Chapter 225 Saying Wrong
Thinking of the prince Yao Yujiao, I couldn't help thinking of the child lost by Xiao Shufei. If it hadn't been for Xiao Shufei, she might have given birth to the prince by now, and according to the emperor's love for her, maybe the queen's position might have been her.
Yao Yujiao had a burst of resentment when she thought of this, and she couldn't wait to pull out Xiao Shufei's bones and frustrate the ashes.
The queen took a deep look at Yao Yujiao, and a trace of light flashed in her eyes. Presumably her words had inserted straight into Yao Yujiao's heart like a sharp sword.
"Yes, of course, there is no beauty in the palace, but it is important to grasp the beauty in the emperor's heart. Otherwise, even if you are in a high position, it will be futile." Yao Yujiao said with a smile.
The queen still had a smile on her face and did not speak, as if Yao Yujiao's words were not to her at all. She was in a high position. Isn't that what the queen said?
Song Jinzhi took a deep look at the two of them. Although they seemed to be unable to see any emotions on the surface, it was not difficult to hear the confrontation between them from their words.
Song Jinzhi is also very puzzled, why must the queen target Yao Yujiao? In the past, even when Xiao Shufei was there, it was not like this. This time she targeted Yao Yujiao so much, has Yao Yujiao already threatened her?
When Song Jinzhi thought of this, he understood why the queen had to attract her.
"It may not be a good thing to be in a high position, but I hope to always be accompanied by green lanterns to pray for the emperor." The queen took a sip of tea and said lightly.
"I didn't expect that the Empress was still so predestined to be a Buddha. If the emperor knew, he would definitely be very happy." Lan Guiren opened his mouth at the right time.
"The queen has always been kind-hearted, and my sister feels that she still has to learn from the queen." Yao Yujiao spoke lightly.
"If the Jade Concubine is willing, she will go to the Dali Temple to pick up the Empress Dowager after a few days, so that she can pray for the emperor for a few days. The Jade Concubine will also go with the palace." The queen was still smiling, but her eyes looked sharp at Yao Yujiao.
Yao Yujiao took a deep look at the queen. The queen said that she had no chance to debate at all. Isn't it just to find a reason for her to leave? Fortunately, the queen will also go, which means that she will not be in danger, but when she comes back, the harem doesn't know whose world it will be.
"Since the empress has said so, it is not easy for my sister to refuse. Besides, praying for the emperor is the only thing my sister can do for the emperor. My sister will definitely follow the empress to Dali Temple." Yao Yujiao said word by word at the queen.
The queen nodded at Yao Yujiao and seemed to be satisfied with her answer.
"Is the Empress Dowager coming back this time?" Ji Shuidong asked.
The Empress Dowager went to Dali Temple to pray for Daliang because of the last time the crow led the road. She went there for more than half a year and didn't expect to come back this time.
"Well, the empress dowager is not in good health. The emperor ordered the empress dowager to take it back." The queen said lightly, and she was also a little worried about the empress dowager's health. The empress dowager has always been very good to her. This time she comes back, she may be able to help her.
"Well, I don't know if my concubine has a chance to pick up the empress dowager." Ji Shuidong said lightly that in fact, she did not want to pick up the empress dowager, but because she wanted to go out for a walk. She has been in the palace for more than two years and has never left here. Now she wants to go out to see.
Ji Shuidong's unintentional words made the queen frown slightly. I don't know if it was a mistake for her to promote Ji Shuidong. The reason why she wanted to take Yao Yujiao was to let Ji Shuidong and Song Jinzhi be favored, so as to compete with Yao Yujiao. She really didn't expect that Ji Shuidong would say this. .
"This time I'm going to pick up the Empress Dowager, so you don't have to go." The queen spoke faintly, with a trace of impatience on her face.
Ji Shuidong's face immediately showed a look of disappointment. Song Jinzhi looked at Ji Shuidong and shook his head slightly. She already knew the queen's intention. Who knew that Ji Shuidong would say such heartless words. Isn't this not to make the queen's plan unable to complete?
"If Ji Guiren wants to go, he will go out with us. Besides, it must be Ji Guiren's wish to pray for the emperor." Yao Yujiao finally showed a smile on her face and said quickly.
"Yes, since Ji Guiren is so careful, the queen should not stop Ji Guiren. Doesn't this show Ji Guiren's attachment to the emperor?" Lan Yan couldn't help covering her smile after saying that, and it seemed that she could no longer hide her smile.
Ji Shuidong couldn't help but be stunned when she heard their words. She didn't even think of her unintentional words, or even her brain, which would cause such an effect. She looked at the queen. The queen's face was not as good as before. Presumably she had let the emperor because of this sentence. After that, I was unhappy.
"I just said, but I really didn't..." Ji Shuidong hurriedly wanted to explain.
"Well, since Ji Guiren is so dedicated to the emperor, let's go together." The queen quickly interrupted Ji Shuidong's words and said lightly. Of course, she had guessed what Ji Shuidong wanted to say in the next words. It was nothing more than what she said casually. If Ji Shuidong really said so, Yao Yujiao would grasp the handle again. At that time, I'm afraid that Ji Shuidong would have unconsciously let Yao Yujiao I caught the handle.
If Yao Yujiao pursues it, I'm afraid that she will say that Ji Shuidong will not miss the emperor and unwilling to pray for the emperor.
Ji Shuidong's eyes were full of doubts. Obviously, she didn't know why the queen stopped her, but she was originally timid, and now she dared not say anything more when the queen said this.
"Ji Guiren doesn't want to go? Why doesn't your face seem to be happy?" Lan Yan said with a gloating look on her face.
"How come? Praying for the emperor is a blessing for my concubine. Of course, my concubine is willing to go." Ji Shuidong said helplessly on his face.
Lan Yan smiled and said nothing more. The queen rubbed her head with her hand, and there was already some fatigue on her face.
"The queen must be tired, and my concubine won't bother." Yufei opened her mouth faintly and stood up to leave.
Lan Yan also went out with Yao Yujiao. Song Jinzhi was also a little tired and wanted to leave. Only when she wanted to open her mouth, she saw that the Empress seemed to have something to say, so she did not move.
"Empress..." Ji Shuidong glanced at Song Jinzhi and said nothing more. His expression seemed to be taboo about Song Jinzhi.
Song Jinzhi raised a faint smile on her lips and did not feel unhappy with Ji Shuidong's words. She didn't care much, but just smiled slightly to ease the embarrassment.
"It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it directly." The queen glanced at the two of them and said.
Ji Shuidong took a look at Song Jinzhi and then said, "Empress, did I say something wrong?"
The queen sighed slightly, as if suppressing her anger, and took a deep look at Ji Shuidong. She was a little helpless about her words, but she still said, "Ji Guiren, do you know what it means to take away the Jade Concubine this time?"
Ji Shuidong thought for a while, and then his face turned red. He already knew the meaning of the queen's words, but he had said it just now. Isn't it a slap in the face? No wonder the queen is so angry.
"Queen, my concubine was really unintentional just now. I didn't expect it to cause such a result." Ji Shuidong quickly explained.
The Empress sighed and put her eyes on Song Jinzhi from Ji Shuidong's body. Since she didn't carry Song Jinzhi on her back just now, it means that she did not treat Song Jinzhi as an outsider at all. Presumably Song Jinzhi also knew it.
"Nothing, since everything has been settled like this, there is no turning point. You go back." The queen said faintly, but her eyes at Song Jinzhi became a little deep.
Ji Shuidong didn't seem to have finished talking, and it was difficult for the queen to say anything, so he had to leave.
