Queen is fearless

Chapter 77
After lunch, Gu Jinzhi took a rest before getting on the phoenix chariot and heading to Ci'an Palace.

Now that it's cold and snowing, Gu Jinzhi is wearing a snow-white fox fur with a bright red palace dress inside.

Only she, the empress, dared to wear such a color, and she was the only one who didn't look gaudy even in bright red.

On the contrary, wearing this color on her body made her complexion extraordinarily fair, which made her look very pretty.

The phoenix chariot fell, Gu Jinzhi supported Qingluan's hand, and got off the phoenix chariot.

Outside Ci'an Palace, several sedan chairs had already parked, and the rest must have arrived.

After entering Ci'an Palace, Gu Jinzhi walked towards the main hall. Since it was an opera, it must be in the spacious main hall, otherwise, the palace staff of Shanglefang would not be able to perform it.

In the hall, Concubine Xing was sitting at the head, although her face was pale, her spirits looked good.

Concubine Jin was talking to her, occasionally asking Concubine Dong a few words, Jiang Xiuyi was sitting on a chair, waiting patiently, Concubine Shen was also there, but said nothing.

"After all, it's the queen, the airs are big, you have been here for a long time, and the queen has not been seen yet."

Looking around in the hall, Concubine Xing smiled and spoke with a little coldness in her words.

"The empress is here!" As soon as Concubine Xing's words fell, the palace people's chanting came from outside the hall. Gu Jinzhi came in from outside the hall with a chill all over his body.

All the concubines got up quickly and saluted Gu Jinzhi. She walked forward and waited until she got close, and then blessed the dowager Xing.

After all, she is a concubine, in front of so many people, she always has to make face for her.

"Just now we were talking about the queen, and now the queen is here." Signaling Gu Jinzhi to get up, Concubine Xing said with a smile, "I ordered a few plays just now, the queen has a look at the excerpts, do you like them?"

At this moment, all the concubines also stood up and sat down again. Gu Jinzhi took over the playbook presented by the palace servants and glanced at it.

"These are pretty good." She was not interested in listening to the opera, and she was babbling, which made people sleepy.

I came to Ci'an Palace just to see, what the hell is Concubine Xing going to do?

"Is the concubine's body better? I asked the imperial doctor before, saying that you are weak and need to rest."

Taking advantage of the preparations made by the palace people, Gu Jinzhi looked at Concubine Xing and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry for the empress. Bengong's health is already much better, so I invite you to come and watch the show with me. It's also very lively."

After taking a sip of tea, Concubine Xing responded with a smile, "Speaking of which, it has been half a year since the queen entered the palace, right?"

"Well, yes, I was not used to it at first, but now I'm used to it." With a smile, Gu Jinzhi could probably guess what Concubine Xing wanted to say.

"The empress dowager and this palace are both old. What I hope most is for children and grandchildren to be around their knees. I don't know when will there be any movement in the empress' belly?"

His eyes fell on the empress, and seeing her wearing a bright red palace attire, the eyes of Dowager Xing narrowed slightly.

This color was the color she wanted to wear the most when she was young, but unfortunately, when she entered the palace, she was just a concubine and was not qualified to wear it.

Even if she was favored by the first emperor, she still couldn't beat the empress dowager at that time. She only wore such a color in her dreams.

But now, wearing it on the queen's body made her feel so dazzling.

"A few days ago, I went to Shoukang Palace with the emperor to pay my respects to the queen mother. The queen mother also mentioned this. She let me relax and said that the child is fate, and everything will come naturally."

"I thought, this year is almost the New Year. If I am pregnant, I am afraid that I will have a baby at the hottest time next year. I am still looking forward to it. In two months, it is best to celebrate the New Year."

Gu Jinzhi's words left Concubine Xing speechless. After all, the queen mother is the queen's serious mother-in-law. She persuaded the queen to relax. As a concubine, what right do she have to dictate?
"Don't worry too, Concubine Tai. After the new year, there will be a talent show in the palace. The Empress Dowager will definitely choose a suitable concubine for King Rui. At that time, Concubine Tai will have children and grandchildren around her knees."

Seeing that Concubine Xing's expression was not very good-looking, Gu Jinzhi smiled and continued.

"I'm looking forward to it very much." She raised her eyebrows, Concubine Xing's complexion was as usual, and the queen's teeth were sharp, she had seen it before.

After a lot of coming and going, the palace people were almost ready, the good show started, and there was only the sound of babbling and singing in the hall.

Gu Jinzhi sat on the chair and took a sip from the teacup. The tea served by Concubine Xing was not bad.

Looking around the hall, the furnishings in the hall are still the same as before and have not changed.

Some of the concubines in the palace were concentrating on watching the opera, while others, like her, were not focused on the opera.

Once the play was over, Concubine Xing gave a reward, and Gu Jinzhi also ordered people to watch it.

Although I don't know what to play, it's hard work after all.

"The play just now was really good. In this man's back house, his wife and concubine must live in harmony."

Above, Concubine Xing smiled and said, Gu Jinzhi responded with a smile after hearing her finish.

From her point of view, the current harem is quite harmonious. Although Concubine Dong likes to make small moves, it is not a big deal.

Lin Jieyu's side was very quiet, and she kept sending people to watch.

As for the others, they didn't have Concubine Dong's thoughts, and they were still stable. Even if there were some who were not stable, if the emperor didn't give them a chance, they wouldn't be able to make any troubles.

In general, she is quite satisfied.

"There is a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not?" Seeing that the queen agreed and didn't want to speak anymore, Concubine Xing had no choice but to speak up.

"Concubine Toffee, please tell me something." Gu Jinzhi replied with a smile. After such a long delay, it's time to get to the point.

"I heard that since the queen entered the palace, the emperor has favored the queen alone."

"In this harem, it is always important to share the rain and dew evenly. The new concubines Jingui and Shengui who have just entered the palace have not been in bed until now, so the queen has nothing to say?"

It stands to reason that Concubine Xing is not qualified to say such things, and the Empress Dowager doesn't care, let alone she is a concubine.

However, in the past, the Concubine Xing, because she was favored by the late emperor, always said one thing in the palace, so even now, she often forgets her identity.

"The concubine said this, where the emperor wants to go, how can others control it?"

"Indeed, the emperor often goes to my Fengyang Palace. As a queen and the emperor's official wife, I welcome my husband when I see her. I can't drive the emperor out, can I?"

"I've heard that when Concubine Xing was favored back then, she was favored exclusively by Jiaofang. At that time, did Concubine ever think about letting the former emperor get the rain and dew?"

Gu Jinzhi looked at her with a smile on his face, "Princess Xing probably forgot why Concubine Jin Gui and Concubine Shen Gui entered the palace, and now they are like this, could it be that Concubine Dowager never thought of that?" ?"

"Let's take a step back and let's not talk about the two of them, just you, the concubine. Even if the queen do not intervene in the affairs of the harem, is it inappropriate for you, a concubine, to want to point fingers?"
