When the emperor accompanied Jiang Zuiyao out of the courtyard, the queen still stood there without moving, as if she had deliberately stopped. She glanced down at the resentful imperial concubine who was kneeling on the ground, raised a gloating smile on her lips, and said:

"Your Majesty is gone, why are you still kneeling? Get up."

Seeing the imperial concubine who had been kneeling for a long time, the palace maid felt distressed and quickly stretched out her hand to help the imperial concubine stand up.

The imperial concubine stood up. She looked a little shaky because she had knelt for too long. However, she still had to hold on in front of the queen. She firmly supported the maid's hand and said coldly: "The queen should be very proud to see my concubine in such a state of desolation.

Bar?"

"Of course, I am not only very proud, I am very satisfied." The queen did not hide anything, but showed her pride clearly.

In this way, the imperial concubine became even more angry. She took the maid's hand and squeezed it harder, causing the maid to frown in pain.

When the queen saw it, she pursed her lips and smiled sarcastically: "I never thought that the imperial concubine who used to be so happy would be like today. I think that girl Mu Bi is also quite capable, and she can make you suffer a lot, tsk tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, that's really Feng Shui.

Take turns!”

The imperial concubine had just suffered a big loss from Jiang Zuiyao, and now she was being ridiculed by her former rival, the queen. She was so angry that her lungs almost exploded. She suppressed the anger in her heart and trembled all over.

When the queen saw that the concubine was so angry and knew that she no longer dared to cause trouble, she pursed her lips and smiled with joy: "Hehehe..."

Accompanied by a burst of pleasant laughter, the queen leisurely walked down the steps and wandered away.

The imperial concubine stood there and did not move for a long time. The palace maid tried to persuade her: "Madam, please don't be like them. It has just rained and the wind has picked up. Go back quickly to avoid catching a cold."

The autumn wind blew by, swaying the corners of the imperial concubine's gauze skirt, and she uttered a vicious sentence: "I will repay you twice as much for today's humiliation! Queen! Mu Bin! Just wait for me!"

Jiang Zuiyao returned to the side hall and lay on the bed all the time. The emperor even asked many people to serve her attentively. She was served several dishes of delicacies from the mountains and seas to replenish her body, and the brocade cotton wadding to protect her body was also brought out. Not only that, the emperor was also afraid that

Jiang Zuiyao caught a cold after the heavy rain and asked someone to bring in a heater.

It was only early autumn and the weather was not too cold yet, so the emperor was making a fuss. Faced with such love, Jiang Zuiyao just accepted it without interest.

She kept staring at the door, because Susu disappeared halfway and never came back. She did not dare to look for her rashly, for fear of being discovered.

When dinner was served, Jiang Zuiyao felt relieved when she saw Su Su walking in with food.

"Mu'er, let's have something to eat. Do you want me to feed you?" The emperor sat beside the couch and asked softly.

Jiang Zuiyao lifted up the quilt and sat up, shaking her head and saying, "I can do it myself, so I don't dare bother Your Majesty."

While eating, Jiang Zuiyao glanced at Su Su. The pair of shoes in the corner of her skirt had been wet by the rain. It seemed that she had not had time to change them in a hurry.

After filling her stomach, Jiang Zuiyao complained of dizziness and lay back on the bed. The emperor kept beside her, saying greetings and greetings. Jiang Zuiyao was reluctant in every possible way, but she still had to give a perfunctory answer.

Until late at night, when it was time to fall asleep, Jiang Zuiyao said: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well. I'm afraid I won't be able to serve Your Majesty tonight."

The emperor replied nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. You are injured, so I won't force you."

After saying this, the emperor asked the palace maid to come in and undress her. Jiang Zuiyao took a look and said hurriedly: "Why don't your majesty let the other sisters in the palace sleep with you tonight."

These words made the emperor a little unhappy. Although he didn't say anything, his face looked a little gloomy and he still asked the palace maid to change his clothes.

After that, all the servants were dismissed. The emperor sat by the couch and said coolly: "Are you blaming me for not punishing the noble concubine or venting your anger on your behalf?"

This made Jiang Zuiyao's face startled. She just didn't want to be with the Qing Emperor, so how could she mean it? The Emperor's thinking was a little too sentimental, right?

But Jiang Zuiyao would not express such thoughts, and hurriedly said: "How could it be? Your Majesty is overly worried. I have never thought of it this way."

The emperor thought this was a sign of compromise, so he took Jiang Zuiyao's hand and said, "Mu'er, I know you have been wronged today, but you are also at fault. You should not have held the imperial concubine hostage."

Jiang Zuiyao wanted to say something, but the emperor interrupted her and said: "I also know that you have no choice, but I am the emperor and I must take the overall situation into consideration. If this matter has to be divided into right and wrong

Let me be clear, neither you nor the concubine look good on your face, and you will both be punished."

At this point, what else could Jiang Zuiyao say, other than to follow the emperor's words and say: "I understand, I don't understand the rules in the palace. It's my fault today."

After hearing this, the emperor smiled slightly, cherishing Jiang Zuiyao's sensibleness at the moment, and said: "Don't worry, Mu'er, I will protect you in the future, no one can bully you anymore."

Jiang Zuiyao nodded perfunctorily. What was still on his mind was that matter. He asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what about tonight..."

The emperor said considerately: "I won't touch you tonight, okay?"

Despite this, Jiang Zuiyao was not satisfied. What she wanted was for the Emperor of Qing to get out and disappear completely from her eyes right now!

But this seemed to be impossible. For the sake of the overall situation, Jiang Zuiyao's character was to win the favor of the Qing Emperor. She could not immediately change her face and coax the emperor to leave. She could only compromise and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."

"It's late at night. Go to sleep. My failure to go to the morning court today has already caused a disturbance. We can't delay tomorrow any longer." As the emperor spoke, he lifted up the quilt and lay down.

After a long time, the emperor's heavy breathing sounded, accompanied by a slight snore.

Jiang Zuiyao knew that he was asleep, so she turned her back to the Qing Emperor in disgust, glanced at the arm around her waist, and threw the hand away in disgust.

Fortunately, the emperor was sleeping deeply and did not notice.

"Huh..." A heavy breath came out of Jiang Zuiyao's nose. She bit her lip angrily, wishing she could kick the man next to her!

But in the end, I still swallowed the resentment in my heart.

The so-called inability to control oneself is nothing more than that.

Jiang Zuiyao never expected that she would become the new favorite of the Emperor of Qing. What she never expected was that her face would be very similar to someone else. What she never expected was that today she was just going to check it out.

Visiting Prince Gong's residence, he offended the jealous concubine.

But again, there are pros and cons in everything.

Today, Jiang Zuiyao broke her forehead in order to protect herself, so she had a reason not to go to bed anymore. Otherwise, she would be really worried. She couldn't get the emperor drunk and give her medicine every day. She even said that after a long time, it would be inevitable.

It's suspicious.

At this time, the emperor turned over and opened his eyes from his sleep. He found that Jiang Zuiyao's back was facing him and called out: "Mu'er, are you asleep?"

Jiang Zuiyao quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, and the emperor raised his arms again and put his arms around her body, resting his head on her back, and continued to sleep.
