No one and nothing is more important than the Queen.

The longer the Concubine Dowager Qing delays, the less time the Empress will have to rest.

Originally, he particularly liked women who did not fight or compete and lived a peaceful life. But when Concubine Qing heard the Queen's summons, she still played the pipa slowly and walked slowly, which was really infuriating.

By the time Concubine Qing finally arrived at Fengyi Palace, an hour had passed.

As soon as Concubine Qing walked into the palace, she saw the Empress dozing off with her elbows on the table and her head nodding.

Concubine Qing tightened her grip on the pipa slightly, originally thinking that if she deliberately delayed the time and came a little slower, the Empress's mentality would change drastically.

After all, she was summoned unexpectedly, and she was the only one summoned. She felt somewhat suspicious.

Only when people are emotionally unstable can they be easily discovered. I thought the Queen was young and should be easy to control.

After all, only a brainless person would do something like beating up one's maternal relatives in public.

A person who is brave but not wise is not to be feared, let alone a queen who has become her own queen. She should pay more attention to her dignity and etiquette.

Concubine Qing, who was worried that she would be punished if she was not careful, figured all this out in just a few breaths.

But why is the current situation different from what I expected? What should I do next?

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qing has arrived."

Nanny Sha's voice was soft and loving, and the way she spoke carefully and softly was completely different from the way she treated Concubine Qing.

Hua Sijin opened her eyes in confusion, as if she was still sleepy and wanted to take a nap.

"Here he comes."

Concubine Qing didn't know what to say, so she could only bow obediently to Hua Sijin.

"I misjudged it. I thought Concubine Qing would arrive tomorrow. I thought I had other things to do tonight, so I took the time to get some sleep."

"Don't be angry, Concubine Qing. It would be bad if you think that I am deliberately leaving you alone."

What else could the Qing imperial concubine say? She could only kneel down and admit her mistake while holding the pipa.

Unfortunately, Hua Sijin didn't want her to get up. Instead, she kept her eyes on her pipa.

"This pipa looks nice, but was it a gift from the late emperor?"

Hua Sijin looked at the pipa with a smile, and Concubine Qing tried to pretend that she didn't understand what she meant in vain.

"Empress, this pipa was given to me when I entered the palace. My parents took pity on me and feared that I would be lonely in the harem, so they allowed me to bring it into the palace."

Aunt Sha suddenly snorted, "The Concubine Qing is so unruly. She has lived in the palace for so many years, but she still doesn't distinguish between superiors and subordinates. How can you call yourself 'I' in front of the Empress?"

Hua Sijin didn't say anything, so Concubine Qing quickly raised the pipa in her hand and apologized.

"Please forgive me, Queen. I have been alone for a long time and forgot the palace rules for a moment. Please calm down, Queen."

Hua Sijin still didn't say anything, but gave Aunt Sha a look.

Nanny Sha understood and quickly took the pipa that Concubine Qing was holding high. Of course, she did not forget the Queen's previous teachings and found a handkerchief to cushion her hands.

Hua Sijin is now immune to all poisons. She reaches out and takes the pipa, examining it carefully.

"The family of the Jinling prefect is indeed rich. I think it would be hard to find such a rare ancient pipa as the one in the hands of the Qing imperial concubine."

I reached out and gently plucked the piano, and the pleasant sound lingered in my ears.

"Yes, it is indeed very pleasant to the ears. What a pity, I like the sound of the zither, but I don't know how to play it."

Is there anything else that Concubine Dowager Qing doesn’t understand?

"If the Queen doesn't mind, I can come here every day to teach you in person."

Hua Sijin's lips curled up slightly, this Concubine Qing had a really beautiful thought.

Taking this opportunity to get closer to me every day and complete her good deeds?

dream!

"I have a lot to do every day, so I don't have much time to cultivate such hobbies. If I randomly choose a clever and skillful maid to learn from the concubine, I'm afraid the concubine will think that I am taking away your blessings."

"How about this? I will select a woman who has some knowledge of music from among the concubines of the previous emperor. After she has learned it, I will let her come here and play the pipa for me every day. How do you think?"

Concubine Qing's hands gradually clenched, and her whole body tensed up, but she still tried to calm down quickly and replied:

"There is no need to be so troublesome. I don't have much to do on weekdays. If the Queen wants to listen to the pipa, just send someone to call me."

Hua Sijin smiled and shook her head slightly, "I understand what Concubine Qing said, but I am not the kind of person who seeks pleasure. Aunt Sha, please send Concubine Qing back."

Concubine Qing followed Aunt Sha away with a confused look on her face, not knowing what kind of medicine Hua Sijin was selling.

Little did she know that Hua Sijin's mind-reading ability had already ended. She had heard all the secrets in her heart and lied to her with words.

It seems that this Concubine Dowager Qing has been a target set up there for a long time. She comes from Jinling and has her own little thoughts. With so many coincidences, no one would let her go.

What a pity, the flowers are different.

When Hua Sijin thought of the thick stack of red history books that had not yet been read, her forehead hurt more and more.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qing refuses to leave and is making a scene in front of the palace gate."

Hua Sijin raised her eyebrows, gently raised her hand and placed it on the arm of the little palace maid who had come specially to deliver the message, and slowly walked out.

"Empress, please save my life! Save the lives of my father and mother who are far away in Jinling!"

Hua Sijin nodded secretly in her heart, he was indeed a smart and sharp-eyed person.

"What is Concubine Qing saying? I don't understand."

Concubine Qing was no longer the same as when she had just come with Aunt Sha. With trembling hands, she took out a frayed letter from her sleeve and presented it with both hands.

"I was ignorant and intended to conceal it. Please forgive me, Queen. This is a serious matter and I dare not be careless!"

Hua Sijin had no intention of taking the letter, she just looked at her calmly.

"I didn't enter the palace voluntarily. A group of men in black threatened me with my parents' lives and forced me to work for them. My father is a loyal minister and has never asked me to do anything that would harm the interests of the great lord."

"But I wanted my father and mother to be safe, so I did send out a few letters, some real and some fake. But please believe me, Queen, I did not reveal anything important!"

Hua Sijin just listened quietly, still without saying a word.

Concubine Qing's body swayed slightly, and she was almost unable to kneel.

"If the Queen doesn't believe it, you can ask the Queen Mother to come here. The contents of the letters sent out were all instructed by the Queen Mother."

At this moment, the sound of singing "yes" was heard.

"The Queen Mother has arrived——"

Hua Sijin raised her eyebrows slightly, maintaining an elegant smile on her face, and stood up straight facing the direction of the Fengyi Palace gate.

"Jin'er, it's so lively in the palace. Why don't you ask me to listen to such a big thing?"

Concubine Qing's eyes sparkled with joy, but she didn't expect...
