Chapter 611 World 6: The Weak and Helpless Crown Princess (51)
"Forget it, I'll just wait and see what they are up to. Mammy, help me dress up.
Also, let them in. They are in such a hurry, maybe they really have something to report."
The queen rubbed her brows, and her always tense nerves finally relaxed a lot.
She just woke up and her head still hurts. She doesn't know when this headache will be completely cured. She is almost going crazy.
What the queen didn’t know was that what she was about to hear would only give her more headaches!
"Mammy, something important happened while I was asleep."
The queen sat in front of the dressing mirror, looking at the majestic self in the mirror, who seemed to be ten years older and no longer saw her previous years.
She gently stroked her cheek with her fingers, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she asked out loud.
Nanny Jiang paused while she was dressing the queen, not daring to hide anything.
"In reply to your Majesty, Shen Shishi did have a young eunuch come to report, but since I saw that you were resting, I asked him to go down first and wait for you to wake up before reporting."
"Mammy, why don't you wake me up?"
The queen paused with her hand caressing her face, her heart skipped a beat, and she inexplicably had a bad premonition.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. It was my own decision. I wanted you to rest for a while because I was afraid that your body couldn't take it. It was my fault."
Nanny Jiang put down the jade comb in her hand and immediately knelt down to apologize.
At this moment, she also realized that it might be because of her own self-willed behavior that the Queen missed an important piece of information!
"My lady, I will call that young eunuch over right now."
"No need, Mammy, hurry up and help me dress up. The people outside will tell me. Aren't they here just for this?"
The Queen could only suppress her uneasiness and wait for Nanny Jiang to dress her.
Nanny Jiang also looked nervous and almost dropped the comb. Fortunately, with decades of experience, nothing serious went wrong.
After the palace maids helped the queen put on her phoenix robe and put on her heavy makeup——
The queen finally appeared and came to the side hall of Fengyi Palace, where she met with concubines.
……
In the side hall.
The tranquility of the past was no longer there, and the sound of concubines' chattering and discussions could be heard everywhere.
No matter whether they were on good terms with each other or the concubines who were secretly competing with each other, they were all discussing one thing at this moment and were working together with extraordinary unity.
The princess was thin and weak, like a fragile willow in the wind. She was clutching her handkerchief tightly and spoke in panic.
"What should we do? The emperor has always been wise, but he has acted like this this time. We sisters must try to dissuade him."
There was a bit of heroism between Mipin's eyebrows, but she was also a little irritated, and she almost wanted to make even her hair stand on end.
"Yes, but we sisters can't even see the emperor, so we can only ask to see the queen."
Huipin has always been gentle and it is rare for her to show any other expression, but at this moment she seemed a little distressed.
"It's just that it's very difficult for the Emperor to change his mind. How can you and I persuade him to do that?"
Concubine Yu remained silent. Her aqua blue palace dress made her look even calmer, but the expression on her face was not very pretty.
Besides her, there was another person present who had a terribly gloomy face, but he did not make a sound. He was like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, looking for the best time to attack.
This person looked at everyone present with indiscriminate hostility in his eyes.
That’s right, this person is the Liangpin who was previously deposed by the emperor, and is now an unknown Concubine Liu.
Since she was deposed, she has experienced all the ups and downs of life. Because she has displeased the Emperor and the Empress, even the servants dare to treat her harshly.
If you ask Liu Changzai who she hates the most, it would of course be the Crown Princess, followed by the Empress.
As for the emperor who actually banished her, she dared not blame or hate him.
Now the Emperor has actually brought the Crown Princess into the Yangxin Palace to take care of her. In addition to jealousy, she actually feels a twisted sense of pleasure in her heart.
I really want to see the expression on the queen’s face. Isn’t it beautiful?
Just when Concubine Liu was immersed in her own hatred, the loudmouthed Concubine Xi next to her started nagging again.
It's really noisy.
There was a hint of viciousness in Liu Chang's eyes, but she only dared to lower her head and think about it in her heart, not daring to show it.
Xibin's mouth is faster than her brain, she is not someone who can keep secrets.
"If I were to say, the Emperor dotes on the Crown Prince too much. He even moved the Crown Princess to the Yangxin Palace to take care of her. It's really..."
"Princess Xi, be careful with your words. Publicly criticizing the emperor is a serious crime."
"The Queen has arrived——"
Along with the announcement came the Queen's majestic and slightly warning words.
She was dressed in a bright yellow phoenix robe with a long train, looking very imposing. She came quickly in front of the concubines, having lost her usual demeanor.
"Your Majesty, may your Majesty live forever."
"Slave, please see the Queen."
Everyone knelt down in an orderly manner, without a trace of disrespect on their faces.
Of course, the only exception was Liu Changzai, who was at the very end of the line. She had a sneer on her lips and a strange excitement flashing in her eyes.
"Please take a seat."
The Queen did not see the expression on Liu Changzai's face. It was no wonder. She was at the very end of the line, and no one would have seen it unless they paid special attention.
Moreover, she was angry at the moment because of what Huibin had said before, so she would not care about a small person.
After everyone was seated, she spoke first without waiting for anyone else to speak, her voice inevitably tinged with resentment.
"Today is not a day for paying respects, so why are all the sisters here at my Fengyi Palace? And what Xipin said is really shocking."
Everyone understood what the Queen meant, which was that they were disturbing them.
There was no way Concubine Xi was willing to plead guilty. Seeing the Queen's calm expression, she became a little unsure.
Could it be that the Queen doesn't know about this yet?
Or does the Queen know but not intend to do anything?
This won't do. Concubine Xi doesn't want to be blamed in the end. If she is demoted, she will be displeased by the emperor and empress...
Look at what happened to Concubine Liu, how miserable her life was. She didn’t want to fall to that level.
Thinking of this, Huibin began to defend herself.
I have to say that she is quite eloquent. In just four or five sentences, she explained the whole story clearly.
"Your Highness, how dare I criticize the Emperor? Everything I say is true.
The Emperor moved the Crown Prince and his family to the Yangxin Palace for care. What an honor! The Crown Prince had never been treated like this before.
There is also the Crown Princess. She said that because of the move to the palace, she had a miscarriage, so the Emperor specially allowed her to rest in the Yangxin Palace and exempted her from paying respects to anyone, even the Empress. I’m afraid…”
"Boom——" the queen felt as if she heard something incredible and her brain exploded!
I feel dizzy and the head is spinning.
