Treacherous Living in the Imperial Harem

After receiving the news, the queen urgently summoned the concubines to discuss the matter in Chongchang Hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressing, and those who didn't know thought that there was some terrible news...Well, this is indeed bad news for the queens and concubines and other high-ranking officials.

Even if it was Concubine Shu Cui Lianye, who was basically never beaten by the Queen Mother, she actually didn't want the Queen Mother to return.

After all, Cui Lianye and his ilk, at least before the queen and the imperial concubine fell from power, didn’t even dare to think about Qingci Gong. They are living now. Although they are not favored, they have a child under their knees, and they are not in position. Isn't it good to keep the door closed every day? When the child grows up, he just asks to go together and become a concubine in the fief, so he is truly at ease.

At this moment, the mother-in-law empress dowager returns, and the harem can't be peaceful unless the previous dynasty said it.

Maybe it will involve them.

The high-ranking concubines were sinking, while the low-ranking concubines were trembling and pleasing to the eye with low eyebrows.

It took a while before the queen spoke, and the silence was broken.

The queen suppressed the irritability in her heart, smiled reluctantly, and said: "It's really pitiful! Although I have known for a long time, the mother-in-law empress dowager Jiren has her own life, and she will be fine. Now she received Zhun Xin'er, she was finally called Ben The people of the palace breathed a sigh of relief! It seems that your majesty can also be relieved... I call you over today to discuss how to share your worries for your majesty."

Concubines, look at me and I will look at you. I think the meaning of these words should be, how to make the empress dowager of the mother-in-law to heal is a glorious reflection, she died earlier, so the emperor does not need to worry about the empress dowager Yuan in the future. ?

"It's just that the palace is far away. Even if the empress has her heart and filial piety, you and I are now beyond our reach." It is hard to say what everyone thinks in their hearts. They can only continue to be silent, or Yun Fenghuang said, "Let's see what your Majesty will do next. Arrange it. If the mother-in-law empress dowager can return to the palace so that we can take care of her, it will be great."

Gu Zhen thought in his heart, don't!

It’s best for the Queen Mother to be interesting, and insist on staying in the palace...So even if Chunjia is worried about her, it is not so convenient if she is not in front of her and wants to do things.

She said lightly: "The imperial concubine is very true. Let's do this. Everyone has worked harder these two days, but if you have free time, you can also learn from the imperial concubine and pray for the queen mother who is a vegetarian."

The queen thought about it these two days. Although the imperial concubine responded quickly at the time, she did pretend to pray for the Queen Mother Yuan for the past two days, but...

If the Sixth Palace did this, it would appear that Yun Fenghuang was like that, and he did not say that he was particularly filial and considerate to the emperor.

After hearing the Queen's suggestion, everyone agreed, and then quietly looked at Yun Fenghuang's face.

Seeing the imperial concubine's expression at ease, not as if she was angry, she was a little relieved.

The queen again ordered the people to arrange for the palace clerk to clean up the Spring Palace. Regardless of whether the Queen Mother will come back or not, anyway, as a daughter-in-law, she must always assume a gesture of welcoming her.

After the concubines were dispersed, Yun Fenghuang went back to the palaces. On the way back, Yun Fenghuang ordered Chen Jing to arrange for the concubine Mu: "Others don’t want the empress dowager to come back. She can’t do the same? She is praised by the empress dowager. Get up! I should be hoping for the mother empress dowager to come back."

"I don't want to think about it. What is the sixth house telling about her now? She is not the one who did this in this house about going to the mother to keep the child!"

"The birth mother of the second and sixth princes, who is not going to be confused?"

"It's the children in front of the queen herself, the biological mother of the twelve princes, is it clear that they went there?"

"Why did you get here to Concubine Mu? Now that the eighth and sixteenth princes are still young, it's okay. When they grow up, the contribution of Concubine Mu's hard work in raising them will become an enmity instead. ?"

"The reason why the Sixth House doesn't take her seriously, isn't it because everyone knows that the queen doesn't want to see her sister?"

"Otherwise, for the origin of Zhaowu Bofu, the position of the concubine, and the identity of the queen's cousin, who would dare to offend her?"

"I don't want to think that when she was in the palace, she was usually a cousin in the middle palace. How majestic it was!"

"It's the mother empress dowager, no matter how she doesn't wait to see people in this palace, she is indeed kind to her!"

"If she is smart, she should be loyal to the empress dowager at this moment, and begged her to return to the palace and sit down!"

Chen Jing was a little worried: "Niang, if the mother-in-law empress dowager comes back, she will make Concubine Mu embarrass us, is this...?"

"Are you stupid?" Yun Fenghuang looked at him in astonishment, and said, "Concubine Mu is a fool, and the empress dowager is not confused! Especially she has suffered so much in the past two years, so she managed to get such a turnaround. The opportunity, can you not hurry up? My palace has not fallen out of favor now, she just came back and spurned Concubine Mu's troubles with the palace, and made your Majesty fall into trouble again. This is not to kill your majesty's affection for her? Let's talk about it. Now, her opinion with this palace is in the final analysis just a dispute of mood."

Mainly, many of her actions in pitting the Queen Mother are hidden deeply, and the Queen Mother doesn’t even know...

"Her old man, the queen, and the Gu family, that's a deep grievance!"

If you don’t say anything else, just say that the Yuan family destroyed this one, and the Gu family can't get rid of the relationship!

With such grievances ahead, can the empress dowager care for the mismatch with Yun Fenghuang?

Anyway, Yun Fenghuang couldn't do it himself.

"If this palace is the mother empress dowager, the first thing after returning to the palace is to push Concubine Mu to replace the empress!"

Yun Fenghuang snorted, "After all, Concubine Mu is also the daughter of the Gu clan! She is a queen, and Gu Zhen is a queen. For the Gu clan, the difference is not that big! And Concubine Mu doesn't feel like the queen. I have been generous enough to her in the past years, but I am quite jealous of the Queen... It is simple to make her feel this way!"

And if the mother-in-law empress dowager does this, Yun Fenghuang will definitely be happy to see it happen, and will even contribute to it.

After all, no matter how dull Gu Zhen is, she has been in the palace for so many years, but she is not smart enough, mainly compared with people like Yuan Dynasty and Yun Fenghuang.

From the perspective of the entire Sixth House, it must be clearer than Concubine Mu.

If Gu Su is in the middle palace, then...

Not to mention the three princes and the king of Chu, the ten princes and the twelfth princes would only be more dangerous.

The point is that Gu Su may not be able to take good care of the tenth and twelfth princes.

After all, these two have been taken care of by Gu Zhen to this day, and whether they can be grown up, let alone the tenth prince’s biological mother, Pingshi, is Gu Zhen’s confidant and has no affection for Gu Su! The biological mother of the twelve princes, although sisters with Gu Su, they have more grievances!

Gu Su now has the sixteenth princes from the big Xu family who are still in their infancy. From her standpoint, it must be a more reliable idea to establish a sixteenth prince.

This is naturally an excellent opportunity for Xuanqing Palace.

Even Chunjia was relieved in the selection of the prince prince, what about the next position?

If Gu Zhen is scammed by her cousin at this moment, Chunjia will really continue to establish Gu's daughter without considering her?

Yun Fenghuang thought it might not be possible.

So after such calculations, it seems that the return of the Empress Dowager Yuan is not a bad thing...?

…After calming down and thinking about it, the imperial concubine thinks, let it go.

The main reason is that the Queen Mother is not stupid, and this lord is not that easy to use. After returning, she might use the relationship between Concubine Mu and the queen to cheat the queen, but it might not make her a noble concubine.

Anyway, to provoke Concubine Mu to tear the queen...

It's not that she can't do it herself.

Why bring a quasi-ancestor back?

Thinking of this, Yun Fenghuang added: "In short, Concubine Mu still has to provocate, and let her keep a low profile, don't let the queen know. No matter how indecisive the queen is, she will not tolerate such a thing. She will not tolerate it. If you accidentally leak out the wind, I must be sure that Zhonggong will not spare her again!"

At the end of the first month, a palace official from the side hall of Mianfu Palace reported that it was Taibi Shen who had caught the wind and wanted to ask for a few rare and precious medicinal materials.

Yun Fenghuang would naturally not refuse when he heard the news, and he went to visit him in person.

Of course, Mrs. Shen didn't let her into the sleeping hall, saying that she was afraid of getting sick.

The two parties chatted for a while through the door. Yun Fenghuang realized that his cousin and sister-in-law had almost done his best, and he waited to leave. Who knows that Mrs. Shen stopped her at this time and said, "Your concubine, concubine, two days in front of her. Remember some old things, and ask the old people around you to talk to your mother, can you?"

"You have Lao too." Yun Fenghuang was a little surprised, but quickly agreed.

After all, this was the first emperor's concubine who had come to life in Ji's hands. If he didn't wink, he would not be able to do so now, let alone give birth to an emperor.

Sure enough, the palace man of Shen Taibi accompanied Yun Fenghuang to the nearby warm pavilion. He cleared his throat and said, "Manny, the first emperor is here. Just like today, every summer, he will serve the Queen Mother. Go to Qishan Palace to escape the summer heat. But the first emperor did not like Qishan Palace very much. Because of this, he often found excuses to go out of the palace, and even preferred to stay in the court of the court for many years. At the beginning, he took the concubine Ji Sheng with him. Later, for some reason, the empress gradually lost peace, so... often took the concubine in the palace. At this time, the concubine Ji Sheng would go to Shanyuan Temple, and often even stay for a few days."

Yun Fenghuang had heard of this in bits and pieces.

The reason why Xiaozong didn't like Qishan Xinggong was not that he had any opinions on Xinggong, but simply that he did not like Ji's.

Because of the empress dowager, many of Ji's and Xiaozong's age-like children grew up in imperial palaces.

They went in and out of the palace unscrupulously, and even regarded the palace as most of their home. This made Xiaozong feel very disgusted, thinking that his emperor, in the royal palace, was not like a pure master.

So I'd rather live outside for a long time.

"At that time, there were a few concubines who were quite pleased with them. They were also confused, and in front of Emperor Xiaozong, they slandered the concubine Ji Sheng and said..."

The palace man hesitated, lowered his voice, and whispered, "Speaking of the common person Ji Sheng always goes to Shanyuan Temple, I am afraid that he has no plans, so I will persuade the first emperor to check it!"

"The first emperor does not actually doubt the character of Ji Sheng, the concubine, but the concubine mentioned the Ji family. The first emperor was about to deal with the Ji family... In short, after hearing this, he privately checked the traces of the commoner Ji Sheng, and, Shan Yuan Guan."

Yun Fenghuang groaned, and did not immediately ask Xiaozong what he found. Instead, he asked: "The first emperor does not doubt the commoner Ji Sheng... So, the relationship between the first emperor and the commoner Ji Sheng is actually okay?"

According to the description of this palace person, the empress was already at odds at the time. In this case, the emperor still believed in the empress's behavior. Obviously, he had a deep affection in the past.

Yun Fenghuang had also heard that the reason Ji did not trust Ji's daughter was that Ji Sheng once chose Xiaozong between his family and Xiaozong.

It is not surprising that Xiaozong trusted her so much.

However, in this case, how did the emperor and empress be at odds?
