Chapter 775: Shooting yourself in the foot (first update)
Grandma Shi said respectfully: "The Queen Mother knows that you are a person who cherishes flowers. Your concern for the eldest princess makes her particularly grateful. She specially ordered these green chrysanthemums to be given to you."
Chrysanthemums are generally red, white, yellow, and pink. Green chrysanthemums are rare. Especially the green color of these pots of chrysanthemums is exceptionally pure and emerald. It can be said to be the best among famous brands. As far as Xie Yunzi knows, Shu
The concubine was particularly fond of these pots of green chrysanthemums, and would go to the flower room to take a look every day. The queen mother rewarded her with such chrysanthemums, fearing that everyone would lament that she was so favored by the queen mother.
However, Xie Yunzi was not happy. The gift of this precious green chrysanthemum meant that the human relationship between her and the eldest princess was cancelled.
To her, human feelings are much more important than this chrysanthemum.
Although she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, she had to show a look of surprise on the outside, her eyes sparkling, "I can't repay the kindness of the empress. I didn't expect that I could raise this green chrysanthemum myself.
It’s a surprise gift I received this year.”
She could only comfort herself that these pots of green chrysanthemums in her hands were also a sign of favor and allowed her to continue to maintain a low-key image.
Grandma Shi remembered the eldest princess's instructions and said calmly: "The Queen Mother knows that you are so happy, and she will be very happy to think about it. It shows that she is not mistaken. Originally, the empress wanted to restore you to your original position, but she just wanted to concubine Hui.
You have no intention of being rich and powerful. If you were to be canonized, it would make outsiders misunderstand your extraordinary character. That’s why the Queen Mother rewarded you with these pots of green chrysanthemums."
"The Queen Mother is the most kind to the younger generation, so she is naturally willing to carefully choose a suitable reward for her."
Grandma Shi's words were like lightning, causing Xie Yunzi's head to go blank for a moment.
It would be fine if you didn't know that the Queen Mother once wanted to canonize her as Concubine Hui, but now Xie Yunzi knows about it from Mother Shi. Concubine Hui and Luju... everyone knows which one to choose between these two. There are several pots of flowers and plants.
Damn it, nothing compares to a promotion in status.
When she thought that she could have become Concubine Hui again, but because she tried too hard to manage the image of having no desires and demands, she misled the Queen Mother and missed the promotion. Xie Yunzi, no matter how good her mentality was, collapsed and almost remained
Unable to suppress the indifferent expression on her face, she almost vomited a mouthful of blood. The hands under her sleeves clenched into fists unconsciously, and her long nails dug into the palms of her hands. The pain also made her wake up from her loss.
Although she quickly adjusted her expression, the change in her expression at that moment was still captured by Granny Shi's eyes - she knew in her heart that the eldest princess's guess about Hui Bin was indeed correct.
After she delivered the green chrysanthemum, she praised Xie Yunzi sincerely and went back.
When Granny Shi left, the smile on Xie Yunzi's face completely disappeared. She looked at the pots of green chrysanthemums expressionlessly, with a violent impulse to crush them all.
However, this is the grace of the Queen Mother. Not only can she not do this, she also has to take care of them carefully, even more carefully than taking care of her children.
Since she chose this path, she had no choice but to go on, otherwise all the hard work ahead would be in vain.
Since the Queen Mother likes her to be a person who has no desires and desires, she must continue to show this.
Just thinking about the concubine position that she could have obtained, no matter how Xie Yunzi comforted herself, she still couldn't help but feel depressed. Is this like shooting herself in the foot?
How could the queen mother of this country be so single and stupid?
However, such a stupid person is the highest-status person in this country. His status is simply in vain.
"Master, your hand is bleeding, should you call the imperial doctor?" The palace maid's voice woke her up.
Xie Yunzi woke up from a dream and said sternly: "No. I was just accidentally scratched by a fragment. This minor injury does not need to alert the imperial doctor."
Otherwise, if word spreads, all her efforts will be wasted.
…
"Oh, Concubine Hui really likes those pots of green chrysanthemums?" The Queen Mother listened to Nanny Shi's report, with a smile of pure joy on her face.
There was a smile in Granny Shi's eyes and she said: "Yes, I have never seen Empress Hui Bin look so happy. Master, you have sent this reward to her heart."
Because the Queen Mother became more naive as she aged and was not very good at hiding her emotions, the eldest princess Rong Xiang decided not to let her mother know the truth, so as not to expose the secret in front of Mr. Xie.
The Queen Mother was very pleased, "As long as she likes it."
She turned to Su Yueling and said, "Thank you, Yueling, for reminding me."
Su Yueling said: "If there are similar treasures in the flower house in the future, they can be given to concubine Hui."
Hee hee, in this case, no matter what Xie Yunzi does, she will be rewarded with flowers, just as she wished.
The Queen Mother said: "I can't give them all to her. If you like some, just pick out a few pots and take them back."
To the Queen Mother, even a hundred Xie Yunzi could not compare to Su Yueling. She could not treat Yueling badly for Xie Yunzi.
Su Yueling thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go to the flower room and have a look."
Finally, she chose two pots of orchids to take home, which would also look good in the bedroom.
Queen Gu served the Queen Mother for dinner before returning to her palace.
She was in a particularly good mood today. Su Yueling's actions reminded her and pointed out a new path for her.
Since Ms. Xie wants to be a concubine with no desires and demands, she should just continue to have no desires and no demands. If one day she can't help but show her desire for status, then what she did before will be
It became the crime of deceiving the emperor. The emperor and the queen mother were the first to tolerate her.
This time, Ms. Xie looked particularly innocent, but Empress Gu had a vague intuition that the real mastermind here was probably Mr. Xie.
If the Xie family was simply competing for favor, it would be fine, but instead they moved on the heir. When Empress Xie thought of this, she felt a strong sense of disgust in her chest.
Today she can take action against the child in Concubine De's belly, but she is afraid that Zhaozhao will be her next target. But she has no definite evidence. Mrs. Xie seems so innocent in this matter, as if questioning her is all right.
An insult to her character.
You must keep more people around Zhaozhao. If it doesn't work, go to the Queen Mother, the eldest princess and Yue Ling to ask for a few people. Although the Queen Mother is not too busy, the people around her are carefully arranged by the emperor and the eldest princess, one by one.
capable.
She thought for a moment and then ordered: "From now on, let the Taiyuan Hospital check the pulse of Concubine De and Mingcai every day. The pulses will be sent to this palace every three days."
She wanted these two people to give birth to the child safely, as there were still a few heirs in the palace.
And she didn't want the emperor to misunderstand her and have a grudge against Zhao Zhao.
In all conscience, she has never taken action against Concubine De.
Queen Gu sat in her seat, half-closed her eyes, feeling tired.
