After fleeing famine, I rely on space to raise cubs

Walking into the imperial garden, the peonies and crabapple flowers bloomed very well in summer, and Su Qing was all smiles on his face, but at this moment, he heard the empress not far away, who was furious, "You bitch, who is it? The one who told you to talk like that, that woman was disrespectful and deliberately seduced King Cheng. King Cheng is a young man, how could he restrain himself? You people without sons, how can you understand these truths? Take them all to Bengong to kneel outside, and they are not allowed to get up without the order of Bengong."

Several nobles knelt on the ground tremblingly, Zhou nobleman kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Empress, please forgive me, the concubines didn't say anything."

The queen pointed to her forehead and said, "Shut up, you still dare to talk back to me, who taught you the rules, Nanny Li, what are you doing in a daze, give me a slap."

Nobleman Zhou never thought that the Empress would be so disrespectful. After all, she is also a nobleman sent in by Duke Zhou's mansion, and even the Emperor would give her some face. In the concubine Fox's favored harem, she can still be favored by the Emperor for one night a month , but something that doesn't exist in the harem.

The other nobles retreated one after another, for fear of offending the empress, they followed Zhou nobles to be punished.

Su Qing and the queen mother were not far away, watching Li Mama next to the queen slapping her mouth unceremoniously, Su Qing said beside the queen mother; "Concubines in the harem value the face most, and they slap their mouths in public. .”

The Empress Dowager's face turned blue, and she walked over, Liu Mama said, "The Empress Dowager is here, and Princess Fushou is here."

When the Queen Mother heard the Queen Mother coming, she signaled Nanny Li to stop, then walked to the front, and saluted the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager's eyes were gloomy, she watched Zhou Guiren kneeling on one side sobbing, and said, "Your Majesty Zhou, raise your head."

Guiren Zhou raised his head tremblingly, and when he saw the queen mother, he burst into tears, "The empress dowager is in charge of the concubine, the concubine has not committed any deviant behavior, but the empress dowager is holding on to the concubine and will not let her go."

"I don't want to be overly concerned. What you do and say is enough to make me overly concerned."

The nobles didn't expect the Queen Mother to do such an amazing thing, and all bowed and bowed for a while, leaving the Queen alone kneeling here.

The queen knelt down on one knee again, "The concubine is just telling the princess that in the harem, the concubine has the final say, and the concubine will also prepare for the princess's marriage in the future, let the princess know clearly."

Su Qing said with a smile: "The empress is serious, I'm just talking casually, I don't dare to control how the empress behaves, I just don't like it."

The Empress Dowager's arms dropped naturally, and she looked at the Empress with a hint of coldness in her eyes, "Empress, you yelled at her before I spoke here, who taught you the rules?"

Su Qing's blunt narration made the queen's face turn pale for a while, and she glared at Su Qing, "The princess said such things just to leave the cabinet. Isn't this discrediting the queen mother? What's more, this palace punishes a concubine. Report to the princess? Hmph, the princess should not be too lenient."

This shows that even the Queen Mother dared to dismiss it. It shows how arrogant the Li clan has become. Remembering that Li Jiner and Song Zhi disappeared before, Su Qing and Li Yuanxiang had a brief cooperation. After all, the two are still incompatible.

"The empress is in a bad mood today. Since she is in a bad mood, don't come out. It's better to stay calm in her own palace, so as not to cause a lot of trouble when she comes out, and the emperor will help you clean up the mess."

Hearing what the queen said, the queen mother raised a sneer at the corner of her lips, "Queen, what you said is really straightforward. You let the princess know who the master of the harem is, but you just turned around and told me that you have the final say in the harem. I don't want to interfere."

The queen said neither humble nor overbearing: "Quiet mother, please calm down. Zhou nobles have committed crimes and utter nonsense here. This palace is just teaching her. The mother is already old. The emperor has said a long time ago that you should not disturb the mother's Qingxiu. The concubine must take good care of the harem. Don't cause trouble for the mother."

What the empress meant was that she had the final say in the harem, so the empress dowager should not speak.

The queen mother looked at nobleman Zhou, turned her head and said, "Mother Liu, go to doctor Xu and give nobleman Zhou a good look."

Imperial Physician Xu is the emperor's imperial physician, and the empress dowager's intention is self-evident.

The queen stared back at him, and said sharply: "Shut up, what are you, dare to act presumptuously in front of the queen mother, come here, pull me down."

"Empress, even the court ladies know that you can't slap someone in the face, not to mention that the most important thing for a concubine is appearance. The emperor can also be pleasing to the eye after seeing a beautiful face. The empress slaps nobleman Zhou in the face so straightforwardly. Did you slap the emperor in the face?"

As soon as the queen finished speaking, the queen mother was very upset and said: "Queen, I'm still here, are you telling me this?"

Su Qing stood beside the Empress Dowager and said with a smile, "Why do you have to do this, Empress Dowager? It seems that you are jealous of Mr. Zhou. After all, during this period of time, it is Mr. Zhou who has attracted the most favors from the emperor."

After the queen mother finished speaking, she said to her humanely; "You all go back to the palace. The queen has been unwell for the past few days, so I don't need to sleep in the morning and evening. After the queen calms down, I will go to pay her respects."

"Since you don't dare to control it, don't talk nonsense."

"Chen and concubine dare not."

Madam Liu saluted and said, "Yes, servant girl will go right away."

In addition, recently, the emperor has been quite critical of the queen mother. Many officials of the queen mother have been replaced by the emperor with various reasons. Although Su Qing doesn't know what the reason is, she can also think of the queen. This was done with the support of the emperor behind him.

The queen lowered her head and said, "The concubines don't dare, and the queen mother must not worry too much."

Su Qing was surprised that the Queen's attitude was so strong, but thinking about it carefully, it has been a while since the Huang family returned to Liyang, and several brothers of the Queen Mother are still hanging around Li Yuanxiang, so it's no wonder that the Queen doesn't take the Queen Mother seriously.

The queen mother looked at her condescendingly, and then said: "Go back, the imperial garden is very windy, don't squint your eyes."

Su Qing helped the queen mother back to Zhaoyang Palace. On the way, Su Qing admired: "Mother, you are really domineering. The empress is too much, but mother, what do you say when the emperor comes?"

The queen mother looked gentle, patted the back of Su Qing's hand and said: "Don't worry, the emperor will not question me for the queen, but I still want to tell the emperor."

Even if Emperor Liang Xuan did not deal with the Queen Mother, he would not deny this mother.

For a while inside and outside the palace, news spread that the queen was disrespectful to the queen mother in the imperial garden. Emperor Liang Xuan didn't rush over at the first time, but didn't come late until night. When he came, he first stared at Su Qing, Su Qing looked calm, and saluted the emperor.
