Chapter 3 Your Emperor is Pretty Good

Chu Chengye's forehead jumped when he heard what Cheng Jin said.

This vicious woman actually wanted to hit him to death.

However, seeing Cheng Jin in front of him, although she was unhappy in her heart, she still had to thank him on her face, Chu Chengye felt that his mood immediately improved a lot.

Chu Chengye walked out of Cheng Jin's bedroom and thought of Cheng Jin's thoughts just now.

There is no woman in the world who would go to the cold palace to run.

Afraid of following him to die?

Chu Chengye smiled coldly. He had been living on the edge of a knife since he was eight years old. He couldn't think of who could kill him.

He wanted to see who it was.

After Chu Chengye left, the little palace maids and eunuchs outside the door poked their heads into the house.

Cuizhu and Chuntao, who were outside the door, pushed aside the people blocking their way and trotted into the house. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Cheng Jin was fine.

"Madam, are you okay?"

"Madam, what did the emperor say?"

Cuizhu and Chuntao spoke almost at the same time.

Cheng Jin stared at the two people and didn't say anything for a while.

Although there was the same anxious look on their faces, the things they were concerned about were completely different.

Sure enough, after a while, Chuntao lowered her head, as if she knew what she said was wrong, and then she began to change her words.

"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that the majesty was anxious and said something she didn't think was right. I deserve to be beaten." She

changed her words quickly, and Cheng Jin glanced at her.

I remember that there was a description of Chuntao in the book. She was originally a person in the palace, but she was arranged to work in the palace of the original owner.

Those who have worked in the palace since childhood are all shrewd. I don’t know when she was bribed by Hui Guiren.

She stole her jade pendant and gave it to Qu Wanxin, helping Qu Wanxin to frame her.

But she was stupid after all. She was reluctant to give up such a good item and gave a fake one.

Even the original owner went to the banquet to plead for mercy, which was instigated by Chuntao, saying that the emperor would not be able to let her go for the sake of face, and would forgive her for the sake of Cheng Taifu. After the original owner entered

the cold palace, Chuntao followed Qu Wanxin. Later, Cheng Jin’s days in the cold palace were not easy even without Qu Wanxin, and she was barely hanging on to her life.

Cuizhu accompanied the original owner since childhood and followed her into the palace. When she was in the cold palace, she blocked many open and hidden arrows for her.

"Since you know you are wrong, why don't you kneel down? Do you still have me as your master?"

Cheng Jin's voice was not loud. She had the voice and appearance of the original owner, and also had a sense of oppression.

Chun Tao was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down, "I know I am wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Chun Tao didn't expect Cheng Jin to suddenly lose her temper. Cheng Jin was completely like a rich lady who was raised in a spoiled way. She would only act on impulse when something happened, and she had no idea about the rules and etiquette in the palace.

If she was not the daughter of Master Cheng, how could she survive in this palace, and how could she be the imperial concubine.

She has lived in the palace for so many years, but she is still a maid, and she has to serve this ignorant young lady from an official family.

Cheng Jin saw her puzzled expression and instantly understood what she was thinking. She was just resenting the unfairness of fate, why did she have to be a slave.

"Since you know your mistake, that's good." Cheng Jin thought of something, her face changed instantly, with a smile on her face, she personally helped Chuntao up.

"Just now the emperor came to question me, saying that I pushed Lady Hui into the lake."

Cheng Jin pretended to be scared, and was about to fall onto the chair behind her. Fortunately, Cuizhu helped her up, her face full of fear, and let her finish her words.

"I don't know who wronged me and almost made me suffer injustice, but the emperor was very clear-sighted and did not pursue the matter. However, the emperor was very angry. I guess he was worried about Concubine Hui."

"You go to Concubine Hui's palace now and tell her that I am worried about her and I will go to see her in person someday."

Cuizhu was supposed to be the first to stand in the front of Cheng Jin's arrangements. "I will go now."

Cheng Jin stretched out her hand and held her, "Let Chuntao go, you accompany me to change clothes."

Chuntao was naturally unwilling to serve Cheng Jin, and she could get in touch with Qu Wanxin, a future favorite concubine. Although she did not succeed this time, she could also discuss future plans.

She was naturally happy to do this, and quickly agreed and went out to pass on the message.

After everyone left, Cuizhu called Cheng Jin, "My queen, go change your clothes?"

Cheng Jin stared at Chuntao's back for a while, "Go, but do something for me first, go to Chuntao's residence."

Although Cuizhu didn't understand why Cheng Jin suddenly wanted to go to a servant's room, she still did it.

Although she and Chuntao were both palace maids serving Cheng Jin, they did not live together, and Chuntao also made it clear that no one was allowed to go to her residence.

Cuizhu was stunned when she opened Chuntao's door. The room was full of jewelry, many of which were brought from the mansion by Cheng Jin before she entered the palace.

Stealing the palace's finances is a capital crime, but she actually hid so much.

She was shocked, but she still went back to explain the situation to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin nodded with satisfaction, and arranged for Cuizhu to arrange a few people to put away the things in her room that did not belong to her, and then find a few eunuchs to look for things in the palace, preferably along the route Chuntao took, and make sure she heard it.

A cat does not have to eat a mouse

immediately after catching it, but it is more interesting to scare it. After Cuizhu left, Cheng Jin was searching the room for thick clothes and shields that could be hidden on the body for self-defense, in case the clothes were too thin and she died too quickly.

When Cuizhu came back, she saw Cheng Jin putting on the winter cotton coat in the room, and hanging a copper mirror on her chest.

Cuizhu hurried over to help Cheng Jin take off her clothes, "My queen, why are you wearing so many clothes in this weather? You can't wear them like this."

Cheng Jin nodded and said to herself, "Yes, I can't wear them like this to a banquet. Go find me a set of armor."

Cuizhu: ???

Going to a banquet, wearing armor?

The Hongmen Banquet?

Although Cuizhu didn't find any armor, she did find a thick wooden board for Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin was not picky, as long as she could save her life, it would be fine.

However, it was really ugly to stuff the wooden board into her clothes,

so Cheng Jin put on a cloak. As soon as she put on her clothes, Chu Chengye sent the eunuch to come and ask for her.

Seeing Cheng Jin dressed like this, he was also stunned. After a long silence, he asked:

"I am very brave, may I ask if the queen is feeling unwell?"

Seeing someone asking this, Cheng Jin nodded like crazy, "Yes, I have a headache, backache, and stomachache. I am afraid I can't go to accompany the emperor to the banquet tonight."

"It doesn't matter."

Wei An waved his hand, and Cheng Jin's eyes lit up.

"The emperor specially arranged for me to bring the imperial physician here. We walked and watched. The emperor was concerned that the queen had been spoiled since childhood and couldn't walk such a long way, so he ordered the queen to sit in the sedan chair."

Cheng Jin couldn't laugh at all after hearing this.

Your emperor is quite good.
