Chapter 2606 Becoming Soft
Chunmei retorted in a low voice: "Although the Queen is good to the master, she is not so good to her. I still feel that the most important thing is that I gain favor and status."
"The emperor is the master of the previous dynasty, and the empress is the master of the harem. I think it is better to be favored by the empress."
"But doesn't the Queen live her life relying on the Emperor's favor?" Chunmei said.
"I have no knowledge." Jin Shan curled her lips, "What do you know, my maid? The empress's foothold in the palace does not depend on the emperor's favor. It depends on her own ability. If nothing else, just say this. Remember, the profit for a year is not much worse than that of the national treasury. Last year's war and this year's floods, none of them were paid by Yunji, the empress? What's more, the empress is of noble blood and is the princess of Northern Qi... Forget it, with You can’t understand either.”
Chunmei murmured in a low voice: "Even if the Queen is so capable, she doesn't rely on the Emperor. But we are not as capable as the Queen. Even if we don't compete for favor, the master must have an heir, otherwise what will happen when he gets old in the future? ? Aren’t women just living for men and children? Your Majesty is treating you well now, but so be it..."
"It seems that you don't believe that I am willing to open a warehouse for me?"
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just..."
"Chunmei, let's make a bet? If I can let the empress open a warehouse for me, you will stop nagging these things in my ears in the future. Otherwise, I will send you out of the palace to save you the noise."
Chunmei was stunned: "Master is really going?"
"Actually, I'm also very curious. People say that the Queen dotes on the women in the harem. I also want to know how far this doting can go."
Jin Shan became interested as she spoke, turned around and walked back to Fengyi Palace.
Chunmei was speechless.
She was listless and unwilling to ask her to compete for favor in front of the emperor. Now when she went to compete for favor with the queen, she was full of energy and no longer sleepy.
Chunmei had no choice but to follow.
Jin Shan arrived at Fengyi Palace in a hurry.
The Queen is in her study, with a large pile of drawings in front of her.
It was cool in the room. The Queen was wearing a soft and thin moon-white breast wrap, with a pleated silk skirt underneath, and no outer trousers, exposing her slender white shoulders and arms. Her long hair was all pulled up, which was cool and comfortable.
She was even barefoot, with her shoes kicked aside casually, and she sat cross-legged on the bamboo mat.
The entire study has a relaxing and cozy atmosphere.
Jin Shan bowed down and said, "I'd like to pay my respects to you."
Yun Dai was immersed in the drawings, and her servants knew not to disturb her at this time. She was so absorbed that she didn't notice Jin Shan coming in at all.
Hearing Jin Shan's voice, she raised her head: "Oh, what's the matter?"
The broken hair on her forehead was a little messy, and there were a lot of paper balls on the ground.
Like a little girl troubled by her homework.
Jin Shan's heart suddenly became a little softer.
She bent down and picked up all the paper balls on the ground and said, "Look at the mess in your room."
"It's better to be a little more chaotic. Only when you feel relaxed can you do important things." Yun Dai turned a small brush in her hand and looked at her with her chin propped up, "Didn't you go back with Qi Xiao and not take a nap? Why did you come back? "
Jin Shan glanced at Chunmei who was guarding the door, and remembered the purpose of her visit.
"Ahem." She cleared her throat, walked up to Yun Dai, and half-knelt in front of the case, "Mother, my aunt came to see me again."
