Rebirth of the drama: Ben Gong just wants to be salted fish

Chapter 55
She looked up at the sky, the fleeting feeling of loneliness in her heart just now clearly did not belong to her, could it be the original owner?

"Is the Empress serious?" The expression on Zhuang Wanshen's face changed again, and in his star-like eyes, Rong Jiao saw purity and worry.

"Is Young Master Zhuang worried about me?"

He nodded unabashedly: "The empress does not preside over the affairs of the six palaces, but she is trying to choose a concubine for the emperor. I'm afraid it will make some people feel unhappy."

"Xie Jinshi, right?" She didn't want to blurt out the name of the heroine in the book.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Wanshen nodded: "Sure enough, the empress understands the general situation, but if she offends Diji, I'm afraid she will have trouble with you. You two are at odds with each other, and even the empress is not her opponent. This is terrible. What should I do?"

"If Bengong said that all of this was calculated by others, would you believe it? I just started pressing the matter of choosing a concubine, and later it was brought up by Concubine De in front of the emperor. In desperation, I had no choice but to admit it, and then the emperor started the matter." The selection of concubines, from the beginning to the end, I have never been involved in one thing, but I don't know who has such a kind heart, and put all the 'credit' on my head."

She smiled bitterly, with bitterness in her eyes: "I know that Young Master Zhuang has a very good relationship with my elder brother, so I would ask Young Master to bring him a message after leaving the palace, and tell him that everything is fine in this palace, don't worry about it."

"The empress didn't find her out of genuine troubles. Since that's the case, it's better to make a mistake and take care of the matter of concubine selection for the emperor. Maybe she will win the emperor's favor. Wouldn't it be more beautiful if there is consensual love between two parties and a deep love between husband and wife? "

When Zhuang Wanshen said these words, he tightly clutched the long gown by his side, and the words against his will caused a little pain in his eyes.

Suddenly Rong Jiao's face changed drastically, she tilted her head, and the smile on her face was full of sarcasm: "The emperor has a lot of affairs in his daily life and has three palaces and six courtyards, so how can he care about me, an old man? Back then, the emperor punished me because of a little maid next to Concubine Shen. Bengong, at that time, the relationship between me and him was probably only a thin layer. When the newcomer enters the palace in the future, it is unknown how long the false empress will stay. It is said that he has a deep affection with the emperor and his wife. This palace is just listening to a joke."

"Could it be that the empress is to the emperor..."

Rong Jiao smiled and said nothing, people in ancient times liked to play tricks, and they liked to pick and choose words even more than modern people, so let him guess.

There was a gleam of joy in Zhuang Wanshen's eyes, and after he had already said that, the relationship between husband and wife with the emperor would not be too deep. In the past, when he had to carefully inquire about the news in the palace, it was reported that the emperor and the empress were at odds. He was overjoyed to hear the queen say that personally, but felt incredible.

The queen has been domineering since she was a child. If she really didn't like the emperor, how could she marry him?Even if it is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, it will not struggle if it is placed on the girl next to it, but if it is placed on the queen, it will overturn the sky, how can you care about those restraining etiquette?
The two walked and talked and stood by the lake, Rong Jiao didn't walk away or move, just quietly waiting.

Not long after, Zhuang Wanshen put away all his expressions and turned serious.

"The empress is afraid that someone is coming to see you, do you want to avoid it?"

Rong Jiao raised her eyebrows: "The relationship between Ben Gong and Mr. Zhuang is innocent, why do you avoid it? If you really avoid it, you will be full of suspicion, maybe you will be slandered that Ben Gong is having a private meeting with your lover?"

Sure enough, the emperor rushed over aggressively, accompanied by a few women. Looking carefully at the clothes, he must be another concubine.

Rong Jiao put her hand on her forehead helplessly, sure enough, all the concubines in the palace have joined hands to deal with her!

"Rong Jiao, what are you doing?" Gao Yin was discussing with the prime minister when he heard someone report that the empress was having a private meeting with her lover, how could he sit still on such a big matter?

When he saw that the man was Zhuang Wanshen, he became even more furious.

"Chen and concubine see the emperor."

"The grassroots see the emperor."

"What are you two doing here?"

Rong Jiao broke up with the emperor that time, so naturally she didn't want to talk nonsense with him at this time, but if she was angry, she was angry, and when she was at odds, she was at odds. At this time, being slandered by others came to the fore, so she couldn't back down.

"If you go back to the emperor, the concubine is taking a walk! Mr. Zhuang lost his way in the palace and was chased by a vicious dog into the flowers. When he appeared, he met the concubine. It happened that the emperor and the prime minister were discussing important matters, so I waited I wanted to send the person back after the emperor finished his work, but I didn't expect the emperor to come here."

Rong Jiao looked at Cuizhu who was beside the emperor, she was now the emperor's woman, dressed in bright clothes, her eyes were like a sharp knife, the knife was scraping her body.

"Your Majesty, this concubine is still your queen, but how come she doesn't salute when she sees her? Is it possible that this concubine is just a false name?"

Cuizhu hated poisoning the queen, because the queen almost died, if Concubine Shen hadn't found the emperor to stop her, she might have been beaten to death by the queen.

"Cuicai, why are you not polite when you see the queen?"

Gao Yin looked at her with very scary eyes, and you were also intimidated by the emperor, so Cui Zhu reluctantly saluted.

"Concubine, see the empress."

Obviously the emperor's favorite is Concubine Shen. Now that Concubine Shen is pregnant, the emperor will often take her by his side to accompany her. The emperor who has always hated the queen, at this time he actually came to scold her for the sake of the queen, and suddenly felt that his heart was full of grievances.

"Your Majesty, when the time comes, the concubine has something to ask. Although it is indeed inappropriate to meet outside men while walking in the harem openly, but he has not violated the law. Why do you say that the concubine has a private meeting with his lover? This is a serious crime. How can a concubine easily recite a crime?"

Looking at Cuizhu's expression, Rong Jiao was full of anger, and even complained about the emperor.

Cuizhu's complexion changed suddenly, when did the queen become so shrewd?She is obviously just an impulsive shrew, but today she speaks in an orderly manner, every sentence makes sense, and she can't find any words to refute.

"Your majesty..." Cuizhu pulled the emperor's sleeve but was ruthlessly thrown away.

"Cuicai people slandered the queen for no reason. Her behavior was bad. When she came, she was dragged out and beaten to death with sticks. The family members were made slaves and became lowly citizens."

Everyone present was stunned, and no one thought that the emperor would issue such an order.

Even Rong Jiao was caught off guard, she hadn't finished her prepared lines yet!Doesn't this give her a chance?
"The emperor is merciful, the emperor's slaves know their mistakes, please beg for the emperor's favor..." Cuizhu realized after a while, not knowing why the emperor was so angry.

Shen Yingying rushed over after hearing the news, only to see Cuizhu kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, she stopped immediately, not knowing what was going on.

"Your Majesty, what did Cuicai do wrong?"

"Concubine Shen, why are you here? Since you are pregnant with a child, you should rest your body properly. I will not let you off lightly if you are pregnant."

Shen Yingying froze in place, if it was normal, the emperor would have come up to support her by now...
