Queen is fearless

Chapter 569 Why Stare

On the way to the imperial study, Zhou Jing met Lian Zhaoyi.

"My concubine greets the emperor." Lian Zhaoyi bowed to the emperor in a well-behaved manner.

In the harem, there are only two people who are most trusted by the empress, and they were also picked up by the empress. One is Concubine Hui, and the other is Lian Zhaoyi.

Therefore, whether it is Concubine Hui or Lian Zhaoyi, they can be recognized when standing in front of Zhou Jing.

"Lian Zhaoyi is exempt." With an order, Zhou Jing's eyes quickly turned around.

The road leading to the Imperial Study Room can be said to extend in all directions, so he couldn't even guess where Zhaoyi wanted to go.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After getting up, Lian Zhaoyi raised her head, taking advantage of this time, she looked at Zhou Jing's face.

When she saw it, she was stunned, because it was different from what she thought.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Seeing Lian Zhaoyi staring at him, Zhou Jing asked suspiciously. He turned his head and looked at Yuan Bao. Yuan Bao quickly raised his face, took a closer look, and shook his head.

"I beg your majesty to forgive me. It's my concubine's disrespect. I just feel that your majesty seems to be a little lighter, and his complexion is not as good as before, but he is not feeling well?"

Blessing Zhou Jing, Lian Zhaoyi spoke again, explaining to him the reason for her stupefaction.

"Yuan Bao, is Zhen's complexion really not good? It seems that I have heard it many times during this period of time."

Looking at Yuan Bao again, Zhou Jing smiled and said, Yuan Bao is by his side every day, so naturally he can't see anything.

"If you go back to the emperor, the slave will follow you every day, and you won't be able to see it. You have to find someone who doesn't see you often, so you can see if there is any change."

Hearing the emperor's question, Yuan Bao looked at the emperor's face carefully, and spoke with a wry smile.

"Presumably, it's because I haven't slept well during this period. When the empress gave birth to Yuan Cheng and Yuan Zhen, she was in danger. Now that she is pregnant again, my heart is always not at ease."

After Yuan Bao finished speaking, Zhou Jing turned his head and talked with Lian Zhaoyi.

"It's normal, you and Concubine Hui can go to Fengyang Palace to accompany the queen more, and save her from being bored."

Because Lian Zhaoyi is someone the queen trusts, Zhou Jing's attitude towards her is pretty good.

"Yes." Lian Zhaoyi replied, but she kept thinking about the emperor's bad face.

He wanted to show the emperor a closer look, but he was afraid of being suspected, so after saying a few more words, he bowed and left.

Yesterday, she made an appointment with Concubine Hui to have lunch together at noon today, and she took the opportunity to wait here specially to see what the emperor looks like now.

Now, people have seen it, but her heart is full of confusion, and even a little uneasy.

"Let's go." Seeing Lian Zhaoyi leaving, Zhou Jing ordered, and Yuan Bao followed him and continued walking towards the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, aren't we going to Zhaochun Palace?" The little maid beside her reminded Lian Zhaoyi, who was stupefied, and suddenly came back to her senses.

"Let's go to the flower shop and bring some flowers to Sister Jiang. I saw yesterday that the flowers chosen by the servants in the flower shop are not suitable for Sister Jiang."

In reply, Lian Zhaoyi walked towards the flower shop along the path, the little maid didn't think much, and accompanied her to the flower shop to pick flowers.

By the time we arrived at Zhaochun Palace, it was almost noon.

"Why did you come here? I was planning to send someone to call you." Seeing Lian Zhaoyi, Concubine Hui said angrily.

"I chose some flowers for Sister Jiang. Yesterday's flowers in the palace were not good-looking, but today's..." While talking, she turned her head to look around, "Today's flowers are not good-looking either."

"It's really not very good-looking, and I'm too lazy to bother, so I just let it go." With her current status, Concubine Hui is more tolerant, and things that don't matter, big or small, just pass by casually.

"That won't work. It's because Sister Hui is tolerant, so each of them is careless. You see, the flowers I brought are very beautiful. I have already ordered them to be delivered according to this standard in the future."

Handing the flowers to Zhishu, asking her to replace the previous ones, Lian Zhaoyi and Concubine Hui sat at the table together.

"On the way to the flower shop, I met the emperor and said a few words. The emperor said, let us often go to Fengyang Palace to accompany the empress."

Even Zhaoyi didn't hide the matter of 'encountering' the emperor. The news in the harem always spread quickly, and it would not take long for everyone to know that she had met the emperor.

"It's natural. If you have nothing to do, let's go to accompany the empress, and save her from being bored."

"Speaking of which, since you have met the emperor, you have seen the emperor's face, is it as I said, isn't it very good?"

Thinking of what she said yesterday, Concubine Hui asked Lian Zhaoyi.

"Indeed, as Sister Jiang said, the emperor's complexion is not very good. I also asked, and the emperor said that it is because the empress is pregnant again, and his heart is always uneasy, so he can't sleep well."

Lian Zhaoyi did not hide the conversation with the emperor.

When she said this, Zhishu looked at her, not missing any trace of her expression.

Lian Zhaoyi seemed to have noticed something, and looked up at Zhishu. Right now, Zhishu was standing beside Concubine Hui, and she didn't need to do things like changing flowers herself.

"What's wrong? Is there something on Bengong's face?" Lian Zhaoyi had a feeling that Zhishu seemed to be staring at her.

"I probably left in a hurry. Lian Zhaoyi's hair is a bit messy, but I want my servant to help you comb it again? After tidying it up, I think you can have dinner."

Blessed, Zhishu smiled and said, Lian Zhaoyi reached out to touch her hair, but she didn't feel anything.

"No, it's really a bit messy, so let Zhishu sort it out for you? Zhihua, go get the things."

Concubine Hui looked at Lian Zhaoyi, smiled and ordered, and she said the same, Lian Zhaoyi nodded, and sat at the table, waiting for Zhihua to fetch things, Zhishu rearranged her hair for her.

After tidying up, the lunch was served, Concubine Hui talked about something else, and the two chatted while eating.

Originally, Concubine Hui and Lian Zhaoyi didn't have the habit of taking a nap, but after getting in touch with the Queen more, they developed the habit of taking a nap.

So, after lunch, Lian Zhaoyi was about to leave. Concubine Hui wanted to let her take a nap in Zhaochun Palace, but she refused. She still used to take a nap in her own residence.

Instructing Zhihua to send Lian Zhaoyi out, Concubine Hui stood in the hall, watched Lian Zhaoyi walk away, turned around and returned to the soft couch, and sat down.

"Isn't Your Majesty going to take a nap?" Seeing that Concubine Hui didn't intend to go to the inner room, Zhishu asked suspiciously.

Concubine Hui raised her head and looked at her, "You don't have anything, do you want to explain it to Ben Gong?"

Earlier, Zhishu said that Lian Zhaoyi's hair was messed up. At that time, only Lian Zhaoyi was in the hall, and the little maid beside her was waiting outside the hall.

"I've seen it, and Lian Zhaoyi's hair is not messed up, so why are you staring at Lian Zhaoyi?"
