Chapter 6: Reward
Zhao Nuoqing lowered his head, and he could only see the skirts of the emperor and the queen, as well as the emperor's black embroidered gold dragon boots and the queen's brocade tassel forging shoes.
The two of them have already taken off the heavy and complicated court clothes and replaced them with regular clothes, but even if they are regular clothes, they can see that the materials and processes of the two clothes are very complicated and expensive, and they are very controllable.
Xu had already spoken to the emperor and queen once in front of the Tai'an Palace, so Zhao Nuoqing was not so nervous at this time, and kowtowed to the two of them with a few thoughtful courtesies.
"The concubine and the talented Zhao family ask the emperor and the queen mother to say goodbye, and the emperor and the queen mother are blessed with Jin'an!"
The two girls behind him saw Long Yan for the first time, and they were terrified, but they didn't embarrass their masters in the end, and they kowtowed to the two of them with the same courtesy.
"Slave maid Jin He/Jin Miao to the emperor and the queen, please say goodbye!"
After the two of them spoke, Xu Baolin's trembling voice came from behind them: "Concubine...... Concubine to the emperor...... Your Majesty, please be in peace! Empress...... Greetings to the Queen! ”
Zhao Nuoqing lowered his head, without any expression on his face, but there was a faint displeasure in his heart.
Xu Baolin was so anxious to drive her away, because he was afraid that she would steal his limelight and gain the emperor's favor.
But she never thought that she was a step late, and directly ran into the emperor and queen, and I don't know how Xu Baolin felt at the moment?
She had no intention of competing for favor, but when she saw that there was no one around her to serve, she felt pity, and she was going to leave when Xu Baolin drank the medicine.
But Xu Baolin didn't miss her and was sincerely comforted, and was almost implicated and punished by her, and only calculated against her, which is really chilling!
Now that she has lost her honor in front of the palace again, I am afraid that the emperor will no longer be interested in pampering her, and her calculation is afraid that it will be in vain!
Looking at Xu Baolin, who was messy under the bed and trembling like a sieve, the emperor's eyes really showed a look of disgust.
Today, he ordered that the eunuchs were not allowed to hold an umbrella for him, and it was expected that the concubines would follow suit, but it was only half an hour, but he didn't expect Xu Baolin's body to be so weak.
Shen Bochen had a faint hint of anger in his heart.
After the Queen Mother was sent to Cining Palace, he thought about coming over to condole, firstly to relieve the guilt in his heart, and secondly, to block the mouths of the people, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the door, he saw Xu Baolin fall out of bed uncharacteristically, which was really ugly!
Looking down at Zhao Cairen at his feet, he was wearing a goose-yellow brocade skirt, his hair was meticulously pulled, and there was an apricot hairpin of the same color inserted on it, and his slender neck was slightly exposed, looking refreshing and eye-catching.
Seeing this, the queen immediately sent the palace maid Qingyan behind her to help Xu Baolin up, and said with a smile: "Xu Baolin's body has not healed yet, and he must have a good life and recuperate!" Where is the palace maid next to you? Why don't you have anyone to wait? ”
The queen's voice recalled Shen Bochen's thoughts, and said coldly with a slightly gloomy face: "No courtesy!" ”
Xu Baolin stood up tremblingly with the support of Qingyan.
Without waiting for Xu Baolin to answer, the queen turned to look at Zhao Nuoqing and asked with a smile: "Is Zhao Cairen leaving?" ”
Zhao Nuoqing lowered his eyebrows, bowed to the queen, and said truthfully: "Back to the queen's mother, exactly, Xu Baolin said that she drank the medicine and became sleepy, so let the concubine go back to rest first!" ”
Listening to Zhao Nuoqing's words, the queen immediately understood after a little thought.
She said that the emperor and she would come to see them, and Xu Baolin couldn't wait to drive Zhao Nuoqing away.
Clumsy means!
So commented the Queen.
The queen's face was slightly cold, and her eyes looked at Xu Baolin with a little annoyance.
The emperor seemed to be ignorant, and said lightly: "Xu Baolin is a grateful person, reward!" ”
Such a sentence made Xu Baolin almost faint with excitement, only to see the queen's suddenly cold eyes, thinking that the little careful thought in his heart was discovered by the queen, and he was panicking, he never thought that the emperor would praise her, and the panic in his heart instantly resolved a lot.
Heart: The emperor is the king of a country and the head of a family, as long as the emperor is distressed and likes her!
The queen didn't tear her down, and said with a smile: "Since the emperor rewarded Xu Baolin, the palace will reward Zhao Cairen, so outsiders will not say that you and I care about one or the other!" Zhao Cairen, raise your head! ”
Zhao Nuoqing raised her head obediently, her eyes were also lowered, but she was puzzled in her heart, I don't know what to do with her raising her head?
After a moment, the queen's slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Bengong is not mistaken, it is really a beautiful embryo, and it is three points more beautiful than Concubine Jin!"
It is rumored that Concubine Jin is the first beauty in the capital, with outstanding appearance, and she is the daughter of the second-class member of the court, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the proud daughter of the sky.
Zhao Nuoqing hurriedly lowered his head and made a humble appearance: "The concubine is afraid!" How dare Concubine Pu Liu's posture be compared with Concubine Jin's mother! ”
"Humph!"
Zhao Nuoqing frowned slightly, feeling as if she was hallucinating, she seemed to hear a soft hum from the emperor's nostrils, as if she was disdainful and contemptuous, in short, it was not a good feeling.
Is this soft snort to her or to the queen?
Although the voice was very soft, the queen also heard it clearly.
The queen had no dissatisfaction on her face, pretended not to hear, and continued to say to Zhao Nuoqing: "Zhao Cairen doesn't have to be self-conscious! There are many concubines in the harem, and when they came to drink tea and chat in the past, they didn't seem to have seen Zhao Cairen? But haven't slept yet? ”。
Zhao Nuoqing's face was marked with a hint of embarrassment and shyness, and he didn't know how the queen saw it, so he said stubbornly: "Yes!" The concubine has never been bed! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Nuoqing instantly felt a very hot gaze hit him above his head.
The queen raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "In this case, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, and this palace will reward you with a gift...... Is it okay to sleep with the emperor today? ”
Zhao Nuoqing's heart fell suddenly, like a thunderbolt from the sky, and she was at a loss.
Jin Miao and Jin He behind him were excited, but they didn't dare to show it, and Xu Baolin, who was ignored on the side, was full of jealousy.
Zhao Nuoqing was so flustered that he didn't know how to answer, and suddenly the emperor's slightly stunned voice came from above his head, "Nonsense!" Which concubine do I want to pamper, do I still need the queen's arrangement? ”
The queen said indifferently: "As the queen of the middle palace, the concubine chooses an innocent and good-looking woman for the emperor to be the emperor's heir, which is a matter within the concubine's share, how can it be considered nonsense?" ”
Listening to the words that the two seemed to be arguing, Zhao Nuoqing was surprised.
Aren't the emperor and queen very affectionate and affectionate? Nowadays, they are quarrelling?
Zhao Nuoqing lowered his head, hoping that at this moment, he was deaf and blind, unable to see or hear, so that he could avoid the embarrassment in front of him.
However, they seem to feel that she is not more embarrassed than that.
The emperor suppressed the anger in his throat, and said coldly as if he was angry: "Don't bother the queen!" I think Zhao Cairen is much better than the queen's eyes, as Zhao Cairen said, she is just a willow posture, I see, it is not as delicate as Xu Baolin, soft and lovely, tonight, I will turn Xu Baolin's brand! Come on, send Xu Baolin to the Yangrong Palace! ”
After all, the emperor didn't care about the queen behind him, and left on his own
