The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 13
After Lan Nanny took the box, she looked at the hairpin inside regretfully, and when she walked to Zhao Nuoqing's side, she was still reluctant to cover the box.

Zhao Nuoqing couldn't help but looked up curiously at the glazed golden hairpin in the box. With just one glance, based on her years of experience in researching hairpins, it would be too weak to restore the hairpin to its original state. It can still be repaired by carving patterns according to the original appearance, but it may be slightly different from the original hairpin.

Ruan Sizhen must also know that it can be repaired by this method, but she is afraid that the queen mother will not like the changed appearance, so she can only come to plead guilty, saying that she can't repair it.

This hairpin looks like it was made with a lot of manpower and material resources, and now it has to be discarded at will. If the craftsman who made this hairpin knew about it, he would be so heartbroken that he would bleed!
At the beginning, she set the price of the hairpin to be very expensive, hoping that those who got her hairpin would feel sorry for the money spent and cherish the hairpin she made.

"Report to the Empress Dowager!"

Zhao Nuoqing suddenly knelt down towards the queen mother, "This hairpin, concubine may try to remedy it!"

Zhao Nuoqing didn't speak in a flash of enthusiasm, she thought: Since the queen mother is going to throw away this hairpin, obviously even if the hairpin is not exactly the same as before, the queen mother will not blame it, on the contrary, she can try her best to put it away. This hairpin has been restored to the point where it is not very different from the previous one. What the Empress Dowager cherishes is the friendship represented by this hairpin rather than the hairpin itself.

Hearing what Zhao Nuoqing said, everyone in the room was overjoyed, and Nanny Lan suddenly stopped her steps from stepping out of the threshold.

The queen looked at Zhao Nuoqing excitedly, and asked: "Zhao Cairen can really repair this hairpin, and it's the same as before?"

Zhao Nuoqing shook his head, and replied sincerely: "If you go back to the empress, the concubine can only restore it as much as possible, but this phoenix hairpin is seriously damaged, even if it is repaired, it will still be somewhat different from the original one!"

"This..." The queen's complexion became serious again, and she secretly blamed Zhao Nuoqing in her heart. Didn't this give people hope and make people disappointed?
Originally, she saw Zhao Nuoqing's delicate appearance, simple and innocent family background, and easy to manipulate, so she wanted to promote her as a confidant. Since she annoyed the emperor last time, in order to fight against her, the emperor has favored that Xu Cai for three consecutive days. Zhao Cairen did not even mention it, and she would not ask the emperor herself, so she could only recommend it to the queen mother, so that the queen mother would come forward and let the emperor favor her.

Now, if the Queen Mother is annoyed, I'm afraid Zhao Cairen's path will come to an end!

The queen was feeling unhappy, but she heard the queen mother suddenly say: "If it can be repaired, it doesn't matter even if it is a little worse! If you can really repair this hairpin, the Ai family will definitely reward you a lot!"

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Nuoqing with burning eyes, and now she regarded Zhao Nuoqing as the only hope.

Sister Lan looked at the Empress Dowager who had tears in her eyes, and her heart ached. As expected, the Empress Dowager was still reluctant to throw away the hairpin just now, and she must have been very heartbroken to let her throw it away so resolutely just now!
Nanny Lan stepped forward, lovingly helped Zhao Nuoqing up, and handed the sandalwood box in Zhao Nuoqing's hands, and entrusted her earnestly, "Zhao Cairen, please!"

Zhao Nuoqing shook his head, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Mammy, I will do my best to fix it!"

As soon as the words fell, the eunuch's report came from outside the house, the time has come, it's time to start the gong!

When the queen mother learned that the hairpin could be repaired, she was very happy in her heart, and immediately gave orders to start the gong immediately!
Now the Empress Dowager loves Zhao Nuoqing very much, and even loves the Empress even more, so the Empress Dowager ordered the Empress and Zhao Nuoqing to help her to go to the courtyard to listen to the opera.

After the three of them came out accompanied by a group of nuns and maids behind them, they saw that the concubines outside the courtyard had already arrived.

Headed by Concubine Shu, Concubine Yi, Concubine Jin, and Concubine Wen, all the concubines in the palace, except those who could not be present for some special reasons, kowtowed to the Queen Mother and Empress Dowager.

Zhao Nuoqing had never seen such a battle before, and she was immediately shocked by the scene of a group of people kneeling and kowtowing. In the past, she was also one of the many concubines kneeling before her, but now she felt the feeling of being bowed down by everyone.

Although those people did not bow down to her, her body still tensed up unconsciously.

The Empress Dowager seemed to feel the trembling on Zhao Nuoqing's body, and felt even more relieved for a moment. It seemed that the girl beside her was not an ambitious woman. Generally, an ambitious woman would never feel fear when many people bowed down. He is proud of himself, thinking that he can be worshiped by thousands of people.

It's good to have no ambition, so she can rest assured that Zhao Nuoqing will serve by the emperor's side, and at the same time, it will also give the queen a favor.

A few years ago, the empress accidentally injured her body. The imperial physician diagnosed that the empress would never be able to do anything again in this life. She has always felt ashamed in her heart. The empress is so young, if it weren't for the emperor...

The empress dowager sighed heavily in her heart. She had promised the empress earlier that if another concubine in the palace gave birth to a boy and a half daughter, they would be fostered under her name.

But for many years, the emperor had few heirs. Concubine Shu gave birth to a prince, and Concubine Jin gave birth to a princess. This year, Mei Fu is pregnant, but I don't know if she can give birth safely.

And the queen was even more stubborn, saying that she could not see other people's flesh and blood being separated, and she was unwilling to do the thing of robbing other people's heirs.

I thought that the empress had no intention of raising children anymore, but I never thought about it. This morning, the empress came to look for her, saying that she met an interesting concubine who was good-looking and pure-minded. If she could be favored by the emperor, she would be born She has a child and a half daughter, and she will foster her child under her name.

If Zhao Cairen finds out that the queen helped her obtain the emperor's favor, Zhao Cairen will definitely be grateful for the queen's support and support. Even if the child is fostered under the queen's name, Zhao Cairen will not feel dissatisfied or resentful.

The Empress Dowager felt that the guilt in her heart could be alleviated by allowing the Empress to have the idea of ​​raising children, and immediately agreed to the Empress's idea, but she still wanted to meet this talented Zhao and beat her up by the way, so as to explore this A woman's reality, don't be a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Right now, the Empress Dowager has let go of Zhao Nuoqing, but she still maintains her vigilance in her heart. After all, some people are the best at disguising.

"Exemption from courtesy and peace!" The queen mother said to everyone with a loud voice and majesty.

"Thank you Queen Mother!" All the concubines shouted in unison.

After everyone got up, they realized that there was an unknown and unknown woman standing beside the Queen Mother. The woman was wearing a simple and elegant dress made by the Talent Palace.
