Chapter 20 The Emperor has been childless for ten years (20)
  The queen was sitting on the main seat in the side hall, looking at the concubine Xian below with a hint of impatience. Her relationship with the other party couldn't be said to be good, but it wasn't to the point of becoming enemies either.

It's just that she has been staying in Fengwu Palace all these years, and has avoided the visits of the concubines. It has been a long time since she stayed with these concubines. That is to say, they would stay together for a while during the annual palace banquet.

And because she had treated the emperor with respect over the years, no concubine came to dance in front of her. After all, she did not occupy the emperor, nor did she prevent the emperor from favoring others.

"Concubine Xian has her leisure time. Why don't you come to see me? I'll see if I can make a decision for you." The queen was too lazy to make any twists and turns. Over the years, she had figured it out. If she wanted to live a more comfortable life, Just say whatever you want.

If you make others angry, don't make yourself angry. Being happy is more important than anything else.

Concubine Xian only felt as if she was being insinuated. Is it because Xian and Xian have the same pronunciation?
  Her face stiffened for a moment, and then returned to normal, "Where is the Queen? I just haven't seen her for a long time and miss her very much. How could we not come to see you after we have been sisters for so many years?"

"It doesn't need to be like this, as long as it's nothing to worry about." The queen held her temples, looking lazy, as if she didn't want to take care of things and just wanted to mess around.

"I heard that the emperor gave the queen a maid. Is that maid named Zhihua?" There was no doubt in this tone. It was clearly affirmative and just polite.

"So what? Is it possible that Concubine Xian has any grudge against this little maid?"

"That's not true, but it's still true." Concubine Xian lowered her head and played with the armor in her hand. She had worked hard for a long time to achieve her current status. Only when you become a concubine can you be qualified to wear armor, but it seems that you can only stop at the concubine position.

"Don't you know, Queen? The maid named Zhi Hua is not a simple person. She used to be the sweeper of the Yangxin Palace. Except for her daily work of repairing flowers and sweeping the floor, she could not get close to the emperor. But then how did she become Where is the emperor’s personal maid?”

In the eyes of outsiders, this must have been some kind of trick to get close to the emperor. Otherwise, how could she suddenly become a grand palace maid after being a maid of honor for so many years?

Doesn't this sound strange? Use your brain to figure out what happened.

The queen's expression was indifferent, her eyes were slightly squinted, and her expression could not be seen clearly. Judging from the slightly raised corners of his lips, there shouldn't be any bad mood.

Concubine Xian's originally gloating expression suddenly became stiff. She didn't believe that the queen had no objection at all? The emperor blatantly stuffed his women into her palace without any temper, is it impossible?
  If it had been her, she would have sent Nachihua to clean Gong's bucket right now.

Pursing her lips, she continued: "I heard the Empress Dowager say a few days ago that when she went to find the Emperor, she ran into the palace maid lying in the Emperor's arms. It's no wonder that the Queen Mother is so bold in the blue sky. Angry."

Even the concubines with some status know about this matter, let alone the queen.

But she was already disappointed with the emperor, so she didn't have any trouble about this matter. This was the case before, but then Zhihua's surrender made her almost completely let down her guard.

She's just a woman suffering the same fate.

After a while, she didn't get the reaction she wanted. Concubine Xian didn't know what to say for a while.

He has been in seclusion for so many years, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, just like a transparent person. If it weren't for the fact that he was still in charge of the Phoenix Seal and managed the tedious affairs in the palace, everyone would have almost forgotten that there was a queen in the harem.

Having said that, the emperor and the queen mother were not willing to hand over the management of Phoenix Seal to others. The queen seemed to have no desires and desires, and in the final analysis, she did not like power. The queen didn't know what she was thinking. If she knew, she would probably sneer and mock her ignorance.

To survive in this harem, if you lose all your power, then you really don't have to live anymore, just find a place to fend for yourself. The Queen just doesn't want to fight for those illusory things anymore, but it doesn't mean that she is willing to sit and wait for death.

"Is Concubine Xian just here to talk about this? If there is nothing else, please come back." This kind of thing is meaningless. If you have this time, you might as well listen to more music.

Concubine Xian was a little unwilling. She was obviously here to sow discord, but somehow it felt like she was punched on cotton, and the other party didn't feel any pain or itching. She was like an actress singing on the stage, and no one cared about her.

"Queen, are you so generous?" She widened her eyes and tightened her fingers slightly, "The palace maid is so despicable, she may have crawled into the emperor's bed long ago, otherwise how could she be so arrogant?"

This was a bit harsh to say, but it also told the truth in a disguised way. But the fact is that the emperor was drugged and forced to know the painting.

But to an outsider, what difference does this make?

"Cai He, see off the guests!" The queen didn't want to hear her talk about those things anymore, so she simply closed her eyes and cut off all information from the outside world.

Is she not a fool who just listens to what others say and then is used as a weapon by the other party? At such an old age, it’s time to be more steady.

Caihe has long wanted to send this virtuous concubine away. She is so full that she can hold on. What does her empress want to do? Do you question it?
  "Xianfei, please." I thought to myself, but I didn't have a good look on my face.

"I want to see what kind of ability this person named Zhi Hua has, so that he can be protected by both the emperor and the empress. But empress, if something happens one day, you must investigate this person thoroughly!"

Concubine Xian even applied some eye drops before leaving, hoping that one day something would really happen to her, and it would be best to find out about this palace maid named Zhi Hua. When the time comes, this will simply be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Out of the palace gate. When you come to the courtyard, you can immediately see the palace maid standing not far away.

Concubine Xian glanced at Ling'er beside her and winked.

Ling'er understood and took out a hairpin from her sleeve. As if by accident, when she was not far away from Zhihua, the hairpin suddenly slipped and fell to her side.

"Ah! Miss Zhihua, please help me pick it up." She didn't even find any reason, just waiting for the other party to pick it up as a matter of course.

Cai He was about to say something when Concubine Xian stopped him.

"I heard that the Queen's appetite has not been very good recently. I have hawthorn pills at my palace. I can give them to the Queen to improve her appetite."

Caihe was half distracted, thinking to himself that Zuo just wanted to step on Zhihua's face and nothing would happen.

And Zhihua looked at the hairpin that fell on the ground and understood what the other party was thinking, but this was the opportunity she was waiting for!
