"Sometimes when I look at Qionghua's appearance that day when I am not afraid, I feel that it is good to be young, I am not afraid of anything, I remember that I used to be like this when I was young, but now I am not young!"

Tao Yao couldn't help but smile and sigh, in fact, this is what the original owner cares about the most.

I think it doesn't matter if there are so many women in the harem, but it can't be Qionghua, who is seven points similar to him, and can defeat anyone, but how can he defeat his once young self?

"Why didn't the queen say that? What is that Qionghua, is it worth treating her as a big problem? ”

Concubine Shu was a little unbearable, she and the queen had been friends for many years, how could she bear to watch each other say such arrogant words, how could the queen bow her head to a lady and admit defeat?

"No, you misunderstood me," Tao Yao smiled and shook her head.

"I never regarded her as a big problem, but I just looked at her with a lot of emotion. Qionghua herself clearly knows in her heart whose light she has to get all this, but she deliberately wants to deny it, so she intentionally or unintentionally made so many things, wanting to prove that His Majesty has an unconditional preference for her, and only in this way will she have a sense of security. ”

"Since the queen has thought it through, then I am relieved."

Concubine Shu felt a false alarm, and she was still worried that the queen would become busy because of Qionghua's appearance, but she had been affected by the queen's mood in the past few months, and several things in the harem had not been taken care of.

Fortunately, it was himself and Concubine Xian who assisted him, so he didn't make the worst impact.

Mrs. Qionghua doesn't care about herself, she can do whatever she wants without restraint, even if she really does something wrong, she only needs to say that Her Majesty loves her, and she can fool the past if she doesn't understand the rules from the people in the past.

But the queen can't do it, the queen has to manage all the affairs of the harem, as long as one thing is not done well and something goes wrong, then the reputation accumulated in the past is gone!

"Seeing Niangniang so calm today, I am also relieved, every time I feel Niangniang's mood is affected by Qionghua, I really feel worried, now it seems that everything has passed!"

Concubine Shu is really completely relieved now, as long as the queen is emotionally stable, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

No matter how Qionghua is, she is just a lady, not to mention that she can get these favors because she looks similar to the queen, so what is there to be afraid of?

"Okay, okay, you don't have to worry about me, I've been a queen for so many years, what else can't I bear," Tao Yao said with a smile.

"What's going on with the noble Wan? Half a month ago, she had a dispute with Mrs. Qionghua, and His Majesty punished her heavily, so that she thought about it in her own palace, her temperament has always been soft, you and I know that all this is done by Qionghua on purpose, and the noble people are afraid that they will feel wronged in their hearts. ”

Speaking of Wan Guiren, Tao Yao is a little worried, she has a lower status, she often suffers some grievances, and her temperament is weak, and she can't be bullied by Qionghua in vain.

"Don't worry, Concubine Xian and I both remember it, Wan Guiren is a peaceful person, Qionghua only dares to bully her!"

Concubine Shu smiled disdainfully, in addition to the factor of befriending the queen, she really didn't like Mrs. Qionghua, and she really had a feeling of being a little nonsense.

But what can be done about this, what can Your Majesty do if you like, all the good things will be sent to Mrs. Qionghua, and even this title is taken by Your Majesty himself.

"In a few days, you go to see her in person, in the end, I am also the queen, and it is impossible to really let a lady behave indiscriminately, the harem really has to be taken care of."

Tao Yao put down the teacup with a solemn face.

In the days when the original owner was angry with Qionghua, he must not have been so sad about the affairs of the harem, and some noble ladies would also be bullied by Qionghua, making the harem restless.

But Qionghua is a little clever, and the trouble is all about these trivial things, even if Xiao He knows, he will only turn a blind eye and will not take it seriously at all.

"Yes."

Concubine Shu smiled and nodded, as long as the queen cheered up, she would have reached this age, what else could she not see?

When Tao Yao returned to Fengyi Palace, she didn't expect to see a person, it was Xiao He.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

was just stunned for a second and saluted respectfully, the person in front of her was Xiao He, the husband of the original owner, and the relationship she had been married for decades was the most she couldn't let go, so she felt so desperate for Qionghua's appearance.

"Did the queen go to see Lin'an? Is she okay? ”

Xiao He waved his hand and asked all the people who were waiting to stand down, every time he got along with the queen in the past few months, he always didn't talk speculatively, and it was not good for people to stand here and watch jokes.

"Lin'an's body is already well, and after a day or two, Fu'an can go and play with her."

Thinking of Lin'an's well-behaved and lovely face, Tao Yao couldn't help but smile, the two little princesses of Lin'an and Fu'an are so cute and have similar temperaments, no wonder they can all play together.

"Qionghua cried after she came back yesterday, and you showed her face again? This has been said many times, Qionghua is still young from the people, and she doesn't know so many rules at all, not to mention that she hasn't made any big trouble. You, as the queen, have also reached this age, why can't you tolerate her as a little girl? ”

Sure enough, things are back to business after all, and Xiao He's purpose is for Qionghua.

He looked at his wife, who had accompanied him through many years of ups and downs, and suddenly felt a little strange, which was fundamentally different from the person he imagined, and he didn't have that kind of generous and dignified and gentle feeling at all, but was inexplicably a little more mean.

They are all already people of this age, why should they have a seventeen-year-old girl?

"Who did Your Majesty think of when he looked at me? Is it thinking of the time we used to spend together? Or did you think of Qionghua? ”

Tao Yao asked indifferently, looking directly into Xiao He's eyes, and was also curious about who the person he saw in the other party's heart was.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao He was stunned suddenly, there were many unspoken questions to ask, but he suddenly couldn't say them, when he came over, he just wanted to have a few words with the queen, don't worry about Qionghua.

But now I can't say anything, and it seems strange to see the queen's eyes.

"What do you think I'm talking nonsense?" Tao Yao sneered and stepped forward step by step.

"When I first married His Majesty, I was still a princess at that time, so I had to manage the affairs of the palace in an orderly manner, and later I did more things that the queen managed. Not to mention that there are many people in the harem, and there are thousands of strategies for concubines to compete for favor, and they have to protect every prince and princess to grow up safely, and if something goes wrong, that is the responsibility of me, the queen!

I'm not yet 30 years old this year, and I have gray hair on my head, and sometimes I feel like I have fine wrinkles on my face when I look at the bronze mirror, which can't be compared with when I was 17 or 8 years old! “

While talking, those memories of the original owner came to mind, there are a lot of things in the harem, there are really a lot, if you do it well, it should be, and if you don't do it well, you have to accept the blame.

Not to mention that there are so many concubines, they all have their own careful thoughts, and the means of making a small fuss are not counted, if something serious happens, it is the responsibility of the queen's poor management.

Not to mention that all the princes and princesses have to be raised well, which princess is sick, she, the queen, also has to go and see, after so many years of hard work, how can the original owner still be as innocent and delicate as a seventeen-year-old girl?

"Why did the queen suddenly talk about this?"

Xiao He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and what he wanted to say for Qionghua was completely unspeakable.

When I brought Qionghua back, I also felt that I was a little ashamed of the queen, but so what, what kind of big deal is it to bring a woman back?

"If I don't talk about this, Your Majesty is afraid that I will forget it in the morning, or I will get used to it, and I don't think there is anything at all? When you brought Qionghua back, you said that she was seven points similar to me, seventeen or eighteen years old was when she was young, she was so reckless and unreasonable in front of me, and even stupid to the point of being a little naïve! ”

When it came to Qionghua, Tao Yao's face was full of disdain, not at all like before, and she quarreled with Xiao He as soon as she heard the word Qionghua.

The original owner really hated these two words, and when he heard them, he felt uncomfortable, and his heart was depressed, and he couldn't get better.

But Tao Yao is different, she doesn't care about all this at all, she doesn't care about Qionghua, she doesn't care about Xiao He.

"I won't let you say that about her!" Xiao He was furious, "Qionghua is the person I personally brought back, if you look down on her, does it mean that you look down on me!" ”

"It seems that Qionghua's position in His Majesty's heart is really important!"

Tao Yao smiled, Xiao He actually said such things for Qionghua, and even said that the other party represented his face.

"Father, mother."

Xiao Yan and Fu'an pushed the door in at some point, looking as if they had been standing outside the door for a long time and heard the words inside.

"Why are you two outside? What did you hear? ”

Tao Yao turned to look at the two villains, Xiao He didn't expect the two children to come over, but he restrained his temper a little.

"Lady Qionghua! Why is it always Mrs. Qionghua! Why did she show up! As soon as the father and mother appeared, they always quarreled so much! I hate her! I really hate her."

Fu'an was younger, and when he stood outside and heard the quarrel inside, he couldn't stop crying, and when he came in, he saw his father with an angry face, and he really felt that everything had changed!

broke free from Xiao Yan's hand and ran out crying.

Xiao Yan is much older and calmer, but there is also disappointment and helplessness in his eyes, he never thought that his father and mother, who once loved each other, would quarrel like this, and he, like his sister, did not like to hear the words Mrs. Qionghua.

"Does the father really want to say these words to the queen mother for the sake of a lady Qionghua? After so many years of hard work of the queen mother, in the eyes of her father, she can't compare to a lady Qionghua? ”

Xiao Yan bit his lip and looked at his father, who was once so loving, in fact, at this moment he also wanted to run out like his sister, he didn't want to face all this here, but he inexplicably wanted to get an answer.

"Enough is enough, Queen, now you can't even discipline your own children, dare to talk to me so boldly?"

Xiao He was a little dodgy, and when he reacted just now, he also felt that that sentence was a bit excessive, but it had already been spoken, and it was impossible to take it back.

Seeing this reaction, he knew what it meant, Xiao Yan wiped away a handful of tears, and also turned around and ran out.

"At the beginning, you said that you liked Qionghua because she looked like me, but now that I'm here, you have transferred all your love to her, do you think it's a ridiculous thing?"

Looking at the backs of the two children who really wanted to run out, Tao Yao really felt ridiculous, it was good to let the two children know, there shouldn't be too many illusions.

The children in the harem have never been one or two of them, how can the royal family affection be so simple?

"You're enough! That's enough! I'm afraid that the older you get, the more confused you become, and now you will only talk and contradict everywhere! But I was wrong, Qionghua and you are not like you at all, not as disgusting as you! She is well-behaved and obedient in everything, and this alone is obedient! ”

Xiao He was so angry that he threw his sleeves and turned his back to Tao Yao, he is the emperor, and there is no reason to tolerate it, even if it is against the queen and his wife who has been with him for so many years.
