Chapter 103: Receiving the Order
Shen Qingjiao's voice was filled with fear: "Gonggong Chen said that tomorrow is the death day of the first emperor's concubine and Zhao Guiji. β
"What?" The Queen Mother was dazed for a moment, and then suddenly stood up on the couch, she walked back and forth in the hall quickly, and the clicking sound of the soft embroidered shoes fell on Shen Qingjiao's ears at this moment, like the sound of flowing silk and bamboo, which was extremely pleasant.
Her breath trembled, and she couldn't imagine that one day she would be like her, trying her best to disturb a pool of clear water, but the days of people fighting for fish and meat were really hard, Shen Qingjiao glanced at the faintly falling moon figure on the door of the palace, and closed her autumn eyes.
The queen mother walked around, and quickly calmed down, she just heard the word 'Zhao Guiji', she was really upset, the woman who gave birth to the emperor is now probably a touch of red face and dry bones underground, but her child, the child who has been raised under her knees for more than ten years, still thinks about her.
The Queen Mother sat on the couch in a gloomy manner, the appearance of the victory in the past seemed to be a passing eye, her well-maintained hands, kneading her eyebrows, and she was unwilling to say: "This is the mourning family forgot, tomorrow is really the birth mother of the saint, the death day of Zhao Guiji, no wonder the saint will refute the meaning of the mourning family, I'm afraid the saint is blaming the mourning family in his heart at this time, right?" β
"The Holy One won't." Shen Qingjiao slowly moved her knees and said, "Queen Mother, you have raised the Holy Lord for more than ten years, and how the Holy Lord treats you is obvious to everyone in the palace. And you have been personally experienced in the past, so how can the Holy One blame you? The concubine just heard the words of the saint, and she only heard the voice of loneliness, and there was no resentment at all. If Niangniang makes up for it now, it may not be too late. β π Ό.π₯πππ©π.βπ ΎπΌ
"Really?" The Queen Mother muttered to herself, her heart slowly fell silent, she seemed to be thinking about Shen Qingjiao's words, and she also seemed to be making peace with herself, people have been dead for so long, why should there be a dislike between her and Xiao Qi for irrelevant matters.
After all, Xiao Qi is no longer a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, but an emperor who rules the world, and between her and Xiao Qi, what can maintain peace is the nurturing feelings over the years, not the grace of birth.
In the past, many trivial matters in the harem have consumed too much closeness between Xiao Qi and her, if tomorrow's things can't be good, I'm afraid that there will really be an invisible gap between her and Xiao Qi.
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, stared at Shen Qingjiao, who was still honestly kneeling on the ground, and sighed: "Get up, this matter, it is the mourning family who blames you, and it is also a loss for you to say this, otherwise the mourning family and the saint will be divided because of this." β
"Concubine, thank you Queen Mother." Shen Qingjiao clenched her teeth tightly, holding her knees and barely straightening her back, but below her knees seemed to be gnawed by thousands of ants, she slowly moved over to the embroidered pier next to the queen mother's fingertips, sat down halfway to the side, lowered her eyebrows and said: "Actually, the queen mother doesn't call the concubine to come, and the concubine also knows that this matter is too important, and she will tell the mother truthfully." β
"In the past, Aunt Wang and the Queen Mother remembered these things together, and naturally they would not forget, after Aunt Wang left the palace, the concubine hurriedly took over, but I didn't have the opportunity to listen to Aunt Wang talk about it, so I never knew about it. In the final analysis, this is a mistake left by the concubine when she was on an errand. Shen Qingjiao lowered her head in shame: "The concubine should understand everything clearly, even if there is something she doesn't understand, she should ask the Queen Mother in detail, as an aunt in charge or a person who serves the palace closely, she should solve problems for the Queen Mother, not add to your troubles." Aunt Wang once taught her concubines that palace maids should not neglect their duties, not talk too much, and not tell right and wrong, but should do their part well and be cautious. β
"The concubine didn't do well enough. So much so that the people under him have not done a good job at this moment. Shen Qingjiao knelt down again and said: "This is the negligence of the concubine when she was in office, and I also ask the queen mother to forgive her sins." β
Shen Qingjiao knelt in front of the Queen Mother with a humble attitude, but right now, she knelt here as a holy concubine, not as a female official or aunt in charge of the Ci'an Palace, the Queen Mother could blame her for not serving Xiao Qi and the queen with all her heart, but she couldn't blame her for not reminding the falling moon and the frost, in fact, this matter was not even known to her for the half year she was on duty.
Of course, the Queen Mother understands this truth, not only will she not punish Shen Qingjiao for this, but she will be grateful to her, but when the moon falls, it is difficult to say.
In his position, seek his position, take his responsibility, and do his job, this kind of truth, presumably the moon has suffered a loss, and you can understand it.
After Shen Qingjiao came out of the Ci'an Palace, she passed by the falling moon, and the faint coolness in her eyes was like the rustic cold wind that hit the yellow leaves in early autumn, which made the falling moon shudder, I don't know why.
