Chapter 27 Why must I be a favorite concubine?
The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction, and happily gave the seafood porridge to Zhao Miaomiao.
Then, at Zhao Miaomiao's suggestion, the Queen Mother asked the small kitchen to make another bowl of pear porridge.
Zhao Miaomiao felt embarrassed to leave after finishing her meal, so she had to wait for the empress dowager's snow pear porridge to be prepared and served, and waited for the empress dowager to finish eating.
The Queen Mother was slow to eat, and just when Zhao Miaomiao was getting bored waiting, something interesting happened.
Rong Jieyu took the fishing rod that Zhao Miaomiao had dropped that day and walked into the Empress Dowager's palace. She immediately bowed her head and knelt, crying, "Please, Empress Dowager, please make a decision for me!"
Zhao Miaomiao saw this familiar combination of splendor and wealth and asked, "Rong Jieyu?"
Hearing Zhao Miaomiao's voice, Rong Jieyu looked up in surprise. Seeing Zhao Miaomiao, she was even more surprised, "You...why are you still here?"
Just now, after the morning greetings, Concubine Rong was standing in the back. Seeing that the Empress Dowager looked slightly annoyed, she felt happy in her heart, thinking that the Empress Dowager must be fed up with Su Lan.
It won’t be long before Su Lan is driven back.
Rong Jieyu thought that it would be a good opportunity to take advantage of the fact that the Empress Dowager disliked Su Lan, bring the fishing rod to complain, and then exaggerate the matter, saying that it was Su Lan who deliberately seduced the Emperor.
The concubine in the cold palace deliberately seduced the emperor, and was immediately promoted four levels to become a noble concubine as soon as she left the cold palace. When the empress dowager heard about this, she would definitely be angry.
Although the Queen Mother could not directly demote Su Lan's position, if she talked to the Emperor about this matter, it was impossible for the Emperor to completely ignore the Queen Mother's words and insist on favoring Su Lan.
Everyone knows that the emperor is a filial son and will not disobey the empress dowager.
When Su Lan falls out of favor, then it will be my chance for revenge!
Rong Jieyu had a good plan, so when she arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, she knelt down without even looking at the people at the table.
But she never expected that Zhao Miaomiao was still here!
Zhao Miaomiao looked at Su Lan kneeling on the ground and bowing deeply, and she was kneeling right in front of her. She said a little embarrassedly: "It's not even the New Year yet. You're bowing so deeply, but I don't have any red envelopes to give you. Get up quickly."
After saying that, Zhao Miaomiao remembered and turned back to ask the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, can she get up now?"
The Queen Mother had just finished her last mouthful of porridge, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said, "Get up."
Rong Jieyu stood up trembling slightly and wanted to hide the fishing rod in her hand, but the rod was too long and there was no place to hide it!
When the Queen Mother saw him, she asked, "What is that in your hand?"
Concubine Rong lowered her head, thinking about what to say.
Zhao Miaomiao said first: "Oh, it's a fishing rod given to me by the emperor."
After saying this, Zhao Miaomiao felt like something was missing and glanced at the peonies in the distance. Ah, I remembered.
Then he added: "Reply to the Queen Mother."
Queen Mother: …………
"Forget it, girl, you must be used to having no rules. Just say whatever you want."
This was said to Zhao Miaomiao, but Zhao Miaomiao looked back and saw that no one responded. Fearing that the Queen Mother would be embarrassed, she said, "Okay, then I will do whatever I want."
The Queen Mother asked Madam Gao to take the fishing rod from Concubine Rong and asked Zhao Miaomiao, "This fishing rod looks quite exquisite."
Zhao Miaomiao: "That's right. Back then, when I was little... when the emperor tempted me with this thing, I had no choice but to talk to him."
The Queen Mother: "Why do you say that? It seems like the Emperor is trying to please you."
Zhao Miaomiao: "Yes, that's it."
