The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 3 The Queen Mother Returns
Not long after, Jin Miao came out with the support of Jin He and Su Quan. She saw that her clothes were still a little wrinkled after some tidying up, and her round face was pale with fright. Zhao Nuoqing's heart ached, and she wished she could kill Chang Wei with her own hands.

But she can't, after today, life has to go on as usual, if there is a breakup, it will not be good for them.

I just wronged Jin Miao...

Zhao Nuoqing silently exhaled the suffocation in his heart, and said to Jin Miao and the others: "Let's go!"

Before taking two steps, Chang Wei's treacherous voice with a smile on his face came from behind him again, "Your Majesty, go slowly! There is no time to turn around, this slave will personally visit you and Jin Miao in your palace!"

Jin He, who was carefully supporting Jin Miao, said angrily, "Is this dog slave planning to blackmail us for the rest of our lives? Why is it that visiting you and Jin Miao is threatening you, and he will come here frequently to ask for money!"

Zhao Nuoqing remained silent, she understood Chang Wei's implication.

It's just asking for money, she has plenty of it, as long as he doesn't try to trick the people in her palace, everything will be fine.

……

Let's say that when everyone left the eunuch's office slowly, the emperor Shen Bochen and the chief eunuch Han Mingde quietly walked out of the alley in the opposite direction of the palace road not far away.

Shen Bochen stared indifferently at the back of the farther and farther ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

Han Mingde didn't dare to guess, but he was really surprised when the emperor led him to hide in this alley in a hurry.

The majestic emperor of a country, even if he hears someone else's wall, the one who should be frightened and afraid should be the other party. Why does the emperor have to avoid it so carefully?

Just as he was thinking, Shen Bochen suddenly said in a deep voice: "This kind of evil slave, let's find a way to deal with it!"

Han Mingde looked back at the few people in the eunuch's office who were happily counting the money, but he didn't show any sympathy, and immediately replied: "Your servant knows!"

Today's emperor respects humble etiquette the most. How dare a little servant threaten to scheme against the emperor's concubine. Even if he is not favored, he is still a serious master. Such a slave who climbs high and tramples on the low will not regret his death!
Han Mingde waited on the emperor to leave, and immediately sent people to arrest Chang Wei and the others, who knew how artificial they were.

Besides, today's incident happened by accident, that Zhao Cairen looks gorgeous and delicate, and he is also top-notch in this harem where there is no shortage of beauties.

Today, he was picked on by an eunuch because he was not favored, but in the end he did not lose the majesty of his master too much. Thinking about whether the emperor liked his appearance or made up for his humiliated talent, today he would definitely let that Zhao The talented man was in bed, but he never thought that the emperor never mentioned that talented Zhao again.

Apparently, that Zhao Cairen was beautiful but didn't have the Sacred Heart, and the Emperor's kindness was too stingy to give her a share.

Han Mingde couldn't help but feel pity for her, no matter how beautiful a beauty is, it's useless to lose her sacred heart, thinking that there are so many beauties in the palace, the emperor is probably dazzled by it, and doesn't think it's rare.

So gradually, he no longer cared about it.

……

It's May in the blink of an eye, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. Zhao Nuoqing, who is not resistant to heat, stays in the house to hide from the sun every day, but even so, the house is still hot, so Jin He uses a cattail fan Fan the wind to drive her away the heat.

At present, the ice cubes in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are scarce, and they have to be reserved for cooking in the imperial dining room, and even if they have money, they can't spend them.

Fortunately, because she is not favored, no one in the palace pays attention to her, and she doesn't have to go to Fengwu Palace to pay her respects to the queen on a hot day, and just stay in the room by herself and be happy, otherwise she would really be wanted dead.

However, the world is impermanent, and such a comfortable day came to an abrupt end on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Let's talk about the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun is so high that it seems to be drying people out. It just so happened that the queen mother who set off to Putuo Temple to pray for the country on the sixth day of the new year came back on this day.

After more than half a year there, the emperor was grateful for the hard work of the empress dowager, and ordered all the concubines in the palace to pick her up in front of the Tai'an Hall, except Fumei who was pregnant.

Tai'an Hall is the place where the emperor and ministers go to court, women are not allowed to set foot here easily, but the Queen Mother is different, she is the most honorable woman in the palace.

Under the honor of the Empress Dowager, the concubines in the harem were able to have a glimpse of the majesty of the Jokhang Dynasty in front of the Tai'an Hall.

Zhao Nuoqing, who came early, was ranked among many concubines, because she was a sixth-grade talented person, her status was neither high nor low, with Beauty and Jieyu on top, Baolin and Cainu on her bottom, she was not embarrassed at this moment Standing awkwardly in the crowd, inconspicuous.

Standing at the forefront, the emperor and the queen were dressed in majestic and splendid court clothes and walked side by side, standing respectfully in front of Danbi and waiting for the return of the queen mother. They both wore the most noble bright yellow dragon robe and phoenix robes, like a pair of perfectly natural couples.

Behind the two stood all the concubines in the palace, and they all stood neatly according to their ranks.

The concubines and concubines stood behind them like a small army.

Zhao Nuoqing glanced roughly, there were about forty or fifty concubines, except for the emperor and queen standing in the front, she didn't know the rest.

The former court was so majestic that no one dared to make any noise, not even whispering.

The emperor is notoriously filial, and the sun was shining on his head. In order to show his piety, the emperor said, "It is so hard for the queen mother to eat fast and chant Buddha in Putuo Temple. He is pampered in the palace, but he is only exposed to the sun for a while. The Queen Mother is hard."

Therefore, the little eunuch around him was not allowed to hold an umbrella for him to shade him. Seeing this, all the concubines naturally did not dare to hold an umbrella by themselves.

Zhao Nuoqing complained silently in her heart, expressing her piety by hurting herself is bullshit, if you really appreciate the hard work of the Queen Mother, why don't you just follow the Queen Mother when she is fasting?
Why bother these weak women?
It has been under the hot sun for half an hour now, and the palace makeup that Jin He painted her early in the morning is sticky and greasy on her face, making her feel extremely uncomfortable, as if she was about to faint from the sun.

Zhao Nuoqing shook her dazed head, pinched her thigh hard, and the moment the piercing pain hit, it also woke her up a lot.

She must not faint!

Dare to faint in such a solemn and solemn place, not to mention being beheaded, you will definitely be punished, isn't this just making yourself guilty!

At this time, a young eunuch in gray eunuch uniform hurried over, knelt down in front of the emperor, and said respectfully: "My Majesty, the Empress Dowager has arrived at Chengqian Gate, and she will arrive at Tai'an Hall soon!"

A smile appeared on the emperor's originally expressionless face, he turned sideways, took the queen's hand gently, and said loudly to the front: "Welcome to the queen mother!"

The queen nodded slightly and smiled softly at the emperor.
