Chapter 285: Idea
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao was finally relieved, it seems that her idea for the queen is quite effective, otherwise the emperor, who has always respected the queen like a guest, would not stay in the Chaofeng Palace, so it seems that Zhao Qingzao only needs to help the queen think of a few more ways, and he will soon be able to leave the palace and reunite with Shen Changting and Xiaocao.
"That's what happened, no wonder my father-in-law was so happy. Zhao Qingzao also said with a smile.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, Xiao Tianzi hurriedly said: "Young Lady Shen, this is still your credit, if you didn't help the queen mother, the emperor would not stay in the Chaofeng Palace, and when the queen mother woke up, she would definitely reward Young Lady Shen." ”
Zhao Qingzao has made a meritorious service, and he will definitely be a big celebrity in front of the queen in the future, Xiao Tianzi is a clever ghost, how could he not know this, so take advantage of this opportunity, he also has to say more good things, and Zhao Qingzao is close to it.
Zhao Qingzao was not interested in the reward, she just wanted to get out of the palace as soon as possible, and then reunite with Shen Changting and Xiaocao, remembering that she had lived in the palace for several days, Zhao Qingzao's good mood suddenly disappeared, and she showed a depressed look again.
Xiao Tianzi had been looking at Zhao Qingzao, so he could see Zhao Qingzao's reaction clearly, and after finding that Zhao Qingzao was not very happy, Xiao Tianzi hurriedly asked, "Young Lady Shen, aren't you happy? Or did you think of something else?"
"It's nothing, father-in-law doesn't have to worry. Zhao Qingzao didn't say anything, she said casually, she is not a fool, so she won't tell Xiao Tianzi what is in her heart, otherwise as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Tianzi turned her head and went to complain to the queen.
Xiao Tianzi opened his mouth and was about to say something, but at this moment, the queen's voice came from the hall, I don't know when the queen got up, and I even knew that Zhao Qingzao was waiting outside.
"Xiao Tianzi, is Young Lady Shen outside, let her in. The queen said with a smile.
Just hearing the queen's voice, Zhao Qingzao guessed that she must be in a very good mood now, since the queen let her in, Zhao Qingzao did not twist and pinch, but walked into the hall generously.
The queen was still wearing a bedclothes, and when she heard footsteps, she turned around to look at Zhao Qingzao, and Zhao Qingzao was lowering her head at the moment, waiting for the queen to speak first.
"Qingzao girl, you should know about the emperor's stay in Chaofeng Palace, this palace did what you said last night, I was worried that the emperor would be angry and left, but I didn't expect the emperor to be surprisingly gentle, and stayed in Chaofeng Hall unusually, this palace just woke up today, and immediately thought of Qingzao girl, if it weren't for you this time, the emperor would not have changed his opinion of the palace. With a smile on her face, the queen put away her previous aggressiveness and said to Zhao Qingzao.
When the queen said this, Zhao Qingzao couldn't be happy, because the queen didn't plan to let her return to the prime minister's mansion at all, and who knows how long the queen would let her stay in the palace? Could it be that she would have to live for a year and a half? Thinking like this, Zhao Qingzao's heart became even more depressed.
"The queen, this is what the women should do, but the women miss their husbands and sons very much, if the queen thinks that the women have made meritorious contributions this time, let the women go out of the palace to see their husbands and sons. Zhao Qingzao hesitated for a while, but finally decided to give it a try, and immediately said to the queen.
As soon as the words fell, the smile on the queen's face disappeared without a trace, seeing this, Zhao Qingzao was annoyed, thinking that he was really too impulsive, the queen was still very happy, but now she has a cold face, and she will not let Zhao Qingzao out of the palace.
"Qingzao girl, this palace knows that you are reluctant to stay in the palace, this time you have established your merits, but this palace still can't let you out of the palace. The queen walked up to Zhao Qingzao and said directly.
It seems that Zhao Qingzao guessed correctly, the queen really won't let her out of the palace easily, and the words she said boldly just now can't be taken back, so Zhao Qingzao also gritted her teeth and said: "Queen Mother, if the folk woman lets you conceive the dragon seed, you can let the folk woman out of the palace." ”
The queen and the emperor have been married for a long time, but they have never been pregnant with the dragon species, and the reason why the queen is so anxious is because the other concubines in the palace have given birth to princes and princesses for the emperor, but she doesn't even have a son and a daughter. Seeing that Concubine Chen is becoming more and more favored, it will even threaten her status, in case she is pregnant with the dragon seed again, the emperor will definitely crown her as a concubine, and the child she gave birth to will also be made the crown prince.
How could the queen tolerate such a thing, so after learning that Zhao Qingzao helped the Seventh Princess solve Chi Fenglai, the queen would let Zhao Qingzao enter the palace, and then take the opportunity to keep Zhao Qingzao in the palace, just to let Zhao Qingzao give her ideas to see if she could conceive the dragon seed.
Zhao Qingzao knew what the queen wanted most, so as soon as she opened her mouth, she said what the queen wanted, and sure enough, when she heard Zhao Qingzao say this, the queen was immediately stunned, and then she didn't speak.
"Queen Mother, the women will definitely take care of their mouths, so no matter what you want to say, the women will keep it a secret for you. Zhao Qingzao knew that the queen was not at ease, so he said to the queen again.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, the queen said: "Qingzao girl, this palace really wants to conceive a dragon seed, if you can make this palace not get pregnant for half a month, this palace will also talk and let you leave the palace." ”
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzao hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a confident smile: "Queen Mother, the women will definitely do their best to make you pregnant with the dragon seed, as long as the Queen Mother does what the women say, the emperor will definitely come to the Chaofeng Palace often." ”
The queen seemed to be very satisfied with what Zhao Qingzao said, and soon said with a smile on her face: "Miss Qingzao, what should this palace do next?"
Zhao Qingzao had already thought about what to do, so she immediately whispered a few words in the queen's ear, telling the queen all the plans she had thought of, and after the queen listened, she also nodded in agreement, and asked Zhao Qingzao to go to the imperial dining room to cook some delicious home-cooked dishes for her, and when the emperor came, she could take this opportunity to make the emperor feel that she was a virtuous queen who knew the suffering of the people and thought about the people.
Sure enough, the emperor still stayed in the Chaofeng Palace on the second night, and became more and more affectionate with the queen, the palace is a place where secrets cannot be hidden, and the news of the queen's favor soon spread throughout the palace.
After learning about this, Zhao Qingzao took the opportunity to let Xiao Tianzi spread rumors in the palace, saying that Concubine Chen was extravagant and didn't know how to be considerate of the emperor, so she ran to the emperor and cried and made trouble, which would only add chaos to the emperor, and the same was true of the demon concubines of the previous dynasty, so it would cause the people of the previous dynasty to complain a lot about the emperor and the demon concubine.
The rumors soon spread throughout the palace, and the emperor naturally heard these rumors, although he knew that Concubine Chen was just a little willful, but he didn't know why, the more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that Concubine Chen was just like the rumors said, if she continued to be favored, maybe one day she would become a lawless demon concubine.
Because of the rumors, Concubine Chen was quickly snubbed by the emperor, in fact, there were not many rumors in the palace, but they did not stir up much turmoil, but this time the rumors hit the right time, so it has invisible lethality, and it is not surprising that Concubine Chen will fall out of favor because of this.
After Concubine Chen fell out of favor. The queen has become the most favored person in the palace, the emperor often stays in the Chaofeng Palace, in addition to staying overnight, he will also eat with the queen, and often praise the home-cooked side dishes in the Chaofeng Hall are better than the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the imperial dining room, if he knows that these home-cooked side dishes are made by Zhao Qingzao, I don't know what he will think in his heart.
Zhao Qingzao stood in front of the window and was stunned, half a month has passed, the queen is still not pregnant with the dragon seed, and she can't leave the palace for a long time, if she hadn't secretly asked the imperial doctor, Zhao Qingzao really doubted whether the queen had infertility, otherwise the emperor stayed in the Chaofeng Palace almost every night, why didn't she get pregnant with the dragon seed?
"Green dates. At this moment, Chu Xingshan suddenly appeared outside the window, and when he saw Zhao Qingzao standing in front of the window in a daze, he whispered.
Seeing this, Zhao Qingzao hurriedly asked Chu Xingshan to jump into the palace, and Chu Xingshan often came to see her secretly in the past half month, because Shen Changting and Xiaocao would write letters to Zhao Qingzao every day, and Chu Xingshan often entered the palace, so Chu Xingshan helped to pass the message for their family.
"Qingzao, it's been half a month since you came to the palace, and the queen still refuses to let you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion? If she locks you up again, I will tell the emperor about this, why should my sister-in-law let the queen be locked up in the palace?" After Chu Xingshan handed the letter to Zhao Qingzao, he asked angrily.
"The queen is the mother of a country, if you go against her, there will be no good fruit to eat at that time, anyway, she has promised me that as long as she is pregnant with the dragon seed, she will let me out of the palace, so just be patient and wait for a while. After Zhao Qingzao put the letter away, he sighed, and then said to Chu Xingshan.
Although the days in the palace were very boring, and she also missed Shen Changting and Xiaocao very much, and wanted to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible, but the queen was still very good to her, and she could also exchange secret recipes with Zhang Yuchu, thinking about it carefully, it was not all a bad thing for her to stay in the palace, so she could still endure it for a while if she gritted her teeth.
Hearing Zhao Qingzao say this, although Chu Xingshan was still angry, after nodding, he didn't say anything more.
"By the way, since you lived in the palace, Chi Fenglai and Shen Changque often went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make trouble, saying that Bai Qingwei still lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so they wanted to take Bai Qingwei away, so every few days, the Prime Minister's Mansion would be in trouble, Shen Kaiyuan and Brother Shen had no choice but to let them make trouble in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if you were in the Mansion, you would definitely be able to drive Chi Fenglai and Shen Changque away. At this moment, Chu Xingshan suddenly remembered a very important matter, so he hurriedly said to Zhao Qingzao.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhao Qingzao left the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chi Fenglai, who received the news, dared to swagger into the Prime Minister's Mansion to make trouble, Shen Changting even had, his temperament has always been cold, and he will not quarrel with others, so he definitely can't deal with Chi Fenglai and Shen Changque, the two shameless guys, but what is the matter with Shen Kaiyuan? He has already taken a leave of absence from Chi Fenglai, can he not cope with Chi Fenglai and Shen Changque as the Prime Minister?
