Chapter 698 Nemesis
Qin Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to the orb, and she quickly went near Cihe Palace.
Unfortunately, there were only the voices of the maids in the Cihe Palace. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, she heard Nianyun talking to the Queen Mother Guo. Only then did she know that the Queen Mother Guo was worshiping Buddha in the small Buddhist hall.
Seeing this, she went to Shoukang Palace, intending to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager and have a meal there. The most important thing was that Shoukang Palace was close to Cihe Palace, so she might be able to overhear what Empress Dowager Guo was saying.
In this way, Qin Zhao entered Shoukang Palace.
When the Empress Dowager saw Qin Zhao, she was so happy that she took Qin Zhao's hand and started making household chores.
The old man likes to be lively, and Qin Zhao is sweet-tongued, making the Empress Dowager very happy.
During this period, Qin Zhao listened to the movements in Cihe Palace from time to time. When he finally heard the voice of Empress Dowager Guo speaking, he could not hear clearly.
She then left Shoukang Palace, eavesdropping on some trivial matters in Cihe Palace. Another quarter of an hour passed when Nianyun mentioned some matters at the birthday banquet.
Empress Dowager Guo made some requests, and Nianyun agreed to them one by one.
When Nianyun mentioned some details of the birthday banquet, Nianyun naturally turned the topic to Qin Zhao.
"I wonder if Miss Qin will come to attend the Queen Mother's birthday?" she said, quietly observing Queen Mother Guo's expression.
Queen Mother Guo was originally in a good mood, but when she heard Qin Zhao's name, she looked worried: "How can she have the nerve to come to see the Ai family?!"
"After all, it's a big day. Even if it's just to put on a show for the emperor, Miss Qin will probably come to give gifts to the empress." The reason why Nianyun mentioned this was because he was afraid that Qin Zhao would appear at that time and cause unpleasant troubles, which would affect the empress's mood.
"If she shows up, the Aijia will make her the laughing stock of the entire palace!" Empress Dowager Guo sneered and raised her lips.
Nianyun asked curiously: "Has your Majesty already made a plan?"
"The Ai family has thousands of ways to make Qin look embarrassed, but they will never make her look good!" Empress Dowager Guo felt that Qin Zhao could not cause trouble on her birthday. After all, she was the protagonist that day. Who was Qin Zhao?
At this moment, she and Nianyun didn't know that Qin Zhao was outside, so it wasn't surprising at all to hear their conversation.
Qin Zhao eavesdropped nearby for a while, but never heard what tricks Empress Dowager Guo was trying to use to make her look embarrassed. In addition, Baozhu always looked at her with suspicion, so she had no choice but to go back to Jinyang Palace.
I didn't expect to meet Luo Baolin, Li Yunv and Xu Cairen before returning to Jinyang Palace.
It was beyond Qin Zhao's expectation that these three people would come together.
When Xu Cairen and Luo Baolin saw Qin Zhao, they immediately stepped forward to salute with respectful gestures. However, Li Yunv was just the opposite. Instead, she shouted at Qin Zhao: "Miss Qin, won't you salute when you see me?"
No matter how you say she has status, even though she is just a concubine, she is still better than Qin Zhao, a nameless and statusless woman.
So Xu Cairen and Luo Baolin lowered their status and paid homage to Qin Zhao instead.
Today she was going to let Qin Zhao see her identity clearly, and let Xu Cai and Luo Baolin see clearly how humble and unbearable her behavior just now was.
Qin Zhao glanced at Li Yunu and didn't want to pay attention to this boring woman.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but Li Yunv's sharp voice suddenly sounded. The next moment, Li Yunv stood in front of her: "Qin Zhao, you haven't saluted me yet!"
Qin Zhao took one look at Baozhu, who immediately took action. She was brave and pushed Li Yunu away as soon as she took action.
Li Yunv did not expect that Baozhu would dare to push her away. She was so angry that she shouted loudly: "Baozhu, you cheap maid, how dare you disrespect me?!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Zhao suddenly showed Long Yu and looked at her coldly: "Seeing Long Yu is like seeing the emperor coming in person, Li Yunu, why don't you kneel down?!"
Li Yunv's face changed slightly, but she didn't expect Qin Zhao to carry Long Yu with him.
With the dragon jade in hand, no wonder Qin Zhao dared to run amok in the harem, and no wonder Li Cairen and Luo Baolin were so respectful to Qin Zhao.
She was extremely depressed, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Long Yu. She immediately knelt down on the ground, Qin Zhao looked down at her from above, she felt aggrieved, but there was nothing she could do.
"Kneel down here and reflect." Qin Zhao said and walked away without looking back.
Only Li Yunv was left kneeling on the ground. She looked at Qin Zhao's back and asked: "Qin Zhao, how long should I kneel down?!"
Qin Zhao ignored her, which discouraged her.
When Xu Cairen saw this scene, he shook his head and walked away quickly with Luo Baolin, clearly not wanting to get into this muddy water.
But Li Yunv suffered a lot because she collided with Qin Zhao, and Qin Zhao had the dragon jade in his hand. She couldn't get up on her own, so she could only wait for Qin Zhao to spare her from kneeling down.
Many people passed by along the way. When they saw her kneeling on the ground, they naturally pointed at her.
Li Yunv felt that she had no face to see people, but she had nowhere to escape, so she could only continue to endure the crowd watching her.
She once again affirmed that Qin Zhao was her nemesis, and she would always suffer from depression every time she met Qin Zhao.
After Qin Zhao returned to Jinyang Palace, Baozhu said to Qin Zhao: "When do you plan to let Lady Li get up?"
Qin Zhao glanced at Baozhu and said, "Do you sympathize with her?"
"This slave is not sympathetic. I am just worried that after this battle, Lady Li will spread vicious rumors about the girl." Baozhu expressed his worries.
Qin Zhao felt that Baozhu's words were reasonable: "Then let her kneel for two days and two nights."
Bao Zhu was stunned, "Girl, are you serious?"
"Can I still tell lies about this? Since she talks bad things about me everywhere, I'll let her kneel for a little longer so that I don't lose anything." Qin Zhao opened his lips indifferently.
No matter how bad Li Yunv is, she can't cause much trouble. What she has to think about now is what kind of method Queen Mother Guo will use to deal with her.
Of course, there is another way to solve the problem, that is, on the day of Queen Mother Guo's birthday, she will do nothing and just stay in Jinyang Palace to be an ostrich. In this way, Queen Mother Guo will be unable to embarrass her even if she wants to.
But this is obviously not her style.
She doesn't like to be an ostrich, and she doesn't like to run away from trouble.
"Baozhu, go prepare a birthday gift and send it to Cihe Palace on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday." Qin Zhao finally made a decision.
Baozhu hesitated a little: "Do you really want to send gifts to the girl? I think the Queen Mother will not miss any opportunity to humiliate the girl."
Qin Zhao knew that Baozhu's words were reasonable: "Yes, the Queen Mother will definitely make trouble, but it won't work if I don't give it away."
"Why not? The emperor also knows that the Queen Mother will embarrass the girl. If the girl does not send gifts, the emperor can understand the girl." Bao Zhu felt that this problem was not difficult to solve.
Qin Zhao shook his head: "Your Majesty can understand me, but I can't embarrass Your Majesty. On such a big day as the Queen Mother's birthday, my absence will always cause trouble."
After a moment of silence, she thought of a way, "I'll go to the Heart Cultivation Hall."
When Baoyu heard that Qin Zhao was going to the Yangxin Palace, his eyes lit up: "Young lady, you finally know that you are going to compete for favor?"
