Chapter Thirty-Fifth Entering the Palace as a Handmaiden
Long Chuxia had been sitting in the main hall for a long time, and had also heard what people outside said about Concubine Li. Although she was absolutely convinced that her words were cruel, she did not stop her. On the contrary, she felt that the more enemies Xue Xuan had before entering the palace, the better.
Her life in the palace will become increasingly difficult in the future, pushing her to the edge. Let's see how she fights back?
Xiaoxun smiled and said: "It seems that she has already offended many people before she entered the palace."
"It's not that she offended anyone, but that's how this deep palace is originally. She specializes in making fun of other people's wounds and using their wounds as fodder for entertainment," Long Chuxia said calmly.
Ah San echoed from the side: "Who says it's not the case? In the past, the queen was not favored. Who in the harem has not made fun of the queen? Now that the queen has the support of her master, these people dare not make trouble maliciously, but there are still a lot of unpleasant words spread secretly."
Long Chuxia caressed the armor lightly and said: "So, before I leave, I must find one or two helpers for the Queen, otherwise I will not be bullied to death in the future?"
Ah San shook his head and said: "I think it's useless to find helpers for her. In the end, she needs to strengthen herself."
Long Chuxia looked at Ah San with an unusually serious expression and said: "A person's character is born like this. Only when he suffers a big blow or disaster will his character completely change. But changing his character may not be what we want.
The kind you want. Many people become vicious after experiencing changes. I don’t want to see her like this. I would rather spend more time protecting her than let her change into something we don’t even know about."
While the three of them were talking, they saw the concubines entering one after another. Xiao Zhi from the Queen's Palace came over to report that the Queen had a cold and was afraid of infecting the Queen Mother, so she did not come to ask for her blessings. Long Chuxia ordered Xiao Zhi to ask the imperial doctor. Xiao Zhi thanked her.
then left
Xiaoxun said in Long Chuxia's ear: "She is a queen. Even if she is ill and cannot come to greet you, she still wants to tell you. This shows how much she respects you."
Ah San said thoughtfully: "A woman with such a simple mind, no wonder Master, you don't teach her to be smarter."
Long Chuxia just smiled and said nothing. In fact, it was not that she didn't teach, but that she knew that she was too weak-tempered and could not become talented no matter how much she was taught. In addition, she was over thirty and had suffered the hardships in the palace, but her thoughts were still so simple.
She doesn't know how to resist when people attack her. Even if she is taught, she is unwilling to learn.
Seeing Xue Xuan was within her expectation
After Xue Xuan saluted, she sat quietly next to Concubine Qin. Xiaoxun served a cup of tea as instructed by Long Chuxia. She took a sip and frowned: "Xiaoxun, I have told you many times that this new tea does not need to be boiled.
The water and the flavor of tea have all been taken away.”
Xiaoxun sighed: "The Queen Mother, I can't remember my temperament. I'll have sex again!"
Long Chuxia pretended to be irritated and said: "Forget it, I won't drink anymore. I'll bring you a bowl of lotus seed soup."
Xiaoxun was stunned and said: "Eating sweets early in the morning is not good for the stomach and intestines. Should I drink some tea first?"
Seeing this, Concubine Qin understood what Long Chuxia meant. She pushed Xue Xuan gently.
Charge on your behalf?"
Long Chuxia turned to her, frowned and said, "You?"
"I drank tea made by Xue Xuan last time, and I said it was good!" Xue Xuan said boldly.
Long Chuxia nodded, "Well, it's indeed good. Okay, Xiaoxun, you take Mrs. Chen in!"
Xue Xuan's face darkened and she said: "Mother, Xue Xuan is no longer Mrs. Chen!"
Long Chuxia pretended to be stunned, Xiaoxun also whispered a few words in her ear, Long Chuxia said oh, and looked at Xue Xuan with a little more pity in her eyes, "Well, Miss Xue, you go!"
Xue Xuan felt slightly blessed and followed Xiao Xun into the inner hall.
Now, Concubine Ling and Concubine Li finally knew the reason why Concubine Qin brought Xue Xuan to pay respects to the Queen Mother. Concubine Ling glared at Concubine Qin sharply, thinking that she wanted to get closer to the Queen Mother, so she tried every means to please Qin.
The concubine couldn't argue, her heart was filled with anxiety, but she couldn't do anything. She could only follow Long Chuxia's arrangements and go on step by step.
The family reputation and the lives of her family are all in her hands. She can't be careless at all.
Xue Xuan brewed the tea and Long Chuxia took a sip and said with appreciation: "Well, not bad, it's much better than Xiaoxun's. Xiaoxun, when you have time, go to Concubine Qin's palace and let Miss Xue teach you."
This sentence undoubtedly gave Xue Xuan great affirmation. Xiaoxun was her aunt in the palace, but she was asked to go to a concubine's palace to be taught.
Girl, come here and teach me, let me go over, it won’t be good if you disturb Concubine Qin.”
Long Chuxia looked at Xue Xuan and asked, "Miss Xue, are you willing?"
Xue Xuan knelt down with a serious look on her face, "Xue Xuan was divorced by her husband's family and has nowhere to go. If the queen likes Xue Xuan to serve her, then Xue Xuan will stay with the queen and serve as a slave."
Everyone was in an uproar. Xue Xuan is Concubine Qin's sister, and the sister of General Dingyuan. She is willing to stay in the palace as a slave? Concubine Qin's trick is really great. With her own people by the Queen Mother's side, what will she do in the future?
It's much more convenient
Long Chuxia smiled slightly: "If you are willing to stay in Xuantian Pavilion, you can stay. As for serving me, you don't have to serve me. You can talk to me when you have time to relieve your boredom, and just focus on drinking tea."
Xue Xuan did not expect that things would go so smoothly. She was overjoyed and kowtowed: "Xue Xuan thanked the empress for taking her in."
Long Chuxia smiled faintly, her eyes full of coldness. It seemed that she would do everything possible to enter the palace without her arrangement. What was her purpose for entering the palace? It is not difficult to imagine.
Xue Xuan sat back next to Concubine Qin. She couldn't hide the flying smile in her eyebrows. She was so happy that she felt like she was about to fly. Concubine Qin didn't understand why she wanted to enter the palace so much. She thought she wanted to enter the palace.
In order to stay with him, but looking at her expression now, it seems that he guessed wrong
What Concubine Qin can be sure of at this moment is that Xue Xuan must be hiding something from her.
Concubine Ling glanced at Concubine Qin lightly and exchanged glances with Concubine Li. Concubine Li shook her head and signaled her not to be impulsive. They were enemies and the people who knew each other's temperament best. Concubine Ling was outspoken and could not hide her words.
People with her personality can easily offend others. This is why she has fought with Concubine Li for so many years as a noble concubine, but she still can't win against her. All her thoughts are written on her face, but Concubine Li is not like that. She is more scheming than Ling Concubine.
The imperial concubine is much more serious. In fact, she also dislikes Concubine Qin's behavior very much. But now that the queen mother is in high spirits, if they make the first move, the queen mother will definitely regard the two of them as a thorn in her side. Now the queen mother doesn't like them very much, so there is no need to do it for them.
These innocuous things have hurt the harmony. After all, she is the Queen Mother and the person whom the emperor values most.
