Chapter 221 Practice
The queen turned sideways, picked up the ginseng soup from the tray Nanny Tang was carrying, and presented it to the emperor in person, with a faint smile on her face, as if she was looking forward to the emperor's taste of her handicraft.

The emperor looked at the ginseng soup in the queen's hand, but he didn't intend to reach out to pick it up. The death of the six princesses in the past few days has also hit the emperor very hard. Therefore, as soon as the emperor saw the queen, he thought of the Longevity Day , the queen's face, looking at the queen now, I only feel that her face is disgusting.

The queen held up the ginseng soup. After a long time, the smile on her face could no longer be held. The noble concubine on the side had seen enough jokes, and then she snuggled into the emperor's arms and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, the queen personally serves the emperor. It would be a pity if the emperor does not drink the ginseng soup made by the chef."

With the imperial concubine talking next to him, the emperor softened his expression, but his expression remained indifferent. He glanced at the empress coldly, his indifferent attitude in sharp contrast to the tenderness and sweetness when facing the imperial concubine, "Leave it alone, I have time." Of course you can drink it. As a queen, you are the mother of a country. Someone will do these chores. Don't make soup in the future. You have no choice but to lower your status."

When the empress heard the emperor's indifferent words, her breath was suddenly suffocated. Seeing the faint glimmer of water in the emperor's eyes, it seemed that she couldn't believe that such indifferent words came from the other party's mouth.

However, the emperor's attitude was still indifferent. Even if the empress looked at him again, she did not see the slightest trace of warmth on his face. The empress finally gave up, and just slightly bowed her head and said: "Yes, my concubine obeys."

The emperor nodded and did not ask the queen to sit down. He just asked: "What's important for the queen? If it's just to deliver ginseng soup, then please step aside. I have other important matters to deal with."

The queen hadn't even said a word, and she didn't even sit down in Qianqing Palace, the emperor was anxious to drive her away. It can be seen that the emperor didn't want to see the queen, and he didn't even bother to do superficial work for the queen.

The noble concubine watched from the side, joy could not be concealed from her eyes, and she took the time to look at the queen's suddenly pale face.

The queen originally thought that her heart had been chilled to the bone and that she would never feel heartache due to any of the emperor's words or actions. However, she overestimated herself after all. The emperor's words once again hurt her and even made her feel jealous. Shameless and shameful.

The queen was caught off guard by the emperor's attitude, and she almost forgot her purpose of coming to clean the palace. However, when the queen's eyes met the sarcastic gaze of the imperial concubine, she felt as if she was awakened by a basin of cold water.

"Your Majesty! The ministers and concubines are here to discuss important matters!" The queen said hastily.

The emperor didn't want to see the queen at all, so he waved his hand impatiently and asked, "What's the matter?"

At this time, the empress also ignored the impatient expression of the emperor, so she calmed down and said to the emperor: "Your majesty, my concubine sees that the emperor has been worrying about the matter of the six princesses for the past few days, and the imperial physicians and assistants in the palace can't see anything." It was a mistake, so I dared to speak to the emperor with my concubine."

"What do you want to say?" The emperor was a little impatient at first, but when he heard the empress mention the sixth princess, he managed to suppress his impatience and wanted to hear what the empress had to say.

"Your Majesty, since the imperial doctor and the widower in the palace cannot be found out, and the emperor and the concubine are unwilling to let the body of the sixth princess be damaged, I do have an idea. Why doesn't the emperor invite the master in charge of Lingtai Temple to come to the palace to perform the ritual? This concubine also feels that the matter of the Sixth Princess is really strange, so she invites Master Mingkong to come, so as to bring bad luck to the palace." The Queen lowered her head and spoke respectfully, but there was a strange light shining in her eyes.

"Oh?" The emperor heard what the queen said, and then he remembered that he had forgotten to invite the monks from Lingtai Temple to save the sixth princess since the accident. Now that the queen mentioned it, he remembered, if the monk from Lingtai Temple It would be good to be able to find out the cause of the Sixth Princess' death, if not, it would be good to save the Sixth Princess.

"You said that, but I remembered." The emperor nodded, thinking.

The noble concubine at the side heard the name of the sixth princess, and looked at the queen defensively. She didn't believe a word of what the queen said. conspiracy.

The imperial concubine thought to herself, she made up her mind not to let the empress' tricks succeed, since the empress said to invite master Mingkong, she would not let the emperor invite him.

The imperial concubine rolled her eyes, she thought about her heart, she snuggled up beside the emperor, and cried, "Your Majesty—Liu'er has been away for so many days, and my concubines can't eat well every day, and no one can sleep well. Yesterday One night, I dreamed that Liu'er called her concubine mother in her dream, saying that she was living a good life in heaven, so let us not disturb her purity. My miserable Liu'er went so early, leaving behind her mother. Concubine is alone, how can concubine mother live..."

The imperial concubine burst into tears, seeing the emperor's heart hurt, she waved her hand and said, "Then I won't invite you, since Liu'er doesn't want to be disturbed, then I won't invite you."

The queen only shed two tears when she saw the imperial concubine. The emperor felt so distressed that he wished he could give her his life. He was so filled with hatred that his teeth were grinding together. How could she not know the virtues of the imperial concubine? Therefore, the queen had to do the opposite.

Hearing that the emperor said that he would not invite monks to perform rituals, the queen not only did not try to dissuade her again, but she seemed to be relieved. She nodded to the emperor and responded with a smile: "The emperor is right. The six princesses have been gone for so many days." Now, it would not be appropriate for anyone to disturb her purity at this time, so I ordered her to go down, and no one will be invited to attend the funeral of the Sixth Princess."

The noble concubine breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the emperor's words, but when she approached and saw the queen's face, she immediately had self-doubt again, it shouldn't be, if the queen wants to deal with herself, she should try her best to persuade the emperor, Why was it revealed so easily?
Could it be that the queen's purpose is to prevent the abbot of Lingtai Temple from coming forward to save Liu'er? Could it be that Liu'er's death has something to do with the queen?
The more the noble concubine thought about it, the more she felt that she had finally grasped the point. It turned out that this was the queen's conspiracy. The queen did not want the master of Lingtai Temple to come forward to do something. There must be something shameful. In this case, she can't Let her wish!

Thinking of this in her heart, the imperial concubine's expression changed again, she picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, sobbing pretendingly: "Your Majesty, I have thought about it, even though I said so, don't disturb Xiao Liu's cleanliness. But how can the emperor invite the master of Lingtai Temple to enter the palace to perform the Dharma? How can it be regarded as disturbing the purity? Liu'er is also a sensible child. Master Mingkong is here to perform the ritual for Liu'er, so let's do it."

After the noble concubine finished speaking, she shed two more tears, showing a gentle, considerate, virtuous appearance.
