Chapter 53: The Imperial Escort
The queen sneered, "Concubine Hua, without the support of the family behind you, do you think we can sit in this position with our own ability?" ”
The high-powered concubines married into the harem are nothing more than used to contain the previous dynasty, and they are the emperor's concubines in name, but in fact they are just tools for him to rule the world.
If Yu Qing has a strong family, whether she wants to or not, she will enter the palace and become a concubine. But now, even if the emperor tosses again, she is nothing more than the identity of a palace maid.
"Then sister, let it go, the royal escort ......"
Concubine Hua paused, and said: "It's a position where I stay with the emperor all day, and it's really much happier than those of us who can't see the emperor for a few days." That's it, my sister is tired, and I won't bother my sister anymore today. ”
After Concubine Hua left, the queen immediately threw the tea in her hand on the table.
Tea splashed.
The palace maid hurriedly cleaned up, and said comfortingly, "Why should Niangniang bother with Concubine Hua? It's not that you haven't seen her arrogant and domineering personality on weekdays, I advise you to leave it alone, since the emperor has done this, he will not change it easily. ”
In spite of?
Why doesn't it matter, why does the sinner girl see the emperor's face more than she, the main owner of the harem. At this time, the queen looked angry, although she told herself over and over again that she should be generous when sitting in this position, not to be jealous, and to have the demeanor of a mother.
However......
Concubine Hua's words still worked.
The queen stood up and looked in the direction of the imperial study from afar through the window, as if the emperor and Yuqing had appeared in front of her, but the seeds of jealousy were growing in her heart.
"It's just a poor person in the harem."
Halfway, the queen sighed, why did Concubine Hua come to find her, but she didn't go. Because the emperor is ruthless, Concubine Hua is also afraid that the emperor will be angry with her.
"Ask the imperial dining room to make some mung bean cakes, and take them to see the emperor in a while." Since they are the emperor's married couple, this matter can't shake her position in the harem.
After a while, the queen passed into the imperial study, and the palace maid followed behind with a box of mung bean cakes.
After entering, the queen's eyes fell on Yu Qing.
At this time, Yu Qing was grinding ink and leaving the emperor...... It's close, it's close. Look at the appearance again, she can be called a beauty, if she dresses up, she will definitely be a country and a city.
After only one glance, the queen withdrew her gaze and smiled bitterly in her heart, the emperor's vision is really good.
"Then I'll step back first?" Yu Qing stopped the movement above her hand and asked.
"Finished grinding?" The emperor's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said lightly.
A word made Yu Qing close her mouth, and stood there, the strength of Yu Qing's hand gradually increased, and she pestled the ink hard, like pounding garlic.
"Your Majesty, I brought you some mung bean cake, you can try it." The queen smiled shallowly and waved her sleeves.
Behind her, the palace maid opened the box, revealing the attractive mung bean cake inside, the smell was wafting, the whole air was sweet and silky, the palace cakes were delicious, and Yu Qing couldn't help but sniff the air twice.
The father-in-law took it, and the box was placed in front of the emperor, he didn't like to eat these sweet and greasy foods, but he noticed Yu Qing's movements, glanced at it slightly, understood in his heart, and smiled lightly at the queen, "It's really virtuous." ”
The emperor only took a small bite, and then praised: "Yes, the concubine is delicate." ”
Although just such a simple sentence made the queen hook her lips and laugh, "Since the emperor likes to eat, then I will come to the palace more often in the future, and I will often let the imperial dining room prepare it." ”
"Hmm." The emperor responded perfunctorily, he knew that the queen came over today, and it was by no means as simple as simply sending food.
"What's the Queen's business?"
"Your Majesty, the imperial escort should not be a sin girl, whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, it will attract criticism, there are many thoughtful girls in the harem, as long as the emperor needs it, the concubine can be sent tomorrow." In the last two sentences, the queen's words were pleading.
When Yu Qing heard this, her eyes lit up. Sure enough, there is still a person who understands, and this is really good. I don't want to stay here for a moment, and I say that a companion is like a tiger, and maybe one day the tiger will eat him.
At this moment, both of them looked at the emperor with hopeful eyes, but there was no fluctuation on the emperor's face that had not changed for thousands of years.
"The harem is criticized, if you kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, no one will say much." After saying a word, it really made the queen's heart feel like falling into an ice cellar.
"Your Majesty, the concubine begs you to take back your fate." With that, the queen immediately knelt down.
"How can I change my golden words?" The emperor didn't even look at it, and said flatly.
This time, Yu Qing was completely disappointed.
The queen knelt for a long time and didn't look up, no matter how magnificent the reason was, it was nothing more than to hide your desire to leave Yu Qing's heart.
After a pause, the queen stood up, and kneeling again was nothing more than losing her self-esteem, "It's the concubine's inconsiderate consideration, the emperor pays more attention to rest, and the concubine retires first." ”
After the queen finished speaking, she flicked her sleeves and turned to leave, but there was too much helplessness in this back.
At this time, there were only two people left in the palace, Yu Qing and the emperor, it really made Yu Qing crazy, why didn't he agree, obviously what the queen said was so good......
"Your Majesty." Yu Qing plucked up the courage to ask what was in her heart, but the moment the emperor looked at her, Yu Qing was suddenly stunned, and she really wanted to give herself a mouthful. What are you thinking about, this is the emperor...... In a word, I can let myself go to the shabby place of Huanyifang.
"What?"
"Ink ...... Grinded. Yu Qing stiffly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and then cautiously leaned over with ink, her eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the mung bean cake.
Green and sweet, she had secretly eaten two pieces in the imperial dining room before, and they were really delicious. But before Yu Qing could look away, she heard the cold voice sound.
"For you."
"Huh?"
Before Yu Qing could react, the emperor's hand pushed, and the box containing mung bean cake was pushed into his hand.
Blinked his eyes twice, Yu Qing is still in a state of confusion, what is the situation? Didn't the queen personally prepare this mung bean cake for him?
If he doesn't like it, why should he stay?
"I don't like sweets."
The emperor didn't raise his head, still looking at the folds on the table, his flat tone and expressionless face, so that Yu Qing didn't feel any sweet taste at all.
He left the mung bean cake just to not disappoint the queen...... Yu Qing thought so, so she nodded, "Thank you for the emperor's gift." ”
Yu Qing thought about it, if she didn't eat it, the emperor would probably throw it away. sighed secretly, she was really blind to the queen's sincerity, and finally ended up in her stomach.
At this time, Yu Qing returned to her table and took a few bites, which was really delicious.
It is regarded as the emperor who compensates himself, who told him to imprison himself in this broken place, and he looks at this stinky face all day except grinding ink, which is really annoying.
What Yu Qing couldn't see was that the corners of the emperor's mouth were imperceptibly raised at this time, and after eating, she really liked to eat sweet.
The days of accompanying the monarch were very boring, and Yu Qing had to look at the emperor's side face. However, the serious man is really the most handsome, and the Qing Dynasty emperor still has a bit of a posture, and unconsciously, Yu Qing smiled.
Outside, the night was getting darker.
It's late at night, and the emperor doesn't know when it's over, and if he doesn't finish, he won't be able to leave. On the side, the two dark circles under his eyes were about to come out.
Although the current position is much more comfortable than that of Huanyifang, Yu Qing's mind has become heavier. Now that I'm this companion, I don't know if I'm happy or sad.
The queen came today, and Yu Qing didn't know that she was in the way of the eyes of the harem master.
Although I used to be a little bitter in the Huanyi Bureau, I got along with some women who were old and rough and couldn't even read a few big characters, no matter how I was, I wouldn't have to worry about my life......
