"Did the Queen come here just to tell me this? I know that the Queen actually doesn't like me at all, because I can feel it. People in the harem don't seem to like me either. They think that I have taken advantage of the Queen, but they are like this He doesn’t know what’s good and what’s good.”
Qiong Hua smiled and said, "But so what, even if this is the case, I don't want to admit it! I just want to be a unique person in His Majesty's heart, not someone else's substitute, let alone the empress's substitute!"
Qiong Hua said this very righteously. Today he finally said what was on his mind, especially to the Queen. He felt that it was a little bit braver.
"Okay, okay, I know this has always been in your heart. Do you know what I'm thinking when I see you like this?"
Taoyao was always calm, as if she was talking about other people's affairs.
"I think it's great to be young. I'm not afraid of anything. I hope you can still think of your bold look today and won't regret it."
This can be regarded as Taoyao's last piece of advice to Qionghua. In the original world, even if the original owner was gone, wouldn't Qionghua still not get what he wanted in the end?
In the end, didn't she become the mediocre one in the harem? How could she still be unique?
"Please rest assured, my dear! I will never regret it!"
Qionghua bit her lip hard, showing no fear. She would never regret it.
Suddenly, he heard a voice outside. It was His Majesty who was coming. Qionghua's eyes lit up and he immediately had something in mind.
"Why do you have to be so aggressive? Yesterday I was outside in the rain for so long, but I see you don't have any mercy at all. Do you have to come here to scold me today?"
Qionghua pinched the quilt and immediately put on an aggrieved look, her eyes already turning red as she spoke.
Taoyao didn't react at all, knowing that it was Xiao He who was coming.
"What is the Queen doing here?"
As soon as Xiao He came in, he heard Qiong Hua's aggrieved voice and frowned. He didn't know what happened. When he saw Tao Yao here, he had a bad feeling.
The facts in the harem these days really make him feel a little irritable. Dealing with government affairs on weekdays feels a bit annoying. He just wants to keep the harem quiet. Isn't this difficult?
The queen in the past was not like this. She would manage the harem in an orderly manner and never let these things bother her.
"Why can't I be here? Isn't it my duty to visit the sick concubine?"
Taoyao stood up and looked at Xiao He. If the original owner saw his cold eyes, he would be heartbroken again, right?
It's a pity that she is not the original owner and does not have these human emotions. She just finds these things boring and ridiculous.
"I've always heard rumors in the harem that Mrs. Qionghua is very similar to me, vaguely like my substitute?"
Tao Yao asked curiously, "Looking at Your Majesty's behavior, I am afraid that this substitute has surpassed my position. How many times has Your Majesty been so indifferent to me because of Qiong Hua?"
This is what really makes the original protagonist heartbroken and despairing. Isn't it said that he is just a substitute, but why does his status really surpass his own?
"What are you talking about, Queen? Talking nonsense in front of me is not something you would do!"
Xiao He looked at Taoyao coldly, feeling that the person standing in front of him had become so strange. How could the former queen say such harsh words, even in front of him?
One can imagine what outrageous words she would say when facing Qionghua. Is this still the dignified and gentle queen she once was? Why has there been such a big change?
"Your Majesty has already done it, are you afraid to say it? I have endured it for more than half a year. Do you really have no self-awareness except Your Majesty? Do you really think that no matter what happens, I should endure it unconditionally? Even if Qiong Hua has already done something wrong. At this point?"
Tao Yao asked questions word for word, and it was obvious that Xiao He was very impatient. He didn't want to be disturbed by these fights in the harem, so he should discipline Qiong Hua well.
In the past, the original owner did manage everything in the harem in an orderly manner and didn't want Xiao He to be bothered by these things. But does anyone appreciate it? It seems that she doesn't. She just thinks that all this is what she should do.
Just like Taoyao now doesn't tolerate it at all, but Xiao He feels that the person he used to be has changed. How ridiculous is this?
"Why does the Queen hate me so much? I don't know if I was ignorant and did many wrong things, but yesterday I knelt in the rain for so long just because I wanted to apologize to the Queen! Can the Queen still not tolerate me?"
Qionghua stood up again at the right time and said aggrievedly, tears already flowing down his face.
In fact, she felt a little aggrieved when it came to what happened yesterday. After suffering such a big sin, she had a fever all night last night, and her head felt dizzy when she took medicine in the morning.
But it doesn't matter, as long as I can win back His Majesty's heart just like now. It can be seen that Your Majesty already has opinions on the Queen.
"If I still feel uncomfortable, I will kneel outside for a few more hours until I feel relieved!"
Seeing that Taoyao still didn't respond, Qionghua gritted his teeth and just wanted to get out of bed, but he felt weak and fell to the ground.
Xiao He felt distressed and went directly to hug him to the bed. Qionghua was secretly happy. Sure enough, what sister Li Fei said was right. Many times, you can't confront someone head-on and you have to learn to show weakness.
"Queen, do you still remember what you used to look like?"
Xiao He just asked coldly, he just wanted the queen to return to her former self, and didn't want her to become more bitter and mean.
"Then your Majesty, do you remember what you were like before? Was your Majesty ever so indifferent to me? Would you scold me again and again for others? Do you still remember the jade pendant you once gave me?
Unexpectedly, His Majesty gave the jade pendant to Mrs. Qionghua again. In Your Majesty's heart, Mrs. Qionghua's position is as important as mine, and I am not afraid that it is already more important than me. "
Tao Yao smiled and shook her head. This was a confusing and bad debt to begin with, and she couldn't figure it out clearly.
Xiao He was afraid that he didn't even know who the most important person in his heart was, because he didn't have this awareness at all.
Because there are so many women in the harem, which woman dares to say that she is the most important? Even the original owner does not have this confidence.
"At this moment, I'd better not stay here and be an eyesore. Mrs. Qionghua has already been wronged. So Your Majesty, it's better to stay here and comfort her, so I'm leaving!"
Before Xiao He could say anything, Tao Yao had already left. Coming here today would probably bring the two of them closer together, which would be good.
Seeing the person leave, Qiong Hua felt relieved, and there was a little bit of pride in his eyes.
This time, I finally defeated the queen for once. I didn’t kneel for so long and suffered such great grievances as yesterday!
"Actually, the Queen used to be a very good person. She had a monk-like temperament and would not care about such trivial matters at all. But now she has become like this, and I feel very embarrassed."
Xiao He looked at where Taoyao was standing just now and felt a little dazed.
Why do you seem to be drifting away from the person you once loved the most, and why do you seem to be unable to even speak a few words?
When she first brought Qiong Hua back, the Queen had some reactions, but could she not become like this? Could she really not tolerate Qiong Hua?
"Your Majesty, maybe people will change. I understand that the Queen is angry, so as long as I can calm him down. But the most important thing is that I really want to be with Your Highness all the time. I know all this But it was all given by His Majesty, so in my heart, Your Majesty is the most powerful person!"
Qionghua threw herself into Xiao He's arms, her face full of joy.
How wonderful the atmosphere is now. Finally, that annoying person is gone. There are only myself and His Majesty in the room. We can say whatever we want. How wonderful!
So what if the queen is a noble queen? She has already lost in front of him several times. Isn't she going to lose this time too?
But I still have to thank Sister Li Fei for her advice. I must thank her properly in the future!
"Yeah, maybe people change."
Xiao He sighed, not sure whether he was talking about the queen or himself.
People can indeed change. I used to be so loving and inseparable from the Queen, but how did it end up like this now?
They couldn't say a few words every time they met, and the only things they could interfere with were the matters between the two children. But if they talked too much, it would always make them unhappy.
"But it doesn't matter. I will always be with His Highness no matter what. No matter whether I am happy or unhappy, no matter what kind of grievances I have to suffer, I want to be by His Highness's side without any regrets!"
Qionghua said coquettishly, at this moment she really felt proud of the spring breeze. She was able to make the queen angry just now, so how could it not be considered her own ability?
I just like this feeling. Only I am the most unique one, not someone else’s glory, nor someone else’s substitute!
"good."
Xiao He smiled and nodded, holding Qiong Hua tightly in his arms, finally feeling a little more at ease.
He didn't feel that what he did was wrong. He was the emperor, how could he allow a woman to speak coldly in front of him?
Being able to tolerate the queen is based on the friendship that has existed for many years. If the queen continues like this, then it is better not to meet her in the future.
What I like is a little girl like Qiong Hua. She will not become as mean as the queen. She will always stay at her most beautiful. How great is this!
"Mother, I really feel that Your Majesty has changed. If you were a little lucky in the past, then today I feel that he is really different from before!"
On the way back to the palace, Yun Xi frowned all the time and was not happy at all.
She had always had a premonition in her heart, as if His Majesty would never return to the way he was before, and the time when he and his empress were so loving were all in the past, and they all fell apart because of Qionghua's appearance.
"It's always been like this. There's nothing different. If you want to expect the undivided attention of an emperor, it's a joke."
In fact, Taoyao's words can be regarded as speaking to the original owner. Isn't she immersed in those past relationships?
The biggest problem is that she has beautified her past relationships too much and is not willing to believe in facing the cruel facts, so the appearance of a younger Qiong Hua can easily break all these filters. .
"But…"
Yun Xi bit her lip and wanted to say something else. It was obviously not like this. It was clear that His Majesty was very good to the Queen in the past.
But it's hard to explain why he was so good, because His Majesty was so good to other concubines.
In the past, it was easier for Concubine Shu than for Concubine Xian, let alone the current Mrs. Qionghua, who was held in the palm of her hand and loved, so what are the good things in the past?
No wonder the empress becomes so desperate and always says very disappointing things, so the empress must have understood all this, right?
