This time Concubine Li was still talking: "Sister, you are already older and virtuous, but it's just that you don't fight for anything, so you always treat others with contempt.
In fact, who of us doesn’t feel good about you? Yesterday we said..."
Xue Hengzhao came up with the tea respectfully and said: "Empress, you specially ordered this tea to be brewed three times. It's just right now..."
Concubine Fu was very puzzled, why did she come to deliver tea?
Besides, I never ordered this.
Xue Hengzhao pretended to pass the tea, but when he moved his hand, the whole bowl of tea poured on Concubine Fu.
"You deserve to die!" Xue Hengzhao quickly took a handkerchief to wipe Concubine Fu, but where could she wipe it?
Bishu and Youzhu also hurriedly stepped forward, helped Concubine Fu up and said, "Your Majesty, the servants are waiting for you. Go quickly and change your clothes!"
Concubine Li was also beside her and kept asking: "Is it okay, sister? Is this tea hot? Do you want to ask an imperial doctor to take a look?"
Concubine Fu was not angry, she just said: "This tea is okay, it's not too hot. But my clothes are soaked, so I have to change them anyway. I can't stay with my sister anymore, so you can do what you want!"
"Your Majesty, I put honey in this tea. I'm afraid you have to take a bath." Xue Hengzhao knelt on the ground, feeling extremely guilty.
"That's true of you! You're doing things carelessly. If I had known better, I wouldn't have given you this job." Bi Shu glared at Xue Hengzhao.
When Concubine Li heard that Concubine Fu wanted to take a bath, she said, "Sister, please take a good bath and change your clothes. I won't bother you anymore. It will be the same if you come back another day."
"Wei Zhong, send Sister Li Fei out for me." At this time, Fei Fu was still polite and thoughtful, "I'm really sorry for today."
The two maids helped Concubine Li into the inner room.
Youzhu said: "Mother, this tea is the leftover tea you drank yesterday. I put it there to water the flowers."
After hearing this, Concubine Fu said, "That's all I need to do is change my clothes."
Concubine Fu never puts honey in her tea.
After changing her clothes, Concubine Fu asked, "What's the name of that little palace maid?"
"As for the empress, her name is Xue Hengzhao, and she is Xue Yingchen's daughter." Bishu said.
Concubine Fu nodded and said, "He is a smart person."
They all knew that Xue Hengzhao did this just to interrupt Concubine Li and stop her from talking about things in the palace.
"We were all worried just now, but we didn't know what to do. Thanks to her trick." Youzhu also said, "Do you want to reward her?"
"No need for now, you should pay more attention to her on weekdays and see what her character is like." Concubine Fu said, "It's not that I'm stingy, it's that she is really sensitive about her status.
If Wan Wan is restless again, it will be a disaster to reuse her. "
"I understand what the empress means," Bishu said after hearing this. "Go back and check her tone."
Later, Bi Shu came out and Xue Hengzhao was still kneeling there.
"The empress said you should stop kneeling and get up!" Bi Shu stepped forward and pulled Xue Hengzhao up.
"Thank you for your generosity, my empress. Thank you for your generosity, sister." Xue Hengzhao's expression was very calm.
"Let's go outside, I have something to ask you." Bi Shu said and walked out.
Xue Hengzhao followed her and came to stand next to the flower garden in the courtyard.
"You did a good job just now, I want to thank you." Bishu got straight to the point.
"Sister, I've seen you outside. We are all in this palace, and we all serve the queen. Naturally, we have to think about the queen." Xue Hengzhao said, "But after all, we have offended the queen."
"That's right. Your loyalty is stronger than anything else, and I don't blame you." Bishu said, "But I don't have any rewards for you."
"It's a blessing that the empress is kind and generous, so she doesn't blame me. My sister is smart and generous, and she doesn't blame me for making my own decisions." Xue Hengzhao said, "I can't thank you enough, so why do you want any reward?"
"Do you really think so?" Bishu asked, paying attention to Xue Hengzhao's expression.
"Of course it is true. I also know that I am not qualified to serve tea to the empress, but the situation at that time was quite embarrassing and I could not discuss it further.
Besides, we have to be on guard against Concubine Li’s concubine’s suspicions. If you, sister, have been serving you all year round, you will naturally be careful and attentive, and nothing will go wrong.
If you are asked to do the same, it will inevitably make Concubine Li suspicious. It's better for me, a newcomer, to do it. It's natural to be nervous and make mistakes.
Besides, I thought that Concubine Li would definitely feel that a little palace maid like me would not dare to do such a thing deliberately.
In this way, she will treat it as just an accident and will not blame our queen. "
Xue Hengming understood that to achieve success in everything, it is not only to get things done, but also to convince the people involved without any resentment.
Otherwise, even though he has made meritorious deeds, he will not be able to please him in the end.
"You are indeed smart and meticulous." Bi Shu looked at Xue Hengzhao, without any complacency from the beginning to the end, "You are also steady."
"Thank you, sister. I have a lot to learn." Xue Hengzhao has always maintained a very low profile since he came here.
"Although your Majesty didn't reward you with anything, she did remember this. All you have to do is do it well." Bishu left these words, "I'll go in and serve your Majesty first."
At this time in Yangze Palace, Yao Ziyun was diligently beating the emperor's back.
The emperor paused for breath and said, "Queen, you have been working really hard these days. I feel that I have calmed down a lot. You should go back to Ronghua Palace to rest today!"
"I am not tired, as long as I can accompany your Majesty." Yao Ziyun always looked weak and virtuous in front of the emperor.
"I am very relieved to have you taking care of the harem. You can't be exhausted anymore, do you hear me?" The emperor held Yao Ziyun's hand, "I am studying Taoism and seeking immortality. The Xu family has been strongly opposed to it, even at the cost of shouting with me. Protest.
You are the only one who, although you are extremely reluctant to give up on me, is still unwilling to delay my path to immortality. I am deeply comforted by your general consciousness. "
After the abolition, Mrs. Xu and the emperor were married and had a stubborn temperament. She had always opposed the emperor's quest for immortality. Together with some ministers of the previous dynasty, she often argued with the emperor over these matters.
But now, neither Queen Xu nor the ministers from the previous dynasty are gone.
"Your Majesty is a god who descended to earth and experienced calamity in the mortal world. My wish is fulfilled if I can gain His Majesty's favor for a moment. How can I dare to be greedy again?" Yao Ziyun said with tears in her eyes.
It seems that he is completely dependent on the emperor, but he is trying his best to restrain himself.
"You are the queen of a country, and you are the mother of the world. One day, I will ascend to the throne, and Chong'er will ascend the throne.
At that time, I'm afraid he will still be young, and he will inevitably be confused when something happens, so you must pay more attention to him. After the emperor finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly and said, "I want to sleep for a while, so you can go ahead!" "
