Your Majesty, please do not disturb, the empress only wants to engage in business

Chapter 120 Stay
No one knows when the future will come, just like Shen Qingyin can only express the pain in her heart in the inner hall of her Kunning Palace and cannot bring it to the table. There are many things in the harem that cannot be said.

When Yao Jinse felt that she was almost well again, she walked out of Yuxiu Palace.

If it drags on, even if the Queen doesn't say anything, Imperial Concubine Rong might have something against her. After all, when she goes to pay her respects to the Queen, she always has to argue with a group of women alone. No matter how fearless Imperial Concubine is, she will feel annoyed.

In the end, Yao Jinse had to bear the brunt of the annoyance alone.

Why bother?

Besides, even if she wanted to hide, she couldn't avoid the palace affairs. In this case, she might as well accept it all. After all, handling palace affairs was the same as working. As long as she did nothing, she would do nothing wrong.

Didn’t the emperor tell her to learn?
If you know everything, what else is there to learn?
Yao Jinse had made up her mind that the palace affairs were a good opportunity. Not only would it give the imperial concubine something to do, it would also allow Yao Jinse to get in touch with the queen. When Concubine Yi was around, she would never take the initiative to get close to the queen, but Yao Jinse had no such concerns.

It is certainly good to be able to save the imperial concubine. Now all the past mistakes have disappeared with the death of Concubine Yi. The people of the Chen family in the imperial concubine's hands have done these things very efficiently. Even if someone wants to expose them at that time, there will be no evidence.

As long as Xie Yun'an is willing to believe that the imperial concubine is innocent, then the imperial concubine must be innocent.

——As for whether the imperial concubine is in the emperor’s heart, Yao Jinse can be sure without even having to think too much.

"Speaking of which, Concubine Yao has been ill for such a long time. When the emperor talked to me about it, he showed concern for her several times. Now that Concubine Yao is well again, I think the emperor must be relieved."

Yao Jinse was sitting in her seat, with her head lowered and her eyes half-asleep, when she suddenly heard the imperial concubine calling her name and she quickly perked up.

The imperial concubine was not coming for her, but it was also related to her.

The Queen, who was sitting at the top, looked at Concubine Rong's expression and couldn't help but pinch her fingers. This slightly provocative expression would make people feel upset no matter how many times they saw it.

But the queen cannot lose her composure in such an occasion, otherwise who knows what will happen if the news gets out.

"Yes, thanks to my sister who thought of me. I still remember that the emperor asked Concubine Yao to help me with palace affairs. However, with Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Zhao around these days, I didn't feel tired and forgot about this matter. Now that I think about it, it's because of the hard work of you two that I can take a break."

The Queen's words were implicit and implicit, but she meant that Yao Jinse was useless, and one more was not too much, and Concubine Zhuang at the side also followed the Queen's words and said, "Your Majesty is the backbone of me and others. If you were not in charge of the overall situation of the harem, I and Concubine Zhao would not be able to do our best for you. Moreover, under your current management, the harem is much more peaceful than before, and there are no troubles. I dare not take credit for it."

He flattered the empress with these words and said that there was no trouble in the palace. The implication was that there were many things going on in the palace when Concubine Yi was alive. As for who Concubine Yi belonged to, was there any need to explain?
How could Yao Jinse dare to say anything about such a thing? As a person who is usually silent, it is best for her to remain silent to the end. Speaking rashly would only attract the most attention.

Anyway, the imperial concubine wants to push her to the top now, and in order for her to be able to hold her head up high in front of the palace ladies in the future, she must fight for her face.

These women in the harem have always been good at making things difficult for each other. The trivial matters of the family seem to be very troublesome, but compared with the government affairs of the previous dynasty, they are not much different in terms of complexity and twists and turns.

Yao Jinse might not be able to figure out everyone's thoughts, and doing so would be too tiring. What she always remembered were the personalities of the concubines in the palace. A person's style of doing things was easier to guess than what he was thinking at the moment, and naturally easier to use.

But her timid appearance inevitably made people look down on her. Even Concubine Rong was a little annoyed. How come this person, who was usually eloquent around her, turned into a wooden man who could only say auspicious words like "greeting" when she came out?
However, even though she was angry, they were still people around her, and she had to help them no matter what. Otherwise, she would be upset to see the Queen and her group enjoying themselves there.

Fortunately, this matter was approved by the emperor himself. As the queen, Shen Qingyin's jokes showed that she was amiable, but if she really took this opportunity to prevent Yao Jinse from assisting in the management of palace affairs, the imperial concubine would definitely go to the emperor to make trouble.

By then, she will be in a difficult situation.

Shen Qingyin has always taken the virtuous empresses of the past as role models. Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the country has been peaceful and the people have lived in peace. Since Xie Yun'an ascended the throne, he has made considerable achievements in government affairs and is considered a pretty good and fair emperor. Therefore, Shen Qingyin's pressure is naturally greater.

Throughout the dynasties, even after the Wu Dynasty, ministers were wary of the harem interfering in government affairs, but they could not escape the power of pillow talk. Among them, the most popular ones were the empress and the concubines.

The queen is even more eye-catching than the favorite concubine. After all, the queen's phoenix seal has real power and can get things done.

However, only Shen Qingyin, who was sitting in this position, knew best how the weight of the phoenix crown pressed her down to the point where she could hardly breathe.

But she just couldn't let go.

Power is like a condiment. Once it becomes a habit over time, you can never let it go.

At the beginning, you can still bear it when it’s not there, but as time goes by, it becomes more and more a lingering concern in your heart, making you feel anxious and distressed.

Since you can't let go, you have to be at ease.

Sitting in this position, one must demonstrate the bearing of the mother of the world.

Yao Jinse looked at the unchanged expression on the queen's face and couldn't help but admire her in her heart.

This ability of not changing color when a mountain collapses in front of him is something that he has only honed to 70% after years of hard work. Now he is like a veteran.

Just as she was thinking about it, the Queen's gaze also fell on Yao Jinse.

She paused and said, "Okay, you are all tired today, go back, Yao Jieyu, you stay."

Yao Jinse, who was "detained", sighed in her heart. What is coming will come and there is no way to avoid it. She looked head-on into Concubine Rong's meaningful eyes and her heart was beating fast.

I don’t know if this usually harmless person can handle the Queen’s questioning.

After bidding farewell to the concubines, Yao Jinse came back to her senses and looked up.

Shen Qingyin was as dignified and gentle as usual.
