Chapter 14 The Queen Mother Recommends
Seeing this, Xu Cairen and the others who were sitting at the end were full of indignation and unwillingness, and one of them, Wei Baolin, who had helped Xu Cairen speak before, snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Looking at the harmless appearance, I never thought it was a scheming fox!" How can she serve the Queen Mother? Even if we want to serve, it should be our emperor's favorite Xu Cairen! ”
When Xu Cairen heard this, he agreed very much in his heart, and couldn't help but feel jealous, but his face looked like he had been wronged, only staring at the back of Zhao Cairen in front of him, silent.
Lin Cairen, who was sitting in front of them, was full of displeasure, listening to the unpopular concubine count Zhao Nuoqing, but somehow, he was very unhappy in his heart. Xu is because Zhao Nuoqing and she are both from Qingzhou City, and they have a feeling of being an old folk, and they both like the hairpins made by Ruoshui, and for a while, they have a little more closeness to Zhao Nuoqing.
Lin Cairen turned around and glanced at Wei Baolin, who was speaking, and scolded angrily: "It is the ability of Zhao Cairen to serve the Queen Mother, if you have the ability, you can also go, see if the Queen Mother will look at you!" Instead of secretly orchestrating others, it is better to think about how you can gain your own favor! Blindly clinging to others, saying some sour and jealous nonsense, it's really useless! ”
After that, Lin Cairen glanced at Xu Cairen meaningfully.
Lin Cairen's brother is the champion of the current department, won the first place during the Spring Festival, and won the emperor's love, although there is no higher official position with him at the moment, but the emperor likes this talented and knowledgeable champion very much, and his liking for him is beyond words, even with the sister of the champion Lang Lin Cairen also looks up to a few points, and the former and the back garden are rumored that the new champion will have a bright future in the future.
Therefore, everyone didn't dare to fight against Lin Cairen, Wei Baolin listened to Lin Cairen's ridicule, closed his mouth indignantly, and saw that Xu Cairen only stared at Zhao Cairen who was sitting at the front, and didn't want to help her fight back, she was still fighting for her! I felt a little chill in my heart, and I gradually got bored when I looked at Xu Cairen's flowery appearance.
The stage in front of him was playing "Wangjiang Pavilion", and the sound of gongs and drums resounded in the sky, and he didn't know that the concubines behind him were endlessly talking at this time.
Except for Lin Cairen's side, the four concubines and other concubines who sat under the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother all showed hostility towards Zhao Nuoqing who suddenly appeared next to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and secretly said in their hearts that after the opera is over, they must investigate this Zhao Cairen!
After singing a song, the emperor Shen Bochen came over.
When the concubines saw the emperor like a hungry wolf seeing fresh meat, their eyes were shining, and they got up one after another, scratching their heads and fiddling with their postures, and bowed their knees to the emperor.
The emperor walked from behind the concubines without squinting, through the crowd, and came to the queen mother's side.
Xu Cairen stood in place in a daze, and the emperor clearly passed by her, but he didn't even give her a look, and his heart suddenly gave birth to infinite inferiority.
The emperor, who was greeting his mother in front of him, naturally didn't know that he had inadvertently hurt a woman's weak heart.
A few days ago, the frontier barbarians invaded, he was busy and anxious, coinciding with the return of the queen mother, there were many good news from the frontier, the emperor was in a good mood, looking at the sick Xu Cairen also felt that he was as beautiful as a fairy, coupled with the nourishment of Longen, the original sick Xu Cairen became more and more delicate day by day, and the emperor's heart couldn't help but feel that he was the chosen emperor.
If it weren't for Han Mingde reminding the queen that the queen had set up a banquet for the queen mother today, if he didn't come, the queen mother would definitely think that she and the queen had a disagreement, and she would not be able to eat and sleep again, so she put down the fold and hurried over, even so, he was still late for a long time.
Shen Bochen pleaded with his mother: "The son-in-law reviewed the recital, and almost forgot the banquet that the queen carefully arranged here, and asked the queen mother to forgive the sin!" ”
The Queen Mother lovingly helped Shen Bochen up, and said with a smile: "The emperor cares about his family and the country, and it's too late to mourn and rejoice, how can he blame?" However, the emperor should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, don't be too tired! Think of your father...... Ay! ”
Speaking of the first emperor, the corners of the queen mother's eyes moistened again, the first emperor was too diligent and loved the people, and finally died suddenly in the Qianzheng Palace because of too much work, this is the pain of the queen mother's life, she doesn't want the tragedy to repeat in her son.
The emperor hurriedly comforted, "Queen Mother, don't worry, your sons have time to practice martial arts every day to strengthen their bodies, and they will definitely not let themselves get sick!" ”
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and then took the queen's hand and the emperor's hand and put it together, and said with a smile: "You husband and wife also want to be Qin Se and Ming, as an example for the harem, so that if the mourning family is a hundred years old, they can also go to see the emperor with their heads held high!" ”
The emperor and the queen naturally knew that the queen mother was joking, but they still couldn't help but complain in unison, "Queen Mother! How can you say such a thing again? ”
Seeing that the two had such a tacit understanding, the Queen Mother smiled with relief, and the emperor and the queen also smiled at each other for the sudden tacit understanding, their eyes were full of tenderness and affection.
Behind them, all the concubines gritted their teeth.
Zhao Nuoqing looked at the emperor and the queen in a daze, and his heart was confused again.
The quarrel between the emperor and the queen that day, could it be that she was wrong?
The emperor and the queen are really in love?
The emperor obviously also noticed Zhao Nuoqing, and when he saw Zhao Nuoqing accompanying the Queen Mother, he had doubts in his heart and asked the Queen Mother: "Why is Zhao Cairen here?" ”
Zhao Nuoqing lowered her head in a panic, the Queen Mother glanced back at Zhao Nuoqing on her side, and then looked at the emperor, half serious and half joking: "The mourning family saw that this girl was clever, and she would also repair the marriage token given to the mourning family by your father, and I liked it even more, so I stayed by my side and served!" By the way, the mourning family also heard that Zhao Cairen has not yet slept in bed? Since the emperor has chosen someone to enter the palace, how can he snub them? Could it be that she still thinks that she will be sent out of the palace when she is full of age? ”
Listening to the Queen Mother's jokes, the queen was overjoyed, obviously the Queen Mother had agreed to her request and was willing to help Zhao Nuoqing sleep.
The emperor immediately understood the queen mother's intentions, glanced at the queen with a slight dissatisfaction, and saw that Zhao Cairen lowered his head with a blushing face, trying to reduce his sense of existence, which aroused his interest a little.
If the other concubines heard themselves talking about her, which one didn't try their best to attract his attention?
recalled that day he quarreled with the queen, mistook Zhao Cairen as cannon fodder, and spoiled Xu Cairen but ignored her, she was innocent, at that time he just wanted the queen to know that he, the emperor, could not be angered, although he was ashamed of the queen, but after all, he was the king of a country!
Unexpectedly, the queen actually got up with her, and pushed Zhao Nuoqing in front of the queen mother, asking the queen mother to come forward for her and ask him to pamper Zhao Nuoqing.
What exactly does the queen want to do?
How did Zhao Cairen get into her eyes?
