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

Chapter 125 Daily life
After winter comes, many things suddenly become urgent.

It was just a cold wind blowing, and suddenly there were many more palace maids and eunuchs who caught cold in the palace. So the charcoal winter clothes that were not in a hurry to be distributed suddenly became in short supply, and even Yao Jinse had to wear them for two days in a row.

"After finishing this matter, I can finally take a break. My lady's health has not recovered yet. After being so busy for a while, I have to talk to the imperial concubine every day. I feel tired just watching."

Bai Tan has always been Yao Jinse's confidant, and every word he says touches Yao Jinse's heart. However, at this moment, even if she wants to take a break, she has no chance to do so.

"Winter is hard for everyone, and it's the same for everyone. We should do as much as we can. After all, we have done these things, and people will see them."

In the first year of the emperor's accession to the throne, it would have been best if nothing happened in the harem. However, within a few months, the incident involving Concubine Yi had already happened. Although Yao Jinse was also involved, as the instigator, she knew better that at this moment, peace and tranquility was the best.

Harvest in autumn and store in winter, this white winter day is just the time to restrain one's edge.

Concubine Rong always felt tired in winter. Perhaps because she was eager to have a child, the concubine, who was not weak, always paid special attention to taking care of herself. She would not do anything that the imperial physician said was not suitable to do in winter.

Even the number of times palace maids were sent to the Qianqing Palace became much less frequent. Of course, for an emperor like Xie Yun'an who was in his prime, no matter how much he doted on a concubine, it was impossible for her to stay in the same palace all the time.

Nowadays, the concubines in the palace can be simply divided into three categories. The first type is the one favored by Xie Yun'an, headed by the Imperial Concubine and Qiao Yanran, and their cards will be turned over a fixed number of times in a month.

The second type is Concubine Zhuang and others, headed by the Queen. Yao Jinse can barely be counted in this category now. She is able to work for the harem. Although she does not have the emperor's favor, her life in the harem is pretty passable.

The last type is people like Concubine Chen, who do not have the emperor's favor and do not have real power in the palace. But for these people, it is impossible to make any waves even if they want to.

In fact, the only ones who can stir up trouble in the palace are the women favored by Xie Yun'an.

But even if there were any storms, it would have nothing to do with her. A woman without love in the harem is like a floating duckweed that no one cares about. People like this who have a little power and are not short of money live a good life. Yao Jinse lives a life behind closed doors, and she is quite happy.

After winter came, the concubines in the palace were reluctant to move. A wise and generous person like the queen would naturally not miss the opportunity to show her generosity, so she completely granted the concubines the right to go there without having to wake up every morning and evening, and they only needed to go there once every five days.

Yao Jinse was suspicious in her heart. In fact, this was just an excuse for the Queen not wanting to see them. There were so many women in the harem. They sat in the palace for an hour at a time and spoke directly and sarcastically. If she were the Queen, she would also be annoyed.

Not to mention there are people like the Imperial Concubine who enjoy piercing the Queen's heart. If you look at the Imperial Concubine less, you may be able to live a few more years.

However, such words can only be thought of in the heart, and cannot be put outside, otherwise even the imperial concubine cannot protect her. "My lady, it is windy outside, please do not stand here for a long time, be careful not to hurt your body. The imperial physician said that you have been weak since giving birth and have not recovered, so you are prone to cold. I heard that winter is the best time to nourish the body, please do not get out of the wind again."

Bai Tao was a girl who always spoke her mind without hiding anything. She said as she tied a cloak on Yao Jinse. Yao Jinse always liked her character, but sometimes she also felt that this girl was prone to speak out of turn. Fortunately, Bai Tan reminded her from time to time, and this girl improved a lot after all.

In fact, she was not just talking nonsense. Some time ago, she reported to the Queen and cut down the osmanthus flowers that Concubine Yi liked, saying that it was unlucky. The Queen did not say anything about this reason. Anyway, the Queen did not intend to get involved in anything related to Concubine Yi, so she simply handed the job of transplanting flowers and trees back to Yao Jinse herself - after all, she did not live in Yuxiu Palace, and although the master of the harem was not busy with all kinds of affairs, she did not have the time to take care of everything.

So Yao Jinse successfully replaced the pine, cypress and plum blossoms that she wanted to plant. In spring, the peach blossoms outside are in full bloom, and there is a cluster of pear blossoms in the side hall of the courtyard. In winter, you can see the beautiful red and white plum blossoms in the garden. Pine and cypress are evergreen plants, and looking at these greens always makes people feel better.

If we can continue to live like this, it is actually not unacceptable.

But things don't always go as one wishes. Those who want to have a quiet life can never get it. Yao Jinse lives an ordinary life, and the most nervous person is not others, but the imperial concubine.

Concubine Rong is a person who is willing to worry. Although the things she is willing to worry about are often only related to the emperor, if the emperor does not appear by her side for too long, she will start to pay attention to other people around him.

After being critical of the clothes and appearance of the maids and palace servants in Chengqian Palace, the feeling of longing finally blew from Chengqian Palace to Yuxiu Palace.

The imperial concubine, who rarely left Chengqian Palace, knocked on the door of Yuxiu Palace at noon that day.

"Concubine, please pay your respects to the empress."

When Yao Jinse heard the servant running in to report, she was a little surprised. Fortunately, her body reacted faster than her brain. While she was still surprised, someone had already brought the palace maids to the door to greet her. The imperial concubine, who was wearing a purple palace dress, had a mysterious aura today. She looked particularly charming among the red walls and green tiles.

It actually makes this boring winter day come alive.

"Get up. I have nothing to do so I came out for a walk. I originally wanted to ask you to go to the Imperial Garden with me, but then I thought about it because I haven't seen the princess for a long time, so I came to take a look."

Yao Jinse naturally had to thank the Queen for her care on behalf of the princess first, and then she took a step behind, walking behind the Imperial Concubine, with Wanqiu on each side, guarding the Imperial Concubine.

"Your Highness has come at the perfect time. The nurse is playing with the princess right now."

It’s not that Yao Jinse, as a mother, thinks her child is perfect in every way. The little princess is indeed lively and cute, and the imperial concubine likes her very much. But as she looked around, she felt that the furnishings in the room were a little unsatisfactory. After playing with the child for a while, the imperial concubine lost interest.
