She was too lazy to clean up after dressing up as a villain heroine

After suffering two losses in a row, Lin no longer dared to embarrass Qiao Zhenzhen in public on issues that could lead to criticism.

But they keep making small moves behind the scenes. For example, when it comes to the mother-in-law torturing the daughter-in-law, there are so many ways she can use. Just the establishment of rules is enough to make people angry.

Qiao Zhenzhen now goes there regularly in the morning, and the maids no longer dare to leave her alone in the yard.

Lin changed her approach and asked her daughter-in-law to serve her.

The day begins with serving meals.

This kind of thing is understandable.

If Qiao Zhenzhen keeps refusing, she will be the one who is wrong no matter what.

She had no intention of refusing. Since Lin wanted her to serve her, she would serve him.

It’s just that the quality of service will be compromised.

No matter what Lin wanted to eat, Qiao Zhenzhen would never take the initiative to pick up food for her unless she asked.

At this time, Lin would mock her in a veiled tone: "As a daughter-in-law, you have no manners at all."

Qiao Zhenzhen said frankly: "Mother is right about this. I was born into a poor family, but as far as I can remember, my father has been on a meteoric rise."

The way she smiled was quite annoying. "I was born to enjoy happiness, and now I've been given the title of Fuhui. People who enjoy happiness don't need any expression. In this respect, I'm naturally not as good as my mother."

Lin was furious, "What do you mean by that?"

Qiao Zhenzhen said innocently, "What can I mean? Mother didn't say I was tactless. I just said so to go along with what you said."

This kind of conversation has taken place many times between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law in the past few days.

Lin asked Qiao Zhenzhen to serve her personally, but Qiao Zhenzhen has always been a person who can turn passive into active.

I can meet some of your requirements, but any more would be a bit shameless.

All Qiao Zhenzhen wants is for the overall look to be flawless and for her to control the small details herself.

So she usually just watched from the side, giving instructions and letting the maids finish the work.

Just like making soup by yourself, actually just standing by and watching the fire for a few times counts as making it by yourself.

Lin was naturally dissatisfied with this, but he kept it to himself and didn't really show it.

Qiao Zhenzhen felt that she had become smarter, perhaps someone was guiding her behind the scenes.

Anyway, after a few days, I'm not too tired, but it's a waste of time.

Her time is very precious. It is impossible for her to be like an ordinary woman in the backyard like Lin, wasting the whole day on such meaningless things and still being complacent about it.

But she has been cooperating these days, and she naturally has her reasons.

The time has not come yet, we have to wait a little longer.

But after all, the life of the eldest wife has temporarily stabilized.

Han Zheng felt greatly relieved.

He would ask Qiao Zhenzhen if she was tired, and Qiao Zhenzhen would naturally say no.

There's no use complaining about this to a man.

Yi Wan complained about him, "A useless man."

Qiao Zhenzhen didn't care. "These things are what a daughter-in-law should do in universal values. It's impossible for me to feel extra torture. If I complain, it will make me look for trouble and be unvirtuous. We have to stand on the moral high ground. A temporary retreat is just to accumulate strength for better progress."

At the end of the month, Han Zheng accompanied her into the palace to meet the queen.

The two of them bowed to the queen together. When Queen Tong saw this perfect couple, she smiled and said, "Quickly stop bowing, Fuhui, come here and let me see you."

Qiao Zhenzhen stood up and walked forward, smiling a little shyly.

She called softly: "Mother..."

"Hey!"

Queen Tong laughed heartily and pulled her to sit on the couch.

Talking about her wedding makeup, "Now I heard that the whole city is imitating it."

It can be said to have led a fashion trend.

"A girl's wedding should be her most beautiful moment." Qiao Zhenzhen said with a smile, "I don't know what happened to the makeup. It's hard to tell who is who."

"That's true. In the past, when Queen Hye-kyung was in power, all the brides were beautiful. But somehow things have changed."

"It would be a good thing if I could change back now."

"Indeed." Queen Tong nodded. "How have you been in the Duke's Mansion these days? Has anyone given you any trouble?"

As he said this, he glanced at Han Zheng.

There was a hint of restraint in Han Zheng's handsome and cold face.

"Everyone knows that I am the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother. How could anyone embarrass me? I am just trying to make you unhappy. My family loves me very much. It is not much different from when I was at my mother's house."

Queen Tong and Han Zheng felt very relieved after hearing what Qiao Zhenzhen said.

"That's good. If anyone wants to embarrass you, be sure to tell mother." Queen Tong smoothed Qiao Zhenzhen's hair. "Mother has always wanted a daughter. Now that I have adopted you as my adopted daughter, you are just like my own daughter."

Qiao Zhenzhen glanced at her and saw that she was wearing the red sandalwood Buddhist beads she had given her on her wrist.

She nodded: "I understand."

This time when she came to see the Queen, she no longer called herself a subject, but wanted to get closer to the Queen. As the saying goes, it is good to lean on a big tree for shade; although she was called a princess, she actually wanted to be treated like a princess.

Queen Tong looked at Han Zheng and said, "Originally, I wanted Your Majesty to make Fuhui a princess, but Fuhui refused because she was thinking about you. Fuhui always thinks about you, so you should not be confused about some things."

Han Zheng bowed his hands and said, "I dare not."

"Not daring is not enough, you have to be sincere."

Han Zheng raised his eyes and stole a glance at Qiao Zhenzhen, and found that she was smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes, and then quickly lowered his head, "I understand, I will treat Fuhui well, and I must be sincere and good."

Queen Tong snorted, "I will trust you for now. Both of my eyes are on you."

Han Zheng bowed humbly again. The queen's pressure was several times greater than that of the Mo couple. He originally thought that Queen Tong treated Zhenzhen well only because she saved the prince, but now it seems that there is some sincerity in her feelings.

Qiao Zhenzhen asked: "Mother, have you slept well these days?"

Queen Tong touched the rosewood bracelet and said, "I sleep well. I fall asleep quickly when I lie down. I have no dreams all night. I rarely wake up in the middle of the night. I always sleep until dawn."

"No wonder you look even rosier than last time. A good night's sleep is more effective than any tonic."

"Thank you, Doctor. You are really a miracle doctor. I am only blessed by you." Queen Tong said with a smile.

"It's too polite for Master to say that. If Master knew that the medicine I prepared was so effective and could help Mother, he would definitely be very happy."

"Your Majesty looks at this with great envy."

Qiao Zhenzhen understood the meaning of the string music. "The bracelet is easy. Next time I see Master, I will ask him to make me a prescription for calming the mind. But if you want to enhance the effect, it is best to take it to Baoguo Temple for consecration and offer it in front of the Buddha for 49 days, preferably 81 days. If so, Your Majesty will have to wait for some time."

"He's not in a hurry. It won't be too late to consider it when you are free."

Queen Tong smiled kindly and patted the back of Qiao Zhenzhen's hand.

The two of them chatted and laughed, leaving Han Zheng there.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the queen didn't even give up her seat.

Qiao Zhenzhen pretended not to see it.

The two talked for a long time, and Emperor Kangde and the Crown Prince came to Kunning Palace together.

When Qiao Zhenzhen saluted the emperor, she addressed him as "Your Majesty". Emperor Kangde was very familiar and asked her to address him as "Father". Qiao Zhenzhen did not refuse and changed the address accordingly.

I thought to myself that I had made the right decision in sending the two paintings by Gu Kaizhi.

The prince exchanged a few words with the queen and then bowed, "I will go to the Imperial Garden with Qi Chen. Father and mother, you two can chat first."

"Go ahead." Emperor Kant said.

The prince and Han Zheng bowed and left.

After everyone left, Qiao Zhenzhen said she wanted to take the pulse of the emperor and empress.
