Chapter 89 What’s wrong with this title?
Noble Lady Fucha came to the Old Summer Palace for the first time, and Concubine Qi was about to take her out for a walk, when Sun Miaoqing came over and the three of them started traveling together. On the way, she seemed casual and talked about the interesting story of the emperor and Zhen Huan's encounter.
There is also deliberate guidance in the words.
Concubine Qi didn't think too much about it. She even said with some envy:
"I never thought that our emperor had this side~"
"So what? After all, I'm not as favored as Sister Gong."
Mr. Fucha didn't have much brains, but that was just enough for her to take his provocative words to heart.
She listened to him, and Sun Miaoqing's goal was achieved, so she stopped talking and turned to other things.
"…I heard that Concubine Duan is here this time too. We still don't know what she looks like?"
It was Huanbi's voice.
Sun Miaoqing looked around and indeed saw Zhen Huan and Huanbi coming from another road.
The two parties met at the intersection, but Zhen Huan was one step ahead. Just as she was about to salute towards the box, she heard the sound of flapping wings in the sky.
Then something fell in front of her.
"What?"
Zhen Huan was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly. Huanbi was also afraid, but she took half a step forward and blocked the way with the round fan in her hand, "My lady, be careful."
It can be seen that it is effective for sisters to confess in advance.
"This is a wild pigeon from western Beijing, famous for its agility and swiftness."
As Sun Miaoqing spoke, she stepped forward and bowed to Zhen Huan. Because she knew this, she was not frightened. She even thought that Zhen Huan's frightened look was funny.
Zhen Huan hurried forward, saluted Concubine Qi and Noble Lady Fucha, and returned the gift to Sun Miaoqing.
Noble Fucha glanced at the wild pigeon on the ground and said, "You can kill two birds with one stone. This shows your archery skills are superb."
"The Emperor was practicing archery in the garden, and he and Prince Guo were hunting some wild animals there."
Sun Miaoqing couldn't help showing off what she knew so that people would think that the emperor favored her and informed her of everything.
When Concubine Qi saw the maid rushing over, she immediately praised him, "Your Majesty's archery skills are really accurate."
This is not the emperor's archery method.
It’s Prince Guo.
There was a smile on Sun Miaoqing's face: the little portrait was herself, the poem was herself, the red thread between Zhen Huan and Prince Guo had been broken, so Prince Guo's future infatuation must also be hers.
She waved her round fan twice and thought to herself: I am not a two-faced person like Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, and I would not bother to have any extramarital affair.
But if the other person really likes it, she won't refuse.
After all, the road to power is dangerous, more helpers mean more paths.
She was just planning for her son.
The young lady laughed and said, "Empress Hua is an excellent archer, and the Emperor also praises her endlessly."
"Why is it Concubine Hua?"
The one who was speaking was Fu Cha Guiren, and the one with a frozen smile on her face was Sun Miaoqing.
Zhen Huan was filled with joy, and Huanbi exclaimed: "I didn't expect that Concubine Hua is not only good at managing the harem, but also has such good archery skills."
"Young lady, you should quickly take the wild pigeon and inform the emperor that we will go to the Qinzheng Palace to pay our respects to the emperor later." Concubine Qi said.
"I'll take my leave."
The little girl picked up the pigeon and quickly ran back to the introduction building.
The emperor was very happy to see the result of the battle, and said to Prince Guo: "You were taught to ride and shoot by your father, but you are not as good as a little girl."
A concubine who is not as good as oneself is naturally not as good as oneself.
Prince Guo clasped his hands together and bowed, "Madam Hua is indeed the sister of a great general. She is truly a heroine. I cannot compare to her."
Nian Shilan said "Master Seventeen, thank you" but her face was full of pride.
[Hmph~]
[Of course~]
[What is the number one Batulu in Manchuria? My archery skills were taught by my brother himself, and no one can compare to me.]
The emperor saw that it was getting late and that he had enjoyed the day to the fullest. Thinking of Concubine Hua who had been talking about the snow-capped peaks on the way here, he took her hand and said:
"Old Seventeen spent so much time looking for this snow-capped emerald. Let's go and try some."
Cao Qinmo didn't dare to disturb the emperor and Concubine Hua, so she found an excuse and took the princess away.
Inside the Qinzheng Hall.
The palace maid brought the tea to the emperor, who took a sip and thought it was very good. "How is it?"
"The tea has a clear flavor and is indeed a rare and good tea."
When Nian Shilan praised, his tone was light.
The emperor thought that she had a passionate and straightforward personality. If she liked something, she liked it, and if she didn't like something, she didn't like it. It seemed that there was some hidden secret behind her answer.
Sure enough, Nian Shilan put down the teacup and started cursing in her heart.
【It tastes terrible! 】
[It's not as good as the old woman in the empress's palace, the Dragon Well before the Rain, which is covered with mold. ]
What made Nian Shilan emotional was not the tea, but Prince Guo.
It was this romantic prince who loved poetry and books, who, for the sake of his own affair which could not be exposed, helped the emperor and that bitch Zhen Huan to collect evidence of his brother's so-called treason.
[A scoundrel who harms loyal people! ]
[He deserved to be torn into pieces by five horses, but in the end he was only poisoned to death by the dog emperor. It was really easy for him! ]
Harming loyal people?
Is she talking about Old Seventeen or someone else?
The emperor was shocked: The Seventeenth Prince would actually interfere in state affairs?
At this time, the waiter reported that Concubine Qi and others had arrived.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. May your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
Concubine Qi led the three people in to pay their respects to the Emperor, and Zhen Huan and the other two saluted Concubine Hua.
Sun Miaoqing didn't see Cao Qinmo, and couldn't help but praise herself for her foresight. It was a pity that she had told Fu Cha nobleman in advance.
For the emperor's sake, Nian Shilan returned the greeting to Concubine Qi but did not offer her seat.
"You came at the right time. Old Seventeen found half a pound of Snow Peak and Green Tea. Concubine Hua drank it and praised it highly. You can try it too."
The emperor raised his hand, and the palace maids came to add stools and serve tea.
Sun Miaoqing was afraid that Zhen Huan would speak, so she spoke first: "Your Majesty is in a good mood."
"I heard that the Snow Peak Tea grows on the steep mountains in the bitter cold of the far north. It is extremely difficult to pick. There are only a dozen plants in the world. Because it is nourished by snow water all year round, the tea tastes fresh and cool. It is extremely rare."
"Your Highness is really thoughtful."
After hearing this, Concubine Qi said sincerely, "Wow, I didn't expect Concubine Gong to have such a profound study on tea."
The emperor's brows flickered: What a familiar sentence.
Shilan doesn't know anything about tea, but for her to be able to say that, she must have learned it from someone else. However, Sun Miaoqing didn't enter the palace in her previous life, so she definitely wasn't the one who said that.
Does she really know tea, or...
The emperor calmly picked up the Buddhist beads on the table and said, "Other things are fine, but it's hot today, so it took a lot of effort to bring these all the way here."
[It's tea, not ice, why would you bother with it? 】
"The prince is always thinking about it."
Nian Shilan paused, [Are my sister-in-law's feet white? ]
"Poetry and calligraphy, if you are not the head of a household, you will not know how expensive firewood and rice are. If this is the only time, then that is it. If it is the same every year, isn't it a waste of money?"
The emperor agreed with this, except that his sister-in-law's feet were white.
Sun Miaoqing smiled slightly. She never expected that the person who would give her advice in this life would be Concubine Hua.
"Your Highness is very thoughtful, Your Majesty." She stopped talking immediately.
Hold!
Sun Miaoqing cursed in her heart: How dare you play with me!
