Chapter 1122 Book Spirit (5)
In a long corridor of the harem, at the far end, there was a very tall, slender, and handsome figure walking slowly towards them.
Two palace maids were preparing to go to the Imperial Concubine's Palace, trotting busily. Suddenly, they saw someone walking in the distance and immediately slowed down their pace.
"Oh! You're going to die, why did you suddenly slow down?"
The one who spoke was Cao'er, the maidservant walking behind. Hua'er, who was walking in front, was different from usual. He did not answer Cao'er's question. Instead, he became gentle and said, "Shh... The person walking in front seems to be the emperor. We must not offend him so early in the morning!" Cao'er: "Ah? Where? It really is. Isn't the road ahead the road to the cold palace?"
Hua'er: "Yes! It's very strange, how could it be..."
During the conversation, the emperor had already come in front of the two palace maids. His face was filled with a happy smile, and even more so, he looked very pleased. Seeing the emperor in such a good mood, Cao'erhua'er felt less nervous. When the emperor's footsteps approached, the two palace maids knelt down and greeted him, saying, "Your Highness, long live the emperor!"
Emperor Li Ye: "Well, reward, twenty taels of silver per person!"
This emperor, it’s okay, he rewarded the palace maids who had no merit, just because he was in a good mood today. Little did he know that he was a bit of a spendthrift.
The two maids were so happy that when the emperor left, they immediately stood up and happily came to the imperial concubine's palace. They started their day's work very hard, serving their imperial concubine to wash and dress. The two maids were always very dedicated, but today, they were particularly energetic and full of strength.
So, the Imperial Concubine also noticed it and asked, "What happened to you two today? Did you get your monthly salary?"
Cao'er: "About the same!"
When the imperial concubine heard this, she thought, this is not right! Isn't it the month when the salary is paid by herself?
So, the imperial concubine, who was full of doubts, carefully inquired about the whole story and said, "Tell me! What is there to be happy about that can make you so happy?"
Hua'er: "My lady, this morning, His Majesty rewarded us with twenty taels of silver each."
When the imperial concubine heard this, she was even more confused. How could this be possible? When would two palace maids be able to meet the emperor? So, she became jealous and slammed the table, asking, "What on earth did you do? What did you do in His Majesty's palace?"
Cao'er Hua'er was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I met the Emperor in the corridor, and he came out of the cold palace. His Majesty was in a good mood, so he rewarded me!"
This was even more shocking news. The Imperial Concubine became even more anxious. She asked with her legs unsteady, "How is it possible? How could His Majesty go to the cold palace to see an abandoned queen, and even stay overnight?"
The two maids answered timidly, saying that they were not too sure about such matters.
"Your servant, I don't know either, Madam!"
The Imperial Noble Consort only realized at this moment that since the weak and vulnerable Queen who lived in the cold palace slapped her, her career and fortune began to flourish. This was such an unacceptable thing.
Especially, when everyone thought that she was about to fall, the news of her return to favor came out, so the imperial concubine began to panic and had no idea what was going on. By then, the imperial concubine had finished washing up, and now was the time when all the palaces would come to pay their respects to her in the morning. Therefore, the imperial concubine could not bear the news of her return to favor alone, and had to find a few scapegoats. The most important thing was to find a few concubines to use as knives to deal with the queen.
Therefore, the Queen's restoration of favor means that the goals and actions of the palace fighting will become more intense and fierce.
