Chapter Eighty-Five: Misfortune Leads to the East
Finally at night, Qin Zhao sat on the dragon chair tiredly: "Did the queen send someone to say anything?" ”
Zhang Dequan looked at the others cautiously and said embarrassedly: "The queen mother hasn't left the palace this day, I think there is something to do!" If Your Majesty has something to do, go and invite the queen to come over. ”
Qin Zhao waved his hand and suddenly remembered what Lu Qingjin said in the afternoon, only to feel depressed in his heart, he waved his hand to drive the others out before asking softly: "Why don't you say she cares about me!" I'm the pride of the sky, what is she not satisfied with! ”
The corners of Zhang Dequan's mouth twitched, but he decided to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, forgive the slave for being blunt, you married four concubines at the same time when you just got married, and the queen must still have a knot in her heart!" ”
Qin Zhao snorted coldly and said awkwardly: "I just married her as a queen, and I didn't want her to really like me, isn't it natural to marry a concubine?" ”
Zhang Dequan sighed and said in a low voice: "Then what is Your Majesty entangled with!" The queen mother has a good peaceful harem, and she has nothing else to do badly except not liking you, you should be happy, shouldn't you? ”
Qin Zhao was stunned and muttered, "Are you happy?" ”
He suddenly remembered his mood when he held the pea seeds, he was happy, it was novel, but it was more of a yearning for Lu Qingjin's smile, and at that time, all he hoped was to be affirmed by that person. But the woman didn't like him, and she didn't even want to be jealous of him.
Thinking of this, he suddenly shuddered and asked, "What do you say you like?" ”
Zhang Dequan raised his eyes and lowered his head: "The slave doesn't know, but I think the emperor should like the queen's mother, otherwise he wouldn't even hide what Lord Lu said." ”
Qin Zhao rubbed his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Yes, in the end, you can see it, forget it, I'm tired today, you help me to rest!" ”
Zhang Dequan cautiously stepped forward to support him, with a complicated expression on his face with his head down.
Lu Qingjin got up early in the morning and arrived at the vegetable garden, she said to Xiao Ling while fiddling with the pea seedlings in her hand: "This morning, take advantage of the dew on the leaves to see how the plant is the best, peas are delicate, let's take a look at them diligently." ”
Xiao Ling didn't respond and looked at the door dumbfounded, Lu Qingjin turned around with some confusion, only to see Qin Zhao and his four concubines standing at the door looking at her!
Lu Qingjin took a few steps forward in disbelief: "Your Majesty, you are..."
Qin Zhao smiled softly and took her hand dotingly: "I really miss you when I haven't seen you all night, I don't know you're here!" I deliberately took them to see it, they also want to farm, and it's good to let them give you a hand. ”
Lu Qingjin was full of black lines and said Are you pulling hatred for me, thinking about it, he looked at the four of them, Concubine Li had already seen that she didn't react but was quite gloating, and the other three people were not so calm, and Concubine Shu's teeth and eyes were about to be crushed.
Qin Zhao didn't think it was enough, turned around and continued to say with a cold face: "Don't you like to worry about me? I will tell you today, the queen's affairs are my affairs, the queen's sorrows are my sorrows, you serve the queen more in the harem, if she is well, I will naturally be happy. ”
Concubine Yun smiled reluctantly and nodded: "The concubines know, there must be a lot of work in this queen's garden, although the concubines are not very good at it, they think they can help." ”
Lu Qingjin couldn't laugh anymore and said with a wooden face: "Fortunately, there are not too many, there are enough minions here, so I won't bother my sisters, especially the emperor has a lot of affairs, you better go back!" ”
Without waiting for Qin Zhao to speak, Concubine Li had already consciously said: "Niangniang's words are out of sight, the emperor specially brought us here not to see the excitement, I think I felt sorry for my sister to help, although we are from a family, but we still understand this truth." ”
Lu Qingjin looked at Concubine Li's teasing eyes and said in her heart Are you trying to kill me, didn't you see the eyes of others who wanted to eat me?
Concubine Li covered her mouth and smiled and said I don't compete for favor, but the days in the palace are too boring, and the emperor has made it clear that he will rectify you, accept your fate!
The group went into the vegetable garden strangely, even Xiao Ling didn't dare to speak much, Lu Qingjin just silently lifted the bucket here, and Qin Zhao threw down the shovel in his hand and ran over and said with pity; "The queen is the mother of a country, how can she do such rough work, I can't bear it, why don't you come over and pour the water quickly."
Concubine Shu put down the hoe in her hand fiercely and walked over angrily, but fortunately, she still cared about the emperor being here, picked up the bucket and began to water it.
Qin Zhao still took Lu Qingjin's hand affectionately as if he couldn't see Concubine Shu's dissatisfaction, Lu Qingjin tried not to let his expression be too hideous, and whispered in a voice that the two of them could hear: "What do you want to do, do you think I'm not messy enough here." ”
Qin Zhao smiled evilly and replied in a low voice: "What are you messing around here, I look very idle and still have time to watch jokes, isn't this good, the two of us can be regarded as having difficulties together." ”
Lu Qingjin angrily shook off his palm and said Who is in trouble with you, you are just a peach blossom robbery here, and everyone is a tigress when you come to me, and she still said with a dignified look on her face; "Since there is the emperor and the sisters and concubines here, rest assured, and there are still things in the palace, and the concubines will retire."
Before Qin Zhao's words could be spoken, Lu Qingjin ran away, and the other concubines let out a long breath, they are not fools who don't understand such care, but the emperor is undoubtedly humiliating them like this, even the face is very difficult, not to mention the uncontrollable jealousy in their hearts.
Qin Zhao had some genuine loss at this time, and he was not in the mood to continue to stay with these women at the moment, so he waved his hand and left.
When Concubine Shu saw the emperor leaving, she slammed the bucket in her hand and almost cried: "What does this mean, we are all the daughters of a big family, wouldn't this be a call for a concubine, where will we put our face when it is passed out." ”
Concubine Li glanced at her and stood up unhurriedly; "We are already concubines, she has been a concubine and queen for so long, and she has long been used to talking about facelessness."
Concubine Yun helped Yun Sideburns, and her voice was a little helpless: "Although I said so, we can't sit still, this queen is really going to suffer a little now." ”
