Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

"You are too anxious." After leaving the academy, the mother-in-law empress took a few steps quickly, confirming that the people in it could not hear her, she slowed down and said to the empress who was supporting her, "the emperor again How to spoil the imperial concubine, it is impossible to say such a big thing. Just let it go. The reason why I did not want to make the family ugly...to the left and right, a magistrate who is not a heavy minister, how to deal with it after the limelight is over, it must be Something went wrong on Ai's birthday?"

Gu Zhen bit his lip and whispered, "Daughter-in-law understands. It's just that... let's just leave, and leave the concubine alone, is this?"

"It's okay." The mother empress dowager calmly said, "As long as it is true that the Yi family's private meeting with foreign men is true, even if the concubine has a bright tongue, the emperor can't bear her face, but she will never let off the possibility of adulterers and women. Moreover, the imperial concubine is a smart person, she dare to quibble a little bit for us. Before the emperor, she was afraid that she had to change her way to get rid of herself first! After all, she already has a sister who has a red apricot out of the wall, and there is another one. Where can Hong Xing go out of the wall, where can she go to her innocence? The emperor has always been wise and martial, even if she is not willing to do what she is now, she will definitely get stuck. The emperor is still in the prime of life, how much does this little Yun clan have? Older? She still has some colors now, and she can win over the emperor. After a few years, the emperor will not change her mind, and some newcomers are eager to try!"

She sneered slightly, "Mia Niang, didn't it just go on like this?"

Although the queen wanted to say that it was Yuan Yanniang’s temperament, even if no one Yun Fenghuang stood up to win the favor, it is probably unlikely to be favored for too long, but at the moment the two barely counted as an alliance, so they did not say it, just whispered. : "Daughter-in-law knows."

"Are you sure this is true, are you?" The mother empress dowager was not relieved after thinking about it, stopped, turned her head, looked at Gu Zhen, and asked in a slow voice, "Don't be smart...no matter whether the emperor or the imperial concubine , You are not a fool!"

Gu Zhen was stunned and would feel sorry. The queen mother suspected that she called the thief to catch the thief. She planned such a plot to frame Yi Xingen, and quickly explained: "Daughter-in-law these days, for the birthday banquet, she is busy with her feet and can't wait for someone. People are split into two for use, but where can they dare to mess up? The daughter-in-law just learned about this matter just after hearing the report."

"Yes." The Queen Mother thought for a while, and nodded slightly, "If you have this ability, you won't be suppressed by the imperial concubine in these years."

It sounds like your old man is not being crushed by the imperial concubine...

The queen slandered, and said, "It can be seen that Skynet has recovered its negligence without leaking. If this person has done so many wrong things, it will be exposed!"

At this moment, in the abode, Yun Fenghuang was kneeling in front of Chunjia and crying: "Your Majesty, I don't know why Yi Shi did this? Why does she have to be sorry for you?"

The empress dowager was not present, Chunjia's expression was much softer than before.

He stretched out his hand to lift the concubine, and said quietly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. You can go to the table to accompany the children. I will take care of it!"

"Your Majesty..." The meaning of back protection in the words of the emperor is very obvious. Yun Fenghuang suddenly showed a touch of emotion and was about to speak. Who knows that Du Langu, who is still silent underneath, said suddenly at this moment: "Your Majesty, noble concubine. The empress may not have nothing to do with this matter!"

Seeing the imperial concubine all showed surprise.

Du Langu sneered, before looking down and reporting: "It's only because the minister and Empress Zhaorong are related by blood, but for various reasons, the minister is unwilling to recognize Empress Zhaorong. Over the past six months, Empress Zhaorong has been entangled in every possible way, and the ministers are too strong It’s annoying. During today’s dinner, Empress Zhao Rong said that the Seventh Empress learned that she had an uncle and hoped to see her. As long as the minister fulfilled the wish of the Seventh Empress, she would not bother the minister. The minister believed it was true, so she went to the appointment. Who knows that the seven emperors passed by in a flash, but the Empress Zhao Rong is still confused with the ministers, and this is what the guards can detect..."

Hearing this, Yi Xingen, who was kneeling next to him, couldn't help being stunned!

The above Yun Fenghuang suddenly turned his head!

"You and Zhaorong are blood relatives?" Yun Fenghuang's heart was furious, and Du Langu was as good as Yi Xingen said! ! !

She tolerated this for a long time and set up a special bureau, instructing Yi Xingen to lure him into a trap, so that by the hand of the Queen Mother, forcing this person to admit the blood relationship with Yi Xingen, she originally thought it would be foolproof.

After all, as a young and powerful foreign minister, and the lonely man and widow of the beautiful imperial concubine were caught in the present, no matter how unwilling to admit this sister in his heart, what better way to get out than to throw a blood relationship at this time?

In Yun Fenghuang's calculations, as long as Du Langu recognizes Yi Xingen's sister here, and Yi Xingen will come to him in the future, there is no possibility that he will refuse!

If he refuses, Yun Fenghuang has a way to deal with him.

As a result, this surnamed Du, at this time, still dare to resist? ? ?

The imperial concubine sneered in her heart, but she showed a surprised look on her face, as if she didn't know before, but at this moment she blurted out subconsciously, "Then why are you so unsightly?!"

When these words were said, the emperor and his ministers were all stunned. Chunjia was a little bit ridiculous, and said a fair word for his courtiers: "A Huang, is Du Qing's appearance also magnificent?"

"..." Yun Fenghuang said with a face that was difficult to express, "Your Majesty, if he is placed among ordinary people, of course he is considered correct. But compared to Yi Shi, you think Zhaoqing has seven emperors, this? This? Why doesn't it look like a family?"

Among the descendants of Chunjia's emperors, Zhaoqing is undoubtedly the most beautiful.

However, the seven emperors are not too much. After all, the sisters of the same father and the same mother, of course, the seven emperors are young, and the eyebrows are still immature. In addition, they are not as favored as the eldest sister, and they are not as good as the eldest sister. But to say that the most beautiful emperor in the palace is undoubtedly this pair of sister flowers.

Chunjia doesn’t care about the Seven Emperors as much as Zhaoqing. However, compared to the four princes, who can’t remember their names, Chunjia will visit them at least occasionally, because this daughter gave him a good birth, which impressed him very deeply. some.

At this moment, when the imperial concubine said so, the emperor couldn't help but ask: "Are Du Qing and Yi Shi really brothers and sisters? Or cousins?"

Du Langu had no expression on his face, and said in a slow voice: "The minister and Zhao Rong are the same father and mother."

The imperial concubine exchanged glances, and the words "No wonder then" were clearly written in the bottom of her eyes. At the same time, he gave Du Langu's mother-in-law a label of "plain appearance" in his heart.

After being interrupted by such a interruption, Du Langu had prepared a series of questions, and his aura fell back. He settled down before continuing: "Your Majesty, the minister thought that Empress Zhao Rong had not been in contact with the minister in these years, so she suddenly came to the door. Said, still entangled, 80% of them were instigated by the imperial concubine and empress, and wanted to draw the minister into his command!"

This is really a good courtier of Chunjia!

Yun Fenghuang was extremely angry and smiled. She didn't say anything to Du Langu, only pulled the emperor's sleeve, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the concubine feels that even if it is a half-father, Yi Shi is beautiful, this Du Lan Gu may not be able to be horrified, and have thoughts about his sister that he shouldn't have. It's better to give him a death!"

Chunjia coughed dryly: "Naughty!"

At the end, he said to Du Langu, “You don’t have to be so suspicious. You don’t know the relationship between you when you look at the imperial concubine. And you, as the foreign minister Xu, don’t know that even though Yi’s is the imperial concubine. The concubines and others were ordered more often, but after the concubine was appointed by Yi Shi, they rarely summoned them. This should be a misunderstanding."

Knowing that Du Langu and Yi Xing'en were brothers and sisters, the emperor immediately relaxed.

That's right, as Yun Fenghuang estimated, in Chunjia's eyes, the capable and young Du Langu is much more important than Yi Xingen!

As long as the courtier didn't betray him, as long as the courtier had a reason to keep it, it would be a farce in the eyes of the emperor.

It can be big or small, and the initiative to end is entirely in his hands.

If you just said that you just didn't want to damage the reputation of the royal family after a big incident, at this moment, you really want to turn big things into small things. As for whether Yi Xingen was ordered by his concubine to win over Du Langu, the emperor thought it was not a big deal. If not, of course he has to speak for the concubine, after all, the concubine is in front of him, isn't it?

Even if it is, he just wants to make a good man anyway.

It's not as taboo against the growth of Xuanqing Palace as before.

Therefore, I don't want any conflict between the favored courtier and the favorite concubine.

But Du Langu and Yun Fenghuang obviously didn’t want to fulfill the painstaking efforts of the emperor, Du Langu said: "Your Majesty Rongzi, the minister’s suspicion is valid! As we all know, this birthday feast is for the imperial concubine and empress to assist the empress. Sure, Empress Zhaorong is the confidant of the imperial concubine, and she gets the moon first near the water platform. How can she not know the law of guard patrol? If she really wants to avoid people's eyes, how could she be caught by the guard? Besides, Empress Gang sent someone to go. During the banquet, you will know at the first question! If the noble concubine’s confidant has only such a trick, how can you assist the sixth house over the years?

"Aiqing, the imperial concubine said, she doesn't know the relationship between you." Chunjia frowned, before Yun Fenghuang could speak, and said first, "It must be because Zhaorong didn't say anything to the imperial concubine. If so, Where do you say Zhaorong knows so many? And Zhaorong has been able to stay peacefully in the palace over the years, relying solely on the noble concubine to take care of him. But he has no talents. Aiqing doesn't want to think of Zhaorong as a complete plan.

Yun Fenghuang was robbed of the reason by the emperor, and his heart was aggrieved. Looking at Du Langu's eyes, it was a bit cold.

She knew that the emperor was already suspicious of being so messed up by this servant.

I don’t know how much time I have to spend to coax Chunjia... Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang said coldly: "Your Majesty, let’s talk about it, Du Langu just suspected that his concubine was too early. I knew the relationship between him and Yi Shi, and wanted to use Yi Shi to coerce him! It’s just that Du Langu was too self-righteous! He was a foreign minister, neither a high-ranking family background nor a talented person. Hua, what kind of thing? It's just that Yi's thought of his blood relatives, and it is difficult for him to give up. The concubine is also a noble concubine, and such a thing is rare!?"

Chunjia persuaded, "Don't say that to Du Qing when Ah Huang is angry. This is my optimistic courtier."

He added, "Moreover, Du Qing is the second best official, and he is outstanding in terms of talents and learning."

"Your Majesty is optimistic about the number of courtiers!" Yun Fenghuang said contemptuously, "Besides, what is the second place? The concubine's cousin, Sui'an's cousin, is also in the top three? To talk about talents, concubine. Deng Chengzhai, his prospective niece, is it missing again?!"

Although the marriage between Xie Meng and Deng Chengzhai was finalized long ago, even Yun Fenghuang planned to throw the pot for a long time. Deng Chengzhai transferred his love to each other, but because Xie Meng was young and is now a filial piety, it has not been made public. .

As a courtier that Chunjia was optimistic about, Du Langu had a low background. He had been released before, but he didn't know about it.

Hearing it right now, I couldn't help being startled.

He is quite self-satisfied, and he disdains that Xie Wuzheng is also the top three.

The reason why Du Langu was only the second place was not that he was inferior to the champion, but because the imperial power was declining and the Ji clan controlled the government. His advisor Cui Wan had not competed with the Ji clan, so he had to be placed second.

Du Langu can be said to be worthy of anyone if he is really talented in competition.

Especially Xie Wuzheng, the top three... people with discerning eyes know it, but the emperor was anxious to cultivate a group of underachievers at the time, so he deliberately supported him.

If it came true, Xie Wuzheng would actually be a second-tier average.

But Deng Chengzhai...

To be honest, Du Langu still admires this.

Although Deng Chengzhai did not go through the imperial examination at all.

However, it was Deng Chengzhai who led Du Langu to be favored by Chunjia.

It can be said that Deng Chengzhai has the grace of knowing and meeting him.

Du Langu looked down on Xie Wuzheng, but didn't dare to belittle Deng Chengzhai. At this moment, I heard that Deng Chengzhai had already been appointed as the niece of the imperial concubine. He was a little shaken in his belief that Yun Fenghuang was calculating his own thoughts in the matter tonight.

He wondered, if Deng Chengzhai had already fallen to the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine could recruit herself through Deng Chengzhai, but why bother to let Yishi take risks?

Of course, there is another possibility... is that the real goal of the imperial concubine tonight is not herself, but the queen and the queen mother?

While Du Langu was pondering, Yun Fenghuang was still talking to the emperor: "How about this, your Majesty directly dealt with Yi Shi. So without Yi Shi's hub, no matter how concubine's body wants to calculate Du Lan Gu, it is also There is nothing to do! It’s just your Majesty, this Yi Shi is not a concubine who insists on embarrassing her, but Du Langu’s inability to see her half-sister alive! In the future Zhaoqing will ask the Seven Emperors, your Majesty will have to make it clear with them, and let them follow The surnamed Du goes to seek revenge against his mother, it has nothing to do with the concubine!"

Chunjia couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "I said, this is a misunderstanding, but it has nothing to do with you."

Looking at Du Langu again, she frowned slightly and said, "Du Qing, what do you think?"

Knowing that the emperor's patience is limited, this is to imply that he should no longer be held accountable, Du Langu hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Chen...your order!"

He wasn't reconciled in his heart. He said "obey the order", which meant that he was just following the instructions of the emperor, but he didn't really approve of this.

It’s just that I’m a courtier, but Yun Fenghuang refused to let it go, and he kept asking Yi Shi to deal with it seriously: "Although my concubine brought her up with one hand, she has also been sentimental over the years, but because of this, There is absolutely no reason why she has harmed your concubine! If you want to hate Yishi, you hate yourself. You have entered the palace to be a mistress. Why can't you put down a brother who doesn't care about you at all? There is no need to add to this palace! Anyway, in the past many years since the palace entered the palace, your majesty has never wronged his concubine like this. What kind of thing is your Yishi, you have to bear the humiliation for you?!"

When the imperial concubine said so, Chunjia couldn't forcefully persuade him for a while.

He thought that Yun Fenghuang was right. The imperial concubine was in the palace for these years, and I didn't dare to suspect her easily. Why can Du Langu suspect her and expose it lightly?

The emperor pondered it, looked at Yi Xingen, frowned and asked: "Today's affairs are all because of you, what can you say?"
