The Empress Behind the Veil
Chapter 12 Proud And Unpolite
After knowing Qin Ruojiu came, he immediately put down the glass and then stepped small and saluted the Empress, “Yuanran saluted His Majesty the Empress,” his tone is not humble and not haughty, so he said, except for courtesy and courtesy.
Qin Ruojiu glanced at him, she felt like this woman was like a lotus that was not polluted by the environment, her beautiful horn, she made people want to embrace her and love her. It was fitting that Emperor Zhaolie was so fond of her, because she was indeed beautiful and good at war.
He thought, “If I open my black veil, will I also be as pretty as her? will Emperor Zhaolie also treat me like him?”
Too bad, Qin Ruojiu had already sworn, before the Emperor fell in love with her, he would not open this black veil.
A while later, Qin Ruojiu lowered his head and nodded, “His Majesty's concubine Zhao, do not hesitate, please sit down!”
The woman replied and saluted again then she sat down gracefully. Then said with a smile, “I had a headache last night, so this morning I woke up late. Please the Empress does not blame me.”
Upon seeing the friendly smile, Qin Ruojiu's heart felt warmth, it seemed like it had been a long time, there was no one so friendly to her.
In his memories, other than Qi’er, no one was willing to approach him. Strangers who see it will only feel disgusted and afraid. For the first time, there were people who wanted to talk to him in a friendly manner.
Qin Ruojiu replied with a smile, “It's okay.I also just got up and got ready. Consort Zhao's arrival was just in time.”
“Yes, just ask on my day, Lu’Er, she just helped me dress up!” after saying, Qin Ruojiu pointed at Lu’Er. Lu’Er saluted then replied, “Izin replied His Majesty Concubine, all the Empress's words are indeed true.”
Zhao Yuanran laughed as well, “Then it is indeed fitting. Has Consort Lan and Consort Zhen not been here yet?” if time were to be counted, it should be time to pay respects to the Empress already past.
As soon as Concubine Lan and Consort Zhen were brought up, Qin Ruojiu did not know what to answer.
“Maybe they will come later!” Qin Ruojiu knew that his status would make people feel afraid. Those who did not come, it made Qin Ruojiu feel relaxed. Conversely, if he met them, he also did not know how to deal with them.
Concubines in the palace were always struggling for affection, his tone was also piercing, his thoughts were hard to guess, ordinary people would have a hard time living with them.
“Oh...” Because Qin Ruojiu dodged, Zhao Yuanran did not ask anymore, he just tasted tea before him. His trap with, Consort Lan and Consort Zhen's nature was very haughty and felt great, perhaps they felt no need to pay respect to the empress anymore. It is outrageous and does not know the rules of the palace.
Just as he felt his guess was right, suddenly a sharp and unhappy voice came from the direction of the door, “Don't I have come? If not coming to pay respects to the Empress is a big sin, Zhen’er did not dare to neglect.”
