The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 174 Does the Empress Like This Gift?

It was night, and He Lanshan paced back and forth anxiously in the Yupeng Hall.

Jiang Mubai flipped through her signboard, but she turned her away on the grounds of menstruation, and closed the door.

She circled around the incense burner in the middle of the sleeping hall, and Qi Xi was dizzy from seeing it, "Empress, don't be impatient, Chi Lian is very skilled, and she is thoughtful, so I think it will be fine."

"How can I not be in a hurry? Chilian never does things like this without explaining!" He Lanshan pressed her temples hard to relieve the headache caused by excessive tension, "The servant sent to monitor Fengluan Palace said, After dinner, I saw the Empress holding the Eldest Prince for a walk in the Imperial Garden. He is fine, but Chi Lian disappeared again, so what if he falls into the hands of the Empress?"

"The empress is at ease, Chi Lian is the tightest-spoken, and you have shown great kindness to her. Even if she falls into the hands of Empress Zhaodu by mistake, I can assure you that she will not say a word about the empress."

"hope so"

That night, He Lanshan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. If there was any disturbance outside the palace, she put on her clothes and rushed out to have a look, hoping that Chilian would come back safe and sound.

But after all, it was a hopeless one.

Early the next morning, I went to Fengluan Palace to greet Chu Jin as usual.

Chu Jin's complexion was quite good, and his expression was not abnormal at all, as usual, just chatting and laughing with the concubines.

"Seeing that the Empress' complexion is getting better, have you eaten all the supplements I sent you?"

He Lanshan recovered from her body trembling when she called her, and said with a smirk: "The empress has a heart, I use those supplements as bickering after dinner, and I have slept more peacefully in the past two days."

"Well, it's just that the empress's dark circles are a bit heavy, and she doesn't look very beautiful." Chu Jin pressed her lower eyelid with the pulp of her index finger, and said with a smile: "There are some good ones in the palace that moisturize the skin, fade dark spots and remove wrinkles." Fang Zi, if the empress is interested, I will ask the palace servants to send it to you another day."

"I appreciate the empress's kindness. I have received such kindness from the empress for no reason. I always feel that I owe you a favor. So I will forgive you."

"Oh, why are you being polite to me?" Chu Jin smiled and glanced at everyone, "In private, everyone here is sisters and there is no outsider. This palace is equal to the status of the emperor and empress. That day the emperor Only by living in harmony with the two palaces that Bengong said can help the stability of the previous dynasty. Bengong thought about it carefully. In the past, the concubine Zhang’s sister frequently hurt the concubine of Youdu, or maybe Bengong’s clumsy words offended the concubine too much. You can be ashamed when you talk about people. Now that you have come to your senses, you always want to make up for the empress, so as to show the love of the palace."

She took a mouthful of the clove tea she was serving, clicked her tongue twice, and said: "You concubines, what you have on hand today is the new clove tea made by the Imperial Dining Room. With such a small handful, the fragrance is refreshing and lingering on the lips and teeth, do you like it?"

Everyone used it, and they said it was very good, but the expressions on their faces were all ordinary, without any surprise.

Especially Mrs. Kou, she always drank heavily, and the faintly fragrant clove tea drank like white water, and she pushed the teacup aside after taking a sip.

Chu Jin looked at her actions and asked, "Is it not in Mrs. Kou's mouth?"

"Our Youdu used to be located in the northern region. When autumn comes, snow will fall and the weather will be very cold. Therefore, no matter men or women in Youdu, they can't leave their bodies in September. The weather in the four seasons in Dazhao is very Okay, but the habit of talking loudly that we have developed over time is hard to change." Mrs. Kou smiled.

Chu Jin nodded, and thoughtfully said: "I heard that the women in Youdu are all heroines in the female school, and they can drink no less than men. It was my negligence. However, I happened to get a tank of fine wine a few days ago, and it was sealed. 83 Zai’s daughter Hong, when Zhaodu Yicaitou’s house was moved, the foundation was moved and the wine was dug out. It was a strong wine because of its age. , the wine was brought into the palace, and the emperor gave it to me. But after only half a sip, I felt spicy, good wine should be accompanied by people who know how to taste it, so I will give this wine to the empress."

After Chu Jin finished speaking, Sanfu, who was standing at the entrance of the hall, bowed and retreated, and after a while, he took two inner eunuchs and carried a wine jar as big as a copper tripod into the hall with their shoulder poles.

No sooner had the wine tank entered the palace than a strong aroma of wine rushed to her face. Madam Kou shrugged her nose and took a deep sniff, her eyes gleaming with covetousness, "Ah, you know it's good when you smell it."

Liu Meiren also nodded and said: "That's right, it's even more fragrant than our Youdu's drunken wine."

Fang Cairen and Liang Cainu echoed, except for He Lanshan and Zhao Sijin who did not fix their eyes on the wine vat, the rest of the Youdu concubines were hooked out of wine worms.

Mrs. Kou smacked her lips and asked, "Empress, can I have a taste, Concubine Ji?"

Chu Jin smiled a little embarrassedly, "This wine was rewarded by the emperor to the palace, it is the grace of the emperor. The palace gave her to the empress, if the empress opened the wine in front of everyone now , didn't you refute the face of the emperor and this palace?" He said and looked at He Lanshan, "Empress, what do you think?"

He Lanshan glanced at the wine tank, and said calmly: "The empress's kindness, I will live up to it." After finishing speaking, he looked at the concubines in Youdu, "If you are greedy for wine, you can drink this wine on my birthday. Qi Kai, can I give you a taste of something new?"

The masters of the two palaces have said so, no matter how greedy they are, they can only bear it.

But the others only smelled the aroma of the wine, and didn't take a second look at the wine jar.

Only Zhao Sijin saw in a trance that the wax color of the wine jar was bright red, and there was still wine seeping out from it from time to time, this jar of wine was definitely not as simple as what Chu Jin said.

As for the mystery hidden inside, she didn't bother to guess.

The left and right were given to He Lanshan by Chu Jin, so what does it have to do with her?

The palace people carried the wine all the way back to the Yupeng Hall, and He Lanshan ordered Sanfu to bring people to carry the wine to the storeroom for storage, but Sanfu laughed and said, "The empress has ordered, this wine will be placed in the empress's house." The main hall, after you have opened it and used it, then let your own palace staff remove the treasury."

Those three blessings belonged to Chu Jin, and He Lanshan knew that she couldn't command him, so she raised her hand and ordered him to retreat.

When he left, He Lanshan ordered Qixi to find someone to carry away the jar of unsightly wine.

Before the palace man lifted the wine out of the house, the person in front was shocked, "Ah! Empress, there seems to be something in this wine tank? It's still moving."

He Lanshan said impatiently: "What are you talking about like crazy? What can there be in the wine jar?"

Qixi stepped forward and knocked on the outer wall of the wine tank, and she really heard a slight movement on the ear, so she said calmly, "Empress, the movement here is not quite right."

"Huh?" He Lanshan immediately became alert, she ordered the irrelevant person to close the door and retreat, then stood in front of the wine vat, and ordered Qixi to open the wine vat.

The wax on the top is newly sealed, and it is easy to open with a push.

But when Qixi saw the scene inside, she almost lost her breath in fright.

With a cry of surprise, she staggered and fell to the ground, backing away with a hideous face.

"What a big fuss!" He Lanshan gave Qi Xi a blank look, and walked to the wine tank to take a look.

The wine was half full, the red lotus soaked in it, the mouth was wide open, but there was a black hole missing the tongue.

All her limbs were cut off, and the wounds were scalded with fire.

The whole person is like a meat ball with a head, extremely terrifying.

He Lanshan gasped, just like Qixi, her legs went limp from fright, and she collapsed on the ground.
