Chapter 93, But I have resentment in my heart

You can hide from the first day of junior high school, but you can’t hide from the fifteenth day.

*
“…Living together in the harem, you should serve the emperor wholeheartedly and give priority to nurturing an heir. Do you understand?”

Today, Concubine Zhengui and Concubine Liang did not come to pay their respects.

Under Queen Ye’s sincere teachings, the beauties in the hall responded in unison.

“Yes, I will follow the Queen’s instructions.”

“Okay, that’s all for today. I’m tired, so you all should kneel down and greet me.”

After paying respects one day, Shen Qingtang was about to leave Kunning Palace when he was stopped by Aunt Ginkgo, who had a gentle look on her face.

“Please wait, my lady. The Queen invites you to come into the palace for a chat.”

thump!
Shen Qingtang sighed inwardly, as expected, no one would come to the palace for no reason. If Emperor Yuji had not gone to Fanghua Palace yesterday, she would have been summoned to Kunning Palace by Aunt Ginkgo.

Tsk~ I’m afraid he’s here with bad intentions.

Shen Qingtang’s eyes flashed slightly, and under the complicated and inexplicable gazes of the concubines, he followed Aunt Ginkgo to the inner hall.

Da da da……

As soon as Shen Qingtang followed Aunt Ginkgo into the hall, the oppressive atmosphere suddenly hit him in the face, making him tense and afraid to slack off.

“I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen.”

Just like being left alone before.

Shen Qingtang lowered her head helplessly. Although she was staring at the cushioned floor, she could still feel the scrutinizing gaze of Queen Ye like a thorn in her back, making her feel a little breathless and she clenched her palms.

Lady Shu, you are still as respectful to me as ever.

Queen Ye narrowed her eyes slightly, and she blew gently on the fragrant tea in the cup. Her calm voice fell into Shen Qingtang’s ears, but it was as heavy and shocking as thunder.

“Lady Shu, do you have any resentment in your heart?”

Shen Qingtang’s heart skipped a beat, “I am stupid, could Your Majesty please explain clearly?”

She looked up, her face showing an unpretentious look of confusion and ignorance.

What is the Queen saying?
She is a vase beauty and she doesn’t understand.

There was a moment of silence. Queen Ye looked at her overly beautiful yet stupid face and couldn’t help but frowning her long, slender eyebrows.

“A month ago, your cat was killed by me. Are you dissatisfied with me?”

this–

Shen Qingtang’s body went limp and she prostrated herself on the ground in panic.

“Please understand, Your Majesty, I have never had any complaints against you.” Shen Qingtang was so anxious that her eyes were filled with tears. “I know that your decision was made to appease Princess Zhaoning. Her Highness is so precious, and I am heartbroken.”

Queen Ye raised her eyebrows slightly, “After all, the cat is your beloved thing, are you so easily let it go?”

He was willing to vomit blood and faint over a cat. It doesn’t look like he doesn’t care.

Under Queen Ye’s scrutinizing gaze, Shen Qingtang was eager to express his true feelings, and looked at her with a silly yet flattering smile.

“It’s just a cat. Although it is my favorite pet, I would be honored if it could please Princess Zhaoning.” Bullshit!
Fortunately, Little Orange was fine, otherwise——

A trace of hostility emerged from the bottom of his heart, Shen Qingtang blinked, and Queen Ye was satisfied with the flattery on his face.

good good!
It turns out that this noble lady Shu is also a spineless person.

in this way–

Queen Ye’s eyes flickered slightly, and a hint of helplessness and motherly kindness swept away the solemnity on her face.

“In the end, it is me who is not kind to you. I am the one who is worried and confused. I am talking about this.”

After saying this, Queen Ye sighed with lingering fear under Shen Qingtang’s flattered gaze.

“Although I am the queen, I am also a mother. Zhaoning is my only child. When she was sent to Kunning Palace covered in blood and unconscious, I was really scared, fearing that she and her brother—”

When she said this, tears flashed in Empress Ye’s eyes. Zhaoning was not the only child she gave birth to.

Emperor Yu Ji has few children, but if her Hui’er had not left her, she would be the only person in the harem with both a son and a daughter.

And her Huier should also be the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace of Daqian!

Thinking of the past, Queen Ye, who was heartbroken, became sincere and affectionate under Aunt Ginkgo’s distressed gaze.

“My lady, please have a cup of tea first. Your intentions are good. Although Lady Shu has never given birth, I believe she will understand.”

Aunt Ginkgo poured a new cup of tea for Queen Ye. In the lingering aroma of the tea, Shen Qingtang nodded sincerely.

“Your Majesty, please be at ease. Princess Zhaoning is a princess of the royal family and will surely live a peaceful and happy life for the rest of her life.” It’s a pity that she is just a naughty child.

Regardless of whether it was right or wrong, she couldn’t bring herself to curse a child.

All I can say is that behind every naughty child, there is a naughty parent.

Princess Zhaoning is like this, and she can only blame Empress Ye and Emperor Yuji for not educating her well.

Although Queen Ye had no idea what Shen Qingtang was thinking, she could see that she was sincerely wishing her child well, and her brows softened.

It seems that this noble lady Shu is not so useless.

It was not until this moment that Queen Ye seemed to have just realized that Shen Qingtang was still kneeling on the ground, and she hurriedly asked Aunt Ginkgo to help her up from the ground.

“It’s late autumn now, the ground is cold, and Ginkgo, you didn’t even try to help her.”

“It is my fault, Her Majesty the Queen.” Aunt Ginkgo said as she served Shen Qingtang a cup of hot tea. “I am so sorry, Madam Shu. I apologize to you.”

“You’re too polite, Auntie. The tea is still as fragrant as ever.” Shen Qingtang drank the full cup, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.

I went to Fanghua Palace in person yesterday, and today I am left alone again.

Is it just because of past grudges?
I’m afraid——

Just as Shen Qingtang was beginning to feel uneasy, Queen Ye’s concerned voice also fell into his ears.

“I heard that you have been in close contact with Concubine Zhengui recently?”

……

In the woods, bamboo leaves rustled.

Yugui stretched her head, but she didn’t see any familiar figure appear behind the moon-shaped door.

what happened?

The distance from Kunning Palace to Minghua Palace is neither far nor near, and you can reach it even if you climb.

How come she has prepared the sandbags, but Lady Shu and her servant haven’t arrived yet?
In the past, at this time, the horse stance could last for a stick of incense.

“My lady, could it be that Lady Shu is being lazy?” Yugui chuckled as she teased Shen Qingtang. “I heard that the emperor stayed in Fanghua Palace last night. According to my guess, she must have gone back to catch up on her sleep.”

Yoo Kwai smiled brightly.

The corner of Concubine Zhengui’s mouth twitched, and she glanced at her with disgust.

“Shut up, do you think she doesn’t know the rules like you do?” Concubine Zhengui looked in the direction of Kunning Palace and sneered, “I heard yesterday that Yinxing went to Fanghua Palace. I guess my good disciple was tripped by her today.”

After saying that, Concubine Zhengui kicked Yugui.

“I told you to ‘hehehe’, why don’t you go and ask for the person who brought me here? You dare to intercept my people. If I don’t overturn Kunning Palace today, you will never come back!”

“What about you, Madam?”

“I am a noble concubine, how can I be so arrogant and unreasonable?”

Yugui looked stunned.

So she went to die?!
　Happy National Day, have a holiday, have a holiday, have a holiday~ Long live*. (ˊωˋ*)*.
