Chapter 122: The Self-Appointed Wise Queen (4/4)
"Huguang has just paid tribute to the crabs, and the queen plans to hold a crab feast. Tian'er can excuse herself with pregnancy. Yin Zhen looked at her with a smile, "There is no need to hide it, I can protect Tian'er and our children." β
Yao Jiaxin suddenly felt a lot more relieved, "The concubine listens to the emperor." β
Cining Palace.
The queen is accompanying the queen mother to enjoy the steamed crab with fat and tender meat, and there are special eunuchs holding eight pieces of delicate and sharp crabs, priing open the crab shell and taking out the crab paste and crab meat, and the queen mother only needs to dip it in the secret dipping sauce to enjoy. The end is enjoyment.
The Queen Mother is old, it is not suitable to eat too many cold things, although the dipping sauce is full of ginger foam, and there is also a warm stomach, but the Queen Mother only ate two crabs, and then no longer enjoyed.
Seeing this, the queen also put down her chopsticks and took a sip of golden wine to warm her stomach, "This year's crabs are really fat and tight, the crab paste is fresh and glutinous, and the crab meat is also delicious and tight." β
"The concubine plans to hold a crab banquet in the imperial garden in three days, I wonder if the emperor can enjoy it?" The queen smiled and sent out an invitation, and added: "The concubines have also invited various families to be prosperous, and it will be lively at that time." β
The Queen Mother waved her hand, "Although the crab is delicious, the mourning family is old and likes to be quiet." β
The queen was a little disappointed, and hurriedly complimented: "The emperor's mother is in full bloom in the spring and autumn." β
As she spoke, the queen said with a smile: "Look, the concubine, the emperor's body is stronger than that of Concubine Yao." A few days ago, the weather turned cold, and Concubine Yao contracted the wind cold, and she raised it for so many days, but it didn't get better. β
The queen's face was full of pity, and she showed a little worry: "Concubine Yao is sick, and the emperor is very compassionate, not only often summoning the Huang Yuan to inquire about her condition, but also going to visit her every three or five days. The concubines were a little uneasy, worried that the emperor would cause illness. β
The Queen Mother snorted coldly in her heart, why are you worried that the emperor will cause illness? You are a red-eyed concubine, and you can often see the emperor even when you are sick!
It's just that the queen mother really can't find a reason to refute what the queen said. The concubine is sick, and she really shouldn't be close to the emperor, so as not to contaminate the dragon's body. But if the mourning family follows the queen's wishes and persuades the emperor, it will only make the emperor unhappy!
The Queen Mother said lightly: "The emperor is not a child anymore, he knows it in his own heart." β
The queen couldn't help but say sourly: "The emperor did know it in his heart in the past, but since Concubine Yao has been favored...... The emperor snubbed the Sixth Palace, and now he doesn't even care about his body, and the concubine, as a wife, is really worried about the emperor. β
The Queen Mother glanced at the queen coldly, "The mourning family said before that you, the queen, are satisfied with the emperor, and you will have a good life." β
Feeling the strange gaze of the queen mother, the queen hurriedly lowered her head, "The concubine just cares about the emperor." β
The Queen Mother snorted lightly, "If you really care about the emperor, you can persuade him in person!" βand not through the mouth of the mourners!
was poked all of a sudden, the queen's face was a little swollen, and she hurriedly said: "The concubine is old and decrepit, and the emperor hasn't been to the concubine's palace for a long time." The Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, and the emperor will listen to your words. β
The queen mother was displeased, if the emperor could really listen to the words of the mourning family, the old fourteenth would not have ended up in such a situation! The son of the mourning family doesn't even listen to his biological mother's words, let alone you, the wife who is afraid that the harem will not be chaotic!
"The emperor snubbed the empress, not because the empress was not young enough. When the mourning family was as old as you, the first emperor was still constantly caring! "The queen mother can't hide her disdain in her heart, a queen of the main palace, mixed to this point today, to have a son without a son, to be pampered or not pampered, it is simply stupid.
The queen's face turned a little pale when the queen mother said it, she quickly got up and solemnly curtshit: "Please also ask the emperor to teach her daughter-in-law." β
The Queen Mother glanced at the queen indifferently, "You are the queen, as long as you are virtuous, you can gain a foothold in the harem." As long as the queen doesn't make those unseemly things, no one can shake her queen's position!
Hearing such words, the queen was disappointed and annoyed, what "virtuous"? This is simply perfunctory!! The queen was suddenly angry, but she had to say seriously: "The concubines have always treated the concubines of the six palaces well, and they treat the princess as if they were their own. If this is not considered virtuous, what should the concubines do? β
The queen mother's face turned cold, obviously the queen begged the mourning family for advice, and the mourning family also gave her a way to walk, but the queen refused!
The Queen Mother asked coldly: "Since the queen has always boasted of being virtuous, why did the emperor snub you, the virtuous queen?" β
The queen was poked in the center of the headache, and for a moment the words were frozen in her throat, and she couldn't say anything to refute.
The Queen Mother said quietly: "You think you are very smart, but the emperor is smarter than you." What you have done, you know it yourself, and the emperor knows better! "-The queen is too clever and always treats others as fools!
Hearing these words, the queen's face turned pale, and her body shook faintly! No, the emperor won't know! In the previous incident, she didn't touch anything, and even if the emperor checked, he would find out about Niu Hulu's body! It has nothing to do with her!
However, the queen was still panicked after all, and when she walked out of the palace gate of Cining Palace, the queen was almost unstable.
Aunt Hui hurriedly supported her master, "Niangniang, the Queen Mother is just scaring you!" Niu Hulu's nobles, the emperor didn't blame you! β
"But since then, the emperor has never been to Jingren Palace......" the queen's lips trembled slightly.
Hui hurriedly said: "You are the emperor's wife, the original match for the marriage given by the first emperor himself!" You are the most noble queen, and you have nothing to fear. β
The queen took a deep breath and settled down a little, "The emperor will not ignore the relationship between husband and wife." β
The temple of nourishing the heart in the twilight was silent.
The eunuch Zhang Qilin stepped forward with a smile, "Your Majesty, Jingren Palace sent a cup of autumn pear soup, saying that it was made by the queen's mother herself, to moisten the emperor's throat and lungs." β
Yin Zhen raised her eyelids, "The queen cooks herself??" β
"Yes, that's what Hui Xuan of Jingren Palace said." Zhang Qilin said with a smile.
Yin Zhen said lightly: "Bring it up." β
"Huh!"
After a while, Zhang Qilin personally brought a small enamel dragon and phoenix pattern round cup to the imperial case, opened the lid, it was a clear soup, and lilies and wolfberries were added, and the red wolfberries were used as decorations, and this soup looked very good.
Yin Zhen scooped a little with a small spoon, tasted it carefully, and then put down the spoon, "It's not the queen's own pot at all!" β
Yin Zhen snorted coldly, the autumn pear soup was stewed very well, and the taste was also excellent, so the queen didn't have such good cooking skills!
Yin Zhen's eyes were filled with disgust, he never needed his wife and concubine to wash their hands and make soup, and the dignified queen didn't need to cook herself. He doesn't mind that his wife and concubine don't touch the spring water with their fingers, but he hates someone to cheat the most!!
