Queen's scheming

Chapter 126 Planning ([-])

Shen Qingwan faced the mirror with a double-petal jasmine flower sticking to it, and with a touch of her bare hand, the bright red petals fell between her eyebrows.Shen Qingwan was a little annoyed and said: "The things made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are becoming less and less refined. This concubine ordered jasmine flowers, even if they were not snow white, they were at most lavender, but they sent a bright red one. Yes, if you don't take a closer look, it's clearly a peach blossom!"

Yumei was serving in front of her, she bowed her head and said, "Your Majesty, don't you know that person from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? I'm used to following the wind and riding the rudder, bowing to the high and stepping on the low. Ever since you came back from visiting your relatives that day, under the kindness of the Queen Mother Gong Xiao stayed for a few days, and then came back to the Zili Palace. If you order anything, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will accept everything, but the things you send are not like that. If you want pure gold, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send you gold. Yes, it’s not even a star.”

As soon as Shen Qingwan lifted it, she threw the emerald jasmine hairpin in her hand onto the bluestone brick, and the hairpin shattered at the sound.Shen Qingwan glanced at the fragments on the bluestone bricks, and said coldly: "If you dare to send this kind of fineness to my concubine, the House of Internal Affairs is really getting bolder! It's all due to the old queen mother who meddles in her own business. The Japanese name says that she doesn't care about everything in the harem, eating fast and reciting Buddha's name, but she doesn't care about anything about my concubine. Now these things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even my concubine's regulations when she was a fourth-rank Ronghua Nothing compares!"

Yumei had already seen the strangeness, waved her hand, and immediately a little maid came into the palace and cleaned up the debris without making a sound.

"Your Majesty, it's not good for you to be sulking like this in the Purple Glass Palace. Anger hurts the liver and easily damages the body." Yumei poured a cup of warm water from a small red clay stove, handed it to Shen Qingwan, and said: "Your Majesty, you should think of a way. Could it be that you have been bullied by the Ministry of Internal Affairs until the day of delivery?"

"Why doesn't this concubine want to change the status quo, but the two nuns rewarded by the queen mother are guarding outside the palace every day, and this concubine can't do anything even if she wants to." Shen Qingwan said angrily, since that day, the queen mother has arranged The two nuns were by her side, and they pretended to be here to wait on her to give birth, but they were actually here to monitor her. If she made a slight mistake, the Queen Mother would be the first to spare her.

Shen Qingwan yelled for a long time, her throat was a little dry, took the teacup Yumei was holding, took a sip, and immediately fell on the bluestone brick, angrily said: "What is this? It's fine if the House of Internal Affairs doesn't bring in tea, Don’t you even have honey water? Is it hot or cold, is it for people to drink?”

Yumei frowned and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down! The two nuns said, Your Majesty's figure changes too fast, you are not allowed to use honey, your Majesty, but only warm water. They say that hot water hurts body fluids, and cold water is not suitable for pregnancy. .”

Shen Qingwan was so angry that a white lotus flower on her chest rose and fell, and she said angrily: "It's just two nuns, but they still care about this. Didn't the imperial physician say that honey water is fine? How could the imperial physician say that?" , both of them dare to refute! According to this concubine, the two of them are not here to serve this concubine, they are here to provoke this concubine's anger."

"Young lady, calm down!" Yumei hurriedly stepped forward to caress Shen Qingwan's back, helping her calm down, and whispered: "Young lady, please keep your voice down, it's not good for them to hear, the queen mother said Now, if there is something wrong with the dragon's heir, you have to ask the empress, you must take it easy!"

Shen Qingwan tightly grasped the brocade fabric on the small huanghuali wood table, grabbed the pink tassels on it, calmed down a cup of tea, and the anger just subsided, and said coldly: "Has the emperor recently Go to Concubine Xue?"

Yumei glanced in the direction of Zhaoyang Palace, and said with disdain: "When Concubine Xue first entered the palace, she was favored by the emperor, but she went there because of her so-called coldness and arrogance, but this glamorous temperament pretends to be It didn't take long before she was stirred into the deep water of the harem. In terms of appearance, she was ordinary. If it weren't for the support of the Duke of Zhen Guo, she might not be where she is now. It's a pity for Zhaoyang Palace Such a great location!"

"Hmph!" Shen Qingwan snorted coldly: "That is to say, the queen empress praised her and wanted her to share the same love with my concubine. Pooh, is she comparable to this concubine? Why pretend to be noble and glamorous, since she is so arrogant and conceited?" Why bother to invite the emperor to appreciate it, go and be her iceberg beauty. This man is just a novelty for those noble women. When the woman clings to him, he will stop paying attention. The one who conquers a man's heart has to be a woman as gentle as water!" Shen Qingwan raised her eyebrows and smiled coquettishly.

Yumei repeatedly said yes, and said: "Your Majesty is absolutely right, the emperor's heart will belong to you sooner or later, but your gentleness must be seen and felt by the emperor, otherwise you are pregnant now. If you can’t sleep, why don’t you let Concubine Xue take advantage of it?”

Shen Qingwan cast a sidelong glance at Yumei, her face was swollen due to pregnancy, her eyes were so crowded that her eyes almost disappeared, and she said softly: "You girl has been with this concubine for a long time, and you are finally smarter. To grab a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach, the chicken soup you stewed earlier, put it in a food box to keep warm, and go to Qiankun Palace with my concubine."

Yumei looked worriedly outside the palace gate, there were two door gods standing there, Concubine Wan might not be easy if she wanted to go out.

Shen Qingwan said nonchalantly: "Even the people sent by the queen mother can't stop this concubine and the little prince from paying their respects to the emperor!"

Shen Qingwan purposely drew delicate eyebrows and eyes. Now that she is pregnant, her body is swollen like a bun. Fortunately, it has covered up her not-so-good skin texture. It seems a bit white and fat. Shen Qingwan specially wore a suit The snow-white coat has a light pearl-pink snow-trimmed edge on the collar, and white lotus flowers embroidered on it that are not stained by mud, are elegant and delicate.

The two nuns sent by the queen mother just muttered a few words, but in the end Shen Qingwan was let out of the Purple Palace.

When Xiao Anzi saw Shen Qingwan's sedan chair, he ran all the way to pay his respects, and said with a smile, "Oh, Concubine Wan, why are you here? It will be the Dragon Boat Festival soon, and the sun is very poisonous. What can you do?" Xiao Anzi smiled like a flower, as if the incident of confronting him with a knife that day did not exist at all.

Shen Qingwan glared at Xiao Anzi. That day when he was a little eunuch cursing himself as a poisonous woman in front of so many guards, he didn't look like this, but it was just because Xiao Anzi was now the eunuch in charge beside Li Tianyou, I just have to give him face. When I give birth to a prince and the mother is more expensive than the son, it won't be too late to settle accounts with him.

For the sake of Xiao Anzi's kindness today, Shen Qingwan will spare him this time first. Shen Qingwan raised her fat fingers lightly, put a snow-white silk handkerchief on her forehead, and said to block the sun: "This The concubine also has no choice, she spends her days in the Zili Palace on a high bed with soft pillows, but she can’t even eat, and she can’t fall asleep. She is thinking about whether the emperor has a meal, and if it suits her taste, no, this concubine I really can't sit still, so I specially boiled chicken soup over here, this concubine has boiled it for several hours!"

What Shen Qingwan said was exaggerating, whether she boiled this chicken soup herself, everyone knew it well, but they didn't expose it.Xiao Anzi curled his lips secretly, unable to eat, unable to sleep, and getting so fat that he was almost as big as Xiao Anzi.

Xiao Anzi thought so in his heart, but he said: "Concubine Wan, you are the most considerate of the emperor, it happens that the emperor is free at the moment, so don't bask in the sun, the servant will inform you, please come in! "

Shen Qingwan felt more and more complacent, no matter how much trouble she caused in the palace, the emperor would never see her, who made her have a treasure that Li Tianyou couldn't let go of.

With the most beautiful smile on Shen Qingwan's face, she moved slowly in small steps, her voice was as sweet as honey, and she said with tenderness: "Concubine pays respects to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Xiao Anzi, who was carrying the food box behind Shen Qingwan, saw sour water in his stomach, wishing to vomit it out.

Before Shen Qingwan could bend her knees, Li Tianyou said, "Get up, you are heavy, you don't need to salute, if you get hurt, it won't be good."

Shen Qingwan was secretly proud, her heart was like a budding flower bud gently blooming, but a few teardrops hung on her face, she said with infinite sorrow: "The concubine was bewitched by her father a few days ago, and she did many wrong things, which caused her to die. Sister An is in danger, the concubine is really upset, it's all because the concubine is young and nothing happened, the father said he wanted to apologize to Sister An, and the concubine believed it."

Li Tianyou originally listened to her speech patiently, but now seeing her pear blossoms and rain, Xiao Anzi saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly stepped forward and interrupted: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wan feels sorry for you these days, busy with government affairs , I didn’t even set foot in the harem, so I specially boiled chicken soup and brought it over, but it took several hours! If you don’t drink it, you will be wasting a lot of Concubine Wan’s heart. Concubine Wan did it herself. Concubine Wan's tenderness and sweetness, and the filial piety of a little prince or princess are in it!"

Li Tianyou calmed down and said: "Concubine Wan, there is no need to mention the past, as long as you serve with all your heart in the future, I will let the past go!"

Shen Qingwan waited for this sentence, what are women's tears used for, they are to win the sympathy of men, few men can resist her pear blossoms and rain.

Shen Qingwan wiped away the tears on her face, took a few steps forward, filled a cup herself, held it in front of Li Tianyou with both hands, and said softly and charmingly: "Your Majesty, please use it!"

Xiao Anzi was so tender in the face of Concubine Wan who was twice as strong as him, and he couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing Li Tianyou staring at him, Xiao Anzi immediately patted his forehead and said, "Oh, look at this servant's memory. Mr. Shi said that he has something important to announce to the emperor, how could this servant forget about it, Mr. Yushi probably waited for a cup of tea in the front hall, what do you think, Your Majesty?"

Li Tianyou patted Xiao Anzi, stood up and said, "Hurry up!"

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Shen Qingwan held the soup cup in both hands and said aggrievedly: "Your majesty, concubine"

Li Tianyou seemed to have just remembered Concubine Wan, and turned his head and said: "Ah, yes, Concubine Wan, you are still here, how about this, you put the chicken soup here first, and use it when I come back, you wait here for a while, maybe There is nothing serious about Yushi, I will turn around in a while."

Shen Qingwan cast a wink at Li Tianyou, and said coquettishly: "The concubine is here waiting for the emperor to come back."

Li Tianyou escaped from Qiankun Palace as if fleeing.

Shen Qingwan was so bored, she looked here and there, and found that on Li Tianyou's imperial case, there was a corner memorial with the words "Feng Guo Gong" on it, Shen Qingwan unconsciously went to that memorial...
