Step on a branch

Chapter 232
The palace people filed in to serve the emperor and concubine Shu to freshen up.

Eunuch Xu also came in front of him.

The emperor stayed in the harem, and the night watch was originally the job of the concubines and their predecessors, so Eunuch Xu could rest in peace.

It has to be said that Eunuch Xu couldn't rest for a while.

After all, the emperor often tosses and turns at night, which makes him have to be vigilant all the time.

It's not that there are other people on hand, there are so many servants serving in front of the imperial court, they just take turns.

But Eunuch Xu is not at ease.

Those one by one, who knows what the emperor is thinking in his mind, he is confused, if he says something incorrectly, it will anger the emperor...

Among the people involved in the end, isn't there still him, Eunuch Xu?
On this point, Eunuch Xu had no choice but to praise Concubine Shu.

This empress is indeed a celebrity in the Palace of Compassion and Ning, even the empress dowager loves her very much, it can be seen that she has some ability.

Last night, Eunuch Xu was afraid that the maids who were guarding the night would be unreliable, but he didn't expect that if Concubine Shu said a word, they would be dismissed and they would not stay at all, and the emperor would not mention any rules.

If the emperor didn't mention it, Eunuch Xu wouldn't even mention it.

As for what Concubine Shu will hear, Eunuch Xu is not worried.

Could the master and the empress be the same thing as a group of their subordinates?

Besides, the empress is the emperor's concubine, how can she not know who is the lightest and who is the most important?
Eunuch Xu was relieved and fell asleep beautifully.

Waking up in the morning felt indescribably comfortable.

Looking at the emperor's condition again, Eunuch Xu couldn't help but beam with joy.

Look, the emperor is also resting well.

He is relieved, the emperor is at ease, what a wonderful thing.

Eunuch Xu applauded Concubine Shu repeatedly in his heart. It seems that in the future, he will mention Concubine Shu more often in front of the emperor.

She was originally one of the four concubines, and she had been in the palace for a long time. After many years of hard work, she knew how to live in the palace, and was pleased by the empress dowager. The only regret was that she had no children under her knees.

However, Eunuch Xu is not in charge of his heirs, nor is it his turn to worry about them.

The empress will make up her own mind.

It is not so uncommon for a high-ranking concubine to hold one in front of her.

As long as he serves the emperor well and wins over the empress, the days will be very comfortable.

While thinking, Eunuch Xu presented the dragon robe with both hands.

Concubine Shu took it and dressed the emperor carefully.

The emperor asked: "I will come to you for lunch at noon."

Concubine Shu heard the words, her hands didn't stop, she pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Then you can't find the concubine, the concubine made an agreement with the empress dowager before, and go to talk to her today."

This reason is justified.

The emperor will not compete with the empress dowager, and he is happy to have a buffer between mother and child.

No matter how different the mother and child are, they are also connected by blood.

When angry, the emperor would be very annoyed by the empress dowager's forceful dictating, but when his temper is over, he doesn't want the mother and son to be really divorced.

Come to think of it, the queen mother also thought so.

In this way, Concubine Shu became even more important.

Neither the emperor nor the empress dowager liked Empress Cheng, who had a high status;

Concubine Shu is different.

Concubine Shu is favored by the Empress Dowager, and in recent days, the more the Emperor looks at Concubine Shu, the more satisfied she is.

Concubine Shu is the only concubine in the harem that both mother and child love.

This made the emperor pay more attention to Concubine Shu, and he was not dissatisfied with Concubine Shu's rejection.

"Go," said the emperor, "also tell the queen mother that I will be there at noon."

Concubine Shu responded with a clever smile.

After sending the emperor away, Concubine Shu rested for a while before going to the Palace of Compassion.

The empress dowager knew the emperor's movements like the back of her hand, and heard Concubine Shu say that the emperor would come over at noon, she held Concubine Shu's hand and patted it.

Otherwise, why would she love Concubine Shu alone?

She just loves smart kids.

Concubine Shu can comprehend and handle things beautifully without her special instructions or orders.

Sweet mouth, love to share, like to have fun.

Just like Binh Duong.

She treats Pingyang five points well, and Pingyang can respond to her very well, not only in front of her, but when facing the late emperor, Zhao Lin, and everyone, Pingyang has never been stingy with his closeness and love for her.

She didn't have to do any hints or hints, any guidance and urging.

Pingyang will take the initiative to share with others.

This made her feel so relieved.

In recent years, Pingyang has not been as caring towards her as she was when she was young, and the empress dowager can guess the reason why.

Lin Fan.

Posthumous son of Zhao Lin, nephew of Pingyang's direct relative.

Pingyang will definitely turn to Lin Fan, but Pingyang should not be sure about the cause of Zhao Lin's death.

Lin Xuan insisted that Zhao Lin's fall from the horse was an accident, and Pingyang did not go to Mount Tai at that time. She didn't believe Lin Xuan, who could she trust?

With Pingyang's straight-forward and fearless temperament, whenever she had the slightest doubt, she would have broken into the palace with a sword and questioned Zhao Li.

Binh Duong does not.

Either Lin Xuan didn't understand it himself; or Lin Xuan understood Pingyang's temper and deliberately kept it from her.

And this concealment, after a delay, has come to this day.

Pingyang is not what it used to be.

In the eyes of the empress dowager, the more than twenty years of stable life has erased the edges and corners of Pingyang's body, and she is no longer as sharp as before.

The current Pingyang has lost her sharpness, her aura, and her precious guard who only follows her.

The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes, and instead of thinking about Pingyang, she looked at Concubine Shu with a smile.

Concubine Shu is sensible, and she and the emperor's mother and son are the first priority when encountering problems, and will actively relieve their conflicts for their mother and son.

How can such a smart concubine not be favored by her?

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Before you rewarded your ministers and concubines with the tranquilizing fragrance, the emperor also said that it smells good."

"One by one, the nose is really picky," the empress dowager gave her a sharp look, "I like it, so I'll take some back later."

Concubine Shu is kind and generous.

All morning, accompanied by the sensible Concubine Shu, the Empress Dowager was in a good mood.

At noon, the emperor came over for lunch.

During the banquet, there was no food, but the atmosphere was harmonious. After the banquet was withdrawn, the empress dowager asked about the affairs of the court.

Concubine Shu didn't take part in these things, she voluntarily withdrew and went for a walk in the back garden of the Compassionate Ning Palace to digest food.

This walk lasted for a quarter of an hour until the prince came to look for her in a hurry.

"The emperor is gone," the prince said in a low voice, "the empress and the emperor had some disputes again, and she is very angry, you should try to persuade her."

When Concubine Shu heard this, she pretended to be surprised, and was extremely anxious, and said as she walked, "Why are you arguing again? Is your majesty okay?"

All the way to the inner hall, Concubine Shu raised her eyes and saw the Empress Dowager lying on the couch with a worried expression on her face.

She hurried forward: "Didn't it be fine at first?"

The empress dowager closed her eyes and waved her hands: "The Ai family said a few words, and the emperor is impatient to listen."

Concubine Shu couldn't speak of the empress dowager, let alone blame the emperor, she just lowered her eyes and remained silent.

The Empress Dowager glanced at her.

Dying, it looks so pitiful.

"Your Majesty's temper..." The Empress Dowager sighed, "My family knows that it was a waste of your efforts."

　Thanks to the book friend Xiaoyuanzi for the reward.
