The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 14 The Empress Dowager Recommends
Seeing this, Xu Cairen and the others sitting at the bottom were full of resentment. One of them, Wei Baolin, who had helped Xu Cairen speak before, snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Look at the harmless appearance. I never imagined that she is a scheming vixen! How can she serve the Empress Dowager? Even if she wants to serve, it should be our most beloved Xu Cairen!"

After hearing this, Xu Cairen agreed in his heart, and couldn't help feeling jealous, but on his face he looked wronged, staring at Zhao Cairen's back in front of him, and remained silent.

Lin Cairen, who was sitting directly in front of them, was full of displeasure. Hearing that unpopular concubine scold Zhao Nuoqing, for some reason, he felt very unhappy.Maybe it's because Zhao Nuoqing and she are both from Qingzhou City, so there is an invisible feeling of old folks, and both of them like the hairpin made by Ruoshui, so they get closer to Zhao Nuoqing for a while feeling.

Lin Cairen turned around and gave Wei Baolin a hard look, and scolded angrily: "Zhao Cairen's ability to serve the Empress Dowager is his ability, if you have the ability, you go too, and see if the Empress Dowager will look at you! Instead of having the time to arrange others secretly, it is better to think about how to get the grace of yourself! Blindly clinging to others and talking nonsense about jealousy is really useless!"

After all, Lin Cairen gave Xu Cairen a pointed look.

Lin Cairen's elder brother is the number one scholar in the current discipline. He won the first place during the Spring Festival and was deeply loved by the emperor. Although he does not have a high official position at the moment, the emperor likes this talented and learned number one scholar very much. He also has a high opinion of Lin Cairen, the younger sister of Zhuangyuan Lang, and it has been rumored that the new champion must have a bright future in the future.

Therefore, no one dared to argue with Lin Cairen. After hearing Lin Cairen's ridicule, Wei Baolin shut his mouth indignantly. Seeing that Xu Cairen was only staring at Zhao Cairen who was sitting at the front, She didn't intend to fight back for her at all, she was still fighting for her!Feeling a little chilled in my heart, seeing Xu Cairen's alluring appearance, I gradually became bored.

"Wangjiang Pavilion" was being performed on the stage in front of it, and the sound of beating gongs and drums resounded through the sky, unaware that the concubines behind them were chattering endlessly at this time.

Except for Lin Cairen, the fourth concubine and other concubines sitting next to the empress dowager and the empress all showed hostility towards Zhao Nuoqing who suddenly appeared next to the empress and empress dowager. Check out this talented Zhao!

After singing a song, the emperor Shen Bochen came slowly.

When all the concubines saw the emperor, they looked like hungry wolves seeing fresh meat. They stood up one after another, posing with their heads, and bowed their knees to salute the emperor.

The emperor walked from behind the concubines without looking sideways, passed through the crowd, and came to the queen mother.

Xu Cairen stood in the same place in a daze, just now the emperor clearly passed by her, but he didn't even give her a look, and his heart suddenly felt infinitely inferior.

The emperor who was paying his respects to his mother in front of him naturally didn't know that he had accidentally hurt the weak heart of a woman.

A few days ago when the frontier barbarians invaded, he was very busy. After the queen mother came back, news of the frontier success came repeatedly. The emperor was in a good mood. Looking at the sickly Xu Cairen, he felt as beautiful as a fairy, and Long En nourished him. Xu Cairen, who was originally sickly, became more and more beautiful day by day, and the emperor couldn't help feeling that he was the emperor chosen by heaven.

So I took advantage of this momentum to review many more books, if Han Mingde hadn't reminded the Queen that today the Queen held a play banquet for the Queen Mother, if he didn't come, the Queen Mother would definitely think that she and the Queen had a rift, and would not be able to sleep well Feeling uneasy, he put down his booklet and hurried over, even so, he was still a long time late.

Shen Bochen pleaded guilty to his mother: "My son, reviewing the memorial, almost forgot the play banquet carefully arranged by the empress here, and I ask the empress to forgive me!"

The queen mother lovingly supported Shen Bochen, and said with a smile: "The emperor cares about his family, country and the world, and it is too late to mourn and rejoice. How can he blame him? However, the emperor should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't be too tired! Think about your father ……Why!"

Speaking of the former emperor, the corners of the empress dowager's eyes became moist again. The former emperor died suddenly in the Qianzheng Palace because of being too tired because he was too diligent in governing and caring for the people.

The emperor hurriedly comforted him, "Queen mother, don't worry, my son has time every day to practice martial arts to strengthen his body, and he will definitely not let himself get sick!"

The queen mother nodded in relief, then took the queen's hand and put the emperor's hand together, and said with a smile: "You husband and wife should also sing in harmony, and set an example for the harem. , and I can go to see the late emperor with my head held high!"

The emperor and queen naturally knew that the queen mother was joking, but they still couldn't help complaining in unison, "Mother queen! Why are you saying such things again?"

Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, the queen mother smiled gratifiedly, and the emperor and queen also smiled at the sudden tacit understanding, their eyes were full of tenderness and love.

All the concubines behind him gritted their teeth.

Zhao Nuoqing stared blankly at the emperor and empress, feeling confused again.

Could it be that she misunderstood the quarrel between the emperor and the empress that day?

The emperor and the queen are really very affectionate?
The emperor obviously also noticed Zhao Nuoqing, and seeing Zhao Nuoqing accompanying the queen mother, he felt puzzled, and asked the queen mother, "Why is Zhao Cairen here?"

Zhao Nuoqing lowered her head in a panic, the queen mother looked back at Zhao Nuoqing who was beside her, and then looked at the emperor, half seriously and half jokingly said: "The Ai family sees that this girl is very clever, and she will repair your father's father." I liked the wedding token I gave to Ai's family even more, so I kept it by my side to serve! By the way, Ai's family also heard that Zhao Cairen has not yet served him? Since the emperor has chosen him to enter the palace, how can he neglect him? Could it be that you still thought about sending her out of the palace when she reached her age?"

Listening to the queen mother's joke, the queen was overjoyed, apparently the queen mother had agreed to her request and was willing to help Zhao Nuoqing sleep.

The emperor immediately understood the queen mother's intentions, looked at the queen with some dissatisfaction, and saw that Zhao Cairen was blushing and lowered his head, trying to reduce his sense of existence, this move aroused him a little interest .

If other concubines heard him talking about her, which one wouldn't try their best to attract his attention?
Recalling that day when he quarreled with the queen, mistakenly regarded Zhao Cairen as cannon fodder, favored Xu Cairen but ignored her, she was innocent at first, and he just wanted to let the queen know that he, the emperor, cannot be offended. Although he is ashamed of the queen, he is the king of a country after all!
He never thought that the empress would fight her, and even pushed Zhao Nuoqing in front of the empress dowager, asking the empress dowager to stand up for her, asking him to favor Zhao Nuoqing.

What exactly does the Queen want to do?
How did Zhao Cairen fall into her eyes?
