First wife's original manuscript

Chapter 186

His worries are superfluous. In the eyes of the empresses in the harem, the chief eunuch next to the emperor is an important person. The empresses often take care of the chief eunuch, but in the eyes of Zeng Rou, he is just a slave who serves the master. He has always been superior in front of him, and if he disdains, he will not marry him well.

"Concubine Shu said that the imperial concubine is ill."

When the emperor heard that Li Qing'er was sick, his eyes lit up, he's fine, is he sick?Do monsters get sick too?

Does the evildoer's illness mean that the evildoer is not very powerful?

The emperor's thoughts became vivid, "Empress, what do you think?"

The emperor habitually consulted Zeng Rou, who was reading a vulgar novel by the side. The novel in her hand was judged as an idiot by the emperor, but Zeng Rou read it with gusto. Even when the emperor asked her several times, she answered in the same way. Very simple, perfunctory.

"Queen..."

"what."

Startled by the emperor's suddenly serious tone, Zeng Rou reluctantly raised her head from the book, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know, the story in the novel is so interesting that all my concubines are fascinated by it. How about I tell your majesty about it?" speak?"

The emperor pointed Zeng Rou with his fingers, and said with a cold face: "I don't want to listen to the books you read, and I ask you that the imperial concubine is sick, what should you do?"

"Call the doctor."

On the scroll where Zeng Rou's gaze fell back, the emperor didn't notice that her fingers holding the book were pale, and the lowered eyelashes covered the curiosity in her eyes. Concubine Xiao Shu is powerful enough, she really fooled the imperial concubine Li Qing'er sick?

Although Li Qing'er, who was entangled in all kinds of debts in the world of mortals, had already lived up to her past, Concubine Xiao Shu's ability to make Li Qing'er sick was in itself an affirmation of Concubine Xiao Shu's ability.

"I didn't ask you this! Zeng Rou, don't pretend to be confused, I don't believe you don't understand what I want to ask you!"

"..."

Zeng Rou turned a page of the novel, and sighed slowly: "The devil is one foot tall, and the Tao is one foot tall. Congratulations to Your Majesty, your harem is full of talents."

The emperor's happy mood because of Li Qing'er's recuperation was a lot heavier because of Zeng Rou's words, and the pressure on his shoulders was also a lot heavier.
"The concubine thinks that I have to rely on His Majesty. If you are able, please work hard."

Zeng Rou's words, which seemed to be a smile but not a smile, made the emperor lose his face, and said angrily, "Zeng Rou!"

What makes him work hard?Is it the concubine who served him, okay?
"Ah." Zeng Rou seemed to be frightened by the emperor, but there was no shortage of teasing in her eyes, and she said with self-pity: "Concubine Xiao Shu may not listen to what my concubine says, my concubine has failed His Majesty's trust... …If you fail to be a good helper to His Majesty, the ministers and concubines will feel anxious and uneasy."

"She doesn't listen to you? You are the lord of the harem and my concubine. How dare she not listen to you?"

"Your Majesty's words are wrong. Concubine Xiao Shu is introverted and low-key. She is the most gentle. She has always been respectful and respectful in front of her concubines. How could the concubine dare to order concubine Xiao Shu to hurt the face of the concubine? Concubine Xiao Shu has made great contributions to this matter, and she can give you a tip-off. She is an unfathomable person."

Zeng Rou shrugged her shoulders, "The concubine only wishes to live to the end of her life in peace, and really dare not insult and order your favorite concubine."

What did the emperor do, need to ask Zeng Rou?
The emperor who dotes on his concubine is the most unruly one, he is always willing to dote on his concubine as much as he wants, and ignores Zeng Rou, how can the concubines respect the queen?
"Are they disrespectful to you?"

"frequently."

"..."

The emperor coughed twice in embarrassment, Zeng Rou's honesty was obviously beyond the emperor's expectation, the complaint was so blatant, should Zeng Rou be said to be smart?Or is she stupid?

He doted on the two imperial concubines successively, Concubine Xiao Shu and others, and indeed swept away the empress Zeng Rou's face. Distributed outside the customs.

It's not that the empress' elder brother shouldn't die, but that if the concubine's natal family did such a thing, the emperor would be lenient, at least he wouldn't kill him.

Seeing Zeng Rou's calm and leisurely look, the emperor's eyes deepened a little. He remembered that the empress begged him for three days, and he stayed in Guanju Palace for those three days... When the empress' elder brother's head fell to the ground, Zeng Rou also vomited blood Passed out.

"Cough cough."

After the emperor coughed lightly, he explained: "The empress needs to know the difficulties of governing the country. Sometimes I can't help myself. I'm always very strict with my relatives. Your brother...he made mistakes, and I..."

"Your Majesty." The smile on Zeng Rou's face gradually disappeared, "It's better not to mention the past, saying that he is a foreign relative, even the concubines feel ashamed, and the concubines are not filial."

When Zeng Rou's elder brother made a mistake, was it not because of the framed by the concubines?

Of course he was wrong, his will was not firm, and he was taken advantage of by others... Zeng Rou lowered his eyelids, "If he wasn't the elder brother of my concubine, he should be well-fed by now, and my concubine's parents wouldn't have to suffer outside the customs. It is said that they have caused the concubine to lose favor with His Majesty, and her position is unstable, but the concubine knows whether it is the concubine or not, and they are the ones who are really implicated."

"Foreign relatives have existed since ancient times. The real relatives who are powerful in the government and the public must first have an outstanding family, and second, they must have princes!"

"Your Majesty, what do you think about courtiers and concubines?"

Zeng Rou raised her head and glanced at the embarrassing emperor, "Your Majesty, you don't have to try to spy on your concubine. The concubine is now isolated and helpless in the previous court. It is only because of your majesty's pity that she sits in the queen's position. The concubine bumped into each other several times. The blood is broken, the concubine has learned to be good, the concubine dare not embarrass your majesty's favorite concubine, dare not frame your majesty's prince, dare not put on airs as a queen in front of your favorite concubine, and will not order someone to impeach you and plan to become a foreign relative ...the natal family of your favorite concubine."

"Zeng Rou!"

The emperor grabbed Zeng Rou who turned to go out, his bony palm held Zeng Rou's wrist tightly, but his voice seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak any words of explanation.

"I've heard people say that a man's heart is deviated, and he will never be able to correct it in this life. Your Majesty, you should let the concubine leave."

"Xiaorou."

Ripples appeared in the emperor's heart, and he planned to hug Zeng Rou into his arms, "I won't let them hurt you again, empress, I promise..."

"What does the emperor want from his concubine?"

Zeng Rou's deadly eyes made the emperor dare not hug her, and the emperor's arms froze, "The empress don't know how to flatter her!"

"The concubine dare not."

Zeng Rou took a few steps back, her lozenge-shaped lips curled up slightly, and said self-deprecatingly: "The lesson of blood and tears, I dare not forget, you should reward Concubine Xiao Shu and the others, after all, they did a lot of work for His Majesty in the harem, you are They can’t improve their status, but they can reward their natal families generously. Concubine Xiao Shu and Li Zhaorong’s natal families are both amazing and talented people. The emperor has praised them several times. Doesn’t it mean that they are the pillars of the country? Is it your right-hand man?"

"There are princes inside and courtiers outside. I'm afraid the position of empress is dangerous again."

"Hehe, my relative."

Zeng Rou turned and left. The emperor stood still and couldn't move. He struggled, felt ashamed and angry, and also felt a little melancholy and thoughtful. Zeng Rou decided that the emperor planned to reward Concubine Xiao Shu and her natal family... …

Sighing silently, the emperor sat slumped on the chair. The relatives... who are capable and supported by the prince are the most important targets for him to guard against. After a while, the emperor said: "Send me an order, let the queen If my natal family returns to Beijing, I will reward them with the title that I took away from the Zeng family."

"Your Majesty said that the queen will raise the prince with the support of her natal family..."

The chief eunuch was looked at coldly by the emperor, like a quail being strangled by the neck, he dared not speak.

The emperor smiled bitterly, "She doesn't know how to raise any of my princes now, and she is not suitable for her to raise them. Look at her recent behavior, she seems to be trying to please me? The queen has changed, and I can no longer use my previous impressions to measure Her words and deeds are always a husband and wife. She has no face, and if she can't keep her mother's family, my face will be radiant? The Zeng family is my legitimate wife's family, and he is my father-in-law... "

Back then, when the emperor was still a prince and not very favored, the Zeng family, who was originally the Duke's mansion, married Zeng Rou to him before the then crown prince was choosing a concubine.

It was only after the crown prince died of an accident that the late emperor noticed him... He used to think that the Zeng family was ambitious and invested in him in advance, but now it seems... The Zeng family didn't want their daughter to be the queen!
Being a queen means that there are countless troubles. Zeng Rou used to be naive and innocent, and she knew that she was well protected by her father and brother. If the emperor hadn't ascended the throne, the status of the Zeng family's government would be enough to ensure that her daughter would be a peaceful princess. If Zeng Rou hadn't married him... life would be very happy.

The emperor still remembered Zeng Rou's innocent and lovely appearance when she was married, she was more lively than now.

The head eunuch comforted the emperor a few words and sent people to pass the decree outside the customs. The return of the queen's family to the capital would bring a lot of shock to the capital.

The emperor wanted to make up for it, but things were beyond the emperor's expectations. Zeng Rou's father died of illness outside the pass last month. Uncles and brothers offended the powerful outside the pass and were persecuted terribly. The emperor looked at the fold in his hand and moved his lips. , How can he tell the queen?

After talking with the emperor that day, Zeng Rou has been waiting for the emperor to move the Zeng family back to the capital. Zeng Rou said those words because she wanted to stop Concubine Xiao Shu and the others from increasing their power, and secondly, she wanted to interrogate the emperor instead of the original owner. Three, Zeng Rou's family is in the capital, Zeng Rou's actions will be more convenient, and four can be regarded as taking care of her natal family on behalf of the original owner.

After hearing the news of his father's death from the emperor, Zeng Rou laughed three times and ordered loudly, "Prepare the carriage, I will go outside the pass to attend the funeral for my father."

"Queen."

"Will the emperor still stop me?"

The emperor looked at Zeng Rou for a while, waved his hand and said, "You go."
