Chapter 57 Flop

"Empress, Concubine Liang is seeking to see you outside." Aunt Xin who was beside the empress said while serving the empress.

"Concubine Liang? Didn't I say that I have been feeling unwell for the past few days, so I spared the concubines from all palaces to pay their respects?"

"The maidservant also responded like this, but Concubine Liang said that she has something to tell the Empress."

"Forget it, pass it in."

When Concubine Liang came in, the Empress had just finished rinsing her mouth, she took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth. "My palace has already exempted the other palaces from paying their respects, why did Concubine Liang come here so early?"

"Returning to the empress, the concubine was worried when she heard that the empress was in a bad mood, so she came to take a look." Concubine Liang's shrewd fox-like eyes rolled around, trying to please the empress, and she chose flattering words to say , the shrewd calculation that can't be hidden in the eyebrows.

The queen lowered her head and did not look at her. She put the armor she had set aside on her fingers and smiled gently. "Don't pick up those lovely words and say, now there is no one else, just say it."

Concubine Liang was about to speak, when the eunuch of the chief inspector asked for an audience outside the palace, the queen heard that it was the chief inspector who might have something important to say, so she passed it in first.

"Slave Li Shun has seen the empress."

"Eunuch Li doesn't need to be too polite, just get up and answer."

"Empress Xie, Your Majesty has already entered the palace, and the servants have dispatched a few smart palace servants to serve you according to the Queen's orders."

"Well, I have always been at ease with Eunuch Li's work."

"I have one more thing I want to ask the empress this time, the green head card of your nobleman?"

Eunuch Li hesitated to speak, but the queen was a smart person, so she could understand what Eunuch Li meant.If this matter were put in normal times, the green head card would definitely be enshrined in front of the Holy One tonight, but this noble person has been titled before entering the palace, so he still has to ask the queen for instructions.

"The newcomer has come in, the emperor will be happy to see the newcomer."

"The slave obeys the order, and the slave will retire first."

Eunuch Li walked in, Concubine Liang didn't say anything, but she already had a look of displeasure on her face. She had just entered the palace and hadn't greeted the queen, so she presented her green head card. It's really difficult to be greedy for newcomers.

Seeing Concubine Liang's reaction, the empress asked, "Where does the honored man live?"

"Going back to Empress, Your Honor is actually Luanyue Pavilion." When Aunt Xin replied, her eyes swept over Concubine Liang.

"Why is it so remote? As a young girl, she might not be used to living in such a quiet place."

Although the Queen's tone was flat, Concubine Liang could still hear that the Queen seemed to have a hint of displeasure in it, and immediately got up and said, "If you go back to the Queen, the concubine has checked the records in the palace. It has been repaired, so I chose that place."

After hearing Concubine Liang's explanation, the Empress didn't say anything, she just stared at Concubine Liang, as if she wanted to see what Concubine Liang was really thinking.

"What kind of flowers are you going to wear today, Empress?" Aunt Xin took the flower plate brought in by the maid just now, and presented it in front of the empress.

"Just that crabapple."

When Concubine Liang heard this, she walked over slowly, picked up the branch of crabapple, and gently inserted it between the queen's temples. "The Empress always prefers peonies, why did she choose such a bright flower today?"

"Peony can be tiresome even when it is elegant and luxurious. It is better to look at such bright and Ruili flowers that are pleasing to the eye."

"The empress is just joking. The peony is the king of flowers. No matter what bright flowers are in front of the peony, they can only serve as a foil."

"Hehe, that's right, no matter what kind of flower it is, no matter how dazzling it is, it can't match the beauty of a peony." The queen smiled a little when she heard Concubine Liang's words.

"This peony is just like the empress, and all the concubines will be overshadowed in front of the empress."

"As far as you are sweet-mouthed, this palace is already old and fading, and fading is love. But people are similar to this flower, and I am not afraid of how dazzling and lovable she blooms. There are many flowers in this palace. There are countless, but there are not many branches that can keep blooming without defeat."

"The concubine would like to follow the teachings of the empress."

"Where does this palace teach you anything, it's just tasting flowers."

"Yes, the empress tastes flowers with the concubine, and the concubine has been taught."

"Now that you understand it, don't do unnecessary things anymore. If you don't want someone to catch you, you might as well not do it. I'm tired too, so you can go back."

"Chen and concubine retire."

After Concubine Liang left, the queen took off the crabapple flowers on her temples and played with them in her hands, a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Why doesn't the empress show you a good place to live? Concubine Liang is obviously deliberately letting you live so far away." Aunt Xin has been with the queen for a long time, so she naturally knows how to read her words. Didn't say it, but it's really unpleasant.

"Your Honorable Concubine Liang has played with her prestige as soon as she entered the palace. If I don't say a few words, others will think that I have been unwell for the past few days and the harem has been handed over to Concubine Liang. Not good, although Concubine Liang is jealous, but I like her jealousy, anyone in the harem can be favored by the emperor, but I will never allow one to stand out."

"The empress is worrying too much. Although the emperor seldom enters the harem, he treats the empress very well. What's more, the empress also has the crown prince and the seventh prince."

"Yes, I still have the prince and Lao Qi by my side."

The queen repeated Aunt Xin's words, but she had another consideration in her heart. It was precisely because she had a prince and Lao Qi that she would not allow any woman in the harem to be favored and give birth to children.If she had been able to calm down and think like this before, the dead Concubine Xian and Jun Qi would not have appeared.If Concubine Xian has self-knowledge and nobleman Yu is generally just a lowly servant girl, even if she has a prince, she will not be favored by the emperor, and maybe she will be able to live until now to see how she controls the harem now.

"Order, I won't see anyone in this palace today, if anyone comes, I'll send them away immediately." The empress rubbed the center of her brows with her white and delicate fingers, her face showing a bit of pain.

"Empress Empress should stop thinking about these things, nothing will damage the body of the phoenix, and this servant will help the Empress to rest."

I would like to bring only Linglong, who is always by my side, as the servants and maids who accompany you when you enter the palace.For one thing, Linglong was not a servant of her closest relative in the mansion before, so she didn't know what she was doing in the mansion.Secondly, Lingling is a good helper who is careful and careful to train her.Bringing her into the palace was not only his own intention, but also his mother's instruction.

The eunuchs in charge of Luanyue Pavilion were all dispatched from the internal supervisor, and they were not their own, so they only took up a vacant position.Naturally, Linglong would be in charge of the court ladies.As soon as she entered the palace, she was reused, so Linglong naturally did not dare to be dissatisfied with her master.

At night, the people in the respect room presented the green-headed card in front of the emperor, waiting for the emperor to turn over the card, but the emperor didn't even look up.

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen are all looking forward to the Emperor. The Emperor hasn't been to the harem for a long time." The prince in the respect room couldn't help persuading the Emperor.

"Bold, it's not up to the respect room to make decisions about my affairs."

"Hey, your majesty calm down, even if this servant has nine heads, he wouldn't dare to do that. It's just that the nobleman has just entered the palace today, so the majesty should not neglect the newcomers."

"Your Honor? Is it the daughter-in-law of Lord Shoufu's family?" The emperor used his memory to think about the nobleman Jin's appearance.

"Go back to the emperor, that's right."

"Then she is."
