"What's going on with the Imperial Household Department? My sister is so young, why did they give you a turquoise hairpin?"
After saying that, he glanced at the queen and several older concubines beside her.
She deliberately raised her voice, "This turquoise requires a mature temperament to wear. At your tender age, I'm going to say something you don't want to hear. You don't deserve the old-fashioned look of this turquoise.
Only older women can wear turquoise with such elegance, Your Majesty, don’t you think?
Another trick of using age as a tool to pull people down.
The Queen is two years older than the Emperor and is now over thirty years old.
Although she was well maintained, she had given birth to only one child.
Coupled with years of hard work and heavy thoughts, it is inevitable to be sad and worried.
There are already fine wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his face looks a little droopy.
On her head, she wore a golden hairpin inlaid with a turquoise the size of a bean.
The hairpins on the heads of several concubines nearby also had turquoise on them to a greater or lesser extent.
For a moment, the room was filled with awkwardness.
The oval-faced concubine curled her lips in a subtle smile, hiding her achievements and fame.
Obviously, she was deliberately reminding Concubine Shu to make her notice Qiao Luoluo's turquoise jewelry.
He just borrowed Concubine Shu's knife to kill someone.
Qiao Luoluo said softly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. This turquoise has the effect of warding off evil spirits, removing impurities, and calming the internal organs.
It is also a symbol of grandeur and elegance, and should not be worn by people who are not graceful, calm and generous.
My concubines are young and unstable, so it is inevitable that they will be naughty.
I think the emperor gave me this hairpin because he wanted to use the luxury and calm aura of turquoise to calm down my impetuousness.
I hope this will allow me to be as calm and peaceful as Your Majesty soon, and serve the Emperor more skillfully."
She answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, but respectfully.
He praised the turquoise and the ladies who wore turquoise, and at the same time, he also criticized Concubine Shu.
We wear turquoise, which is elegant and luxurious, but you don’t wear it. You are petty and complaining.
Finally, let me emphasize the key point: this was given by the emperor.
Hahaha! You just scolded the emperor!
The corners of Concubine Shu's mouth twitched suddenly, and her eyes shot out like knives, wishing she could pierce Qiao Luoluo's body!
The feud has been settled.
But Qiao Luoluo was not afraid, because she was not here to live in peace with them.
She came for revenge and to complete her mission.
From the moment the imperial edict was issued, they became lifelong enemies.
She just wanted to complete the task and leave quickly. Who wanted to talk to them?
What's more, since she is a green tea concubine, she should look like a green tea~
Naturally, you can do whatever you want to do to make people happy.
Who the hell is spoiling you?
The Queen quickly tried to smooth things over, "Well, today we have met the newcomers. From now on, we must all get along well and serve the Emperor together.
Don't get jealous and cause trouble for the Emperor."
After saying this, she waved her hand and the palace maid brought out a jade ruyi with a bug carved on it.
Qiao Luoluo recognized it; it was called a katydid.
The Book of Songs says, "The wings of the locust are fluttering, which is a good omen for your descendants."
It means to reproduce and have many children and good fortune.
Haha, it’s really poisonous.
Everyone in the palace knows that the emperor has only one princess and it is difficult for him to have children.
The purpose of giving her this locust jade ruyi was to urge her to have a baby.
It was ironic that if she didn't have children in the future, no matter how beautiful she was now or how much the emperor loved her, it would be useless.
In the end, she became just like them, a jealous woman in the deep palace with an ugly face.
The Queen smiled kindly and said, "Noble Lady Rou, you can play with this Ruyi every day to increase your fortune.
You must remember that from now on you are the emperor's concubine. You must be diligent in the affairs of the palace and provide the emperor with a long line of descendants."
Qiao Luoluo took the jade ruyi, and the concubines around her laughed at her, showed disdain, and rolled their eyes to the sky.
Amidst the mocking laughter, she knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will serve the Emperor with all my heart and will never let you down."
-
In the Golden Palace, all the ministers knelt for a long time and refused to get up.
Qi Xiuyuan sat upright on the dragon throne, his face as dark as iron.
The rattling of the priceless white marble Buddhist beads in his hand became the only sound in the hall.
The atmosphere was solemn and dark clouds were hanging over the city.
Here they come again, this bunch of old-timers are forcing him to appoint a crown prince.
It is euphemistically called stabilizing the foundation of the country, but who doesn’t know that?
They had already chosen their new masters and lined up.
He was forced to establish an heir when he was less than 30 years old.
Can he just die after he has an heir?
He might as well give up his throne to them!
Haha, a bunch of old guys.
At this time, all the court officials in the hall had been kneeling on the ground for more than half an hour, not saying a word, just confronting the emperor.
Qi Xiuyuan patiently accompanied them in performing for a while, and then felt very annoyed.
After finishing a pot of tea, he nonchalantly twirled his Buddhist beads, raised his eyelids, and said in a deep voice, "How long will my dear ministers continue to kneel?"
A black-bearded official said, "When the Emperor agrees to appoint a successor, we will rise up! Please consider the country and appoint a crown prince as soon as possible so that the country can be restored to its rightful position!"
Other officials echoed, "I second the motion."
Qi Xiuyuan suppressed his anger and curled the corners of his lips coldly, "What if I don't agree?"
The old man with the black beard immediately jumped up, looking like he couldn't poop, and shouted, "Then I will die to show my loyalty to the king and my patriotism!"
After saying that, he actually went crazy and crashed into a pillar not far away. His head was bleeding and he lay on the ground groaning.
All the civil and military officials in the court made sharp explosions, and for a moment the hall was filled with cries, screams, begging the emperor, and calling for the imperial physician to save people.
