The Empress Dowager went to Yangxin Palace to find the Emperor, but Xiao Qiuzi told her that the Emperor had been in the Imperial Study Room these days.
The Empress Dowager could only move to the Imperial Study. When she arrived, the Emperor was resting with his eyes closed. The Empress Dowager asked Nanny Lin to serve the stewed ginseng chicken soup to the Emperor and said: "Your Majesty, you have been staying in the Imperial Study these past few days.
It’s time to have a good rest.”
Ling Yifeng took a sip of the chicken soup brought by Nanny Lin and asked, "Mother Huang, what kind of wind brought you here?"
The Empress Dowager did not mince words and said: "The day after tomorrow is the day of the triennial female talent show. The Queen recommends her cousin Shui Lanxin. Listening to the name of this girl, you know she must be like the Queen, Huizhi Lanxin."
"Okay, I will keep her when the time comes."
The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction and said: "The Ai family will go back first, and the Emperor will have a good rest before the female talent show starts."
"I know." Ling Yifeng rubbed his temples and watched the Queen Mother leave. He angrily swept all the memorials on the table to the ground and muttered: "It was like this back then, and it is still like this now. Do I like it?"
What kind of woman can’t you choose by yourself?”
Xiao Qiuzi came to report the situation of Concubine Xiang. When he saw the emperor losing his temper, he thought that he had better come back later, otherwise the emperor would take out his anger on himself again.
Unfortunately, Ling Yifeng saw Xiao Qiuzi hiding outside the door and shouted in a dull voice: "If you don't come in, do you still have to invite me?"
Xiao Qiuzi came in obediently, knelt on the ground, not daring to look at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang has been taking medicine for two days, but she still doesn't wake up."
Ling Yifeng kicked the table leg, and the table tilted instantly, and the things on the table were scattered all over the floor. Xiao Qiuzi wiped his cold sweat and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will go back to Yangxin Palace.
, serve the Concubine Xiang."
Ling Yifeng waved his hand, and Xiao Qiuzi ran out as if he had received amnesty. Returning to the Yangxin Hall, Xiao Qiuzi saw an unfamiliar face beside Concubine Xiang's bed. He immediately became alert and asked: "Who are you? Who asked you to
Coming in?"
The little palace maid turned around, knelt down to Xiao Qiuzi and said, "Eunuch Qiu, this slave is Shui Hong from Jingren Palace. It was the Empress Dowager who asked this slave to come and take care of Concubine Xiang."
When Xiao Qiuzi heard that it was someone from the Empress Dowager's palace, he became defensive and said, "You have nothing to do here. From now on, you will be responsible for helping Concubine Xiang bathe. You don't need to interfere with other things."
"
Shui Hong nodded and retreated.
Xiao Qiuzi didn't know why the Empress Dowager wanted to send people to serve Xiang Concubine now, but she had to be careful. If anything happened to Xiang Concubine, Xiao Tao would definitely kill him.
Xiaotao came in with clothes in her arms. When she saw Xiao Qiuzi, she smiled and said, "Are you back? I just prepared the bathing water for Concubine Xiang."
Xiao Qiuzi walked up to Xiao Tao and told her about a strange maid who had just arrived. Xiao Tao covered her mouth in fear and whispered: "Could it be that the Queen Mother wants to..."
Xiao Qiuzi shook his head and signaled Xiao Tao not to say it. Xiao Tao could only swallow back the words that came to her lips and said: "The day after tomorrow is the triennial talent show. I heard that the Queen and the Queen Mother recommended their cousin."
Xiao Qiuzi pulled Xiao Tao to his side and whispered: "Why don't you remember it? You can't tell what should be said and what shouldn't be said? Don't talk about these things again in the future. What does the master like to do?
Just do whatever you want, we just need to serve you with all our heart."
