The charming empress is too good at fishing, and the ruthless emperor has fallen

You can't eat the lunch you brought back, but you can't go hungry. However, every meal in the palace has regulations and cannot be exceeded.

Jingshu had no choice but to take a few pastries as a cushion.

Over at Yanxi Palace, they were inquiring about the news in Yicui Palace.

When paying respects at Kunning Palace in the morning, Zhao Zhaoyi and Jing Shu were fighting in the ring. Jing Shu provoked her and said that she wanted to see if the Holy Emperor would turn over her sign tonight. Initially, she still had some confidence, but she learned that Jing Shu had been summoned to the Imperial Palace by Lu Zan in the morning. I stayed in the study for a long time, and when I came out with weak legs, I was so angry that I threw a vase.

If by chance the Holy One orders Jingshu to go to bed at night, he will be in great disgrace!

Therefore, when Zhao Zhaoyi met the maid of Yicui Palace on the road at noon, he deliberately beat her because she was picky about food, and even made Jingshu unable to eat her lunch.

I originally thought that Jing Shu's current unreasonable and unforgiving temper would definitely cause trouble for him.

When the time comes, I will use my high status to deal with her and make her unable to sleep with her at night no matter what...

But who would have known that Jingshu didn't come to the door to make trouble. This made Zhao Zhaoyi disappointed, and he was so angry that he called her cunning and hateful.

At this time, Zhao Zhaoyi rested her forehead in frustration, lying half on the beauty's couch with her eyes closed and fell asleep.

"If your Majesty doesn't want me to sleep with you tonight, there are other ways to do it. There's no need to be angry with someone like her."

Liu Fang, the first-class palace maid, squeezed her legs and comforted her.

Just as he was talking, the eunuch Liu Xi suddenly came in and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty! I have heard two things!"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhaoyi immediately opened his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Princess Duan committed suicide because of her love for Prince Duan!"

Almost as soon as Liu Xi's voice fell, a joyful look appeared on Zhao Zhaoyi's face.

"Who do you think is dead? Princess Duan? Princess Meng Lianqing of Hengyang? That cousin who takes the lead in everything?"

Zhao Zhaoyi sat up from the beauty's couch all of a sudden, with a bright look in his eyes.

"She is really dead? Really dead!"

She couldn't help but stood up again and asked repeatedly.

"Yes, my dear!"

Seeing that his mother-in-law was happy, Liu Xi could not help but feel excited in his voice, "It is said that the Holy Emperor was very sad about this and had already written a letter to appease King Pingnan who was guarding the border. He also planned to go to the Zhao family to visit the general. Mrs. Zhao who was raised by Princess Duan!"

At this time, Zhao Zhaoyi could no longer suppress her laughter!

As we all know, Princess Duan Meng is the only legitimate daughter of King Pingnan, and Princess Pingnan is her biological aunt.

After the death of her aunt, King Pingnan was deeply in love and has not remarried until now. He has been stationed at the border. The old lady of the Zhao family, her grandmother, has been raising Meng by his side.

In the past, Meng was the white moonlight that all the young men in the capital could only dream of. Even the Holy Emperor had originally intended to marry Meng as the crown princess.

It's a pity that Meng fell in love with Prince Duan and later became Princess Duan.

Meng used to suppress her everywhere, but she never expected that she would end up committing suicide out of love!

You deserve it!

"You said there is something else, what is it?"

At this time, Zhao Zhaoyi lay back down again in total comfort, looked at Liu Xi with a smile in her eyes, and asked kindly.

"Returning to the empress, there is another thing. I want to know why the Holy Emperor suddenly favored the concubine in the imperial study!" Liu Xi followed.

"Why?" Zhao Zhaoyi's joyful mood froze when he heard the name of concubine Jing, and he asked with a frown.

"I heard that on that day, Concubine Jing went to the imperial study. She was dressed strictly outside, but in fact, she was wearing a light gauze palace dress with a large white lotus embroidered on it. As you know, my concubine, In this capital, only one person can wear white lotus as a decoration on his clothes..."

Liu Xi ordered it until then.

Zhao Zhaoyi nodded instantly and clearly.

"Yes, this person is my cousin, Princess Duan, Meng Lianqing. In the past, Prince Duan praised her for emerging from the mud without stains, washing clean ripples without being evil, saying that she was as noble and proud as a white lotus, and had a good character. , since then, Meng Lianqing has taken the White Lotus logo as her own, and only her clothes can be decorated with White Lotus."

As she said this, there was a hint of sarcasm on her lips.

"I can't blame the emperor for being in the East Palace for so long and refusing to touch Jingshu. He obviously didn't like her at all. But these days, he suddenly asked her to sleep with her one after another. It turned out that Jingshu had such a small thought and touched the emperor's love for Meng Shu. Not wanting to get what he asked for, he took the initiative to become Meng's substitute, and in this way he won the emperor's special favor for five days!"

Zhao Zhaoyi thought she knew the truth of the matter, and felt jealous and hateful in her heart.

"But when you talk about these two things, what are your ideas?" She looked at Liu Xi again and asked.

"Your Majesty is wise! I heard that although Your Majesty wanted to go to Zhao's house to condolences to the old lady, he was concerned about King Duan's rebellion, so he couldn't save his face. It's exactly what needs someone to take the initiative to give His Majesty a way forward!"

Liu Xi quickly said excitedly, "Think about it, the Holy One is grieving over Meng's death. If the empress comes to the Holy One and mentions the deep love between you and Meng's sisters in the past, and asks the Holy One to take you back to Zhao's house, isn't that right? Do you just want what the Holy One wants?

"The other thing is, which of the concubines in the harem has been brought back to his parents' home by the Holy Emperor himself? What an honor this must be for you!"

Zhao Zhaoyi followed his train of thought and thought about it, her eyes suddenly brightened.

"Keep talking!"

"Yes, your Majesty, I thought, since the concubine was able to imitate Princess Duan's dress and get the Holy Emperor to favor her, if the Imperial Concubine takes the initiative to dress up like this tonight and go to the imperial study to meet the Holy Emperor... Tonight's bedtime will definitely be a success. It’s none other than the empress!”

Liu Xi finished speaking.

Zhao Zhaoyi thought for a moment and then asked Liu Fang to prepare the clothes Liu Xi mentioned for her.

She also went to bathe and get ready.

After all, she is Meng's cousin, and the two of them look somewhat similar. Since Jingshu, who was not favored at all in the past, can be favored by being Meng's substitute, then she will be the substitute for this substitute. Come on!

In the evening, dinner was delivered.

Lu Zan finished reviewing another letter.

When I looked up, I saw that there were a few pens missing from the pen holder. I remembered that those brushes were made wet by Jing Shu and could no longer be used.

"Has she been bullied in the past two days?"

Lu Zan walked to the dining table, sat down, and asked as usual.

"Your Majesty, what are you asking about?" Wang Zhong was stunned, a little confused.

Lu Zan did not answer, but gave him a cold glance.

Wang Zhong's neck shrank, and suddenly he felt blessed and understood!

The Holy Emperor had been keeping an eye on the activities of Yicui Palace before. After all, his savior lived there, but since the concubine went to bed, he stopped keeping an eye on it.

Unexpectedly, I asked again today.

"Your Majesty, this servant will go find someone to ask."

Not long after, he came back and told Lu Zan about the verbal dispute between Jingshu and Zhao Zhaoyi in the past two days, as well as the fact that at noon, the palace servants in Yicui Palace were made difficult and beaten by Zhao Zhaoyi, and they did not finish their lunch.

Lu Zan listened and nodded lightly.

I remembered that when Jingshu left the imperial study in the daytime, he asked him if he wanted to go to Yicui Palace at night. At that time, he refused because he had to discuss matters with the ministers at night.

At this time, he said: "When the people from the Jingshi Room come, tell them that I will go to Yicui Palace in the evening."

"The slave obeys the order."

People from the Jingshi Room usually come over after Lu Zan’s dinner.

However, as soon as he put down his chopsticks, Zhao Zhaoyi arrived first.

The look on Lu Zan's face suddenly turned cold when he thought that just because of a few words of argument, Zhao Zhaoyi deliberately beat and scolded the people in Yicui Palace, and even made Jingshu lose his lunch.

"Tell her to come in."

He waved his hand and ordered the dinner to be taken away.

The next moment, Zhao Zhaoyi, wrapped in a cloak, walked in. A white jade lotus hairpin on his head first caught people's eyes.
