69 [Self-defeating] Premeditated and elaborate arrangement + a suspicious and dull emperor

That anger only flashed in Li Rui's eyes, his eyes drooped slightly, and his face had returned to nature.

Those blue-clothed palace maids came to kneel down in front of the emperor and saluted, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads. The emperor pointed to the bamboo basket in their hands and asked pleasantly, "This peach looks unripe, why are you picking it now?" ”

Several palace maids quietly glanced at each other, and only then did one of them boldly reply: "This peach is picked and pickled to make preserved peaches, and the preserved peaches will be sour and crisp and refreshing when they are about to be ripe." ”

"I haven't heard of a concubine doing this. Debao, has the concubine ever made preserved peaches before? The emperor turned to the chief eunuch beside him.

Debao bowed slightly, and replied very respectfully: "Back to the emperor, the concubine Niangniang used to make sour plum sauce in King Kang's mansion, and she had never made preserved peaches and apricots." ”

"Oh!" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised as if he was smiling, but when he looked closely, there was a faint hint of mockery, "The concubine really has a thought." ”

After speaking, he shook his wide sleeves and walked out of the hall with the attendants.

Concubine Zhuang coughed a few times, waved her hand to let the red magpie extinguish the incense in the hall, frowned and asked, "The emperor didn't say anything else, he didn't ask anything?" ”

The palace maid in Biyi, who had just returned to the emperor to ask, shook her head: "I asked the slaves and maids what they were picking unripe peaches for, and I left after asking." ”

"And how does he counten? But what's wrong? ”

The palace maid shook her head and said, "The slave and maid peeked at it, and the emperor seemed to laugh, and there was nothing else." ”

Concubine Zhuang frowned tightly and said to herself, "How is this possible? ”

She waved her hand to let the palace maid retreat, half leaned on the couch and closed her eyes for a long time, before she said to the red magpie, "Call her in." ”

After a while, a woman walked in.

The description of the posture, the makeup, and even the smiling expression on the face have a bit of Zhao Yanrong's charm, but because it is deliberately imitated, when she gets closer and takes a closer look, she feels that there are some traces of axe.

Zhao Qingrong's face is not very similar to Zhao Yanrong, but her figure is similar to Zhao Yanrong, and she has lived with her for more than ten years, and she knows many of Zhao Yanrong's small habits quite well. Green Apple used to work as an errand in the Zhaoyang Palace, serving closely, and she also knew the queen's private habits well.

Zhuang Qin quietly transferred Zhao Qingrong from the Huanyi Bureau to Qinghe Palace for nearly two months, but she was only asked to do some light work, and she was not allowed to appear in front of people.

In fact, when she brought Zhao Qingrong to this Qinghe Palace, she already had more or less thoughts in her heart.

It's just that at that time, she didn't know that Li Rui's rejection of her would be so resolute and thorough.

She and he have a friendship that grew up together, her father and brother have the kindness of protecting each other with death to his father, and Gu Yunxing protected Li Rui with his life.

For ordinary women, it is a great fortune to be involved with one of the emperors. Her father, brother, and lover are kind to Li Rui, and she and Li Rui have affection, no matter what she says, the emperor will not refuse her idea of wanting a child.

But after Zhao Yanrong entered the palace, everything changed.

Li Rui is getting farther and farther away from her, and his mind is becoming more and more difficult for her to grasp.

It made her panic, frightened, and feel helpless.

Green Apple was arranged by Zhuang Qin to live with Zhao Qingrong, and taught her the etiquette of the palace, the queen's behavior habits, and the demeanor and tone of her speech on weekdays.

Zhao Qingrong was fished out of the Huanyi Bureau by Concubine Zhuang Guifei, as if he was in a desperate situation, he was naturally grateful, and he was severely tempered by two palace mothers when he was in the Zhao family, so he naturally worked very hard when he studied and honed.

After all these days in the palace, she finally understood one thing.

The palace was not as easy to conquer as she resembled, and she herself was not as omnipotent and indestructible as she had previously thought.

That's just that she was deeply favored by her parents before, and she was praised by her friends every day, so she thought that she had a peerless elegance, she was the best among women, and she was destined to fly to the highest branch in the future.

But now, just a little beauty can confine her in the backyard and torture her in every way. thinks that he is extremely clever means, in the eyes of the palace concubine, is just a very clumsy joke, and because of this, he has put himself in a desperate situation.

Zhao Qingrong was desperate to find out at that time that there were still so many places to learn what he didn't understand, and the gorgeous concubines in the palace not only had a beautiful face, but they also had far smarter minds and disguised expressions than they thought.

Entering the Huanyi Bureau means staying away from the inner court, doing heavy work, and never having the opportunity to see the sky.

She can no longer count on her father, who has always spoiled her, to give her any help, and her father and Pei's reconciliation are something she has been looking forward to for many years, but once her dream becomes a reality, she realizes that the reality is so cruel.

The Pei family and the Zhao family turned against each other, and her father was demoted from the dignified household department to the first rank of the first grade of the official to the Hanzhong Mansion as a local official of the fifth grade. The family wealth is scattered, and it has become a luxury for her to want to go with her parents.

But just when she was so desperate that she almost lost the courage to live, Concubine Zhuang Guifei stretched out her hand to her who was drowning and pulled her out of the mud.

Zhao Qingrong is no longer as simple and direct as before, and she has also learned to think and analyze.

If Concubine Zhuang can quietly get her out of the Huanyi Bureau, and send someone to teach her the various habits of the queen, Concubine Zhuang must have a deep meaning.

And the so-called deep meaning, I'm afraid that I want to use myself to hit her queen sister.

Zhao Qingrong didn't have a good impression of Zhao Yanrong, and she even insisted that the reason why she fell into such a field, the reason why the Pei family reconciled with Zhao Fengchun, and made Zhao Fengchun degraded, were inseparable from Zhao Yanrong.

The emperor likes her so much, he likes it so much that he refuses to summon other concubines, how stupid Zhao Yanrong is!

Zhao Qingrong was very dissatisfied with Zhao Yanrong's monopoly on the emperor.

As a queen, virtue and generosity are the most important requirements. Relying on herself to be the queen, relying on the emperor to favor her, she is so desperate not to let the harem have the opportunity to get wet with rain and dew, but don't you take all the jealousy and hatred of the harem on yourself?

But she was very envious.

envy his sister for having such a good life, her mother's family is powerful, and the emperor has a soft spot.

Such a man above tens of thousands of people, young, handsome and rich in the world, but he is willing to guard only a woman like her, who is not stunning.

Why is that woman not her Zhao Qingrong?

Why is that man not her Zhao Qingrong?

After waiting for so long and looking forward to it for so long, the concubine finally gave her this opportunity.

And she also saw the legendary emperor and her brother-in-law for the first time.

Just a glance at the long and jade-like man standing under the corridor made her almost forget to breathe. It was as handsome as a sunny day in the sky, just standing with his hands in his hands, and he carried the majesty of Wan Jun on his body. Such a man on top can only be looked up to, and people just want to bow down.

Zhao Qingrong's heart was beating wildly, if it wasn't for the instructions of the concubine to hide her face and avoid her, she even wanted to follow those palace maids in blue clothes, and get closer to the emperor, so that she could see more clearly.

Hiding in the side hall in her heart, she was looking forward to it, and she was a little scared, and after waiting for a long time, no one came to ask her to come over to meet the emperor.

Zhao Qingrong felt uneasy, and thought about his actions over and over again, and there seemed to be nothing wrong.

"Niangniang, the slave and maid do everything according to what they said before." Zhao Qingrong said worriedly, "Could it be that she is a slave or a maid or that she doesn't learn enough?" ”

Concubine Zhuang waved her hand and said, "No." The hall is burning with charming incense, although it is light, but it will make people feel happy and think. You are similar to the queen, and you are dressed up according to her, although the emperor will not mistake you for her, but he will also feel that you are seven or eight percent alike, and he will definitely feel curious. ”

If the emperor still has affection for the queen, there is such a good empathy object in front of him, docile and obedient, the emperor should immediately accept it.

As long as Zhao Qingrong can win the emperor's favor and cause the emperor to be lighter towards the queen, then the queen will not be afraid.

Concubine Zhuang gently rubbed the corner of her forehead with one finger, and after a long while, she said, "It's not completely useless. If the emperor hadn't seen you, how could he have summoned someone to ask him for no reason? ”

Zhao Qingrong hurriedly said: "But why didn't the emperor ask about the slaves?" ”

"Ask what? What is there to ask? Concubine Zhuang sneered and said, "No matter how similar you are, you are also dressed as a palace maid, and it is impossible to be his queen." The emperor is a nine-day true dragon, can he mess up for a woman? You are the person in the palace of this palace, if he has a heart, he will know the way after a little investigation. Don't worry, this palace guesses, in a few days, the emperor may summon you over...... Before that, I was afraid that I would come to the palace once or twice again. Do as Apple says, get close to him, serve him well, make him happy, and make him feel that you are gentle and lovely. ”

Zhao Qingrong was so bloody by her words that a few words were full of blood, and his face was dyed with Chixia, and he replied shyly.

Concubine Zhuang was impatient to see her like this, and waved her hand to retreat.

Aunt Jin Zi, the head of Qinghe Palace, leaned over and said, "Niangniang, could it be that the emperor didn't take a fancy to her?" ”

"Such an idiot can only look at his face." Concubine Zhuang rubbed her temples and sighed, "But it's okay like this, it's easier for her to think she's smart like this." If she has a child in the future, she will not become a big trouble in the palace. ”

Jin Zi immediately understood what the concubine meant.

If this Zhao Qingrong gives birth to a son in the future, the concubine will immediately leave the son to her mother and raise the child as her own.

"It's good, it's just that this Zhao Qingrong is the queen's sister, and the slave doesn't look like she is a Ken'an, if she is really favored in the future, I'm afraid that the mother won't be able to hold her."

Concubine Zhuang sneered and said, "If you are favored, you can't turn the sky upside down." Her father has no relationship with the Pei family, and he was demoted to Hanzhong, how could the queen treat her as a sister? In the future, the more favored she is, the more jealous the queen will be of her. We don't need to do anything, these two sisters can turn the palace upside down. Win or lose, the main palace can reap the benefits of the fisherman. ”

The Golden Palm Palace immediately bowed down and complimented: "Niang Niang is wise." ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Out of Qinghe Palace, Li Rui did not go to the dragon chariot, but walked briskly in the garden by himself.

Debao followed behind him, chasing him quite hard, but he didn't dare to shout loudly.

Li Rui walked two laps in a row by the Taiye Pool before his mood calmed down.

The fragrance in Qinghe Palace, and the woman who described her as very similar to Zhao Yanrong made him feel indignant in his heart.

He didn't understand why Zhuang Qin was doing this.

No matter where Zhuang Qin found this palace maid who was somewhat similar to the queen, he was sure that Zhuang Qin was definitely not well-intentioned.

He stood by the lake, looked at the lotus flowers in full bloom on the Taiye Pool, and suddenly remembered what the queen had said to him before.

"People say seeing is believing, but sometimes eyes can deceive. Your Majesty, you have felt guilty for so long, how do you know if you are guilty or not? ”

Li Rui felt that he didn't know Zhuang Qin at all, or rather, the woman he thought he knew very well had become so strange in an instant, so full of scheming, and so unscrupulous.

Zhao Yanrong once said to him that if he really cares about a person, he will want to monopolize him, and he doesn't want others to be contaminated for a while.

Will Zhuang Qin care about him?

No, the man she cared about had died four years earlier, and he hadn't heard her say a word about that person since.

Li Rui suddenly remembered that a year after Gu Yunxing's death, Zhuang Qin seemed to be more caring and considerate of herself, and often lingered at night. He thought it was because she wanted to take care of herself, but there were a few times when he did have that impulse to Zhuang Qin in some situation. But every time he can quickly suppress it, because he regards her as Gu Yunxing's wife and his sister in his heart!

So he will have an impulse, which makes him very angry and ashamed.

Aroma!

Every time I move, there will be a faint fragrance around me, just like the same aroma I smelled in the Qinghe Palace today.

Thinking about it again, it seems that I started to use acacia incense shortly after Zhuang Qin's miscarriage.

Li Rui closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The queen is right, there are some things that cannot be avoided as if they do not exist.

"Debao, how much acacia incense is there in my palace?"

"Your Majesty, you have hardly used it in the past two months, so there are still four big boxes in the Demao Palace." Debao wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.

"When I go back, I'll give me half a box first."
