The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 341 The Emperor's Whereabouts

At this point, even if Qin Liuse was stupid and slow to react, he could still see clearly what Concubine Xin Shu was here for today.

I'm afraid she just wanted to come to this garden and meet him by chance, so that she could tell Qin Liuse's ears about this and make her feel uncomfortable.

It’s hard to say, but this time Concubine Xin Shu really did it.

During this period, Qin Liuse's uneasiness and tension in studying with the Empress Dowager all turned into anxiety at this moment.

Therefore, she did not expect that there would be voices in the previous dynasty opposing her becoming the queen.

Logically speaking, as the daughter of Qin Boyuan, her family status was not bad. The worst thing she could say about her was that of a concubine's daughter.

But Qin Liuse thought that this should not be a reason to oppose her becoming the queen.

But in front of Concubine Xin Shufei, she would naturally not expose her shortcomings, and her experience of following the Empress Dowager during this period of time had also produced initial results.

What he meant by "influenced by what he saw and heard" was that Qin Liuse had become better at pretending than before, pretending to be noble, calm, and looking down on everyone.

She looked at Xin Shufei coldly with a light look and smiled faintly, "Shufei is right. The emperor will naturally take responsibility for this matter."

Qin Liuse took a step forward, "Those ministers who talked nonsense must naturally be dealt with by the emperor. I have to thank Concubine Shu for coming to inform me. It also makes me know that the emperor really loves me and did not tell me about this matter, which made me worry."

Concubine Xin pulled the corner of her mouth. She didn't expect Qin Liuse to be so shameless as to make such a fuss about her words.

How can it be seen that Emperor Yongjia did not tell her so as not to let her worry?

However, Qin Liuse's perspective was actually not wrong at all, because these words really pierced Concubine Xin Shu's heart.

She said with a fake smile, "Perhaps the emperor has other plans of his own. It is not easy to tell my sister for the time being."

"Since ancient times, the position of Queen has always been a major national event, which is completely different from the imperial harem and the imperial concubines. It is normal for the ministers to have some thoughts."

The rank of concubines can be conferred at will, according to the preference of Emperor Yongjia. Ultimately, it is a matter of the emperor's harem.

But the position of Queen is a state affair, and all civil and military officials can participate in the discussion.

Concubine Xin Shu looked at Qin Liuse's face and continued, "It would be best if the emperor can overcome the opposition, but if not..."

Concubine Xin Shu paused for a moment and then stopped talking.

This statement is ambiguous, and there doesn't seem to be anything to hold against it, but a smart person will know what it means as soon as he hears it.

But when making fun of Qin Liuse, she shouldn't be blindly optimistic. Did she really think that Emperor Yongjia didn't tell her because he was sad for her?

It’s hard to say, this is where Concubine Xin Shu’s cleverness lies.

When arguing with others, there is no spark on his face, but if you listen carefully, those words are enough to make people angry to death.

She is not like other concubines in the harem who lose their temper and easily come into conflict with others. She will not allow others to catch her and report her to the emperor, which would not end well for her.

Emperor Yongjia had warned her once before, so now Concubine Xin Shu said and did things after careful consideration.

The purpose of coming to see Qin Liuse today was achieved. After being sarcastic in front of her for a while, he smiled and led the maid away.

Although Concubine Xin Shu said so much and tried to deceive Qin Liuse, Qin Liuse did not doubt Emperor Yongjia's intention at all.

On the contrary, I am somewhat worried that Emperor Yongjia would be in a particularly difficult position under the pressure from his ministers.

Qin Liuse frowned all the way back to Zhaoyang Palace.

I want to find out the ins and outs of this matter. After all, we only have Concubine Xin Shufei's opinion, so it is difficult to judge the facts.

Moreover, Concubine Xin Shu was unhappy with her, so even if what she said was true, she would exaggerate it and guide Qin Liuse in the direction she wanted.

Qin Liuse didn't want to be led astray, so she wanted to ask someone else.

But the person who could answer her questions and solve her problems had disappeared.

Qin Liuse originally thought that Emperor Yongjia would come to Zhaoyang Palace at night. Even if he did not stay overnight here, he would come and sit here every day.

Zhaoyang Palace is very close to Chengqian Palace. Since moving to Zhaoyang Palace, Emperor Yongjia seemed to have regarded it as his second residence.

But by night, Emperor Yongjia did not arrive.

At night, Qin Liuse lay on the bed, looking at the gilded aromatherapy ball on the top of the bed, wondering how Emperor Yongjia would deal with this matter?

Will he defend himself against all odds, or will he waver?

Somehow, nowadays, Qin Liuse seems to trust Emperor Yongjia very much. She always feels that he will not make things difficult for her or make her sad.

Qin Liuse clamped the quilt between her legs and rolled around on the bed, so Emperor Yongjia should be able to support herself.

Moreover, with his thoughtful nature, when he named himself Imperial Noble Consort, he should have considered that there would be opposition from the previous dynasty.

Qin Liuse shook his head and thought that nothing could be so absolute.

What if Emperor Yongjia wavered?

After thinking about it, I still can't come to a conclusion.

Thinking about this matter in his mind, Qin Liuse didn't know what time it was, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.

The next morning, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, mixed with raindrops, making people's hands and feet cold.

After lunch, Qin Liuse took some mutton soup and led Zijin and Qingqing to Chengqian Palace.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Zhu Wanxi right at the gate of Chengqian Palace.

When Zhu Wanxi saw Qin Liuse, he came over with an umbrella and asked, "Why is the Imperial Concubine here?"

Zhu Wanxi glanced at the food box in Zijin's hand and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the Imperial Noble Consort has come at an untimely time. The Emperor left the palace yesterday and has not returned yet."

Qin Liuse said "Oh" in her heart. It turned out that she had left the palace. No wonder she didn't come to Zhaoyang Palace last night.

Then he asked Zhu Wanxi, "Where did the emperor go? Does Eunuch Zhu know?"

Zhu Wanxi shook his head, but he had followed Emperor Yongjia for so long that he knew something, so he told Qin Liuse, "Don't worry, Imperial Noble Consort. The Emperor likes to go on incognito visits from time to time to investigate the people's sentiments. I don't think it's a big deal, so he will definitely be back in the next two days."

If he was going to a far place or something important happened that would require him to be away for a while, Emperor Yongjia would naturally ask Zhu Wanxi to look after the palace, take good care of the servants, and notify him if anything happened.

This time, Emperor Yongjia went out without anyone noticing and said nothing, just like his usual incognito visits. He did not bring Zhu Wanxi with him, so it must not be something particularly important.

Qin Liuse felt much more at ease after hearing what Zhu Wanxi said.

But since the things had been brought here, there was no reason to take them back. So he smiled and said to Zhu Wanxi, "I originally wanted to send this mutton soup to nourish the emperor. Now it's raining and snowing, and the weather is cold, so you can take it and eat it."

Zhu Wanxi declined, but Qin Liuse didn't bother to be polite with him. "There are still a lot of them in the palace. We have already eaten them. Eunuch Zhu, please don't refuse."

After hearing what Qin Liuse said, Zhu Wanxi accepted it.

No one in the palace knew the whereabouts of Emperor Yongjia, but Zhu Wanxi was naturally different from others. When other concubines came to ask about it, he pretended not to know and would not reveal anything.

But what Qin Liuse told him this time was absolutely correct. Because Qin Liuse waited and waited, Emperor Yongjia came back two days later.
