Chapter Eighty-Three: The Pea Appears
Before the carriage in the palace came at noon, Xiao Ling looked at the things in the house helplessly and sighed, Lu Qingjin looked over with some doubts: "What's the matter, isn't it a good thing to go back to the palace, why are you sad." ”
Xiao Ling said distressedly while directing the loading of things into the carriage: "Isn't it only a few days to live, many things here haven't been used up yet, and now you don't know when you will come back, it's too troublesome to transport all the things in this Zhuangzi back." But it's not good to put it here. ”
Lu Qingjin touched her head and said with a smile: "The emperor has already rewarded me with this Zhuangzi, so let's put this thing away, it is said that the potatoes have been planted, but I will come to harvest them in a few days." ”
Xiao Ling agreed, and the two of them returned to the palace lightly, and the queen's carriage entered the palace in a mighty way, and the palace people were panicked recently because of the haunted things. Seeing this, they were all relieved, after all, although the queen's background was not good, she was still very capable, and there was a lot of peace in the palace for a while.
Concubine Li and the others had already heard the news, and they had already arrived in the queen's palace before the carriage arrived, Lu Qingjin got out of the carriage and saw a person slipping at the gate of her palace, she twitched the corner of her mouth and said helplessly: "It seems that it is not too late for the palace to come back, you still have the spirit to stand here." ”
Several concubines knew that their approach was a bit excessive, and smiled awkwardly, but the virtuous concubine was pushed out and said: "The concubine knows that this is embarrassing for the mother, but there is really nothing to do, I hope the mother will calm down the affairs in the palace." ”
Lu Qingjin said in her heart that I have something to do, but seeing that the four of them were all haggard, she couldn't bear it, and before she could speak, she heard Qin Zhao's faint voice behind her: "Why didn't I know that the queen came back so quickly, and she was so idle, she had time to chat here!" ”
The four concubines hurriedly saluted, and when they saw the emperor coming, they knew that it was not good, and they didn't dare to stay longer at the moment, so they left with a confession.
Lu Qingjin looked at Qin Zhao helplessly, Qin Zhao also knew that he didn't look very good like this, so he coughed and said a little stiffly; "The vegetable garden has been taken care of by me these days when you have been out of the palace, and there are a lot of things planted in it, do you want to go and see it."
Lu Qingjin can be regarded as hearing one of the few good news in these days, and hurriedly pulled Qin Zhao forward: "I didn't know that you would grow your own things, go and have a look." ”
Qin Zhao was naturally uncomfortable being pulled by her, but seeing her excited appearance, he pursed his lips and didn't speak.
The two of them walked for a while and arrived at the vegetable garden, and the little eunuch who guarded the door smiled and saluted; "Your Majesty, this vegetable garden is well guarded, and absolutely no one has ever entered it."
Qin Zhao explained to Lu Qingjin's puzzled eyes as he walked in with her: "You should have also heard that this palace has not been peaceful recently, and all the ghosts and gods are made up by people with intentions, but there are really people who walk around at night, how can we also plant this vegetable garden for so long, I can't bear to let people destroy it, so I sent someone to guard the door." ”
Lu Qingjin didn't ask much and looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, the open space where potatoes were planted had been planted with green seedlings, and she walked over slowly, only to feel that these little green seedlings were very familiar.
Qin Zhao looked at her with doting eyes, and after a while, Lu Qingjin stood up in surprise: "This is a pea, have you found a pea?" ”
Qin Zhao smiled and walked over with her, picked a tomato and handed it to her: "I don't know what this thing is, but I heard that this thing can be eaten, so I planted a little bit." ”
Lu Qingjin thought that she had come here, and finally imperceptibly let the people here try boldly, so he took the tomato with a sense of accomplishment and took a bite and said vaguely; "Your Majesty will definitely be Mingjun."
The smile on the corner of Qin Zhao's mouth became even stronger, he lowered his head and looked at the vibrant green seedlings under his feet and smiled: "You still need to say this, you just have to accompany me to watch." ”
The dry summer wind was blowing slowly, and Lu Qingjin felt the more and more abundant vegetable garden, and laughed heartily.
There is no peaceful atmosphere in Concubine Yun's palace, but the palace people are all frowning, Concubine Yun held her forehead and asked, "What are the emperor and queen doing?" ”
Little eunuchs, look at me, I look at you, don't dare to say anything, or a little palace maid stepped forward and said: "After the ladies of the palace left, Your Majesty and the queen didn't even enter the palace gate, and the two of them held hands and went to the vegetable garden, and I heard that they went to see the peas you sent a few days ago. ”
Concubine Yun opened her eyes and was stunned for a while before sighing, and the old lady behind her said worriedly: "Niangniang, this is a waste of sending peas, in the end, the emperor's protection is not not said, but it has deepened the status of the queen." ”
Concubine Yun looked at the bright sunshine outside and said in a sad voice: "Although the haunting in the womb has subsided a lot these days, but when can it be saved, something will happen again, but the pity is that this palace has no ability to protect itself until now." ”
The old lady waved her hand at the little eunuch beside her and motioned for them to go out, although Concubine Yun was a little puzzled, she still didn't say anything.
After a while, the old lady whispered: "Isn't the reason why this queen is favored is the quotation garden, how many books have not been read in the scholarly door of the mother, this farm work is not just coming, and the emperor can not see the mother at that time, why bother to rely on nothing like now." ”
Concubine Yun nodded, and thought for a while before slowly speaking: "This matter can't be done by this palace alone, in case the queen gets angry, wouldn't it make others see the joke, you go and tell the other palaces secretly, just say that this is my idea, and whoever gets shelter in the future will not forget the other sisters." ”
The old lady agreed and went out happily, Concubine Yun looked at the empty hall and let out a long breath, she also knew that the possibility of success in this matter was very small, but if she didn't take action, a few of them would really be the fate of the old death palace, or the young concubines, who could stand it.
Concubine Li sneered when she heard the news from Xiaocui, and Xiwang was a little puzzled: "Although Niangniang has no intention of competing for favor, this is a good idea, and it is much better to attract the emperor's attention than nothing, and you and the other Niangniang will not be separated." ”
Xiao Cui didn't say anything and took the teacup in Concubine Li's hand, Concubine Li sighed and said in a calm voice: "What you see is only part of it, although the emperor loves the queen mostly because of farming, but there is already a follow-up What to do is just Dong Shi Xiaofeng, let's just follow the show." ”
