Min Guiren smiled silently.

It's good that she is a foreigner, but she is not stupid, and she can naturally see that Queen Zhou's words are to calm things down, not to really trust Concubine Li.

Queen Zhou is not so stupid, so stupid that she easily believes in the evil wolf around her.

The palace maid opened the window, and the Min nobles looked at the courtyard, only to see Concubine Li take Yan'er and other palace people Tingting out of the Changchun Immortal Pavilion and go in the direction of the Xinghua Spring Pavilion.

She pursed her lips.

"Today, we don't go to the woods to ride horses and shoot arrows, so we have to stay at home. I'll go to Bitong Academy to see the little princess, or have a little princess with my sister. ”

……

Concubine Li went to the Xinghua Spring Pavilion, and Queen Zhou just finished her breakfast and was reading the account book in front of the bookcase.

Now that she is not in the palace, all the supplies in the imperial garden are managed by Su Youyi, and she is looking at the account books of the palace's internal affairs office.

Recently, the emperor and his concubines have been in the imperial garden for summer vacation, and the palace expenses are limited, and the account books look simple.

When she was about to finish reading, she suddenly heard Concubine Li coming, so she said, "Please ask her to sit outside, and the palace will come in a while." ”

Concubine Li sat in a regular manner on the rose chair outside, and before she had finished drinking half a cup of tea, Queen Zhou came out, she hurriedly got up and saluted, "Concubine please the queen Niangniang." ”

"Sit."

Queen Zhou's voice couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy, and she couldn't tell whether it was affectionate or cold.

Concubine Li raised her head and glanced at it, feeling bottomless.

However, she had a request for Queen Zhou today, so she had to take the initiative to speak, so she said with a smile: "Queen Mother, the concubine is here to make amends today." Because of the concubine's ugly archery skills, she almost injured the queen mother that day, and today she specially prepared a lily to make amends, and asked the queen to smile. ”

Empress Zhou glanced down, Concubine Li's courtesy was very generous, she glanced at it and passed.

For her, money is just a trivial matter, and she cares more about Concubine Li's heart.

"Concubine Li has a heart."

Queen Zhou said: "A long time has passed since the events of that day, and the palace has almost forgotten about it, so why bother to make amends again, so polite." ”

Concubine Li didn't know for a while whether Queen Zhou was being polite, or blaming her for coming too late, and she was worried.

Dan'er glanced at Concubine Li, and recalled that on the day of the incident, Concubine Li looked like Queen Zhou making a small report, and couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart.

Concubine Li is really mercenary, if it weren't for the fact that she realized the disadvantages of not being able to touch the bow horse these days, I am afraid that she would not come to make amends today.

Dan'er can think of this, and Queen Zhou can naturally think of it, so she is just faint, waiting for Concubine Li to speak the text.

Concubine Li smiled heapedly, "The concubine has been reflecting on herself behind closed doors these days, meditating on her own mistakes, feeling sorry for the queen's mother, and also feeling that the emperor's lesson is very reasonable." It's just that these days, I see the queen and the concubines and sisters having so much fun, but the concubines can't ...... together The concubine is really bitter in her heart. ”

Concubine Li said this later, with three points of sincerity.

She really suppressed her pain these days, it was too sad to stay alone in the empty room, those concubines and concubines didn't want to see her, and even the emperor didn't summon her.

She is like a person who has evaporated from the harem, and no one remembers her existence.

Concubine Li wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and Queen Zhou didn't see it clearly, I don't know if she was really crying.

She sighed softly.

"Recently, the sisters in the palace have gathered together, and I haven't seen you, and the palace is also worried about you."

Hearing Empress Zhou's words, Concubine Li's heart instantly ignited hope, and she was about to speak, when she heard Empress Zhou continue: "But the order that you are not allowed to touch the bow horse is the emperor's order, how can I, as the queen, oppose the emperor's will?" There is nothing to be done. So if you want to get along with the sisters all the time, there is a way in this palace. ”

"What's the method?"

"The emperor just didn't allow you to touch the bow horse, and he didn't let you be with the sisters."

Empress Zhou said with a smile: "Next time, everyone will meet to go horseback riding in the forest, whether it is archery, you can also come together - just don't ride a horse, don't shoot arrows." ”

Concubine Li: "......"

If you don't ride a horse or shoot an arrow, do you want her to stand next to her like a fool?

Empress Zhou can figure it out.

Concubine Li was embarrassed: "The queen mother's thoughts are good, but the concubine is standing on the side so stupidly, what is it like?" Now there is a lot of gossip about the concubines in the garden, and the concubines can't afford to lose this person, so they ask the queen to find another way for the concubines. ”

She looked at Empress Zhou expectantly, obviously hoping that Empress Zhou would intercede with the emperor for her.

Empress Zhou thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "That is the case, there is another way in the palace." You often go to get close to the harem sisters on weekdays, after all, everyone doesn't go to ride horses and shoot arrows every day, didn't you go today? Whether you often go to embroider with everyone or recite poetry, these emperors have not restricted you. ”

Concubine Li lowered her head in disappointment, unimpressed by this method.

Queen Zhou followed again: "You see what the scene was in the palace when Min Guiren was there, she was not favored, and she had no roots, didn't she go to the sisters in the palace every day to talk?" With sisters by your side, life will always be better, and you can do it, and so can you. ”

"Where is the concubine more noble than Min?"

Concubine Li said with a little sourness, "Min Guiren is young and beautiful, and she is liked by everyone, and all the sisters are willing to be close to her, and so is the queen mother." She was not favored before, but now she is very favored? The concubine is not as blessed as her, and she does not please the harem sisters. ”

Empress Zhou's face was a little solemn, "Are you not as good as her?" You're just not as accommodating as her. She's not as high as you are, and she doesn't want to bend down. Don't you take the initiative to get close to others, and blindly expect others to take the initiative to get close to you? Concubine Li, maybe you lived such a day before entering the palace, but you must know that everything is different from before after entering the palace. ”

Concubine Li's face turned pale.

She knew Queen Zhou's words in her heart, but she was the most reluctant to listen to others, this was the most embarrassing reality.

Thinking of the purpose of her coming today, Concubine Li had no choice but to swallow the humiliation in her stomach, she suddenly stood up and knelt down.

plopped, and even Queen Zhou was frightened.

"The concubine begs the queen to intercede for the concubine, and begs the emperor to take back his will! The emperor ordered like this, the concubine is better than dead! Ask the queen to help the concubines for the sake of our past friendships! ”

She fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face, hoarse.

Queen Zhou narrowed her eyes slightly, knowing that it was not easy for Concubine Li to do this part, but it was a pity - she had her own bottom line.

"The emperor's will will not be disobeyed by this palace, this point, this palace made it very clear to you from the beginning, there is no need to discuss it again."
