Absolutely! My maid was reborn after time travel

Chapter 289 Zhao Shun strictly refuses to take concubines

The north wind suddenly picked up, and it snowed heavily in Kyoto. The entire city was covered in jade and silver.

Looking out from the dormitory of Qinxian Palace, there is a vast expanse of white outside the palace, and palace officials are cleaning the road.

After Zhao Shun got up, Murong Duan replied: "Your Majesty, Miss He is still kneeling in the hall."

"Don't worry about her. Come with me to the martial arts arena later." Zhao Shun said.

After breakfast, the two went to the martial arts field first. On the way back to Qinxian Hall, they happened to bump into Shen Qinglan.

She was wearing a pale pink furry cloak, looking like an elf in the snow, delicate and cute.

"Sisi, why are you here? It's snowing so heavily, so I'm not afraid of bumps on the road."

Zhao Shun was so happy that he hugged her into his arms. Her body was so soft that people couldn't bear to let go.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask of you, so I came here to bother you." Shen Qinglan said with a smile.

"oh?"

Zhao Shun held her hand and said, "Let's talk about it first in the main hall. Don't get cold."

"Okay, Your Majesty, is it cold in the palace at night? Are you not freezing?"

"not cold."

Zhao Shun touched her head, thinking that now he could finally touch her head without restraint. In the past, he only envied her two brothers.

Back at Qinxian Hall, Zhao Shun personally dusted off the snow from Shen Qinglan's body, then thoughtfully took off her cloak and hung it on a clothes rack.

"Let's go warm up the fire."

"Uh-huh."

Shen Qinglan walked to the charcoal basin and immediately saw He Xiner kneeling in front of the case.

At this time, He Xiner's eyes were red, her face was pale, and she looked tired, as if she had been kneeling for a long time.

I saw her slowly raising her eyes, looking pitiful and sickly.

"My daughter has met the princess."

He Xiner could clearly see the way the prince loved and protected her just now.

She obviously knew the prince earlier, but she let this little goblin take away everything that should belong to her.

She is unwilling...

The prince's favor and the position of regent's princess should have been hers.

If she hadn't been stubborn when she was young, this merchant girl wouldn't have had her turn!

"Miss He? Why are you kneeling here?"

Shen Qinglan turned around and looked at Zhao Shun.

"She begged me last night to take her as my concubine, but I didn't agree, so she knelt here voluntarily all night." Zhao Shun replied lightly, with a very calm tone.

Zhao Shun came closer, took Shen Qinglan's hand, and the two of them looked at He Xiner condescendingly.

"Miss He, are you forcing me to do this?"

"Miss He, please get up first. The ground is cold, so don't cause anything wrong with kneeling down."

Shen Qinglan reached out to help her, but Zhao Shun grabbed her.

After all, they were sent by the Queen Mother. If something unexpected happened, they wouldn't be able to explain to the Queen Mother at that time, and they would just cause trouble for themselves.

"Leave her alone, she is the one who wants to kneel down." Zhao Shun looked at the people on the ground coldly, "Aren't you going to leave?"

He Xiner felt like her tears were running dry last night, but at this moment she couldn't help crying again.

"My maid... I have caused trouble to the prince and the princess, and I ask the prince and the princess to forgive me."

After that, she tried to stand up by herself, but her legs had no feeling.

I thought that when Zhao Shun returned to the main hall early in the morning and saw her so sincere and affectionate, he would feel some affection for her, but I didn't expect that he was still so cold and indifferent, and even brought this merchant girl with him to watch her jokes.

She is a descendant of the prime minister and is a thousand times more powerful than this merchant girl. Why should she be humiliated like this?

"Miss He, are you okay? Murong Duan, call someone quickly and take Miss He back to Yun'en Palace, and then ask the imperial doctor to treat her," Shen Qinglan ordered.

"yes."

Murong Duan called two palace ladies into the palace and helped He Xiner up from the ground.

"My lord, my lord, your concubine, please retire..."

"The Queen Mother is here!"

Before He Xiner could leave the palace, an announcement from the servant came from outside.

The Queen Mother and others entered the Qinxian Hall angrily, and Shen Qinglan and Zhao Shun quickly saluted.

"I have met the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother be safe."

"Xin'er, what's wrong with you?"

The Queen Mother ignored them completely, but held He Xiner's hand and looked down at her legs.

"The Queen Mother is my daughter... I have made the prince and princess unhappy."

He Xiner looked pitiful, and the Queen Mother became even more angry at this time, asking Zhao Shun: "Prince Regent, what is going on? No matter how bad Xiner is, she is still the legitimate daughter of the He family, do you treat an old official in Kyoto like this?

?”

"Back to the Queen Mother, last night Miss He flirted with me in an inappropriate manner. She kept saying that she wanted to be my concubine. It was for the sake of Miss He and the old ministers in Kyoto that I sternly refused. But unexpectedly, this Miss He actually

Forcing me to kneel down and punish myself, I know that the concubine of the He family has a high status and cannot be my concubine, so I cruelly ignored it and asked the Queen Mother to warn me."

In front of so many people, Zhao Shun did not show any face to He Xiner. Although he held her status as "Miss He" very high, he also slapped her in the face and mocked her for not loving herself.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother was immediately speechless. He Xin'er grabbed the Queen Mother's sleeve and said sadly: "The Queen Mother, it is my fault that I have a deep love for the prince. Please don't worry about my affairs.

, I was so angry that I hurt my body.”

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Shun: "Since Miss He is interested in the Regent, and Miss He doesn't care whether he is a wife or a concubine, Regent, why don't you accept Miss He?"

"Ms. He was born in a famous family. She was supposed to be the first wife of a married woman. The couple loved each other so much that her hair turned white. I dare not and cannot accept her as my concubine. I ask the Queen Mother to understand my painstaking efforts. The He family line has withered away. If it happens again,

By making Miss He my concubine, the souls of the late Emperor and Xianggong He cannot rest in peace. I am loyal to the country and cannot see Miss He in deep trouble. Queen Mother, why don't you invite Miss He to return to the palace, and I will find a good match for Miss He.

." Zhao Shun said.

"snort……"

The Queen Mother sneered, not knowing how to refute.

He Xiner held the Queen Mother's arm, suddenly closed her eyes and fainted.

"Xin'er, Xin'er!" the Queen Mother called twice, and then said: "Quickly, take Miss He back to Yun'en Palace and ask the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat her!"

"yes."

After seeing off He Xiner, the Queen Mother sat down at the main seat in the main hall.

"Since the Regent feels that He Xiner is the legitimate daughter of the He family and does not dare to take her as his concubine, then why not take Miss Zuo, Miss Zhuang and Miss Zhuo as his concubine," the Queen Mother said.

"Queen Mother, I don't want to take a concubine."

After Zhao Shun finished speaking, the Queen Mother suddenly became furious, "What did you say?"

"I said that I don't want to take a concubine, so please ask the Queen Mother not to interfere in the affairs of my palace."

Zhao Shun was also merciless to the Queen Mother. Shen Qinglan stood aside, not knowing what to say, so she had to secretly tug on his sleeve and remind him to speak softly.
