"Your Majesty, may your Majesty be well." Concubine Liang led a group of concubines to pay their respects.
"Everyone, stand up." Emperor Jingli said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Concubine Liang and the others stood up.
Emperor Jingli strode to the upper seat and turned to sit down.
His eyes swept around the room.
He paused for a moment on Liao Qingqing.
Then he fell on Concubine Liang and asked, "My dear, what are you talking about? I thought there was no one in your palace."
"Your Majesty, the morning ceremony should have ended." Concubine Liang smiled and sat on the chair next to Emperor Jingli, and said softly, "It's just that the sisters talked so much that they forgot the time, so it's a little later than usual. Now that we have agreed, let's go." This was said to the concubines.
"No hurry." Emperor Jingli said first.
Concubine Liang looked at Emperor Jingli in surprise.
Emperor Jingli said, "I just heard you mention the Double Ninth Festival." Concubine
Liang said calmly, "Your Majesty, that's right."
Emperor Jingli asked again, "Have you discussed praying for your mother?"
"Yes."
"Have you arranged everything?"
"It has been arranged."
Emperor Jingli asked casually, "How are they arranged?"
Hearing this, Concubine Liang was slightly stunned.
Emperor Jingli never asked about the harem praying for the empress dowager on weekdays, so why did he suddenly ask today?
She had no choice but to tell the truth.
After hearing this, Emperor Jingli's face was calm, and he turned to look at Liao Qingqing, who happened to be looking at Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli rolled his eyes at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing: ? ? ? What do you mean?
Emperor Jingli looked at Concubine Liang again and said, "My dear, this arrangement is not bad." Concubine
Liang smiled.
"But..." Emperor Jingli changed the subject. Concubine
Liang looked at Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli said, "It's just a little flawed." Concubine
Liang said humbly, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
Emperor Jingli said, "Filial piety is what every young man should do. Concubine Liang should not limit embroidery, writing blessings, and scriptures to a few concubines, but should distribute them to all concubines."
"Your Majesty,
you don't know." "What do I not know?"
"Your Majesty, I don't know. I divide the work according to the specialties of my sisters. For example, I may be able to do needlework, but if it comes to writing, it's a bit disappointing."
"My dear, don't belittle yourself. The Buddha will not think you are ugly."
Concubine Liang: "???" What is this? Saying that she is ugly?
Emperor Jingli said again: "Sincerity is the key to success. Don't be bound by appearance."
"???"
"Redistribute it, and every concubine should get one."
"..."
Emperor Jingli picked up the celadon tea bowl beside him, picked up the tea lid with an elegant posture, and slowly skimmed off the tea leaves with the edge of the lid, revealing the clear tea.
He drank leisurely.
With a look of "it depends on your performance".
Concubine Liang gritted her teeth secretly, and had to redistribute the embroidery, calligraphy, and scriptures under the eyes of Emperor Jingli. What
was distributed to Liao Qingqing was no longer the general "scriptures".
Instead, it was refined to a certain scripture and a certain volume.
Sure enough, there was a cat's peeve.
Liao Qingqing subconsciously looked at Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli did not look at Liao Qingqing, but nodded to Concubine Liang with satisfaction.
Concubine Liang specifically asked again: "Your Majesty, how about this allocation?"
"Not bad, Concubine Liang is doing the work, I am relieved."
"..." Since you are relieved, why do you want to redistribute?
Emperor Jingli put down the tea bowl in his hand and said: "Okay, I just came to see you. Since you are busy, I will leave."
"..."
Emperor Jingli stood up.
Amid the respectful farewells of the concubines, he turned his head to look at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing raised her head for some reason.
Just seeing Emperor Jingli looking at her, her beautiful lips moved twice, and she turned around and walked away steadily.
???
It seems like she is speaking lip language again?
What is she saying?
So stupid?
So stupid!
Yes!
This man is scolding her for being so stupid!
Fuck!
Inexplicable!
She suppressed her anger and stood up, looking at Concubine Liang, who seemed to be even angrier than her, saying, "It's nothing, let's go."
Then she left with the help of her personal nanny.
She turned to look at Concubine De.
Concubine De lowered her head and left.
Then she followed him.
As soon as she entered the courtyard of Lisheng Pavilion, she saw Fusheng standing at the door.
He Xiang said, "Master, the emperor is here."
"Yes."
Liao Qingqing walked slowly to the door. When she heard Fusheng say that Emperor Jingli was in the inner room, she walked towards the inner room and saw Emperor Jingli sitting on the couch, reading a memorial. She walked slowly forward and said, "I have seen the emperor."
Emperor Jingli said without raising his head, "Pour some water."
"Yes."
After pouring the water, Liao Qingqing stood in front of the couch without moving.
Emperor Jingli looked up at Liao Qingqing in surprise.
His deep and stern gaze made Liao Qingqing dare not act rashly.
She slowly sat down in front of Emperor Jingli and asked, "Your Majesty, did you say anything to me in Linhua Palace just now?"
"Yes." Emperor Jingli responded softly.
"Your Majesty, what did you say?"
"So stupid."
"???" Really! This emperor is really different. He looks like he cares about the world, but he is so childish. She suppressed her dissatisfaction and asked, "Your Majesty, why do you say I am stupid?" "
Are you smart?" Emperor Jingli asked back.
"I think I am quite smart."
"I admire your blind self-confidence." Emperor Jingli snorted.
"???" What kind of man is this!
"Liang Guifei is making trouble for you, do you know?" Emperor Jingli asked.
"I know a little bit." Liao Qingqing said.
"Then what are you going to do?" Emperor Jingli glanced at Liao Qingqing idly. "Talk to Concubine
Liang about it," Liao Qingqing said.
"Can you win over Concubine Liang?" Emperor Jingli asked.
Liao Qingqing thought about it. Concubine Liang looked very gentle, but in fact she was a tough character. She really couldn't beat her.
She said honestly, "No way."
"How stupid." Emperor Jingli said, "She gave you the scriptures to copy. Once you start copying, there is a lot of room for maneuver. The simplest thing is that she can give you a mountain of scriptures, making it impossible for you to complete the task. Then she can put any hat on you, such as being careless, lazy, unfilial to the Queen Mother, etc., and you will be speechless. Not only will you be offended for nothing, but your reputation will also be affected. By then, everyone in and outside the palace will know that you are lazy, stupid, and unfilial."
"..." This emperor has a strong skill in palace fighting.
"What can you do?" Emperor Jingli asked.
Liao Qingqing asked back: "Your Majesty, what do you think I should do?"
"I should have just asked Concubine Liang directly which scripture to copy, which volume and which chapter. If I couldn't finish copying it, I should have told her directly."
"Just told her directly?"
"Just told her directly." Emperor Jingli picked up the tea bowl on the table, sprinkled the tea leaves on it, and said: "You are a favored concubine. Who are you afraid of? You should act like a favored concubine and be a little arrogant. Concubine Liang will be jealous of you. I will support you."
"???" This Emperor Jingli is different from the emperor in the TV drama. At the same time, Liao Qingqing thought of another question and asked: "Your Majesty, am I a favored concubine?"
"Of course." Emperor Jingli said without hesitation.
Liao Qingqing said honestly, "I think I am not."
"How is it not?" Emperor Jingli asked with a smile, amused by Liao Qingqing's sudden silliness, and lowered his head to drink tea.
Liao Qingqing thought for a while and said, "You have never visited me. A concubine who has not visited me is not considered a favored concubine."
"Ahem——" Emperor Jingli, who was drinking water, was choked.
The author has something to say: ——Emperor
Jingli: Ahem!
