The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 200 Bergamot, Concubine De pleases
"Yes, Concubine Zhao, the case of Mrs. Zhao's death has long been closed." At this time, Concubine Zhang De took a sip of tea and said calmly: "It's been so long, but you, Concubine Zhao, bring it up every three days If someone with a heart finds out about this matter, they will think that you are using this to blackmail His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

When Concubine Zhao heard this, her expression became even uglier. She bit her lips tightly, trying to say something, but met everyone's different gazes.

Now, the wall is being pushed down by everyone. Back then, when Concubine Zhao was the most favored and crowned harem, she did not give them less anger, and they all took notes in their hearts.

Only Yun Xiaomei remained calm and was still reading Buddhist scriptures for the queen mother.

"Okay, don't talk about Concubine Zhao anymore. She knelt outside for several days and nights. Her filial piety is really touching." Concubine Zhang De put down the teacup again, waved to Concubine Zhao and said, "I remember, Concubine Zhao, you usually come here, and you like bergamot the most."

"The newly appointed Marquis of Wu'an, Zhao Chu, came back from Lingnan last time and brought a lot with him. Could you give some to me and the Queen Mother?"

Concubine Zhang De smiled faintly, but Concubine Zhao suddenly became nervous, she always felt that there was something wrong with Concubine Zhang De's words.

Then, Concubine Zhao thought that the time she could see the Queen Mother was limited, and it happened that Feng Xihe was here again, so today, she must seize today's opportunity.

"The queen mother please wait for the concubine for a while." After Zhao Guifei said, even if the palace servants went back to her palace to fetch bergamot, she went to change into a palace dress herself.After all, after being ridiculed by Concubine Zhang De in private, she also felt that wearing sackcloth and mourning in front of the Queen Mother was indeed too much.

However, she didn't notice that after Concubine Zhang De finished speaking, there was a flash of gloom on the Queen Mother's face.

Feng Xihe sat quietly beside the queen mother, listening to the queen mother's questions.

Not long after, the palace servants brought over Concubine Zhao's bergamot on a red lacquered wooden tray.

After caressing the fragrant bergamot with her slender fingers, Concubine Zhao eagerly took a fruit knife, cut it into the shape of a flower for the Queen Mother, and handed it to the Queen Mother respectfully.

The Empress Dowager looked up, tasting her bergamot as if reluctantly, but fortunately the taste was not bad, and the Empress Dowager was not too picky, neither boasting nor derogating her.

Concubine Zhao was stunned for a moment, then she turned to look at Feng Xihe, and said, "Princess Yu, since you are here to greet the queen mother, shouldn't you do something for the queen mother like this palace?"

Feng Xihe looked at her in surprise, and then she asked with a smile: "Unfortunately, I was used to being arrogant and pampered in the Duke's mansion since I was a child, and I don't know much about it. The imperial concubine thinks that I should be the queen mother." Do something?"

"Of course it is..." Concubine Zhao raised her brows, and after seeing the empress dowager's displeasure, she eased her tone, "I have asked someone to bring a lot of bergamots. If you want, you can do it like This is how I peel the bergamot for the queen mother. I don’t mind giving away my own bergamot for you to honor the queen mother.”

After hearing this, Feng Xihe smiled and said, "Since it's the kindness of the imperial concubine, how can Xihe refuse it?"

Concubine Zhao Gui saw that she agreed, a strange light flashed across her eyes.

Seeing her expression, Concubine Zhang De watched her calmly from the side.

"Hua Nu!" Concubine Zhao turned her head, and ordered Hua Nu who was standing by her side: "Bring the exquisite knife from the palace and pass it to Princess Yu."

Hua Nu nodded in response, and then, he went over and handed Feng Xihe a small and delicate knife.

Concubine Zhao covered her lips, and her usual bright smile returned to her face.

"Princess Yu, this Linglong knife is a spoil of war captured by my father many years ago when he led an army to resist the invasion of the barbarians. It is said that at that time, the leader of the barbarians put it into the fire and burned it for seven to 49 days. That’s how it shines today.”

"Of course, you're not very old, so you won't know about Ben Gong's father's past."

Feng Xihe's eyes flickered slightly, she knew in her heart that Concubine Zhao Gui's actions were intended to remind Zhao Wuya of her outstanding military exploits, and she was the one who planted them if she wanted to. "

"Thank you for the kindness of the imperial concubine." After a while, Feng Xihe ignored Zhao Guifei's provocation just now, and naturally took the Linglong knife, and peeled the bergamot for the empress dowager.

However, after a long time, Feng Xihe did not cut out a decent flower, so she said to the Queen Mother very confused: "Xihe is clumsy and cannot cut a flower for the Queen Mother like a concubine. "

The Empress Dowager patted her on the shoulder kindly, and said: "It's okay, just leave these things to the servants. Your kindness is appreciated."

Concubine Zhao's eyes were fixed on Feng Xihe's hand. After hearing what the queen mother said, her face turned pale. Did the queen mother treat her as a servant?

Concubine Zhao was very unwilling, coupled with the previous resentment towards Feng Xihe, she slowly moved her foot towards Feng Xihe's instep, and when she saw Feng Xihe holding the handle of the knife, she put down the knife At that time, she exerted a lot of force on her feet.

Concubine Zhang De and Miss Yun could see Concubine Zhao's little movements, but they were all ready to stand by and watch.

"what--"

Someone screamed, Feng Xihe turned slightly sideways, and pushed Concubine Zhao without a trace with his right hand, which was not holding the knife handle.

While the figure was intertwined, Concubine Zhao's body swayed, and she rushed towards the Linglong knife.

Seeing that the knife was about to hit her heart, Concubine Zhao quickly blocked it with her hands.

The Empress Dowager's heart also jumped into her throat, although she didn't like Concubine Zhao, she didn't want to see Concubine Zhao have an accident in the Palace of Compassion.

In the blink of an eye, a pair of onion-like jade hands brushed past Zhao Guifei's eyes, pushing Zhao Guifei away, and the knife landed firmly on the ground.

Concubine Zhao Gui fell to the ground with a "plop", she was clutching her chest, her forehead was covered with sweat.

"Imperial concubine, are you okay?" Feng Xihe stretched out a hand gently, wanting to help Concubine Zhao.

Concubine Zhao, however, shrank back as if she had seen a ghost, "Don't touch me, don't think that I don't know, you just deliberately pushed me!"

Feng Xihe innocently murmured: "My concubine, I don't understand what you said."

"You..." Concubine Zhao still wanted to refute, but she heard the Queen Mother sneer: "Enough, just now, you almost hit the point of the knife, if Xihe hadn't pushed you away in time, I'm afraid you would have died!"

Concubine Zhang De judged the situation and said, "That's right, Concubine Zhao, speaking of it, you should also thank Princess Yu."

Concubine Zhao's face turned blue and pale for a while, she was alone and helpless, and finally couldn't struggle anymore.

"The Queen Mother, Rong Chenqie, please go back and change." Now, there was a little dust on her newly changed palace attire.

Concubine Zhao Gui took Hua Nu back to the palace, and Concubine Zhang De, who stayed in the Palace of Compassionate Ning, looked at Feng Xihe with a kind smile.

Seeing Concubine Zhao Gui suffer, Concubine Zhang De felt very happy.

And it didn't take long, when Concubine Zhao came back, she was in good spirits, she took the initiative to go forward and continued to peel the bergamot for the Queen Mother.

This time, she didn't deliberately target Feng Xihe like the previous few times. When she went back, Hua Nu persuaded her that now, Feng Xihe is popular, and she is being rejected everywhere. What she needs to do most is to first Re-establish a good image and restore the Queen Mother's heart.

So, she racked her brains to think about what the Queen Mother likes.

Finally, she saw by chance that there was a painting hanging in her bedroom, on which a manjusawa flower was blooming in the white snow, which was absolutely beautiful.

Simply, she decided to carve one on the bergamot in the shape of manjusawa.

Concubine Zhao's bare hands were flying, and within a short time, she had successfully cut out a lifelike manjusawa with a knife.

When she presented it contentedly, everyone looked at her with surprised eyes.

The queen mother stared at her, and asked slowly: "Is this what you want for the Ai family?"

Concubine Zhao enjoyed everyone's envious eyes and nodded slightly, "That's right, the concubine's skills are clumsy, I hope the Queen Mother will not dislike her."

The cloud in the Empress Dowager's eyes was even worse, and a cold light appeared in the corner of Feng Xihe's eyes.

Concubine Zhang De looked at it leisurely, she had stayed in the deep palace for more than 20 years, others didn't know about Manzhu Shahua, but she knew it very well.

She sneered in her heart, Concubine Zhao thought she had peeled the beautiful manjusawa with bergamot and gave it to the Queen Mother, but she didn't know that she was actually digging her own grave.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager waved her hands angrily, and said coldly: "You have no serious business all day long, you only study people's tricks, you are worthy of being the daughter taught by someone like Zhao Wuya!"

Everyone was startled, Concubine Zhao's eyes were full of puzzlement.

In the past, no matter how much the Empress Dowager could not understand her, she would not reprimand her so bluntly for what she did wrong.

Afterwards, the queen mother seemed to realize that she had gone too far, so she waved her hand and sighed: "Forget it, you go back to the palace first."

"Your Majesty, let's go quickly." Hua Nu hurried over and helped Concubine Zhao, "The Empress Dowager is angry, you will only make her more unhappy if you are here."

Concubine Zhao stood up in a daze, and Concubine Zhang De seemed to remind her kindly: "Concubine Zhao, don't be willful in the future."

Concubine Zhao's eyes stared at Concubine Zhang De and Feng Xihe before leaving in a hurry.

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager did not mention this matter again, and continued to chat with the concubines, as if this page had been turned.

After coming out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, as soon as Feng Xihe's front foot stepped over the threshold, someone from the palace came down the stairs and said, "Princess Yu, the empress concubine De is here to invite you."

Feng Xihe was not surprised by Zhang Defei's invitation.

Just now, in the Compassionate Ning Palace, the scene where Concubine Zhao fell down, in Concubine Zhang De's position, it should be easy to see clearly what happened.

As long as Concubine Zhang De regards Concubine Zhao and the Zhao family as enemies, she will come to her.

Concubine Zhang De lives in Qiwu Palace. When Feng Xihe entered, he saw this beautiful woman leaning on a light purple satin imperial concubine couch, her cloud sleeves were swaying, her phoenix dress was winding, and the jewelry on her hair was luxurious. The skin is like jade, which cannot let people see the actual age.

Feng Xihe secretly sighed, it's no wonder that among the four concubines in the harem, only Concubine Zhang De can still receive favor.
