Queen's scheming

Chapter 164 Calculating ([-])

Yu He skillfully tied a Lingxu bun for Shen Qingyi, scattered a few beads and inserted them into the bun, hesitated for a long while, and finally said: "Your Majesty, Yu Lian didn't return all night yesterday!"

"Huh?" Shen Qingyi pasted an apricot red flower tin on her forehead, tapped it lightly, and fixed it, wondering: "What's going on? But you're too playful, you haven't returned from the palace yet?" Yu Lian said The girl is such a lively temperament.

Yu He shook her head and said: "Although Yu Lian is a little mischievous, she still does things properly. This is in the palace, and she will definitely not do something that will not return all night. Besides, she told her servants yesterday that she was going to the court at night. Yang Palace went to explore, but she has not returned to Ningsu Palace until now, the servants are worried that something happened to her in Zhaoyang Palace, so they informed the empress in advance, lest the empress be plotted against by Concubine Xue."

"Exploring Zhaoyang Palace at night?" Shen Qingyi frowned slightly, this Yulian was too reckless, "Concubine Xue has General Tang as her brother after all, Zhaoyang Palace's guards are very skilled, don't Yulian Have you been caught?"

"The servant is also worried about this. It's not important that something happened to Yu Lian, but I'm afraid it will involve the Ningsu Palace." Yu He said with some concern.Shen Qingyi is pregnant now, her emotions are extremely unstable, if there are people from Zhaoyang Palace who make troubles again, and she is so angry every day, her body may not be able to bear it!
Shen Qingyi was a little unconcerned, Tang Aoxue's scheming was really not enough compared to Shen Qingwan back then, she was not strong enough to plot against her.

"You first accept the greetings from the concubines with this palace, and then go to Qiankun Palace to find General Tang. If Yu Lian is really detained by people from Zhaoyang Palace, then General Tang can bring her back." Tang Aoxue will always give Tang Zihan face.

Yu He nodded, and helped Shen Qingyi to go to the front hall, and when she walked to the eight glass screens with auspicious peonies, Shen Qingyi suddenly stopped.Although the voice from the front hall was lowered, it was still heard clearly in Shen Qingyi's ears.

"Hey, have you heard that the emperor stayed in Zhaoyang Palace the night before yesterday and asked for water twice, this has never happened before!"

"I've heard, I've heard, not only that, the emperor has not set foot in the Ningsu Palace since the eve before. Do you think this means that we have a chance? The empress is pregnant now, and the imperial physicians take turns I'm on duty, I'm afraid there's something wrong, the emperor won't be able to bear the pregnancy for so long!"

"Let me tell you, don't think about any of you. Even if the empress is inconvenient, there are still imperial concubine Duanjing and concubine Xue. Now what we should think about is whether to favor empress Xue or imperial concubine Duanjing. The emperor treats them The two always get bored, if you want to be a firm favorite, you have to be accompanied by a few new people, this time is the time when the Duanjing Imperial Concubine and Concubine Xue are short of people around, shall we..."

The solemn voice of the imperial concubine Duanjing interrupted the whispers of several people, "You guys have reminded me that this harem has not had a draft girl for three years, and the emperor really lacks some fresh people around him!" Mi Yurou entered the palace and glanced at the concubines, they all have been in the palace for a few years, do you still feel that she is new?Even if she and Tang Aoxue want to win over someone, they will be new concubines, and they will definitely not choose among these people.

Everyone respectfully saluted Mi Yurou, a sixth-rank nobleman wearing a lake-green cross-collared skirt, timidly asked: "Imperial Concubine, didn't the Emperor say that this year's draft will be exempted? Why are you so good-looking? brought this up?"

Mi Yurou's words undoubtedly stirred up thousands of waves with one stone, making all the concubines in the palace want to cry without tears. After entering the palace for several years, it is easy to have a hope, is it about to be replaced by a newcomer?
Mi Yurou adjusted the goose-yellow necklace tassels, and said dignifiedly: "At that time, the emperor was thinking about the use of the harem. Now the empress is pregnant. As a concubine, I have to think about the emperor and the emperor's heirs." .”

Mi Yurou is a standard virtuous person, but it doesn't mean that she is stupid, rushing to give a woman to her husband's bed, she knows Li Tianyou too well, at this time, Li Tianyou will not create trouble for Shen Qingyi no matter what, It's just that she is in charge of the general affairs of the six palaces, and the etiquette should not be wrong. Li Tianyou can choose not to choose a beautiful girl, but she can't help mentioning this suggestion, and she doesn't mention it. That's her dereliction of duty.

After hearing this, the concubines didn't dare to talk anymore, fearing that they would never get Li Tianyou's favor again in their whole life.Originally, they didn't see Li Tianyou's face every other day. They always dressed up carefully and came to Ningsu Palace, hoping to run into Li Tianyou and win his favor, but they all made the wrong wishful thinking, let alone Li Tianyou. If you don't fall in love with them, even if you really fall in love with them, you will never fall in love with them in Ningsu Palace. With Shen Qingyi as a beautiful woman, how could Li Tianyou be distracted to look at them!
Shen Qingyi heard that the front hall was quiet, and then turned out from behind the screen.

Everyone looked up and saw the Ruyi auspicious makeup satin with Suzhou embroidery, rolled with white fox fur, and the silver-red pinched waist jacket with narrow sleeves and slanted lapels, embroidered with big and rich begonias, and six snow-forged Linghua skirts. Dressed in finely divided colored glaze beads, it formed a light yellow crescent moon shape, even such homely clothes, if worn on Shen Qingyi's body, she would also look like a woman.

All the concubines greeted Shen Qingyi, then lowered their heads and stopped talking. With Shen Qingyi's appearance, wearing court attire, as bright as the morning sun, and homely clothes, as charming as the bright moon, there is no place for them to stand .

There is another reason why all the concubines are silent, and that is Shen Qingyi's complexion, which is as cold as ice, which shows that someone is going to suffer again today, and no one will touch Shen Qingyi's bad luck at this time, just gossip Those concubines have already regretted their intestines. It must be that the lard has deceived their hearts. How could they think of discussing this in the Lingsu Palace? Isn't this intentional to find fault for themselves?
Shen Qingyi was holding a Ru kiln teacup with a white porcelain bottom painted with peony flowers, lightly sipped the plum juice, suppressed the discomfort in her stomach, and glanced coldly at the concubines present, seeing the imperial concubine Duanjing Next, Concubine Xue's rose wreath chair was empty in Shanghai, and her brows were furrowed more and more.

"The turbidity in the early morning is so heavy!" Shen Qingyi put down the bowl, and said softly: "Yu He, go and see which concubines have not bathed in incense recently, and have dirty my Ningsu Palace? "

Yu He responded in a low voice, turned to the front of the hall, and clicked casually, pointing out the three concubines who were gossiping just now, and everyone could clearly see that Shen Qingyi had heard what the three of them had said. Immediately, they were silent like cicadas, not daring to say another word.

Shen Qingyi didn't even raise her eyelids, she just looked at the gold-plated armor inlaid with purple grape beads on her little finger, and said calmly: "Since you don't care about yourself so much, you should all go to the clothing bureau and stay well. Huanyiju washes clothes, and also washes itself, especially those stinky mouths!"

"The empress is so temperamental today!" Tang Aoxue's voice was mixed with the snow outside the hall, and floated into the hall clearly.
