Chapter 144 Concubine Mei wants to see her
Although Nie Shuangshuang was lying on the bed with her back to her, she could still clearly feel that she was not really asleep.
Those noises did make her uncomfortable.
Normally at this time Nie Shuangshuang would have fallen asleep, and there has been no movement until now, which shows that she is indeed feeling uncomfortable.
That's right, Song Chuji had been so rude to her just now for no apparent reason, and hadn't considered her feelings at all. I'm afraid both of them are tossing and turning and unable to sleep right now.
Neither Nie Shuangshuang nor Song Chuji slept well that night. The next day, they both came out with dark circles under their eyes and got on their carriages respectively without saying a word to each other during the whole journey.
Nie Shuangshuang glanced at Song Chuji's carriage, and then saw Liao Wei following behind Song Chuji, walking one in front and one behind. Liao Wei's eyes seemed to show fatigue from not getting enough rest.
Nie Shuangshuang was about to look away when Liao Wei saw her and sneered at her.
Nie Shuangshuang ignored her provocative look. Liao Wei finally had her chance to shine. She was much more useful than the concubines in the palace.
He was indeed good at seizing opportunities and striving to be the best, but the emperor and empress refused to say a word to each other, which made the people present feel a little depressed.
At first, people thought it was just a small matter. The Queen would probably take the initiative to lower her head and take the appropriate measures to get His Majesty back, just like before. But now even Wang Xiaorui noticed that something was wrong.
Wang Xiaorui approached cautiously and said, "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? If you were willing to bow your head and salute, His Majesty would definitely not be angry anymore!"
Nie Shuangshuang shook her head when she heard this, "Why should I bow my head when I am innocent?"
They were originally going to the county magistrate's mansion today. After getting off the carriage, Nie Shuangshuang followed Hui'an and was led to the east wing by the guards.
Another guard leaned over and made a gesture of invitation to Song Chuji, "Your Majesty and I, please come this way."
But Song Chuji just stood there, staring at Nie Shuangshuang's back with a gloomy look.
An entire night had passed, and she didn't even come to talk to him?
Is she so decisive in using cold violence against him? She said she loved him so much, but then she turned around and ignored him when there was a conflict!
What about love and tolerance? It's all fake!
"His Majesty?"
Seeing that he was still standing there motionless, the guard reminded him again.
Concubine Mei lived in the second courtyard on the left side of the east wing, very close to Nie Shuangshuang.
Liao Wei walked into the room with a forced smile and said, "My Lady Concubine, you must be tired after all this journey. Shall I fetch you some water to wash up?"
Concubine Mei was still packing her things. She raised her head when she heard this and said, "That's not necessary. As for you, have you run into a wall with Chu Ji again?"
His complexion was so bad that you could tell at a glance.
“I did hear that Your Majesty and the Queen had a conflict last night, so I wanted to go over and comfort the Emperor so that he wouldn’t get angry with the Queen.
When they came to the county magistrate's mansion just now, the two of them didn't say a word to each other, and they lived far away from each other. The emperor was very angry and didn't talk to her all the way!"
When Concubine Mei heard this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, "You said this as if it was for the good of both of them.
The Queen was indeed a bit stronger, but who knows if she was frightened by the scene last night? How can it be all her fault?
In my opinion, Chu Ji made more mistakes!"
Concubine Mei sighed, "It can't always be like this. Go call the Queen and I'll give her some counseling. I think it will be less painful."
Liao Wei pursed her lips and retreated respectfully, "I think with the help of the Concubine Dowager, the Queen will definitely regain the emperor's favor."
Why don't you help her if you have the time? She wants to enter the palace and be Song Chuji's woman. Can't she see it?
Concubine Mei looked indifferent and didn't want to say anything more to her. She knew Liao Wei's level best. It would be useless for her to talk to her if she was not suitable for the palace. Why waste her words and add to her troubles?
"I heard that Your Majesty originally disliked the Empress, but later on, for some reason, he changed his mind. Maybe he used some other method!"
After Liao Wei finished speaking, she turned around and went out to invite the queen.
Concubine Mei glanced at her back calmly and sighed.
At this time, Nie Shuangshuang was having a meal in the house. The environment was not very good due to the bumpy ride. Although Nie Shuangshuang didn't have a big appetite on weekdays, she missed eating well for a long time.
When I put down my chopsticks, Hui'an came in with Liao Wei.
Hui An walked in with a roll of her eyes, "Your Majesty, the Concubine Dowager wants to see you and sent her over!"
He pointed at Liao Wei beside him and rolled his eyes.
When Nie Shuangshuang saw Liao Wei's dissatisfied and angry look, she understood that it was because Song Chuji had said something rude and humiliated her last night, and she was angry now, so she didn't look kindly to her, the instigator.
She took the handkerchief in her hand and wiped her mouth, "How was your Majesty's treatment of you last night?"
Liao Wei was stunned for a moment, then said coldly, "The Queen has misunderstood. His Majesty has not favored this servant!"
Nie Shuangshuang sneered, "I see. I thought I would have to call you sister in the future. It seems we are not destined to be like this!"
This is a mockery of her hooking up with Song Chuji but ending up embarrassed.
Liao Wei secretly glared at Nie Shuangshuang.
eye.
"I am a humble servant, so I am naturally not qualified to be your sister!"
Nie Shuangshuang stood up and said, "In that case, please lead the way. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Liao Wei."
Hui'an knew that Concubine Mei would definitely not hurt the Empress, so he did not follow them and stayed here to help Nie Shuangshuang pack up.
Concubine Mei lives in the largest courtyard in the west wing, and now the entire county magistrate's mansion is full of royal family members.
"Your Majesty, I'm here." Nie Shuangshuang bowed as soon as she entered, being very polite.
When Concubine Mei saw her coming, she smiled and put down what she was holding.
"Shuangshuang is here? Sit here and have some tea."
Liao Wei reacted quickly. Knowing that she was the only servant standing here, she bent over and prepared tea for Nie Shuangshuang.
The fragrance of tea and the scent of Nie Shuangshuang blended perfectly together, and the whole room was filled with a fresh and refined aroma.
Concubine Mei smiled and said, "It's only because you are here that my place smells so good."
Although Concubine Mei became a nun, she did not shave her long black hair off, but tied it up neatly.
Nie Shuangshuang felt a little embarrassed by her praise. She lowered her head to look at her attire, which was already very plain for a queen.
But Concubine Mei was a nun, and had been away from the secular world for a long time. She also disliked fancy clothes and jewelry, so she looked a little extravagant.
"Your Majesty asked me to come here, is there something important you need?"
"It's nothing, but I saw you and Chu Ji had some unpleasantness last night, and you didn't talk just now. What happened?"
