Chapter 257: She wants both the sample and the genuine product.
The emperor turned around and left Jingren Palace, leaving Empress Yixiu alone with her hand hanging in the air.
The emperor loved crispy cucumbers, so she picked some specially for him.
What did the emperor mean by what he said just now?
What does "You have always handled matters concerning my children very well" mean?
Did the emperor know something?
No, it won't.
The queen put down her chopsticks and frowned in thought.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Fang first had a miscarriage after becoming pregnant because of the musk she buried under the tree in Suiyuxuan, and later Concubine Xin had a miscarriage.
After the selection, Noble Lady Fucha was the first among the new batch of ladies to become pregnant and she arranged it herself, and Sang'er lost his child.
As for Shen Meizhuang, no matter how much she did in secret, didn't she still give birth to the child in the end?
If the emperor really knew that he was the one who did all this, I'm afraid the situation would not be as calm as it is now.
But what could it be? It was related to the child, and she had done it herself. The emperor knew about it, which made him dissatisfied with her.
This matter was neither a big nor a small matter. The emperor, who was already angry, couldn't help but criticize himself with words.
In this case, the Emperor's cold look towards me after the concubines left at Taihe Gate just now was indeed not my overthinking.
It seems that someone tipped off the emperor when he was outside the palace.
Could it be that Noble Lady Fucha almost had a miscarriage again this time?
Sang'er hanged himself, and Xiao Tang was just a scapegoat.
Noble Lady Fucha is fine, and the Emperor's friendship with her is not that deep. There are not many people from the Fucha family who can be used in the previous dynasty.
The Emperor should not be dissatisfied with himself because of the "Ma Lanfen" incident.
The queen thought about it for a while, but still didn't understand.
-------------------------------------
After the emperor left Jingren Palace, he wanted to go to Suiyuxuan to see Concubine Wan.
However, as soon as he left Jingren Palace, someone came to report that Lord Zhang Tingyu was already waiting for him in the Yangxin Palace.
Government affairs were urgent, so the emperor had no choice but to ask Su Peisheng to go to Suiyuxuan to tell Zhen Huan not to wait for him and to have dinner together in the evening.
Su Peisheng taught it personally, which shows how much the emperor values it.
When Zhen Huan saw Su Peisheng in the Sui Yuxuan, she naturally understood what the emperor meant.
But good things come to those who wait. Zhen Huan had her breakfast and went to take a nap.
She was very sleepy during her pregnancy and always felt that she did not get enough sleep. She had to stay awake every day to pay her respects to the Queen.
Today, the emperor has returned to the palace, so I can have some free time.
Concubine Hua returned to Yikun Palace, and Zhou Ninghai came in to report that the Queen had mentioned Xiao Tang's provision of Ma Lan, which made the Emperor unhappy. The Emperor left after eating only a few bites of breakfast.
Later, because of Zhang Tingyu, the emperor returned to the Yangxin Palace.
"I heard from Xiao Xiazi that the emperor is going to Suiyuxuan tonight." When Zhou Ninghai said this, his eyes flickered as he looked at Concubine Hua, gauging her likes and dislikes.
Zhou Ninghai thought that on the first night after the emperor returned to the palace, the ladies in each palace would naturally be eagerly waiting for the emperor to come to their palaces.
But the Emperor went to the pregnant Zhen Huan first, and I'm afraid the Empress would be unhappy to hear that.
Zhou Ninghai spent more time on duty outside the palace, so naturally he was not very sensitive to Concubine Hua's emotions. Song Zhi listened at the side and did not look at Concubine Hua's expression.
Anyway, the emperor is not coming today, so it will be easier for them, the servants.
If the Emperor came today, Her Majesty would be very unhappy.
Concubine Hua listened to Zhou Ninghai's words without showing any particular emotion. She went to Zhen Huan's place, which was perfect. She wanted to cure Zhen Huan's pregnancy disease.
As for the Queen, she was probably racking her brains to figure out what she had done wrong to displease the Emperor.
When Concubine Hua thought about how the Queen was feeling depressed and frustrated in Jingren Palace at the moment, she couldn't help but smile slightly.
I am really smart. Even in this situation which seems to have no way out, I can still find the flaws and seek a breakthrough.
Zhou Ninghai quietly lifted his eyelids to look at his master's expression. Looking at the weird, unreasonable, and proud smile on his master's face, he felt a chill in his heart.
Is this lady possessed by some evil spirit?
Songzhi noticed the fear and uneasiness in Zhou Ninghai's eyes and couldn't help but want to laugh.
I will not be a good person and share my experience of being a clerk with Zhou Ninghai.
Unless he brought himself a complete set of rouge-colored Drunken Spring Breeze from outside the palace, he would never be able to guess what his master was thinking in his lifetime.
Although Miss Sun would always send a large batch of rouge for her master to choose the colors, they were all semi-finished products of the first batch. In the end, the ones that the empress would choose and finally put on the market were always different.
There are indeed quite a few sample items in her room, but which woman would not be tempted by the authentic ones?
She wants both the sample and the real thing.
Concubine Hua asked Zhou Ninghai to leave.
Songzhi happened to pick up some red cherries that were newly sent as tribute by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today when she went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After washing them, they were placed in a crystal glass cup. The red cherries on the jade plate looked very beautiful.
Hua Fei was eating cherries while reading a storybook, thinking about beautiful things and humming a few lines of tune from time to time.
On the day when Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing, Shen Meizhuang and others came to see Concubine Hua to eat hotpot, Zhou Ninghai came to report that Nanny Zhang insisted on seeing him.
Later, they went to see Nanny Zhang together. At that time, Nanny Zhang tried to frame Concubine Qi, and Shen Meizhuang wanted to twist Nanny Zhang's tongue. Seeing that the old woman was not telling the truth, she did not stop her.
But at the moment he turned around that day, an extremely fantastic idea came to his mind, so he turned around and saved the old woman's life.
At this moment, Concubine Hua was eating the cherries that Songzhi had washed, feeling very pleased with herself. The smugness on her face made Songzhi unable to understand what her mistress was thinking.
Not only Zhou Ninghai couldn't figure out what his master was thinking, even he himself couldn't guess it. And yet, he asked him several times, but his master still wouldn't say anything.
In fact, it’s not that Concubine Hua doesn’t want to say it, but that Concubine Hua can’t say it. If she says it, it will harm Songzhi, so she can only keep this matter to herself.
Hua Fei was a little tipsy that day, but the bold idea suddenly popped into her mind.
Perhaps, that person is the emperor.
This was Hua Fei’s first thought.
When this thought slipped into her mind, Concubine Hua was half awakened from her drunken state.
With Nanny Zhang's persistence, confidence, and the courage to compete with me, she must be a person who is superior to me.
Hua Fei initially thought it was the Queen, but later she thought that this person might not be the Queen. She was on equal footing with the Queen in this palace. Nanny Zhang followed Linglong in and out of Yiku Palace, so she naturally understood her temper.
If Nanny Zhang followed the Queen's instructions and was caught by her again, she would not deny it to death. Even an official like Zhang Mi could be made into a "heartless doctor" by her using her money. This shows that the Queen's ability to win people's hearts is not very good.
