Chapter Twenty-Nine: The First Stand
Lu Qingjin sighed and helped the eunuch up: "I know what you mean, if you want to come to this palace, how can you be the queen, this duty is still there, you go back, if someone is asking for brocade clothes and food, you can come to this palace." ”
Cai Wei watched the little eunuch run away with some worry: "The master just told the emperor, why bother to wade into this troubled water, those concubines originally looked for the mother's disappointment, but now it seems that they are even more unforgiving." ”
Lu Qingjin felt that the grievances she had just received disappeared in an instant, she patted Cai Wei's head and scolded with a smile: "You little girl, I don't care what you worry about so much, I am the queen and is responsible for this country, and these things cannot be avoided." ”
Cai Wei was still a little indignant; "We haven't had a good life since we entered the palace, but you are still so kind." Lu Qingjin smiled and shook her head, she herself was originally the royal blood of Emperor Yan, and the blood on her body gave her a natural sense of responsibility, and her arrival was originally to save the country.
Qin Zhao leaned against the palace wall not far from the two of them and sighed heavily, asking in a complicated mood; "Isn't I too bad for the queen?"
Zhang Dequan grinned secretly, and said in his heart, what do you need to say, people have eaten overnight leftovers and white water and vegetables for three days after entering the palace, and they pretended not to be concerned on their faces to comfort: "You think too much, the queen mother is from a concubine in the end, and it is impossible to treat her very well, she wants to be no different from her family in the palace." ”
Qin Zhao sighed heavily, and returned to the imperial study with a heavy heart, Zhang Dequan looked at the emperor who hadn't even eaten lunch, and thought that the queen mother was really charming!
Lu Qingjin has been busy all morning just fertilizing the peppers. At this time, she couldn't take care of anything else at all, Cai Wei looked at her with some distress and a hard pickle; "Master, why bother, there are so many subordinates, there is no need for you to work so hard."
Lu Qingjin shook his head and pulled her to sit down: "Don't just watch me eat, besides, it's nothing, what I grow with my own hands is different from other people's, you can taste how fresh this cold cucumber is." ”
After this period of time, Cai Wei has become accustomed to eating at the same table with Lu Qingjin, and still asked uneasily: "Has the master forgotten the little eunuch in the morning, and what should you do if you don't say anything more important, otherwise the slave and maid will go and beg the emperor!" ”
Lu Qingjin swallowed the food in his mouth disapprerovingly; "He's not as good as me, you must know that there are no mediocre concubines in this palace, either the daughter of the prime minister or the general's little sister, the emperor's new position is unstable, and it is even more difficult for him to open his mouth."
Cai Wei couldn't eat in a hurry, and her mind was full of pictures of her master's grievances: "Why don't you go and find the master, after all, the master is a civil official and a clear stream, as long as he opens his mouth, the emperor can rectify it, and there will be a lot of trouble for the master." ”
Lu Qingjin touched her stomach and felt a little supportive, she shook her head and sighed: "You, you're all confused, if Daddy really cares about me, I won't appear here as a concubine, this matter is far less terrible than you think, we just need to wait here quietly, and someone will send it to the door." ”
Although Cai Wei didn't understand, she didn't ask much when she looked at Lu Qingjin's confident appearance.
Lu Qingjin returned to the dormitory after dissipating food in the courtyard, although some things here are very troublesome, but the environment is good, she looked at the sun outside, and thought to herself, just steal for a while.
Cai Wei also sat drowsy at the door, and after a while, she heard a burst of eager footsteps, she hurriedly raised her head, and a little maid came over angrily: "Sister Cai Wei is not good, those concubines came over with someone, saying that they wanted to reason with Niangniang, I advised them to be quiet, they didn't listen, and slapped me." ”
Cai Wei shuddered and hurriedly walked to the hall: "Master, wake up!" Oh no, those people are here, and they are still bringing people, or the slave will go and invite the emperor to come over. ”
Lu Qingjin slept soundly, and was a little dazed for a while: "What are you going to ask the emperor to do?" Am I not here? ”
Cai Wei was so anxious that she was about to jump up: "Master, when is this, now is not the time for you to be strong, the three concubines are here, and they are still bringing people, there is nothing to serve in our palace, if you start to do it, the slave is afraid that you will suffer!" ”
Lu Qingjin finally sobered up a little and almost laughed: "Okay, you go out with me to have a look!" They are rich and noble women who will not really do it, besides, this is already here, the emperor will not know, if he wants to come, he will naturally come, if you don't want to come, it's useless to invite. ”
Cai Wei followed behind Lu Qingjin worriedly, the queen's courtyard was actually not big, and the two of them almost saw those people at the door when they walked outside the hall.
Concubine Shu wanted to say something when she saw her come out, but she didn't know what she thought of and closed her mouth, but Concubine Xian's temper was hot and she couldn't take care of it too much: "What does the queen mean, we have been here for so long, you just came out, I don't know, I thought we were here at noon!" ”
Lu Qingjin didn't like them in the first place, and he didn't have a good face at the moment: "My sister said that I laughed, my sister has never seen you ask for peace a few times since she entered the palace, let alone others, I don't think there is any misunderstanding." ”
Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and was speechless, Concubine Yun said softly and weakly when she saw this: "We don't know that our sister's rules are so big, but it's really not because of these little things today, Sister Xiangbi knows, we are all daughters from famous families, and we have been pampered since childhood, but I didn't expect to save money when we arrived in the palace." ”
The implication is that Lu Qingjin was born in a small family and is a concubine, and she is different from them in many places, not to mention that she treats them harshly, this sentence is justified in telling Lu Qingjin that they don't listen to her orders.
Lu Qingjin paused without smiling: "I think this sentence shouldn't be said to the palace, now that the treasury is tight, the sisters still have to be clothed and fed, I think it is a lot of dissatisfaction with the emperor, since the sisters are from such a good family, it is better to let the family pay some silver to the treasury!" ”
Concubine Xian trembled and rebuked loudly: "Bold, do you know what the identity of our family is!" ”
Lu Qingjin sneered and said: "This palace looks at you boldly, this is the palace, this palace is the queen, what kind of status do you have to honor the emperor?" ”
