Queen is fearless

Chapter 48 Trust or Not
Gu Jinzhi was sitting on the soft couch, tapping the small table with her fingers, thinking about what Jiang Xiuyi said.

Sitting on the chair, Jiang Xiuyi felt a little nervous. She was worried that her words would be misunderstood by the queen.

If it weren't for the queen, she wouldn't be where she is today, so in front of the queen, she would never have any thoughts that she shouldn't have.

Gu Jinzhi raised his eyes by chance, saw Jiang Xiuyi's expression, and smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous, I'm just thinking about something, I don't mean to doubt you."

When she said this, Jiang Xiuyi felt relieved, and felt more and more that the empress was wise.

"You're right, the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xing have just returned, if something happens..."

Gu Jinzhi didn't say the latter, but Jiang Xiuyi understood.

"Don't worry, I think the same as you. I feel that Yingchun's death is not that simple. I also had some doubts. What you are worried about will never happen."

Picking up the tea and taking a sip, Gu Jinzhi spoke again, Jiang Xiuyi stood up and saluted her.

"The empress said so, and the concubine felt relieved. If it wasn't for the empress, maybe the concubine would be gone. I would never dare to have second thoughts about the empress."

"I know." After hearing her finish, Gu Jinzhi responded with a smile. Although it was only four short words, it made Jiang Xiuyi's heart feel a little chilly.

"Your Majesty, can Jiang Xiuyi really be trusted?" After Jiang Xiuyi left, Qingluan turned her gaze away from the hall and asked in a low voice.

"In this harem, there has never been anyone or anything that can be completely trusted. Sometimes, I will deceive myself, let alone others."

Gu Jinzhi smiled, stood up from the soft couch, walked to the coral tree in the hall, and stretched out his hand to touch it.

Confusion appeared on Qingluan's face, she felt that she didn't quite understand what the master meant.

"This coral is so beautiful." Gu Jinzhi turned her back to Qingluan, unable to see the expression on her face, she smiled and praised the coral in front of her.

Nanny Yan supported Concubine Xing's hand and walked into Ci'an Palace, her eyes looked around.

When the first emperor passed away and Concubine Xing moved to Ci'an Palace, compared with that time, it seems that there is not much change.

Concubine Xing did not look sideways, walked towards the main hall, entered the main hall, and only then did Madam Yan see the difference.

The inside of the hall has been meticulously tidied up, and the items displayed have changed. They may look inconspicuous, but they are all priceless treasures.

Take a closer look, although it is better than in the past, compared with today's Shoukang Palace, there is still a difference.

These differences did not exist in the past.

"This empress... will flatter you." Apparently, Concubine Xing also noticed, she sat on the chaise longue and snorted softly.

From the moment she saw the queen, she didn't like her. The queen's appearance was far better than when she was young.

As a woman, even if she is not a competitor, when she faces someone who is better than herself, she will inevitably feel jealous in her heart.

"Concubine Tai, today is no better than in the past." Madam Yan is the old man next to Concubine Xing, and she has been following her since she entered the palace.

Except for her, no one dared to say such a thing in front of Concubine Xing.

"I know." Concubine Xing replied, of course she understands that now is not the same as in the past.

When the former emperor was still there, she favored the sixth palace, and even the empress had to give her three points.

What's hateful is that she is so cunning, even if she can't give birth to a child, she still raises her, becomes the prince, and ascends the throne.

Otherwise, she should be the one living in Shoukang Palace now!

For so many years, she has never been reconciled. However, her son is not up to date. He is obviously capable, but...he just doesn't come to fight for it. It really makes people angry!
Regarding Taifei Xing's thoughts, Madam Yan knew very well, she had advised Concubine Xing several times, hoping that Concubine Xing could stay away from the harem and go to the prince's fiefdom.

But Concubine Xing has always been stubborn, no matter what she says about this matter, she will not listen to her.

In desperation, she had no choice but to be careful all the time and persuade her in everything. Even the prince often wrote letters to persuade her.

"Does the Xing family know about the news of Bengong's return?" Dowager Xing asked as if remembering something.

"As early as a month ago, I sent someone to tell me, I must have known about it." Yan Momo didn't know what the master was thinking, and quickly responded.

"Since that's the case, tomorrow I'll send someone to the Xing family to tell me that I miss my family and let them choose a few children to come to the palace to accompany me."

With a smile on her lips, Concubine Xing gave orders, and Nanny Yan was taken aback, a little hesitant.

"What? Even you want to disobey me?" Looking sideways at Yan Momo, Dowager Xing's voice was full of displeasure.

"This old slave doesn't dare." Sighing in her heart, Madam Yan bowed to Concubine Xing and retreated outside the hall.

Seeing that Yan Momo was gone, Concubine Xing looked away, and her eyes turned around in the hall, a little gloomy.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, the emperor is here." As the evening approached, Mammy Liu came in from outside the hall with some joy on her face.

The Empress Dowager was leaning on the soft couch, letting the little palace maid pinch her shoulders and rub her back, when she heard the reply, she waved her hand and ordered Mother Liu to invite the Emperor in.

Entering the hall, Zhou Jing saluted the queen mother, speaking respectfully, the queen mother beckoned him to stand up and motioned him to come closer.

Walking to the side of the soft couch, Zhou Jing sat by the empress dowager's lap. The empress dowager looked at him with a loving smile on her face, "Before, the Ai family was worried that you would lose weight, but now I see that you are not thin, and your complexion is not as good. good."

Although the emperor was not his own, but he was raised by the empress dowager since he was a child, and the empress dowager always regarded him as her own child.

The Empress Dowager knew about the emperor's habits. In summer, he always had a bad appetite. Coupled with the busy court affairs, he would lose a lot of weight.

"It's my son's fault for worrying the queen mother." While the queen mother was looking at him, he was also looking at the queen mother, "Just like the queen mother, my son is also worried about you, and now seeing that everything is fine, I finally feel relieved. "

When he said this, the smile on the Empress Dowager's face deepened, "You are a filial child, and Ai's family is very pleased. In the morning, Ai's family met the queen, which is pretty good."

After the death of the first emperor, the crown prince Zhou Jing ascended the throne, honoring the first emperor's empress as the queen mother, and other concubines were also rewarded according to the regulations.

When everything was settled, the Empress Dowager proposed to go out of the palace to save the former emperor and pray for the new emperor, but Zhou Jing couldn't hold her back, so she had to agree.

Because of this, when the Empress Dowager got married, the Empress Dowager was not in Beijing, and yesterday was the first time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law met after the Empress's wedding.

Hearing the empress dowager praise Gu Jinzhi, a smile appeared on Zhou Jing's face, "Thanks to the empress, this summer, my son can live more comfortably, and he doesn't lose weight."

When he said this, the queen mother was a little surprised. She looked at the emperor's expression and saw that he seemed to like the queen very much.

Although she hadn't been in the palace for a long time, she knew about the affairs in the palace. The emperor and queen got married, and the emperor lived in Fengyang Palace for a few days before moving back to Longgan Palace.

Obviously, the emperor didn't like the empress at that time, but now... I don't know what method the empress used to make the emperor change his mind?
