Chapter 349 Recommending Zheng Jin
Lin Junxue nodded slightly and let Xie Yu play with her hands.
"Your Majesty, perhaps Mother likes the Second Prince more. As for the First Prince, if his mother's family background is higher, I think Mother would like him more."
Xie Yu's eyes turned cold
Yes, the Queen Mother did not agree to raise the eldest prince in Ci'an Palace.
In the final analysis, it is because the Queen Mother looks down upon the eldest prince's maternal family background.
But his biological mother was just a personal maidservant of the Queen Mother, of low status. How true was his mother's love for him?
Thinking of this, Xie Yu's expression suddenly became frighteningly cold...
Lin Junxue lowered her head, stretched out her hand to hold Xie Yu's waist, and accompanied him silently.
Only when he stopped at that point would Xie Yu's suspicion grow little by little.
The next few days
The Queen Mother was waiting for Xie Yu to go to another palace to favor other concubines.
But after waiting for a long time, Xie Yu did not summon the other concubines.
Whenever Xie Yu entered the harem, he would go to Zhonghe Palace, causing the Queen Mother's face to become uglier day by day.
When the concubines paid their respects, Lin Junxue's faces became increasingly ugly, and their words showed their dissatisfaction with Lin Junxue's exclusive favor.
Lin Junxue pretended not to understand and continued to be respectful as usual, paying her respects and serving him every day, doing everything carefully and properly.
Even if the Queen Mother wanted to find fault, she couldn't find any fault with her.
After all, Queen Lin Junxue is no longer the unpopular queen she once was.
Xie Yu accompanied the empress dowager for several meals, and his words clearly showed his favoritism towards Queen Lin Junxue.
In order to ease the relationship with Xie Yu, the Queen Mother had to endure it temporarily.
The Queen Mother's intentional concession also satisfied Xie Yu, and the two began to live a loving mother-son relationship again.
As for how sincere they are, only the two of them know.
It's June now
Finally, Xie Yu once again stepped into Zhonghe Palace and stayed overnight.
The harem, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to be in turmoil again.
Xie Yu's love for Lin Junxue far exceeds that of Chen Xier back then.
For more than three months, the emperor didn't even look at the other concubines.
Even if some concubines sent him some soup, Xie Yu had no intention of getting close to them.
Finally, the Queen Mother could no longer sit still.
It has been more than a month since she returned to the palace, but the power over the six palaces has not been taken back.
The relationship with Xie Yu was eased by her, the empress dowager, as she gave in.
How could the empress dowager, who was so high and mighty, bear such a gap?
this day
The Queen Mother took Zheng Jin, who had been carefully dressed up, to Taiwu Hall.
Taiwu Hall
The Queen Mother looked concerned
"Your Majesty, you have been very busy with government affairs recently. You should also take care of your health. You need someone who understands your feelings and takes care of you."
The Queen Mother gave Zheng Jin a look, and Zheng Jin immediately stepped forward, looking shy and affectionate at Xie Yu.
Charming voice
"Your Majesty, please have some tea."
Xie Yu glanced at Zheng Jin, but there was no sign of surprise on his face. His expression was cold.
Having a stunning beauty like Lin Junxue by my side.
Even if Zheng Jin dressed up again, Xie Yu thought it was nothing special.
Xie Yu took the tea, took a sip, and put it down.
"What the Queen Mother said is true."
When the Queen Mother saw Xie Yu nod, she smiled and said, "Okay, I think Jin Ronghua is a careful person. If the Emperor has time, please summon her to serve more often."
Xie Yu's eyes were as dark as ink. He looked at the Queen Mother, paused, and nodded.
"it is good"
Today, the Queen Mother brought Zheng Jin here, and Xie Yu naturally knew what it meant.
However, since his mother had come in person with people, he still had to give her the face she deserved.
Xie Yu looked at Zheng Jin who was standing aside and said, "Tonight, you will be my servant."
Zheng Jin was overjoyed. Finally, the emperor was going to favor her again.
She must seize the opportunity given to her by the Queen Mother this time and win back the Emperor's heart.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, the Queen Mother sat for a while and left with satisfaction.
tonight
The news of Zheng Jin's sleeping with the emperor soon spread throughout the harem.
When everyone knew that it was the Queen Mother who brought Zheng Jin to Taiwu Hall in person, did they all understand what was going on?
Zhonghe Palace
Lin Junxue was pruning the branches leisurely and leisurely.
After Danzhen finished talking about Zheng Jin's sleeping with her tonight, Lin Junxue nodded indifferently.
"Well, tomorrow, give Jin Ronghua the pair of Dongzhu earrings that I got a few days ago."
Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty, are you not angry? If it weren't for the Queen Mother, why would the Emperor suddenly let Jin Ronghua sleep with him? Aren't you angry?"
Lin Junxue put down the scissors and waved her hand. Immediately, a palace maid came forward to take away the cut flower pots and replaced them with new ones.
Lin Junxue looked at the angry Danzhen and curled her lips
"What's there to be angry about? The Emperor has been favoring me for almost three months. Do you really think that the Emperor will only favor me from now on?"
Danzhen shook her head
"Of course not."
Lin Junxue said nonchalantly, "If that's the case, why should we be angry? If it's not Jin Ronghua, it will be Consort Mi, Consort Chen, or other concubines. Today, the Queen Mother personally took Jin Ronghua to Taiwu Palace. The Emperor will definitely remember the Queen Mother's face. The Queen Mother and Jin Ronghua will both get what they want."
Guyu said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor still values the Queen Mother's face."
Lin Junxue nodded slightly
"That's natural, but Queen Mother, you are still anxious."
Danzhen and Guyu were stunned and didn't understand what this meant.
Lin Junxue said, "The Queen Mother has just eased her relationship with the Emperor in the past few days, but she is now anxious to intervene in the affairs of the harem and send someone to the Emperor. She can't wait to send Zheng Jin to the Emperor. The Emperor will not offend the Queen Mother. From now on, in the Emperor's heart, he will regard Zheng Jin as the Queen Mother's person, a person placed by the Queen Mother by the Emperor's side. Given the Emperor's suspicion, Zheng Jin's favor has come to an end."
Guyu said, "According to what the Queen Mother said, the Queen Mother really made a mistake."
Lin Junxue gave a meaningful smile and shook her head.
"It's not that the Queen Mother made a mistake, I'm afraid she did it on purpose."
The more Danzhen listened, the more confused she became.
"My Lady, the Queen Mother did this on purpose. Why?"
Lin Junxue said, "On the first day when the Queen Mother returned to the palace, when all the concubines came to pay their respects, I said something on behalf of Zheng Jin. That one sentence was enough to make the Queen Mother completely suspicious of Zheng Jin. At that moment, Zheng Jin was already a useless person in the eyes of the Queen Mother."
paused
Lin Junxue added, "The Queen Mother knows it very well. She sent Zheng Jin to the Emperor now. Even if Zheng Jin is favored for a few days, it won't last long. The Queen Mother's real purpose is not to help Zheng Jin gain favor. It's just that she can't bear to see the Emperor favor me exclusively. She is afraid that I will become more favored and block the way for her, the Queen Mother. That's why she pushed Zheng Jin out, just to share her favor."
Danzhen and Guyu suddenly realized
Qiao Xin walked in and said, "My queen, someone outside the palace has brought me news."
Lin Junxue said calmly, "Well, what's going on?"
"My lady, since the eldest princess returned to the princess's mansion, she has been living a wild and promiscuous life every day. She has also taken in male favorites again and has not restrained herself at all. Yesterday, the eldest princess fell in love with an actor again. Last night, she made a big fuss and asked for the actor's body in public. The actor could not bear such a great humiliation and hanged himself this morning. He is no longer alive."
