Feng Lingyu showed a stiff smile. Since she was a child, her grandma didn't care for her and her uncle didn't love her. She liked reading and doing research. Over time, she developed her current indifferent character, and her family didn't like her very much.
"Empress, is it not very nice of you to say that about yourself?"
Zhao Yurou laughed a few times and looked at her with a helpless smile.
This empress has really refreshed her outlook on life. She never puts on airs and never sees herself as a golden empress.
"It is true that I am such a person, neither calm nor indifferent.
Anyway, I have developed this kind of character since I was a child. Although it seems strange, it does not mean that I have no feelings in my heart!"
Feng Lingyu didn't want others to misunderstand her. She seemed to be aloof and she usually didn't want to talk to others. In fact, she was a fiery person at heart.
"Empress, if you keep saying this sincerely with this face, others won't believe it, but I know you better.
Just because you are so kind to those ladies in the cold palace, you are a person worthy of my admiration and worship. It is my honor to serve you all my life!"
Zhao Yurou liked her bad face very much. At least she was neither happy nor angry, and others couldn't tell what she was thinking.
If you control your emotions well in this deep palace, you can live longer.
This is Sunflower running over from a distance, looking a little panicked, just like the soldiers who were nervous when a foreign enemy invaded, and said hesitantly,
"The Queen, Concubine Shu, please see me!"
"Concubine Shu? Is she one of the guardians?"
Feng Lingyu was stunned for a few seconds, thinking of that smiling, versatile woman who was very popular in this palace.
"Back to the Queen, that's the Queen!"
"Then let her come in!" Feng Lingyu nodded gently, and then, with the help of Jia Huan, she sat on a chair beside her.
Concubine Shu and her master and servant Xiangli walked in one after another. Her face was still red and she seemed to be in a very good mood. She walked in and said slightly, "Concubine, please see the Queen!"
"Concubine Shu, there is no need to be polite, please sit down!"
Feng Lingyu didn't want to refer to them as sisters. The names she called sister and sister were particularly awkward, as if she was admitting that she was in the same boat with them and sharing the same man.
"I heard that my sister was injured a few days ago. I always wanted to come over and have a look. But I heard that the emperor was here and didn't want anyone to disturb me, so I never came over. Please don't mind, sister!"
Concubine Shu couldn't wear the pear anymore and sat on a chair nearby. She looked at the girl in front of her with an apologetic look and leaned over slightly to signal.
Zhao Yurou looked at the woman in front of her. She was not a beautiful woman, but she had a unique charm that people would never forget, especially those two particularly deep dimples when she smiled.
"It doesn't matter, I won't mind even if you never come.
I always like to be quiet. If Concubine Shu finds it troublesome, there is no need to do this.
The door of Fengqi Palace is open to all empresses at any time, but I think your empresses’ hearts should be the same as mine.
A queen like me who has no rights at all, has a far lower status in this palace than the two concubines Shu and Concubine Lian, so there is no need to say that in this away game!"
Feng Lingyu picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip, and raised her eyes slightly to look at her, with no emotion on her indifferent face.
Saying such words seems to be a demonstration. You must know that in this palace, no one has a higher status than the Queen. This is contempt of imperial power.
No matter how favored Concubine Lian and Concubine Shu are, the empress has not been deposed after all, and their unfair names can easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the ministers of the previous dynasty.
Concubine Shu was stunned and smiled awkwardly. No one in this palace dared to say such straightforward words. The Queen seemed to be able to read minds and said everything she was thinking.
"Sister, you are worrying too much. No matter whether my sister is favored or not, in my heart, my sister will always be the most precious person in the harem.
Although Concubine Chen and Concubine Lian are now deeply appreciated by the Emperor, this Empress of Fengdu is you, my elder sister!"
Concubine Shu kept smiling, her expression was a little unnatural, and her eyebrows were full of charm.
"This is a fact. Concubine Shu and Concubine Lian have a hard time managing the harem.
I am not in good health. I am sick all the time. I don’t like to go out. I just like to close myself in this courtyard. I leave the affairs of the harem in the hands of the Second Empress. I can rest assured!”
Feng Lingyu obviously didn't like saying these polite words to him, and he was telling her to stop talking and leave quickly. I know what you two did.
How could a concubine as smart as Shu not hear the impatience in the queen's mouth? She looked at Zhao Yurou beside her and found that this woman was about to fall asleep lying there.
Fengqi Palace is different from other palaces. When others see her enthusiasm, they want to give the best things to her, the unpopular queen. She is so fatal that they don't take her seriously.
Even the dog slaves around the queen didn't take her seriously. Concubine Shu thought that coming here would be a blessing, but she went back in disgrace.
"Your Majesty, why are the girls in the Queen's Palace so lazy? When your Majesty entered, there was no one in the courtyard. I remember very clearly that there are at least a dozen people in Fengqi Palace serving the Queen."
Xiangli was the most favored among the palace maids. In this palace, no slave looked at her without being polite. Only the slaves such as Fengqi Palace saw her and ignored her.
"Did this queen become stupid after suffering a severe brain injury?"
Concubine Shu frowned, thinking as she walked, what did the queen mean when she said these words, did she want her to be more involved in the affairs of the harem, or did she want herself to stay out of it.
She has remained neutral between the Queen and Concubine Lian for so many years. If Concubine Lian becomes the Queen, she will be the first person to die.
So she didn't want that woman to replace the queen's position. If the queen's position was not taken by herself, then everyone would be safe if Feng Lingyu sat in this position.
"My servant also heard that the Queen seems to have become a different person since she was severely injured!
And the servants in the Queen’s Palace never dare to say anything about the Queen!”
The warm evening breeze was blowing, and the master and servant were walking leisurely inside. Suddenly, a person appeared from behind the rockery and blocked their way.
"Yu Sheng...you are so brave, you dare to scare my empress. Don't you want to live?"
Xiangli scolded the tall man in front of her unhappily. The guards in the Time Palace were not allowed to enter the harem at this time.
"Wei Chen, please see Concubine Shu. There have been assassins in the palace recently. Wei Chen is patrolling near the Imperial Garden. If Concubine Shu needs anything, please ask someone to come find Wei Chen!"
Yu Sheng knelt on the ground and said some words that were incomprehensible.
