Food, Color, Medicine and Fragrance: Ugly Girl Turns Over

Chapter 224 The Empress
When Concubine Hua came here with a little tabby cat in her arms, she couldn't help but sigh a little. The house of the ruthless emperor is the most. Now the three thousand favors in the harem are all occupied by Concubine Jing. One day in the future, other concubines may be as lonely as the queen For the rest of my life, I finally ended up with a result of tea cooling and heart breaking.

Concubine Hua gritted her teeth tightly. If her parents hadn't used various means to force her into the palace, she might still be able to pursue her own happiness, but her good youth would have to be spent facing a bad old man and begging for compromise. The flattery made her feel sick. If she hadn't met King Jing later, her life would still be dark, as if she couldn't see a ray of sunshine in the mud. With King Jing, her life would be polished and sustenance. So what if he became a chess piece?As long as he is happy, let her do anything.

The vermilion-colored gate of Yehua Palace was glowing in the night, and the maid of honor stood at the gate and looked at the front very seriously.

Concubine Hua has calculated the time, and it will be time to change shifts in a short time. Sure enough, a palace maid opened the door and was about to come out. As if she understood, she quickly slipped in through the gap in the door at the servant girl's feet.

"Oops, my cat!"

Concubine Hua cried out, and ran over in small steps, with an anxious expression on her face.

The palace lady guarding the door seemed very calm. Seeing her, she first saluted and said, "Is the little master's cat the one that ran in just now?"

"Exactly."

"Please wait a moment, my lord, and this servant will catch it for you."

The palace gate was closed, as if to cover up something.

Concubine Hua didn't see anything, and for a moment, the maid apologized empty-handed: "I don't know where the kitten has gone, but it can't run far, why don't you ask the master to report the name of the palace, and a servant will send it to you tomorrow." Go to the little lord's palace?"

Even a palace maid who guards the gate speaks so decently without saying a word, which makes Concubine Hua even more curious about what kind of person the queen is.

She twitched her nose, and her eyes were reddish, as if she was about to cry: "I'm afraid I can't, I'm timid, I have to hold it to sleep at night, please open the door and let me go in and find it by myself, kittens like to drill holes the most." , He will definitely come out when he hears my voice, but you can rest assured that I am just looking for the cat gently and will definitely not disturb the empress."

The palace maid hesitated for a while, and said: "How about this, I will ask the Empress Empress for instructions, and then come in if the young master agrees."

The palace lady went in and soon brought good news to Concubine Hua and asked her to go in to find the cat, but she couldn't make any loud noises.

Concubine Hua responded lightly, then lifted her skirt and went in.

Walking into the Yehua Palace, you have to be shocked by its magnificent architectural style. Fortunately, it is the queen's bedroom. Looking at the entire palace, only the emperor's Yuhua Palace is better than here.

Concubine Hua tried to call out her cat by meowing a few times, but she stooped down and looked for the cat in a serious manner, but her steps were getting closer and closer to the main hall.

Just when she was close to the door of the main hall, suddenly a maid came and stopped her: "My lord, please stay."

Concubine Hua was a little embarrassed, and apologized: "I just wanted to find the cat and had no other intentions, sorry."

The maid smiled and did not answer.

There are lights in the main hall, and there are very soft chanting sounds.

It seems that the rumor that the imperial concubine believes in Buddhism and recites scriptures every day is true.

Concubine Hua could only turn around and go down the steps, and when she got down to the second floor, she had a thought, deliberately tilted her foot, and screamed.

Her voice was so loud that it almost covered the entire Yehua Palace.

The surrounding maids quickly came over to check on her injuries. Her ankle was sprained, and it swelled up in an instant, and it hurt her heart when she touched it.

Concubine Hua started crying on purpose, sobbing pitifully.

"The servant will help the young master to rest for a while, the imperial doctor will arrive soon."

A court lady went to invite the imperial physician, and Lin Xiaorou was struggling with the support of a court lady.

With a creak, suddenly the door of the main hall opened.

An old woman with a graceful temperament and majestic eyebrows and eyes came out with a mellow voice: "Why are you so noisy?"

Could this be the queen?

"Mother Li, I don't know which palace's young master came to look for the cat. I didn't want to but sprained my foot and had to wait for the imperial doctor to come to fix my foot before I can leave."

It turned out to be just a nanny, but just a nanny looks so powerful, I don't know what the queen will be like.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb the queen's purity." Concubine Hua looked painful with pear blossoms and rain.

Nanny Li glanced at her with sharp eyes.

At this moment, she suddenly turned her head, as if someone inside was talking to her and she was listening attentively, and soon Mammy Li turned her head to look at Concubine Hua again.

"Come in first, it's windy outside, wait until the imperial doctor arrives before leaving."

Concubine Hua was delighted, everything went very smoothly today.

Carefully helped him into the main hall, and when he looked up, what caught his eyes was not any expensive furniture, but a small Buddhist hall, where the merciful and compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva was enshrined. The main hall is brightly illuminated by a few large candles, and the Buddha incense in the incense burner is sandalwood-scented, which can be smelled everywhere.

There were not many people in the main hall, except for Nanny Li and Concubine Fuhua, there was only an old woman kneeling on the futon and praying devoutly.

"I'm really sorry that the concubine came to disturb the empress late at night, and I ask the empress to forgive me."

Concubine Hua was preconceived and apologized to the queen.

The queen turned a deaf ear to it, recited a scripture and kowtowed to the Bodhisattva three times before getting up.

Nanny Li at the side carefully supported her to stand up slowly.

"Which palace are you from?"

The queen's voice is very slight and soft, like fine wine that has been placed for many years, it is very comfortable to listen to.

"Go back to your mother, I belong to Biyunxuan."

The Empress turned around, Concubine Hua looked at her a little surprised, she did not expect the Empress to be so quiet and elegant, and her kind face was no different from that of an ordinary kind-hearted old woman.

The emperor is old, and the queen is not young either, but her temperament is still very good.

The queen sat on the mahogany chair opposite Concubine Hua, and soon a maid brought a hurried wet handkerchief to wipe her hands.

After wiping her hands, a cup of tea was brought to her, but she didn't drink it. Instead, she looked at Concubine Hua with a smile and said, "How is everything in the harem now? Many of the sisters have given birth to children after many years of mourning."

Concubine Hua sighed a little, how much endurance it takes for a queen to say these words calmly, the harem competition has always been bloody, if she hadn't always been forbearing, she didn't know how it would end.

It is not that there are no concubines who died in vain in the harem, and the emperor will not be sad for too long, because there will always be fresh blood to refill the harem.

As a queen, she not only has to endure her husband's new love every night, but also has to forcefully smile and maintain the peace of the harem and the rain and dew.

I don't know why the queen avoids living in Yehua Palace and prays to Buddha every day. Maybe her heart is dead or she used another way to gain peace of mind after experiencing the bloody storm.

Concubine Hua sighed, tears streaming down before she could say anything.

"Empress, my concubine dare not answer your question."

"Oh, why?"

Concubine Hua bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes met the empress's. For some reason, the empress's eyes were very gentle, which made people feel at ease for no reason.

"Chen Qie, Chen Qie is no better than a cat living in this harem now."

As soon as these words came out, several people were shocked, but the queen smiled slightly and said: "Speak slowly, don't be sad."

"Yes." Concubine Hua wiped her tears and sobbed, "The concubine dared to say something desperate. Although the harem is still dominated by the empress, in fact it is the concubine Jing who makes the decisions. Not only does she defraud everyone The young master’s salary, and wantonly disregarding human life to occupy the emperor to be favored alone, now, the concubine can only be with the cat as a companion, otherwise, he will definitely not be able to bear this pain."

I thought the queen would slap the table when she heard this, but unexpectedly she just smiled lightly and took a sip from the teacup and said, "Oh? There's also this matter."

Concubine Hua was a little stunned, the queen didn't have the reaction she expected, could it be that the queen really had lost all love and hatred for the emperor.

"Empress, what the concubine said is true, if the concubine didn't ask, the concubine would not dare to lie."

The queen put down the teacup, hummed, stood up and bowed to the Bodhisattva three times with clasped hands together, then turned around and said, "The Lingtai is clean, quietness can produce wisdom, and wisdom can produce wisdom. It's just that you can't let go of your heart if you are disturbed." Be persistent!"

Concubine Hua's heart sank, and she had an intuition that the queen's path might not work, and she felt a little indescribably disappointed.

It just so happened that the imperial physician came, and I heard that the speed in the Queen's Palace was much faster. The imperial physician entered the palace and performed a standard gift to the Empress before showing Concubine Hua's feet. It was only a small sprain just now and the time was short, so it was not too much. Seriously, the imperial doctor wiped some medicinal wine and twisted skillfully, only to hear a click, and the foot recovered.

"I also ask Empress Hua to go down to the ground and take two steps!"

Concubine Hua got up and walked a few steps, and the pain was gone.

Seeing that Concubine Hua was all right, the imperial physician withdrew, and the queen silently recited Buddhist scriptures facing the altar, as if she was in a trance, motionless.

Concubine Hua knew that this was the intention of rejecting guests, so she blessed her body and slowly left Yehua Palace. When she went outside, she meowed twice, one long and one short, and a cat came out of nowhere very quickly. Jumped off the wall and got into her hands.

In the Yehua Palace, the queen finally finished reading the last line of Buddhist scriptures, folded her hands together and worshiped, and then opened her eyes. The originally warm eyes became deep and sharp.

"Mother Li, how does this Biyunxuan look to you?"

"Back to the queen, I feel that this concubine Hua seems weak but actually has a clever mind."

"Looking for cats is fake, and looking for Aijia is true, but what kind of person is this concubine Jing who can make the emperor favor the harem alone."

Nanny Li sighed, and said helplessly: "My family also knows some of these things, but the Queen Qingxiu, my family dare not disturb the pure Buddha heart of your empress."

"Since everyone has been found, we might as well just talk about it."
