Chapter 351 Chapter 352: Self-inflicted humiliation
Qin Xiyue has become a lot thinner recently, with a slender waist that can't be grasped. Standing in the palace, she looks like she would collapse in the wind, her complexion is pale, and her eyes are blue. Open your mouth, she looks like she will never open her mouth.
The Empress Dowager was also very displeased to see Qin Xiyue like this. She thought that when she first returned to the palace, she got together by herself, and now look at how she is now.
Then Taifu Qin is also a useless paper tiger. She thought she was very capable, but she didn't know how long she would retire and return home.
"The Ai family called you because there is something to order."
Hearing the Empress Dowager speak, Qin Xiyue's complexion turned pale again, and she said, "I don't know what the Empress Dowager has ordered, but I'm afraid that concubines can't share their worries with their soft words."
The Empress Dowager's face was blackened by Qin Xiyue's words, and she said: "Concubine Ming has opened a shop, and Aijia is worried that she will not know how deep she is at a young age. You have a stable and generous temper, so go and help me."
Qin Xiyue: …
She is at odds with Song Yunzhao, doesn't the Queen Mother know?
Let her approach at this time, can Song Yunzhao treat her well?
Besides, it was too late for Song Yunzhao to guard against himself, and she would only humiliate herself if she went.
The queen mother let her go, she didn't care about her face at all, she just wanted to make her lose face and let Song Yunzhao humiliate her.
Qin Xiyue's life was already difficult. Ever since Song Yunzhao gave birth to the first prince, other people in the palace had a very subtle attitude towards her. They used to get together to play cards and drink tea to pass the time, but now everyone avoids her , There are only one or two people who still have contact with her.
Song Yunzhao is at the height of his power in this palace, who among these people would dare to offend her, knowing that she and Song Yunzhao are at odds, treat her as a scourge and avoid her, so they should show their favor to Song Yunzhao.
Winner and loser, Qin Xiyue recognizes.
But she won't admit it for the rest of her life. She wants to make a comeback, but she doesn't want to be a stepping stone for the Queen Mother now.
Qin Xiyue lowered her head and did not look at the Empress Dowager, and said slowly: "Empress Dowager, the concubine wants to help her, but the concubine has offended the concubine Ming, and now she is here, Concubine Ming How can you accept concubines? Concubines are not afraid of losing face, but if they go there rashly, they are afraid that Concubine Ming will misunderstand whether concubines are being ordered by others, and then what should I do if I implicate the empress dowager?"
Hearing Qin Xiyue's rhetoric, the queen mother remained unmoved, and said coldly: "The Ai family only asked you to persuade Concubine Ming, and didn't ask you to do anything else. Why, Qin Wanyi can't do these things well?"
"If it's someone else, the concubine would naturally be willing to share the worries, but..." Qin Xiyue sighed quietly, "The empress dowager doesn't know something. Concubine Ming hates concubines very much. If I go to persuade them, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive. If the empress dowager still gives concubines The concubine is willing to take this important task, but I am afraid that this trip will not meet the expectations of the empress dowager, and let the empress dowager down, the concubine is really to die for."
No matter what Qin Xiyue said, she just couldn't get things done anyway, and Song Yunzhao might see through that she was being ordered by others, and then she would definitely pull the Queen Mother into the water.
If the queen mother doesn't mind, she is also willing to take a trip.
Of course the Empress Dowager minded, she made Qin Xiyue a **** because she didn't want to lose face.
"Useless waste, don't back down!" The queen mother was angry, she understood the meaning of Qin Xiyue's words, she really didn't expect Qin Xiyue to dare not listen to her own words now.
Qin Xiyue couldn't get what she wanted, even if she was scolded by the Queen Mother, she still bowed down and followed, saluted and retreated.
After leaving the Shouci Palace, Huaying's tears fell, and she followed her master with her head down. When will such a day be the end.
"Why are you crying?" Qin Xiyue said softly.
Hua Ying hurriedly wiped away her tears, "The slave girl didn't cry, she was blinded by the sand."
Qin Xiyue walked forward with a sullen face, staring into the distance and slowly said: "I didn't cry, so don't cry either. It's nothing to be scolded by the queen mother, it's better than going to Yaohua Palace to be humiliated."
Jacaranda could not continue.
Qin Xiyue thought that she might not have really offended Song Yunzhao when she helped An Shutong back then. She and Song Yunzhao were like two parallel lines that would never blend.
The things they want are the same, there will inevitably be disputes.
So, it's not surprising that things are incompatible now, but it's a pity that Song Yunzhao is soaring, but she is standing still, and her natal family has plummeted and there is no help. It is not easy for her to turn around.
Qin Xiyue was very smart when she was young. She has a calm temper, has a sense of proportion, knows what she wants, and will fight for it with all her strength.
However, she clearly cannot compete with Song Yunzhao this time.
Later, she thought carefully about what she did wrong, which caused the emperor to hate her so much. She didn't understand until her father retired and returned home.
The emperor doesn't necessarily hate her, but he certainly doesn't like what his father does.
The emperor just vented his anger on her.
As long as she keeps herself safe in the past few years, she may have a comeback. After all, her father has fallen and she has no one to protect her. She, a weak woman, who is in such a situation, may arouse the emperor's compassion.
But definitely not right now, she has to wait for the opportunity.
So, what the queen mother asked her to do, she couldn't do it.
Once it is done, if it falls into the eyes of the emperor, there is no need to think about pity.
Now she even regrets it a bit. At the beginning, she joined forces with the Queen Mother because she was eager for quick success, so that she was disgusted and angered by the emperor.
In a pit, how could she fall twice.
Even if the queen mother is unhappy, she can't wade into the muddy water.
She even thought that it would be best for the queen mother to punish her, severely punish her, and let her suffer. When the emperor hears it, maybe the emperor's dislike for the queen mother, the biological mother, will turn into pity for herself.
Unfortunately, the queen mother did not do this.
Qin Xiyue sneered in her heart, the queen mother was really forbearing for An Shutong, in order to pave the way for An Shutong, even if she rejected the queen mother today, the queen mother did not punish her.
What a pity.
I wanted to borrow some strength, but the Queen Mother didn't agree.
Hua Ying saw the master's complexion fluctuating, thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Master, Concubine Ming is doing a treasure house, are you really involved?"
"Why would Concubine Ming let me participate?" Qin Xiyue said, "Besides, Concubine Ming dares to show off like this, she must have obtained the emperor's permission."
In this case, of course she can't do anything, and even if she does, it's not now.
She has always been a patient person, she can afford to wait.
Moreover, this time Song Yunzhao, in order to get angry with the queen mother, knew that all the girls left behind in the **** palace were extremely beautiful girls. She didn't believe that these beauties would not take away the emperor's thoughts when they entered the palace.
Wait and see.
