Chapter 29 Why must I be a favorite concubine?
The Queen Mother pulled Zhao Miaomiao aside and talked about some random things, telling Zhao Miaomiao both explicitly and implicitly to be careful of the people in the harem and to protect herself.
The Queen Mother gave an example, "Your appearance reminds me of the year I first entered the palace. I was only fifteen years old that year and was crowned Queen and entered the palace..."
When Zhao Miaomiao heard this, she thought: Fifteen years old? No, no, that late emperor was molesting a minor!
So Zhao Miaomiao immediately asked the Queen Mother with concern: "Are you okay, Queen Mother? Did the Emperor do anything to you?"
No. 99: ...I really don't understand the host's train of thought. How can an emperor and a queen not be so good? If they are not so good, what will happen?
The Queen Mother was a little confused, but she still heard Zhao Miaomiao's tone of concern, so she smiled and said, "The late emperor was a very good person. He was older than me and took good care of me."
Zhao Miaomiao was a little curious and asked, "How much older?"
The Queen Mother: "About fifteen or sixteen years old."
Zhao Miaomiao: !!!!!!!!!!!!
The Queen Mother was fifteen years old that year. If she was fifteen or sixteen years older than her, wouldn't that mean she was in her thirties? A man in his thirties married a minor?!
Oh my God, the evil social laws and customs of ancient times!
Zhao Miaomiao held the Queen Mother's hand with eyes full of heartache, and patted it comfortingly, "It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, it's all over now. He is dead, but you are still alive.
You're rich, free, and powerful now. You're a super, invincible, single Black Widow! You can live the life you want! You can even support dozens of gigolos and make him mad!
No, make him, who is already dead, angry to death again! Come on! I believe you can do it! "
Queen Mother: ???
What does this have to do with anything?!
The Queen Mother explained, "I had a very good relationship with the late Emperor."
Zhao Miaomiao nodded silently, and patted the Queen Mother's hand again, with an expression of "I understand, I understand", "Don't say anymore, I understand everything. You can't help yourself, alas..."
The Queen Mother: ...What does she understand? She understands nothing!
The Queen Mother discovered that when talking to Zhao Miaomiao, one must not be interrupted by her, otherwise it would be easy for her to lead you astray.
Speaking your mind is the true meaning!
The Queen Mother then quickened her tone slightly and said, "I want to tell you that the year I entered the palace, I was plotted against by a concubine, and I lost my child. This left me childless for many years. So everyone in the harem has their own schemes and calculations. You are straightforward and have a high family status, so you are easily exploited."
Well, I think this girl will understand what I am saying.
But Zhao Miaomiao said: "It's okay. I don't care about family background and status. I'll just use it. If someone else needs something like this and I don't, then I can give it to her. It will save me from being a burden."
Queen Mother: ………It’s hopeless, this child is hopeless.
As she spoke, Zhao Miaomiao thought of Rong Jieyu, who had just walked away crying, and suddenly became happy. "Ah, I got it! I've thought of a good idea that will benefit you, me, and everyone else!"
Then Zhao Miaomiao hurried away, sprinting out the door. Then she remembered something, ran back, and hurriedly saluted the empress dowager. "Farewell, Her Majesty... No, well, I'm fetching myself. Your Majesty, you don't have to see me off. I'll come see you another day."
Queen Mother: …………
"Go ahead. You don't have to come at other times except meal times."
This was exactly what Zhao Miaomiao wanted. "Hehe, okay, then I'll come over during mealtimes. I'll be leaving first. Bye."
After saying that, another gust of wind blew out.
