Crazy Queen, Striving to Become the Most Beautiful Lady in the Harem

Chapter 341: Greetings and Troublemaking

Dan Zhen said, "Fortunately, the Queen Mother had already anticipated that even if the Queen Mother saw Wang Chu's face, she would not easily believe his surrender, so everything had been arranged long ago. What the Queen Mother found out is what you wanted her to know."

Lin Junxue curled her lips

"The Queen Mother is very scheming, and Nanny Wu is even more so. The more Wang Chu's face resembles that man, the more wary and suspicious they will be. If they believe Wang Chu so easily, then all these years of fighting in the harem will be in vain. The Queen Mother will definitely send people to verify whether this Wang Chu is a trustworthy and useful person. In the final analysis, Wang Chu's face is just a stepping stone."

However, for someone like the Queen Mother, ordinary people don’t even have the chance to knock on the door.

If Wang Chu didn't have this face, the Queen Mother probably wouldn't even look at him.

The lethality of Bai Yueguang’s first love is, wow, really strong.

Qiao Xin said, "However, when the Queen Mother knows that Wang Chu was promoted by Gao Cheng, her suspicion will be reduced by half. Once Nanny Wu finds out, Wang Chu will be able to rise to prominence."

Qiao Xin and Gu Yu looked at Lin Junxue and admired her.

The Queen had already arranged for Wang Chu to enter the palace

As for how I gained Gao Cheng's favor, that story started more than half a year ago.

Gao Cheng is allergic to almonds, and this was accidentally revealed by the young genius

Qiao Xin just found out about it and immediately reported it to Lin Junxue.

by coincidence

The imperial kitchen staff made a mistake that day, and Gao Cheng accidentally ate a pastry with almond powder.

It just so happened that I got sick due to an allergic reaction and there was no one around me, so I almost died.

Wang Chu happened to meet Gao Cheng by chance and saved him. Gao Cheng investigated Wang Chu afterwards.

After confirming that Wang Chu was just a young eunuch who had just entered the palace, he did not have the ability to get close to him.

Because of this life-saving grace, Wang Chu went from being a new eunuch in the palace to a person that Gao Cheng valued.

Moreover, after Zhu Qing died suddenly of a serious illness, he directly replaced Zhu Qing's position and was promoted to become the new chief steward of Jingshifang.

Lin Junxue raised her eyebrows slightly

Of course, Wang Chu doesn’t have the ability to set up a trap, but she does.

Second day

Lin Junxue brought all the concubines to Ci'an Palace to pay their respects. They waited at the palace gate for a long time but were not summoned.

The weather in May was not yet completely warm, and after waiting for a while, the concubines felt cold and their faces looked a little pale.

Lin Junxue stood in front, her body straight, without moving an inch, her eyes looking straight ahead, calm and composed.

Sun Manrou said, "Empress, if we keep waiting like this, when will it end?"

Lin Junxue said calmly, "The Queen Mother returned to the palace yesterday. She was tired and slept a little longer. Just wait."

Sun Manrou looked at Lin Junxue's indifferent expression and stopped talking.

She really couldn't understand it, but all the concubines here could see it.

The Queen Mother is deliberately targeting the Queen and trying to intimidate the concubines.

The Queen is so favored now, how can she still tolerate this?

You've been standing here for almost half an hour, so you're definitely not angry?

Chen Mi stood aside, lowering his eyes. The Queen Mother did it on purpose, but the Queen could tolerate it even more.

After a while

Nanny Wu opened the curtain and came out, looking at Lin Junxue and the concubines,

"This old servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. Today, the Queen Mother woke up a little late. Her Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

Lin Junxue smiled slightly, without any dissatisfaction on her face.

"My queen mother must have been exhausted from the long journey. Besides, it is normal for her to get up late as she is old. My queen mother has not returned to the palace for more than three years. I am here with all the concubines to pay my respects to her."

Nanny Wu's smile was a little awkward, as the Queen said in public that the Queen Mother was old.

"Then please let the Queen and all the ladies in with me."

Lin Junxue led the concubines into the palace

The Queen Mother sat in the main seat, looking at Lin Junxue and the concubines, sizing them up, twisting the Buddhist beads in her hand with a serious demeanor.

Lin Junxue and the concubines bowed to greet

"Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you the best of health."

"I respectfully wish the Queen Mother good health."

The Queen Mother found Lin Junxue's dazzling face annoying.

Even back then, her looks and beauty could not compare to Lin Junxue.

When she was a child, she looked down on Lin Junxue because of her vixen-like appearance.

"Everyone, get up and sit down."

Lin Junxue and the concubines stood up and took their seats, and the palace maids served them tea.

The Queen Mother spoke

"I went to Yushan to worship Buddha for the emperor three years ago. Now I am back. There are many new faces in the harem that I have never seen before."

Lin Junxue took a sip of tea slowly.

Li Shiwen, Zhang Yuyan, and Zheng Jin stood up and walked forward to greet the guests in order of their positions.

After the three people paid their respects, the empress dowager's eyes first fell on Li Shiwen.

"Princess Lan? You are really a good woman. You gave birth to the second prince. Bring him to me tomorrow so that I can take a good look at him."

Li Shiwen leaned over

"In two days, I will bring my son Yi to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother looked at Zhang Yuyan beside her again, her eyes becoming a little colder.

"Princess Hui, you have been promoted to the position of concubine within a year of entering the palace, and you have won the emperor's heart. I think you are a good person. From now on, you must serve the emperor well and give birth to a prince for him as soon as possible. However, I heard that you have a too strong temper. From now on, you must restrain yourself. Only harmony in the harem can allow the emperor to concentrate on state affairs. Queen, don't you agree?"

Sun Manrou and other concubines looked at Zhang Yuyan with gloating eyes. Zhang Yuyan was about to speak

Li Shiwen shook his head and said, "Wait a minute."

Lin Junxue put down the teacup and looked at the Queen Mother

"Mother, Huipin is young and doted on by her parents. The Minister of Rites pays more attention to Huipin as a legitimate daughter. She has a somewhat eccentric personality, but she is innocent and lovely. Not only I like her, but the Emperor also likes her very much. Otherwise, she would not have been named Huipin by the Emperor just one year after entering the palace. I believe that as time goes by, mother will also like Huipin."

Aunt Wu frowned

The queen's temperament was indeed very different from before, and she resolved the empress dowager's difficulties so easily.

If it were in the past, the Queen would only be scolded. How could she refute the Queen Mother's words so dignifiedly and leave her speechless?

If you find fault again, the Queen Mother will care about it.

When the emperor heard this, he found out that the empress dowager was deliberately making things difficult for the newly-enthroned concubine, causing him to lose face.

The Queen Mother smiled with a fake smile and looked at Lin Junxue

"Since the Queen has said so, I will just wait and see."

Then, the Queen Mother looked at Zheng Jin again.

Zheng Jin was so happy that he was about to take a step forward, waiting for the Queen Mother to ask questions.

The Queen Mother just glanced over but didn't ask anything.

Zheng Jin's face instantly turned awkward and he lowered his head.

At this moment, she felt that everyone was looking at her with mockery and ridicule, and her face turned pale.

At this moment

Lin Junxue said calmly, "Mother, this is Jin Ronghua, who was also selected in the talent show last year and is also deeply loved by the emperor."

Zheng Jin was stunned. She didn't expect that at this time, it was the Queen who saved her face.

How can it be?

Little did he know that Lin Junxue's words were the beginning of Zheng Jin's jump into the abyss.

There was a flash of doubt in the Queen Mother's eyes. Was the Queen speaking for Zheng Jin?
