Chapter Eighty-Four: The Concubine Farms
Lu Qingjin has been living in the palace for several days, and she doesn't know what's going on, since she returned to the palace, this haunted thing has not happened once, and she can only sit at the gate of the palace in a daze except for the vegetable garden these days.
Before she could come to her senses, Xiao Ling hurriedly ran over: "Niangniang is not good, the slave maid heard that the maidens of each palace have started farming in order to compete for favor, and the most extreme thing in Concubine Yun's palace is that they have carved out a piece of land not far from the vegetable garden in the imperial garden, so they are waiting to fight with Niangniang." ”
Lu Qingjin asked with a little interest; "Do you know what they're going to grow in their garden?"
Xiao Ling was also a little biased for a while, and after thinking for a while, he replied uncertainly: "Concubine Yun heard that it is a thing from the Western Regions sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion in the middle, and the palace of Concubine Shu is similar to that planted by Niangniang, and Concubine Xian is quite stable with chili peppers, but Concubine Li is different, but she has planted some flowers and plants in her palace." ”
Lu Qingjin nodded appreciatively; "These are worthy of being from a big family, so they are all over, if the emperor goes anywhere, he will not get bored, but the palace is overshadowed here."
Xiao Ling then remembered that he was not looking for her to judge, but to think of a way, and he was anxious again; "Don't just say it, Niangniang, seeing that the other palaces are about to snatch away the emperor's favor, you should think of a way."
Lu Qingjin looked at the eager little palace maid with some helplessness; "This is like people drinking water and knowing that they are warm and cold, if they really like me, they can't tie their hands and tell them to do nothing, if they don't really like it, even if they do it toughly, they can't hold on, and the emperor's favor is even more irrelevant to me."
Xiao Ling seemed to be deflated and wilted, and said, "Then look at it like this, it also seems that you are too easy to bully." ”
Lu Qingjin smiled evilly: "This palace is interesting, you can inquire more about the emperor's news, we can see a joke, I am more curious if this emperor can withstand so much enthusiasm." ”
Xiao Ling reluctantly ordered someone to arrange it, and sighed heavily before leaving.
Just like Lu Qingjin expected, Qin Zhao really couldn't resist anymore, it was the fourth time he had met Concubine Shu in the same place, every time Concubine Shu looked at him delicately as if she was doing farm work, he let out a long sigh; "I don't know what Concubine Shu was doing near my dormitory, but I don't think I gave you anything to grow this piece of land."
Concubine Shu pretended to be weak, holding the hand of the palace maid behind her, and said with tears at the corner of her eyes; "The concubine just likes farming, and thinks that the people of Dayu need food, so they came here, if there is an offense, I hope the emperor will forgive the sin."
A small speaker behind him sighed when he saw this scene; "Concubine Niangniang is really an example of the country, please ask the emperor to give this land to Niangniang, with all the loyalty of Niangniang to do her best for the country."
Qin Zhao looked at the corner of Xiao Yanguan's mouth twitched, for the first time, he felt that the election of officials was not to limit the age, and if he was immature like this, he would experience a few more years, but Xiao Yanguan looked at him with burning eyes, and he had to nod with difficulty because he was afraid of Concubine Shu's family; "I am very relieved, and I am grateful for the merits of Concubine Shu and I will give you this land."
After speaking, Xiao Yanguan ran to the queen's palace without a smile, and Concubine Shu looked at Qin Zhao's back and smiled proudly.
Lu Qingjin had just heard about the four chance encounters in the Imperial Garden, and he couldn't drink the water of laughter at the moment, Qin Zhao came in at this time, and his face was even more ugly when he looked at her; "You just wait to see my jokes, and I'm not afraid that I'm really interested in these women, and I'll see where you go to cry when the time comes."
Lu Qingjin poured him a cup of tea with a smile: "I don't cry, I will die of laughter if I go on like this, the emperor can't stand it anymore, and there are three people who haven't come out." ”
Qin Zhao put down the water cup and looked at Lu Qingjin who seemed to be really not jealous, and let out a long sigh: "You are leisurely, and you don't say that you can help me think of a way to laugh, and I don't know what kind of stimulation these women have, in the past, they were very peaceful, but now they are all crazy, I think I should really do something." ”
Lu Qingjin slowly swayed to Qin Zhao's side, sat on another stone bench in the courtyard, and said with some seriousness: "Why can't the emperor figure it out, this is not a matter of lawlessness, in the end, it is understandable that your concubines are competing for favor or something, and besides, they haven't done anything excessive, even if you let the ministers say it, you can't say anything." ”
How could Qin Zhao not know, but he didn't like it and couldn't help it, he said with a sad face; "I married them just to anger you, and then for the sake of the family behind them, can't I stay in peace and have nothing to do?"
Lu Qingjin sighed in her heart, after all, she still admires these women very much, but these people have no hope when they enter the palace, even if they have great talents, they can't give full play.
Thinking of this, she said solemnly: "What the emperor was doing at that time was just for his own selfish desires, but you must know that for this woman who has entered the palace, you are their everything, after all, you insisted on marrying, and now you should also take responsibility." ”
Qin Zhao put down the teacup with a little weakness, in the end, he knew that he was unreasonable, and he left without losing his temper.
Xiao Ling looked at Qin Zhao's back and was a little worried; "Just persuade the mother, why do you need to say it so obviously, the emperor is angry when he sees it."
Lu Qingjin got up and walked towards the hall by himself; "Although he is the emperor, there are always some things that don't talk about identity, and I don't really live by his favor now, he is not allowed to say it if he is wrong, besides, if I don't remind him, someone will be punished for messy things today, then it will be too pitiful."
Xiao Ling knew that it was not easy for the ladies in the palaces, and it was not easy to say anything at the moment, so she closed her mouth stupidly.
Qin Zhao met Concubine Yun as soon as she left the queen's palace, compared to Concubine Shu, she was a lot more restrained, and her dress was quite normal, Qin Zhao also stopped and asked, "Are you here to find me?" But what matters. ”
Concubine Yun's eyes lit up when she saw this, and she pretended to be shy and said; "Your Majesty, the concubine has figured it out after a period of deep thought, this agriculture is the foundation of the country, and now the concubine has made some gadgets and wants to ask the emperor to come over and have a look."
Qin Zhao was a little curious by what she said and followed, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the yard, he saw another vegetable patch that was the same, he pointed to the vegetable garden with a trembling hand and said, "I'm not a fool, you obviously learned it from the queen." ”
