Emperor Jingli smiled all the way to Zhengqian Palace.
Fusheng thought about it
and felt that this matter must be related to Xi Xiurong.
In the harem, only Xi Xiurong could influence the emperor's mood.
Very good!
The emperor is happy, and they, the servants, can feel more relaxed.
For this reason alone, they should thank Xi Xiurong a lot.
However, at this moment, Xi Xiurong Liao Qingqing didn't know that someone was going to thank her.
She was so embarrassed.
If she knew that the emperor would come back, she would never roll on the bed, let alone cry.
"Ah!" She cried in frustration in the quilt.
"Master."
He Xiang's voice came in, and she was startled. She pulled down the quilt, looked at He Xiang, and then looked behind He Xiang, fearing that Emperor Jingli would come back again.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" He Xiang asked with concern.
"Nothing."
"I heard your call, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No."
"Then will you continue to sleep?"
"No." She must not be able to sleep.
"Then I will help you get up."
"Yes." Liao Qingqing responded.
Seeing that her master was not in a good mood, He Xiang thought of the vegetable test field in the yard while dressing Liao Qingqing, and said, "Master, do you know? The vegetables we usually pick are blooming."
"Blooming?" Liao Qingqing's attention was immediately attracted.
"Yes."
"When did they bloom?"
"Today."
"Hurry up, we can't let them bloom."
"Why? The flowers are so beautiful. It's because the flowers in the northwest are so beautiful that they are presented to the emperor, and the emperor sent them to Lisheng Pavilion." He Xiang was puzzled.
"The flowers will absorb the nutrients, and the vegetables won't grow."
"What should we do?"
"Pick the flowers."
Pick the flowers?
Such beautiful flowers.
What a pity!
But He Xiang always listened to Liao Qingqing, so she quickly dressed Liao Qingqing and followed Liao Qingqing to the vegetable test field. Liao Qingqing didn't pity the flowers at all, and picked the flowers that had just bloomed, and ordered He Xiang to pick the flowers and buds.
He Xiang did as she was told.
Liao Qingqing was in the experimental stage, so she didn't let other maids in the courtyard get involved. She and He Xiang worked carefully for an hour before finishing, and then sat in the courtyard to drink tea, eat snacks, and read "Da Wei Yu Zhi".
This time she read more carefully.
When she was interested, she even forgot about tea and snacks.
Before they knew it, it was getting dark.
"Master, please turn on the lights and go inside." He Xiang came to remind her.
Liao Qingqing closed the book.
She looked up and saw a bright figure walking in.
It was Emperor Jingli.
He Xiang also saw Emperor Jingli quickly bowing: "Your Highness."
Liao Qingqing also bowed.
Emperor Jingli took the lead and grabbed Liao Qingqing's hand: "My beloved concubine, there is no need to be polite."
Liao Qingqing stood up, and her mind immediately thought of the embarrassing incident of her crying this morning. Her face became hot again, and she looked up embarrassedly, then lowered her head and said: "Your Highness came early today."
"Yes, Qingqing, are you happy?" Emperor Jingli asked with a smile.
"Of course I am happy."
"Then why didn't Qingqing look up at me?"
"..." Liao Qingqing was extremely embarrassed.
"I was still thinking about Qingqing at noon--"
Liao Qingqing immediately raised her head and looked at Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli's eyes were full of smiles.
Liao Qingqing could see that if she made a fool of herself, the first person to laugh to death would be Emperor Jingli, and then Concubine Liang.
She turned and walked towards the inner room.
Emperor Jingli followed her in.
She put "The Great Wei Domain Records" on the table.
Emperor Jingli said, "Qingqing is very cute."
Liao Qingqing was slightly startled and turned to look at Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli looked at Liao Qingqing earnestly and said, "I said Qingqing is very cute at noon."
"???" Liao Qingqing asked in surprise, "Isn't it embarrassing?"
"No, very cute."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Then why are you laughing at me?"
"I'm happy."
"Happy about what?"
"Happy, Qingqing is happy because of my kiss."
"..."
Emperor Jingli held Liao Qingqing again.
Liao Qingqing didn't know how many times she had held hands with Emperor Jingli.
But this time, she felt numb physically and mentally.
She tried hard to restrain herself and didn't show it.
But then her heart was sweet.
What happened?
At night, she lay on the bed with her eyes closed.
Suddenly, Emperor Jingli turned around and held her in his arms.
She smelled the faint fragrance of Emperor Jingli.
Thinking back to when she first came here - at that time, she wanted to follow the known life trajectory of the original owner and live a leisurely life.
Who knew that Emperor Jingli suddenly barged in.
Everything was disrupted.
She was forced to come here step by step.
Today, she suddenly felt that the beauty of the unknown life was indescribable.
She didn't seem to reject her current life.
Life.
The best and only thing to do is to live well today.
She moved her body slightly and leaned towards Emperor Jingli. She
fell asleep quickly, and the next day she vaguely noticed that her cheeks were soft and warm. She didn't care and fell asleep again quickly.
When she woke up again, she
paid her respects to Concubine Liang. Concubine Liang and others still had a warm look on their faces.
It seemed that the sisters had a good relationship.
Liao Qingqing still felt something was wrong.
But what happened to these people overnight?
Liao Qingqing observed quietly and found that Concubine Xian, Ye Zhaoyi, Wu Chongyi and other concubines would occasionally stab her and flatter Concubine Liang.
???
What is this for?
Are they starting to form a group?
She pretended not to know and watched the situation change.
No matter what the concubines said to her, she didn't respond. Concubine Liang, Concubine Xian, Ye Zhaoyi and others' fists were hitting cotton, and they were angry for nothing. They secretly rolled their eyes at Liao Qingqing, but
Liao Qingqing was not stupid.
Her palace fighting skills were not as good as Emperor Jingli, but she had a strong sense of danger.
She keenly felt that Concubine Liang and others were no longer as gentle to her as before. They probably knew her base well, so they didn't care about the "favored" period or anything like that.
The sooner it is resolved, the better.
Alas!
It will eventually come to this.
Before Liao Qingqing could figure out how to deal with it, Nanny Chang came to call her to Shouxi Palace again, and this time she was allowed to take the palace maid with her.
After arriving at Shouxi Palace, she saw the Queen Mother's poker face again.
After a few words, the Queen Mother was busy with her own things.
She was a discerning person, so of course she followed the Queen Mother to do the work.
After noon, the Queen Mother ordered her to return to Lisheng Pavilion.
So she returned to Lisheng Pavilion.
The next day, Nanny Chang came to call her again.
The third day, double.
The fourth day, again.
…Women’s hearts are as cryptic as the sea! She didn’t know what the empress dowager was thinking. When Emperor Jingli said that the empress dowager liked her, she still didn’t believe it. She hadn’t spoken a few words to the empress dowager in total. The few words the empress dowager occasionally spoke were still noble and distant, and most of the time she was finding fault with her.
She listened carefully.
The empress dowager had never lost her temper, nor had she ever punished her.
On the contrary, because she went to Shouxi Palace every day, she had less contact with Concubine Liang and others, and her life was smooth and ordinary.
Concubine Liang and others hated her to the point of itching their teeth, but they could do nothing about it.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day when Emperor Jingli would personally plough the fields.
“In two days it will be the second day of the second month. It’s the day when the emperor will personally plough the fields. Will Xi Xiurong also follow the emperor to plough the fields?” the empress dowager asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, I am going." Liao Qingqing answered while watering the flowers.
The Queen Mother remained silent and continued to play Go with Nanny Chang.
Liao Qingqing did not ask the Queen Mother.
At this time, Lai Fusheng's voice came from outside the palace: "The Emperor has arrived--"
The Queen Mother slightly side-eyed.
Emperor Jingli strode up and saluted the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother
nodded.
Liao Qingqing and Nanny Chang saluted Emperor Jingli.
Emperor Jingli came to Liao Qingqing and said to the Queen Mother: "Mother, it's noon. My son and Xi will go back after finishing their work."
"Go back."
"Your Majesty, I will take my leave." Liao Qingqing said. The Queen Mother
nodded.
Emperor Jingli took Liao Qingqing out of Shouxi Palace and asked: "Are you watering the flowers?"
"Yes." Liao Qingqing nodded.
"Aren't there maids in Shouxi Palace? Why do you have to water the flowers?" Emperor Jingli looked unhappy.
"They don't know how to water them."
"You know how?"
"Of course." Liao Qingqing explained to Emperor Jingli very seriously, "Each type of flower has a different way of watering. Watering too much or too little won't work. I've been at the Empress Dowager's place recently and read a lot of books on flower cultivation."
Emperor Jingli asked, "Don't you feel tired?"
"A little tired sometimes."
"Then do you blame the Empress Dowager?"
"Why do you blame the Empress Dowager?"
"She asks you to go to Shouxi Palace every day."
"What's wrong with going to Shouxi Palace? The Empress Dowager is an elder, and she doesn't make things difficult for me. She's much easier to get along with than Concubine Liang. "Compared to Concubine Liang and others, Liao Qingqing really likes the Queen Mother more.
"Did Concubine Liang embarrass you?"
"Not yet, but I feel that she is about to embarrass me."
???
Emperor Jingli looked at Liao Qingqing in disbelief.
Just accuse Concubine Liang of her faults based on her feelings?
Forget it!
Forget it!
This is also a privilege he gave her.
He held Liao Qingqing's hand and said, "Then you should be careful."
Liao Qingqing nodded.
"By the way, on the second day of the second month, I will personally plow the land. Are you ready?"
"It's ready."
"Well, you will follow the Empress Dowager, Concubine Liang and the others."
"What about you, Your Majesty?" "
I will follow the ministers of various ministries."
"Okay."
In the blink of an eye, it was the second day of February.
Early in the morning, Emperor Jingli and several ministers prepared to go out of the palace to plough the fields. Liao Qingqing, Concubine Liang, Concubine Xian, Ye Zhaoyi, and Wu Chongyi went to Shouxi Palace to see the Empress Dowager, while Concubine De stayed in the harem with other concubines. After
meeting the Empress Dowager, she turned her head and looked at Nanny Chang.
Nanny Chang gave Liao Qingqing and the other four people a set of clothes.
It was coarse cloth clothes.
When Liao Qingqing was dressed and came out, she saw that the Empress Dowager was also wearing blue coarse cloth clothes and had wrapped her head on purpose. She felt inexplicably closer.
She smiled at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager ignored her.
Liao Qingqing: "..."
In a blink of an eye, she saw that Concubine Liang and the other three were also wearing coarse cloth clothes. They were beautiful in a different way. They looked good in anything.
"Let's go." The Queen Mother said.
Then they each sat in two carriages and followed Emperor Jingli's carriage.
They left the palace in a grand manner.
Concubine Liang, Concubine Xian, Ye Zhaoyi and Wu Chongyi in the last carriage all looked unhappy.
Ye Zhaoyi handed tea to Concubine Liang.
Wu Chongyi said with dissatisfaction: "Why did Xi Xiurong ride in a carriage with the Queen Mother? She should have been accompanied by the Royal Concubine."
Concubine Xian replied: "Because the Queen Mother likes her."
"She is relying on her ability to seduce the Emperor!" Wu Chongyi had long been disgusted with Liao Qingqing. She used to think that Liao Qingqing would soon fall out of favor like all the other concubines, so she didn't pay much attention to her. Unexpectedly, Liao Qingqing is climbing higher and higher, which is a nuisance to her.
"Can you also learn from her to seduce the Emperor?" Ye Zhaoyi said.
"I won't learn from her!" Wu Chongyi said with disdain.
Concubine Xian replied: "Yes, people of her background don't know etiquette, so naturally she can say anything. We can't do that."
Concubine Xian was referring to Liao Qingqing's "confession" to Emperor Jingli that day.
"That's right." Wu Chongyi agreed.
Ye Zhaoyi didn't say anything, but she was extremely jealous in her heart.
Concubine Liang was thinking about how to embarrass Liao Qingqing.
Concubine Xian also wanted to pull Liao Qingqing down.
Wu Chongyi was also making her own calculations.
In one carriage, four concubines had four different ideas, but they were all aimed at one person - Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing was completely unaware.
She sat in the empress dowager's carriage, so naturally she had to pay something.
Nanny Chang didn't need to do anything, she would add some tea to the empress dowager from time to time and send her some snacks.
It can be said that she was very filial. The empress dowager
didn't react at all.
Nanny Chang also had a blank expression.
Liao Qingqing was already used to it, and when she felt thirsty, she would drink some tea.
She glanced outside secretly, and then she was happy in her heart.
Out of the palace again!
After a while, the carriage stopped, and she and Nanny Chang helped the empress dowager get off the carriage.
Turning around, she saw the vast land under the blue sky and white clouds, exuding a fresh scent, comfortable and lofty. It
's so beautiful!
She didn't dare to admire it too much, and looked after the empress dowager with Nanny Chang.
Looking at Emperor Jingli and his ministers in front of her walking towards a field.
Emperor Jingli was also wearing coarse cloth clothes, but he was more handsome than others. She thought that Emperor Jingli knew nothing about farming. After all, many emperors throughout history had only formalized the cultivation of their own fields.
But Emperor Jingli could plow steadily from beginning to end while holding the plow.
In the end, he didn't even need the help of his ministers. He held the plow with one hand and drove the ox with the other.
How stable!
He won a lot of praise from the ministers because of this!
Emperor Jingli was also very proud. He turned his head and glanced at Liao Qingqing.
Liao Qingqing secretly gave Emperor Jingli a thumbs up.
Emperor Jingli was a little proud.
"Cough!" The Queen Mother coughed heavily.
Liao Qingqing quickly withdrew her hand and calmed down.
"Let's get busy too." The Queen Mother said.
Liao Qingqing replied obediently: "Yes."
Emperor Jingli continued to plow the land with several ministers. The Queen
Mother took Liao Qingqing and others to a field in another direction to learn how to plow the land from the local representative farmers.
In fact, it was just a formality.
It showed that the Wei Dynasty attached great importance to agriculture.
With both the Emperor and the Empress Dowager out, it must be a bumper year!
But the Empress Dowager was very serious and used a hoe to plow the ground very seriously.
Liao Qingqing followed suit.
Liang Guifei and the other three were not very willing. She was reluctant to wear coarse cloth clothes, and she stepped on mud when she came here, and now she used a hoe to plow the ground.
This is something only farmers do!
They thought that the emperor was plowing the ground himself just to show his presence.
He didn't think he would really do it.
They regretted it instantly.
But the Empress Dowager was here to keep them in check, so how could they dare to be lazy?
One by one, they took the hoe, like frost-bitten seedlings, leaning here and there, and couldn't even break a complete clod of soil.
When they turned around to look at Liao Qingqing, Liao Qingqing was working very hard, as if she wanted to show off in front of the Empress Dowager.
They all immediately perked up, not wanting to lose to Liao Qingqing, but they couldn't beat Liao Qingqing, so what should they do?
At this time, Wu Chongyi and Ye Zhaoyi came up with a bad idea. If they could make Liao Qingqing embarrassed, wouldn't it show that they were incompetent?
Maybe it can make them look decent and sensible.
Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other tacitly.
Concubine Liang Guifei and Concubine Xianfei also discovered the abnormality of Wu Chongyi and Ye Zhaoyi.
But they did not stop them.
She wished that Wu and Ye would do something to attack Liao Qingqing.
This would save them the trouble.
Just wait for Wu Chongyi and Ye Zhaoyi. When
Wu Chongyi and Ye Zhaoyi were thinking about something, they suddenly caught a glimpse of a small green snake coiled between the ridges of the field. The small
green snake seemed to be asleep.
They were so scared that they almost screamed, but they held it back.
Then they looked at each other, and then looked at Liao Qingqing at the same time.
Then they made up their minds.
Ye Zhaoyi was a little timid and did not dare to move.
Wu Chongyi suppressed his fear and used the hoe to reach for the little green snake. Pretending to hoe the ground, he threw the little green snake towards Liao Qingqing.
With a "pop", the little green snake landed on Liao Qingqing's feet.
Wu Chongyi and others were waiting for Liao Qingqing to scream in disgrace.
But Liao Qingqing looked down and did not show any fear on her face. Instead, she said curiously, "Hey, little green snake, why are you lying on my feet?"
Wu Chongyi: "?" Not afraid?
Ye Zhaoyi: "?" What's going on?
Concubine Liang: "???"
Liao Qingqing did not move, and whispered: "Little green snake, what are you doing here? Spring is here, go play quickly, or you will get hurt by digging the ground, go quickly." The
little green snake seemed to understand, and did not hurt Liao Qingqing at all. It turned its head and swam towards Wu Ye and the others.
???
Wu Ye and the others were stunned.
They were already very scared when the little green snake fell asleep just now.
Not to mention the little green snake crawling towards them.
Seeing the little green snake approaching them little by little, their fear reached its peak, and they could no longer control their screams.
"Ah! Snake——"
Then they ran away in panic, knocking Concubine Liang and Concubine Xian staggering. They still couldn't control their bodies, and fell heavily to the ground with a "bang". They
looked up and saw Emperor Jingli and others rushing towards them.
They wanted to stand up, but they were too scared to move.
They turned their heads to look at the little green snake.
The little green snake was already in Liao Qingqing's hands.
Liao Qingqing leisurely grabbed the little green snake and said softly: "Ye Zhaoyi, Wu Chongyi, don't be afraid, don't scream, don't disturb it, it won't hurt anyone."
Seeing this scene, Emperor Jingli and his ministers paused.
Ministers: "!!"
Emperor Jingli: "??? "
Queen Mother: "..."
The author has something to say: -
Wu Chongyi, Ye Zhaoyi: Liao Qingqing, what are you afraid of? !
Liao Qingqing: Afraid of being poor.
Wu Ye: ???
