Chapter 204 It’s too cold, let’s get some heat
It was deathly quiet.
It was so quiet that the empress dowager's face turned red instantly and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Even though she is already this age.
Even though she had experienced many hardships.
Even though..... Even though.....
But this is not a reason for her to fart in public!!
Things like farting actually don't happen in the harem most of the time.
Foods that cause farting will not be sent to the people above in the first place.
There are basically no bad breath, body odor, foot odor, etc.
Otherwise, how can you expect the emperor to favor you?
I'm afraid that it will leave psychological trauma after coming here once.
Not to mention the slaves below.
Even if they fart, they have to hold it back!
If you have a little smell on your body, you will be destined to be a hard laborer.
So even though the Queen Mother is so old, this is the first time she has embarrassed herself in front of everyone.
The most important thing is that the fart is too loud!!
The Queen Mother's face now turned pale and blue, as if a color palette had been overturned.
It's really exciting!
An Lingrong, Fang Chunyi and Xia Dongchun, who were standing next to them, were the closest to them and did not dare to make any move at this moment.
I can only hold my breath silently and pretend nothing happened.
Luo Yao really wanted to take two steps back, but she held back.
It was Sun Zhuxi, who was serving on the side, who couldn't stand it anymore and broke the deadlock under the pretext of delivering medicine.
"Queen Mother, the medicine is ready, drink it while it's hot."
Her face was full of worry and concern, and the awkward atmosphere in the room was relieved a lot.
The Queen Mother nodded weakly.
"Okay, put it there."
Feeding medicine is also a strenuous job, and she was still thinking about whether to let Concubine Chen feed her the medicine.
Just like he tortured Concubine Hua yesterday, he kept finding fault with her.
But she was also afraid that the other party was also a fool like Concubine Hua, and that the incident would affect her.
In fact, the empress dowager knew clearly that with the emperor backing up Concubine Chen, she could not do anything to her.
At most it was a harmless punishment, and I believe the emperor would make it up to her in other ways.
Only if Concubine Chen is truly afraid of me, then I will have the dignity of an empress dowager.
But at the moment, she is clearly not afraid.
When the Queen Mother thought of this, she felt suffocated.
When she was still a daughter-in-law, the man above her gave her a lot of scolding.
In Kangxi's generation, the empress dowager was a Mongolian. She basically didn't care about anything and couldn't even speak Chinese very well.
But there is also an empress dowager above!
The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was very powerful. Which of her concubines didn't try to please her carefully?
Not to mention going against her, as long as she showed the slightest sign of dislike, Kangxi would be the first to take action.
Now, the emperor is her biological son, but he doesn’t stand on her side.
When she was a daughter-in-law, she had to endure her mother-in-law and grandmother.
Now the daughter-in-law has finally become a mother-in-law, and it’s the daughter-in-law who is in charge of the family again!
The empress dowager, who was a little angry at the moment, completely forgot how she had survived all those years of tyranny.
Looking at the four people standing in front of her, she was still unwilling to give in and insisted on calling out Concubine Chen's name!
"Princess Chen, you will be the one serving me."
Luo Yao sneered in her heart but agreed.
He just picked up the soup bowl beside him and immediately frowned and said:
"Why is this bowl so cold? Maybe the medicine inside has cooled down!"
"How can the people below do their work? They can't even do this little bit of work properly. Are you so lazy just because the Queen Mother is sick?"
She turned and looked at the palace maid serving on the side, her voice stern.
The palace maids were instantly reminded of the fear they experienced when they were dominated by Concubine Hua yesterday.
Subconsciously, he knelt down and begged for mercy:
"Please forgive me, Empress Chen. I will never slack off!"
Luo Yao snorted coldly at this.
"Since the Queen Mother is kind-hearted, I will spare you this time. If I find out again..."
She acted like she was the main character here, as if this was her Eternal Longevity Palace.
This made the empress dowager frown and she winked at Sun Zhuxi beside her.
Sun Zhuxi understood and immediately stood up to interrupt Luo Yao.
"My Lady, this medicine has been tested by this old servant, there should be no problem with it."
Luo Yao frowned in displeasure at being interrupted.
Looking at Sun Zhuxi who looked confident, she said coldly:
"Whether it is true or not, Aunt Sun can come and take a look for herself and find out. I just don't know how you can test this bowl of soup which is so cold!"
Sun Zhuxi was dismissive of this and immediately went forward to check.
She touched the medicine when it was brought in, and the bowl was a little hot, how could it be cold!
Then she touched...
Mm, icy cold.
Sun Zhuxi touched it again, not believing it.
If she hadn't considered that this bowl of medicine was for the Queen Mother, she would have reached in to touch the medicine inside.
Everyone could clearly see that she originally looked very confident, acting like the most important person around the Queen Mother.
At this moment, he was filled with shock and disbelief. He touched the bowl back and forth in his hands, but it felt cold.
"This, this is impossible!"
"I have clearly checked it, how come..."
She subconsciously wanted to explain, but the Queen Mother interrupted her with a frown.
"Okay, maybe the weather is cold, the medicine cools down quickly, go heat it up again."
What's done is done, and saying more will only continue to embarrass you.
She also felt a little resentful in her heart, wondering how come the people below couldn't even do such a small thing!
Is it really because they are sick that they think they can just get away with it?
With this thought in mind, her eyes turned colder as she looked at the people below.
Sun Zhuxi personally took the bowl and heated it up.
She was also full of resentment and felt that she was being wronged.
He had even made up his mind to teach this Concubine Chen a lesson.
Soon, a palace maid came back with the medicine, which had obviously been heated up.
The tray was respectfully placed in front of Luo Yao, but she did not take it.
Instead, he looked at the armor on his hand and said to Sun Zhuxi:
"Aunt Zhuxi, please help me get this bowl of medicine. I have armor on my hands, so it's not convenient for me to do it."
Sun Zhuxi's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, could it be that his little trick had been discovered?
The porcelain bowl has now been heated to the point where it is extremely hot. If you hold it for a little longer, your hands will be burned.
The Concubine Chen said this, probably to test me!
Sun Zhuxi naturally didn't want to agree, so he persuaded:
"Your Highness, please take off your armor, otherwise it will be inconvenient to feed the Queen Mother medicine later."
Unexpectedly, Luo Yao shook her head and refused, saying confidently:
"That won't work. If I take off this armor, won't I lose my dignity?"
"I can't do this!"
Wearing armor while feeding medicine is nothing. Some people even wear armor when going to the cold palace. This is a symbol of decency!
Therefore, the armor must not be taken off, otherwise it would be a loss of face for her position as a concubine.
