The queen also noticed the emperor's eyes, and spoke quickly to get his attention: "Your Majesty has finished drinking pigeon soup, and I haven't asked you yet, why did you come to Kunning Palace suddenly today?"

Lu Jinhuan was stunned again. Of course she knew the Queen's temperament. She didn't expect that she was not too polite when getting along with the Emperor. Instead, she had a familiarity that no one else could get into.

But then she thought that they were a serious couple, and that was how they should be. It was only natural that the emperor indulged her.

It's not like she has to be careful every time she serves, for fear of making Xiao Yiqi unhappy, for fear of being punished if she does something wrong, for fear of being nothing without pampering.

How could the queen be the same as her?

Xiao Yiqi put the queen's hand in his palm and rubbed it, "Awan must have forgotten again that the fifteenth day is the day we sleep together."

However, after hearing Xiao Yiqi's words, the queen did not become happy, but felt a little depressed.

Lu Jinhuan looked at it and felt a little surprised: Aren't all the concubines in the harem looking forward to His Majesty's visit in person and receiving His Majesty's favor? But why does the queen look so disappointed? Is there something inhumane about this?
Thinking of this, Lu Jinhuan couldn't help but start to guess, could it be that the emperor's actions were all done for others to see?

Not as gentle and loving as she thought?
The queen smiled lightly and said nothing else. She seemed to be in no mood to continue chatting with Lu Jinhuan.

Just when Lu Jinhuan was about to say her resignation again, the emperor's eyes fell on her again.

"Just now I heard from the queen that you are Fu Huaijin's wife who is ill in bed and has never been seen?"

No matter how reluctant Lu Jinhuan was, it was worthwhile to bow down and salute, and replied with a low eyebrow: "Thank you for asking, Your Majesty, I am the wife of Fu Huaijin."

Xiao Yiqi snorted in his heart, feeling that Lu Jinhuan usually looked smart in front of her, but now he became a fool in front of the queen.

He couldn't tell that the queen's words meant that she was using her as a raft in front of him and had ulterior motives for her. She looked silly and happy.

"It's not too early for Fucheng. Madam Fu, please send him back with all his beard and tail." Xiao Yiqi did not look at Fucheng.

Fucheng hesitated, and the Queen did not ask him to send Lu away. However, His Majesty's words meant that the imperial edict had to be obeyed, so she agreed and asked Lu Jinhuan to go out with him.

The expression on the Queen's face immediately collapsed when she saw this, "Your Majesty, I haven't asked Mrs. Fu to leave yet. She is a guest that I personally invited to Fu's house. There are many things I haven't said to her. How can you do this?" You made the decision for my concubine and sent her away?"

It can be said that this statement did not take the emperor's order seriously at all, and was even suspected of contradicting the emperor.

Xiao Yiqi's expression immediately turned cold.

The queen panicked when she saw it. She knew that she had just said the wrong thing. She quickly forced a smile and carefully changed her words: "Your Majesty, you don't know something. When I met Mrs. Fu today, I felt very familiar. Recently, I also felt that it was very boring, so I thought of asking Mrs. Fu to sit with me for a while, chat and pass the time, what do you think?"

In the end, she was still the queen. Xiao Yiqi couldn't refute her, so he didn't say anything.

Looking at the emperor's face, the queen knew that he agreed, and felt relieved.

However, Xiao Yiqi held the queen's hand tightly and asked casually: "Why did Awan suddenly summon Fu Huaijin's wife into the palace? Why haven't I seen you thinking about this before?"

The word "thought" made the queen almost panic and lose her balance. Fortunately, she quickly regained her composure, curved her lips and smiled softly: "Your Majesty is a man, so he doesn't understand the difficulties of women. Since I married you, I have been living in the palace, and I usually don't have anyone to accompany me when I talk. "

"I want to see you, but you are busy with political affairs, and Concubine Shu is too young to chat with me, so she feels a little boring in the palace. Fortunately, Mrs. Fu can have a chat with me, and I feel better. Much more comfortable.”

Xiao Yiqi's forehead swelled after hearing these words. Did the Queen have no brains or was she really too courageous?

She actually said something in front of him and his wife that the palace was boring and boring. Could it be that the queen had regrets after sitting there for a long time?

Thinking of this, the emperor's deep eyes darkened.

The Queen was right next to Xiao Yiqi and quickly noticed his displeasure.

The emperor was suspicious, and her husband was even more suspicious. She just said those were just excuses, and I'm afraid he felt that something bad had happened to him.

He hurriedly explained: "It turns out that what Cai Chen and my concubine said just now was just an excuse. I was afraid that I would be embarrassed if I couldn't say it."

She covered her mouth with her hands and smiled deliberately.

Xiao Yiqi raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "Then I would like to know why the queen wants to keep her."

The queen glanced at Lu Jinhuan, then smiled shyly. "Your Majesty, do you think Mrs. Fu is pretty?"

How could an emperor comment on the appearance of his minister's wife? Xiao Yiqi did not reply to her.

The queen naturally knew this, so she continued: "It is rumored that Master Fu rejected many ladies in the capital for Mrs. Fu. I am just curious about what she looks like. How could Master Fu be so affectionate and considerate for a long time?" Mrs. Fu, who is still ill, has rejected so many good daughters."

"When I took a look today, I saw that she is indeed a rare beauty. She is so beautiful that there are not many in the capital. No wonder she would rather offend other adults than guard Mrs. Fu. I feel so much love for her when I think about it."

After the queen finished praising Lu Jinhuan's appearance, she turned her eyes back to the emperor, "In a few days, there will be an election. It will be the most formal election since His Majesty took the throne for so long, so I thought if I could compare with Fu For a beauty like Madam, wouldn’t it be better to choose a few that suit His Majesty’s liking?”

I don't know if the queen can't speak, or if the meaning of her words feels a bit awkward, but she has no other thoughts. Xiao Yiqi's expression is obviously much better than before.

Lu Jinhuan thought more deeply. From what the queen meant, the emperor had no idea that she had been summoned to the palace.

So Xiao Yiqi didn't interfere in her affairs. Could it be that the queen was hiding it from the emperor?

Could it be that the Queen's move was to win over Fu Huaijin and bend the law for personal gain?

Lu Jinhuan suddenly felt his eyebrows beating. If this were the case, the Queen's treatment of her would make sense.

It must have been the queen's mother's family who had committed the crime, and Fu Huaijin was investigating the cases of the Xu family and Gao Zhixiang for the emperor.

Most of the Wang family was also involved in the issue of disaster relief funds in Shu.
