Daqi Emperor's Concubine

Chapter 37 The Emperor Knows, The Queen's Response
"Your Majesty, Mako promised to be punished by the Queen to kneel in [Kunning Palace], and it has been more than an hour." Seeing that Qi Hongyi had already reviewed the second pile of memorials, Huiying hurriedly said when he was drinking tea for a break The news I just got. "What? Then why was she punished by the queen to kneel?" Qi Hongyi immediately put down the glass when he heard this, but he had to ask the reason first.

"Back to the emperor, because the empress asked Bao Baolin to go to the [Kunning Palace] to pay his respects, not just on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, but the young master refused, so he was punished by the empress to kneel. Now Xiao Bao The lord was kneeling in the main hall of [Kunning Palace], and the queen empress ordered the earth dragons in the hall to be destroyed, leaving only a palace maid watching her." Hui Ying continued.

"Li Shunlai, prepare the dragon chariot and drive [Kunning Palace]!" Qi Hongyi immediately stood up and ordered.Hui Ying has already explained all the situation, and he is also aware of the situation of Saber Qingwu, so he must go to rescue her immediately.

"Empress, the emperor's dragon chariot is coming to [Kunning Palace], please prepare to pick it up!" Hong Guo said to the empress who was eating lotus seed soup when she heard the news from the maid.

"Really? Qingguo, hurry up and put a new bun on Bengong, and then put some rouge on Bengong, so that Bengong's complexion will look better. Move faster, I will go out to pick you up!" Hearing The empress immediately put down the spoon about what her confidant servant girl reported, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and quickly ordered.Although she only met the emperor in the morning, she is of course happy to know that the emperor is coming over now, and of course she wants to see the emperor with her beautiful side.

"Your Majesty, according to my servants, the emperor should come here for the sake of the young master Mackerel. Presumably, the emperor has already received the news that she was punished by the empress to kneel." Hong Guo was not so optimistic, so she said while applying rouge to the queen.

"Really? If that's the case, that's fine. It's just a good time to see how the emperor treats Saber Qingwu, and see how important Saber Qingwu is in the emperor's heart!" Because even though Saber Qingwu never went to bed However, she was the place where the emperor went the most among so many concubines, so this woman must have something special that caught the emperor's attention.Even though it was just a whim that she made Ma Qingwu kneel down, it's good to take this opportunity to see some things clearly!
"The concubine sees the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" No matter what she thinks in her heart, she will not show it on the surface, and even though she is a queen, she is the same as other concubines when the emperor comes. I feel happy.As a good wife, even if she is jealous and jealous, it is all in her heart, and she will not show it on the surface.

"Okay, Queen, I told you not to be too polite. Since you are pregnant with a child, then don't be too polite. I just came over to take a look." Qi Hongyi helped the Queen up and led her inside, naturally He saw Mackerel Qingwu kneeling there at a glance, she still stood up straight, even though she had been kneeling for more than an hour, she still didn't bend down easily!
"Your Majesty, the concubine just told my sister that she should not only come over to salute on the [-]th day of the lunar new year, but also come to [Kunning Palace] to walk around in normal times, but she said that she doesn't like walking, so she came to salute on the [-]th day of the new year." , It’s just out of courtesy. Your Majesty, you said that they are all sisters of your own family, and it is necessary to move around at ordinary times. Why do you think she is so stubborn?” The queen did not wait for the emperor to ask, she took the initiative to say She knew the emperor would definitely ask about the reason for the punishment of kneeling.

"Really? Qingwu, why don't you want to come to the queen's [Kunning Palace]? It's normal for concubines to walk around with each other, especially since she's still a queen, so you should get closer. Why don't you Don't want to? Can you tell me what you think?" Qi Hongyi asked while looking at Saber Qingwu's still indifferent expression.

"When I return to the emperor, I am a concubine for the sake of freedom. Because in my one-acre three-point land, I have to be more comfortable. Although the palace is very big, there are not many places that truly belong to me and that make people feel a sense of belonging. And the empress should also know that not only did I not come to [Kunning Palace], but also the residence of other concubines, I have never been there, and I stay in my [Clear Water Pavilion] all day long, because I'm lazy, so I don't bother to come out and walk around." Ma Qingwu replied.

"Queen, I think it's the same. Mako promises that she has never been to other places, and has always stayed in her own residence. So, since she is willing to come here on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year [Kunning Palace] Saluting to you is already very difficult, so don't worry about other things, let her come and salute to you." Of course Qi Hongyi knew what Ma Qingwu was thinking, so if he asked again at this time, it would be okay. Just let the queen listen to her answer.And this is just a trivial matter, so there is no need to worry about it too much.

"Your Majesty, even though this is the case, I still hope that my sister can come to [Kunning Palace] more often. I not only hope that she will salute to my concubine, but also hope that she will not leave our circle for too long. After all, everyone is the emperor. The concubine of the concubine also has a lot to say to each other. If she is the only one who avoids it, it will appear that we have excluded her, so it is better to walk around more. Well, sister, you don’t have to Kneeling, this is enough for today, Hongguo, go and help the mackerel up!" The queen was a little annoyed in her heart, and she knew that this matter was over!
And even though it was a whim in the beginning that the queen asked Maca Qingwu to kneel, but now, she can also see that Maca Qingwu holds a very important position in the emperor's heart.Although the emperor did not directly speak for her, but he was pleading for her without any trace, then of course he must understand her meaning and know what to do next!
