Jingren Palace
The afternoon sun shines through the screen window onto the table, making the peony flowers on the teacup look particularly beautiful, and the tea is fragrant with a fruity aroma.
A peaceful and relaxing afternoon.
But the queen was not in a very good mood. She leaned on the couch with a sullen face, closed her eyes irritably, and rubbed her aching forehead with her hand.
Concubine Qi had been by her side for a long time, and she knew that if she spoke rashly at this moment, she would only attract a lot of criticism, so she just stood aside and acted like a wooden stake.
Little do they know that to a upset person, no matter what the other person does, it is wrong.
The queen felt irritated whenever she heard her breathing. This naive beauty was beautiful but had no soul. She could not capture the emperor's heart at all. Even Xia Dongchun could take away her favor. She was really useless.
Finally, the Queen couldn't stand her standing there without saying anything, so she said to her, "Don't be afraid in front of me. Practice your dancing when you have time. Although you are favored now, you will have to participate in the selection next year. You have to make the Emperor remember you firmly."
When it comes to dancing practice, Concubine Qi wants to complain a few words. She has a plump figure, and in order to cater to the dance rehearsals of the Queen, she hasn't had a full meal for many days. She feels burning in her stomach every night when she goes to sleep. She wants to ask the Queen to lower the standards a little so that she doesn't have to work so hard.
But seeing the Queen's impatient look, he finally didn't dare to say anything and had to leave with a downcast face.
Less than a quarter of an hour after Concubine Qi left, Jianqiu came in and reported that Concubine Jing wanted to see her.
Li Ying?
Hearing her name, a smile appeared on the queen's lips. She was finally here.
Li Ying said softly, "Thanks to the Queen's care, the Sixth Prince and I are safe. I have never forgotten this great favor, and I came here today to kowtow and thank the Queen for her kindness."
But just the phrase "peach blossoms in my arms" was enough for the Queen to see her cleverness. The Queen didn't believe that she was just here to express her gratitude, so she spoke directly:
"No need to thank me, you came just in time, I just have a headache."
There was finally a hint of change in Li Ying's calm lowered eyes.
Her appearance can only be described as pretty, but she was extremely lucky. She became pregnant with a dragon fetus after one night of sleeping with the queen. She also managed to avoid previous plots with her cleverness. She was successfully taken care of by the queen in the treacherous harem and gave birth to a child safely.
She was not afraid that the queen had an agenda because she herself had ambitions.
She came here just to find a stepping stone for herself. Since she was lucky, she thought God would be more willing to give her another great wealth.
Hearing the queen speak directly, she no longer concealed her feelings and asked softly:
"I have learned some massage techniques before. If your Majesty doesn't mind, why not let me help you relieve the pain?"
The Queen said, "It's easy to relieve the pain in the body, but how can we eradicate the stubborn disease in our heart?"
Li Ying still smiled gently, but the words she spoke were filled with murderous intent:
"Then we need to find the root of the problem and eradicate it directly."
The Queen saw that she was sincere in her surrender and asked:
“How can we eradicate the root of the problem?”
Li Ying said softly: "Then Madam must tell me what is wrong with you, so that I can prescribe the right medicine."
The Queen would never reveal anything about plotting to have someone's offspring in front of anyone, but she also wanted to hear what useful ideas Li Ying would give her, so she hinted:
"There are weeds in the palace that shouldn't be there. How should we control them?"
Hearing this, Li Ying's heart moved. Thinking of the things about the Fourth Prince that had been circulating in the harem in recent days, a hint of interest rose in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and continued to speak in her soft voice:
"Have you, Queen, ever heard of the Crown Prince?"
Liu Ju, son of Emperor Wu of Han, died in a witchcraft scandal.
A hint of horror appeared in the queen's eyes. She didn't expect that Li Ying was so ruthless and her every move was aimed at killing people.
Emperors of every dynasty hated witchcraft and sorcery, and if they were not careful, it would backfire on them.
But if you plan well, you can take the opportunity to accomplish many things.
The Queen was a little tempted, but she had just been reprimanded by the Emperor over the matter of Princess Zining, so she didn't dare to act rashly at this moment. She had to wait until after the Emperor's Birthday to make a decision.
However, the Queen was still very happy with the pledge of allegiance given by Li Ying. From now on, she would have a sharp sword of her own in her hand.
But he didn't see the fire flickering in Li Ying's eyes.
No one in the palace knew about the Queen's shocking plan, as the concubines were all preparing for the Emperor's birthday.
Although most people do not have to perform on stage, they must still express their gratitude to the emperor.
Gold, silver and jewelry are tacky, and unique copies of famous paintings are hard to come by. Many people wanted to make some underwear for the emperor, which would not only be a gift but also make the emperor think of them from time to time.
As a result, An Lingrong's Yonghe Palace became lively.
Her embroidery skills were superb and had been recognized by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. The concubines all wanted to learn the essentials from her so that they could report to the Emperor.
Seeing the eager eyes of Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xin and Xia Dongchun, An Lingrong did not hold back and taught them all the little tricks she had learned in embroidery.
An Lingrong was not sure how much others could learn, but as for Xia Dongchun's embroidery skills, An Lingrong had no hope. The embroidery was bold and open, and it showed the thoughtfulness. Whether the emperor would wear it or not depended on fate.
An Lingrong pointed out a mistake made by Concubine Jing, and asked a question that she had been concerned about for a long time: "Sister Jing, why doesn't Sister Shen come out to walk around?"
Concubine Jing also looked worried when she mentioned Shen Meizhuang: "Alas, after Zhen left the palace, she was very upset and was sick for a few days. She seems to be better these past two days, but she is listless and doesn't like to talk to people. She only smiles when she sees Zining. That's why I asked her to help take care of Zining so that she can come here to learn from me."
An Lingrong said with a double meaning: "Sister Jing is kind, it's good to let Sister Shen accompany the princess, but this is not a long-term solution. To survive in the palace, you can't rely on one person alone. Sister Jing should still persuade her to move forward."
In her previous life, although Shen Meizhuang was sad after Zhen Huan left the palace, she quickly cheered up. While helping Concubine Jing to look after Princess Longyue, she frequently sent for Wen Shichu to enter the palace. At that time, she did not notice anything unusual about Shen Meizhuang.
It was not until she heard that Shen Meizhuang was pregnant and went to inquire about her that she noticed something unusual from the interaction between the two of them.
Sure enough, during the subsequent blood test, her words made Wen Shichu so confused that he castrated himself.
In this life, it seems that Shen Meizhuang's love for Wen Shichu has long been deeply planted, otherwise she would not be depressed because she has not seen Wen Shichu for a long time.
Stupid! An Lingrong cursed Shen Meizhuang in her heart.
In her previous life, Shen Meizhuang's affair was able to be kept secret because Zhen Huan was able to cover up everything in the harem later on.
But in this life, the people in the palace have changed, and An Lingrong is not the only perceptive person. Even the secrets hidden so deeply by the Zhen family have been dug out.
How could Shen Meizhuang guarantee that this heinous crime of killing nine generations of a clan would not be discovered by someone with ulterior motives?
An Lingrong needs to deal with the Queen, and if Shen Meizhuang is used well, she will be a good helper. She will never let her fail because of this empty love between men and women.
We have to find a way to stop Shen Meizhuang from having this idea.
