The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 20 The Concubine's Daily Life
Hearing Zhao Nuoqing's compromise, the Queen's mouth curled up into a satisfied smile, she got up and helped Zhao Nuoqing up, "He who knows the current affairs is a hero, don't worry, I will definitely not make you regret following me." !"

Zhao Nuoqing shook his head, as if he was unwilling to compromise on this, and knelt down in front of the queen again, "Returning to your empress, the emperor doesn't seem to like concubines. Last night, the emperor didn't touch concubines. I'm afraid that concubines will disappoint you." Empress' expectation!"

Hearing Zhao Nuoqing's words, the queen was not surprised, as if she knew it a long time ago, with a sneer on her face, she said lightly: "It's okay, the emperor is just against me, you look good, how long can he bear it? Queen Mother Feeling guilty towards this palace, if the emperor really wants to confront this palace, this palace will have the help of the queen mother! And all you need to do is to think about how to get into the eyes of the emperor and successfully conceive a dragon heir!"

Zhao Nuoqing closed her eyes slightly, she gave up completely, and obediently fell on the ground and said: "The concubine knows!"

The queen turned around and sat back in the chair, said softly: "Get up, the bun is not done yet, and I will meet the concubines who came to pay their respects later!"

She was full of amiability, as if the verbal threat just now had never happened.

Zhao Nuoqing got up slowly, tried to keep calm, picked up the comb and continued to comb the queen's hair, not long after, a Chaoyun bun was ready, and according to Zhao Nuoqing's preference, she inserted the phoenix hairpin that the queen had just chosen With the hairpin in the bun, the already beautiful and elegant empress, under the blessing of Zhao Nuoqing's attire, added a sense of sophistication, which made people feel bright.

Looking at the unique yet dignified new hairstyle on her head, the queen was extremely satisfied, "Zhao Cairen is really good at craftsmanship, I have never seen such a bun before, it's really good!"

As soon as the words fell, Qing Yan happened to walk in, and the concubines who told the queen to come to pay her respects had already arrived.

The queen supported the hair ornament on her head and nodded, she stood up and looked at Zhao Nuoqing, with a cold smile in her eyes, she said: "Let's go, let you experience what a real concubine's life is!"

Inside the imperial study.

Shen Bochen went straight to the imperial study after leaving the court, and the little eunuch sent by Han Mingde to investigate the relationship between Zhao Cairen and the queen also successfully completed the task early.

After hearing Han Mingde's reply, Shen Bochen said: "Tell me, can Zhao Cairen hear my order to you today?"

Although the emperor asked the question himself, Han Mingde still didn't dare to guess the emperor's mind, and said lightly, "Why did you order the slaves in front of Zhao Cairen, Your Majesty? Do you suspect that Zhao Cairen was already awake at that time?"

Shen Bochen sneered, and said: "Yes! Her tricks are not very good. I hope she can restrain herself after knowing that I have already checked her relationship with the queen! Whether she is forced or voluntary, I hope she can recognize it. In the palace, who is the master!"

……

Zhao Nuoqing followed the empress through the back door of the living room, passed through the back hall, and saw that all the concubines who came to pay their respects had already taken their seats, and when they heard the little eunuch singing "The empress is here", they all got up and paid their respects.

Zhao Nuoqing raised her eyes slightly, and saw a strange concubine standing among the concubines. The woman looked good, like a fiery sun, exuding a scorching aura, and her slightly protruding belly made the woman more plump.

Now that the palace is pregnant, only the beauties are paid!

Because there are few offspring in the palace, the Emperor and the Empress Dowager cherish Fu Meiren's child very much, and Fu Meiren is not allowed to attend any banquets or banquets on weekdays. This is also the first time Zhao Nuoqing has seen this Fu Meiren.

When she looked at Fu Meiren, she saw that Fu Meiren's eyes were also staring at her, but there was a sharp look in her eyes. Obviously, she didn't like herself very much.

After waiving the courtesy, Zhao Nuoqing sat in her own seat according to her rank, and she still felt everyone's probing eyes on her even after this short walk.

Zhao Nuoqing only felt the glow on her back, just as Lin Cairen was sitting next to her, and saw Lin Cairen greeted her with a smile, which dispelled a little tension.

Xu Cairen was sitting across from her. At this moment, she lowered her head like a shivering quail, her eyes seemed to be slightly red.

Seeing Zhao Nuoqing's puzzled face, Lin Cairen covered his lips with a round fan, and said to her in a low voice: "Xu Cairen was severely scolded by Concubine Shu just now, and now he is holding back tears!"

Zhao Nuoqing frowned slightly, slowly raised his eyes and looked up, and saw Concubine Shu was sipping the jujube tea brought by the maids, with a calm look.

At this time, Qingyan reported from above that Concubine Wen was ill, and asked someone to ask for leave.

The queen nodded, and gave some instructions to let Concubine Wen rest well.

After all, the queen looked up at the concubine who was sitting down, and after seeing Fu Meiren, she said with a slightly reproachful smile: "Why is Fu Meiren here today? Didn't the emperor spare you the morning and evening meditation? It doesn't matter if you are greedy for excitement, but don't hurt the emperor's heir in your stomach!"

Fu Meiren slowly got up, exaggeratedly supporting her five-month-old pregnant belly, and looked at the queen with provocative eyes, "I will always remember my mother's teachings! It's just that I heard that there is a new baby in the palace. Ren'er's younger sister was curious, so she came to take a look. It was really nice to see her today! The most beautiful lady in our palace is Concubine Jin, but the concubine feels that Zhao Cairen seems to be more beautiful than Concubine Jin. It looks better!"

Zhao Nuoqing frowned slightly, she didn't know when she offended this beautiful woman, why did she compare her with Concubine Jin in public?
It is said that Concubine Jin is very jealous. Anyone who is more beautiful than her, no matter whether it is a concubine or a maid, will be punished by Concubine Jin. Isn't this creating hatred for herself?

Seeing that Concubine Jin was staring at Zhao Nuoqing with a look of jealousy and hatred.

When everyone was expecting to see how Zhao Nuoqing, who was suddenly named by Fu Meiren, would deal with this crisis, the queen who was sitting in the upper position and watched all this coldly said without warning: "The appearance is born Yes, Zhao Cai's beauty in life is her ability, and Fu Meiren compares Zhao Cairen with Jinfei, is she trying to make Jinfei remember Zhao Cairen from now on?"

That's what Fu Meiren meant, but she never thought that the queen would point it out in public. For a while, Fu Meiren was speechless, but she still insisted: "No...I don't!"

Everyone in the room was puzzled, the empress had never paid attention to the verbal disputes between the concubines, no matter how much she tried to persuade her, she had never taken the initiative to speak out and angered others like today, I don't know why it was so abnormal today?
"Presumptuous!" Concubine Jin suddenly jumped up, pointed at Fu Meiren's nose and scolded: "You are sour and jealous, just jealous of Zhao Cairen's beauty, what are you doing with me!"

After finishing speaking, Concubine Jin immediately knelt down to the queen, and said with panic on her face: "Empress, my concubine has absolutely no intention of hating Zhao Cairen!"

Seeing Concubine Jin kneeling suddenly, Fu Meiren had no choice but to kneel down.

The queen didn't seem to see Fu Meiren knelt down, and only said to Concubine Jin: "Concubine Jin, please get up, I naturally know, how could Concubine Jin be provoked by a traitor? How is Princess Jiamin recently? Do you like the gift the princess gave me yesterday?"

Concubine Jin's face flashed a trace of fear, and she hurriedly said: "The princess likes it very much, and she even asked the concubine to thank the empress!"

Princess Jiamin is now five years old, she is the first child born in the palace, because of her cute appearance and being the eldest daughter, she is very loved by everyone.

The Queen nodded and said with a smile, "As long as you like it!"

Zhao Nuoqing looked at Concubine Jin who was talking to the queen in front of her, wondering why Concubine Jin seemed to be afraid of the queen?
