Chapter 157 Is it worth it?
"Angry with me?" Bo Muxi thought for a moment and laughed, "With her temper, it's good enough that she doesn't make me angry. How can I make her angry?"
Lin En smiled but said nothing. The emperor obviously knew that women are all jealous.
Bo Muxi buried his head in reviewing memorials again, and the words just now seemed to have been passed over lightly.
Lin En thought: The emperor is really heartless, he really deserves the name “Bo”!
He was just thinking about it when he saw the emperor suddenly raise his head and pretend to be surprised: "She is jealous because of Hu Baolin?"
Lin En thought for a moment and helped the emperor analyze the situation: "Your Majesty, even I can see that you are slightly partial to Hu Baolin. How can Concubine Jin not see that?"
Bo Muxi suddenly remembered that night when he dismissed Hu Baolin and rushed to Cuiweixuan, but was despised by Shen Zhiyao again, so he grinned.
"Haha, I see she's usually very open-minded, but it turns out she can remember jealousy for so long?" Bo Muxi laughed happily: "This is really rare!"
"Your Majesty, are you still in charge of this matter?" Lin En asked cautiously. He also wanted to further explore how deep the emperor's feelings for Shen Zhiyao were.
"Lin'en, do you dare to make a bet with me?" Bo Muxi was still smiling.
"If Your Majesty is in this mood, I will naturally accompany you." Lin En also smiled.
"I can imagine that if I go to Cuiweixuan now, I won't even be able to enter the door. Do you believe it?" Bo Muxi was very sure.
Lin En actually thought so too, but in order to cooperate with Bo Muxi, he had to pretend to smile and said, "I think Concubine Jin is just a little stingy, but she won't dare to refuse the emperor again."
"She has openly done this to such an extent, isn't she just telling me that she is still jealous? You really think too highly of her!" Bo Muxi stopped laughing and said with some emotion.
Lin En looked at Bo Muxi's expression and felt that he was not angry at all, so he became very confused.
Why is the emperor so strange? The queen is jealous and angry, but he looks quite happy. It's really hard to understand!
"I feel that if Her Majesty does nothing about it, she will be very pitiful." Lin En said in a low voice.
"Hmm..." Bo Muxi thought for a long time and said with a smile: "I will wait for a while before going. Zhaoguo sent some wild ginseng a few days ago. Please send one to Cuiweixuan on my behalf so that she can take good care of herself."
"Yes, I'll go right away." Lin En agreed and went to search the warehouse.
He could see that these two people were in a cold war, and they had to torment him, the servant who was caught in the middle. It was really speechless...
As expected, the door of Cuiweixuan was closed. Although he was very polite to Lin En and gave him reward money, he didn't even see a corner of Shen Zhiyao's clothes.
As Lin En walked towards Changdexuan, he sighed, "The Emperor really understands Concubine Jin! If he had come in person, he would have been turned away again!"
At this time, in Cuiweixuan, Shen Zhiyao was looking at the priceless wild ginseng, speechless.
"Master, the emperor has already gone to such lengths, should we also take a step back? I am also afraid that if someone makes a big fuss about your incident, it will be detrimental to you!"
Qiuyue was very worried. She thought that women should obey men. Since the emperor had given Shen Zhiyao a way out, why didn't she take it?
Shen Zhiyao thought for a long time, then suddenly asked with a smile: "Qiuyue, in your opinion, how does the emperor treat me?"
Qiuyue thought about it seriously for a long time, and answered seriously: "In my humble opinion, the emperor not only dotes on the master, but also is very tolerant. This is very rare in this palace!"
The implication was that Shen Zhiyao should be content.
"You can say that, but you are not sure how long this love and tolerance can last, and whether it can be replaced by others, right?" Shen Zhiyao asked again.
"No one can be sure about this kind of thing." Qiuyue smiled embarrassedly.
"That's right. There are many people in the palace who try to coax the emperor, and everyone will give him a piece of candy. He will naturally start to compare who gives a sweeter candy. But I have to make a big fuss and let him taste the bitterness of love occasionally, so that he can truly keep me in his heart." Shen Zhiyao said with a blink of an eye.
Shen Zhiyao is a "love expert" in modern times. She knows a lot about matters between men and women, but being nice to others all the time cannot win love.
In relationships, you should never put yourself in a low position. Once the other person looks down on you, it will be difficult to turn the situation around.
It is naturally difficult for Qiuyue, a "newbie", to understand these things.
Here, Shen Zhiyao didn't wait for the emperor to come in person, but someone from Fengyi Palace took the initiative to visit and establish relations.
The Queen was planning what to do in the next few days in her study when Shi Jin came in to report that Hu Baolin had come to pay her a visit with something.
The Queen thought for a long time, then asked, "I heard that Concubine Jin suddenly fell ill?"
Shijin was stunned when he heard this. It was clearly Hu Baolin who came to pay his respects, so why did the master suddenly ask about Concubine Jin?
"I heard that it was just a cold. The imperial physician has already examined him and prescribed some medicine. I guess it's nothing serious. But this guy is weird. He even closed the doors of Cuiweixuan. It seems like he's in a bad mood!" Shijin described it vividly.
The queen smiled and shook her head: "He's just short of standing on the gate of the harem and announcing that he's angry."
Shijin also laughed: "This Concubine Jin has always been someone who cannot stand being wronged."
"Then tell me, if I meet Hu Baolin easily, will he start to make trouble for me tomorrow?" the queen asked with a smile.
"Make trouble? Just let her make trouble! The master doesn't have to spoil her!" Shijin pouted. She just didn't like her master to indulge Concubine Jin too much.
"Of course I am not afraid of her making trouble, but Hu Baolin is not a pushover either. I just don't want to buy into her story. By the way, I am also doing Concubine Jin a favor."
After the queen finished speaking, she waved her hand and continued to busy herself with her own things.
Shijin understood that the Queen didn't want to see him.
Come to think of it, this is Fengyi Palace after all. The master doesn't have to receive every random person who comes.
Of course, not everyone can be as favored by the Queen as Concubine Jin.
"Empress Hu Baolin, the Queen has been busy with important matters recently and is unable to meet you. I appreciate your kindness, but please go back." Shi Jin's tone was distant, but his attitude was very respectful.
Hu Baolin was not panicked when she heard this. She bit her lip in a polite manner and said, "I am inconsiderate. Please apologize to the Queen on my behalf. I will come to bother you again when the Queen is free."
Seeing that she was so good at talking, Shijin also laughed and said, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? My master said that we are all the emperor's concubines, so you don't have to be so formal. When you come again next time, don't bring anything."
"I'd like to trouble you to pass on a message to the Queen, asking her not to work too hard. I'll come to pay my respects another day."
After saying that, Hu Baolin smiled and walked away calmly, not looking like he felt any frustration from being rejected.
Shijin stared at her back and thought: She is also a character, but I don't know if it is worthwhile for the Queen Mother to not choose this person for Concubine Jin?
