Chapter 024: The Emperor Arrives
Just thinking about it, there was a sudden scratch on his head, Qingqing jumped on the soft pillow with a swish, squeaked twice, and grabbed his little paws as if he was crazy.
Mengqing never expected this, so he quickly caught it: "Qingqing!" What are you doing? β
Concubine Jing's face turned pale immediately, but she asked calmly: "Is this the pet that Niangniang raised when she raised it?" β
Mengqing looked at the flowers, and her face was very unsightly, whether she liked it or not, it was really unreasonable to make things like this in front of others.
She glared at Qingqing fiercely and put it on the table on the side, "Concubine Jing, don't take it to heart, it's really a negligence in this palace." β
"Since it's spent, don't ask for it, if the queen likes the concubine, make a new one." Concubine Jing stretched out her hand to take it.
Mengqing hurriedly hugged the soft pillow tightly: "No, this style is exactly what this palace likes, and this fragrance is really special." β
"Let the queen smile, the concubines don't have any special incense, and the internal affairs office sends it every year, and the concubines use it to smoke it."
Concubine Hui hurriedly answered: "Sister won't dislike it, our emperor has always liked this kind of incense, and my quilt is also smoked." β
Yi Mo said in a timely manner: "Master Hui's quilt is big, and the fragrance is stronger." β
Several women smiled slightly, and the embarrassment just now was over.
Meng Qing thought carefully that there was such a thing, but later the Internal Affairs Office successively lost a lot of cases in Luanfeng Palace, and this fragrance was gone, and the child in her belly was really crooked.
But there is one thing she doesn't understand, if the power of the Hou Mansion makes the emperor jealous, then Concubine Jing and Concubine Hui can't have something that the emperor is afraid of, why do they also drug them?
Concubine Hui has never been pregnant since she gave birth to the eldest princess and promoted to a concubine, and Concubine Jing's miscarriage has never moved, and Concubine Xian has never been pregnant.
"Do the two younger sisters usually use it too?" She asked.
"How come, this incense is very precious, I heard that the tribute from the Western Regions is only available above the concubine position, and the concubines are reluctant to use it if the emperor comes." After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she was afraid that the queen would laugh at her childishness, and her face turned red.
"Actually, my daughter's family has its own daughter incense, you don't have to smoke it deliberately, you all smell it."
The two looked at the queen mother in disbelief, and they actually ...... actually played such a shameful joke with them, and one by one they wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.
"Ignore the mother."
"Ignore this palace, what are you still sitting here? Want to eat? This palace can not give. Mengqing joked with Concubine Hui, in addition to the relationship between her brother, she also sincerely didn't hate this woman.
Concubine Jing couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she saw that the queen mother was joking with Concubine Hui without any scruples, but she also deserved it, and she repeatedly instigated the grievances between the queen mother and Concubine Xian, so naturally she would not treat her again.
But compared to the hatred in my heart, these are nothing.
Back then, in order to please the emperor, her father was the first to be sent to the palace as a side concubine, and she was no match for others in terms of family background, and she was also the oldest in age, and the only one who could stand out for her was the queen.
"Queen Mother, please forgive the concubine for talking too much." Concubine Jing glanced around, and her voice was much lowered: "The number of times the emperor comes to the harem is arranged, no more and no less, you must not be as before, so that the emperor who is easy to return to his heart will not be happy to see it." β
After speaking, she knelt directly on the ground, "The concubine overstepped, and asked the queen to condemn her." β
Thinking about it, Queen Meng really couldn't see this clearly, and Concubine Jing said something honest today, but she was not Meng Jinyu, and she didn't want the emperor to come or not.
"Concubine Jing, let's get up, don't talk about asking for sin, just keep your duty in the future, this palace is still the same sentence, Xijing, if you don't have anything important, don't bother, you don't need to come to the palace to ask for peace."
"Xie Niangniang doesn't care about the past suspicions." Concubine Jing got up and sat aside in a regular manner.
Speaking of this, Meng Qing remembered something important and looked at Concubine Hui: "In the past, this palace was not good at handling the affairs of the six palaces, so it is better to leave it to you, first declare, it is just cooking, not decentralization." β
One is to let her miss her favor, and the other is to let her know the relationship with the Hou Mansion to get this honor.
People's hearts are selfish, who guarantees that her last request for help was not to kill two birds with one stone, not only to make the queen make a mistake, but also to save her own family.
Concubine Hui raised her little face, tears welling up in her eyes, and she couldn't believe what she heard.
"Chore, what's exciting."
Concubine Hui hurriedly knelt down: "Concubine Xie Empress Niangniang's trust, the concubine must work hard to help Niangniang take care of the affairs of the Six Palaces, and never let Niangniang down." β
"Okay, okay, let's all go back."
"The concubines are retired."
Before he was about to send the two away, Xiao Peizi outside the door came to ask for a meeting with the head of the legendary worship room.
Dream thought lightly and asked the two to stay, and then announced that they would meet each other.
"Slave Anshun knocks to see the queen's mother, the mother is a thousand years old!"
"Mr. Ann is really a rare guest, isn't he?" Meng's tone is not good, Luanfeng Palace is the head of the six palaces, and there are only four eunuchs and three palace maids in the palace, and this account is remembered by her today.
Anshun didn't dare to get up without permission, "Where does Niangniang speak, I can't summon the slaves on weekdays, I really don't dare to disturb." β
"Then how dare you do it today?" Leaning on the side of the handrail, admiring his nails, he has been with mud for days, short and rough, and it is not much delicate to raise it with rose water every day.
An Shun buried his head low: "Luanfeng Palace is understaffed, and the servants specially selected some careful people for the queen mother to serve, and asked the queen mother to smile." β
"This palace remembers that the minions of Luanfeng Palace were transferred away one after another two years ago, how can they only remember it now?"
An Shun's back began to tremble: "The slave should be damned, the slave was negligent, he had not been disciplined before, and he was all stupid and stupid slaves with rough hands, so he couldn't send it to the queen mother in time." β
Concubine Hui added unhurriedly: "Manager An is really caring, and it took two years for the slaves to teach." β
"Who said it wasn't, look at the posture of more than a dozen people in the concubine's palace, could it be that all the stupid people in this palace were sent to her?" After Concubine Jing finished speaking, she looked at the queen with some fear, she really didn't mean to instigate this time.
Concubine Jing's words are indeed on point, Meng Qing naturally doesn't mind, it is quite simple in Xiao Yiheng's harem, and there are only a few people who have the ability to fight.
An Shun quietly raised his head, and saw that the queen mother was looking at him with cold eyes, and her heart was ruthless, and her head knocked directly to the ground: "The slave should die, the slave has the grace of the queen's mother, the slave asks for guilt, and the slave ......"
"Stop! Don't die here in the palace, turn around and give the palace a charge of treating people harshly, take it back, the palace doesn't like to be disturbed. β
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, An Shun's head seemed to be painless, and he slammed to the ground even harder: "The queen mother spares her life, please ask the queen mother to give the slave a way to live, and the slave will do his best for the queen mother, be a cow and a horse!" β
Mengqing couldn't help but be funny, "Since Mr. An is so sincere, then this palace is not easy to be embarrassed, but this palace does like to be quiet, so let them wait outside the palace gate." β
"The Queen's Mother......"
The tea bowl in Mengqing's hand fell down directly, and the tea splashed An Shun's face all over his body, "Slave...... The minions obeyed. "Walk away.
Concubine Hui Jing saw that the queen mother was angry, and she didn't dare to stay for a moment, so she hurriedly retired.
Those who were not sure whether they should come to pay tribute to the queen mother were now active outside the Luanfeng Palace, and they were bustling, and they saw that all the people brought by Chief Manager An were sent to wait outside the Luanfeng Palace, and they all took a round.
An Shun clasped his hands together, ignoring the wound on his forehead for everyone to look at, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Are you all here?" Do you want the slave to say hello to the queen mother for your masters? β
When those little masters saw this, they all quickly dispersed, and when they saw this appearance, they didn't get a good deal with the queen's mother.
After everyone left, Meng Qing came to the dressing table and removed the jewelry and clothes.
Qingqing drooped its little head and moved it, it made a mistake, it came to admit its mistake.
Mengqing just thinks it's not good to destroy other people's things in front of others, and I'm not really angry with it, but this little look of knowing mistakes is so cute.
She took a pearl from the drawer and shook it in front of it, and her little eyes lit up instantly, and she opened her little claws to catch it.
Dream stepped back, and it grabbed the air, twisting and twisting on the dresser.
"Want to eat? If you want to eat, you have to answer my question first. β
The little head suddenly lit into a garlic pestle, but it blinked stupidly, it couldn't speak.
Dream chuckled: "You also think there's something wrong with that fragrance, don't you?" β
Qingqing's head was raised and he clicked a few times.
"Spices kill me?"
Qingqing just thought about it, and immediately reacted and quickly shook his head.
Dream was light, and pointed to his belly: "Can it harm my fetus?" β
This time, Qingqing stood up directly, nodded his head a few times, and then stared straight at the pearl with big eyes, and greedily Tian Tian's small mouth.
Mengqing felt that he had really found the treasure, "Answer my last question, and I'll give you this to eat." β
Qingqing blinked her eyes, a little disappointed, but she still responded.
"In addition to things, can you smell what is harmful to me in food?"
Qingqing wanted to say that it could feel it, not smell it, but now it can't speak, so it can only nod, anyway, the owner will feel that it is all the same meaning.
Dream Light was excited and wanted to pull it, but the hand in front of it and its small body were obviously not proportionate, it was too small.
Qingqing saw the pearl approaching, and without waiting for Mengqing to agree, she opened her mouth and swallowed it in one gulp, and the pearl turned out a faint light from its translucent body, and then slowly swallowed it downward.
After a while, as the halo in its stomach disappeared, it fell asleep again.
Dream gently played with its small body, "You said that what you eat is so expensive, why don't you grow up at all?" β
"Slaves and maids think it's fun to be small, but it's not cute if they grow into behemoths." Yimo took a small carved wooden box and put Qingqing inside, and there was a mini mattress and pillow made for it.
Mengqing changed her clothes and went out to cook for herself, since Qingqing could smell things that were harmful to herself, then she wouldn't have to be so worried in the future.
But why do you always feel a little uneasy today?
Mengqing eats without much food, as long as the nutrition is sufficient, so she cooks simply and quickly.
Just as her pork ribs stew was about to come out of the pot, the uneasy answer finally came.
"The emperor has arrivedβ"
Dream shook his hand lightly, calculated a thousand times, and forgot that the emperor would come, which meant ...... Is she going to bed?
