OBS Chapter 387 Rare Oriental Pearl
Chapter 387 Rare Oriental Pearl
After Xie Wuji left, Danzhen served tea again.
"Your Highness, the eldest prince really cares about you. No wonder he has come to pay his respects to you every day. He is afraid that you will be sad. This is a misunderstanding."
Danzhen sighed. Since the Emperor wasn't coming, the Queen had a leisurely life every day, which was really great.
The goddess ate more than usual, and at night, the Buddhist disciples accompanied her every night.
Lin Junxue smiled, took a sip of tea slowly, and her eyes were slightly deep.
"It is understandable that Wuji is worried about me. After all, the emperor has favored me for so long, but he suddenly neglected me because of Liang Zhaoyi. It is normal for Wuji to worry about me. Wuji is a kind-hearted child. As long as he is not biased in the future, he will definitely be a good emperor in the future."
Who says that an emperor must be ruthless?
If the emperor had feelings, he would understand the sufferings of the world and know the many difficulties in this world.
Danzhen nodded, "I think so too, Madam. You said before that the Emperor would favor Concubine Liang, but in the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed and the Emperor has not even come to our Zhonghe Palace once. Why is that? How long will the Emperor continue to favor Concubine Liang?"
Lin Junxue stood up, walked to the window, opened it, and snowflakes floated in. The coolness instantly penetrated into her skin.
Lin Junxue's gaze fell on a bright red plum blossom outside the window.
There are a few plum blossoms in the corner, blooming alone in the cold. I know from afar it is not snow because of the subtle fragrance.
The winter scenery in the garden is bleak, only the red plum blossoms are in full bloom
Lin Junxue slightly raised one corner of her lips, her eyes narrowed.
Eyebrows and eyes are as gentle as spring water, with a beauty that is not worldly
"It's almost over. This round is almost over."
The voice just fell
Guyu walked in quickly from outside and leaned over
"Your Majesty, there is an imperial decree from the Ci'an Palace asking you to go over there. They said there is something going on."
Lin Junxue turned around with an ambiguous look in her eyes.
"Change clothes"
Ci'an Palace
When Lin Junxue arrived at Ci'an Palace in the snow and wind, Qin Shushu and Sun Qing were both there.
It was just that one of them was sitting while the other was serving the Queen Mother, so their status was obvious.
"I pay my respects to my mother, the Queen Mother."
Qin Shushu and Sun Qing stood up
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
Although Sun Qing was favored and became more flamboyant, he was not stupid and had some rationality.
She did not make a scene in front of Queen Lin Junxue, and seemed quite respectful in her daily life.
As for the other concubines, even the secret concubine, she had long since been ignored.
Not to mention Sun Manrou, who was at odds with her. After being favored, the two of them switched sides.
When Sun Qing found an opportunity, he used his words to stab Sun Manrou.
In this harem, whoever is favored has the final say.
Even if Sun Manrou was angry, she had to endure Sun Qing.
Today, Sun Qing is also in high spirits.
As for Qin Shushu, she has become a favorite of the Queen Mother, serving her every day, and has gained the Queen Mother's trust, so her life has become much better.
Xie Yu has been favoring Sun Qing these days and has not been to Zhonghe Palace. The happiest person is the Empress Dowager.
With Wang Chu serving her every day, the Queen Mother was very happy and smiling.
She looked at Lin Junxue with the same kindness as before.
"The Queen is here, please sit down. It's snowing heavily today, and I'm sorry to ask you to come here."
The maid brought the tea, Lin Junxue took a sip, and then put it down.
"What are you talking about, mother? I was so happy when you summoned me that I didn't care about the snow. But the road is really slippery, so I am still a little late. Please don't blame me, mother."
Lin Junxue's words were watertight
The Queen Mother smiled
She looked at her younger generation as if they were her own family members, and if you didn't know better you would think that she really believed it.
Qin Shushu sat aside with her head down. Now, her temperament was completely different.
In daily life, even when there are many people around, I don’t want to speak
A few days ago, Xie Yu went to Zhonghe Palace for dinner and praised her for being elegant and virtuous, which was different from the past.
Qin Shushu did not take the opportunity to show off, but did make Xie Yu take a second look at her.
The Queen Mother said, "How could I blame you, Queen? By the way, I asked you to come here today because a few days ago, Xuanyuan Country paid tribute to us with a box of rare Oriental pearls. The quality is better than the previous ten years. They are all top-notch. However, Oriental pearls are rare in the first place, and this small box is even more difficult to come by. The quantity is too small."
Lin Junxue sat there, listening, smiling faintly, but did not speak, her eyes slightly closed.
It turned out to be the Dongzhu that Xuanyuan Kingdom paid tribute to.
The Queen Mother really looked for an opportunity to embarrass her as the Queen.
Dongzhu has always been given to the queen first, followed by the favorite concubines.
Last time, it was because Xie Yu used Zheng Jin to test her jealousy that he rewarded her with Dongzhu, but it was of average quality and not very good.
But this time, the Dongzhu is extremely precious and only available once in ten years.
The Queen Mother must have said this in order to use Dongzhu to cause trouble.
Who does the Queen Mother want to give it to? Lin Junxue knows without thinking
Her eyes fell on Sun Qing, who was standing opposite her and whose face was filled with smugness.
It turns out that he was waiting for her here.
If this extremely precious Dongzhu was awarded to Sun Qing instead of her, the queen
Then her reputation as the queen was really trampled underfoot.
So, she looks easy to bully?
Lin Junxue paused and smiled
"Mother, you like the Dongzhu. If you like it, why not keep it? It is a rare treasure, and only you, the most noble woman in the world, are worthy of it."
The Queen Mother looked embarrassed for a moment, then returned to normal.
Sun Qing also felt a little unnatural
Qin Shushu lowered her head, a hint of sarcasm flashing across her eyes.
The Queen Mother had a good plan. She really thought she could get what she wanted and she really thought the Queen was a soft persimmon.
Aunt Wu stepped forward
"Your Highness, you see, the Queen is filial. However, Queen, when the late Emperor was alive, he once gave the Queen a box of peerless oriental pearls. Your Highness has them all, so naturally you cannot take away what others like."
Lin Junxue showed a puzzled expression, and before Nanny Wu finished speaking, she spoke
"Back then, my father was so devoted to my mother. I envy him so much. Now that my mother has the best pearl, I will accept it."
Silent embarrassment
Aunt Wu also choked and was stunned for a moment.
The Queen Mother coughed
"Well, Queen, actually, I called you here because of this Dongzhu. You see, why not give it to Liang Zhaoyi? Liang Zhaoyi's birthday is next month. Liang Zhaoyi just entered the palace this year and has been serving the emperor for many days. It's hard work. I see that Liang Zhaoyi is sensible and deeply loved by the emperor. Queen, do you think it's a good idea to give this Dongzhu to Liang Zhaoyi?"
Sun Qing stood up quickly, looking both terrified and flattered, and his attitude was very positive.
"Your Highness, this Dongzhu is too valuable. I am just a Zhaoyi. How dare I ask for such a precious thing? You absolutely cannot do that. Please don't embarrass me, Your Highness."
The Queen Mother glanced at Lin Junxue, who was sitting there expressionless, and pretended to
"No matter how precious the Dongzhu is, it is not as good as your ability to make the Emperor happy. It's just a Dongzhu. I'm sure the Queen won't mind."
