The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

Chapter 6 Rewards
Zhao Nuoqing lowered his head, and could only see the skirts of the emperor and empress, the emperor's black ground embroidered golden dragon boots, and the empress's forged shoes with brocade pendants and tassels.

The two of them had already taken off their heavy and complicated court clothes and put on ordinary clothes, but even if they were ordinary clothes, it could be seen that the materials and processes of the two clothes were very complicated and extremely expensive, and they were beyond the control of human beings.

Xu Shi had already had a conversation with the emperor and empress in front of the Tai'an Hall, so Zhao Nuoqing was not so nervous at this time, and kowtowed to the two of them in a polite manner.

"The talented concubine, Mrs. Zhao, pays respects to the emperor and empress. May the emperor and empress be safe!"

Seeing Long Yan for the first time, the two maids behind were terrified, but they did not embarrass their master after all, and kowtowed to the two of them with the same courtesy.

"Slave Jin He/Jin Miao send greetings to the Emperor and Empress!"

After the two of them finished talking, Xu Baolin's trembling voice of greetings came from behind him: "Concubine... Concubine to the emperor... Your Majesty's greetings! Queen... Queen's empress, please greet me!"

Zhao Nuoqing lowered his head, without any expression on his face, but felt a little displeased in his heart.

Xu Baolin drove her away so anxiously just now, he must be afraid that she would steal his limelight and win the emperor's favor.

But she never thought that she was a step too late and directly ran into the emperor and queen, and I don't know how Xu Baolin feels at this moment?
She had no intention of competing for favor, but seeing that there was no one around her to serve her, she felt pity, and she was going to leave after Xu Baolin drank the medicine.

But Xu Baolin didn't want her to comfort her sincerely, and was almost implicated and punished by her, so he only planned on her, which is really chilling!
Now that she has once again disrespected in front of the palace, I am afraid that the emperor will no longer be interested in pampering her, and her calculations may be in vain!

Seeing Xu Baolin with disheveled hair and trembling body under the bed, the emperor really showed disgust in his eyes.

Today it was he who ordered the eunuch not to hold an umbrella for him, he expected the concubines to follow suit, but it took only half an hour, he didn't expect Xu Baolin's body to be so weak.

Shen Bochen had a hint of anger in his heart.

The Empress Dowager was exhausted all the way, so it was not appropriate to disturb her too much. After sending the Empress Dowager to the Palace of Compassion, he thought of coming over to condolences. When Xu Baolin fell out of bed unseemly, it was really ugly!

Looking down at Zhao Cairen at his feet, he was wearing a goose yellow brocade skirt, his hair was tied in a bun meticulously, and an apricot flower hairpin of the same color was inserted on it. His slender neck was slightly exposed, looking refreshing and dazzling. Day by day.

Seeing this, the empress immediately sent Qingyan, the palace lady behind her, to help Xu Baolin up, and said with a smile: "Xu Baolin's body hasn't recovered yet, he must rest well! Where are the maids around me? Why is there no one to serve her?" ?”

The queen's voice recalled Shen Bochen's thoughts, and said in a cold voice with a slightly gloomy face: "Free from courtesy!"

With the support of Qing Yan, Xu Baolin got up tremblingly.

Without waiting for Xu Baolin to answer, the queen turned around to look at Zhao Nuoqing, and asked with a smile, "Is Zhao Cairen leaving?"

Zhao Nuoqing lowered his brows and eyes, bowed to the queen, and said truthfully: "Go back to the queen, it's exactly, Xu Baolin said that she was sleepy after drinking the medicine, so he asked the concubine to go back to rest first!"

Listening to Zhao Nuoqing's words, the queen thought for a while and immediately understood.

She said that the emperor and she would come to see them, so Xu Baolin couldn't wait to drive Zhao Nuoqing away.

The means are clumsy!

The queen said so.

The queen's face turned slightly cold, and she looked at Xu Baolin with a little annoyance.

But the emperor seemed to be unaware, and said lightly: "Xu Baolin is a man who knows how to repay his kindness, thank you!"

Such a sentence made Xu Baolin almost faint with excitement, and just now he saw the empress's cold eyes, thinking that the little thought in his heart was discovered by the empress, and he was panicking, never thought that the emperor would praise her, the panic in his heart Instantly resolved a lot.

Heart said: The emperor is the king of a country and the head of a family, as long as the emperor loves her and likes her, that's fine!

The queen did not expose her, and said with a smile: "Since the emperor has rewarded Xu Baolin, I will reward Zhao Cairen. In this way, outsiders will not say that you and I neglect the other! Zhao Cairen, raise your head!"

Zhao Nuoqing raised her head obediently, her eyes were lowered, but she was puzzled in her heart, why did she raise her head?
A moment later, the queen's slightly surprised voice suddenly sounded in my ear.

"I'm not mistaken, she really is a beauty, even more beautiful than Concubine Jin!"

Rumor has it that Concubine Jin is the most beautiful woman in the capital, with outstanding looks, and the daughter of a second-rank official in the imperial court. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the proud daughter of heaven.

Zhao Nuoqing hurriedly lowered his head and put on an open-minded look: "I'm terrified! How dare my concubine Pu Liu's appearance be compared to that of Concubine Jin!"

"Humph!"

Zhao Nuoqing frowned slightly, feeling as if she was hallucinating, she seemed to hear the sound humming from the emperor's nostrils, she seemed to be disdainful or contemptuous, but it was not a good intention.

Was the snort aimed at her or the queen?

Although the voice was very soft, the queen heard it clearly.

The empress showed no dissatisfaction on her face, she pretended not to hear, and continued to say to Zhao Nuoqing: "Zhao Cairen don't need to belittle yourself! There are so many concubines in the harem, it seems that you have never met Zhao Cairen when you drink tea and chat in the past? But not yet. Did you sleep in?"

There was a hint of embarrassment and shyness on Zhao Nuoqing's face. I don't know how the queen saw it, so he bit the bullet and said: "Yes! The concubine has never slept with me before!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Nuoqing instantly felt a very hot stare over his head.

The queen raised her brows slightly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Since that's the case, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. My gift to you is... how about serving the emperor to bed today?"

Zhao Nuoqing's heart sank suddenly, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and she was at a loss what to do.

Jin Miao and Jin He behind them were very excited, but they didn't dare to show it, while Xu Baolin, who was ignored by others, was full of jealousy.

Zhao Nuoqing was so flustered that he didn't know how to answer, when suddenly the emperor's sullen voice came from above his head, "Nonsense! Which concubine I want to favor, do I still need the queen's arrangement?"

The queen said in a calm tone: "As the empress of the middle palace, it is the job of the ministers and concubines to choose innocent and good-looking women for the emperor to be the emperor's heirs. How can it be considered nonsense?"

Hearing the words of the two who seemed to be arguing, Zhao Nuoqing was deeply surprised.

Aren't the emperor and the queen deeply affectionate and very affectionate?Now, are they arguing?

Zhao Nuoqing lowered his head, wishing that at this moment, he was deaf or blind, unable to see or hear, so that he could avoid the embarrassment in front of him.

However, they seemed to feel more embarrassed that she wasn't enough.

The emperor suppressed the anger in his throat, and said coldly as if angry: "Don't bother the empress! I think Zhao Cairen has much better eyes than the empress. As Zhao Cairen said, she is just like a willow. In my opinion , it’s not as delicate and charming as Xu Baolin’s appearance, tonight, I will turn over Xu Baolin’s brand! Come, send Xu Baolin to Yangrong Hall!”

After all, the emperor didn't care about the queen behind him, and left on his own
