Chapter 44: Carrying the Burden
i^%&*";
Bai Rushuang took the flowing clouds to Cining Palace. Along. She was distraught. Su Zirong's figure always comes to mind. White as frost still remembers that day clearly. After the emperor slapped Su Zirong hard. Su Zirong looked at her with eyes full of disgust...... On the jasper hairpin that was shattered to the ground. What exactly is engraved? Why did it make the emperor so angry? If only I had taken a good look at the hairpin......
Though. Bai Rushuang came to Cining Palace to find Lin Yueyao. But now that it's here. You have to go and say hello to the Queen Mother first. Therefore. Bai Rushuang went to the Shou Hall first to greet the Queen Mother.
Arrived at the Guangshou Hall. I saw Ouyang Ying playing chess with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother held a crystal white jade chess piece in her hand. Staring intently at the game. Eyebrows pondering. I look embarrassed. Ouyang Ying looked at the Queen Mother with a smile. said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Queen Mother, you have to be careful. This chess game was put out by the concubine after studying it for a long time. Accidentally took the wrong step. But you lost it all."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly. He nodded approvingly, "Not bad. Not bad. This game is well laid out. Ying Zhaorong's chess skills are really improving by leaps and bounds. Let the mourning family have to be impressed."
"Isn't this all forced out by the Queen Mother?" Ouyang Yingjiao said angrily. Since entering the palace. The concubine has been losing to you. The concubines have no face. Therefore. The concubines burned the ointment and forgot to sleep and eat. It's a lot of hard work. That's a little bit of progress."
"So to speak. You should also thank the mourners." The Queen Mother joked to Ouyang Ying.
"Wait until you win the game. The concubine will bow to you again and thank you." Ouyang Ying said smartly. It made the Queen Mother laugh.
Seeing them talking and laughing like this. Especially Ouyang Ying. The ninth sister of the pig who smiled like a bright spring. Bai Rushuang couldn't help but despise her in her heart. Usually always pretend to be unattainable. Put on a cold stinky face to everyone. In front of the Queen Mother, he smiled so flatteringly. I don't know if it's a slap in the horse. Hypocrisy.
Although his heart was full of contempt for Ouyang Ying. Please go after the peace. Bai Rushuang sat on the side with a smile and pretended to watch the chess seriously. I have long forgotten that my false smile is also a kind of hypocrisy.
White as frost, although the body is sitting on a stool. The heart has already flown to Lin Yueyao, which is really a great irony. Didn't expect. She is as white as frost, and one day she will "miss deeply" Lin Yueyao who made her grit her teeth with hatred.
A game of chess is so long. For Bai Rushuang, it's like a year. Finally, the Queen Mother instructed Aunt Shuwen to collect the chessboard. Bai Rushuang was thinking about getting up and leaving. The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Bai Zhaorong came by coincidence. The mourning family is trying to tell someone to call you to Cining Palace."
"The queen mother has something important to tell her concubines to do." Bai Rushuang asked. But in my heart I thought hatefully: Surely nothing good will happen. If there really is something good. Is it still my turn to be as white as frost. Lin Yueyao has already taken it all in.
"The mourning family wants you to assist in the harem." The Queen Mother took a sip of hot tea. Said leisurely.
Ga. Associate Harem. She didn't hear her wrong. She has a share in such good things. White as frost, there was a burst of ecstasy in my heart. But he wanted to welcome and refused to pretend to be modest and said: "I am loved by the Queen Mother. How can the concubine He De take on such a heavy responsibility. I'm afraid that if I don't do well, I will disappoint the Queen Mother."
"You've always been careful and meticulous. The mourners believe in you." The Queen Mother nodded in affirmation, white as frost. Then continued. The mourning family has already told the emperor. Decided to let Hying Zhaorong Prime Minister Harem Affairs. You come to her aid. Rest assured."
What the. Let Ouyang Ying Prime Minister Harem Affairs. So. His "assistant harem affairs" is just a miscellaneous worker. Really. What a good thing. How to get her turn. Seemingly. It was she who rejoiced too soon.
"After all, Ying Zhaorong has just entered the palace not long ago. Many things are not yet familiar. You mention her a little more. What to do. What not to do. Give her advice anytime, anywhere...... The mourning family hopes that you can work together to take care of the harem. Share worries for the emperor." The Queen Mother said.
Don't. The queen mother's implication was to help supervise Ouyang Ying herself. Well. There is also this possibility. Come to think of it. Bai Rushuang's heart is much more comfortable. The smile on his face is also a little more sincere. Hurriedly nodded and replied: "The concubine will definitely do her best to help Ying Zhaorong. Don't let the Queen Mother down."
Seeing that Bai Ruhuang was so ecstatic to accept it. Ouyang Ying couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Yesterday. When the Queen Mother said that she wanted Prime Minister Ouyang Ying to do the affairs of the harem. She wanted to politely refuse. After all. She doesn't like to dwell on harem trivialities. He worked as a logistics minister and mediator for Meng Hongyu's women. However. Thinking of Ruozhen's prime minister's harem. It will be possible to master more palace secrets. Even family and country secrets. Therefore. She agreed to the Queen Mother.
Didn't expect. The Queen Mother still didn't worry about her after all. Let Bai Rushuang spy on her today. How could she not know the Queen Mother's "good intentions"? The Queen Mother let Bai Rushuang come to the "assistant harem" in front of her face so openly. Do you do your job seriously? Seemingly. To gain the trust of this old woman. There's still a long way to go.
"I have my sister on the side to help and mention. The concubines will be able to do what the Queen Mother entrusted. Don't let the Queen Mother down." Ouyang Ying's words also meant to show his heart to the Queen Mother. Tell the Queen Mother that she will be loyal and dutiful and take care of the harem.
"The mourners believe in you." Listened to Ouyang Ying's words. The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction and said. The mourning family has taken care of the harem for decades. Now people are old. I can't do anything. I have been thinking about carrying this burden on your shoulders for a long time. However, I couldn't find the right person to entrust. Xiao Guifei is a smart person. However, it was too bland. I don't care much about what I do. Since premature birth. It's even more depressed all day long. How can you be in the mood to take care of this mess?"
Stopped and took a sip of tea. The Queen Mother continued: "On seniority. Liu Zhaorong has been in the palace for so many years. She also gave birth to two children. is the most qualified. However, she did not please the emperor. Yao'er is still young. Now she has just given birth to a little prince of Xinmin. The mourning family wants her to take care of Xinmin wholeheartedly. Therefore. Come to think of it. Only the two of you are the best fit. I hope you don't let the mourners down."
"The concubines will do their best to share the worries of the Queen Mother. live up to the high hopes of the Queen Mother." Ouyang Ying said.
"The concubine will definitely help Ying Zhaorong. Share worries for the Queen Mother." White as frost also hurriedly "show the heart" hey. OUYANG Ying. Just wait. I'll keep an eye on you.
