The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 23 The Unique Reward

"Eunuch Han, this is...?" Zhao Nuoqing was very surprised, so he heard Han Mingde say with a smile: "The emperor said that Zhao Cairen had meritorious service in serving the bed yesterday, so he specially chose these two things as a reward for Zhao Cairen. Zhao Cairen, please come and thank me!"

After hearing Han Mingde's words, Zhao Nuoqing lowered her head in embarrassment, she didn't know when she fell asleep last night, it was too late for her to panic, how could she be so good at sleeping?
Could it be that he fell asleep and was smeared by the emperor?
Thinking of this, Zhao Nuoqing's heart became heavier. Is what she saw really the same person as the emperor that the queen said?

Lin Cairen, who was at the side, saw the milky kitten, and said in surprise: "I have never heard that the reward given by the emperor to concubines is a kitten? What does the emperor mean?"

Zhao Nuoqing shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

After thanking you for the reward, Han Mingde looked at Lin Cairen and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Lin Cairen to be here too! It just so happened that the emperor turned over your sign today, and this slave was about to give Zhao Cairen a reward and go It's a coincidence that Fuhua Pavilion is looking for you, and the slave will save the trip!"

Hearing Han Mingde's words, Lin Cairen was overjoyed, but because Zhao Nuoqing was by his side, he couldn't be too happy, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

She turned her head to look at Zhao Nuoqing, saw that she was focusing on the kitten instead of herself, she was relieved, thanked Han Mingde, and gave him a reward.

Not long after Han Mingde left, Lin Cairen also went to prepare for tonight's bedtime. Before leaving, Zhao Nuoqing also gave her a peach blossom hairpin dotted with gold kun beads, which was a few days ago. I did it when the peach blossoms were in full bloom. Thinking that Lin Cairen liked the hairpin made by Ruoshui, he gave it to her as a gift. Lin Cairen was very happy.

After Lin Cairen left, rewards from the concubines of the harem came one after another. Needless to say, the queen, concubine Yi and others, what everyone never expected was that the queen mother also sent rewards.For a moment, even Jin He, who has always been unsmiling, was very excited.

Not long after, the news that the emperor and the queen mother gave Zhao Nuoqing a reward spread in the palace, and what attracted more attention was that the emperor gave Zhao Cairen a kitten!
Although cats can be seen everywhere and are not worth much money, the rewards from others are nothing more than gold, silver and clothing, but Zhao Cairen got the only reward!

It was precisely because of this "single share" that made everyone feel more and more dissatisfied.

Jin Miao and Jin He had never received so many rewards in one day, and the warehouse could barely hold them, so they were in a hurry.

Later, Sizhenfang, Shangfu Bureau, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs all sent people to greet her, and even the Imperial Dining Room added several dishes to her, which she could eat without spending any money!
Zhao Nuoqing couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it's strange that everyone is looking forward to serving the bed, looking forward to the only grace, the difference between heaven and earth can be vividly experienced in this day!

Greeting many guests in one day, it was not until the evening that they could barely stop, Zhao Nuoqing and the others were already exhausted.

It was the first time in more than a year that Lingyun Pavilion was full of people today, and everyone was really overwhelmed.

However, Jin Miao was extremely energetic, even though she was tired and paralyzed, she was still smiling and couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. Everyone laughed when they saw her so happy.

After a day of hard work, everyone in Lingyun Pavilion had an extremely sound sleep.

In the early morning of the second day, the sky was covered with a thick layer of clouds, like a thick quilt covering the sky. The climate was extremely hot and full of signs of a storm.

Zhao Nuoqing ordered Jin He and Su Quan to move the flowers outside the house, so that if it rains, they can water the rootless water, and also ordered them to take good care of the little milk cat bestowed by the emperor, and not let it slip away After going out, he took Jin Miao to Fengwu Palace to pay his respects.

Yesterday, Jin Miao accepted Jin Miao and took her to Fengwu Palace to see and see today. From the back room to the gate of the hall, Jin He kept entrusting her all the way, telling her to listen to her master's instructions first, no matter what she saw or heard, and she must not be impulsive. The master is in trouble.

Jin Miao said impatiently: "I know, I know! I'm not a child, so of course I know to listen to my master!"

Jin He looked at Jin Miao with a worried face, always worrying in his heart, seeing this, Zhao Nuoqing said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will take care of Jin Miao for you! If she gets into trouble, she won't take her with you in the future." She's out, okay?"

Jin Miao protested from the side, "Master, why don't you trust slaves!"

Everyone laughed.

A smile finally appeared on Jin He's serious face, and he couldn't say anything more.

After arriving at Fengwu Palace, there were already some concubines who had arrived earlier sitting in the room. As soon as she came, the eyes of the room all shot at her.

It was the first time for Jin Miao to see such a battle, and he was immediately shocked.

Xu Cairen, who came earlier, greeted Zhao Nuoqing with a smile.

Before standing still, Han Baolin, who had helped Xu Cairen before, suddenly snorted, and said sarcastically: "Sisters, have you heard about it? Yesterday the emperor called Lin Cairen to sleep, and the two had a spring night together. It's a pity that a certain Man, I tried my best to get the opportunity to serve the bed, but nothing happened, I wasted a good opportunity, I really laughed myself to death!"

Among the concubines present, the one who was taken away by the emperor but never served was Zhao Nuoqing and Zhao Cairen?
Where did Han Baolin have the guts to mock the talented Zhao Nuoqing?
What's more, behind Zhao Cairen, there is a queen backing him. Could it be that Han Baolin has lost his mind and gone crazy?

Everyone was wondering, but Xu Cairen, who was silent on weekdays, suddenly reprimanded Han Baolin with a serious face, "Han Baolin! You are so presumptuous! Don't you know that the emperor rewarded sister Zhao with a Kitten, this is the only one in the palace! It is enough to see how much the emperor cares about Sister Zhao! It is only a matter of time before Sister Zhao goes to bed!"

After all, Xu Cairen ignored Han Baolin, took Zhao Nuoqing's hand very affectionately, and comforted: "Sister, don't talk to her!"

Zhao Nuoqing frowned slightly, looked at the jealous eyes cast from all around, and couldn't help thinking: Did Xu Cairen mention the reward given to her by the emperor in front of so many concubines, did he want to make her fall into the target of public criticism?
Was she really angry at Han Baolin for her this time, or did she do it on purpose?

What good is it for her?
Facing Xu Cairen's sudden gesture of favor, Zhao Nuoqing kept vigilance in his heart, smiled slightly, and nodded to show it.

Why Han Baolin mocked Zhao Cairen so boldly is unknown to everyone, but when Xu Cairen helped Zhao Cairen in this way, everyone's thoughts began to come alive.

They all wondered if there was a queen behind Xu Cairen?

Han Baolin snorted suddenly, and looked at Xu Cairen with disgust on his face, "Yo! It's only at this time that I started to play the role of sisters? I don't know how Xu Cairen treated Zhao Cairen when Zhao Cairen was backed by a queen. Damn, can you act like everyone forgets?"

It turned out that she also knew that behind Zhao Cairen was the queen!

Xu Cairen was instantly embarrassed, and turned his head to glare at Han Baolin, "How did I treat Zhao Cairen? My younger sister Zhao and I are brothers and sisters, don't you want to sow discord here!"

Zhao Nuoqing wondered, when did she and Xu Cairen become "brothers in love"?

At this time, a eunuch suddenly sang outside: "Concubine Shu is here!"

As a result, everyone temporarily silenced their flags and drums, and knelt down to the ground to pay their respects to Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu walked straight to the front with her head held high, without pausing, as if all the kneelings on the ground were ants, not worth mentioning.

The maid who served the tea immediately served the tea, and Concubine Shu took a sip of the tea before she said slowly: "Everyone is free!"

Everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, but they also knew Concubine Shu's temper. Concubine Shu was originally arrogant, but now she has a prince by her side, so she is even more arrogant and domineering. Since her family background cannot compete with it, she can only swallow it silently. this tone.
