Chapter 177 Positive and Deprecation

Obviously talking about Huang Cairen, why did he run to the palace man while talking about it? Empress Dowager Shu was very puzzled, "Why did the queen say this?"

"Empress dowager, this palace is not as good as outside. As a royal, she has restrictions on her words and deeds. It is because of this that the palace people are arranged in various temples, not only to serve them, but also to remind their masters anytime and anywhere what should be done and what should not be done. Especially when they have just entered the palace, they inevitably feel strange about everything here, so the concubine specially arranged a group of experienced and qualified palace people to serve in various palaces, so that they can play the role of auxiliary guidance, so that the sisters who have just entered the palace can live a safe life.

However, the recent atmosphere of the harem has really made my concubine a headache. It is said that these palace people failed to do their best to provoke so many right and wrong. I thought it was time to rectify them. Otherwise, if they go on like this, their words and deeds will be casual, and the rules of the palace will be broken!"

Queen Su didn't name this, but everyone could hear it. Bian Yuzhen looked ugly. Isn't it her who has caused trouble recently? Huang Yuejiao's expression was also uncomfortable. Although she was not the first to cause trouble, after all, she also had a quarrel. If she was held accountable, she could not run away!

Qin Guifei glanced at Xiaoju kneeling behind Huang Yuejiao, "The Empress said that the palace people have indeed been scattered recently. The master is not familiar with the terrain in the palace. This close servant should lead the way. How can he get lost at such an important time?

As soon as Xiaoju heard this, her face suddenly turned pale and hurriedly kowtowed and pleaded guilty. "It was the maidservant who neglected for a moment. Please forgive me!"

Huang Yuejiao was afraid that Xiaoju would be punished, so she quickly defended her, "It was the concubine who coveted the beautiful scenery in the palace and accidentally separated from Xiaoju. It's not Xiaoju's fault. If the queen wants to punish her, she should punish the concubine!"

Wen Caiqing saw Jiang Shize's gloomy expression. Empress Dowager Shu frowned almost invisibly and smiled, "The Empress is in charge of the harem, with great pains and hard work. After a while, Caiqing must give a toast to the Empress Dowager's birthday wine. Empress Dowager, you don't mind Caiqing to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, will you?

Hearing her words, Jiang Shize's restrained eyes couldn't help turning to her. Seeing half of her cheeks red and swollen, her eyes flashed quickly, and her expression was much more gloomy.

Empress Dowager Shu didn't notice the change in her son's expression. She smiled and said, "How can the mourning family mind? The queen has worked really hard for our harem. It's not just you, but also a cup of mourning for her later!"

Looking at Wen Caiqing, her eyes were a little more approving. If she hadn't turned the conversation seemingly inadvertently, I would have been restless about today's birthday banquet!

"The Empress Dowager's words are serious. This is what my concubine should do. Your words really frightened my concubine!" Empress Su looked flattered, "Today is the birthday of the Empress Dowager, and I should be a concubine to toast you!"

"Yes, today is a good day. The queen will temporarily put down the matter of the harem and happily have a meal with her family!"

"Yes, Empress Dowager!" Empress Su hurried to self-criticism, "I was anxious for a moment and said something inappropriate, which swept away the Empress Dowager's interest. Please forgive me!"

Empress Dowager Shu smiled twice, "You are all so well-behaved, and your family is happy. What do you say that you can't forgive me?" After saying that, he turned to Jiang Shize, "Your Majesty, the gift you just mentioned is not this Huang Cairen, is it?"

"No, Queen Mother." Jiang Shize relaxed his expression and replied.

"It turned out to be a coincidence. I thought there was something to write later!" Empress Dowager Shu raised her hand to Huang Yuejiao with a smile, "Huang Cairen, get up quickly. Wearing such beautiful clothes, don't get dirty!"

Huang Yuejiao's heart was relieved and quickly thanked En and stood up.

"Huang Cairen's dress is really beautiful!" Qin Guifei looked at her and admired her with envy on her face.

"Yes, this style is really unique." Someone immediately echoed.

As a woman, Empress Su naturally understood what Huang Yuejiao was dressed like this. The more others praised Huang Yuejiao, the more panicked she became. She smiled deeply and said, "The hands of the clothes of the Shangfu Bureau are really getting more and more coincidental. The clothes are so contrasting!"

She implied that the clothes were just beautiful, but unfortunately, the speaker was intentional and the listener was unintentional. Qin Guifei, who was fascinated by the beautiful clothes, did not hear her mean of belittling Huang Yuejiao. She followed the words and asked, "I don't know who made Huang Cairen's dress? I will also call her to make a dress for me another day!"

Haiman stood below and heard it, and his heart beat violently. Lin Ziqin couldn't help looking back at her with worry in her eyes.

Huang Yuejiao didn't expect that Qin Guifei would ask this in public. She was stunned for a long time before she said, "This dress was not made by the ladies of the Shangfu Bureau. It was brought into the palace from Huaiyue!"

She knew that Hyman didn't want to show her face in front of people, so she had to make up such a lie.

Is that right? So it was brought!" Qin Guifei's expression was quite regretful, "It turns out that there are such skillful tailors outside the palace!"

"Sister, let's talk about this dress another day. The Empress Dowager can't wait to see the emperor's gift!" Empress Su suppressed her anger and reminded Qin Guifei.

Qin Guifei also knew that she had said a few more words and hurriedly smiled, "Yes, yes, my concubine also wants to see the congratulatory gift from the emperor!"

Empress Dowager Shu did wait a little anxiously, "Well, your Majesty, show it to your family!"

Jiang Shize nodded and turned his head to look at Lou Ming. Lou Ming hurriedly waved to the two maids who stopped outside the door. The two maids of honor got the signal and came over with a large tray covered with red cloth.

Everyone focused on the tray and guessed what the emperor would give to his mother.

Wait for the two maids of honor to stand still, Lou Ming quickly stepped forward and slowly uncovered the red cloth. Suddenly, it turned out to be a pot of coral peony, full of branches and leaves, lifelike flowers.

It is worthy of being the king of a country, and the gift is unmatched!

Seeing everyone's amazing expressions, Lou Ming did not feel it and quickly explained, "The emperor knew that the empress dowager loves peonies, so he specially ordered the craftsman to carve this pot of coral peonies. I wish the empress dowager auspicious and longevity!"

Everyone woke up and sang in unison, "Congratulations to the Empress Dowager on being rich and auspicious and a long life!"

"Okay, okay!" Empress Dowager Shu's heart was blooming, her face was red, and she nodded repeatedly, which really looked like a birthday star.

The emperor pushed the birthday to **, and then the banquet was served. The enemy was right in front of him. Lin Ziqin was unwilling to eat and was afraid that she would do something on impulse. Taking advantage of the opportunity for the maid to retreat, she greeted Hyman to leave the Chang'an Hall.

"Sister, are you angry with me?" After leaving the Chang'an Hall and walking to a place where there was no one, Lin Ziqin stopped and looked at Hyman with guilt.

Hyman gave her an angry look, "Of course I'm angry. You promised me nothing and quietly hid the knife. Do you know how dangerous you have done? Not to mention attacking that person, even if the knife is found, you may be convicted..."

"I know!" Lin Ziqin lowered her head and said, "I didn't want to, but... I don't feel reconciled..."

"Well, let's not talk about that. Let's go back to the washing room!" After all, it didn't happen to me, and I couldn't fully understand her mood. Hyman didn't want to blame her too much. Fortunately, nothing happened, which was better than anything.

The two walked along the way for a long time, and the more they walked, the more strange the scenery became. "Sister, are we lost?" Lin Ziqin stopped doubtfully.

This palace is really too big, and Hyman is also a little uncertain, "Let's find someone to ask for directions!"

"Hmm!" Lin Ziqin answered and looked around. She saw a eunuch in front of her hurriedly walking over and hurried forward, "This father-in-law, please wait a moment!"

The eunuch slowed down and turned around with questions. The two sides looked at each other and were stunned together...
