Empress Shen Gongjiao

Chapter 172 How Do You Know That The Emperor Doesn't Want to See You

Feng Qian almost blurted out: Are you included among these people?But he opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words back.

At least so far, this man has treated her very well, there is no need to ask this.If one day in the future, she finds that even he can't be trusted, then it's fine if she doesn't believe it from now on, and there is no need to ask more questions.

Some things can only be seen with your own eyes, and it is useless to ask alone.

So in the end, she just nodded, with a smile on her lips: "Well, I see."

Concubine Qi walked in a muddle along the way, her heart was full of jealousy and panic, fear and worry, all these complicated emotions rushed into her head, almost drowning her whole body.

Before she could return to Huazhang Palace, she was invited by the Queen Mother halfway.

Concubine Qi knows that the Empress Dowager is happy, so she usually avoids the concubine's visit, let alone summoning a concubine on her own initiative.In addition, the queen mother never liked her, and she could at least smile kindly when she was facing other concubines, but she was so flat that she hardly showed any expression when facing her, so it was definitely not easy to summon her this time.

But after much deliberation, she couldn't think of the reason.

Forget it, Concubine Qi shook her head, she would naturally know after seeing it.

I went to Fengming Palace to meet the Empress Dowager, at first the conversation didn't get to the point, the Empress Dowager cared about her health and recent situation without saying a word, she really seemed to like her very much, and simply invited her to drink tea.

Concubine Qi couldn't help curling her lips mockingly.

"I heard that Concubine Qi went to Fengyang Palace just now?" The Empress Dowager held the tea cover in her hand and flicked the floating tea foam. It seemed that she just asked this casually, and it was no different from the questions that were concerned about her just now.

But Concubine Qi knew it wasn't.

If she guessed correctly, this is the highlight of what the Queen Mother asked her to do today.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine did go to Fengyang Palace."

"En." The queen mother nodded, and the golden step on the phoenix bun swayed a few times with her movements, shining so brightly that people couldn't look directly at it.

"Are you going to see Concubine Qian?" The Empress Dowager raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at Concubine Qi, "You all came from Xique together, so you should have a good relationship, so you should go and have a look."

Concubine Qi said truthfully: "Actually, the concubine has not been able to see Concubine Qian."

"Oh, why is that?"

"When the concubine went to Fengyang Palace, concubine Qian was not there. It seemed that she went to Longyin Palace to find the emperor, and later she came back with the emperor. The concubine guessed that the emperor didn't want to see the concubine, so he saw The concubine is there, so I just let the concubine come back." Having said this, Concubine Qi smiled wryly, "The concubine didn't even have time to say a word to Concubine Qian."

"You child, your heart is too simple." The queen mother sighed, and looked at her with pity, "How do you know that it is the emperor who doesn't want to see you, not the concubine Qian who doesn't want to see you?"

Concubine Qi was surprised.

"The Queen Mother..."

"The Ai family didn't want to say these things at first, but I really can't bear to see you like this. Think about it, if no one said anything, how could the emperor do this?"

Concubine Qi's eyes flashed, she already understood what the Empress Dowager meant, and also guessed why the Empress Dowager wanted her here today.

But now she can only pretend to be confused: "The concubine is dull, what the queen mother means is..."

The queen mother knew that she was pretending to be stupid, but she didn't mind, and said slowly: "Concubine Qian's temper, usually looks harmless to humans and animals. But, people are separated from each other, who knows what is going on in her heart?"
