Chapter 208 The Silence Is Deafening

"Hui'er, you followed me into the palace, and it was wronged."

"Now, you are so concerned about the concubines in the harem, how can I bear it?" The emperor held Hui's hand, and his heart was deeply touched.

He had countless concubines in the harem, almost all of whom were selected from the imperial selection or the daughters of court officials.

As an emperor, whether he likes it or not, he can only treat everyone equally.

Balancing the harem is balancing the previous dynasty.

His only true love is even more precious.

Hui'er said seriously: "I have never thought of competing for favor with the sisters in the harem."

"I have never thought of monopolizing your majesty. Your majesty belongs to the harem and everyone."

The only choice he made in his life was Hui'er.

Only Hui'er was asked by him personally.

Even though Hui'er had been in the palace for many years, she could now faintly see the traces of time. There were countless concubines younger and prettier than her, but no one could shake her position.

Hui'er was cold in nature, and never begged for his favor like the concubines.

Having no desires or requests for so many years has made him more concerned.

Now seeing Concubine Hui currying favor with the concubines for him, the emperor was deeply moved.

[What a grudge, what a grudge...]

[The emperor is almost moved to tears, right? ]

[Of course she doesn't want to monopolize you, she only wants to monopolize the sisters in the harem...]

Before entering the door, the queen greeted him outside the door.

Seeing Concubine Hui, the queen's eyebrows drooped instantly, and the smile on her face was reduced a little.

[Alas, what did she do to make the dignified and generous queen mother frown? ]

Lu Chaochao was very curious.

"Concubine Hui has been waiting outside the palace gate for half an hour, why didn't you let her in?" The emperor's eyebrows were displeased. He and the queen were respectful to each other, and he had never seen the queen get petty.

"The queen is taking a nap, and it was my servant who didn't report it. Please punish your majesty." The big palace maid knelt at her feet.

When Concubine Hui saw the emperor giving the queen a face, her face turned black immediately.

"I am willing to wait, I am willing to wait."

"It has nothing to do with the Empress."

As soon as she approached the Empress, the Empress quickly avoided her.

It seemed that being touched by her was extremely uncomfortable.

The Emperor saw this scene and became more and more angry.

"Wan'er, you have always been sensible and never jealous. Why can't you tolerate Concubine Hui now?" The Emperor entered the door, and Concubine Hui poured tea for the Empress diligently.

A pair of bright eyes looked at her, as if the whole person was alive.

The teacup in front of the Emperor was empty, and the Emperor coughed dryly.

Concubine Hui seemed to notice him at this time, and with difficulty she withdrew her eyes from the Empress and hurriedly poured him a cup.

It's just...

The action was a little perfunctory.

Even the water splashed on the Emperor's sleeves, she didn't notice it.

"Your Majesty, this is a cake made by my concubine, your Majesty, try it quickly. There are some hawthorns in it, which is quite refreshing." Concubine Hui looked at her with bright eyes, much more enthusiastic than when facing the Emperor.

"I don't want to eat it. Empress Hui can take it away." The queen had a cold face and didn't even want to glance at it.

The emperor put down the teacup heavily. After all, he didn't say anything harsh because the prince was present.

"This is Hui'er's heartfelt gift." The emperor saw that Empress Hui was trying to curry favor with her, but the queen didn't appreciate it, and he was depressed and resentful.

The queen sneered and looked at the emperor's eyes as if she was looking at an enemy.

"I don't need this little gift. Empress Hui, don't come to me if you have nothing to do!"

"Look at you, how can you be a queen? You are so petty, is this the upbringing of the Rong family?"

The emperor was really angry, and put down the teacup suddenly, making a loud noise.

The palace people knelt down in fear.

When Empress Hui saw that her eyes were red, she looked distressed and anxious.

"If the queen didn't know, she wouldn't eat it. Why are you forcing her to do it? You don't understand women at all! Women are not your appendages, you should respect them." She didn't forget to put on eye drops for the emperor.

Emperor? ?

I always feel that what she said seems to imply something.

Concubine Hui looked at the queen carefully: "I am not like your majesty. I understand the queen. I will never force the queen. I respect all the choices of the queen."

Lu Chaochao suddenly trembled, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.

The emperor also felt a little...uncomfortable.

"Forget it, Hui'er will plead for you, set up the meal." The emperor pinched his eyebrows. He never understood why the queen was so hostile to Concubine Hui.

Although he liked Concubine Hui, he gave the queen the dignity and status she deserved. Why couldn't she tolerate her?

The queen looked unhappy and didn't want to say a word.

She looked at the emperor with resentment, full of helplessness.

"The eighth day of next month is the queen's birthday. I am going to give the queen a surprise."

"The queen will definitely like it." Concubine Hui smiled.

The emperor was a little jealous. Concubine Hui treated the queen better than himself. But thinking that Concubine Hui was making compromises for him, he couldn't bear it in his heart.

"Look how much Concubine Hui cares about you. She prepares gifts for your birthday every year."

"When you caught a cold and fell ill, she couldn't sleep at night and didn't even want to sleep with you."

"When you sneezed, she would eagerly boil medicine for you. Her hands were burned and blistered. She didn't have time to bandage it, and she would bring it to you in the rain."

"She cares more about your birthday than her own affairs. Last year, she copied Buddhist scriptures for you, and her arms couldn't be lifted for half a month."

The prince clenched his right fist and coughed violently, interrupting his father's words.

[Oh my goodness, the queen is moved! ]

[He is almost persuading the queen! ! ]

[What is he doing? I'm going to die! The queen looked up at Concubine Hui! ! Wow wow wow...]

The emperor looked at the prince and saw that he was coughing violently and his face was red. He couldn't help but say: "Let the imperial doctor take a look in the afternoon, be careful of catching a cold."

The prince put his fist to his lips and nodded his head.

"Remember to ask the imperial kitchen to send duck stuffed with glutinous rice, mutton stewed with deer tendon wine, and another Luohan vegetarian dish. The queen likes it."

She thought for a while and said, "It's good for the queen to drink some black chicken soup these days. It's cold recently, and the dampness will be removed, so the queen won't have a stomachache." She even remembered the queen's menstrual days.

She even knew that the queen had a stomachache!

The emperor's eyelids jumped, he didn't know that the queen liked to eat these!

"Do you still remember what I like to eat the most?" The emperor asked unintentionally.

The cold Concubine Hui's face was slightly stagnant, and her handkerchief was clenched tightly.

Just when she was about to change the subject, she heard Lu Chaochao shouting.

"The three fresh shark fins in the palace are delicious." Speaking of eating, she became excited.

"That's what Concubine Xian likes to eat." Concubine Hui raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Crab meat soup is delicious too." Lu Chaochao continued.

"That's what Concubine Qin likes to eat..." Concubine Hui didn't even pause, and she could easily make it.

The emperor gradually showed shock. Concubine Hui knew the preferences of the concubines in the harem so well! !

"Hui'er is thoughtful. You actually put so much thought into me." The emperor was quite moved. Concubine Hui was so cold and didn't care about the people in the secular world, but she actually put so much thought into him.

Concubine Hui opened her mouth, but didn't say a word.

Keep silent.

Everyone was silent.

The silence was deafening.
