Chapter 118 Shen Zhiyao knows how to play tricks
"Of course I'm tired! I'm so tired that I can fall asleep right here!" Shen Zhiyao blinked her peach blossom eyes and said coquettishly, "But when I think about it, I wanted to go with the queen in Renshou Palace, but was left alone by the queen dowager. I feel very uncomfortable. No matter how tired I am today, I have to come and see the queen!"
Shen Zhiyao's words sounded like a couple who were cruelly separated by the empress dowager. Shijin and Huayun, who were standing by, got goosebumps all over their bodies after hearing them!
They all looked at the Queen, only to find that she was as calm as if she were immune to the danger and still looked nonchalant.
"My queen mother wants to keep you here because she thinks you are lovable. You are a blessing that many concubines in this palace would love to have. What good will it bring to you if you follow me? Do you like to accompany me to deal with the chores in the harem, or do you like to accompany me to copy these rare books?" The queen asked, putting the pen on the inkstone and raising her eyebrows.
"To be honest, I don't like any of them!" Shen Zhiyao pursed her lips and put the ink stick back next to the inkstone.
Upon hearing this, Shijin and Huayun looked at each other in surprise. Let's see what Concubine Jin said!
"Oh? You don't like it, but you still want to follow me? You are a strange person." The queen shook her head speechlessly.
Hearing the queen's complaints, Shen Zhiyao became excited. She looked at her with sparkling eyes and said coquettishly, "It's not because I like to do those things that I want to be by your side, but because I like to be by your side, I am willing to do these hard jobs!"
"What kind of theory is this!" laughed the queen.
"Being by your side, I always feel safe and secure. For example, when we were making stirrups and saddles together, I knew you were waiting in the hall. No matter how many times I failed, I would not feel panicked!"
"Also, when I was copying the rare book with you, I always felt that time passed very quickly. I only had to copy the contents of the book once, and it was like it was printed in my mind. I remembered it very firmly! In my opinion, you are more useful than the emperor using the finest ambergris! If I were the emperor, I would definitely keep you by my side all the time!"
Shen Zhiyao talked about the queen's "effects" as if she knew them all by heart.
Shijin and Huayun looked at each other. It was the first time they heard someone praise someone like that. The person was actually praised as "ambergris". They didn't dare to believe that Shen Zhiyao was just flattering them.
They looked at Shen Zhiyao, only to see that she had a serious expression on her face. Then they looked at the Queen, who was actually amused by these remarks.
The queen's cherry lips lifted slightly, forming an elegant and beautiful arc, and even her phoenix eyes curved into a rare crescent shape.
Shijin and Huayun couldn't help but smile at each other. They hadn't seen their master smile so sincerely in a long time. Such a warm and bright smile made them feel at ease.
This Concubine Jin is quite interesting! At least now, she seems to be much more interesting than Concubine Zhuang, Shijin thought.
"I was thinking that the cakes in Renshou Palace are so delicious that Concubine Jin would never want to leave. Why would she be willing to come to Fengyi Palace?" said the Queen with a smile.
Good man, the Queen also knows how to be sarcastic. However, Shen Zhiyao was happy to be sarcastic by her. At least it proved that the Queen was not that angry.
If Gu Yunran had always been self-disciplined and gentle to her, Shen Zhiyao would have felt terrified!
"The cakes in Renshou Palace are delicious..." Shen Zhiyao said with a sly smile, "But without the refreshing and pleasant ink fragrance of Fengyi Palace, I really don't like it. I like the style of Fengyi Palace!"
The queen smiled sweetly and pointed to the bookshelf beside her and said, "Jin Jieyu is always good at talking. Every time she accompanies me in copying books, she is always lazy. You have only copied less than half of the book you are responsible for, and it is still on the shelf."
"Chronicles of the Zhao State" has a total of nine volumes. When Shen Zhiyao accompanied the Queen in copying books, the Queen was copying the second volume, and she was copying the third volume. Now the Queen has started copying the fourth volume!
The Queen's intention is very clear. She is going to order Shen Zhiyao to accompany her to copy books again!
Shen Zhizhi couldn't help but complain in her heart, but she was still very happy. The Queen's casual gesture was worth a thousand gold, proving that the Queen was not too angry with her!
"Yes! I will accompany the Queen to copy the unique copy right now!" Shen Zhiyao pretended to be very happy, turned around and smiled at Shijin, "Please help me get the books on the shelf, and arrange some writing materials for me."
Upon hearing this, the queen curled her lips but said nothing. She just moistened her pen and continued copying.
"Yes, I'll do it right away." Shijin replied with a bow.
After a while, Shijin and Huayun prepared everything. Huayun continued to serve them with pens and ink, while Shijin occasionally added some tea, fruit to them, or added some incense to the incense burner. He served them very attentively.
At the beginning, Shen Zhiyao was reluctant to copy, after all, she had been working hard for so long.
She even suspected that the queen was deliberately punishing her by making her copy books.
Come to think of it, there are indeed clues. It seems that every time she displeased the Queen, she was either arranged to serve her with writing materials or to accompany her in copying books.
Shen Zhiyao couldn't help but complain in her heart: This Gu Yunran, she looks as calm as a chrysanthemum, but in fact she has a strong desire for revenge! She is really a woman who cannot be provoked!
At this time, in the imperial study of Changdeok Palace, Bo Muxi was also reviewing memorials, and Lin En, according to the old rules, served the emperor with pen and ink, and chatted with him about palace gossip while the emperor was resting.
"Oh? Mother specially summoned the Queen and Concubine Jin to Renshou Palace today? And also rewarded Concubine Jin with a set of casual clothes?" Bo Muxi asked with raised eyebrows.
"I verified it at that time and the rumor is true." Lin En bowed.
"What kind of uniform is it? Do you know?" Bo Muxi asked coldly.
"Jin Jieyu did not wear it out, and few servants have seen it in Renshou Palace, so I was unable to find out." Seeing that the emperor was very concerned, Lin En hurriedly explained.
Bo Muxi snorted coldly, stood up and stood in front of the desk with his hands behind his back. He could probably guess it without asking.
"It is said that the Empress and Concubine Jin talked with the Queen Mother for a long time. Afterwards, the Queen Mother even kept Concubine Jin alone to talk." Lin En added at the right time.
The Queen Mother's purpose was obvious, and when he thought about the rumors that had been spreading wildly in the palace in the past few days, Bo Muxi understood.
"Where is Concubine Jin now?" Bo Muxi suddenly raised his eyes and asked.
Bo Muxi had a headache from reviewing memorials, and with this incident in mind, he began to think of asking the young concubine to accompany the emperor to the imperial study and inquire about the situation.
"In reply to the emperor, Concubine Jin has now gone to the Empress's Fengyi Palace." Lin En secretly felt lucky that he was smart enough to inquire about Shen Zhiyao's whereabouts.
"Did the Queen let her in?" Bo Muxi suddenly became interested and asked loudly.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jin not only went in, but she hasn't come out yet!" Lin En said with a smile.
After all, Lin'en was a personal servant who grew up with the emperor. Naturally, he knew what Bo Muxi liked to hear and he deliberately kept some "baggage" until now.
Bo Muxi certainly understood the queen. If she disliked someone, she would still treat him/her with courtesy, but just like herself, she would not even bother to give him/her an extra glance. So how could she allow the other person to stay in her territory for so long?
Upon hearing this, Bo Muxi was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed heartily: "Even though my mother is so powerful, she can still fail sometimes!"
There have been so many government affairs recently that Bo Muxi has been overwhelmed. After so many days, Lin En has rarely seen the emperor so happy, so he also smiled happily.
