Chapter 140: Closest Relatives and Aliens Are Husband and Wife (7)
"Niangniang, this is the white fungus soup stewed in the small kitchen, Your Highness Sixth will be able to drink it when you come back later!"
Jinxiu brought the white fungus soup over, and looked at her own mother's eyebrows and smiled, and felt happy, as long as her master was happy.
"Don't worry, I'm afraid there are a lot of homework for today, it's normal to go back later, and more importantly, I can't lose to the queen's son!"
Concubine Li put down the teacup and couldn't help but smile when she thought of what had happened in the past six months.
"You say it's ridiculous, Your Majesty brought back a woman from the people, who looks similar to the queen, do you think this is the queen was defeated by herself?"
After finishing speaking, I also felt funny, and couldn't help but cover my mouth and chuckle a few words, these things seemed ridiculous to outsiders, were I defeated by myself?
"Niang Niang said very much, but if that Mrs. Qionghua doesn't look like the queen, maybe she won't be taken by His Majesty, let alone brought back to the palace, now everyone sees it, this stand-in seems to have surpassed the queen, after all, she is younger and cuter."
Jinxiu echoed, what she said is also true, no one can see it, the current His Majesty's favorite is Mrs. Qionghua, even if she is indifferent by the queen
"Being young and beautiful is a woman's greatest confidence, the queen may have thought that there will be today? In the past, I have always been a little proud in front of this palace, thinking that I have obtained His Majesty's sincerity, and I think that there is no one to replace the relationship between their former husband and wife for more than ten years.
But God made such a big joke, and then he can compare to any woman but not to himself when he was young! β
Concubine Li ridiculed and sighed, for a woman, old age and decay are the biggest curse, even for the queen, she can't be compared with the younger and more beautiful Mrs. Qionghua.
"Mrs. Qionghua is only seventeen years old this year, she looks innocent and simple, and even stupid is a little naΓ―ve, with her temper, why can she be so tolerated by His Majesty? I thought it would be enough to be spoiled for a few months, but I didn't expect that after so long, Your Majesty still likes it so much! β
Jinxiu was a little dissatisfied, holding grievances for her master, in the past, His Royal Highness's favorite was the queen, and now he has changed Mrs. Qionghua, when will it be their turn?
"If you like it, you like it, it's not a big deal, anyway, Your Majesty hasn't thought of me for a long time, as long as this time can make the queen suffer the same, it's a happy event!"
Concubine Li smiled disdainfully, compared to seeing the queen proud, she naturally hoped that she would feel the same pain of being alone in the empty room, so that she felt fair!
"That's what the mother said."
Jinxiu nodded.
"Didn't Mrs. Qionghua be reprimanded by the queen last time, and was she wronged when she went back? His Majesty even went to talk about the queen because of this matter, since she was so wronged, then the palace naturally wanted to go and see! β
Concubine Li smiled.
Qionghua has been staying in his palace for several days, and after being sarcastically ridiculed by Tao Yao last time, he was already holding his breath, and His Majesty told him to be a little more peaceful.
Obviously, he was wronged, but why did he only say these words to him, why didn't he say them to the queen
"Ma'am, what's the matter? It's been days, are you still angry? β
Cherry asked cautiously, I don't know what is wrong with my master, this is not satisfied, that is not satisfied, as if nothing is good.
"In the past, when I was in the people, I didn't dare to imagine what life in the palace was like, but now that I really live in the palace, I know that it is nothing more than that! Except for Your Majesty, there is no one who likes me!
They looked at me with so disdain, and they all felt that I didn't deserve to stand here, especially the queen mother, she didn't like me and looked down on me, how can I be happy! β
Qionghua bit her lip aggrievedly, she really felt aggrieved, wasn't she His Majesty's favorite woman, why did she suffer so many grievances?
It's not that I don't know what those concubines say, they all say that she is spoiled and proud, and they all say that she is a small family and can't be on the stage, but so what, didn't she win?
But I really feel very aggrieved when I am excluded every day, not to mention that the queen takes the lead in looking down on herself.
What is there to be dissatisfied with, you have become a queen, do you still want to occupy a heart of Your Majesty, it's really stingy!
"Madame, don't care about this, now you are the person on the tip of Your Majesty's heart, they are naturally jealous, and they will definitely say some sour things, if Madame minds, won't it make them satisfied?"
Cherry comforted that it was a very lucky thing to be sent to serve Mrs. Qionghua, because she was really loved by His Majesty, not an ordinary favorite.
"Forget about the concubines, but I just can't get used to the queen's attitude towards me, why is the queen so careful, why can't she tolerate me alone, it's good to other concubines, but it's not good for me?"
Speaking of the most angry place, Qionghua pulled the handkerchief vigorously, feeling really wronged.
Cherry lowered her head and didn't dare to say anything, because everyone could see why Mrs. Qionghua was favored, and I was afraid that it was because of this that the queen would really mind.
In fact, the former queen mother was not like this at all, she was really generous and gentle, but she didn't seem to be the same for Mrs. Qionghua, as if she really minded the existence of Mrs. Qionghua.
"What are you talking about, sister?"
Hearing the voice outside, Qiong Hua quickly stopped her mouth and didn't say anything, listening to the voice, she knew that it was Concubine Li, the only one who was willing to treat her better.
"Why is Sister Concubine Li here today?"
Qionghua hurriedly got up to greet her, after all, there are so many concubines, and only Concubine Li is willing to talk to herself and give some good faces.
"Before I came in just now, I heard my sister's complaining voice, why did I encounter any grievances? Your Majesty loves you so much, who else would dare to bully you? β
Concubine Li held Qionghua's hand to salute, and the two sat down together, with cherries pouring tea on the side.
"I didn't expect it to make my sister laugh, but I just said a few words to myself, except for my sister who was willing to say a few words with me, none of the other concubines were willing to pay attention to me."
Qiong Hua shook her head helplessly, it is impossible to see Your Majesty all the time in the palace, except for Your Majesty, no one can say these words, and as the days go by, she naturally feels bored.
Especially Concubine Shu, who looks down on herself even more when she is close to the queen, and often acts as cynicism, which is really annoying!
"It's okay, it's just that it's really pitiful to see my sister alone in the palace, the situation in the harem is like this, the tree is big, my sister is being favored now, isn't it just a thorn in their side?"
Concubine Li smiled and patted Qionghua's hand softly and comforted, seeing the other party's white and tender face, she was really a little emotional.
Sure enough, it's a young girl, people of their age are really incomparable, even if they are coated with thick fat powder, but there are still traces of time on their faces.
Especially this young girl will not hide it, if there is any emotion, it will really be directly expressed on her face, when she is happy, she will smile, and when she is unhappy, she will lower her head and bite her lip aggrievedly.
Sometimes it's stupid, but it's also stupid, cute and naΓ―ve, and it's really no wonder that His Majesty likes him more and more, and she even likes it more than the Queen.
"It turns out that the people in the harem are so terrible, but I think all this is clearly what the queen meant, she doesn't like me, how dare those concubines get close to me!"
Qionghua bit her lip, blaming the queen both inside and outside her words.
In fact, the queen minds her existence, how can she not mind the queen?
The face is seven points similar, but the queen is old, the tiredness in her eyes can't be hidden, she is almost thirty years old, where can she compare herself?
"My sister is young and ignorant, but you can't talk nonsense in this palace, even if you know what's going on in your heart, you can only hide it in your heart, you can't say it, you know?"
Concubine Li seemed to be startled, and hurriedly whispered to dissuade her, but she acquiesced in this sentence.
"Sister Concubine Li is still good to me, willing to talk to me so much, I think only Sister Concubine Li is a good person in the palace!"
So I don't dare to say such things again, but Qionghua is still unconvinced after all, who wants to suffer so many grievances inexplicably?
"Okay, okay, sister, don't think about this anymore, another month is the queen's birthday, has my sister thought about what kind of gift to give at that time?"
Concubine Li raised her eyebrows and asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Even if I prepare something that is good, the queen will not look at it, she doesn't like me in the first place, how can she look at what I have prepared?"
Qionghua was very irritable, how could there be so many rules in the palace, but the queen was the biggest, and she could only listen to her for everything, not even if she wanted to say a few words in private.
"Sister, this is wrong, whether the queen likes it or not, the way our concubines should be done or the gifts that should be prepared still need to be prepared seriously. Otherwise, the queen will blame you, and then it will be a troublesome matter, does my sister really want to make the situation like this? β
Concubine Li sighed, kindly persuaded her, and couldn't help but smile when she saw Qiong Hua's frowning brows getting deeper and deeper.
What a stupid little girl, just a few words can really get angry and rejoice.
This is both a good and a bad thing about being young.
"Sister Concubine Li has a point, but I thought wrong, if the queen blames me for this matter, then I can only consider myself unlucky. But my sister also reminded me that what should be done still needs to be done, but I don't know what the queen will like, I am in such a mess that I can't think of anything at all. β
Qionghua was irritable and helpless, preparing a birthday gift for someone who was so annoying was really a very torturous thing, not to mention that she didn't have any thoughts at all, and she didn't know what to prepare at all.
That's the queen, I haven't seen anything good, do you still need these gifts of your own, but you can't do it, even if you pretend to be good.
"I look at the green jade bracelet on your dresser and it seems to be very good, and I know that it is a good jade by looking at the texture, and it can be regarded as being able to handle it."
Concubine Li glanced in the direction of the dresser as she spoke, and when she came over in the past, she accidentally saw this bracelet, the green jade bracelet, and remembered that it had appeared on another person's hand many years ago.
If you give this green jade bracelet on your birthday, wouldn't you be able to think of the bracelet back then, and the memories of the past will come flooding back, I wonder if she can still be happy?
