Chapter 593: Trying hot and cold with no hands
Concubine Rong couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw that the queen was already anxious at this time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
She walked up to the queen, gently held the queen's arm and said, "Queen Mother, you don't have to worry first, my sister is here, isn't it to accompany you to find a way?" ”
The queen turned her head and glanced at Concubine Rong, and her expression was a little relieved: "Also, my sister is resourceful, and she must have come prepared today." ”
Concubine Rong lowered her head and smiled lightly: "Niangniang has won the award, my sister's carving insect skills, how can it be compared with your great wisdom, this harem has always been your world, and my sister is just an assistant, and occasionally comes up with ideas." ”
Concubine Rong's just right welcome made the queen quite useful. She smiled slightly and said, "You, you were born with such a clever mouth." Not to mention that the emperor loves you gently and lovely, even if I don't listen to you come over and say a few words in this palace for a few days, I feel uncomfortable! ”
At this time, Qu Jun walked in from outside the hall at the right time, holding some pastries and two fragrant teas: "The two ladies have been chatting for a while, and they are a little tired when they think about it." The old slave prepared some dim sum and cloud tea from southern Xinjiang, and asked the ladies to be more advanced. ”
After hearing this, the queen nodded: "You are an old slave who can do things." Concubine Rong is from southern Xinjiang, and the palace happened to recruit a few new cooks from there at this time, who are good at making pastries, and the palace tastes good. My sister is a connoisseur, why don't you taste a little bit and see if it's authentic? ”
Concubine Rong hurriedly got up and saluted: "Thank you for the food." The concubine was flattered. ”
The queen was quite satisfied with Concubine Rong's respect for herself, and in front of such a courtesy, she had an outstanding sense of superiority. Although Song Yunyang is also so polite in front of her, she is never satisfied with Song Yunyang, firstly, because Song Yunyang always has a cold temperament, which makes people always have a sense of distance. Second, Song Yunyang never gave her advice and told her how to deal with those disobedient concubines.
Comparing these two, Concubine Rong's advantages are revealed. Concubine Rong has a sweet mouth and is well-behaved, making the queen feel comfortable and superior everywhere. Not only does he always give the queen ideas to let her clean up those disobedient concubines, but she can also often remind the queen what upcoming unrest she should pay attention to. Such a talent, whether it is now or in the future, when the king of alcohol competes for the prince, is a usable right-hand man.
After a little pastry and a little tea, Concubine Rong praised: "Although my sister grew up in southern Xinjiang, she has never eaten such a sweet and smooth lotus seed cake. ”
After the queen also used a little mille-feuille jujube mud roll, she put down the small golden fork in her hand, and waved her hand gently, and the palace maid who had already waited at the door came over with a silk towel for cleaning her hands, jasmine water and a basin for rinsing her mouth.
After the queen and Concubine Rong finished cleaning, the palace maid put on two more cups of honey fragrant fruit tea, and took a soft cushion of goose-yellow flower miscellaneous treasure pattern dark flower silk, and put it on the queen's body for testing, and then quietly retreated.
The queen leaned lazily on the cushion, and her fingers stroked the round lid of the pastel tea cup, as if trying the temperature: "This palace feels that the temperature is still a little hot now, and drinking it directly may burn your lips." I don't know what my sister thinks of this hot and cold now? ”
Concubine Rong glanced up at the queen's use, and knew that she was a pun. So, Concubine Rong didn't test the temperature with her fingers, but directly opened the lid of the teacup and tasted it, saying, "My sister thinks that if you want to know what the temperature is, the best way is to try it yourself." While there are risks involved, it's the most straightforward and effective. Queen Mother, you see, after my sister drank it, isn't it also good, is it okay? ”
"That's good." The queen's tone seemed to be very casual: "But, has my sister ever thought about what to do if she drinks it and gets burned?" Likely to end up in disarray? Is it worth taking this risk for the sake of momentary pleasure? ”
"The queen lady is high." Concubine Rong slowly put down the teacup in her hand: "It's just that there are many people in the world who are not afraid of death, and the more humble they are, the more daring they are." They don't have many chips in their hands, and they may be able to win back a lifetime of glory and wealth if they fight, even if they lose, but the lowly identity is confirmed again, and they can not care about it at all. ”
Concubine Rong's words directly poked the queen's heart, the queen's background is not high, she can become the queen of Daqi, and sit in this position for many years, and the hardships during this period can be imagined. Now it's time to count on King Alcohol, but at this time, someone jumped out to block King Alcohol from going to the prince's road, or fight big with a small one, which is tantamount to a humiliation in front of the queen.
Her eyebrows twisted, and the corners of her eyes revealed a trace of hideousness: "This kind of person is the most hateful, she has already gained a lot, and she should have kept her duty, but she is not greedy enough, she has to look forward to Shu, covet things that do not belong to her, mess up the difference between dignity and inferiority, and the etiquette between the upper and lower is really hateful." ”
Concubine Rong's eyes gently swept the queen's angry face, and the corners of her lips picked imperceptibly: "In fact, this kind of villain is in chaos, but the ones who are most hurt are those who strictly observe etiquette." Just like you, the queen, who leads the harem and is merciful to the emperor's heirs, the harem of Daqi has been stable and peaceful during these years, so that the emperor has a lot of room to return to the court. Throughout the ages, how many queens can be like you? It can be said that there are only a handful. A virtuous queen like you deserves eternal respect. But how can you bear it if someone can't see this, and openly and secretly resorts to slander you? ”
The queen was so enthusiastic by Concubine Rong's words, her heart was already gearing up, with her temperament, at this moment, she just wanted to rush out of Longkang Palace, go straight to Jinxin Palace, find Concubine Min, and make a big fuss, only to calculate this evil breath in her heart.
Concubine Rong knew the queen's temperament very well, and she couldn't let her go on a rampage at this time. Because Concubine Rong still has to make this game bigger and wrap all the people she hates into it.
"Queen Mother, there is one thing that I have to consider, and that is the emperor's attitude. From the emperor's standpoint, he must hope that the harem will be peaceful and peaceful. But he didn't know that such a blind compromise could only make Concubine Min and her ilk even more rampant, she relied on Yingxue in her hand, the only princess of Daqi, to let the emperor indulge them everywhere. The final result is that Concubine Min's faction is becoming more and more lawless, and the concubines who abide by the palace rules can only retreat one after another. Concubine Rong said as she observed the change in the queen's expression.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Yuan was mentioned, the queen's tense momentum just now fell halfway. In addition, Concubine Rong said later, "The emperor must hope to calm things down", which made the queen's mood even more depressed, after all, the emperor is the real master of Hanyang Palace, and there will definitely be no good results for working against the emperor.
