Chapter 284: The Arrogant Concubine Chen
"If a few ladies like it, the women can also make more pastries in the future. Zhao Qingzao said with a light smile.
As soon as the words fell, Concubine Xiao said: "Young Lady Shen, you are Prime Minister Shen's daughter-in-law, how can we let you work hard to make pastries?"
This Concubine Xiao seems to be a good person to get along with, Zhao Qingzao was about to answer, but who knew that Concubine Chen suddenly said: "Do you live in the Chaofeng Palace now? In addition to the queen mother, you are the second woman who can live in the Chaofeng Palace, maybe one day the emperor will see you, he will make you a concubine, compared to the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, or the concubine in the palace." ”
Concubine Chen said this inexplicably, which made Zhao Qingzao suddenly angry, but although Zhao Qingzao has a strong temperament, she is not an impulsive person, Concubine Chen is also the most favored concubine no matter what, if she offends Concubine Chen, it will be okay if she suffers, if it affects Shen Changting and Xiaocao, then it will be regretted.
For the sake of Shen Changting and Xiaocao, Zhao Qingzao swallowed this breath, except for secretly rolling his eyes and scolding Concubine Chen in his heart, Zhao Qingzao had no other reaction.
"Concubine Chen, what nonsense are you talking about, if Prime Minister Shen knows, what will he think in his heart?" the queen scolded loudly, after all, Concubine Chen's words were too much.
"Hmph, if Prime Minister Shen is not happy, just sue in front of the emperor and see if the emperor helps him or his concubines. Concubine Chen was not afraid at all, and said to the queen triumphantly, as if she intended to show off the emperor's favor to her in front of the queen.
Concubine Chen is too arrogant, Zhao Qingzao looked at her, thinking that fortunately she was not a concubine in the palace, otherwise in the face of a person like Concubine Chen, sooner or later she would be angry to death, relying on the emperor's favor You can be lawless, although the queen is extremely disgusted, but she has nothing to do with Concubine Chen, this is really the most aggrieved thing.
"Concubine Chen, Shen Da has just entered the palace, you don't need to be so aggressive. Concubine Xiao tugged at Concubine Chen's sleeve and then said.
"What's the matter with you? The concubine was unwell, so she retired first. Concubine Chen angrily shook off Concubine Xiao's hand, then stood up again and said coldly to the queen.
As soon as the words fell, Concubine Chen didn't care whether the queen agreed or not, and left the imperial garden directly with her palace maid and eunuch, seeing this, the queen's whole face turned red, probably for the style of the mother of a country, so even if she was angry in her heart, the queen did not show it in front of everyone.
"Queen Mother, Concubine Chen has always been like this, you must not be like her. Concubine Xiao hurriedly persuaded.
"Yes, the more arrogant Concubine Chen is, the more the emperor likes her, even if the emperor knows what happened today, he will not blame Concubine Chen. Lu Jieyu, who had been silent, also interjected.
After listening to what Lu Jieyu said, Zhao Qingzao suddenly thought of a good way in her mind, as long as she returned to the Chaofeng Palace, she could tell the queen the way she had thought of.
was tossed by Concubine Chen like this, and the queen had no intention of continuing to enjoy the flowers, so she took Zhao Qingzao back to the Chaofeng Palace.
"Qingzao girl, you have also seen that Concubine Chen has such a temperament, how can this palace tolerate her to continue to make waves in the harem? It's a pity that the emperor just favors her, no matter what she does wrong, the emperor will not blame her, but will blame this palace for being nosy. The queen seemed to have a stomach full of grievances, and after entering the hall, she sighed, and then said to Zhao Qingzao.
Zhao Qingzao knew that what the queen said was from her heart, and the queen must be depressed enough at this moment, and after talking to her about those words, she also asked her to quickly find a way to deal with Concubine Chen.
"Queen Niangniang, the people have thought of a way, but Concubine Chen has been favored for a long time, and it is not so easy for the queen to regain the emperor's heart, and the way the women think can only make the emperor mention his interest in the mother, and let the emperor come to the Chaofeng Palace more, so that the mother can cultivate more feelings with the emperor. Zhao Qingzao hurriedly said.
Hearing this, of course the queen couldn't wait to know what solution Zhao Qingzao had come up with, so as soon as Zhao Qingzao finished speaking, the queen immediately urged: "Miss Qingzao, tell me what the solution is?"
"The queen mother, although the people have just entered the palace, but they also know that Concubine Chen is arrogant and domineering, but she has been favored by the emperor, and the queen mother is virtuous and virtuous, but she has been ignored by the emperor, and the concubine's hometown has such a sentence, only crying children can eat sugar, so the queen mother might as well put down her identity and be willful and pampered in front of the emperor. Zhao Qingzao said in a deep voice.
After listening to what Zhao Qingzao said, the queen did not speak, but frowned and hesitated, and after a while, the queen looked at Zhao Qingzao with an embarrassed face, and then said: "Miss Qingzao, is there no better way? This palace is not a girl's house for the first time in love, how can you do such a thing? Concubine Chen is just like that, how can this palace be the same as her?"
The queen is indeed not young, so she can't be as pampered as Concubine Chen in her early twenties, so the queen will hesitate and can't do what Zhao Qingzao said.
"Queen Mother, if you believe in people's women, try to be willful in front of the emperor. Zhao Qingzao still insisted that the queen do what she said.
It is estimated that it was because Zhao Qingzao insisted on doing this, so the queen was also a little shaken, and said after a while: "Okay, tonight is the day when the palace sleeps, and then the palace will do what the Qingzao girl said." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao nodded, although the queen had agreed, but Zhao Qingzao was still a little uneasy in her heart, she knew that the queen was not a person to be messed with, if her plan failed, the queen would definitely come to her to ask her about the guilt.
Because the queen is going to sleep tonight, it is inconvenient for Zhao Qingzao to stay in the Chaofeng Palace, and after talking to the queen for a while, Zhao Qingzao returned to his palace.
I can't go anywhere in the palace, Zhao Qingzao can only stay in the palace in a daze, and for some reason I think of Shen Changting and Xiaocao, their father and son don't know how it is now, are they missing themselves?
At this moment, Zhao Qingzao suddenly heard a strange sound from the window, Zhao Qingzao didn't pay attention to it at first, but soon felt that something was wrong, and cautiously walked to the window and stood, Zhao Qingzao actually heard Chu Xingshan's voice.
"Hiking, is it really you?" Zhao Qingzao hurriedly opened the window, and said with a look of surprise after seeing Chu Xingshan hiding outside the window.
Seeing this, Chu Xingshan hurriedly jumped into the hall, and Zhao Qingzao also closed the window, it seemed that Chu Xingshan came to see her secretly, otherwise as a general of the dynasty, Chu Xingshan would not have to do such a sneaky thing.
"It's a trouble that you can't go in and out of this harem casually, and I have to work hard to sneak in. Chu Xingshan said helplessly.
"Hiking, why did you come to see me, nothing happened outside the palace, right?" Zhao Qingzao felt strange, so he hurriedly asked.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Chu Xingshan explained: "What can happen outside the palace, I'm just worried that you won't have a good time in the palace, so I secretly came to visit you, and Brother Shen also asked me to send you a letter, he and Xiaocao are waiting for you to go back in the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”
After speaking, Chu Xingshan took out the letter, and then handed it to Zhao Qingzao, only then did he look at the situation in the hall, Zhao Qingzao looked at the letter in his hand, his nose was sour, and he almost couldn't help crying in front of Chu Xingshan.
Shen Changting must be very worried about her safety now, so he wrote this letter and asked Chu Xingshan to bring it into the palace for her.
"Qingzao, what does the queen want you to do? Why were you left in the palace as soon as you entered the palace? You must not have stayed in the palace voluntarily, right?" Chu Xingshan looked at the situation in the palace and made sure that there was no danger, so he asked Zhao Qingzao.
"How could I voluntarily stay in the palace? I can't wait to leave this ghost place now, and then go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Changting, Xiaocao will be reunited, the queen wants me to help her regain the emperor's heart, if I fail, I guess I won't be able to leave the palace." Zhao Qingzao had a bitter stomach, and it happened that Chu Xingshan was here, so she could also tell the troubles in her heart.
Hearing this, Chu Xingshan frowned, and was about to say something, but who knew that at this moment, Xiao Tianzi's voice came from outside the door.
"Young Lady Shen, who are you talking to?, are you in danger?" asked Xiao Tianzi as he knocked on the door.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Tianzi was outside, Zhao Qingzao and Chu Xingshan looked at each other, and then reacted, the two of them hurriedly walked to the window, and after opening the window, Chu Xingshan hurriedly jumped out of the window and left, and Zhao Qingzao also hurriedly closed the window, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual in the hall, he said: "Father-in-law, I am just reciting poetry, and I have not encountered danger." ”
"I see, it seems that the minions have made a mistake. Xiao Tianzi immediately replied.
After Xiao Tianzi left, Zhao Qingzao breathed a sigh of relief, this palace is really full of dangers, when Xiao Tianzi was outside, she and Chu Xingshan didn't even notice it, it seems that you must be careful when you talk in the palace in the future, and you can't be as careless as today.
Walking to the edge of the bed and sitting down, Zhao Qingzao opened Shen Changting's letter, one of which was full of Shen Changting's thoughts about himself, and the other paper was a family of three drawn by Xiaocao himself.
Looking at the content of the letter, Zhao Qingzao finally couldn't help but shed tears, and after a while, Zhao Qingzao said: "Changting, Xiaocao, I will definitely leave the palace." ”
Tonight is the day when the queen sleeps, because she is worried about the situation in Chaofeng Palace, so Zhao Qingzao can't sleep well all night, and after tossing and turning, she unconsciously fell asleep.
When she woke up on the second day, the first thing Zhao Qingzao did was to get up and dress up, and then go to Chaofeng Hall to meet the queen mother to see what happened last night, even if Zhao Qingzao's plan really failed, she could take the opportunity to take the blame, lest the queen would blame her for all the mistakes at that time.
"Young Lady Shen, are you here so early?" Xiao Tianzi was very surprised to see Zhao Qingzao, and hurriedly asked.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao nodded, and saw that the Chaofeng Hall was still closed, so he asked, "Father-in-law, hasn't the queen mother gotten up yet?
"Young Lady Shen, what could have happened last night? The emperor just left, the slave has been serving the queen for so many years, and it is the first time that I have seen the emperor rest in the Chaofeng Palace for a whole night. Xiao Tianzi's eyes narrowed and said.
