Chapter 182: Even the Empress Feels Pain
as very conservative. So even if two people were doing shameful things, outsiders couldn't see the key plot points. 。Although so, after all the commotion, Qin Luoyan was still blushing with shame. Esp...Sun Momo couldn't afford to waste any more time, she scrambled out like a frightened rabbit.
There were also a dozen or so maidservants serving in the hall. Seeing this scene, everyone had thoughts of calculation in their hearts. At least from now on, unless the Empress personally ordered it, they would not dare to bully Qin Luoyan at will.
A palace maid had tidied up the broken teacup fragments on the floor, but Fu Zi Mo showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he looked towards the Empress. The Empress felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze. After a long while, she couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, what is it that you are looking at this Palace with"
Fu Zi Mo seemed to be waiting for her words. As soon as she asked, he immediately replied, "This king is fine, but she's the one with something wrong." As he spoke, he turned his head and pulled Qin Luo Yan over.
Qin Luoyan couldn't help but be pulled by his forceful grip, tumbling into his arms. With so many people watching, she blushed and wanted to get up quickly, but who knew that Fu Zimo would press her down in his arms and even reach out to touch her forehead.
"Well, it seems you have a fever. Even soaking in cold water all day couldn't stop you from catching a chill," Fu Zimu said righteously with a touch of regret.
When would King Wuxuan ever get sick He just touched her forehead and said she had a cold... This skill of lying through his teeth is truly unrivaled in the world.
Qin Luoyan couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth, someone's shameless behavior once again refreshed her understanding.
The Empress was also frightened by his actions, stunned for a moment before reacting. There was some resentment in her eyes, but seeing Fu Zimu's determined look to plead his case, she felt somewhat helpless.
Finally, the Empress sighed and said, "Miss Qin must have caught a chill here in my palace. This is truly my fault for not taking better care of you."
"Well, although this King doesn't blame Her Majesty, the facts are as they are." Fu Zi Mo nodded solemnly. "This King doesn't mind, but this girl's body is rather weak. If she suffers another cold like this, her health might be ruined."
To get sick from a common cold is to be completely incapacitated That’s a novel idea! Besides, which eye did he see her catch a cold with
The Empress was so angry that she felt blood welling up in her chest, and the smile on her face was strained. However, she still gritted her teeth and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this palace still has a few extreme millennium ginseng. I will have someone stew it for Miss Qin to replenish her body."
“In that case… very good.” Fu Zi Mo’s face softened a bit. “However, this king has heard that the Empress Dowager received a thousand-year old black ginseng. Perhaps we should stew it together as well This young lady needs to recover her health so she can bear children for our royal family in the future. That would be the Empress Dowager’s merit, wouldn’t it”
Black-Bone Ginseng!
The Empress nearly fainted upon hearing this. That thousand-year-old black raven had taken her people years to find at the border, and she was planning to use it to nourish herself and give birth to a son and daughter for the Emperor. She never expected that cunning Fu Zi Mo would have his eyes on it.
Seeing that the empresses remained silent, Fu Zimuo said coldly, "Empress Dowager, wouldn't you be reluctant to part with them Forget it then. Since you're reluctant, I'll just go ask my elder brother for some good things later. I'll bring a few over to this girl. After all, you two are husband and wife, so who gives isn't giving right, Empress Dowager"
Should I just go to Fu Ziheng and complain
The Empress was so angry her teeth ached, but she still had to force a smile. “Your Highness is truly joking. How could this palace be unwilling Miss Qin will be the younger sister-in-law of this palace in the future. As an elder sister-in-law, how could I possibly be stingy with something like this If word got out, wouldn't people laugh at me”
Fu Zimuo nodded in satisfaction and pushed Qin Luoyan forward, “Don’t just stand there dumbstruck, quickly go up and thank the Empress for her generosity.”
Qin Luoyan was still a little dazed. Even a fool could see how distressed the Empress Dowager was, she really suspected that if she truly ate these things, she might have indigestion. However, under Fu Zimo's urging, she had no choice but to step forward and bow to the Empress Dowager in gratitude.
With his objective achieved, Fu Zimo finally took the initiative to bid farewell in the empress's expectant gaze. Just as Fu Zimo stepped out, the empress, rubbing her temples, returned to the inner quarters with the help of an elderly maidservant. She didn't even have the heart to make things difficult for Qin Luoyan anymore.
That night, Qin Luoyan drank the millennium ginseng soup. The soup had a slightly bitter taste, not particularly delicious, but seeing all the palace attendants cast envious and jealous glances, she felt that the soup was probably quite good. Otherwise, why would everyone be so envious
For three consecutive days, the Empress only sent Lao MoMo, a specialist who taught palace maids etiquette, to instruct Qin LuoYan. The Empress herself never appeared before Qin LuoYan, and for this, Qin LuoYan expressed understanding.
No one wants to see the perpetrator after being hit so hard.
But in this state, Qin Luoyan felt very good. The Empress didn't want to see her, and she wouldn't have wanted to see that two-faced viper anyway.
However, such a comfortable life only lasted for three days. Because on this day, the palace was going to hold a plum blossom banquet. It was said that the most beloved concubine Shu Gui from her hometown had invited a chef who was skilled in using plums in cooking. She wanted all the sisters in the palace to enjoy a delicious meal with the fragrance of plum blossoms.
Of course the Emperor was delighted. A harmonious and joyful atmosphere in the harem was something every emperor cherished, so naturally, he had to support it. He immediately issued an imperial edict, inviting all the concubines in the palace to attend the banquet.
Not long ago, a new batch of court ladies had just been sent into the palace. This banquet was also the time for the court ladies to show themselves, so this banquet was given some different colors.
Such a banquet was a must-attend for the Empress, the purpose being quite simple: to intimidate the young maidens. As almost everyone in the palace would be attending this grand event, Qin Luo'yan, as a guest, naturally couldn't be forgotten. So early that morning, she received an order from the Empress summoning her to the banquet.
Qin Luo'yan had no right to refuse, so she changed into a plain dress, randomly picked a crimson hairpin and inserted it into her hair before following the palace maid who was leading the way to the banquet.
Since it was a Plum Blossom Banquet, the venue was naturally set in the Plum Grove. The Imperial Palace was vast enough, and the grandeur of the Plum Grove left Qin Luo'yan speechless. At a glance, she couldn't see the end. If one were to suddenly be placed within it, they would very easily forget that they were deep inside this huge prison called the Imperial Palace.
Qin LuoYan just walked to the edge of the plum forest when she saw four or five palace maids dressed in youthful and beautiful attire walking towards her. They were different from the regular palace maid's outfits, they must be the new court ladies who had just entered the palace this time... but...
"Her" Qin Luoyan's footsteps faltered. She hadn't expected to meet an acquaintance here.
