Chapter 20: The Queen Is Not Easy
For several days in a row, there was no movement on the side of the Prudential Division, and the queen was crooked on the gold wire pillow embroidered with peony patterns. With her eyes slightly closed, she let Xiaoyue behind her massage her head.
"The Shen Criminal Division asked Li Zhong to go over and take a look, it has been a few days and the trial has not been out, when has the efficiency of the Shen Criminal Division been so low."
These days, because of the poisoning of the meditation ritual, the concubines in the harem have given birth to a lot. On weekdays, I come to say goodbye, and I don't say much.
If she can continue like this, she, the queen, can worry less.
"Yes, the slave will go to find Gonggong Li in a while."
These days, the emperor has not stepped into the harem again, and the newly selected show girls have not seen the emperor yet. Seeing that the Queen Mother is also going back to the palace, if she knows about this, she is afraid that she will be unhappy.
There was a trace of bitterness in the queen's heart, who was willing to push her husband to another woman. But she was the queen first, and then the emperor's wife.
"Xiaohua, you ask the small kitchen to prepare the old chicken mushroom soup, and then send it to the imperial study and say that you will come to Fengyi Palace when the emperor is not busy."
Xiaohua immediately responded, but she felt a little sorry for her mother.
"Why should Niangniang be like this, the emperor himself is unwilling to enter the harem and does not favor those concubines."
The door was gently pushed open, and Mama Du came in with a bowl of soup and medicine. The rich medicinal fragrance instantly diffused, and the queen's eyebrows wrinkled without a trace.
"This is the last medicine, Niangniang has to find a way to let the emperor stay overnight at least one night within this month."
Handing over a bowl of black decoction, Mama Du felt a little distressed in her eyes.
The queen took the decoction and suppressed the nausea in her heart. raised his head and drank it all, then took the handkerchief handed by Xiaohua and wiped the corners of his mouth.
"Hongu knows." The bottom of her heart is bitter, this decoction is nothing to her.
I touched my belly, and my eyes flashed. She didn't want to take this step unless she had to.
"Niangniang, you can't hesitate any longer, the old slave got the news that the concubine Niangniang is now practicing her cooking skills and wants to cook for the emperor herself."
Their mothers are good at everything, but they are too strict with the rules when facing the emperor. Although this is good, it should also be soft and warm in private.
"Lin Guifei learns to cook?"
The queen couldn't believe her ears, girls raised by a big family like them were good at everything, but no one learned to cook, because they all felt that it was a matter of self-defeat.
Mama Du nodded, helped the queen get up and walked outside.
"Now the harem knows about this, and just now Changle Palace passed the imperial doctor, saying that the concubine Niangniang was burned by boiling water in the small kitchen."
The queen sneered, why is it not that little face like a flower and jade. She only relied on the queen mother and that face to get some favor from the emperor, and this favor is probably almost worn away by what she has done in the past few years.
"She's been smart once, and I don't know if someone is secretly mentioning it."
The old slave looked coldly, the concubine was a little different from before. You can't be careless, the emperor and the concubine are childhood sweethearts. If the concubine changed her temperament, she really coaxed the emperor......"
Mama Du didn't say the latter words, but the queen understood the hint inside.
Lin Guifei was like a knife hanging from her neck, full of threat. After all, this family is no worse than her, and it can be said that it has stabilized her. If she is favored, plus the queen mother......
