Emperor's Lazy Queen

Chapter 56

Doctor Hu? !take note of it!Nodding slightly, she inadvertently saw the girl next to Li Qianrou's expression change slightly when Li Qianrou mentioned the word 'Hu Taiyi', and then regained her composure in a blink of an eye. "Okay, I guess my sister is also tired, so I won't disturb my sister's rest, and go back to Zhaoyang Palace first." Du Xiaoyue stood up and said with a smile.

"That little sister won't keep my sister anymore." Li Qianrou also stood up immediately, and blessed Du Xiaoyue, "Send off the empress."

After sending Du Xiaoyue away, Li Qianrou's maid, Xiaomei, finally didn't have to hold back her words: "Mother, how could you speak out about Imperial Doctor Hu! Don't you be afraid..."

"Mei'er, I have my own plans! You don't have to worry about anything!" Li Qianrou watched Du Xiaoyue disappear into Jiaoyin Pavilion with the group of palace people, with her soft and beautiful image unabated, but with a bit more hostility. Step down, without the imperial edict, you are not allowed to enter without permission! Meier, open the red satin!"

Xiaomei took the order, and she couldn't bear the curiosity anymore, she wanted to see what the queen gave, it was so mysterious!But when the red satin was opened, Xiaomei's face paled immediately, and she screamed "Ah!" Then she quickly covered the red satin with a blushing neck.

Hearing Xiaomei's scream, Li Qianrou turned around and asked the blushing Xiaomei: "What's wrong? Is it something shameful?"

"Yes..." Xiaomei replied weakly, and tried her best to straighten her face, "Your Majesty, it's better not to look at it! Let the servant take this thing and burn it!"

"Wait!" Li Qianrou smiled sweetly, a bit charming, a bit enchanting, "Hmph, I've heard that Zhaoyang Palace has private collections of forbidden books, but the people in Zhaoyang Palace are very tight-knit, and nothing can be found out. This time, she delivered it to the door herself!"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean..." Xiaomei had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood Li Qianrou's intentions, "But Miss, why are you dealing with the Empress? Since she entered the palace, she has not been favored. Look at her point Beauty, she will be deposed sooner or later! Right now, you and Tong Niangniang are pregnant with dragon seeds at the same time, what you have to worry about now is whether Tong Niangniang will give birth to a dragon son!"

"You don't understand!" Li Qianrou sat on the right seat, stroked the red satin with one hand, and looked at the rewards in the room, "The empress dowager handed over the real power of the harem to Du Xiaoyue, and the emperor did not object. Think about it, what does this mean?" What? During these days, I heard that the emperor often went to Zhaoyang Palace to sit, and also summoned Du Xiaoyue to the imperial study——Among the concubines in the harem, except for Du Xiaoyue, which one has entered the imperial study?"

"No one!" Xiaomei replied honestly. Once when Concubine Li Gui went to the imperial study to look for the emperor, she was turned away. Zhonggong.

"Did you listen to what she said today? She said that she came on behalf of the emperor!" Li Qianrou continued, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand, as if she wanted to wring water out of it. Angry, "What is she?! A queen in name only dares to say that she represents the emperor!"

"Sister looks so good!" Suddenly, Tong Ruyan's voice sounded, and then Tong Ruyan in a purple dress came in with her maids. At the same time, Li Qianrou's deacon and eunuch also knelt aside, saying : "My lady, please forgive me, the child emperor's noble concubine insists on coming in..."

"Okay, let's go!" Li Qianrou didn't show a trace of impatience or discomfort, but stood up with a smile on her face, "Imperial Concubine is so excited, what wind brought you to Jiaoyin Pavilion?"

"I heard that my sister was sick and alarmed the emperor. As a younger sister, no matter what, I have to come and see you in person!" Tong Ruyan also replied with a smile, while silently scanning the room full of rewards. , "Well, it seems that my sister has gained a lot! But, so what if there are many rewards? The emperor still hasn't come to Jiaoyin Pavilion!"

"So what if you didn't come? It's better than someone who didn't even get the grass!" Li Qianrou replied, smiling undiminished, "Imperial Concubine, you don't have to go to the Three Treasures Palace, just tell me what you want here Bar!"

"My sister is too far-fetched!" Tong Ruyan chuckled, "No matter what, we are also sisters! What do you mean if you have nothing to do! But, since my sister is not in good health, I think she is not in a good mood , then my sister will tell an anecdote to amuse my sister!" Without waiting for Li Qianrou to answer affirmatively, Tong Ruyan sat down by herself and said to her parents, "I heard an interesting rumor this morning, saying that The emperor took a court lady back to Qianqing Palace at a place more than a hundred steps away from Zhaoyang Palace, and then stayed alone in the same room with the court lady for nearly an hour, and afterward, after having dinner with the court lady, he sent someone to use it. The soft sedan chair sent the court lady directly back to Zhaoyang Palace. After hearing this, I thought, which court lady from Zhaoyang Palace has such a charm that the emperor personally carried her back to Qianqing Palace!"

"Hmph, how can you believe the rumors of the palace people? The emperor is busy with state affairs every day, how can he do such a ridiculous thing?" Although he was puzzled in his heart, Li Qianrou still looked indifferent on the surface, and said casually, "There is no truth. Based on the evidence, this kind of talk can’t be said indiscriminately, sister, be careful to bring disaster!” Although the emperor has more than twenty concubines, there are only three or five who are really favored, and the rest of the concubines only see each other once a year. Don't touch the emperor once!From this point of view, the emperor was not a very indulgent person, so how could he randomly grab a court lady and bring them back to the Qianqing Palace?

Tong Ruyan ignored Li Qianrou's words, and continued to say with a smile: "I thought so too, but I heard rumors that some court ladies and eunuchs said that the court lady and the empress looked very similar, and the emperor took away the palace maid The queen dressed in court clothes went to Qianqing Palace, and later had dinner with the queen in court clothes, and later, the emperor personally sent the queen in court clothes back to Zhaoyang Palace! During the period, the two were very intimate, talking and laughing .”

"What does this have to do with me?" Li Qianrou raised her eyebrows lightly, "So what if the maid is the queen? What do you mean by telling me? Besides, you said all these are rumors, who can prove it?" Tong Ru Yan suddenly came to say such a thing, there must be some kind of conspiracy!
"Since my sister asks this question, then my sister can just say it straight!" Tong Ruyan clarified her words, and at the same time signaled all the palace people on the side to retreat, and continued talking when only the two of them were left in the room. "I want you to join hands with me to get rid of Du Xiaoyue!"

"Why should I agree to your request?" Li Qianrou said carelessly, "What good will it do me?"

"Didn't you realize that Du Xiaoyue is now more and more favored by the emperor? When she first entered the palace, the queen mother treated her differently; now that the queen mother has left, the emperor suddenly has a different view of her, not only Recognize her power in the harem, and even recognize Du Xiaoyue a little bit!" Tong Ruyan analyzed slowly, and at the same time paid attention to every change in Li Qianrou's expression, "Didn't you notice that the emperor's eyes are being captured by Du Xiaoyue's eyes?" Attracted? The emperor will let her enter the Imperial Study Room and the Qianqing Palace, what about you? What about me? What about the other concubines? Who has received such an honor?"

"So what?" Li Qianrou chuckled softly, sarcastically, "The emperor can pet whomever he wants, so what can we do? Even if you are fighting to the death here, the emperor never gave us a straight look! It seems that a person who fights for nothing ends up gaining nothing!"

"Finally?" Tong Ruyan sneered, "I have a big secret of hers in my hands. If I tell the emperor that secret, not only will she lose her position, but she will definitely be thrown into limbo!"

"Then go tell the emperor! What are you doing here?" Li Qianrou also sneered, "Could it be that you still want to borrow a knife to kill someone?"

"Hehe, what did my sister say!" Tong Ruyan immediately changed her smile, with a bit of flattery, "I also suffer from no evidence for this secret, so naturally, I want to ask my sister for help, and then we will join hands ..." Yin Ruyan leaned close to Li Qianrou's ear, whispering like this...

After returning to Zhaoyang Palace, Du Xiaoyue immediately climbed onto her favorite bed, leaned on the cushion, took a Fengyue novel, opened the first page, and shouted: "Qingzhu, come here and be honest with me!" explain!"

"Miss, what do you want me to explain?" Qing Zhu, who was tidying up Du Xiaoyue's closet, heard Du Xiaoyue's loud call, her face turned pale immediately, her footsteps did not move, and she replied after a while.

"Tell me this!" Du Xiaoyue raised the book in her hand and asked with a smile, "When did you buy this book? Why don't I know? I've finished reading the book you brought back last time. Have you never been out of the palace yet? Tell me honestly, did you hide this book?" Hou, you dare to hide the book privately. Didn't it be agreed at the beginning that they read books too slowly, so when the new book was just bought, You have to read it yourself before giving it to them!
Although Du Xiaoyue was asking questions with a smile at this time, Qingzhu only felt a gust of cool wind blowing behind him, and couldn't help shivering, turned around, and smiled at Du Xiaoyue: "Miss, what happened yesterday, I saw that I had finished reading all the novels here, and I was bored when I was idle, so I went out of the palace on my own initiative and brought back some new Fengyue novels. The one in the lady's hand is the latest one this month. But I haven't seen it!"

"Ha, dear Qingzhu, you are really my caring warm clothes!" Du Xiaoyue said happily, "I know your lady has no books to read, so I went to replenish the supply immediately, so good! How about it, yesterday You can pick two of the newly bought books, and give them to me after you finish reading them!"
