Chapter 246 Xu Rou is easy to use
Cining Palace.
Xu Rou stood up reluctantly and saluted the Queen. This Queen was also very short-sighted. Didn't she see that her aunt didn't like her? She didn't say hello and get out, but actually sat down to drink tea. How thick-skinned was she that she had to stand up and salute her? In her opinion, the Queen did it on purpose, deliberately making her salute and making her feel uncomfortable.
The Queen would never guess what this idiot was thinking. She was also thinking about how to get Xu Rou to leave, because she had to negotiate with the Queen Mother next, and it was not convenient to talk in front of Xu Rou.
The Queen Mother became interested at this time. The Queen used to wish to stay away from her, but today she could sit down and drink tea calmly. It seemed that something was going on. Although she thought so in her heart, she still kept her composure and said nothing. This was not the first time that she had competed with the Queen, and it was just a matter of seeing who could not keep calm the most.
"Concubine Xu, you have already paid your respects to the Queen Mother. The weather is nice outside, don't you want to go out for a walk?" Seeing that Xu Rou had no intention of leaving, the Queen knew that there was no point in trying to reason with this idiot, so she just drove her away.
"Your Majesty, it's too cold outside. I don't want to go out for a walk." Xu Rou refused outright, thinking that she didn't know that the queen must have something she wanted to say behind her back. She couldn't leave, lest her aunt fall into her trap when she got old. Her aunt had asked her to come into the palace to help her.
Coincidentally, the Queen Mother and Xu Rou thought the same thing. The Queen, this sinister and cunning woman, must have come up with some tricks to deal with her. Fortunately, Rou'er was there. She didn't believe that the two of them couldn't deal with her alone.
"Rou'er is not an outsider in my Cining Palace. If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to hide it." The empress dowager was always rude to the queen.
The Queen couldn't do anything with these two idiots. She needed help today, and she really didn't want to wait until next time to see the Queen Mother's face again.
"Mother, it's like this. I would like to ask you to kick that Concubine Huang out of Ningyuxuan." The Queen said straight to the point.
"I agree. I agree to kick Concubine Huang out." Before the Queen could finish her words, Xu Rou couldn't wait to take over the conversation and said anxiously. Qiu Die, who was standing behind her, had her eyes flashed, but could not see anything unusual.
The Queen Mother glanced at Xu Rou with disapproval. Rou'er was still too young and impatient. The Queen obviously didn't want to offend anyone, so she let her be the first to take action. Did she look so easy to use?
Xu Rou shut her mouth after being looked at by the Queen Mother. She also realized that she was too reckless. It was all the fault of that bitch, the Queen, who used the words that concerned her the most to make her talk too much and displease her aunt.
"Oh." The Queen Mother spoke slowly: "It was the Queen who personally arranged for Concubine Huang to live in Ningyuxuan. Now she is living well, why do you want to kick her out? Aren't you slapping yourself in the face?" Don't think she doesn't know what her intention was in letting Concubine Huang live in Ningyuxuan.
The queen knew it was like this. The queen mother was cunning, and she didn't expect her to be easy to talk to. "It's like this. When I arranged for Huangpin to live in Ningyuxuan, I didn't expect that Ningyuxuan was very close to Qiyun Palace. Huangpin is a scheming person. Now she has flattered the emperor in the name of helping him lose weight. Even the emperor has been running to Qiyun Palace every few days."
"What do you say have to do with me? Even if the emperor favors Concubine Huang, isn't it normal?" The empress dowager disagreed. This queen is just narrow-minded and can't stand the emperor favoring others.
"This shouldn't be possible." Xu Rou cried out, "How could that bitch Huangpin let her cousin the Emperor favor her? Aunt, we have to think of a way to get that Huangpin out to Ningyuxuan." It would be best if she could move in.
The Queen Mother had no idea what to do with Xu Rou, a stupid teammate who always played badly, so she had to give in: "That's your business, don't drag me into it. I'm old, and I don't want to get involved in your jealousy."
The Queen suddenly felt that although Concubine Xu was a little stupid, she was irrational when it came to the Emperor. She could make good use of this when she had the chance in the future.
"I don't know what your mother's request is. You can tell me as long as I can do it." The queen knew that the queen mother would not give up until she saw the rabbit. So she just threw out her conditions and saw whether the queen mother would accept them. Given the queen mother's greed, she bet that she would definitely accept them.
Xu Rou looked at the Queen Mother longingly. The Queen's condition was too tempting and her aunt couldn't let it go. Besides, even if the Queen didn't bring it up, she would find a way to drive Concubine Huang out of Ningyuxuan. The Queen's proposal was like a small flame that ignited a raging fire in Xu Rou's heart.
The Queen Mother was silent. She was very tempted by the Queen's proposal. She had wanted to regain power in the harem for a long time. According to the conditions proposed by the Queen today, even if she was only allocated the benefits of one place, she would be very tempted. It was easy for her to come forward, but the key was... it would be difficult if the Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus intervened.
"If mother can accomplish this, then the sewing room in the palace will be under your charge in the future." The queen threw out the biggest bait, which was also her greatest sincerity.
The empress dowager's heart began to beat violently. The sewing room was one of the most lucrative places in the harem, in charge of the sewing of everyone in the harem. If it was under her name, she wouldn't have to collect those meager monthly allowances.
"It's easy for me to step forward, but...will there be any problems with the Emperor and the Emperor Emeritus?" The Queen Mother said hesitantly. The Emperor was giving her less and less face, and she was a little afraid of her eldest son.
"That's something that mother should worry about." How can you get benefits and not worry about them?
"Mother, I might as well tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Huangpin lives in Ningyuxuan and is close to the emperor. She is also your and Xupin's mortal enemy. If she says something bad about you in front of the emperor, and you don't say anything, then Xupin, if you want to be favored by the emperor, it will be a long time."
After saying that, the queen stood up and looked at Xu Rou meaningfully. As expected, she saw Xu Rou's anxious look. This fool Xu Rou was too easy to use. With her status in the queen mother's mind, this matter was settled.
Seeing the Queen leaving with her people, Xu Rou anxiously walked up to the Queen Mother, squatted down and leaned on her legs: "Aunt, it's great that the Queen handed over the needlework room to you. Don't you often complain that the monthly allowance is not enough to spend? You can't miss this opportunity." It must be said that Xu Rou has learned her lesson. She didn't say anything else and directly pointed out the key point of the needlework room.
