Queen's scheming

Chapter 46 King Che ([-])

"Why is it you?" King Che stared at the man in front of him in surprise.

The person under the red gauze rolled down from the Arhat's bed tremblingly, crying, "The servant didn't do it on purpose, the empress ordered the servant to come, and the empress asked the servant to tell the lord that it is against the rules for the concubine to go out of the palace to the lord's mansion, so Ma'am won't come."

The person under the red veil is none other than Jingrong, the second-class maid of Ningsu Palace, whom King Che tried his best to buy.Ever since Shen Qingyi read the details of King Che's entry into the palace recorded by Xiao Anzi, and saw that King Che held many banquets near the Ningsu Palace, she became suspicious and asked Yulian, Yuhe, Zhang Yang and others to pay attention to the relationship with Che in the palace. Wang Guo had a close relationship with people, so this investigation led to Jing Rong.

A second-class court lady would go to the imperial garden from time to time, falsely claiming to pick flowers for Shen Qingyi, which was suspicious no matter how you looked at it.So Shen Qingyi deliberately expressed dissatisfaction with the food prepared by King Che during her stay in the hunting garden. King Che really passed on the message to Jing Rong, and Jing Rong began to carefully inquire about Shen Qingyi's favorite food with Yu Lian, Yu He and others. .

King Che was furious, and lifted Jing Rong's collar, did this Shen Qingyi play her like a monkey?It turned out that she had seen through her plot long ago, and now she even sent her eyeliner to her. Hmph, as soon as King Che let go, he pushed Jing Rong to the ground.

"Tomorrow is the winter solstice, the inner palace will hold a dumpling feast, right?" King Che stared at Jing Rong coldly.

Jing Rong didn't know what King Che wanted to do, so he just nodded blankly.

"The empress dowager, the dowager concubine, the emperor and concubines will all be present, right?" King Che said with narrowed eyes.

Jing Rong didn't dare to be negligent, for fear of making King Che angry by taking a step too late, he quickly replied, "Yes, because it's a family banquet, so the royal family will be present."

"Okay! The more people, the better. Since I want to play, I want to play big. I want to see how Shen Qingyi will turn around this time." King Che stared in the direction of the palace, and said coldly, "Shen Qingyi, Don't blame this king for not being sympathetic, who made you so ignorant of good and bad."

The winter solstice family banquet, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, everyone present is pushing cups and changing cups, it is very lively.

King Che smiled and took the wine cup, and toasted the queen mother, the concubine and others.Then, as if drunk, he muttered, swayed and bowed to Li Tianyou, "Brother Emperor, I have something to say. It's really sad to hold back my brother if I don't say it!"

Li Tianyou was holding Shen Qingyi's hand at this time, and gently wiped the corners of Shen Qingyi's wine-stained lips with his hand. Hearing King Che's words, he smiled at Shen Qingyi and said, "King Che has something to say. , My brother, why are you being polite?"

"It's really hard for me to say, let the palace maid speak." After King Che finished speaking, he waved his hand, and Jing Rong was brought up by two guards.

All the people in the hall fell silent. They didn't know what King Che was going to do. Everyone was enjoying themselves, so they asked the guards with swords to bring a maid to do it.

Only Shen Qingwan seemed to have discovered some shocking secret, and exclaimed, "Empress Empress, isn't this Jingrong, the second-class maid of your Ningsu Palace?"

Shen Qingyi glanced at Shen Qingwan lightly, that penetrating gaze seemed to drill a hole in Shen Qingwan's body, she smiled slightly and said, "Shen Jieyu has such a good memory, I almost didn't recognize it, but you do." clear."

Shen Qingwan suddenly felt that everyone in the hall was looking at her, and she also felt that she was a little too anxious, so she quickly covered up and said, "When the concubine greeted the empress, she served tea to the concubine a few times. , so remember."

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and smiled, and looked at Yuhe behind her, "Is this the maid of our Ningsu Palace?" She is the queen, but she doesn't have the time and energy to remember the appearance of the maids in the entire palace, she just needs to remember the one around her. It's enough to wait for the maid, and someone else will take care of the rest.As soon as Shen Qingwan opened her mouth to know a second-class court lady, she was already out of face, and only those below the third-rank master would remember it, because the number of people serving her was limited.

Yuhe looked up, quickly lowered her head, and said calmly, "If you go back to the empress, this person is Jingrong, the second-class maid of our Ningsu Palace. She disappeared last night, but it's easy to find for slaves. I didn't expect to be caught by Lord Che."

King Che didn't have time to play this kind of confusing game with Shen Qingyi, so he directly interrupted, "Why does the emperor's wife pretend not to know her? Doesn't the emperor's wife remember that she sent a maid to my palace last night?"

Shen Qingyi nodded lightly, and asked doubtfully, "What is there to pretend in this palace? It is not a crime not to know the second-class maids in my palace. The Ningsu Palace in my palace serves so many palace people. Could it be that this palace is still Want to remember them all?"

The queen mother, the concubine and the others also nodded. They also didn't remember the second-class maid beside them, which was really nothing.

Concubine Rui has always been a law-abiding person, frowning, she gave King Che a dissatisfied look, and said lightly, "Che'er, don't be rude to your sister-in-law, why don't you quickly apologize to your sister-in-law!"

"Don't worry, Grand Concubine Rui, as long as you hear it, I will never apologize to such a shameless woman." King Che looked at Shen Qingyi with hatred, hum, how dare he let his pigeons go , Let her know how powerful it is now.

"Che'er, you!" Dowager Rui was so frightened by Lord Che's words that her legs went limp, and she almost slipped down on the nanmu eight-treasure lotus stool.

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager's loving expression immediately became fierce. In front of so many concubines, concubines and members of the royal family, Prince Che dared to comment on his own daughter-in-law like this.

The Empress Dowager's eyes narrowed slightly. Years of experience in harem battles made her instantly aware of Shen Qingyi's calmness, the kind of calmness that is sure to win, it seems that she doesn't need to make a move by herself. Said, "We are all old, if there is anything, let the young people toss about it."

Concubine Rui dotes on King Che too much, and many times the queen mother can't look down on her, but because of Concubine Rui's respectful and careful attitude in serving her in the palace, if the queen dowager scolds King Che too much, it seems that she can't tolerate her Yes, mother and son, it's good to use Shen Qingyi's hand to teach King Che some lessons.

With the Queen Mother's words, King Che received an amnesty order, looked at Shen Qingyi provocatively and said, "The Empress has not answered my brother's words, Madam, did you send a maid to my Palace of Prince Che yesterday?"

King Che thought, no matter how Shen Qingyi answered, she would fall into his trap.If she had indeed been sent, her charges would be confirmed; if Shen Qingyi did not admit it, she would be lying, and when all the truth came to light, she would be guilty of a guilty conscience.He wanted to see how Shen Qingyi would choose.

"Of course there are." Shen Qingyi said disapprovingly, "Could it be that the one who was sent here was this scene?" Shen Qingyi turned around and looked at Yuhe and asked.

"It's Jingrong. Because the slaves are preparing for today's family banquet, they couldn't move their hands for a while, so they went to Jingrong." Yu He replied with a blank expression.

Shen Qingyi smiled indifferently, and said gently, "Could it be that this maid in this palace doesn't know the rules and angered Prince Che? If that's the case, I would like to ask Lord Che to give me a hand. She is a second-class court lady, and she just sweeps the palace every other day. , didn’t do anything real, and offended King Che, don’t be offended.”

King Che regarded this as Shen Qingyi's begging for mercy, and proudly said, "Since the empress has admitted, this king will also save you a bit of face, and it won't be too late after the banquet is over."

Yu He was behind Shen Qingyi, and when she saw King Che's frightened appearance, she wished she could give him a few knives right away.

Shen Qingyi's tone became colder, "Prince Che has something to say, it's better to make it clear in front of our royal family and all the concubines, but it's just a little maid who did something wrong, and Lord Che actually said that this palace has no shame. Gong Ke can't afford it, Prince Che had better think clearly before speaking, even your prince can't insult Empress Dali at will."

"You!" King Che's beautiful phoenix eyes were narrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Since the emperor's sister-in-law wants to tell my younger brother, I will not be polite to you. Don't regret it." King Che's eyes were dark. After sweeping over Shen Qingyi, he was still a little bit reluctant to ask him to destroy the flower with his hands, who made Shen Qingyi rush so hard.

"Tell me, what did the sister-in-law ask you to go to my Prince Che's mansion yesterday?" King Che said without looking at Jing Rong, staring at Shen Qingyi with a smile, pointing at Jing Rong.

"Responding to Prince Che's words, the empress ordered the servants to bring you a message. It is against the rules for concubines to go out of the palace at night, so the empress will not go to the banquet." After Jing Rong finished speaking, she looked up at Shen Qingyi, gritted her teeth and continued, " In addition, I want my servant to hand you a letter."

"What was written in the letter?" King Che asked.Shen Qingyi, this king wants to see how you can survive tonight safely.
