Empress, she is rising step by step

Xu Tingyue's cheeks were slightly hot, "The emperor has over-praised me. I am not as good as the emperor said. I can barely look past it."

Shen Que only smiled faintly, looking at the fine beads of sweat on Xu Tingyue's forehead, and a faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose.

Shen Que glanced at the scorching sun in the sky and said, "It's such a hot day. I'll send you back to the palace first."

"Then thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Tingyue shyly took Shen Que's hand.

"My concubine has just made sour plum soup. Your Majesty, please go to my concubine's palace for a while and have a bowl of it to relieve the heat."

Seeing Shen Que and Xu Tingyue walking forward hand in hand, Li Quan behind them reminded him with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, where is the imperial concubine..."

Shen Que was stunned, apparently having forgotten about this matter. He has promised you that Concubine Shu will send her to Jinghong Palace, so it is not easy to make a mistake.

Seeing that Shen Que was obviously hesitant, Xu Tingyue bit her lip and said considerately.

"Does the emperor want to visit the imperial concubine? In this case, the emperor should stay in Yongfu Palace, and I can go back by myself. The imperial concubine is about to give birth, and it is the time when the emperor needs to accompany her."

Shen Que held Xu Tingyue's hand, "Didn't you say you made sour plum soup? I haven't tasted your craft yet. It won't taste good after a long time."

He turned his head and told Li Quan: "Let's go to Jinghong Palace first. I will visit Concubine Shu in the evening."

The emperor has said so, what else can Li Quan do, he can only do as he is told. I'm afraid that if the imperial concubine finds out, she will have a bad temper again.

Sure enough, Bai Xinrui saw that Shen Que was delayed in coming and the food was already cold. She felt strange and sent Wei Jinzhong to see what was going on.

Soon, Wei Jinzhong appeared in front of Bai Xinrui with a dark face.

"Back to your Majesty, when the Emperor walked near the Spring Garden, he saw Concubine Shu playing the flute. Concubine Shu didn't know what she said to the Emperor, so the Emperor went to Jinghong Palace."

"what?!"

When Bai Xinrui heard this, she immediately became furious. She already had a bad temper, but she could only restrain herself a little in front of Shen Que. She immediately took the tea cup and threw it on the ground, causing pieces to fly everywhere.

"Concubine Shu, this bitch! I just said that she has been quiet recently. It turns out that she is acting like a monster. Jinghong Palace is an hour away from Chunse Garden, why is she going there to play Xiao?! She is sure I knew that the emperor was coming to this palace, so I took the opportunity to meet the emperor by chance!"

"Yes, Concubine Shu is deliberately trying to get into trouble with the empress. I heard that Concubine Shu played the flute in Chunse Garden for several days, and she finally got the hope of the emperor."

Wei Jinzhong curled his lips, "The empress is pregnant with a dragon heir, and her status is higher than Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu has no dignity at all. Doesn't this tell everyone that they don't take the empress in their eyes?"

Bai Xinrui looked ugly, as if she wanted to eat someone, and she gave Wei Jinzhong a vicious look.

"If you can't speak, no one will treat you as a mute. If you can't use the two pieces of flesh on your mouth, just sew them up!"

Seeing that Bai Xinrui was very angry, Liu Yan quickly stretched out his hand to give her a hand.

"Empress, please don't be like him. He never speaks, but his heart is for the empress."

"Liu Yan is right, I really feel unworthy of you."

Wei Jinzhong was really wronged. He used to talk like this, and the empress didn't say anything. Why are you so angry now? They say that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, but the empress is not a king either, and has a bigger temper than the emperor.

Seeing Liu Yan secretly winking at him, Wei Jinzhong gritted his teeth and raised his hand to slap himself repeatedly.

"My slave has always been clumsy and clumsy, and I've made my mother-in-law unhappy. Damn it, I'm going to smash this mouth to pieces so that I don't have to make my mother-in-law angry." "Okay, okay, you have to go out and beat me. I am upset after hearing this." Bai Xinrui took the tea handed over by Liu Yan and took a sip to suppress the anger in her heart.

"Yes." Wei Jinzhong raised his eyelids and glanced at Liu Yan, then turned and went out.

"Concubine Shu did this deliberately to make you angry. If anything happens to you, it will be Concubine Shu's fault."

Liu Yan said softly: "Your Majesty, it's true that what you did is really sad. But based on my understanding of the Emperor, the Emperor will definitely come to see your Majesty in the evening."

"It's all the fault of that bitch Concubine Shu! The emperor was deceived by her."

Bai Xinrui's breathing was rapid, "It seems that she hasn't learned her lesson from what happened last time, since she dares to go against me so blatantly. Good, good!"

She slapped the table angrily, thinking of something, and said to the convection smoke: "You have someone make a pot of perilla drink and send it to Jinghong Palace. I heard that Concubine Shu stood under the scorching sun for a long time, and I was afraid that she would catch the heat. Give me some perilla drink to relieve the heat."

Liu Yan smiled and nodded. "My slave knows. Then I'll ask someone to heat up the food. Your Majesty, please don't go hungry."

Bai Xinrui was so irritable that she let out a dull sigh and let the smoke go.

Zhu Ci also heard about it soon, and she was feeding Wu Yun some dried meat.

"The emperor went to Concubine Shu's palace. The concubine was very unhappy when she found out, so she asked Wei Jinzhong to send a pot of perilla drink to Jinghong Palace. Who knew that when it was getting dark, Jinghong Palace suddenly became anxious and panicked? He asked the imperial physician."

Zhuying covered her lips and laughed, "Master, guess what's going on?"

Zhu Ci cooperated: "Let me think about it." She pretended to be confused and thought for a while.

"The imperial concubine put a laxative in the perilla drink, right?"

Zhuying clapped her hands, her eyes bright, "Master, how do you know? The imperial doctor said it was because of taking laxatives. The imperial concubine was too courageous, and the emperor was also there at the time. What if the emperor took it?"

Xiao Yinzi, who was silent at the side, suddenly laughed and said, "Didn't Sister Zhuying notice? The emperor doesn't like to eat perilla, so naturally he doesn't like to drink perilla drink either."

"No wonder I forgot about this." Zhuying slapped her head. Unexpectedly, it was so hard that she grimaced in pain.

"What are you doing? What are you doing to beat yourself up?"

Zhu Ci was startled. She stood up and took Zhuying's hand apart to see that it was okay, but a little red.

"You girl, you've dealt such a heavy blow to yourself. You're not very smart to begin with. Wouldn't it make you even more stupid if you break it?"

Zhuying stuck out her tongue. She didn't expect that she was so strong.

"But aren't you afraid that the emperor will know about it? Concubine Shu is one of the four concubines after all, and her family background is not ordinary."

"The imperial concubine was favored when she was at home. When she entered the palace, her holy family was so powerful that no one could rival her, so she became even more unafraid of heaven and earth. Moreover, her mother's family was in a position of power, so even the emperor would be somewhat afraid of this kind of thing. Naturally, I turned a blind eye."

Zhu Ci touched Wu Yun's head, Wu Yun narrowed his eyes in enjoyment and made a purring sound.

"If other people had such a background and a capable father and brother, they would be even more arrogant than this. But there is only one real master in this palace, and that is the emperor. I don't know if the imperial concubine and the Bai family father and son know about it. This makes sense.”
