Chapter 402 Show Your Attitude
In the next day, many concubines came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager Qi.

Empress Dowager Qi laughed at Yan Yan to everyone, she was very polite, but when it was Zhen Baozhu's turn, she gave her a face in public.

Zhen Baozhu squatted halfway, and was about to greet the Empress Dowager Qi.

Empress Dowager Qi said: "The Ai family would not dare to honor the courtesy of a virtuous concubine."

Zhen Baozhu did not continue to salute, nor did she stand.

In the end she chose to stand up.

"The Queen Mother is really good at joking, you have already accepted the concubine's gift." Then Shi Shiran walked over and sat aside, still smiling.

Seeing the appearance of Empress Dowager Qi and Concubine Zhen Xian, everyone knew that the two of them had completely fallen out, and the apparent harmony could no longer be maintained.

I was a little surprised in my heart that Concubine Xian dared to contradict Queen Dowager Qi openly.

Is this the confidence of Concubine Chong?
It seemed that Concubine Rong De and Concubine Liang Shu didn't care about ordinary things, and faced with such a situation, they could only smile awkwardly.

On the contrary, some concubines who were not well-known attacked Zhen Baozhu under the pretext of complaining to the Queen Mother.

Zhuang Guiren said: "The concubine Xian is too much, all goodness and filial piety are the first, the queen mother may be angry for a while, the concubine Xian should kneel down, reflect on what she did wrong, and wait for the queen mother to calm down before getting up again. .”

Concubine Zhen Xian glanced at Mr. Zhuang Gui indifferently. They were all in the same palace. Although they didn't see each other very much on weekdays, every time they greeted the Empress Dowager, they could still see Mr. Zhuang Guiren.

Zhuang Guiren's sister married Cheng Enhou. Because of this relationship, Zhuang Guiren and Qi Ru were very close in the past, but later Qi Ru agreed, and Zhuang Guiren turned to flatter the Queen Mother.

Recently, besides the Qi family sisters, she is also the one who has won the Empress Dowager's favor the most in the palace.

Zhen Baozhu raised his chin slightly, still smiling, "Is Master Zhuang teaching me how to do things?"

"My palace is at fault. From the point of view of the empress dowager, Mr. Zhuang Gui is so overstepping, is it because the empress dowager and empress do not exist?"

Zhuang Guiren's face turned pale, "The concubine dare not teach the concubine how to do things, but just a suggestion."

"Young Master Zhuang is busy." Zhen Baozhu looked at Empress Dowager Qi, "Does Empress Dowager Qi also agree with what nobleman Zhuang said?"

Empress Dowager Qi was so stunned that she raised her expressionless face, "Concubine Xian shut the emperor out late at night. This has already spread widely. If you put it on someone else, you will be thrown into the cold palace like this." .”

Zhen Baozhu waited quietly for Queen Mother Qi's next words.

"The emperor pampers you, but you can't be too pampered."

Zhen Baozhu was very puzzled and said: "The matter in the concubine's palace, why did it spread all over the place, could it be that the emperor sued the queen mother?"

All the smiles on her face disappeared, and she turned into a look of shame and indignation, "If he is tired of me, he can just tell me himself, and sue the queen mother, and let the queen mother humiliate me in front of so many people. What do you mean?"

This reaction was expected by Empress Dowager Qi, who wanted Zhen Baozhu to quarrel with the emperor.

Once or twice, it can also be regarded as a little fun, and it will always be annoying if there are too many.

"Concubine Xian blatantly slanders the emperor, and offends the next one, since you are the first offender, go out and kneel." Empress Dowager Qi said quietly.

The resentment on Zhen Baozhu's face became more and more obvious, the official rank crushed her to death, so she could only go out and kneel.

Fortunately, she also prepared today.

Empress Dowager Qi only felt that she had let out a big mouthful of anger, and now she just knelt down, and soon, Concubine Xian fell out of favor, and she could torture Zhen Baozhu.

Zhuang Guiren smiled and said to the Empress Dowager: "This virtuous concubine is too pampered. The Empress Dowager must sharpen her temper, otherwise the emperor will spoil her like the emperor, I'm afraid it will be the emperor who suffers."

Empress Dowager Qi also said: "But I hope the emperor can know the good intentions of the Ai family."

The Empress Dowager Qi didn't punish Zhen Baozhu for long, and she got up - the Queen Mother's intention was not to punish Zhen Baozhu, but to create some rift between Zhen Baozhu and Lu Zhan.

For the rest, figure it out slowly.

As expected, Zhen Baozhu had a big fight with Lu Zhan after returning home.

In the next day, Lu Zhan came over dejectedly.

Empress Dowager Qi thought that Lu Zhan must be asking her to vomit bitterness.

The Empress Dowager then asked: "Your Majesty, did you blow the cold wind outside all night again yesterday?"

Lu Zhan remained silent.

"This virtuous concubine is really going too far." The Empress Dowager Qi looked at Lu Zhan distressedly, "The emperor dotes on her too much, so she dared to keep the emperor out of the door again and again, if the emperor Not only spoiling her alone, she will naturally have a fear in her heart, if she wants to compete for favor, she will naturally be indifferent to you and your words, the emperor should understand the truth of what the Ai family said."

Lu Zhan said: "I was taught by my mother since I was a child, and now I manage a country. There are some truths that my mother doesn't say, but I understand."

"But it's one thing to understand, and another to do it. The heart is uncontrollable. My heart is pleasing to the concubine Xian, and only my heart is pleasing to the concubine Xian. If I say this, can the empress understand?"

Empress Dowager Qi laughed angrily, "There is no man who doesn't care about his heart in this world. The reason why you say that is because the freshness between you and Concubine Xian hasn't passed yet."

"Will you still like Concubine Xian when Concubine Xian is old?"

Lu Zhan took it for granted, "But by then, I won't be young anymore."

The queen mother said weakly: "How can men and women be the same? You are the emperor, do you understand that she is destined to have only you as a man, but you can have many women."

"Love is one thing, pampering is another."

"Although the fact is indeed such a fact," Lu Zhan still insisted, "but I am not interested in other women, and I have no intention of spending time on other women."

"The queen mother knows my background, and I have met many women of all kinds there. If I didn't meet each other sincerely and raise my eyebrows, I would rather not have it."

In his brows and eyes, there was a subtle light.

What he said was extremely serious, and he was showing his attitude to Queen Mother Qi.

He is not ignorant of the purpose of the Empress Dowager Qi for bringing his niece into the palace, after all, everyone is not a fool.

Qi Ru is not enough to take care of him by his side, and he still insists on seducing his niece, whom he didn't care about before. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart.

Just for some purpose, he pretended not to know.

But he hoped that after this incident, Empress Dowager Qi would not interfere with his harem affairs.

He didn't want to embarrass him, and he didn't want to embarrass the Empress Dowager Qi who raised him.

He hoped that Empress Dowager Qi would understand.

Empress Dowager Qi was silent.

She obviously didn't pay much attention to Lu Zhan's words, or her past experience told her that she didn't believe that there was a consistent and dedicated relationship in this world.

She thought for a while and then said: "It's not impossible for you to pamper only one woman, but she is so pampered, Ai Jia said that you can pretend to dote on other women, so that Concubine Xian can reflect."

"If she continues to be pampered like this, let alone Aijia, all the women in the palace will be dissatisfied with her, which is not very good for her."

"Okay, I will try to do as my mother said." Lu Zhan reluctantly agreed, "It's just that mother can stop punishing Concubine Xian by kneeling, she is weak and can't bear such punishment .”
