It sounds weird, but actually, the principle is very simple.

Because, since entering the palace, although Wang Zhenying has been disgusted with being on the bench, this does not mean that she is in love with Sima Yao.

The reason why he and Sima Yao had frequent wars was not because she wanted to compete for favor, but because she was angry at Sima Yao's unfair treatment of her.

Wang Zhenying is not a person who is ignorant of current affairs. If she were that kind of person, she would not have accepted the recommendation of her eldest brother and entered the palace to become the queen.

Now that she has become the queen, Wang Zhenying asked herself, since she entered the palace, she has been playing her role conscientiously.

Dignified and generous, he was calm and calm, but what did Sima Yao give her in return?

In fact, since she was elected as the queen, Wang Zhenying had been prepared that her relationship with the emperor would not be too harmonious.

This is not because Wang Zhenying is ugly and disliked by others, or because she looks down on Sima Yao.

The most important thing is that she, Wang Zhenying, is the daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan, a proper noblewoman from a noble family, and the Wang family has great power in the court. A woman from such a family can marry into the royal family and become a queen. This is

It is a clear statement to the world that Emperor Sima Yao is in the hands of my Taiyuan Wang family!

As Sima Yao grew older, he also began to rule personally, and he was quite thoughtful. How could such an emperor like a woman who tried to control his family?

Even if he doesn't hate Wang Zhenying in his heart, he will shudder whenever he thinks of the Taiyuan Wang family's power behind her.

However, even if you don't like it, you can't treat it harshly or deny face.

This is the most basic etiquette for husband and wife. It is the same for ordinary couples, let alone the emperor and queen of the heavenly family.

There is no problem in favoring Zhang Guiren exclusively. There are many women in the harem anyway. Like Sima Yao, it is not bad to only love one.

If she had three thousand beauties in her harem hugging her all day long, her life might be even more difficult for Wang Zhenying.

She only has one request for Sima Yao, which is to give her the dignity of a queen when facing courtiers and the public when she favors other women.

What's so difficult about this?

They are just a decent couple.

However, it was such a small thing, no matter how simple it was, Sima Yao just refused to do it.

As for how Sima Yao humiliated Wang Zhenying, anyone with eyes can see it.

In other words, what Wang Zhenying hated more than Zhang Guiren was Sima Yao himself. Although Zhang Guiren was brainless and domineering, how could she step on Wang Zhenying's head if Sima Yao hadn't supported her in the harem?

?

It's been so many years.

Since he didn't hate her so much, there was no reason to put her to death. Wang Zhenying walked into the small courtyard calmly, with only the eldest maid by her side, and even the little eunuch who was serving her was thrown out the door.

There are some things that idlers like them don't need to know.

And Zhang Guiren, who has lived here for a long time and lives a pure and ascetic life, what is he thinking about at this moment?

Will she believe Wang Zhenying's promise?

Everything will be answered soon.

Wang Zhenying walked slowly into the small courtyard. The weather was gradually getting colder, and the scenery in the small courtyard was much worse than when Zhang Guiren first moved in.

It looks a bit cold.

"too……"

"No need to inform, I can just go in by myself."

"Stay guard outside and don't come in."

The little eunuch who followed him in was about to sing loudly when he was stopped by Wang Zhenying. The little eunuch didn't scream loudly, and was very disappointed.

"The Queen Mother, that man is extremely cruel. It is too dangerous for you to go in by yourself."

Although Wang Zhenying never revealed the truth about this matter to those around her, she did not hide many things from her close followers.

Including several close maids and young eunuchs, everyone had heard about what Zhang Guiren did, but the details were not clear.

Wang Zhenying sighed. Of course she knew they were doing it for her own good, but she still shook her head slightly.

"Some things, the less you know, the better."

"Don't worry, she doesn't dare to touch me. Even if there is danger, aren't you just guarding the door? As long as you find something wrong, just rush in."

Although the palace maids and eunuchs were still trying to persuade her, Wang Zhenying had made up her mind.

"You don't need to persuade me, just wait outside!"

After saying that, he raised his legs and pushed open the door.

What kind of scene will it be like to welcome Wang Zhenying in front of us?

Wang Zhenying was very curious, but she was not particularly curious.

These days, Zhang Guiren lives here, isolated from the world, but not isolated from Wang Zhenying.

The few slaves Wang Zhenying assigned to Xiao Zhang, they would report to her every three to five days about Xiao Zhang's situation.

In the words of the slaves, although Xiao Zhang has no energy, overall, his life is pretty good.

Therefore, Wang Zhenying did not think that a woman described as withered would appear in front of her.

Has spring come?

When Wang Zhenying saw the woman in front of her clearly, she immediately had such an idea, almost out of control.

Full of brilliance!

Zhang Guiren was indeed not knocked down by reality. Not only was she not knocked down, she even put on her best clothes and jewelry and put on elaborate makeup.

Even her hair is neatly combed, and the style is the latest trendy face-hugging bun.

"Zhang Guiren is indeed the most beautiful woman in Jiankang Palace!"

There is no doubt that everything Wang Zhenying said came from her true feelings and did not have any yin and yang meaning.

The Zhang Guiren in front of me is worthy of this title with her beautiful appearance, elegant figure, decent makeup, and gorgeous clothes.

Wang Zhenying praised her from the bottom of her heart, while Zhang Guiren seemed to accept her praise well and smiled slightly.

To this day, she seems to understand why Wang Zhenying treats her quite well.

I was even happier when I saw that she had left all her entourage outside the door.

The two entered the inner room. Since this was currently Xiao Zhang's territory, Wang Zhenying did not compete with her and let her go ahead.

Somehow, Zhang Guiren was in surprisingly good condition today.

Even the graceful walking posture has recovered, swaying and graceful.

Wang Zhenying followed her a little further behind, and couldn't help but think that with such a charming look, even if she was a woman, she would find it very pleasing to the eye.

It doesn't seem so difficult to understand why a man plopped down when he saw it.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat."

"My place is so shabby that it makes the Queen Mother laugh."

There was a small stove in the inner room, and the small frying pan on it was still bubbling. Zhang Guiren sat down and skillfully added some leaf-like things to the boiling water.

"I used to hate tea the most. I always felt that this thing smelled like medicinal soup. I don't know why you people often put it in your mouth."

"Now I finally know that although this tea soup is bitter, it is not as painful as the human heart. It is precisely because of the bitterness in my heart that I want to drink tea to relieve it."

Nowadays, Xiao Zhang is very good at making tea, and his movements are quite skillful. In the past, when he was surrounded by a bunch of people waiting for him every day, he could not even think of drinking this thing, and he even despised it.

Now that there are less people to serve around me, it’s strange to have this opportunity again.

Fortunately, the Zhang Guiren now is completely different from the Zhang Guiren a month ago. He no longer has any airs and is no longer exaggerated.

Those delicate secret skills also lost the target of displaying them, so they had to rely on their own efforts.

So far, Zhang Guiren is still very grateful to Wang Zhenying. At the beginning, when she promised to release her from prison, she didn't believe a word for several days.

How is this possible?

For Wang Zhenying, who had become the Queen Mother, killing this former enemy could not be easier.

Why would you give up such a good opportunity?

Let alone Wang Zhenying, we ask ourselves, if it were Xiao Zhang who had such an opportunity, she would not let it go.

Wang Zhenying had already died several times in her hands.

However, later, Wang Zhenying not only fulfilled her promise, but also temporarily placed her in this remote courtyard.

Not only did he provide her with a place to stay, but he even sent a few slaves to serve her. Such a good thing was something that Xiao Zhang could not even think of when he was in prison.

Since that day when he settled down in Qingfeng Pavilion, Xiao Zhang's hatred for Wang Zhenying has disappeared. To this day, when he sees her again, he even feels full of gratitude and doesn't know where to start.

"Empress Dowager, please have a cup of tea." She held up a cup of tea with both hands and brought it to Wang Zhenying.

Wang Zhenying happily took it, and drank it directly under Zhang Guiren's probing eyes!

“So refreshing!”

"Aren't you worried that the tea is poisonous?"
