Chapter 39 The Queen Pays Her Homage
Concubine Hua and Concubine Wan were punished to go to Penglai Island.
As soon as Concubine Wan returned to the palace yesterday, the Emperor immediately summoned her, but it was Concubine Hua who slept with him at night.
Some people were surprised, but the queen was not bothered by the matter.
It doesn’t matter whether she is Concubine Hua or Concubine Wan.
She was not very smart, but as things had developed to this point, she naturally guessed that what happened that night at Jiuzhou Qingyan was just a game of chess.
But the most important thing about all this is that the Emperor used to consult the Empress about everything.
But this time, she knew nothing.
Wanpin must know, but Huafei is not sure...
It is also an unknown in her mind.
Jianqiu carefully put the Dongzhu earrings on the queen, and at the same time carefully looked at the queen's expression in the bronze mirror.
"My queen, are you still wearing that emerald green and gold hairpin today?" Jianqiu asked tentatively.
The queen frowned, her beauty mixed with a hint of sadness. After thinking for a while, she slowly said, "Change that pearl hairpin for me."
"Yes." Jianqiu lowered her eyes. She already understood what the Queen meant.
At the morning meeting, all the concubines paid their respects to the Queen.
The rules and regulations are the same as before, but what is different is the thoughts of the concubines.
The Queen calmly asked everyone to sit down, and after serving tea, she immediately asked about the conditions of Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan.
"My two sisters just returned to the palace yesterday. You were wronged in Penglai Island. Have you gotten used to it today? I would like to exempt you from paying respects. There have been many changes in the palace. I hope you can have a good rest."
The queen spoke graciously.
On the other hand, Nian Shilan looked nonchalant, fiddling with her headdress from time to time, and didn't seem to be listening attentively at all.
"Queen, don't worry. Just think of us as having only stayed in Penglai Island for a month and then returned to our own palace. We don't feel uncomfortable with this, and you don't have to waive the rules of paying respects. If we go back and forth so often, people who don't know the situation might think that we don't know the rules and don't pay respects to the Queen."
The more he spoke, the higher the tone of his voice became, revealing no arrogance or assertiveness at all.
The concubines did not dare to say a word as the Nian family was becoming more and more powerful.
Nian Shilan is not in the ascendant now. Anyone who hangs around her now is seeking death.
Feng Ruozhao knew this very well. He glanced at Nian Shilan lightly and then looked at the Queen, expecting her reaction.
The queen obviously didn't want to offend Nian Shilan, so she just smiled politely, "Sister, you are too polite. The rules of paying respects were set by our ancestors, but I think that there are human feelings outside the law. If there is a reason, it is reasonable."
At this moment, she hoped that Nian Shilan would become more and more rampant, and even do something out of the ordinary.
"So from now on, can the sisters in the palace just say that there is a reason for the incident and not have to pay their respects to the Empress?"
Nian Shilan disdained her counterattack and spoke aggressively.
She is best at finding faults, especially when there is nothing to do.
After all, in this palace, no one could compare to Nian Shilan when it came to being outrageous.
Concubine Qi frowned. Seeing Nian Shilan being so arrogant, she said, "Concubine Hua, please don't push your luck. The Queen is considerate of you. How can you distort the facts?"
Hearing the voice coming from the opposite side, Nian Shilan turned her face to the side and raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
"How could I distort the facts? Why is Concubine Qi slandering me? I just said a few words to the Queen, but you got so angry. Concubine Qi must be upset, right?"
Nian Shilan raised her eyebrows and tilted her head slightly to look at Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi was confused and just thought, they were just talking about the Queen, why did the topic shift to her now?
She shrugged, "What worries me?"
Nian Shilan raised her hand to cover her mouth, "No? When I was in the Old Summer Palace for a month, I heard that the Fourth Prince was reciting books at such a young age, and he recited them so fluently. I guess Sister Qi Fei must have been very angry after she returned to the palace and found that the Third Prince, whom she had taught so carefully, was not doing well."
There was a hint of mockery in her words.
The queen was no longer surprised, as it was common for Shilan to use such tactics in the past.
She had always been using the Third Prince's refusal to come in to scold Concubine Qi, so this time she picked a topic to start a conversation as usual.
"Well, since we are in the palace, let's not talk about what happened in the Old Summer Palace." The Queen said solemnly.
When Concubine Qi saw that she was saved, she coughed.
"Princess Wan, you have always been in poor health. I have asked someone to send some tonics to your palace. Please ask Imperial Doctor Wen to prepare a prescription for you so that you can get your body back into good health." The Queen turned to Zhen Huan.
Zhen Huan quickly stood up and bowed politely to express her gratitude.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. With the tonic you gave me, my frail body will surely get better soon." Zhen Huan said politely.
The queen nodded in satisfaction, "Only if you can get well sooner can you give the emperor more children sooner."
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at An Lingrong and continued, "During the time you were away, An Lingrong was extremely worried. She came to me day and night to ask the Emperor to rescue you."
At this time, An Lingrong's eyes were already filled with tears, and she looked at Zhen Huan infatuatedly, "I hope you come back safely, sister. I'm afraid that Penglai Island is desolate and desolate, and sister has been wronged."
This pitiful look, filled with longing and heartache, is truly a touching picture.
Zhen Huan did not speak, but lowered her head slightly without looking at An Lingrong, and opened her mouth slightly, "Sister..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a sharp and sarcastic female voice.
It was Nian Shilan.
"An Ying knew that Penglai Island was desolate and barren, and she hadn't sent any clothes or letters to reassure people in the past month. Concubine Hui, who worked day and night to make clothes, hadn't even shed a tear yet, but you started crying first. What a deep sisterly love."
Nian Shilan said angrily, and her words woke everyone up.
Zhen Huan never uttered the polite words that she had been holding in her mouth.
An Lingrong, who had been crying just now, now felt a little ashamed.
She bit her lip and explained awkwardly, "My sister was so worried that she forgot what to do. She begged the queen every day and lost her appetite. It's really my sister's fault."
"Everyone in the palace knows that you are the best embroidery worker. Even if you forgot to do it, you can ask someone to send your previous work along as well. It's also a token of your thoughtfulness." Nian Shilan refuted her explanations one by one.
"An agreed, which shows that you are not sincere."
Wait until she finishes her last words.
Zhen Huan felt so happy that even Jing Xi clenched her hands.
Every word Nian Shilan said was what Zhen Huan was thinking.
But there is no one in this palace who is more suitable to say this, or more capable of saying this, than Nian Shilan.
The queen was stroking her fingers at this moment, the smile on her face gradually stiffened, and she interrupted the conversation in a harsh voice.
"Okay, we are all sisters from different palaces, please be more considerate."
Concubine Qi sighed and flattered, "Your Majesty is right. When I saw the Queen today, I felt that she was different from yesterday. The necklace on her head looked so familiar."
Everyone was shocked. She was not going to say...
Concubine Qi lived up to everyone's expectations and said with a smile, "It looks like the same necklace I gave to Concubine Qin before."
