restrained herself now. Concubine Jin is too stupid, and I'm lonely." Shen Chuliu blinked.

Chisu had nothing to say, so he had to wait for her to change her clothes.

"Among the people who came in this time, Yang Yunv has the lowest status. Her father is only an eighth-grade official." Jimei said.

"Yes." Zhemei said while bringing tea: "It is said that when I came in, I brought a small baggage with me. It probably doesn't have anything."

"Well, there are good things and bad things. Let's see, which one can come out ahead?" Shen Chuliu smiled and picked up the tea: "Sometimes it's useless to have a good background. Look at Yi Jieyu, her background is not bad, right? He’s also quiet. He obviously looks good.”

"I learned it all from Concubine Shun," Chi Su whispered.

Shen Chuliu laughed.

Drinking tea in a great mood.

On the third day, as expected, the first place the emperor went to was Cuiyunxuan.

Cuiyunxuan was brightly lit, and Li Zhaoyi was wearing a begonia red skirt and a beautiful bun.

Qi Yixiu smiled and took her hand inside.

However, in this Cuiyun Pavilion, there were indeed many people who had come here before, and Concubine Jing's figure flashed through his mind.

Of course the emperor would not leave because of this, he just smiled, which made Li Zhaoyi think it was all for her.

There was no conversation all night. Early the next morning, Qi Yi got up to go back to court. Li also got up to help him change his clothes.

Before leaving, Qi Yixiu smiled as he left behind the Shoushan stone ornaments displayed in the main room. He remembered what Li said last night that this ornament was not good and that it was a good thing that Concubine Jing did not want to part with.

He walked quickly, pretending that it didn't happen.

Li Zhaoyi didn't have the pampering of the attendants, so she went to greet her in a polite manner on the first day.

There were many people in Fengzao Palace who envied her, but due to her high status, they didn't dare to say much.

Others don't say it, but she herself has to say it.

"Concubine Jing has lived in Cuiyun Pavilion for a long time, and the emperor has been there a lot. Yesterday she was even more familiar with the place than I was."

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt a kind of... subtle and indescribable contempt in their hearts.

Are you starting to show off now

"Why are you so happy when the emperor is sleeping with you, thinking of me?" Shen Chuliu was bitten by a mosquito last night. He didn't sleep well and was already sleepy and angry today.

These words made Mrs. Li dumbfounded for a long time: "What are you talking about..."

"I'm annoyed, please don't mess with me." Shen Chuliu frowned. She was always sharp after putting on makeup. She has held a high position for many years, how can a concubine who has just been granted the title of Zhaoyi compare with her? As soon as you raised your eyebrows, Li Zhaoyi felt frightened.

"Ouch, it seems that Li Zhaoyi didn't do her homework before entering the palace." Concubine Jin laughed: "Our concubine Jing is the most powerful one. It's not good for you to mess with her. I don't even dare to."

Li Zhaoyi smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

The people below seemed to look down upon her. How dare you provoke Concubine Jing

However, there are some people who don't look down on her. Maybe she is not stupid, but is hiding well

After all, you can rest assured that the emperor will pamper a fool, right

Sure enough, the emperor rested at Li Zhaoyi's place for the next few days and had no intention of going anywhere else.

On the ninth day of the fifth lunar month, after greeting Fengzao Palace, Shen Chuliu went to the Imperial Garden without being in a hurry to go back. Yao Baolin was not feeling well during her menstrual period these days, so he asked her to go back first.

Shen Chuliu didn't go shopping for too long. The weather was hot, so he could go shopping now, but it would be too hot if it was later.

Before Shen Chuliu went back, he saw Baoyu coming hurriedly: "Oriole, please go talk to your sisters and save our Baolin."

Oriole was stunned: "What's going on? Don't worry, just tell me, I'll report it."

"Call over." Zhemei looked at Shen Chuliu and nodded.

So there was no need for Oriole to report, and Baoyu came over and said: "Empress, when we Baolin returned, Empress Li Zhaoyi was outside Cuiyun Pavilion. She was fine, and we Baolin were leaving after saying hello. Li Zhaoyi had to say that it was us Baolin who didn't. She took it seriously and punished us, Baolin, to kneel down, and... slapped us twice... We are still kneeling there at this moment. We, Baolin, are not feeling well today, please help me."

"He's seeking death. Okay, you go take care of him first." Shen Chuliu waved his hand.

Baoyu did not dare to say anything, but looked at Shen Chuliu expectantly.

Shen Chuliu said nothing: "Let's go to Tai Chi Palace."

Several people were busy waiting for her to get on the stage, and then they went to Tai Chi Palace.

In the Tai Chi Palace, the emperor heard that Concubine Jing was here and smiled: "Why is she here?"

Shen Chuliu came in to say hello: "Greetings to the Emperor, don't disturb the Emperor."

"What are you talking about, concubine? Come and sit down. It's hot, why are you here?" Qi Yixiu smiled.

"Your Majesty, you are too partial now." Shen Chuliu sat down and frowned.

"Tsk, why did you accuse me when you came here? How did I make my beloved concubine feel wronged? My beloved concubine said, I will vent my anger for you." Qi Yixiu sat down.

"Your Majesty, it's okay to coax Li Zhaoyi. I am already old and I have no choice but to make trouble unreasonably. But Li Zhaoyi has only been in the palace for a few days. Isn't it a bit too much? Come to mess with me. I am a concubine. Just block it and go back. Why did Yao Baolin follow the emperor from his residence? Even if some concubines didn't know it, it wouldn't be a big deal. Otherwise, how could the emperor keep her alive? ?”
