Chapter 22: The Partridge Flies (2)
Empress Liu sat upright, looking down at the woman who was kneeling on the ground and trembling in her heart.
Cheng Meiren has fair skin, the jade neck that is exposed outside can be broken, and the rare good hair is soft and shiny, but these two points are good, the appearance is not outstanding, it is not ugly to be true.
Li Changyu next to him held a string of prayer beads, Queen Liu took it, and someone lit incense next to her, and Queen Liu talked about incense with a few concubines, and for a while she seemed to have forgotten that there was still a person kneeling in her heart.
After a long time, Concubine Li began to feel uneasy, and she pulled the handkerchief with both hands, and almost tore it off. Seeing Cheng Meiren kneeling and sweating, Concubine Li really couldn't sit still, glanced at the flower pot placed outside, and said with a smile:
"The saint is really blessed in this Chongxi Palace, look at the few pots of peony at the door, they are really beautiful!"
The hall was quiet for a while, Empress Liu glanced at Concubine Li, and then looked outside the hall, and sure enough, as if she had just discovered, she said:
"Cheng Meiren, why are you still kneeling? Hurry up, hurry up! You are a man with a body, how can you stand to kneel like this! This palace and everyone are chatting and forgetting you, you said that you don't squeak, just kneel, in case you kneel well, the official will blame me for not being able to tolerate people! ”
Cheng Meiren felt even more bitter in her heart, bowed her head and thanked her, and after thanking her, she had to stand up, but she knelt for too long, and when she stood up, she was a little unstable, her knees were weak, her eyes were dark, and she was about to fall forward.
Concubine Li expected this to be the case, and when she was about to stand up, she walked over to her, and when she was about to fall, she grabbed her and said:
"Oh, my sister doesn't have to salute me anymore, we don't have to see each other like this! I've seen that your shoes are very special, are they embroidered with silver thread? It's so beautiful to walk with a shiny glow! ”
Cheng Meiren was very grateful to Concubine Li in her heart. If she hadn't led Queen Liu to look out, Queen Liu wouldn't know how long she would have knelt again, and if she hadn't helped her, her fall would not be considered pampered and arrogant, but also a loss of honor in front of the palace.
She glanced at Concubine Li gratefully, peeked her feet a little from under her skirt, and said:
"My sister has good eyesight, and she really uses silver thread."
Empress Liu's face seemed to be smiling, and when she looked at Concubine Li's gaze, she was a little cold, and said:
"Concubine Li's eyes are really getting more and more pretended. A pot of peonies and a pair of shoes with silver thread are worth the fuss you make. ”
Concubine Li turned to face Empress Liu, her face was colorful, and she didn't know what to do in embarrassment. Cheng Meiren felt even more reluctant in her heart, wanting to help her relieve her, but she didn't dare to come forward.
Although Concubine Shu and a few others were friendly with Concubine Li, it was clear that Queen Liu wanted to use Cheng Meiren as a raft, and Concubine Li had to be the rafters of the early stage, how much this person couldn't think about it, they didn't dare to touch this moldy head again.
For a moment there was silence in the temple. Suddenly there was a sound of striking, everyone knew that Emperor Zhao was coming, and they all slowly breathed a sigh of relief, the person facing each other was finally going to change, so it was good, as long as Empress Liu's murderous aura didn't fall on them, it would be fine.
The figure of Emperor Zhao soon appeared at the door of the side hall, and as soon as the bright yellow figure appeared, the people in the side hall fell to their knees.
Empress Liu slowly stood up from the main seat of the head and bowed to Emperor Zhao.
Emperor Zhao waved his hand and asked everyone to get up, and even walked directly to Cheng Meiren's side, took her hand and helped her up. In front of everyone's eyes, Emperor Zhao held Cheng Meiren's hand and didn't let go, Yin Yin asked:
"Concubine Ai eats well these days? Did you sleep well? Did the people under that start disobedient? ”
Can I have a precious monthly pass?
There are also recommended tickets, so I really want to have ......
