The Queen was right! It was as if there was an insurmountable gap between her and the Emperor, and she did not have the freedom to see him as he pleased.
Zhenliang was stunned. She really couldn't understand. Since the queen had the freedom to leave the palace, how could she not have the freedom to see the emperor? Even if there is no chance to sleep with him in the near future, there is always a chance to see the emperor in broad daylight, right? Why bother?
How about asking her, who has been in the palace for less than ten days, to take the lead?
He coughed awkwardly, and Zhenliang answered unnaturally.
"The Queen, I rarely have the opportunity to see the Emperor during the day. In the past few days since entering the palace, the only time I can see the Emperor is at night. However, the Queen should know that the Emperor has set a rule not to speak.
, Therefore, even if I want to give a message to the queen, I can’t."
To be honest, if the person sleeping with her at night was really cool to her, she would be willing to try to speak to Hua Mo even if it was a risk. However, if the person sleeping with her at night was not her, how could she speak to her? Unless she wanted to harm her.
Death Silver Leaf and her.
And if the woman in front of him had been replaced by another woman, Zhenliang might have doubted her intentions, thinking that the other party wanted to take advantage of her to break the rules set by Nangong Lie, thereby angering Nangong Lie and causing him to fall out of favor.
However, the woman in front of him was the seemingly kind and uncontroversial Queen Hua Mo, and Zhenliang did not think at all that she would have ulterior motives to plot against him.
Therefore, what she said to Hua Mo was also sincere.
The queen's face turned red shyly, and she stared at Zhenliang for half a minute before uttering the second sentence, showing her caution.
"I heard that in the past few days, the emperor has made an exception for Concubine Liang's bedtime, and left at five o'clock. Since he has made an exception, doesn't it mean that the emperor has not made other exceptions? For example, can he talk?"
Zhenliang spread her hands innocently, "I don't dare to hide anything from the Queen. The emperor indeed left at five o'clock. However, I am still not allowed to speak, let alone speak to me."
Hua Mo's face slowly faded from red, and her originally bright eyes dimmed. She twirled her hands and said softly, "Even so, the Emperor still likes Concubine Liang very much. I am very envious of her."
Hearing this, Zhenliang's eye circles became slightly wet uncontrollably. He was really moved by Hua Mo's words.
The word "envy" in Hua Mo's mouth is tantamount to the word "jealousy". Just like a drunk person would not say that he is drunk. Only those who really do not hate the other person will frankly say that they hate the other person.
From the perspective of Hua Mo, who was obsessed with Nangong Lie, Zhenliang felt deeply worthless for Hua Mo and couldn't help comforting her.
"Queen, please don't be too worried. I don't have any feelings for you at all. The emperor is so special to me, just for the sake of my parents, to give me some illusion of being favored, so that I can avoid it."
It's just that I was bullied by others. The Queen, I am an ugly girl, and the Emperor is a handsome man. It is impossible for a handsome man to fall in love with an ugly girl, don't you think so?"
Although Zhenliang's words comforted Hua Mo to a certain extent, they also aroused Hua Mo's sympathy and heartache, and he couldn't help but comfort her in turn.
"Concubine Liang, please don't depreciate yourself like this. If I were a tomboy, I would definitely like a true-hearted woman like Concubine Liang. I would never judge a person by her appearance."
Hua Mo's words really made people feel warm. Zhenliang pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Queen."
"You don't have to be so polite with me, especially when no one else is around." Hua Mo stood up, grabbed a handful of melon seeds, walked up to Zhenliang, and enthusiastically put the melon seeds into her palm, bringing the two of them closer with this action.
distance.
Zhenliang was stunned by the Queen's friendly behavior and couldn't help but joked, "Queen, can I spit out the melon seed shells on the ground?"
Hua Mo smiled sweetly, "Of course, it's optional."
Even so, Zhenliang did not dare to actually spit the melon seed shells stained with saliva on the ground, soiling the spotless ground.
Unexpectedly, when Hua Mo saw Zhenliang, he did not spit out the melon seed shell on the ground, but spit it out on the palm of his hand. He smiled slyly, ate a melon seed, and with a gentle "poof", he gracefully took out a melon seed.
The shell was spit directly to the ground.
Zhenliang was stunned for half a minute, then smiled knowingly at Hua Mo, and confidently spat out the melon seed shells and threw them on the ground.
If there was still some restraint between the two of them before, now because of the addition of Guazike, the restraint is gone, and both of them feel relaxed as never before.
In this palace where there is no freedom, the two of them found a way to relax and be happy.
When the ground was covered with dots of melon seed shells, Hua Mo personally served hot tea to Zhenliang. Zhenliang went from being flattered at first to gradually getting used to it and feeling happy.
While drinking tea, Hua Mo opened her heart a little and said, "Concubine Liang doesn't know something. There are some rules that must be observed between me and the emperor. For example, I can never see him without the emperor's permission.
He has never been the only one who came to see me."
Hearing this, Zhenliang's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly. The words themselves were full of helplessness and sadness, but strangely, she didn't see much helplessness and sadness on Hua Mo's face.
Is it because she is suddenly good at hiding her inner emotions? Or is she already used to the weird rules and ruthlessness set by Nangong Lie?
"Therefore, Concubine Liang, please forgive me for being so abrupt just now. I ignored your safety and privately asked you to give me a message."
Obviously, Hua Mo is not the kind of woman who is good at scheming. Otherwise, she would not have discovered later that her request may have harmed Zhen Liang.
Zhenliang smiled nonchalantly, "I wonder what the Queen would like me to say to the Emperor? Why don't you tell me and listen to it?"
Hearing this, Hua Mo blushed again and said, "It's not possible to bring her along anyway, so I'd better not say anything."
Zhenliang said jokingly, "What if the emperor makes an exception for me tonight and gives me a chance to speak? If the queen doesn't speak now, will she regret it later?"
Hua Mo was startled, then lowered his head and fiddled with his clothes with his hands. It took him half a month to muster up the courage, but he didn't dare to raise his head and said, "If the emperor gives you a chance to speak, please tell the emperor... tell the emperor,
I...I miss him very much."
Miss him very much?
These lingering words of love made Zhenliang feel touched and funny at the same time. This queen was so cute. How could she be bothered with just such a sentence for a long time? She thought it was a big deal.
However, it is indeed a heart-wrenching thing when a person wants to see another person but suffers from not being able to see him for a long time.
Zhenliang suppressed a smile and said, "Don't worry, if the emperor doesn't give me a chance to speak at night, if I meet the emperor during the day, I will definitely bring the emperor's words to the emperor."
Unexpectedly, after hearing Zhenliang's words, Hua Mo not only did not continue to show joy or shyness, but instead shook her head slightly panicked.
"No, Concubine Liang, you must not do it during the day." Hua Mo kept emphasizing like a frightened deer, "If there is no chance at night, then forget it."
Zhenliang was puzzled, "Why not during the day? I think it is safe during the day and can enhance the emperor's memory."
It is said that what a man says in bed should not be taken seriously, so Zhen Liang feels that what a man hears in bed will not be taken seriously. In this case, it is best during the day. Maybe Nangong Lie heard that she brought Hua Mo to her.
If so, I'll come to Kunning Palace to look for Hua Mo immediately.
Hua Mo explained coyly, "I know the emperor's temper. If I say that to him during the day, he will be unhappy."
So it turns out that Zhenliang will not pursue the specific problems between Hua Mo and Nangong Lie, and readily expresses his position, "Okay, I already understand what the Queen means, and I will never let the Queen down."
In fact, what Hua Mo asked her to do was very obvious - she wanted to sleep with the emperor.
Therefore, Zhenliang felt that as long as she found a way to end her bedtime as soon as possible, the queen might be the next one to take her turn.
Rather than bringing any thoughts to Nangong Lie, it would be better to start from the root and find ways to prevent her from having to sleep with her.
When Zhenliang said goodbye to Hua Mo, Hua Mo was quite reluctant to leave. She really responded to the saying "a thousand cups are too little when you meet a close friend." However, they were not drinking, but eating melon seeds and drinking tea.
When the maids walked into the palace, both the maids from Kunning Palace and the maids from Zhenliang were shocked by the melon seed shells scattered all over the floor, and could not recover for a long time.
Zhenliang and Huamo looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything, and they went their separate ways in a tacit understanding.
Walking out of Kunning Palace, Zhenliang was in a good mood. He was jumping up and down all the way, and the girls behind him looked at each other in confusion.
They were really puzzled. Did the melon seeds at the Queen's place have special effects that could make Concubine Liang so happy after eating so many of them? The more they thought about it, the more incredible it became.
If their words were heard by Zhenliang, Zhenliang would happily tell them that the melon seeds at the Queen's place are indeed very effective, just like the name of the melon seeds - Happy Melon Seeds.
From time to time, he would meet other people on the road, and Zhenliang discovered that, except for the more courageous eunuchs, the palace ladies would still look frightened, scream, or run away when they saw Zhenqi.
Regarding this, Zhenliang wouldn't care about them, it was already considered normal.
However, what Zhenliang found strange was that the maids in the other concubines' palaces, besides being afraid of Zhenqi, actually cast malicious glances at her.
After seeing too much, Zhenliang muttered unhappily, "What do they look like? As if they want to cut me into pieces and eat them alive? I don't think I have ever had any dealings with them, right?"
Yinye rolled his eyes and said, "Mother, they are jealous and hateful. Can't you tell?"
In the last sentence, Yin Ye used a tone of hatred for steel, lamenting Zhen Liang's carelessness. Although it was Yin Ye who slept with her at night, in the eyes of others, it was her, Concubine Liang, who slept with her.
I go to bed every night and break the rules from the second watch to the fifth watch. How can I not be hated by others?
