Chapter 393 The Emperor is in trouble!
"Even if you don't know anything, don't you still have the Aijia here? This matter has been settled. Now that the Aijia has spoken and chosen you, you have to accept it. That day, A Ce said that you
You have nothing to do and think about going out to play in the palace all day long. The Ai family found something for you to do, so you gave up the idea of going out to play in the palace." The queen mother put on the airs of the queen mother, with a serious expression.
Qin Zhao was speechless for a moment: "But I can only make trouble and can't do serious things. It's too late for the queen to regret it now."
How can she be so arbitrary and domineering? The Queen Mother's temperament is exactly the same as Xiao Ce's. Anyway, she just says what she says and doesn't give anyone a chance to refuse.
"It is precisely because you don't know anything that you have to learn. You are still young. When Ace comes to the throne in the future, you will also have to learn to take care of the affairs of the harem. There will always be someone in charge of the harem. The Ai family is getting old, and Concubine Shu cannot be relied on.
The Ai family is counting on you to help A Ce take care of the harem, so that A Ce can concentrate on political affairs in the previous court." The Queen Mother said sincerely, hoping that Qin Zhao could understand her good intentions.
Qin Zhao originally wanted to refuse, but as soon as he heard the Queen Mother's words, he knew that the Queen Mother was far-sighted. Everything the Queen Mother did was for Xiao Ce, and more importantly, for Da Qi.
As Xiao Ce's good wife, shouldn't she do her best?
"I'm afraid that Concubine Shu doesn't like me, and a lot of trouble will happen." Qin Zhao expressed his concerns, which was the reason why she didn't want to take this job.
The Queen Mother laughed when she heard this: "It doesn't matter if Concubine Shu doesn't like you, as long as the Aijia likes you. Just go ahead and do it, the Aijia will support you!"
Qin Zhao scratched his head: "Well, the Queen Mother gave me such a good opportunity, and I am stupid if I don't know how to grasp it. I will definitely do my best. If there is anything you don't understand, just come to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother
Don’t despise me.”
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with Qin Zhao's answer, "The Ai family has confidence in you. If you do well, maybe you can make the emperor and Concubine Shu change their views on you."
What else does Qin Zhao not understand after hearing this?
The Queen Mother is not only for Xiao Ce's good, but also for her own good. If she can perform well, she will not only gain Xiao Ce's reputation, but also increase her own reputation in the East Palace, the harem, and even among the people.
After leaving Cihe Palace, Bao Zhu still couldn't believe that the Queen Mother had actually entrusted such an important matter to Liang Di.
"The Empress Dowager treats Liangdi really well. This was originally a good thing, but I was afraid that if Liangdi didn't do well, she would cause trouble, especially Concubine Shu..." Baozhu was both happy and worried.
"This time, the Queen Mother did not let Concubine Wu take charge of the New Year affairs, but instead asked Concubine Shu to take charge of it. This will make Concubine Wu dissatisfied. In addition, Concubine Wu does not like me, and the news that I assisted Concubine Shu came to the news.
Concubine Wu has heard that Concubine Wu is probably going to complain to the emperor again. Let's see how the emperor reacts?" Qin Zhao said, calculating the days in his mind, the twelfth lunar month was coming.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, many New Year matters will be put on the agenda. There are many people in the harem and the affairs are complicated. It may not be a good thing to have this matter, at least it will stop you from living a leisurely and comfortable life.
What she fears most is that the medicine Luo Qing prescribed for her is too strong. If her health fails, even if she wants to perform well in this new year, there will be nothing she can do.
In fact, she herself was a little surprised as to why the Queen Mother valued her so much and actually gave her the opportunity to participate in such a big event...
**
Qin Zhao's guess was correct. When he learned that the New Year celebrations were in charge of Concubine Shu, and that Qin Zhao was co-organizing it, a lot of turmoil immediately arose in the harem.
Firstly, in previous years, Concubine Wu was in charge of this matter. Secondly, Qin Zhao’s identity was just that of the Crown Prince Liangdi. It would have made sense if she was the Crown Princess. However, Qin Zhao was only Liangdi. There were many problems in letting a Liangdi assist in such important harem affairs.
Everyone is dissatisfied.
Of course, the one who had the biggest reaction was Concubine Wu.
Concubine Wu knew that it was useless to go to the Queen Mother. The old pious woman clearly wanted to reduce her power, and she was promoting Concubine Shu, creating opportunities for Concubine Shu and giving Qin Zhao a chance to perform.
As a noble concubine, she became a decoration and a joke in the harem.
She went to the emperor and cried, saying that the emperor had a headache that day. After hearing Concubine Wu's sharp cries, her headache became more severe.
"This matter is decided by the queen mother. Since the queen mother has made the decision, you should listen to her. In the past years, you have been doing the hard work. You can take a break this year, why not?" The emperor still coaxed patiently.
Concubine Wu became even more angry when she heard the emperor's understatement. She said angrily: "How many people are watching my concubine's jokes now? It's just that the emperor doesn't fall in love with me, but he is also laughing at me. In the past years, I was the master of my concubine."
Regarding the affairs of the Sixth Palace, if Concubine Shu and Qin Liangdi take away these errands this time, how will I get a foothold in the harem in the future? Your Majesty, I am your personally named concubine. Now that I am being treated like this, Your Majesty
Don’t you feel sorry for Chenchen, my concubine?”
The emperor sighed: "I have said that this matter will be decided by the Queen Mother. If you have any objections, please go to the Queen Mother. I am tired, so please step aside."
Concubine Wu was furious when she heard this, "Does the Emperor dislike my concubine anymore?"
The emperor didn't say anything, so Concubine Wu rushed to the emperor and shook his arm vigorously: "The emperor is speaking..."
The emperor's eardrums were buzzing because of her noisy voice. He wanted Concubine Wu to stop shaking, but found that he couldn't open his eyes.
By the time Concubine Wu realized something was wrong, the emperor had already lost consciousness.
Concubine Wu turned pale with fright and screamed: "Come here, the emperor is in trouble!!"
The news of the emperor's sudden coma did not spread in the palace. This was a major event and no one dared to discuss it.
Xiao Ce also rushed to the Yangxin Hall as soon as possible and issued a hush-up order. The people served in the Yangxin Hall were all excellent people, and Xiao Ce was quite prestigious, so no one dared to have any objections.
If the emperor cannot recover this time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne next, who would dare to easily offend the future emperor?
At this time, Imperial Physician Feng helped the emperor to diagnose his pulse. He stepped forward and asked, "How is your father?"
"The Emperor just fainted suddenly due to stimulation, and then woke up and went back to sleep. Your Highness, please rest assured that the Emperor is fine and needs to rest. However, the Emperor's head ailments are becoming more and more serious, and the number of illnesses has become more and more frequent in recent days.
, you can't accept any more stimulation, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous." Imperial Physician Feng replied truthfully, with a slightly solemn look on his face.
Xiao Ce knew from the expression on Doctor Feng's face that his father's condition was not that optimistic.
He opened his lips coldly: "I heard that only the imperial concubine was there to serve my father when he fainted?"
"This...I dare not make any rash comments." Doctor Feng lowered his head.
Xiao Ce raised his lips and said, "Concubine, please come out."
