49. Dig a pit for the emperor

Women are jealous.

Especially when there are so many women in the harem who guard a husband, this jealousy becomes jealousy.

Seeing this by the queen, Shen Ci was worried that he offended the head of the harem, and he was afraid that he would be sad in the future.

While lamenting in her heart that her fate was unfortunate, she yawned uncontrollably in front of Li Mobai.

Yawned so much that she choked out two tears, and was about to raise her hand to wipe them away, but Li Mobai raised her hand to wipe away the tears for her, and then looked at her with a pretended to be pity, 'What's wrong?' Seeing me sheltering you in front of the queen, I was moved to cry? ’

[, this dog emperor is crazy, right? What's the deal with the loving eyes and the doting tone? But he said so, I can't say I'm sleepy, can I? Never mind...... Let's climb along the pole. 】

Shen Ci pretended to be hypocritical, and said coquettishly: "Thank you to the emperor, concubine." ”

Li Mobai's eyes kept staring at her, and an expression that seemed to be a smile appeared on his face.

"I see you don't look good today, but you didn't rest well last night?"

"Back to the emperor, I got up too early in the morning, and I was a little sleepy."

"Then go back and rest, I can't bear to see you like this."

[Did I hear me right? He just let me go? Something is wrong, if he really cares for me, why should he let me take over the matter of the Queen Mother's birthday? Those tedious things are the most tiring, what is going on in his head? 】

No matter what happens in the future, it is already his 'benevolence' for Li Mobai to let her go back to rest today.

So Shen Ci thanked him repeatedly, and ran out of the study room as if he was afraid that Li Mobai would regret it.

On the way back to the palace, I met many palace people along the way who were saluting her, but the strange thing is that these palace people seemed to be turning around and snickering after saluting today.

It wasn't until he returned to Yong'an Palace that Shen Ciwu understood what those palace people were laughing at.

"Little master, what's wrong?"

Pei'er stared at Shen Ci's worried face in surprise for a long time, and reached out to rub it under her eyes, "This is ......"

Shen Ciwu looked at the ink stains on her fingertips, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

She hurriedly took the bronze mirror to take a picture of herself.

Sure enough!

There are two faint ink stains hanging under his eyes, like a pair of panda eyes.

No wonder those palace people turned their backs to laugh at her, no wonder Li Mobai let himself go back to rest with a malicious smile on his face.

She said, how could Li Mobai suddenly change his character? It turned out that he took advantage of the effort to wipe his tears, and smeared the ink stains stained on his fingertips under his eyes, so that he could walk all the way back to the palace to show his appearance.

Is this dog emperor mentally retarded?

How can such a big person still be so naΓ―ve?

"The slave and maid went to fetch water to clean up for the little master."

Pei Erfang pushed open the door of the palace, and saw the outer attendant and inner supervisor of Xianshou Palace coming to report, "Little Lord Shen, the Queen Mother got up from a nap and wanted to see you." ”

Come on, the Queen Mother summoned, and her good wish to take a nap is about to come to naught.

"You go and return to the Queen Mother for me, saying that I will go over immediately."

After sending away the inner prison, Pei'er hurriedly prepared warm water and a handkerchief, "You can't lose your honor in front of the queen mother, and the slave maid should hurry up and freshen up for the little master." ”

Seeing that the water-stained handkerchief was about to be moved to his face, Shen Ciwu raised his hand to stop it.

She looked at her depressed and embarrassed appearance in the mirror, and said with a wicked smile: "The loss of honor is also the emperor's loss of honor, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Since Li Mobai is so 'tidying' her, don't blame her for treating others in her own way!

So, Shen Ciwu wore such a funny face and went to Xianshou Palace sleepily.

"The concubine asks the Queen Mother to say goodbye, and I wish the Queen Mother a healthy body and a blessed life."

The Queen Mother smiled: "Hurry up." Green bamboo, give a seat. ”

It was only after she sat down that the Queen Mother noticed the clue on her face, "Hiss...... What's wrong with your face? ”

Shen Ci pretended to be stunned and stroked his cheek, "Xu didn't sleep well last night, which made the Queen Mother smile." ”

"Didn't you rest at noon? The mourning family also specially asked Qingzhu to ask, it was four o'clock (more than ten o'clock in the morning) when you returned to your palace from Concubine Chen, and seeing that it was almost time (three o'clock in the afternoon), the mourning family ordered someone to ask you to come to the palace to sit, how do you think about you......"

"Yawn~~~~"

The Queen Mother was halfway through her words, but was interrupted by Shen Ci's undisguised yawn.

"The concubine lost her manners, please forgive the Queen Mother. After lunch, the emperor called the concubine to go to the study. ”

The concubine is not allowed to interfere in politics, Li Mobai is in the Shang Shufang, what did he ask Shen Ciwei to do?

The queen mother's eyes became vigilant, and she was about to ask, but she heard Shen Ci worry and said: "The emperor said that when the concubine was a slave in the past, he served him in the Shang study room. ”

The Queen Mother's heart was a little calmer, after all, Shen Ciwu had done this before, and it was not very abrupt.

But after taking another look at Shen Ci's worried stomach, her heart rose to her throat again, "The emperor is confused." You are a person with a body, how can you still be so tired? ”

"No, no, the Queen Mother misunderstood, the emperor treats his concubines very well. Seeing that the concubine was tired, tears came out of her eyes, and she wiped it off for the concubine with her own hands~" Shen Ciwu said 'good words' for Li Mobai while rubbing his sleepy eyes.

This rubbing, the ink stains were completely blurred under her eyes, "The emperor wiped the tears for the concubine, and he was worried that the concubine was afraid of being tired, so he asked the concubine to go back to the palace to rest quickly." The concubine returned to the palace and the queen mother summoned, the concubine wanted to be a daughter-in-law, and she always had to be diligent in serving the queen mother, so she didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and came in a hurry. ”

The Queen Mother saw that the thing under Shen Ciwu's eyes was ink, and according to Shen Ciwu's words, after Li Mobai 'wiped her tears' for her, she didn't have time to look in the mirror and wash before she came to Xianshou Palace, so the ink stains under her eyes must have been smeared by Li Mobai.

"Qingzhu, go get clean water and promise to clean your face for Shen."

Shen Ci pretended to be at a loss, and it wasn't until the washing utensils were lifted up and took a look at the water that he was surprised: "Ah, when did the ink get on your eyes?" I think the emperor accidentally stained the ink on the concubine's face when he wiped the tears of the concubine. The concubine lost her honor in front of the queen mother, and the concubine was guilty. ”

Shen Ci bowed his knees to apologize to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother took care of her body, and hurriedly asked people to help her up and wash her face and wash her.

In my selfish heart, I thought that although Shen Ci was worried about her background, she was finally a woman who knew the rules and etiquette.

On the contrary, it was Li Mobai.

Her face was gloomy, and she said solemnly: "If the emperor is unintentional, why didn't he remind you when he saw that you had ink stains under your eyes?" He's used to messing around, it's ridiculous that you have a body and let you go to serve in front of the palace, and now he still makes fun of you? The mourning family saw that he had been with Jinyan for a long time, and learned a lot of nonsense about him. ”

"Qingzhu, go and call the emperor to the mourning family."
