Chapter 426: The Concubine Conspiracy
Tao Kite's things are going relatively smoothly here, but there is no improvement in the queen's place.
Every time, the queen finally found an opportunity to come out of the palace to visit Tao Kite. is always stumped by a series of things made by the palace concubines, and I can't get out.
Either you framed me for stealing your hairpin, or I put something under your bed to stab the villain, all of which are small carving skills, but every time you have to make trouble with her to judge. She really doesn't want to deal with these boring little things, but since she is sitting in the position of the queen, she has to take on the duties of the queen.
But to say that the most headache for the queen is undoubtedly the concubine, her family is so powerful that even the emperor sometimes has to accommodate her. And the concubine was bent on pleasing the emperor, so she had to guard against it, and her thoughts of going out of the palace to visit Tao Yuan could only be put on hold.
"Little Lizi, bring me the list of foreign tributes to be stored." Very few Gentiles came to pay tribute in the early days, but as they say, this is the best sign of their sincerity.
"Your Majesty, this is it." Gonggong Li respectfully handed the list to the emperor.
"Point cui phoenix-shaped jade hairpin, carved gold peach-shaped red coral step shake, tired silk lotus pearl hairpin...... What kind of messy names are these, and they have all been sent to the queen. "The emperor originally wanted to carefully select a few pairs for the queen, but the queen always said that he was not careful, but these daughters' things were too many and difficult to identify, so he simply sent everything over and let the queen choose it herself.
"Huh." Gonggong Li took the list, answered the call and went down to prepare, if you want to say that among the six palaces, which one can compare to the queen? Let's just say that there are not many kings of this dynasty who can compare to the emperor's infatuation!
Gonggong Li had just read out the reward of the holy decree in the queen's palace on the front foot, and the concubine on the back foot got the news.
As soon as the wide sleeves were raised, the teacup on the soft couch was swept down, and the cup fell to the ground and shattered, making a "crackling" sound.
"Niangniang, don't be angry, don't be angry!" The little maid beside the concubine couldn't help but comfort her when she saw the concubine like this.
"I'm not angry, does anyone care? The emperor is not thinking about the queen yet! There is no trace of my existence in my eyes! The corners of the concubine's angry eyes were flushed, every time she was like this, as soon as there was something good, she only thought about the queen. She doesn't care about those good things at all, what she really wants is the emperor's attention, but the emperor always can't give her what she wants.
"Niangniang, it's useless for you to give up on yourself here, the emperor doesn't know that you are here to hurt him, you have to show it to let the emperor know your heart for him." This time it was the big girl who had been following the concubine all the time, and while she was accustomed to cleaning up the debris and fragments of the ground, she persuaded the concubine bitterly.
"Chun Tao, how do you say you can get the emperor's attention? What does the emperor really value? As if she was enchanted, the concubine kept muttering to herself.
The little maid is so young, when she heard the concubine ask, she immediately responded bluntly: "Of course the emperor attaches great importance to the heir!" What emperor doesn't like to have a son himself! ”
"Xiaoyu! What nonsense are you talking about here, don't get out of here yet! Chun Tao is also an old man in the palace, he knows what to say and what not to say, as soon as he heard the little girl's response so straightforwardly, his back subconsciously became half wet, for fear that the concubine would blame him.
The little girl was woken up by Chun Tao so little, and suddenly realized that she had said something that she shouldn't have said, so she hurriedly knelt down, said goodbye, and ran out in a hurry, as if something terrible was chasing her behind.
The concubine was not angry, but the expression on her face was unpredictable, she looked around, only her henchman Chun Tao was left alone, and said leisurely: "Chun Tao, you said that if I am pregnant, will the emperor pay more attention to me?" ”
Listening to the concubine's words, Chun Tao's eyes widened subconsciously, and her tone was full of disbelief: "Mother... Mother..."
The concubine didn't care what Chun Tao thought in her heart, anyway, she had already made up her mind: "Imperial Doctor Li in the Tai Hospital is my person, how to negotiate, I think you should know it in your heart, you don't need me to teach you one by one." ”
"Yes, sissy." Chun Tao suppressed the turbulent waves in her heart, since the master had made up her mind, then it was not her little maid who could interfere, she just needed to complete what the master ordered.
"Call me that little maid back just now, I have to go to the Queen's Palace." The concubine's face was full of malicious smiles, Queen, I don't believe you don't care!
Xiaoyu, who thought that her life was in danger this time, was suddenly mentioned to the position of a first-class maid, and she could accompany the concubine to the queen's palace, Xiaoyu was dizzy, as if she was suddenly hit by a pie that fell from the sky.
"Remember, you must always pay attention to following the concubine, this time it is a fluke, and there will be no one to protect you next time, if you shouldn't say it, you must not say it again!" Before Chun Tao went to find Imperial Doctor Li, she carefully told this stupid little girl on weekdays.
"The concubines give peace to the emperor, and please say hello to the queen." The concubine held Xiaoyu with one hand, and deliberately held her stomach with the other, with a warm spring breeze on her face.
As soon as she saw the emperor, she knew that she had guessed correctly, the emperor was really in the queen's palace, and while secretly gritting her teeth in her heart, she was also a little glad that this plan could be implemented perfectly.
"Let's be flat, why did the concubine suddenly remember to come to the queen's palace to hang out?" The emperor just sent the gift out, and now he hurriedly took the opportunity to please the queen, and before he could say a few words to the queen, the concubine came over, and she was a little unhappy, but in the end, the emperor, no matter how unhappy she was, she would not show half a point on her face.
Hearing the emperor's question, the concubine deliberately pretended to be shy, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "The queen is the lord of the harem, the concubine, and the concubine is specially here to say hello to the queen." ”
The queen was slightly stunned, the two of them have never dealt with each other, so they came to say hello to her? I was afraid that I was going to play some little trick again, but my face was still indifferent: "I don't know what the concubine wants to say to the palace?" ”
"Concubines... The concubine was overjoyed. When the concubine said this, her hand was still gently caressing her lower abdomen, as if there was really a life there.
The queen looked up in disbelief, staring at the concubine's belly, her mind was full of thoughts, she was pregnant with the emperor's child...
The emperor stood up with a happy face: "What the concubine said is true?" ”
Seeing that the emperor was so excited, the concubine knew that she had bet on the right treasure, and nodded shyly: "The emperor is not as good as Imperial Doctor Xuan, and by the way, I will also take a look at the concubine." ”
