"Then it can't be that the Queen Mother was replaced by someone else, right?"
Shi Wei's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "That's possible."
What's more, the original empress dowager was born a palace maid. She was a bit vulgar and petty, and often made jokes in her etiquette and manners.
But the woman I met before was very polite and it was obvious that she was born into a noble family. Her temperament was incomparable to that of the former empress dowager.
If she is not the Queen Mother, then who is she?
This is really hard to guess, but she must be related to Liu Jin. Otherwise, there would not be the fragrance of magnolia on Liu Jin that day.
…
Ever since Liu Zhao walked out of Laiyi Palace that day, he has not received any rewards.
The concubines in the palace all suspected that Shi Wei had fallen out of favor. After all, the emperor used to reward her with gifts every day and would occasionally visit her in the palace.
The concubines were all troublemakers. The emperor heard from the palace maids that the imperial concubine had had a quarrel with the emperor.
No wonder the emperor doesn't favor her. Those concubines think Shi Wei is really courting death and are happy to see it happen. They hope Shi Wei will break up with the emperor so that they can have a chance.
Liu Zhao quickly promoted Zhang Xiurong to be the chief Zhaoyi among the nine concubines, and rewards continued to pour into Zhang Zhaoyi's Xiangyun Palace.
Zhang Zhaoyi was so happy. She was going to be promoted to the next rank, that is, the position of imperial concubine. Then, the palace would not only care about Shi Wei, but also the imperial concubine.
Not only Zhang Zhaoyi thought so, everyone in the palace was wondering whether the emperor was really going to change his favorite concubine.
In an instant, many palace ladies and concubines turned to Zhang Zhaoyi, fawning on her and flattering her.
Shi Wei didn't care about them. She ate and drank as usual, not looking like a concubine who had fallen out of favor at all.
But she hasn't had a few days of free time.
It was said that because of her favor, Zhang Zhaoyi became arrogant and punished Chen Meiren privately, and was demoted to Zhang Guiren.
Liu Zhao originally thought that without Shi Wei, it would be easier for him to favor Chen Lulu, so after Chen Lulu was released, he let Chen Lulu sleep with him twice within half a month.
How could Zhang Zhaoyi, the newly promoted favorite concubine, be willing to do that? At most, she was allowed to sleep with the emperor once a month, and even then, she was only allowed to sleep on a cold bed. Why should Chen Lulu, the newcomer, be able to climb over her head?
So when Liu Zhao went to court, Zhang Zhaoyi immediately summoned Chen Lulu and punished her severely.
After the emperor learned about this after leaving court, he immediately demoted Zhang Zhaoyi.
A Zhaoyi was demoted because of a little beauty.
The people in the palace were surprised, and they probably knew something about it.
Soon, some people began to curry favor with Chen Lulu.
This made Chen Lulu very proud, and she was waiting for Liu Zhao to give her a promotion.
As a result, the emperor's next move left everyone confused.
Especially Chen Lulu, her face was distorted with jealousy.
Does this dog emperor have a bad memory?
When Shi Wei saw Liu Zhao appear in her palace, this was the only sentence that popped into her mind.
Shi Wei's surprised look made Liu Zhao feel a little embarrassed.
But there was no way, that fool Zhang Zhaoyi was impossible to lift up. She only knew how to be jealous and cause trouble for him every day.
If he gave her a little hint, she would open a dyeing factory and even dare to target the woman he loved most.
Unlike Gu Shiwei, she was not jealous at all and did not make things difficult for him, and she did not target his beloved Lulu. Apart from not wanting to pay attention to or respect him, she was good in every other way.
What's more, there is the Gu family. I don't know if it was because they heard the news that he ignored Gu Shiwei, but the Gu family has been treating him with disdain for a while now, and even the ministers in the court no longer listen to him.
Liu Zhao felt that he had been having an extremely hard time during this period. The affairs in the court gave him such a headache that he couldn't sleep well. Lulu asked him to accompany her all day long. Especially when he was very angry and didn't want to pay attention to anyone, Lulu cried and said that he didn't love her anymore.
Liu Zhao felt extremely annoyed when he thought about these things, but after coming to Shi Wei, his body and mind became surprisingly calm.
He could even endure Shi Wei's sarcasm.
This feeling is like a wanderer returning home.
Liu Zhao was stunned by his own thoughts.
After Shi Wei made a few cold remarks, she was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Continue to lie on the couch and treat yourself as a salted fish.
When the palace servants saw this, they all suspected that the emperor had a tendency to be masochistic. The other concubines pampered him and coaxed him every day, but he refused them, yet he actually tried to curry favor with them.
And it lasted for ten days in a row.
Shi Wei seriously suspected that he knew it was her who had climbed into the Empress Dowager's palace, and he actually came to block her every day! She couldn't drive him away.
But since he is here, of course I have to invite him to have tea. He will definitely like this tea.
——
"Ahhhh!" In the side hall of Laiyi Palace, Chen Lulu was so angry that she smashed things all over the floor.
The maid who served her carefully coaxed her, "My Lady, please stop smashing it."
Chen Lulu was madly suspicious: "Does he not love me anymore?"
"Does he not love me anymore?"
"No, he loves me. It was that bitch who seduced him."
"No, I have to get rid of that bitch right away!"
Chen Lulu had already taken action. She put a chronic poison in Shi Wei's food, and added it little by little. Her purpose was to kill Shi Wei and make it impossible to detect the poison.
Chen Lulu secretly counted the days and realized that it was time for her to take her due date three days ago.
Unfortunately, she still hadn't heard the news she was looking for. Chen Lulu began to wonder if the poison wasn't enough. Why hadn't that bitch died yet?
Chen Lulu thought about it and decided to take a risk and bet more this time. Anyway, as long as she killed that bitch, the heroine's luck would be with her and she would not die. Moreover, the emperor would forgive her, continue to love her, and make her the queen.
This time, Chen Lulu personally put enough poison in the tea. In order to prevent Shi Wei from not drinking it, she decided to deliver the tea personally.
——
Shi Wei was not surprised when she saw Chen Lulu.
Zuo Xuanxiang was extremely surprised. Ever since Chen Lulu gained favor, she rarely came to the imperial concubine's palace. When they saw her occasionally, she would hold her head high, ignore them and walk away.
Not only did he come today, he also personally brought tea and pastries. Did he do something wrong?
"What a rare guest!" Shi Wei said with a smile, "Did you come to the wrong door? The emperor's palace is not here."
Chen Lulu held back her anger and said respectfully, "Sister, I was ignorant of etiquette before, please don't blame me."
"Really?" Shi Wei looked dimly at the Pu'er tea and pastries brought by the palace maid.
Chen Lulu felt a little guilty when Shi Wei looked at her like that, but she still handed the tea to Shi Wei herself and said pitifully, "Sister Noble Concubine, please forgive me."
"I will definitely treat you respectfully next time."
Shi Wei raised the corner of her mouth slightly with a smile, and she took the teacup.
