Harem Reborn: Queen's Conspiracy

Not long after I returned to Ningxiang Pavilion, the queen sent someone to deliver a reward. It was Wei Zi, the most capable maid in serving the queen. She was over twenty-five years old. She was not released from the palace, but stayed.

Everyone around the queen must call her aunt.

Wei Zi handed me a pair of jasper bracelets, a set of gold headbands and a string of eighteen-child agate necklaces sent by the Queen, and said: "The Queen has said that Ji Cai has been wronged today, and the Queen knows it in her heart.

Yes, it’s just that Concubine Zheng has always been like this, so talented people should not pay too much attention.”

My eyes turned red, and I murmured: "I am in a humble position, how can I dare to disobey the imperial concubine? What she said is true. It only made the empress worried. I was even more frightened. I bothered my aunt to report it back."

The Queen, my concubines have all memorized your teachings, and I will not let the Queen down."

Wei Zi pursed her lips and smiled and said: "You are so polite. If you say anything about living up to your expectations, I will report it to the Queen." Then his tone changed, with disdain in his eyes, and he said: "It's too much to talk about Concubine Zheng.

It's too much, and I actually embarrassed the talented person in front of the Queen."

I lowered my head, not knowing what to do, so I said awkwardly: "I don't know where I offended the imperial concubine, and made her so unhappy..."

Wei Zi said coldly: "It's been a long time since an important minister like Cai Ren has entered the palace. Concubine Zheng must have been unhappy so she took it out on you." Then he realized that what she said was too presumptuous, so he laughed and said: "Actually, Concubine Zheng is unhappy."

That's how Concubine Zheng is, she'll be fine if she loses her temper."

I raised my head and smiled at her and said, "Thank you, auntie, for the advice. I just entered the palace and there are some things I don't do well. I hope my auntie can teach me more." After that, I took off a pair of gold bracelets from my wrists and stuffed them.

In her hands, she refused to accept it. Seeing that I insisted on doing so, she had no choice but to accept it.

As soon as she left, I asked Spring Equinox to collect the rewards from the Queen. According to the custom, not only the Queen, but also concubines and above should give me rewards. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Concubine Zheng's reward to come. Although she didn't like me, but

The rules cannot be broken. She was rewarded with two antique vases, a gold hairpin, and a tourmaline bracelet. In fact, antique vases are the most useless. They can only be displayed for viewing. Even if they are displayed, they are afraid of accidentally touching them and breaking them one day.

What's even more troublesome is the concubine's reward, which is a pair of golden steps, two pairs of pearl earrings, and a jade Ruyi. Since they cannot pass the queen and Concubine Zheng, they are not very valuable, but they have a very good meaning.

It's wishful

I casually had lunch at noon, and was about to take a nap when the emperor's decree and reward came. I was promoted to a fourth-grade beauty, and I was given a set of hair, a box of jewelry, eight pieces of brocade, and the rest were three pieces of silver.

One hundred taels, twenty gold leaves, a bag of golden ingots, a bag of golden beans, and a bag of golden melon seeds are all used to reward the servants.

I accepted the decree and received the reward, and gave the eunuch the eunuch five golden leaves and a handful of golden beans. The eunuch smiled and took it away. After he left, I gave a handful to every servant in my palace.

Golden melon seeds, let them serve me well and be loyal to me

"Now that you have received my reward, you know what to do. What you will get in the future will definitely be much more than what you get now. So, do you all understand?" I know that my current appearance is completely different from the one I saw Wei Zi just now.

If there were two people, they must have been shocked by me. Everyone lowered their heads and looked trembling.

"Yes, I understand." Although they agree on the surface, who knows what they really think in their hearts? You can only judge them over time.

The emperor didn't come to my place that night. I didn't need to ask to know that he stayed up all night in Qinzheng Hall correcting the memorials, because the next day, news came that he was going to personally conquer the Turks.

The emperor cannot go on an expedition in person without being sure of victory, because if we lose, the morale of our army will be greatly affected. I know that they fought beautifully this time, and ushered in many years of peace for the country at least.

In the year I died, both countries were peaceful

During this personal expedition, the emperor not only went there himself, but also brought the second prince, who was born to Concubine Zheng, with him. The discussion in the court and the public about the second prince being appointed as the crown prince was getting louder and louder. The second prince had the power of Concubine Zheng’s mother’s family.

After training in the army again, his chances of winning are getting better and better.

Even I can see this situation clearly. I don’t understand why the seventh prince still chooses to be unconvinced and resist. Maybe he thinks he is younger and has plenty of opportunities; maybe he thinks his mother’s clan is not inferior to the other two in power.

Prince, but he is too young after all. Who is the opponent of the thoughtful second prince?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh. No matter how the Seventh Prince tried to compete with the Second Prince, as long as it didn't involve his father, he would be happy. There were still six years before the incident happened, and I should still have time to make arrangements to prevent it from happening.

I didn't see the emperor again before the personal expedition, but I heard that he stayed with the queen for one night, with Concubine He for one night, with Wang Zhaoyi for one night, with Xu Chongrong for one night, and only with Concubine Zheng for two nights.

Ten days later, the queen, Concubine Zheng, and concubine saw off the emperor's personal expedition team in Hanyuan Square in front of Hanyuan Hall.

As soon as the emperor left, the entire harem seemed to have turned into a pool of stagnant water, silent and gloomy.

The empress was not able to spare us from our morning and dusk inspections because she was unwell, and Concubine Zheng probably thought that I only had a good skin and was not to be feared at all. She did not regard me as an opponent at all, so she did not embarrass me. Besides, the second prince went to the battlefield.

What she does most every day is to send people to inquire about the second prince, and then bow to the Bodhisattva in her palace several times.

As a result, my life becomes a bit boring

In the past, when I was at home, I couldn't find time in the day because I had to practice piano, read books, practice calligraphy, and sometimes dance and embroidery, so the time in the day felt not enough. But here, of course, I can't practice dancing, and there are no books to read.

I didn’t even bring my piano with me because I didn’t like embroidery, so I could only practice calligraphy.

After a month of this, my right-hand calligraphy got better and better because I practiced left-hand calligraphy at home. I copied Liu style and Yan style with my right hand, but it was not as smooth as my left hand. I didn’t expect that this time because of boredom.

, but I can calm down and write well.

After taking a nap that day, I felt stuffy in the house, so I wanted to go out for a walk without letting anyone follow me. I wore a white jacket underneath, an apricot skirt, tied with an orange belt, and another one on the outside.

Wearing a double-breasted collarless dress with a white background embroidered with goose yellow, willow and green auspicious cloud patterns, her half-arms were combed in a single snail bun without a hairpin ring, and she wandered towards Penglai Pond.
