Daqi Emperor's Concubine

Chapter 20 The Queen's Response

"Hongguo, you are saying that the emperor asked Bao Qingwu to live in [Bi Shui Pavilion], but only sealed her as a promise. What do you mean by this?" Just as Bao Qingwu walked around here to watch, the queen also I got the news, so I was a little surprised that this beautiful girl was sealed and agreed, but lived alone in the [Clear Water Pavilion] that no one lived in for a long time, because I couldn't guess what the emperor thought!

"Your Majesty, according to the news from the eyeliner, after the Emperor came out of the [Royal Study Room] last night, he only stayed in the [Hall of Mental Cultivation] for a quarter of an hour, and Mako agreed to leave, and today's 'Yuanyang Pa' also did not." I didn't send it over, so the slave thinks she hasn't come to bed yet!" Of course, Hongguo knew what her master was wondering about, so she told her the news.

"Really? It seems that there will be another play this afternoon. In this palace, it is usually boring. Occasionally watching a play can make people entertained for a long time. And ah, the emperor's movement , everyone is paying attention, so when Mako promises to come to pay his respects in the afternoon, the four of Concubine Zhen and the others will definitely say something." The queen said after turning a page of the book.

[Bi Shui Ge], at this time Xiao Linzi has already gone to pick up the food, and the promised portion is six dishes and one soup, which is probably enough for three people to eat, of course Mackerel Qingwu can't finish it, so she After eating two dishes, he made two bowls of soup and drank the remaining dishes for the four servants to eat.Because the food for the servants depends on how much the master eats, and how much is left for them.However, when Ma Qingwu asked Xiao Linzi to carry the food box and came back, he ordered another ten catties of flour, and asked Xiao Xizi to use a small part of the flour to make five steamed buns and steam them. I ate the buns.

After taking a nap, Ma Qingwu took a shower and took Magpie to [Kunning Palace], while Xiao Xizi and Xiao Linzi carried her.Fortunately, even if it is agreed in the palace, there are shoulders. Although only a chair is fixed with a stick, and then the waiters lift it one by one, at least the master sitting on it will be more comfortable, but the lift The shoulders of the people will not be too easy that is.

"My concubine sees the Empress Empress, and I wish you all the blessings and peace! I have seen Concubine Zhen and Concubine Xue, and the two empresses are safe!" Ma Qingwu saluted the three empresses sitting on the seat and side, because she did not expect Zhenfei Concubine Concubine and Concubine Xue are also in [Kunning Palace], logically speaking, this is not the time to pay her respects. Generally speaking, Concubine Concubine pays her respects in the morning, but it's because Xiu Nu has just entered the palace and has just been titled. So I have to tidy up my residence, and I came to see the queen in the afternoon.

"Okay, Sister Mako, you can sit down quickly, I don't think the queen will mind. After all, you are the first person to be granted the title of promise, but you live alone in the same place!" The queen also said Concubine Zhen spoke before she spoke. Although her words were tepid, why didn't she hide her wit?
"Going back to Concubine Zhen, it's because I agreed with the emperor to give me a separate residence, because I like to be quiet, and the emperor doesn't have to hire a concubine to serve me for a year. The terms of exchange between the concubine and the emperor." Macabara Qingwu said truthfully, without any embarrassment or concealment.

"Really? It turns out that sister, you have already thought about it. This first step has found a separate residence for you, and it is only exchanged for a year of solitary vacancy! But I think sister, you are still young. So one year is nothing to you, after all, the emperor has already said that the next draft will be in nine years!" Concubine Zhen continued, her words became even more obvious Ironically, Concubine Xue and the Empress still did not speak.

"Is that so? But Concubine Zhen, I think there are 21 concubines in the palace, including six beautiful girls who have never served in bed. No matter who the emperor likes, it is his own preference. We can't say anything." Isn’t that what you said?” Maca Qingwu continued to speak bluntly, countering Zhenfei’s sarcasm directly.

"Okay, okay, two sisters, each of you should not say a word! Since we are both the emperor's concubines, no matter what level we are, we are the emperor's wives and concubines, and we must live in harmony. Things are already busy enough, as his wives and concubines, of course we have to let him relax, so no matter who he likes, it is the same. Sister Mako, since you were arranged by the emperor in [Clear Water Pavilion], where is the distance from other The palace is far away, so you have to go out and walk around frequently, after all, the palace is very big!" The queen spoke at this time after she had seen enough of the show.

"Yes, empress! Then empress, I have already come to pay my respects. If there is nothing wrong, I want to leave, because I have just moved into [Clear Water Pavilion], and there are still many things to pack." Mackerel Qingwu Having completed his task, he bid farewell to the Queen.Compared to chatting here and there with the three women, Ma Qingwu prefers to return to her own territory and feel more at ease.And she had to give money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs so that they could find someone to build a bridge for her.

"Okay, then you can go back! You can come here often in this palace, and we sisters can talk to each other, otherwise, it will be very boring to stay alone like this." He said that, but since she said that, of course he wouldn't keep her, anyway, what should be said has already been said.

For the next ten days, Qi Hongyi continued to pamper the remaining show girls, and then gave them grades one by one, and arranged them to live in various palaces.Apart from Ma Qingwu, only the daughters of the two county magistrates were granted the title of promise. The lowest among the others are all talented women, while the highest is Jieyu, the daughter of Wen Taifu, Wen Shuyi, and the daughter of the great general. An Baozhen.However, only the two of them have their own courtyard, and the rest of them live in the same courtyard with others. There are two people in a courtyard, and there are also three people in a courtyard.

Like Maca Qingwu, who obviously agreed, but lived alone in the coolest [Clear Water Pavilion] built on the water, he was really the only one.But it's not like the emperor treats her differently, because since that time when he became a bed attendant, the emperor has never checked her brand again, but the two Jieyu went there more often.And Maca Qingwu went to see the queen by himself, only once, and it seemed that he stayed in the room all the time, and didn't come out for a walk, so the other concubines also had their own considerations.
