Chapter 14 The Childless Emperor (14)
Chapter 14 The Emperor has been childless for ten years (14)
Fengwu Palace is second only to Yangxin Palace. As a queen, naturally it cannot be shabby compared to other palaces. The splendid palace, the carved beams and painted buildings, the red bricks and green tiles all convey the queen's status.
Although the door of the palace is open, looking in from the outside, it is deserted and quiet inside. Everyone in the palace performs their duties, but it is impossible for such a huge palace to be filled with people.
So when I looked in, I saw only one or two maids sweeping the palace, as well as maids and eunuchs standing under the eaves waiting for orders.
"The Emperor is here!"
Eunuch Mingfu shouted with a normal expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the palace maids and eunuchs who were working just now kneeling down immediately.
"Meet the Emperor!"
They were very calm about the emperor's arrival, not much happy or excited, but a little worried. He just lowered his head so that no one could see him.
If this were placed in other palaces, the palace ladies would be so excited that they would be confused. If the master is favored, those in charge of the palace will also receive some honors.
On the contrary, the palace servants around the unfavored master are inferior to others wherever they go.
But after all, the queen is a queen and the master of the harem. Even if she is no longer favored, she is still in charge of the Phoenix Seal. Today's emperor doesn't interfere much with the affairs of the harem, so if he offends the people in the queen's palace, it's almost like a slap in the queen's face.
What they were worried about was nothing else. They were just afraid that when the emperor came this time, they might have to sit face to face with the queen for another hour. Every time the emperor came, the queen's emotions would get out of control.
Zhi Hua followed Chu Jin with a trace of confusion on his face. The palace was filled with the strong scent of sandalwood. If he hadn't known that this was Fengwu Palace, he might have thought he was in a temple.
This matter was also discussed in the palace. I don’t know when the queen started eating fast and chanting Buddha, seemingly to pray for her unborn child. After the emperor learned about this, he had another quarrel with her, and the emotional rift between the two became wider and wider.
When footsteps sounded, she calmed down and stayed quietly behind Chu Jin.
The queen arrived late and was helped forward. There was no joy or emotion on her face. "See your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed!"
Those eyes without any waves showed no emotion. It seemed that nothing could be seen in those eyes. The clothes on his body are very plain, and he is twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hand. Judging from the luster of the beads, he must have been wearing them for a long time.
Time has left traces on her face, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes are proof. Those eyes were not very clear. On the contrary, they were a little dazzled because they had cried too many tears.
When she was young, she was also a famous talented woman in Beijing. After getting married, she also enjoyed a period of prosperity because of her husband's love. She was once the woman who was envied by everyone in the capital, but now she seems to have lost her color and can never regain the feeling she once had.
"Queen, how are you doing?" Chu Jin stepped forward, took her hand and walked inside.
The queen calmly withdrew her hand, and then walked behind him dignifiedly, as if she was just playing this role, with no other emotions involved.
"Thanks to the Emperor, I am very kind to you."
"You have always been in poor health, but things are about to change now. I have just received some materials and will send them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make more clothes for you." He just paused and no longer obsessed with holding hands. .
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
After the two of them took their seats, the air stopped for a moment. It's so quiet, so quiet that people can't help but dig their toes on the ground. Zhi Hua appeared behind the two of them. Looking at the expressionless look on the queen's face, he sighed inwardly. If it weren't for being hurt too deeply, which woman would be like this?
The queen's answers were always neither salty nor bland. It seemed that nothing could arouse her emotions. For her, there seemed to be nothing of interest in the world.
"I remember that you gave your mother-in-law a sign. If you found it boring, I asked Mrs. Xiangguo to be invited into the palace. The imperial doctor said that you are depressed. If there is anything, you can talk to me."
The emperor at this time did not look very majestic. He seemed very helpless, but he had no solution to everything in front of him. They can't go back to the past, no matter how hard he tries, it's useless.
Over the years, he has always been the one to initiate conversations, and the other party's response has always been mediocre. He is also a little tired.
"The concubine knows."
The queen didn't think there was anything wrong with being like this. She just didn't want to be in the same space as the emperor. It would be best for him to leave as soon as possible. If it weren't for the rules, she would rather not see him all year round.
Zhi Hua, an outsider, feels tired after seeing this way of getting along.
For a moment, the two of them lost topic.
Zhihua couldn't find a chance to get close to the queen, mainly because he was not qualified to speak, but now that he could get up close and observe the queen's character, the trip was not in vain.
Twenty-seven years old was considered old in ancient times, but in modern times, it was still young. It's just the wasted years in the palace, coupled with the fact that she has never been in a good mood, so even if she is well maintained, she looks more mature than her peers.
As if aware of her gaze, the queen turned her head slightly and met a pair of curious eyes.
There was inquiry in his eyes, and no other bad emotions existed. He seemed to be looking at something, and he could see through it at a glance. Although she was dressed like a palace maid, her beautiful face looked more like a concubine than a palace maid.
However, that face did not give people a restless feeling. Instead, it felt a bit cute, gentle, and comfortable. Is non-aggressive and friendly with others.
"This palace maid is quite acquainted with me." The queen suddenly spoke on her own initiative.
Chu Jin was slightly surprised. He followed her gaze and saw Zhi Hua standing there with a blank look on his face.
"Returning to the queen, this servant is the newly appointed maid, the empress Jin An!" She bowed politely, as if she was a little embarrassed to be caught peeking, and she quickly lowered her head.
"I've heard about you," she said.
This sentence makes people think a lot. What is the way to hear it?
Zhihua was a little nervous, maybe he had offended the queen without knowing it, right? Then wouldn't her big ship be completely far away from her?
"This palace maid looks interesting. Why don't you come to this palace as an errand?" The queen remained expressionless, as if this sentence was just a casual mention.
Chu Jin said, "If the Queen likes it, let her work as an errand here for you."
Zhihua's mood was very complicated, so the emperor's favor was always illusory. But it's not impossible for her to come into contact with the queen.
