Empress Dowager + Spoiler

Lin Wanqing, who was called by name, hurriedly stood up, "Go back to the emperor, yes."

Zhao Sansi glanced at Gu Xizhao secretly, took another sip of fruit wine and said, "The girl who is fifteen can promise her."

Lin Wanqing greeted her with a reddish smile, but didn't speak to her.

Concubine Yu glanced at her secretly, with mixed feelings in her heart, mixed with pride and disappointment, but when she thought of being able to compete with Gu Xizhao, she sincerely hoped that Zhao Sansi would really fall in love with this younger sister who she disliked.

Zhao Sansi didn't pay attention to the crowd listening, paused for a moment and continued: "Miss San is both talented and beautiful, and has a deep affection for elder sister, but she is a rare good girl. Go to the palace to learn more rules, and wait for you On that day, I will personally find a good husband for you."

The last words were too unexpected, Lin Wanqing was stunned for a while, and then hurriedly came out, knelt on the ground to thank her.

As they got closer, Zhao Sansi sized her up a few times and praised her a few more words, and then asked her to go back to her seat and sit down.

After completing the task assigned by her concubine, Zhao Sansi didn't care about other people. She specially asked Gu Xizhao to sit beside her, whispering to others and serving food for others.

Halfway through the reunion dinner, Gu Xizhao pretended to be disgusted, and suddenly covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Under the caring eyes and greetings, she and Lin Wanqing secretly looked at each other, and then drank the cup that Chaner hurriedly handed over. Tea, "Your Majesty, don't worry, maybe the chicken meat you ate just now is a bit greasy, and it makes you sick, it's fine..."

As she said that, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief again, and when she regained her composure, she got up and blessed Zhao Sansi, "Your Majesty, eat slowly, and I will go to the side hall to rest first, and I will come later. "

"I'm with..."

"Your Majesty." Gu Xizhao quickly pressed Zhao Sansi's shoulder, and gave her an angry look, "Does the Emperor want all the concubines to see that the concubine is a joke, thinking that the concubine is a coquette?"

Zhao Sansi looked at her, "I... I am worried."

Gu Xizhao shook her hand, "It's really just boring, Chan'er is with me now."

Princess Mingshao got up when she heard the words, "Why don't Mingshao accompany Madam to have a rest, anyway, I am also a mother."

"Thank you, princess, for your kindness. You can't leave right now. Once you leave, these concubines might feel uncomfortable." Gu Xizhao smiled, and went to see Zhao Sansi again, "It's rare to have a reunion dinner together. I’m afraid it’s not good to go away.”

Seeing that she was determined, Zhao Sansi had no choice but to give up, and told Chan'er and Zhu'er to take good care of them, and then watched Gu Xizhao leave the palace.

Chapter 97

As Gu Xizhao's back disappeared from everyone's eyes, everyone also clearly felt the gentleness and smile on the little emperor's face disappeared. After a short period of silence, the atmosphere in the hall also lost the briskness just now, showing some Very boring.

Although the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, the relationship between the widowed sister-in-law and younger uncle is the most important thing to avoid.Since Zhao Jin's death, Zhao Sansi seldom walked around in the harem, and had rarely seen these concubines. Now, she can't recognize all these people in the palace.

However, this did not affect her views on these women. She did not forget that they and her imperial sister-in-law Lang worked together to embarrass her noble concubine.

If she hadn't been a king who wanted to care about the world, she would definitely hold grudges, not to mention offering them delicious food and drink now, it would be nice if she didn't make trouble with them.

As for the fact that the dull atmosphere made these women fearful, Zhao Sansi didn't care at all. From the corner of her eye, she saw these women looking at each other in twos and threes, with all kinds of hesitation in their eyebrows and eyes, and she became even more impatient. "Is it that the food made by the Imperial Dining Room is not to the taste of the concubines, or is it that the concubines have eaten well?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Mingshao immediately answered, "Your Majesty really knows how to joke."

"The princess is right, the emperor will make jokes. The things in the imperial dining room are made by the best cooks in the world. How could it be unappetizing?"

"That's right. It's such a good thing, you just have to chew it slowly."

……

Princess Mingshao opened her mouth first, and several people answered the words one after another, both inside and outside the words were meant to be flattering and flattering.

Zhao Sansi was tired of these women's hypocrisy, and his complexion did not improve because of the heated atmosphere. He still kept a straight face, and after taking a bite of the fish that Li Zhongxian had just put on the plate, he responded indifferently. , "These concubines are very interesting. If you don't know, you will think that I have treated you harshly."

"...The emperor misunderstood..."

"Why are you so nervous?" Zhao Sansi leaned back, glanced at them, and said with a half-smile, "I'm just joking with you. Could it be that all the concubines can't even take a joke?"

Those concubines who had just spoken to each other forced a smile, "... Your Majesty, I like to joke..."

It was just such a sentence, Zhao Sansi couldn't bear to hear it, raised his hand and waved it, "Okay, since you think the food is delicious, then eat more."

Finish eating early and go back to each palace, don't delay the deep love between me and the imperial concubine.

Princess Mingshao secretly glanced at Zhao Sansi, then put down her chopsticks, looked at Lin Wanqing who was sitting at the table behind Concubine Yu, and said with a smile: "Cousin Wanqing, just now the emperor praised you for being both talented and beautiful. Girl, there is no one to entertain you right now, why don't you come and perform for the emperor, but I am happy."

Lin Wanqing got up quickly, "Sister... my daughter is willing." In the time of answering, she had already walked Yingying to the center of the hall, and gave Zhao Sansi a blessing, "I heard that the emperor likes to listen to people's stories recently. It can’t compare to those storytellers used by the emperor in the palace, but I have heard it a few times in the teahouse, if the emperor doesn’t dislike it, my daughter is willing to tell the emperor a paragraph.”

Zhao Sansi is no longer the ignorant girl she used to be. Princess Mingshao specially named this Miss Lin San, and she could guess the reason for it. Originally, she didn't want to have too much to do with Lin Wanqing. But out of the corner of her eye, she inadvertently saw Princess Mingshao's meaningful eyes on Lin Wanqing, and she changed her mind again, "Then I'll be all ears."

Lin Wanqing responded, then covered her mouth with a handkerchief, cleared her throat, and when she spoke again, her expression was quite different from before.

Zhao Sansi really loves to listen to books, especially the anecdotes in those wild books. Lin Wanqing looks like a delicate and weak girl. Who would ever want to talk about books, as if she has changed herself, and sometimes she is a gentle and graceful girl. The woman, who sometimes suppressed her voice, acted like a villain.It is not against the harmony for one person to play multiple roles.

For a moment, everyone in the temple was fascinated by the sound.After she finished speaking for a short section, Princess Mingshao was the first to come to her senses, "It seems that I don't know enough about Cousin Wanqing that I didn't realize that she has such talent... Tsk tsk, if we didn't trust the emperor to I'm afraid I don't know that Cousin Wanqing is such a good storyteller..."

"The princess is ridiculously praised." Lin Wanqing hurriedly turned to her, "My little girl usually stays at home and has nothing to do, so she likes to imitate the storyteller in the teahouse and entertain herself, so that the emperor and the princess I laughed with all the concubines."

Zhao Sansi had a good impression of Lin Wanqing. Now that she had heard her speak a book, she looked up at him twice, raised her hands and applauded, "Miss Lin San said it very well, you are too modest."

Princess Mingshao suddenly laughed, "Look, you don't want to hear this palace praise you. When the emperor praises you, your face turns red like a mountain persimmon. It can be seen that in the heart of cousin Wanqing, the emperor and I are waiting for you. , the status in your mind is different..."

Lin Wanqing knew what Princess Mingshao was up to, and felt disgusted in her heart, but she showed a deeper look of embarrassment, imitating the coquettish attitude of those little daughters, biting her lips coquettishly when she had nothing to say Petal, "Grand...princess, don't talk nonsense..."

Zhao Sansi praised Lin Wanqing for her sincerity, but she also understood the ambiguity in Princess Mingshao's words, so she secretly glanced at Lin Wanqing, and the two happened to meet each other's eyes, and she noticed that Lin Wanqing's eyes clearly did not have the shyness and coquettishness on her face , After being slightly taken aback, he suddenly remembered Gu Xizhao's words, swallowed the words again, and turned to Li Zhongxian and said: "Miss San's talent show today is very suitable for me, and I will let the Ministry of Internal Affairs give it to Miss San Send two batches of brocade over there."

Li Zhongxian thought he had misheard, so he glanced at Lin Wanqing, then at Zhao Sansi, "Is it the golden silk brocade brought in as a tribute from Shu?"

Zhao Sansi nodded, "Exactly."

The golden silk brocade in Sichuan is very precious, less than ten tributes can be brought in a year, and only nine tributes are paid this year, and two batches are really not rare.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Li Zhongxian's mind instantly, wondering if the little emperor had really taken a fancy to the third lady of the Lin family?Taking advantage of the imperial concubine's pregnancy, you want to fill up the harem?
