Phoenix Hairpin Chapter 502: Proposal

After a few days, Queen Qiao's phoenix body improved and she was able to stay and move around, and immediately took over the palace affairs. He smiled and instructed Lu Mingyu, "Ben Gong knows that you are in good health, but pregnancy is different from usual, so you can't be too careful. It's better to calm down and take good care of your baby."

Queen Qiao was also aware of Lu Mingyu's temper, and she spoke very euphemistically, lest she would offend Lu Mingyu.

In addition to being funny, Lu Mingyu was a little moved, and replied in a low voice: "I know that my mother treats me well."

Queen Qiao laughed: "Look, it's really different from before. In the old days, you would never be able to say such kind of caring soft words."

Isn't it?

After her pregnancy, she was not only emotionally volatile, but also more sensitive than ever.

Lu Mingyu touched her slightly bulging belly and laughed at herself: "Don't worry, mother, I will return to my original appearance when the child in my belly is born."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law smiled at each other.

At the end of the year, the palace was busy, and Queen Qiao was busy.

When she was really busy, Queen Qiao simply sold a good one to the Queen Mother Zhao, and ordered Concubine Qin to help with the palace affairs: "At the end of the year, the pulp washing room and the sewing room will be the most busy. It's all up to you."

This was an unexpected joy for Concubine Qin, who laughed again and again: "The queen concubine trusts the concubine so much, the concubine must do her best and live up to the concubine's love."

Concubine Meng was left to the side, sulking.

It is the queen's right to rule the palace. Who Queen Qiao chooses to assist in palace affairs depends entirely on Queen Qiao's mind. Such a trivial matter, Emperor Yongjia would not even bother to ask.

Concubine Qin got an errand, her face was red, she was in good spirits, and she walked with wind.

She spends two hours in the Jiaofang Palace every morning, and then goes to Shouning Palace to accompany the Queen Mother Zhao when she is done.

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at Concubine Qin's busy work, and felt a little distressed. She opened her mouth and said: "You are also old, so busy, what are you planning? Don't be fooled."

Concubine Qin heard "a handful of years", the corners of her mouth twitched, and she hurriedly said with a smile: "My concubine has not yet reached 40, so I will be a handful of years old. Besides, it is rare for a concubine to be free all day. If you have the opportunity to share the worries for the Empress, even if you are busy, you will be happy. The Empress Dowager must not open your mouth."

It's true that Empress Dowager Zhao was filling houses back then, but she was in charge of the house when she walked in. Where do you know the hardships of being a concubine? Even if Empress Dowager Zhao always lifts her up, she is still a concubine.

Concubine Qin dreams of having a taste of what it's like to be in charge of the house.

It's good to be able to assist in the palace affairs now, and it's good to have a dry addiction.

Empress Dowager Zhao was very kind. Seeing that Concubine Qin was not appreciative, she curled her lips and said, "If you have this free time, it is better to serve the emperor. Maybe, I can have an old clam with pearls and give birth to a little prince."

Concubine Qin: "..."

Concubine Qin smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "When the emperor enters the harem, he usually goes to the Yanxi Palace or Fanghua Palace, where the concubines and concubines do not come here once or twice a month. The concubines want to serve them well. The emperor, but in the eyes of the emperor, the concubines have long been the cabbage helpers who have passed the season."

The Empress Dowager Zhao glared at Concubine Qin: "Look at your useless and worthless virtue. The Aijia can mention the emperor once, but he can't always urge the emperor to go to your place. For such things, I also have to mourn the family. Don't worry about it."

Concubine Qin blushed with embarrassment, and after a while she said, "That's it, the ministers and concubines are satisfied, they are better than the empress."

A few months ago, Emperor Yongjia went to Jiaofang Palace for dinner, and then went to Fanghua Palace to stay overnight. Queen Joe has been disgraced. Now it's better, Emperor Yongjia didn't even go to Jiaofang Hall at all.

In the past, being treated so coldly, Queen Qiao could not help but feel bitter and forced a smile. Now that the emperor doesn't set foot in the Jiaofang Palace, Queen Qiao doesn't care about it. She eats and sleeps every day, and she is in a good mood.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Zhao pouted again and snorted: "The Queen only has the Crown Prince and Concubine in her eyes, as well as Brother Jie and Sister Xuan, where is the emperor in her eyes."

In the Empress Dowager Zhao's opinion, the son is not wrong, but the daughter-in-law must be wrong.

Concubine Qin never let go of any opportunity to apply eye drops, and immediately echoed in a low voice: "Isn't it? It's not a good thing for the concubine to look at. Now the empress doesn't take the emperor in her eyes at all. ."

Empress Dowager Zhao snorted again: "Well, Aijia will tell the Empress. After the New Year, open the harem to choose concubines. There are so many old people coming and going in the harem, the emperor is tired of seeing it, and it should be More fresh faces."

Concubine Qin: "..."

……

Concubine Qin lifted a stone and smashed herself in the foot. How annoyed she felt in her heart, I will not mention it for the time being.

Empress Dowager Zhao was thinking about the matter of choosing a concubine, and at the palace banquet at the end of the year, in front of everyone, she said to Queen Qiao: "The emperor is in charge of every day, and everything in the harem is taken care of by the queen. The family is thinking that the harem should also add some new people. Next spring, the harem will be opened to select concubines. How does the queen feel?"

Queen Qiao's smile did not diminish, and she replied in a warm voice: "My daughter-in-law and my mother-in-law thought of going together. My daughter-in-law also has this plan. How to choose a concubine, you have to ask the emperor's meaning."

Everyone looked at Emperor Yongjia in unison, and everyone had different thoughts.

Among them, Concubine Meng has the brightest and sharpest eyes, like two small knives.

Emperor Yongjia coughed, and rightly rejected the proposal of choosing a concubine: "The Great Wei has been fighting again and again, the treasury is empty, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is only supported by the Queen and the Crown Princess. It won't take two or three years. Come on."

"At this time, how can I be extravagant and wasteful and choose a concubine. Don't mention this again."

Queen Qiao smiled and said no more.

The Queen Mother Zhao only reacted at this time, and she was also a little embarrassed.

Isn't it? The internal affairs office is running, and the money used for the flowers is taken out by Queen Qiao Lu Mingyu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. At this time, it is not suitable to be a candidate for a concubine...

Emperor Yongjia was embarrassed to see Empress Dowager Zhao, and smiled and said: "My mother is distressed to me, I have to thank my mother. This cup is to honor my mother."

Mrs. Zhao raised her glass and squeezed out a smile: "The emperor and the queen are doing well, and Aijia is happier than anything else."

Queen Qiao smiled and toasted together: "My daughter-in-law also toasts her mother~IndoMTL.com~ The concubines in the harem raised their glasses to make peace with each other.

This topic is put on hold.

Li Jing's eyes were slightly cold, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Queen Qiao tried her best to take care of the harem, and she was tired and sick. None of the people felt distressed and considerate, and at this time, the matter of choosing a concubine was brought up.

Emperor Yongjia has clearly moved, and I don't know how long he can hold back.

Lu Mingyu, who was sitting beside him, quietly reached out and held Li Jing's hand.

Li Jing came back to his senses, smiled at Lu Mingyu, and signaled that he could stabilize.

Lu Mingyu sighed inwardly.

Let's not talk about Li Jing, even she felt sorry for her mother-in-law.

Do your best to be a virtuous queen, and worry about the affairs of the harem, but what can you get in return?
