Chapter 16 She is really smart, worthy of being the champion of the last palace fight
Jiujiu instantly began to feel uneasy.
It can't be because of her, right?
It was not until the Queen Mother came forward and everyone stood up to kowtow that her expression looked a little better.
Just a little bit.
The Queen Mother still had a stern face, especially when her eyes swept over Jiujiu.
Jiujiu was so scared that she almost peed herself. How come this was different from what her mother and stepfather said?
[The Empress Dowager looked very fierce.]
【Ahhh, Jiujiu is going to poop. 】
[I'm going to be scared to death. 】
When Emperor Zhaoning heard this voice, he hurriedly took a step forward and said, "Mother, you are finally back. I haven't introduced her to you yet. This is Jiujiu, whom I mentioned in my letter earlier."
"It was his son who asked him to dress up as a woman."
"If you are angry, blame your son, don't blame Jiujiu or Li Fei. Jiujiu and Li Fei are both innocent and miserable."
Emperor Zhaoning felt sorry for both mother and son.
The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Emperor, you make me sound like a bad person."
"My son doesn't dare."
"I am angry with you. You gave birth to such a lovely little princess, but you didn't tell me earlier so that I could come back earlier." After the queen mother expressed her resentment, her expression softened a lot. She smiled and stretched out her hand to Jiujiu, "Jiujiu, be good, come and let the royal grandmother hug you?"
"How can there be such a cute girl like Jiujiu in the world?"
The Queen Mother didn’t care whether Jiujiu was a boy or a girl. She liked Jiujiu from the first moment she saw her because she was so delicate and cute.
As for everyone saying Jiujiu is a man...
The Queen Mother didn't think so.
Looking at Jiujiu's bone structure and appearance, she is clearly a little princess.
I guess these rough guys didn’t notice it.
She saw it with her sharp eyes.
She is so smart, she deserves to be the champion of the last palace fight.
The Queen Mother was so proud as she held Jiujiu in her arms.
On the side, Concubine Shu looked at Emperor Zhaoning with affection, her eyes full of words: "Your Majesty, during these days without you, I have been thinking about you day and night."
In the past, Emperor Zhaoning would have certainly exchanged glances and spoken a few words with Concubine Shu.
But at this moment, his attitude towards Concubine Shu was indifferent, unlike in the past. Concubine Shu felt that something had changed and wanted to ask, but it was difficult to ask because there were so many people around. She was also afraid that she was just worrying too much and being hypocritical.
The emperor hasn't changed, she must be thinking too much.
Concubine Shu shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and continued to look at Emperor Zhaoning lovingly.
Emperor Zhaoning took everyone back.
There will also be a family dinner in the evening to welcome the Queen Mother.
At the family dinner, the Queen Mother held Jiujiu in her arms the whole time and fed her all kinds of delicious food, which she did personally.
Emperor Zhaoning wanted to take Jiujiu over and hold her in his arms, but he didn't know how to say it.
I could only ask from time to time: "Mother, are your arms tired from holding Jiujiu?"
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes and said, "Emperor, you have asked this question ten times tonight. What do you want to say?"
Ten times?
Emperor Zhaoning was overwhelmed by this number, and said with gritted teeth: "I am worried that your mother will be tired, and your son wants to help you share your worries."
"The Queen Mother has no worries that need your help."
Emperor Zhaoning: “…”
I feel so wronged.
Mother, you are my mother, can't you be more considerate to your son?
At this time, Concubine Shu came forward, toasted Emperor Zhaoning with a glass of wine, and then whispered, "Your Majesty, can you come to my place tonight?"
【Bad guy.】
[She is such a troublemaker, I hate her so much, I won't go to her place. ]
The Queen Mother was not surprised when she heard Jiujiu's thoughts.
As for this person, the longer she lives, the more things she sees. What is the point of being able to hear people's voices? She has seen even more incredible things.
For example, the late emperor raped his sister-in-law.
The deceased wise king accidentally slept with his illegitimate daughter who was living among the people, and then she gave birth to a monster.
hehe--
"Good girl, the Imperial Grandmother is here."
The Empress Dowager also disliked Concubine Shu, a seductress who seduced the Emperor so much that he often forgot about state affairs. This time, she took Concubine Shu with her when she left the palace because she was worried that Concubine Shu would do something strange in her absence.
She has also been looking for an opportunity to get rid of Concubine Shu and clean up the harem.
But there was no chance.
I think it will come slowly.
Emperor Zhaoning looked at Concubine Shu without saying anything. He was wondering who to ask to investigate the matter in which Concubine Shu had caused Concubine Li to be charged with treason and treason.
Concubine Shu had no idea about this. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, good wine should not be wasted. I will toast you another glass. I wish you good health and a long life."
"……Um."
In order to prevent Concubine Shu from noticing anything was wrong, Emperor Zhaoning drank the wine in front of him.
But Concubine Shu had already noticed it.
She couldn't understand why this happened?
Usually when she toasted the emperor with wine, the emperor would hug her and clink glasses with her. The emperor didn't care about any rules or etiquette. He only cared about her.
Why did it change today?
Is she overthinking it?
Concubine Shu asked herself.
Or maybe the emperor was worried about something, so he neglected her.
She should be understanding.
But when it comes to important matters, the emperor will never neglect her.
For example, tonight, he would definitely go to her palace.
"Your Majesty, you have drunk too much. I have prepared some hangover soup in my palace. Would you like to drink it?"
"I will go back and wait for you."
After saying this, Concubine Shu left, just as arrogant as before, without caring about anyone.
The queen, who had been silent the whole time, had some opinions in her heart, but she just watched calmly and didn't say anything.
After returning to her palace, Concubine Shu complained aggrievedly: "I have been staying by the Queen Mother's side these days, being restrained every day. I can't do this or that, and I have suffered a lot of grievances."
"Don't be angry, your majesty. The emperor will be here soon and will comfort you."
"The Emperor has always loved you. He will definitely not sit idly by after knowing how much you have been suffering these days."
The girl comforted her.
Concubine Shu said: "The only one I can count on is the Emperor."
"Then, Madam, I will go and light the emperor's favorite incense, as well as your newly made bellyband. Now that we are back in the palace, you can wear it?"
"good."
Concubine Shu happily changed into a bellyband and some bold clothes, waiting for Emperor Zhaoning to come.
Today is her first day back in the palace. Although she feels that the emperor has changed a little, she thinks he will not change too much. He will definitely come and spend the night with her.
But Concubine Shu and her servants waited and waited, but Emperor Zhaoning never came.
"Why didn't the Emperor come? Is it true, as the rumors in the palace say, that he doesn't like me anymore?"
"She likes that Concubine Li. She didn't come to my palace. Did she go to find Concubine Li?"
When Concubine Shu realized this, she instantly became furious and spoke without thinking.
"What kind of charm did that bitch Concubine Li use to seduce the emperor away?"
"Who does she think she is? How dare she compete with me for the throne?"
"Isn't she afraid that I will charge her with treason and send her to the cold palace like I did last time?"
Emperor Zhaoning wanted to get an answer to the doubts in his heart, so he came to Concubine Shu's palace. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Concubine Shu smashing things, cursing, and saying words that made him unbelievable.
