Chapter 24: Difficulty

Concubine Shu slowly put down the teacup in her hand and asked coldly, "What's wrong?" One by one, as if they were crying and mourning, what happened? ”

Han Baolin immediately stepped up attentively and said with a smile: "Back to Concubine Shu, yesterday the emperor summoned Lin Cairen to sleep, and all the sisters felt sorry for Zhao Cairen!" ”

Seeing Han Baolin's such a courteous appearance, everyone present understood, thinking that Han Baolin was in love with Concubine Shu, no wonder he dared to provoke Zhao Cairen so much.

I heard Concubine Shu sneer, her dancΓ΄me-painted nails were bright red and gorgeous, gently knocked on the tea table, and said lightly: "Isn't this the case in the palace, what if you are beautiful, you still need family background and luck, you newcomers, stay up one by one!" ”

The concubines all lowered their heads and covered the resentment in their eyes.

It didn't take long for the harem concubines to come, and the queen was also seated.

Lin Cairen came a little later today, but he didn't miss the time, but even so, he was still ridiculed by Concubine Shu.

"Lin Cairen looks like this, I don't know who he is doing it for? Which of the concubines present has never slept in bed? It's not necessarily that everyone came so late like you, isn't it that Lin Cairen has the support of his brother who is the champion, so he doesn't take the queen in his eyes? It's just a champion, when will he become the prime minister, Lin Cairen will be pampered and proud again! ”

Concubine Shu's implication is that you are not qualified at the moment!

Lin Cairen didn't know where to offend Concubine Shu, and also involved her brother, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and accused the queen, "Niangniang, the concubine didn't come late on purpose, it was the concubine who was snooze, and it had nothing to do with the concubine's brother, and asked Niangniang to punish the concubine!" ”

The queen glanced at the concubine who had to look for the concubine every day, and every time she had to ease the scene and make a look of harem harmony, she was really bored, but she had to do it.

"Concubine Shu is joking with you, but she didn't come early, but it's not too late, you served the emperor hard last year, get up quickly!"

Lin Cairen thanked the queen and sat down tremblingly.

Concubine Shu was dissatisfied and was about to say something more, but was interrupted by the queen on the grounds of discussing the birthday of the queen mother.

In a few days, it will be the fiftieth birthday of the Queen Mother, so the emperor, who was originally going to the palace to spend the summer, also canceled the trip and decided to hold a grand birthday banquet for the Queen Mother in the palace.

The queen mother handed over this matter to Concubine Yi and Concubine Jin, Concubine Shu was dissatisfied, but she couldn't speak, who made the family the queen of the middle palace?

At the beginning, her father told her that she was able to enter the palace only in order to contain the queen, and now that she has given birth to a prince, in order to maintain balance, she naturally must no longer be tainted with the power of the six palaces.

However, the queen actually asked Zhao Nuoqing to assist from the side, this partiality was really obvious, and Concubine Shu gritted her teeth angrily.

After a while, the wind suddenly rose outside, and the smoke came in a hurry, and it seemed like it was going to rain outside.

The queen's body fell ill three years ago, and it was very uncomfortable on a rainy day, and today it was supposed to avoid the morning and dusk, but the queen mother's birthday banquet could not be delayed, so she had to support her body to come.

Later, Zhao Nuoqing was left alone, and he said a few words before letting her go.

There was no sedan chair below Jieyu, and when Zhao Nuo cleared out of Fengwu Palace, there was no trace of other concubines outside. Seeing that the wind was getting more and more urgent, and the umbrella could not be played, she and Jin Miao had to speed up their pace and rush to Lingyun Pavilion.

Halfway through, suddenly a sedan chair came out of front of him, Zhao Nuoqing's master and servant hurriedly stopped, she didn't know who was sitting on the sedan chair, but she recognized the palace maid Lanzhi standing next to the sedan chair, she was the personal maid of the concubine.

The one in the sedan chair must be a concubine.

Thinking that Concubine Shu has never liked her, the eyes that look at her today are even more like eating people, and she met here so coincidentally, I am afraid that she will inevitably suffer a little today.

Sure enough, I saw Zhilan's thin eyebrows tightly locked, and she scolded angrily, "What kind of body is panicking?" What should I be guilty of disturbing the lady lady? ”

Jin Miao wanted to argue, but it was obvious that they suddenly rushed out to block their way, and besides, the Baohua Palace where Concubine Shu lived was not on this road, why did they collide?

can think of Jin He's entrustment, and the vast family background of Concubine Shu, if he accidentally speaks quickly for a while, it will inevitably drag down the master, so he swallowed the words back into his stomach.

Zhao Nuoqing glanced at Jin Miao with relief, Concubine Shu and the others here must be to give her a trumped-up charge, so as to punish her, since she knows this, it is better to follow her, and suffer less, and after she leaves, she will go to the queen for help.

So he bent his knees and confessed to Concubine Shu: "Back to Concubine Shu, because it is going to rain, the wind is too fast and the umbrella cannot be opened, the concubine is in a hurry, and I didn't see the concubine's sedan chair, it is the concubine's fault!" ”

As he spoke, a thin thread of rain was already floating in the sky, revealing a cold chill on his face.

Concubine Shu sneered, but she didn't expect this Zhao Cairen to be so knowledgeable about current affairs, and said coldly: "Since you know your mistake, you have to keep this matter firmly in mind, Zhao Cairen will kneel here for a few hours and remember it, when will the rain stop, when will you come back!" ”

After that, he looked at Jin Miao and said, "And you, a cheap maid, don't know how to admonish your master, just kneel together!" By the way, the queen is not feeling well, I think you should be embarrassed to disturb the mother, right? ”

After that, Concubine Shu sat on the sedan chair with a smug smile and left slowly.

Concubine Shu's words broke her way to find the queen's support, so she could only kneel on the ground obediently.

Jin Miao didn't expect that his master had only served once in bed, and he was bullied like this if he didn't really serve in bed, if he really went to bed, what would it be?

Sure enough, competing for favor is not a good livelihood, and I immediately began to miss the days when I was not favored but carefree.

Zhao Nuoqing comforted her a few words and told her to kneel obediently and stop talking nonsense.

Zhao Nuoqing said: "Today, I let you accompany me to suffer, and I will go back and buy you candy to eat!" ”

After that, Jin Miao burst out laughing and wiped away the tears on her face, "The slave is not a child, why do you still use sugar to coax the slave and the maid!" ”

On another palace road separated from the two, Shen Bochen, who was sitting on the sedan chair, smiled so happily when he saw the master and servant being punished, it was the first time he could still laugh when he was punished!

Suddenly, the heavy rain poured down without warning, and Han Mingde, who was silently watching all this, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's raining, do you still go to Concubine Shu?" ”

Thinking of Concubine Fang Cai's domineering appearance, a look of disgust appeared in Shen Bochen's eyes.

"Concubine Shu is still in the mood to punish people, thinking that the eldest prince's illness is just her excuse, don't go!"

Yesterday evening, Concubine Shu sent someone to say that the eldest prince was unwell and asked the emperor to come and take a look.

The eldest prince has just passed his fourth birthday, and his physique has always been strong, and he is said to be unwell, but I am afraid that it is just an excuse for the concubine to compete for favor.

When Han Mingde reported this matter to the emperor, Lin Cairen was already in Yangrong Palace.
