Chu Nianhe didn’t ask Xiaochan anything anymore, but just sent her out, and she finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.
But she had just fallen asleep, but the queen was lit with candles and the room was brightly lit.
“Empress, it’s time for you to sleep,”
Madam Zheng whispered from the side: “When can’t be practiced in this practice? The emperor just came back, and the empress has to take care of herself. She has hurt her face because she stayed up late. The emperor should be unhappy when she saw it.”
Under the dim candlelight, the empress was writing the word 四 over and over on the bright red rice paper. She didn’t even look at Madam Zheng, but a sigh came out from her slightly pale lips.
“The Emperor has never cared about what the face of this palace is. If it weren’t for eating that thing all the time…”
“Oh, Empress, don’t say it!”
Madam Zheng reached out to cover the queen’s mouth in a panic. After hesitating, she put down her hand again: “My lady, only the two of us know about this matter. Now the people in the palace are unpredictable, maybe someone is listening to it with ears across the wall. There is really no need for Madam Zheng to take this matter out and say it…”
Madam Zheng said these words with sincerity.
After hearing this, the queen paused on her hand. After writing for the middle of the night, there was a pile of paper on the ground, and the queen’s hands were already sore and numb. She looked at the neat and neat words in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Madam Zheng, “Look, how is the word “四” written in this palace?”
Madam Zheng was not very literate, but since the queen asked, she couldn’t help but answer.
“The Empress has written well, but I don’t have such good knowledge. I just think that the Empress’s brushwork is sharp and the whole word is round and grand. It’s really not better.”
“You old guy,”
The queen’s face rarely showed a smile, and then raised her hand to hold her wrist and walked towards the soft collapse beside her: “I said I have no knowledge and can say such words as brushwork, which shows that you are dishonest.”
After that, she picked up the milk tea that had been warm beside her and whispered: “Have you arranged the matter with Chen’er?”
“Yes,”
Madam Zheng knew what the empress was saying, and immediately said seriously: “Yes, I have already explained this to the princess.”
The queen seemed to know her heart and sneered, “She is reluctant.”
“This…”
Madam Zheng hesitated for a moment, and still lowered her head and said, “Is it unwilling, the princess is kind-hearted, too simple.”
“Simple, kind?”
The queen curled her lips and said disdainfully: “Although she was still a little disdainful,”However, I was in the palace, but after being immersed in the palace for a long time, how could I not get a bit of secular spirit? To put it bluntly, any woman would rather send her husband to the woman’s room next to her, but she just wanted to take the overall situation into consideration and pretend to be virtuous and generous. “
Although her words were unpleasant, they were considered to be the truth. After hearing this, Madam Zheng only lowered her head and remained silent without saying a word.
After pausing for a while, the queen felt bored again and sighed lightly, “Next time you go, give her the Fengxiang Jiutian golden hairpin, and tell her that the meaning of this palace is in this golden hairpin. “
“Empress…”
Madam Zheng raised her head in surprise and looked at the queen disbelief: “That hairpin was only rewarded by the Queen Mother when you entered the palace. Even if the Queen Mother liked the princess, she wouldn’t give her this hairpin now. No…”
Madam Zheng didn’t say the rest of the words.
But after hearing her words, the Queen just leaned back lazily and said tiredly: “What’s the point of giving it to her? I’m not afraid that she would have any ambitions. After so many years, she has been with Chen’er the most caring, and she is relieved to be with her. Besides, she is considered to have many children, and many children are more blessed. I still think that she can give Chen’er a few more children and give birth. If she does this well, I should also reward her to show that my mind is not…”
Madam Zheng also knew what she was thinking in her heart as she listened to the queen’s words lighter and lighter.
The queen has seen other concubines and concubines of Yan Lichen. To be fair, the quality and background of those women are indeed inferior to Lin Wenqin. Now the empress has put such a big thing on Lin Wenqin’s shoulders, one to test her reaction ability and service ability, and the other to see if she is cruel enough.
