"If you are useless, I will kill you with my own hands." Si Ningchi raised her lips and smiled, saying such casual words as if she didn't care about the life and death of others, telling you her purpose so straightforwardly. p>
Qin Huai was slightly startled when he heard this. He looked up at Si Ningchi and suddenly felt that he couldn't figure out the queen. He felt that since he could be appreciated by the queen, he must have taken a fancy to his talents in some aspect.
And Si Ningchi told him indeed. An ordinary person might not tell you directly that he wants you to use me, but slowly and subtly let you do so.
Si Ningchi also made it clear that she would get rid of him if he was useless, and would not even be soft-hearted and allow Qin Huai to have the opportunity to find another place.
"Queen, Qin Huai is not a useless person." Qin Huai raised his eyes and looked at Si Ningchi seriously.
"I don't need you yet." Si Ningchi smiled, looked at Qin Huai's expression and said with a smile: "Step back."
"..."
Qin Huai understood that now that his status was low, he might not be as powerful as the maid around him, so he was indeed useless to the queen.
Now he is just a small guard of the West Palace, and he cannot even get close to the emperor.
Qin Huai exited the pavilion, raised his head slightly and looked at the woman sitting in the pavilion, thinking about something in his heart.
Si Ningchi sat for a while and prepared to go back to Fengwu Palace. Unexpectedly, he just got up from the pavilion and saw the emperor's guard of honor coming towards this direction.
Zhao Zongheng's expression was indifferent, his brows furrowed slightly as if he was hiding a bit of displeasure, and he was obviously not coming from Xuanming Hall.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty." Si Ningchi walked down the steps and bowed to greet him.
"..." Zhao Zongheng remained silent, stretched out his hand and grabbed Si Ningchi's wrist, pulled her closer, lowered his eyes and said, "Why don't you let me know?"
There was a hint of frustration hidden in that tone. When Si Ningchi raised his eyes, he saw Zhao Zongheng pursed his lips and said pitifully: "I was left alone in Changning Palace..."<
/p>
Looking at that little expression, it seems as if he has experienced some kind of disaster.
Si Ningchi almost laughed out loud when she looked at it. She looked up at Zhao Zongheng with curved eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty is wrong to blame this concubine. It's not that I don't want to go, it's that Princess Chaoyang doesn't want to see me." p>
Zhao Zongheng took Si Ningchi's hand, pulled her back into the pavilion, sat down and said, "Chaoyang is close to Liang Fei, but he must be estranged from you."
"But, you are my queen and her royal sister-in-law." Zhao Zongheng lowered his eyes and said, "If you break the rules, you will be punished not less than one point."
"Perhaps it would be good to send it back to the imperial mausoleum." Zhao Zongheng said, minding his own business.
"Your Majesty, Princess Chaoyang is over eighteen years old. What would happen if she returned to the imperial mausoleum again?" Si Ningchi looked helplessly at Zhao Zongheng and said, "Your Majesty should think carefully about Princess Chaoyang's marriage."
Zhao Zongheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, as if he didn't expect that the young Princess Chaoyang in his eyes was already old enough to get married?
Zhao Zongheng thought for a long time and nodded: "I was negligent."
He silently raised his eyes to look at Si Ningchi and said: "As the saying goes, a sister-in-law is like a mother, but not as good as a queen..."
"Farewell." Before Zhao Zongheng could finish speaking, he was stopped by Si Ningchi. She raised her lips and smiled brightly and said: "Your Majesty wants me to choose a husband for Princess Chaoyang, so don't blame me.
I promise the princess to the butcher who holds the blade."
"..."
"Then forget it."
Zhao Zongheng lowered his head silently. Although his relationship with Princess Chaoyang was similar, it was not that bad.
Zhao Zongheng sighed quietly and looked up at Si Ningchi, who was hesitant to speak.
Si Ningchi: "..."
"Tell me, what do you want to eat?" Si Ningchi rolled his eyes secretly and could almost instantly understand the words in the emperor's eyes.
Zhao Zongheng blurted out: "Ground pot chicken."
Obviously, he has been planning for a long time.
The emperor followed the empress Shi Shiran to Fengwu Palace to open a small stove. The news was sent to Changning Palace, and the faces of all the concubines in the palace were not good-looking.
"It seems that Sister Liangfei is also helpless." Concubine De sat at the side, not taking a sip of the tea in the teacup in hand. Seeing Princess Chaoyang and Concubine Liang's plan come to nothing, she couldn't help but feel funny.
"Our emperor must now be the queen." Concubine De touched her lips with the handkerchief and said with a smile.
"The emperor and the empress are in love and harmony. I am really happy. Why do I not want to see this scene after listening to Sister De Concubine's words?" Concubine Liang looked sideways at Concubine De and said with a smile. "The Emperor and the Empress are naturally happy to be in harmony with me, but they are afraid that some people will force their smiles." Concubine De curled her lips and said with a smile, "After all, there was only one person who took advantage of the situation to gain favor, and now that he has lost the favor, he has also lost favor.
”
"There is no need to beat around the bush, Concubine De." Concubine Liang's smile faded a little, and she looked at Concubine De and said, "Sister, you are quite proud of giving up the good thing of being in charge of the authority of the Sixth Palace?"
"By the way, I heard that Concubine Rong's brother Qiu Hou wants to behead him?" Concubine Liang showed a sad look on her face, looked at Concubine Rong who was sitting next to Concubine De and said: "It's such a pity. I didn't know Concubine Rong."
Can you please ask the emperor to let you see you off?"
"If you can't ask for help, I can help you." Liang Fei curled her lips and smiled as if she was kind.
"You..." Concubine Rong's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard this. Many people at the table looked at Concubine Rong, whispering to each other as if they were all watching a joke.
For such a long time, Concubine Rong had been immersed in sadness. After finally being persuaded by Concubine De to regain some energy, she came to the banquet. She never thought that Concubine Liang's words directly caused her whole body to collapse.
The pointed words during the dinner were like sharp knives piercing into her body. Concubine Rong took a deep breath and lowered her head and said: "I am not feeling well, so I have to leave first."
Concubine Rong couldn't stay any longer. She held her breath and nodded slightly to Princess Chaoyang, turned around and left.
"Liang Concubine, don't go too far!" Concubine De suddenly stood up and looked at Concubine Liang with an angry look.
"I have good intentions, why have I gone too far?" Concubine Liang said with a lowered eyebrow, her expression as usual.
"If you really have the ability to persuade the emperor, why would you rely on Princess Chaoyang's power to compete for favor here?" Concubine De sneered, threw up her sleeves, turned around and left.
As soon as Concubine De left, the concubines saw that the situation was not good and they all found excuses to leave.
Princess Chaoyang didn't keep anyone, and those court wives and official ladies naturally couldn't stay any longer. Just listening to these few words, one can guess that there are more and more disputes in the palace now. It's just that people didn't expect it.
The favored person is actually the Queen, and looking at this posture, all the ladies in the palace are helpless?
Those ladies didn't dare to think deeply. They just said some good words of appreciation to Princess Chaoyang and then left the table.
