Chapter 270: So Beautiful
Chapter 270: So Beautiful
Thinking back to when she was still Zhaoyi, she was so glorious, with all these people bowing and nodding to her. Now she has fallen out of favor and has become like this.
In fact, Wen Cairen didn’t even think about it. If it was someone else, the eunuch would still stop him.
There are different types of masters. Isn’t Emperor Yongjia the biggest master?
Wen Cairen was still thinking about how to deal with these people when Qin Liuse came out for a walk and walked over here.
But the difference is that when the eunuchs saw Qin Liuse coming, they immediately made way and said to her with a smile, "Qin Zhaoyi is here. Come over quickly, the emperor is listening to the music there."
Qin Liuse raised his head and glanced towards the pavilion over there, and saw Emperor Yongjia sitting there. However, because he was facing sideways and was far away, he couldn't see his expression clearly.
Qin Huaijin was sitting opposite, holding a pipa and playing the instrument.
Qin Liuse smiled and shook his head and said, "Since the emperor is busy, I won't bother you."
Qin Liuse obviously didn't want to go over there.
Under this comparison, one can only say that Wen Cairen, who was standing nearby waiting, looked extremely excited.
She wanted to go over, but the eunuchs wouldn't let her go. Qin Liuse had just walked over and hadn't even said she wanted to go in, but these people wanted to kneel down and use her as a stool for Qin Liuse to step over.
At this moment, the look on Wen Cairen's face was so ugly that it was as if he was about to explode at any moment.
She looked at the eunuchs and asked, "You only stop me, why don't you stop Qin Zhaoyi?"
Several eunuchs looked at Wen Cairen with disdain and said, "Qin Zhaoyi is Qin Zhaoyi, Wen Cairen is Wen Cairen. On weekdays in the imperial study, the emperor has already ordered that as long as Qin Zhaoyi comes, she will be allowed in without notifying her."
As he said this, he smiled and asked Wen Cairen, "Did Wen Cairen have the emperor's order?"
Although this is the truth, it sounds extremely unpleasant to others.
She spoke as if what she, a talented person like Wen, did was worthless.
Wen Cairen was choked for a moment, then laughed in anger, "What the eunuch said is true. I am not the queen's master, so how can I have the emperor's oral order?"
Wen Cairen was just mocking Qin Liuse.
According to the palace rules, the only one who could go into the emperor's study without permission was the queen.
Now that she is the Zhaoyi, she has received such leniency. In Wen Cairen's eyes, she is obviously unworthy of the position.
In fact, it was the first time that Qin Liuse heard Emperor Yongjia give such an oral order to his eunuchs.
Now, after hearing this, she finally understood why Zhu Wanxi never informed her every time she went to the imperial study, but directly said to her with a smile, "Come in." It turned out that it was because of the order of Emperor Yongjia.
Wen Cairen was mocking Qin Liuse in every way he said, but Qin Liuse didn't take it to heart at all.
It's ironic, but it was Emperor Yongjia who issued the decree, not her, so how can she be blamed?
Qin Liuse smiled and changed the subject, "Mr. Wen, please don't stand here any longer. If the emperor notices this and asks us why we quarreled here, it will be embarrassing if the news gets out."
These words really persuaded Wen Cairen. The reason they could talk like this here was because they were still a long distance away from the pavilion over there.
She was so presumptuous because Emperor Yongjia couldn't hear her.
When he heard Qin Liuse say this, he glared at her, turned around and left.
Wen Cairen walked forward. Her personal maid saw her angry face and began to speak up for her. "These eunuchs are just right. They are just men without any roots. How dare they treat our Wen Cairen like this?"
Although Wen Cairen had not been polite to them just now, she said to her maid at this moment, "Why don't they dare? The people who serve the emperor all say that even if you beat a dog, you have to consider the owner's face. These people are the most noble dogs in this imperial city."
The maid sighed and felt that life was really different from the past. She couldn't help but complain.
"Forget about Qin Zhaoyi, she is extremely beautiful. I don't know what tricks Qin Meiren used to win over the emperor."
Wen Cairen also had this question in his mind.
It's not that I'm arrogant and overconfident, but objectively speaking, Qin Huaijin's appearance is indeed not as good as mine, so when he sees someone who is not as good as him being favored, he naturally feels dissatisfied.
Both of them are daughters of ministers, but now one of them is in heaven and the other is in hell.
"I don't know what the emperor sees in her!" Wen Cairen took a stone in his hand and threw it into the lake.
"Why is Wen Cairen sulking here alone?"
Qin Liuse's voice came from behind him. Wen Caineng turned his head, but when he saw it was her, he turned back with disdain, looking at the pool of water, wondering why he met this bitch here again?
Qin Liuse deliberately walked around the garden and came here pretending to meet her by chance.
Wen Cairen snorted, unable to bear Qin Liuse's false compassionate attitude.
Qin Liuse sighed, "They are both favored by the Eastern Queen Mother. Concubine Li has a princess, and now my elder sister, if she works harder, she can also get pregnant with a child, and then she can play with the baby in my belly."
Wen Cairen looked at the lake, gritted his teeth and did not respond.
What she feared most was that Qin Huaijin would become pregnant with a dragon baby at this juncture, and the mother would be honored by having a son. If that happened, she would never be able to catch up no matter how hard she tried.
Wen Cairen had always been thinking that it would be great if she could get pregnant. If she had a child, there would be hope that she would be favored again.
"Qin Zhaoyi, you'd better take good care of yourself. Don't let your sister get jealous of you, that would be dangerous." Wen Cairen said sarcastically.
Qin Liuse looked puzzled and pretended not to understand. "What does Wen Cairen mean by this? My sister naturally treats me well. It's fine if Wen Cairen doesn't want to, but there's no need to sow discord between us sisters. Why does she say that she will do something bad to me?"
"Sisters, sisters, there are not so many real sisters in this world." Wen Cairen curled her lips, thinking of the things Qin Huaijin said in Empress Dowager Dong's Cining Palace when Qin Liuse was not around. Every word was a stab in Qin Liuse's back.
Only Qin Liuse is stupid, but he is lucky enough to be still safe and sound after such a long time.
"Mr. Wen, do you have something to say that I don't know?" Qin Liuse asked tentatively.
Wen Cairen curled her lips. Naturally, there were many things she wouldn't say.
She and Qin Huaijin were involved in many of the things that happened in the palace before.
Although they don't all prosper together, they will definitely suffer together, so she won't create hidden dangers for herself.
After all, relatively speaking, Qin Liuse is the outsider they want to deal with.
Even if Wen Cairen didn't say these things, Qin Liuse knew them in his heart.
She knew that Concubine Li, Concubine Wen, and Qin Huaijin were all in the same group and were all from the Empress Dowager Dong's palace.
But so what? These three people are not the iron triangle. The so-called "not in harmony with each other" really applies to them.
That's why Qin Liuse wanted to sow discord among them and make them fight among themselves.
With this in mind, Qin Liuse smiled and said, "Perhaps Wen Cairen doesn't know what kind of person the emperor likes, so I will tell my sister that the emperor likes kind-hearted people. Lady Liu is kind-hearted and weak, and she just won the emperor's heart. Isn't my sister the same?"
Qin Liuse lied with his eyes open.
When Qin Liuse mentioned Qin Huaijin, Wen Cairen pursed her lips in disapproval, but for a moment, the way they got along with Emperor Yongjia emerged in her mind again, and it was indeed true.
Seeing her expression, Qin Liuse said, "Now that I'm pregnant, I certainly hope that the Emperor will treat me equally, so I'll remind you, sister. If you can please him like those two did, maybe the Emperor will turn over the card of Wen Cairen more often."
Wen Cairen had no expression, and Qin Liuse didn't care. She came to see her recently just to plant some seeds of doubt in her heart, and didn't want Wen Cairen to give her any explanation.
"Speaking of kindness, my sister is really kind to me. If it weren't for the clues my sister gave me when I fell off the bridge earlier, I wouldn't have known so many things."
As Qin Liuse said this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Wen Cairen. Sure enough, he saw a cracked expression on Wen Cairen's face.
The Emperor hasn't dealt with that matter yet, and Wen Cairen still thought he had done it smoothly.
I was nervous for a moment, not knowing whether Qin Liuse was trying to provoke me or if he really knew it, so I didn't respond.
Qin Liuse didn't care and continued to talk to herself, "That time, Wen Cairen was anxious and kept Qingqing, but it can be regarded as a punishment from the emperor. But if it weren't for my sister's reminder, I wouldn't know that there were so many things behind it."
Qin Liuse's words were half-said and half-left, making it confusing, so Wen Cairen could only guess.
However, in Wen Cairen's opinion, although the two of them were at odds because of competing for favor, they were sisters after all, so if Qin Huaijin really leaked the secret, it was not impossible.
Moreover, Qin Huaijin did more than one bad thing during those days.
They were involved in the affairs of Concubine Zhang, Concubine Zhou, and many other things in the harem, but who knew that in the end the other two would be able to extricate themselves, leaving them with nothing.
……
The conversation with Qin Liuse in Four Seasons Garden in the afternoon left a deep impression on Wen Cairen's heart, and she kept thinking about it over and over again until she returned to her palace in the evening.
The more I think about it, the angrier I feel. Why do they always get benefits, one with a princess and the other with rain and dew, even though they did the same bad things?
But my position has been declining again and again, and now I can only not even have a main position in this palace?
