Delicate green plum dressed as the little emperor of green tea

Chapter 368
After Zhen Baozhu went back at night, she felt exhausted physically and mentally.

In the past, I didn't think there was anything wrong with entering the palace, but now that I have experienced it, I know that places with a lot of people have a lot of right and wrong.

Ordinary families still have disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, wives and concubines, let alone in the palace.

For dinner, she only had a small bowl of porridge, so she didn't have much appetite.

Pei Wan came to look for her and asked about the situation during the day.

"Fortunately," Zhen Baozhu said, she stood up suddenly, "After I passed by today, the queen was not surprised at all, she seemed to know that I would come."

She looked at Pei Wan with deep scrutiny.

"The concubine swears that the concubine has never betrayed the concubine even a single bit since she made a heart-to-heart relationship with the empress."

Zhen Baozhu smiled, "Sister, you are the one who made all the fuss."

"I'm a straightforward person. If I use you, I won't doubt you, and if I doubt you, I won't use you."

"I just suspect that the empress may have known about your surrender, and even indirectly led me there through your mouth."

"Her fundamental purpose seems to be to turn me against the emperor."

"You want to turn against the emperor?" Pei Wan was deeply puzzled, "Will you turn against the emperor because of such a trivial matter?"

"Even if the empress and the emperor have turned against each other, the queen can't pull you down because of this, she"

Pei Wan deeply remembered what the Empress had said to her, that the reason why Qi Ru and Zhen Baozhu were separated was to let them compete with each other for their own benefit.

This is reasonable, after all, as a queen, but these two concubines are above her, no one can bear it.

But let Zhen Baozhu and Lu Zhan turn against each other
Zhen Baozhu said: "I don't know what the queen is asking for in the end, let's just take a step and see."

After sending Pei Wan away, Zhen Baozhu fell asleep early.

At night, she vaguely felt that someone was coming, but she was too tired to pay attention.

There is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, and she needs to recharge her batteries.

Two days later, Zhen Baozhu went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager Qi, because all the concubines came here very early because of the previous day's killing of chickens and monkeys, and Zhen Baozhu was the last one to come.

She stepped forward to pay respects to the queen mother and empress openly, and greeted several sisters.

Concubine Liang excitedly waved at Zhen Baozhu, intending to make someone sit by her side.

Zhen Baozhu smiled and wanted to go over.

The Empress Dowager Qi saw their interaction, and couldn't help thinking that Zhen Baozhu not only won the Emperor's favor, but also got along very well with the concubines in the harem.

No wonder Qi Ru treats Zhen Baozhu like an enemy.

Qi Ru was a little anxious.

Empress Dowager Qi signaled her to be calm with her eyes.

"Concubine Xian, you are so skillful, come here to pour tea for Ai's family." Empress Dowager Qi said suddenly.

The ladies of the aristocratic families are arty and elegant, and generally know how to pour tea.

But Zhen Baozhu didn't like to drink tea in the past, and he would not wrong himself to learn this skill.

She stepped forward, "The empress dowager praised it absurdly. It's the most unfortunate thing that all the nobles in the palace belong to the courtiers and concubines."

"It's okay, as long as it's the tea you pour, the Ai family will love it."

Everyone was still surprised that the Queen Mother treated Zhen Baozhu differently.

Zhen Baozhu stepped forward, poured tea for the Queen Mother, and handed the cup to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager shook her hand, and the tea spilled all over the floor, and by the way, it also splashed on the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager turned pale with shock, and said harshly: "Concubine Xian, do you want to murder Aijia?"

During the change of expression, dizzying.

Zhen Baozhu hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "It's my concubine's negligence, and I hope the Queen Mother will make amends."

Qi Ru stood up and accused Zhen Baozhu: "You burned off a layer of aunt's skin, are you watching aunt doting on me, remembering hating aunt, and doing this to aunt on purpose?"

Empress Dowager Qi signaled Qi Ru to back off.

"The Ai family believes that Concubine Zhen Xian did not do it unintentionally, but after all it was your negligence, so go kneel outside for a while."

Zhen Baozhu was delicate and frail, and she might not be able to stand kneeling for a quarter of an hour, let alone two full hours.

Empress Dowager Qi thought that Zhen Baozhu would beg for mercy, but Zhen Baozhu didn't, so she went out and knelt down at the gate.

"It was my mistake to scald the Queen Mother, and I am willing to be punished."

She lowered her head, because she had expected that the queen mother would punish herself today, so she made a small cushion for her knees in advance.

The queen mother will punish herself, but she won't punish herself too much. Kneeling is the best way.

However, Concubine Liang Gui couldn't sit still inside. In her eyes, Zhen Baozhu was so small, how could she stand this punishment?

"Empress Dowager, in the final analysis, Concubine Xian didn't do it on purpose. She is young and has never done any work of serving others, so she must have done something wrong."

Concubine Liang's adoptive father, Marquis Liang, is now the object that Lu Zhan is trying to win over, so the Empress Dowager Qi also gave Concubine Liang some face, "It's just a fact that it hurts the family. If anyone does something wrong, it will be regarded as 'not intentional' If it’s the reason, isn’t everyone going to be punished for doing something wrong?”

Concubine Liang Guifei hesitated to speak.

When leaving from the Empress Dowager's Palace, Concubine Liang Gui quietly said to Zhen Baozhu: "Come to my place in a while, and I will make some roast ducks for you."

The imperial concubine felt that it was pitiful for the little girl to be made to kneel, so she wanted to make up for the little girl, she knew Zhen Baozhu loved to eat.

Zhen Baozhu nodded with a smile, "Okay, okay, it would be nice if I could kneel for a while longer if I could eat the roast duck from the concubine's sister."

"It's just your sweet talk, I'll go back and prepare it for you." Concubine Liang left quietly.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with being punished to kneel. After all, it was worth it to make Brother Zhan feel dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager Qi. The Empress Dowager Qi was partial to her niece. Today is punished to kneel, but tomorrow I'm afraid she will face her face.

However, the queen mother is opposite, so she can only take pictures of Lu Zhan's adoptive mother slowly.

She was never soft on her enemies.

But thinking of the imperial concubine's roast duck, she couldn't kneel down.

It so happened that Lu Zhan came over at this time.

Zhen Baozhu raised his eyes, looking at Lu Zhan with sparkling eyes.

"Brother Zhan, your legs are so numb."

Lu Zhan looked down at her, "Since you know your legs are numb, why didn't you push this errand when the queen mother ordered you to?"

Baozhu didn't speak, but looked at Lu Zhan pitifully.

"I'll go in and intercede with the queen mother."

Zhen Baozhu nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

When Lu Zhan walked in, the Empress Dowager Qi was talking to Qi Ru. Qi Ru's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried.

"Zhan'er is here," Empress Dowager Qi looked at Lu Zhan with a big smile on her face, "Yesterday, your father and king brought someone from Qingzhou, Jiahe Donkey Meat, which was specially thrown away by Aijia for you to taste. .”

The emperor is rich all over the world, but Qingzhou is his hometown after all.

"Thank you, Empress, for thinking about it," Lu Zhan said with a pale face, "Empress, did Baozhu do something wrong?"

Empress Dowager Qi repeated what happened in the morning.

"This girl used to be careless in her work, but she still does it now." Lu Zhan was careful not to accompany her, "In the final analysis, she has never served anyone before, and this is the first time. The queen mother might as well punish her casually. gone."

Empress Dowager Qi readily agreed, "For the emperor's sake, Aijia will spare her this time."

"It's just that Ai's family loves the emperor and is willing to show respect to the emperor's sweetheart. I don't know if the emperor will give Ai's face, and he also loves you."
