Chapter 618 Pity
Li Yunv sneered when she heard this: "Don't you say that you are a person who follows people's influence? Qin Zhao has no name, no status, and lives in the palace. He has never been canonized. How can you associate with such a person? Are you not afraid of being laughed at?"
Wu Baolin didn't want to argue with Li Yunv: "It's not enough to talk about it. If I were the younger sister, I would live my life well and don't get involved in other people's affairs. You can't handle your own affairs, so you still want to interfere with others?"
I don’t even want to see if I have the ability.”
After that, she asked Lan Ying to see the guests off.
Li Yunu left the West Wing Palace with a sullen face and was very angry.
Thinking about the time when she was also Cheng Hui, if it weren't for Qin Zhao, she wouldn't have been demoted. Now she wouldn't be just a little imperial concubine, so Wu Baolin wouldn't be able to ride on her head and run wild.
She was looking forward to Qin Zhao falling from a high place every day. On the day the emperor ascended the throne, Qin Zhao became the laughing stock of the entire harem. But now Qin Zhao has lived in Jinyang Palace again. He can still live in the main palace without fame or status. This is
The biggest joke in Daqi’s harem.
While she was feeling depressed, Xu Cairen came out of the East Wing Hall, and the two of them bumped into each other.
"Where are you going, Sister Xu?" Li Yunv took the initiative to talk to Xu Cairen.
"I heard that Sister Qin moved into Jinyang Palace. I went to see Sister Qin."
As soon as Xu Cairen said this truth, Li Yunu's face turned dark immediately.
"I thought Sister Xu was an ambitious person, why did she imitate Sister Li and go to show her favor to that foxy Qin Zhao?" Li Yunv raised her lips sarcastically.
Xu Cairen opened his lips calmly: "Everyone has his or her own way of living. I won't say anything wrong with Sister Li. Sister Li should also control her own mouth. There is no need for me to teach her the principle of not offending the river."
After being taught such a gentle lesson by Xu Cairen, Li Yunv couldn't let go of her anger.
She looked at Xu Cairen's back and said loudly: "Sister Xu, isn't she jealous when she sees Qin Zhao monopolizing the holy favor?!"
Xu Cairen's pace slowed down a little, then quickly quickened his pace and walked away from Li Yunv's sight.
When Li Yunv saw this small detail, she secretly thought that Xu Cairen was also a hypocrite. He was obviously jealous of Qin Zhao, but he was still shy to curry favor with Qin Zhao.
I wonder who in this harem is not jealous of Qin Zhao? It’s just that these people are more hypocritical and good at hiding their emotions.
In Jianzhang Palace, Yinghong told Anya the news that the beauties in the harem were visiting Jinyang Palace.
Anya's red lips curled up slightly: "Only those people who have no place on the stage would bow their heads to a woman who has no status."
Yinghong echoed: "Isn't it? Then the Qin family is nothing, has not been canonized, and actually has the honor to live in the head seat of Jinyang Palace? Jinyang Palace used to be Wu Taifei's palace, and the emperor didn't know..."
Anya frowned slightly: "You are so outrageous, how can you say anything about the Emperor?!"
Yinghong quickly slapped herself on the ear and said, "I know my mistake."
"No matter how favored Mrs. Qin is, she has no status and cannot conceive. She is not a threat to me. But Wu Xiurong should not be underestimated. This woman is my biggest threat." Anya's eyes flashed slightly: "I
We should focus on Wu Xiurong."
He Zhaoyi is also not a threat to her. After all, He Zhaoyi cannot give birth to a child.
The only person who can compete with her in terms of identity, appearance and talent is Wu Xirou.
After Wu Xirou entered the palace, she was highly regarded by the emperor, and she always had the opportunity to serve in front of the emperor. However, no matter how capable Wu Xirou was, she could not serve her. As long as Wu Xirou did not attend her bed for a day, she and she would be equal.
Thinking of this, Anya's heart settled.
The Jianzhang Palace quickly became quiet, while the Jinyang Palace was very lively as people were arriving and departing.
The beauties came one after another, and it was not until dusk that Qin Zhao finally sent everyone away.
At this time Zuo Zhaorong came and brought a jar of fine daughter red.
Qin Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw this daughter's red face: "My sister understands me best."
Other women also gave many gifts, and no one came empty-handed. Only Zuo Zhaorong's daughter-in-law liked her the most.
"Sister, please don't be greedy for drinking. Otherwise, if you get drunk and the emperor blames you, I can't bear it. This jar of red wine is to celebrate my sister's move to the Qing Dynasty." Zuo Zhaorong said, handing the wine jar to Baozhu.
Baozhu took it with a smile.
By this time dinner was almost ready.
There was a ready-made small kitchen in Jinyang Palace, and Baoyu prepared dinner and served it.
Qin Zhao couldn't wait to pour herself a glass of wine. She smiled and said, "Let's just celebrate the emperor's enthronement, right?"
Zuo Zhaorong responded with a smile, and the two clinked their glasses together before Zuo Zhaorong started talking.
Later, Zuo Zhaorong brought up a serious matter: "Has the emperor ever said what kind of status he would give to his sister?"
The smile on Qin Zhao's face faded: "The emperor is troubled by my matter now. The emperor's last edict is there, and the emperor is a filial son. He will never violate the emperor's last wishes."
When Zuo Zhaorong heard this, his expression was solemn: "How can this be done? After all, my sister was once a Liangdi, and the delay in canonizing her will only lead to rumors."
"I don't really care about this. The Emperor is also in a dilemma. Let's talk about it in the future." After Qin Zhao finished speaking, he raised his head and met Zuo Zhaorong's pitiful gaze.
She smiled: "Why is my sister looking like this?"
Does she look pitiful?
"I just feel that my sister cares too much about the emperor and neglects herself. If I were in my sister's position, I might not be able to excuse the emperor like this. Instead, I would blame the emperor." Zuo Zhaorong expressed his sigh.
Qin Zhao thought about it and felt that Zuo Zhaorong's words made sense.
"Maybe it's because my fate with the emperor is different from others, and my feelings for the emperor are also different." Qin Zhao's lips raised slightly.
She is actually a very stingy person. Normally, if someone is sorry for her, she will definitely hold a grudge in her heart, but towards Xiao Ce, she is extra tolerant.
"What is my sister's feeling for the emperor?" Zuo Zhaorong asked curiously.
Qin Zhao didn't know how to explain the grudges between her and Xiao Ce to Zuo Zhaorong.
"This kind of thing can't be explained in a few words. Let's not talk about this anymore. Let us sisters have another drink." Qin Zhao changed the subject.
Zuo Zhaorong did not dare to let Qin Zhao drink too much. After two drinks, he would never let Qin Zhao drink a third drink to prevent Qin Zhao from getting drunk.
After dinner, Zuo Zhaorong left Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao was afraid that Xiao Ce would come over, so he immediately took a hot bath to wash away the alcohol on his body.
While she was busy, Xiao Ce actually came.
"Do I still smell of alcohol?" Qin Zhao asked Baozhu hurriedly.
Baozhu brought it to Qin Zhao's lips and smelled it carefully, then said truthfully: "There is still some in my mouth."
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhao immediately picked up a glass of water and poured it into his mouth.
When Xiao Ce entered, he saw Qin Zhao eagerly drinking water, looking suspicious.
"What are you doing?!" Xiao Ce didn't understand.
Qin Zhao said cheerfully: "Of course it's water. Your Majesty is so busy, why are you here?"
