Chapter 190 Intentional

In Fengzhao Palace, Queen Li was sitting and drinking tea in the main hall, looking very leisurely.

After hearing the movement, he raised his head and glanced lightly.

Seeing Shui Xiu walking in from outside the palace door, Empress Li put down the tea cup in her hand, and then asked in a calm tone: "Have you been called over?"

Shui Xiu nodded and said with a smile: "If the empress summons me, of course she will not dare not come!".

Empress Li snorted when she heard this and said with a sneer: "How can I say that I am also a person used by the Emperor? Even if I really don't want to come, how dare I do anything to this person?"

She was quite angry when she said this, but she didn't know who her anger was directed at.

After hearing this, Shui Xiu could only smile and say: "Even if she is useful, isn't she still just a slave in the end? The queen is the master of the palace after all. How can I dare to have such an attitude in front of the queen?"

After hearing this, Queen Li raised her eyebrows slightly, pointed at Shuixiu and said, "You girl, you are getting better and better at talking.".

Shui Xiu smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. This servant is just telling the truth."

After hearing this, Queen Li showed a smile on her face.

Then he said: "Since she is here, let her wait first. I feel a little tired now!".

This clearly meant that Jinse would be put on the bench first.

Shui Xiu had no objection at all and said in agreement: "Shall I help you to take a rest first?"

After a break, Queen Li was too lazy to take a break, so she waved her hand and asked Shui Xiu to stay aside and talk to her.

While talking, Empress Li was still thinking about it, wondering if Jinse would be angry if she was given the cold shoulder?
Queen Li naturally didn't care whether Jin Se was angry or not. Even the angrier Jin Se was, the happier she felt.

Jin Se didn't know what Empress Li was thinking, but seeing that Shui Xiu didn't come out again after going in for a long time, she probably knew that she was being treated coldly.

Jin Se didn't care, Fang Zheng just stood at the door. As a palace maid, could she still stand on a tree stump?
Fortunately, no matter how much Empress Li disliked Jin Se, she would not let Jin Se stand there for a long time, so after less than half an hour, she asked someone to call Jin Se in.

This time it was not Shuixiu who came to summon someone, but just a little maid from Fengzhao Palace.

Jinse was not surprised when he saw this with a calm expression.

Step by step, he followed the little palace maid into Fengzhao Palace, and then entered the front door of the front hall. Jinse raised his head slightly and saw Queen Li sitting at the top.

Jinse lowered her head silently, and then stepped forward to salute Queen Li in a decent manner: "Slave Jinse has seen the queen, may she be blessed!".

Empress Li took two sips of tea slowly from the teacup, and then looked down at Jinse.

Jinse was still holding the ceremony and did not move at all, nor did she seem to notice Queen Li's appraising gaze.

Queen Li looked at it intently for a while and then said: "Okay, let's get up!".

Jinse thanked Empress Li, and then slowly stood up. She did not raise her head, but still lowered her head and asked, "I wonder what the Empress summoned the servants for today?".

Queen Li snorted and said in an ominous tone: "You are very direct!".

Jinse didn't respond to this.

Knowing that Queen Li didn't want to see her, it was naturally impossible for Jinse to go around in circles with Queen Li here. If she had anything to say, it was better to say it directly.

Seeing that Jin Se didn't speak, Empress Li was not satisfied. It was Jin Se who acted too calmly, which made Empress Li feel uncomfortable.

So the two were in a stalemate for a while.

Jinse's strategy from beginning to end was to keep the enemy immobile and me immovable, that is, he no longer took the initiative to speak.She thought very clearly that Queen Li couldn't keep her in Fengzhao Palace forever, so she wasn't in a hurry.

In the end, it was Queen Li who spoke first.

Empress Li snorted lightly and said in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "You have a very bad temper. I heard that you had a conflict with Concubine Ye from the eldest prince's residence yesterday?"

What happened yesterday, who else in the palace didn't know that it was Concubine Ye who took the initiative to find trouble with Jin Se?
But as far as Queen Li was concerned, it was Jin Se and Concubine Ye who had a conflict.

If you change the wording of this kind of thing, the meaning will completely change!

Saying that Concubine Ye was picking on Jin Se meant that Concubine Ye was at fault for what happened yesterday.

But according to Empress Li's statement, Jin Se and Ye Fangfei were both at fault.

Doesn’t this mean something different?

Clearly what happened yesterday, Jinse had no fault at all.

Jinse didn't refute this. She felt that even if she refuted it now, it would be useless.

So Jinse stopped talking.

Seeing that she stopped talking again, Empress Li asked, "Why don't you say anything? Don't you have nothing to say about yesterday's visit to bed?"

Jinse could only say: "I have nothing to say, this servant has nothing to say. What the Queen said is true!".

When Queen Li heard this, she narrowed her eyes and said, "If you say that, then I will punish you. Do you have any objection?".

Jinse lowered his head and responded: "Yes, but it depends on the queen's wishes.".

This attitude is very sincere, but why does Queen Li sound so unhappy?
Seeing that Queen Li didn't look well, Shui Xiu coughed lightly and reminded her.

Empress Li wanted to show off Jin Se just now, and if she wanted to give Jin Se a show of strength, Shui Xiu had no problem with it.

But if Empress Li wanted to punish Jin Se, Shui Xiu would not agree. After all, Empress Li really couldn't come forward to punish Jin Se now.

Especially because he was punishing Jinse for what happened yesterday, this reason is even more untenable.

Empress Li listened to Shui Xiu's movements and glanced sideways at her with a slightly dissatisfied expression. Shui Xiu had no choice but to shake his head at her.

Empress Li also understood the meaning of Shuixiu and was very dissatisfied, but in the end she was unwilling to let this matter go.

"That's all, you are now a popular person in front of the Emperor. Even I, I, can't punish you anymore, so I'll spare you this time!"

It was Empress Li's will to punish her, and it was Empress Li's idea not to punish her. It was Empress Li's will on both sides. In this case, Jinse let Empress Li have her say.

Therefore, after listening to Queen Li's words, Jinse responded: "Yes, thank you Queen for your forgiveness!".

Empress Li glanced at Jin Se and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I came to you today just to ask you what happened yesterday. What happened between you and Concubine Ye?" What kind of conflict could it lead to like this?"

Jinse glanced at Queen Li.

She didn't think Empress Li didn't know what happened yesterday, otherwise she wouldn't have been convicted in the first place.

But Queen Li knew it clearly, but she still asked her again.
