disgust?

not at all!

Speaking of which, there was no direct grudge between her and Wang Shijiu.

They will be discussed together, just for a dog man who is not worthy of it.

envious?!

This seems to be the case!

Queen Tao didn't want to admit it, but when she saw Wang Shijiu, who was dressed in official uniform and exuded confidence and pride in her bones, she felt very envious.

The words of "Queen Mother He" just now echoed in my ears at this moment.

"You are fifteen or sixteen years old, and you are as beautiful as a flower... you are really a 'horse in bright clothes'!"

Yes, they are all young ladies, and they were once high-spirited ladies in the capital!

Today, Wang Shijiu is still young and cheerful.

But she, Tao Youwei, was forced to become a resentful woman by this deep palace.

During these days of confinement, Queen Tao just couldn't go out, but she could still hear the noise outside.

For example, the Dog Emperor Zhao Gui caused a big mess for the salt policy reform, but Queen Mother He stepped in at the critical moment and helped clean up the mess.

Wang Shijiu, one of the maids promoted by the Empress Dowager He, walked in from the front of the court openly and openly.

A woman, standing proudly in the court reserved for men, talking eloquently and actively discussing politics...

Empress Tao felt envious just thinking about that scene.

Both are women, and both are delicate girls who were raised by nobles and nobles since childhood.

I am trapped in a deep palace because of a dog man, like a flower drowned in cow dung.

As for Wang Jiuniang, she has already walked out of the back house, participating in political discussions with the men, and guiding the country together!

envious!

She is really envious!

She wished she could turn back time. She would never covet the position of queen, but would continue to live happily like a showy noblewoman.

She knew that with her ability, she could not reach Wang Shijiu's height.

However, with the power of the Duke's government and the family name of her mother's family, she can still live as she pleases.

Instead of being like now, with no favors and no children, and being treated as a "hostage" by the ruthless dog emperor who threatens the Tao family!

...When she thought of this, Queen Tao felt extremely regretful!

"The Queen?"

Wang Shijiu held something in her arms and kept bending her knees to salute.

But she never heard a response, so she quietly raised her eyelids and looked at Queen Tao secretly.

Queen Tao was not angry, nor did she appear to be provocative. She was actually distracted!

Wang Shijiu was puzzled, but she didn't show it. Instead, she called out at a slightly too loud volume.

Her cry did not wake up Queen Tao.

However, the nanny who was following Queen Tao realized that her master had "gone off" and hurriedly tugged on Queen Tao's sleeve.

Mammy mistakenly thought that her master was still angry with Wang Shijiu. Now that she met him, she deliberately used her status as queen to suppress her.

Oops, this is not good!

Not to mention that Wang Shijiu is the daughter of the Wang family and the eldest concubine of the Nanping Palace, but that she is now a female official of the Queen Mother, and the Queen cannot easily offend her.

When beating a dog, it still depends on the owner.

The Queen Mother was outside the Queen Mother's palace, deliberately embarrassing the Queen Mother's female officials... Anyone who heard this would think that Queen Tao was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother He.

The Queen was already isolated and helpless in the palace, so Empress Dowager He missed her old friendship and showed her kindness to the Queen.

As a result, the queen did not express her gratitude, but still——

Grandma didn't dare to think any more, so she hurriedly pulled Empress Tao hard again.

Queen Tao finally came to her senses and looked up to see her wet nurse looking anxious and worried.

Then, Queen Tao suddenly remembered that there was Wang Shijiu in front of her.

"king--"

Empress Tao originally wanted to say "the royal concubine", but she immediately thought that the Wang family not only had the honor given by her husband's family.

People have official positions on their heads.

This is not a false position, but a real official of the imperial court.

But, wait a minute, what is Wang Shijiu’s official position in the Bowen Museum? It seems to be a bachelor?

"No courtesy, please get up, Master Wang!"

Queen Tao said tentatively.

Seeing that Wang Shijiu thanked him respectfully and showed no strange expression, Queen Tao knew that she was not wrong.

Wang Shijiu really became "Scholar Wang"!

"Master Wang is here to report government affairs to the Queen Mother!"

Glancing at the pile of documents Wang Shijiu held in her arms, Queen Tao lowered her eyelids slightly and lowered her complex eyes.

She said softly, "The Queen Mother is in the side hall, go and get busy!"

"Thank you, Queen, for the tip!"

Wang Shijiu bowed politely again, then held the document in his arms and walked slowly towards the side hall.

Looking at that slender figure with inexplicable power, Queen Tao stood blankly for a long time.

And she also experienced a battle in her heart.

Finally, a flash of perseverance flashed in her eyes.

…

"Auntie, please think about this carefully!"

Zheng Nian'er told Mrs. Hu everything about her plan.

Mrs. Hu was shocked at first, her eyes filled with disbelief.

It was as if she knew for the first time that her daughter was such a bold and resourceful person.

This kid is so bold, he actually came up with such a ridiculous plan.

But... Hu is an extremely ambitious woman.

She is selfish, she is cunning, and she is full of little schemes.

Otherwise, she would not have provoked the little emperor like that over the years.

In her heart, she always wanted to compete with Queen Mother He.

Although her daughter's plan sounds absurd and full of dangers, once it succeeds, the benefits it will bring are also very objective.

She, Mrs. Hu, would most likely really trample Queen Mother He under her feet, and then replace her as the most noble woman in the Dayuan Dynasty!

Or, just, give it a try?

When it is completed, it means wealth and glory.

Even if it fails, with the emperor here, it won't end so miserable.

Mrs. Hu bit her lower lip hard and used the pain to calm herself down.

I can't rush or panic, I have to think carefully!

Mrs. Hu did not agree in a hurry, but knelt down on the low couch, groping for the embroidered patterns on her skirt with her fingers, and thinking hard.

She thought about her daughter's plan again.

Every detail, possible flaws, and everyone’s reactions and counterattacks.

Hu sorted everything out in detail.

Finally, her eyes were full of determination——

OK! Done!

Wealth and honor are sought in danger. If we don't work hard, the Zheng family will always be slaves.

Mrs. Hu has had enough of being bullied!

She didn't want to be like last time, when her children were beaten, but she still had to apologize to them with a smile on her face!

"Nian'er, let me prepare for this matter. Don't let your Majesty know about it!"
