Chapter 257: Extremely Vicious, Not Suitable
Sure enough, Yixiu was not suitable to be the queen.
Not only does she lack the political acumen of a country's mother, but her vision is also extremely narrow. She is simply incapable of becoming a good wife and providing her with corresponding help and support.
If it weren't for Chunyuan and the Queen Mother, Yixiu would never have been able to ascend to the throne of Queen.
Not only was she not kind and compassionate to her concubines, she was also vicious and extremely cruel. She even wanted to attack the child in Xier's belly.
How can such a person assume the responsibility of being the mother of a country?
The queen did not notice the impatience in the emperor's eyes at all, but instead persisted in talking about this topic.
"If this money was not given by the Emperor to Nian Gengyao, then Concubine Hua spent so much money in one month. Has the Emperor ever thought about where this money came from?"
"Queen, I've told you not to worry too much about these things. I know what's going on."
The impatience in the emperor's eyes was about to overflow. He didn't know whether his queen really didn't understand his eyes or was pretending not to understand.
"Your Majesty, Suiyuxuan has sent a set of pajamas. Please take a look."
Just at this moment, Xiao Xiazi walked in with a box of pajamas, breaking the awkward atmosphere.
"The noble lady of Suiyuxuan is quite thoughtful. Your Majesty, why don't you take a look at the noble lady's craftsmanship?"
The queen said to the emperor with a smile.
It can be considered as finding a suitable step down for myself.
The emperor did not look at the queen again. After all, his tolerance for stupid people was not very high.
However, considering that she was the queen, he did not completely reject her face, but responded in a nonchalant manner as he walked down the stairs.
After all, he didn't care much about pajamas, and he didn't like them very much even though he knew they were sent by Sui Yuxuan.
He now has the pajamas that Chunyuan once made for him, as well as the pajamas that Xier specially gave him. These two sets of pajamas are enough for him, and he doesn't need more.
"Bring it here."
Xiao Xiazi respectfully presented the box to the emperor.
"The embroidery on this nightgown is enough to show the care of Concubine Wan. Such delicate stitches must have taken Concubine Wan a lot of thought, which shows Concubine Wan's deep love for the emperor."
Although the Queen didn't like Zhen Huan's face that was similar to Chun Yuan, she was now eager to bring down Concubine Hua, so she was naturally willing to say a few good words for Zhen Huan, Hua Concubine's enemy.
"Well, that's not bad."
The emperor picked up the nightgown, took a look at it, and then put it aside.
The Queen watched the Emperor's actions with her eyes flashing. It seemed that the Emperor treated Zhen Huan just like this.
This makes sense. After all, everything Zhen Huan has now is only obtained by being a substitute for her sister.
No matter how good this substitute is, it cannot compare to the status of the real person in the emperor's heart, and the same goes for this pajamas.
The emperor still keeps the pajamas that his sister once gave him. I think this pajamas is naturally not as good as the one his sister left behind.
That night was the full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar month. Even though the emperor was a little annoyed with the queen, he still came to Jingren Palace.
"Your Majesty, I have never seen the nightgown you are wearing today. Could it be the one that Concubine Wan sent me today?"
"But this pattern doesn't look like it."
The queen looked through the bronze mirror on her dressing table and saw the emperor, who had changed into his pajamas, walking in from outside. She asked with some curiosity.
She thought the emperor would wear the pajamas that Zhen Huan gave him today, but she didn't expect that he didn't.
But this is not the old pajamas left by my sister. Could it be the pajamas given to the emperor by other concubines?
"This nightgown was specially made for me by Concubine Xuan. I think it looks good when I wear it."
The emperor was lying on the bed, flipping through the book in his hand, and answered casually.
"Concubine Xuan also made a nightgown for the emperor?"
The Queen didn't expect that the dress was made by Concubine Xuan. This was a little beyond her expectations.
But it was not too surprising. After all, the emperor really doted on Concubine Xuan, so it was not surprising that he was willing to wear the pajamas made by her.
"It seems that Concubine Xuan and Concubine Wan are in sync. They both made a nightgown for the emperor."
The queen smiled and looked at the emperor and said.
"I saw that this nightgown is somewhat similar to the one that my sister left behind. I mistook it for the one my sister made."
The Queen pretended to be reminiscing and spoke tentatively in a natural manner.
"is it?"
"The nightgown made by Chun Yuan is not even remotely similar to this one, yet the Queen could make a mistake. It seems that the Queen is indeed getting old, and her memory is beginning to decline."
The emperor felt a little guilty after hearing what the queen said. It seemed that he had not worn the old pajamas that Chunyuan left for him for a long time.
He raised his eyes and stared at the queen coldly, without any intention of showing any mercy to her, and spoke to her in a mocking tone.
"Yes, I did remember it wrong."
The queen didn't expect the emperor to react so strongly after she mentioned her sister. She spoke with some embarrassment.
The queen thought sadly that she was indeed no longer young and could not compare to the freshness and youthfulness of these young concubines who had just entered the palace.
"It's getting late, go to bed, Queen."
The emperor put down the book in his hand and closed his eyes without caring how embarrassed the queen was by his words.
The queen silently looked at the emperor's still handsome face with his eyes closed. Compared with his high spirits in his youth, the emperor now has a bit more maturity and restraint, which makes people more moved.
But she no longer has the youth and beauty she once had. Her heart and appearance have been ruined by the life in the deep palace.
Her beauty, favor and children disappeared from her life with the passage of time. Now all she has left is her position as queen, so she must keep her position as queen.
No matter whether it is Concubine Hua or Concubine Xuan, they cannot compete with her. Whoever dares to stretch out his hand, she will chop off his hand.
The queen looked at herself in the mirror and swore secretly in her heart.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, Concubine Hua specially invited all the concubines in the harem to go to Qingyin Pavilion to listen to opera. Fu Cha Zhixi was really reluctant to go out because of the freezing cold weather, but she couldn't resist the urge to watch the opera, so she dressed neatly and accepted the invitation.
After all, the people taking the stage today are the Queen and Concubine Hua. It would be a pity to miss such a good show.
You should know that the conflict between the Queen and Concubine Hua is much deeper now than in the original plot.
"Okay, Xiao Fuzhen, your mother has to go to the opera. You must be obedient in the palace. Your mother will be back soon."
Before Fu Cha Zhixi went out, he did not forget to hug the little Fu Zhen, who was a little heavy in his hand, and kissed him several times.
