Chapter 227 The Imperial Concubine Just Wants to Be the Queen Mother 16
The two looked at each other and smiled.
It is unheard of for a daughter from a down-to-earth family to be selected into the palace without anyone recommending her. And the emperor was extremely difficult to get along with. How could he have so much to communicate with such a small nobleman?
"I entered the palace for the first time back then, and I was very busy studying palace affairs, but I didn't notice this at all." The queen was a little annoyed.
"Why is this sister's responsibility? There were so many people entering the palace at once, it was impossible to check them one by one. Ye Ruqiu is good at hiding herself. Speaking of which, how many people in the palace have paid attention to her?"
She entered the palace under the guise of the Changxing Hou family. There were two palace concubines in Marquis Changxing's family at once, so naturally they would not reveal that Ye Ruqiu was not recommended by them. But who told the sisters to have a falling out today?
Just now, the queen noticed it and sent someone to the concubine's palace to make some innuendo.
Everyone in Yu's concubine's palace was complaining about their master, but it didn't take much effort to ask about some old things.
Tao Ran was disappointed: "But we managed to catch him by mistake. Mr. Qiu has quite a lot of background."
"It's true that he has a lot of background. The emperor still lost his composure for her sake."
"No, the emperor usually defends me, but today Qiu Mei is in trouble, and he has no intention of standing up for me. I, a beloved concubine who was seriously injured for him, was disobeyed, but he is not as good as a little nobleman who made a mistake .”
The queen remembered that last month, a young talented girl had an affair with the imperial concubine. The emperor kicked her out of the palace without saying a word, which made her extremely dissatisfied with the imperial concubine. She felt that the imperial concubine was the one who instigated her and was so domineering, she was simply a scum. But if you think about it carefully, that matter really has nothing to do with the imperial concubine.
Normally the two of them would argue with each other without noticing, but now, the queen felt that something was wrong in the past.
"The Emperor's five-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was wasted. Not only is he not angry, but because he is a little nobleman, he just replenished it."
"The emperor even cut off the beauties of Concubine Yu because of this one."
"The emperor was very angry when he left, but what does he have to do with today's affairs?"
The two of them talked to each other.
"Sister, I need someone to keep an eye on me in Chuxiu Palace."
"Since I have chosen Chu Xiugong to treat her, I will naturally keep an eye on her."
"Sister is always considerate."
"My sister is a good reminder."
The queen called Bai Ling again. "Didn't Mei Qiu lose two servants today? If the word goes on, Mei Qiu is not in good health, I'm afraid no one will take care of her. Call two more clever palace maids to take care of her."
"yes."
Tao Ran turned the cup in his hand, then smiled:
"Chu Xiu Palace is a good place. I also have a cousin who wants to fly high. If she begs the Queen, she might as well give her a favor."
"Pfft." The queen laughed. "Let me tell you, that noble man today seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. He kowtowed to me and said kind words to me. He also gave Bai Ling a piece of jade. It turned out that he was just a white-eyed wolf again."
"Is that okay?" Tao Ran helped Yu Tong laugh at himself. "I have always been straightforward, but in the eyes of many people I have become vicious. Even my cousin misunderstood me in this way." She let out a long sigh. "Sister also knows, how have I ever treated her badly?"
Sometimes, even your own family members may not have enemies who can see clearly.
The queen took a sip of tea. The imperial concubine is indeed used to showing off her teeth and claws, and her temper is indeed unpleasant. But Ji Rong, that idiot, who is she without the noble concubine to support her? If you eat inside and outside, you have to teach a lesson.
"If you look down on trivial matters, just throw them away. Only after you have suffered, can you be grateful."
The two clinked glasses.
Then Ye Ruqiu offended both the queen and the noble concubine and went to Chuxiu Palace. What could she gain from it? In the Chuxiu Palace, most of the people were watching what was served. After all, it didn't take the queen and the concubine to give any indication, those people would deal with her severely to please the high-ranking masters.
The same goes for Ji Rong. Since he was thrown from Yikun Palace to Chuxiu Palace, there is no good harvest...
One can imagine that the Chuxiu Palace will be lively in the coming days.
Not even halfway through the chess game, the queen's people came to report again.
She was the palace maid who followed Ye Ruqiu back.
"My Majesty, I know that there are indeed many things in Qiu Meiren's room that violate the regulations. There are all kinds of things for food, even hair grease and powder, etc., have changed their appearance. The slave girl can recognize them at a glance. Those are not Her identity can be used."
The palace servants brought up a box of lipstick and a half-used snail. The queen breathed heavily. She didn't need to look at it. They were all tributes, the kind with a certain amount.
According to palace regulations, these things must be used by concubines and above. As a fifth-grade noble, she is not qualified. Who else but the emperor can deliver these to her!
"Help her pack her luggage. She must stay at Chuxiu Palace tonight."
"yes."
There were only two people left in the room again.
"Sister, let's make peace from now on!" Tao Ran served the Queen another cup of tea. "Actually, there is something I have always wanted to say."
"Tell me."
"I have no intention of becoming queen. Therefore, you and I have never had any fundamental interest in each other."
The queen's body leaned back, obviously not believing it.
"Speaking of which, I also have a question that I have been wanting to ask."
"Sister, please speak up."
"My sister and the Emperor have always been in love. If nothing else is mentioned, I can tell that my sister is true to the Emperor and she is just pretending to be so. As a woman, if you are in love, how can you not want to be your only wife? ?”
"Do you think my sister still has admiration for the emperor now?"
"This is what my sister is confused about. Why did my sister's feelings for the emperor fade overnight?"
Tao Ran had long expected that the Queen would have such questions.
Today, she was also very satisfied with the queen's fighting ability.
Oh, now that she is here, she will naturally not let the emperor succeed easily again. As long as she and the empress can work closely together and keep civil servants and generals in their positions, the emperor's ambitions will be of no use. And if the emperor has any good ideas, why bother making a fuss in the harem?
Therefore, as long as he joins forces with the queen, the emperor will let him jump! He can't go up to the sky even if his wings are broken!
But although she successfully cooperated with the Queen today, she still had to dispel her doubts first if she wanted to fully gain the Queen's trust.
She had it all figured out.
"Sister, I don't know how desperate I was last night." Tao Ran gasped, his eyes filled with tears. "I was attacked by a sneak attack. I was convulsing in pain. I thought about the emperor's safety and spoke to warn him. But the emperor stayed away from me. He hid behind his guards and let them protect me, but he didn't let them save me..."
In just one second, Tao Ran shed tears.
"I was lying on the ground vomiting blood. When I felt like I couldn't do it anymore, I looked at the emperor who was hiding behind the guards and couldn't even see his face. I suddenly felt ridiculous and ridiculous. Does sister know? As long as the assassin at that time comes up to patch me up again, I will Certain death.
But your Majesty, you don’t care about me at all. Whether I die or not seems to have nothing to do with him. I was wrong. I always thought that the emperor really loved me, but the facts proved that it was just an illusion. In other words, I'm just a cover. "
Tao Ran wiped his tears: "Look, I'm not as good as Qiu Guiren! Also, with a cover like me, who can notice Qiu Guiren like that? In fact, I envy my sister. At least you live better than Qiu Guiren. I am true, it won’t be too painful to expose the lie, and it won’t be too painful to wake up from the dream.”
