Queen's favorite

"Your Majesty is here—"

The originally quiet hall suddenly became silent, breathing was audible, and the atmosphere was a bit dignified, as if the clouds were overwhelming and the haze was dense.

Although it is disrespectful to speculate like this... But I also know that these concubines who entered the palace before them have already understood their situation, and have a deeper understanding of the temperament of the queen. At this moment, no, every moment No one would be willing to appear in front of Zhongli Yu.

After all, if you offend the other party, what awaits you is a situation beyond redemption.

On weekdays, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it. If you can't avoid it, you will stiffly meet it.

Although there were many concubines accompanying him at this time, they still couldn't overcome the fear in their hearts, so the gloomy atmosphere was expected.

Qi Changle just didn't realize it, still bowed his head quietly, waiting for Zhongli Yushangdian.

Soon, the rest of the people came to their senses, got off their seats, and bowed respectfully.

Qi Changle raised his eyes slightly, and even saw some concubines trembling in their clothes.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, but the smile on her lips deepened in the dark.

it's OK.

Be more afraid.Don't begrudge the fear and panic, don't force yourself to be calm.

Because only if they showed enough awe and fear, her sincerity and kindness would be more appreciated by the female monarch.

At this moment, Qi Changle's heart was unexpectedly calm, without waves or ripples.But at the same time, she felt a joy slowly rising from the depths of her heart.

The concubines who entered the palace two years ago had a better understanding of Zhongliyu's tyranny and wantonness, so they never dared to provoke Zhongliyu, and they didn't even dare to go in front of her, for fear of attracting the other party's attention.

But among the newcomers to the palace, there are people who have different ideas.

This is the case with Ren Che.

He is the son of Guozi Jiancheng, his father's official position is not high, and his status is not high, but it doesn't matter, because Ren Che believes that sooner or later he will climb to a high position.

Although Ren Qiao had heard about various deeds of the female monarch, and had seen it with his own eyes in the main hall on the day of the draft, but... maybe it was because, when it happened to him, the female monarch was not embarrassed because of Qi Changle at that time. People who came after Qi Changle, so Ren Qiao just met Zhong Liyu at that time, so he was easily let go.

It was precisely because of letting go this time that Ren Che had some delusions in his heart that he shouldn't have.

In addition, in the few days from the draft to yesterday, Qi Changle has set a perfect example, which even gave Ren Che fantasy.

So he thought, since Mr. Qi Gui can do it, why can't he?

Although the female monarch is tyrannical, but... she is a woman after all.Since she is a woman, as long as she behaves better, she must be able to attract the attention of the lady, right?

At that time, concubine concubine, concubine concubine, just around the corner.

Thinking of the scenery in the future, Ren Qiao only felt his heart pounding, and his heart beat a little faster.

Zhong Liyu was wearing a golden robe today, which was luxurious and gorgeous, she walked forward, glanced at Qi Changle who was kneeling below on the way, and curled her lips.

The imperial concubine got up from above, made way for the queen, and then bowed her knees to salute.

"His Majesty."

Zhong Liyu came back to his senses, she stretched out her hand to pull him up, "There's no need to be too polite."

Next, sit down on top.

Although Qi Changle didn't raise her head, she listened to the interaction between the queen and the concubine, her face remained unchanged, but deep in her heart she was deep in thought.

When Zhong Liyu got along with the imperial concubine, he seemed unexpectedly peaceful, and it seemed that the relationship between the two should be good.

But think about it, if it is not "good", how can the other party be in the position of imperial concubine.

Qi Changle didn't feel threatened, after all, there was no conflict between her and the imperial concubine at this time, and the imperial concubine was not her obstacle.

And... even if it is, it is not the time for Qi Changle to fight against the other party.

"Get up first." Zhong Liyu glanced over his eyebrows, but only pointed to those concubines.

"Is your Majesty here today for something?" Su Muhe sat down beside him and asked.

Zhong Liyu propped his chin, let out a "huh", then bent his eyes, smiling lazily, with a hint of maliciousness.

"Today is the third day of the new concubine's entry into the palace. Naturally, I also want to see this batch of new concubines. I just hope that they—" She raised her eyebrows, "They can be stronger than the previous two batches."

The female monarch's ending sound was smiling, but it made everyone present turn pale.

After all, the meaning of these words is too obvious, and there is no room for people not to think about it.

Be stronger?What are you strong for, what are you strong for, and what are you going to be strong against?

More and more speculations came to mind, Zhong Liyu hadn't done anything yet, but they were so frightened that they trembled.

The rest of the concubines sat on the chairs, their backs were straight, they were sweating profusely, and they did not dare to breathe loudly, for fear of attracting the queen's attention.

But Zhong Liyu didn't want to let them go.

She withdrew her gaze and looked at those people in the seat.

"Of course, I also came here for my concubines." Her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her voice was soft.

"It's a rare audience with the whole palace, so I naturally want to come here, so that I can meet those who saw me last time... I don't know where they died, concubines." She said in a soft voice, word by word.

Zhong Liyu suppressed his smile little by little, with gloom gathering between his brows and eyes.

"After all, if I don't come at this time, I'm afraid I don't know when I will meet you in the harem. I know that I saw you enter the harem. I don't know, I thought you were all dead."

"It disappeared without a trace, and I wish I could hide outside the palace walls."

Her eyes were gloomy and her voice was low.

"Why, are you so afraid of me? You're so afraid that everyone is shrinking like a turtle, running around, avoiding me?"

After the words fell, her face was already expressionless.

He was still smiling just now, but now it is really cloudy.

In the main hall, everyone was terrified, and no one even dared to speak out to defend themselves.

Although they were sitting on the seats, their expressions looked as if they were kneeling on ice blades.

Although Qi Changle was not so afraid, he once again saw the moodiness of the female monarch.

It's really... a little difficult to coax.

After a while, Su Muhe said in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as them."

Zhong Liyu raised his eyes and glanced at him, sneered: "If you don't know them, how can you see their playful faces?"

Su Muhe said helplessly: "You..." He sighed softly, "It's not good after all."

Qi Changle's eyebrows twitched, and his fingers slowly clenched.

Concubine, how can you actually discourage the queen so positively?

Unexpectedly, the queen was not angry.

Qi Changle lowered his head, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

She originally thought that the imperial concubine was just favored by the queen, that's all, but now it seems that there is more than just doting, there is more heavy affection between them.

Qi Changle frowned slightly, and then let go of his hand.

Zhong Liyu looked at the concubines below, and then said: "Just in time, I will also recognize the newcomers entering the palace at this time."

Su Muhe looked over and narrowed his eyes.

"Your Majesty Qi shouldn't need to know him, I think His Majesty is very familiar with it."

Hearing his name, Qi Changle's heart tightened slightly.But the female monarch didn't speak, so she didn't move either, just kowtowed peacefully.

Zhongli Yu's eyelashes moved slightly, and his eyes fell on Qi Changle, the smile in his eyes grew a bit more, and the hostility in his body was also suppressed.

She lazily said: "Indeed."

"Changle, get up first." Zhong Liyu said.

Qi Changle paused slightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After kneeling for such a long time, coupled with the thin summer clothes, her knees were already aching.But even so, when Qi Changle got up, he was still steady and dignified, without any mistakes.

She has always been able to bear it.

whatever it is.
