next day
The concubines came to Fengyang Palace early in the morning to pay their respects. What was unexpected today was that Yang Shihan, who had been in the palace for some time, actually came to Fengyang Palace today. This surprised all the concubines and couldn't help but talk about it.
"Why is Concubine Yang here? She hasn't paid greetings to the Queen after entering the palace!"
"There is a good show today. The Queen will definitely not let her off lightly."
Yang Shihan, who was dressed pure and noble in white luxurious palace attire, walked in, with her chin slightly raised, a charming smile on her lips, and arrogance and disdain in her eyes. She walked directly to the seat next to the queen and sat down.
Everyone looked dissatisfied and started talking: "Concubine Yang, you are so brave, you don't even show courtesy to the Queen."
"That is, no matter how favored you are, you are just a concubine. How can you not take the Queen in your eyes?"
"Queen, Concubine Yang, this is extremely disrespectful."
Mo Qiqi listened to the cries of the concubines and knew very well that these concubines actually wanted to encourage her to stand up and suppress Yang Shihan! Ever since Yang Shihan entered the palace, she has been favored by Jun Qianche, so they were jealous. If it were the previous queen, she would indeed give Yang Shihan a good lesson, but the current Mo Qiqi would not. On the contrary, she was very grateful to Yang Shihan. Because of her favor, Jun Qianche could not focus on her as the queen, and she could protect herself wisely.
After seeing enough excitement, Mo Qiqi said calmly: "Sisters, calm down, we are all our sisters, why should we hurt our harmony!"
All the concubines looked at each other, and were surprised by the queen's tolerance towards Yang Shihan. Zhao Concubine did not believe that the queen could really be so generous, and said: "Queen, Concubine Yang is arrogant because of her favor. When she sees the queen, she will not be polite and will not treat her like a queen." In my eyes, this kind of behavior is really disrespectful."
Yang Shihan gently shook her fan, covered her mouth with a smile and said: "Back to the Queen, it's not that I don't salute you, but the emperor has allowed me not to abide by the etiquette rules in the palace. I have been feeling uncomfortable in my knees for the past two days, so I don't It’s convenient to salute the Queen.”
Mo Qiqi looked at Yang Shihan, raised her eyebrows and smiled mischievously: "I understand, sister Yang must be tired when she goes to bed every night. It doesn't matter. When you come to this palace from now on, you don't need to be polite just like you do at your own home." . ”
"The Queen—" The other concubines were dissatisfied.
Mo Qiqi smiled and smoothed things over: "Sisters, please don't be too serious. Since the Emperor has given permission, we should support the Emperor's work. Let's do this! I also promised the sisters something today. In the future, all sisters will come to this palace. Here, if you don’t want to salute, you don’t have to. We are all sisters, so there is no need to be polite.”
Yang Shihan looked at Mo Qiqi in surprise, and said with a sarcastic smile: "The Queen has become a lot more reasonable since she accidentally fell from the observation tower last time. I heard from the palace people before that I still didn't believe it, but today I See, it's true." When she said these words, Yang Shihan kept looking at Mo Qiqi's expression to see if she was really not angry. The result really surprised her. Mo Qiqi's face really didn't look angry. If he showed the slightest hint of anger, Mo Qiqi from before would have been furious.
"Sister Yang, thank you for your praise. In the past, I was young and energetic, and I did some things that made my sisters sad. Now that I think about it, I feel really ashamed. I will definitely get along well with all the sisters in the future and strive to be a virtuous person." The queen pleases the emperor, and all my sisters respect me. Since we are all the emperor’s women, we must love each other. Only when the harem is harmonious can the emperor be free from worries. Only by focusing on government affairs can our country become more prosperous and powerful.”
Yang Shihan laughed dryly and said: "What the Empress said is really touching. I hope the Empress can really do what she said. Oops! The emperor was tossing for too long last night, and I am still very tired now! The Empress , I will go back to rest first, I have regained my energy, and I will sleep with you at night!" He stood up, glanced at everyone, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly sarcastic.
But Mo Qiqi still smiled gracefully: "In that case, sister Yang, please go back and rest quickly! Serving the emperor well is the most important thing."
Yang Shihan's smile froze, stood up and left.
"Queen, look at her, she is so annoying."
"Queen, Concubine Yang is so arrogant that she relies on favor. You must not indulge her."
"Yes, otherwise she will be even more arrogant. You, the Queen, are the master of the harem, how can you let her be so arrogant!"
After Yang Shihan left, the concubines began to quarrel again and refused to listen.
Mo Qiqi's ears were buzzing when she heard it. She plucked her ears and said in a good temper: "Okay, sisters, calm down and say what you have to say."
"Queen, if you treat this kind of person well, she will only think you are easy to bully."
"Empress, you must give Yang Guifei some color so that she can recognize her identity."
"Empress, you have the support of the Duke, why should you be afraid of her!"
Seeing that these women didn't stop, Mo Qiqi couldn't bear to listen anymore, so she yelled angrily: "Okay, stop arguing."
This roar was so intimidating that the noisy hall instantly fell silent. He looked at Mo Qiqi with a little fear in his heart.
Mo Qiqi glanced at everyone displeased and said coldly: "Do you really think that I can't see clearly what you are thinking? Since you were so angry, why didn't you just reason with Yang Shihan when she was here? Now? The person left, but the courage came.
You just want me to have a fight with Yang Shihan, and you are watching the show from the sidelines. Even if I do this and flatter your thoughts, what will the result be? Will the emperor go to your palace? If you have this time to gossip, you might as well think about how to gain the emperor's favor. What's the use of complaining to me? You can win Yang Shihan's favor. "These women have no ability at all. They only know how to be jealous and jealous, fearing that the world will not be in chaos.
One of the concubines said aggrievedly: "It's not that we don't want to please the emperor, but the emperor is too cold and we dare not get close."
Mo Qiqi sighed and said: "It's not that the emperor is cold, but the person he warms is not you. As long as you work hard and be the person in his heart, he will warm you."
Everyone looked at each other with sad expressions on their faces: "Queen, we also want to be the one in the Emperor's heart, but it is difficult for us to even see the Emperor. How can we try hard!"
"That's right! Even if we are lucky enough to meet the emperor, we don't know what the emperor likes, and we are afraid of making things worse."
Mo Qiqi turned her bright eyes and smiled gently: "It seems that all the sisters have the heart to serve the emperor."
"The sisters have finally entered the palace, so naturally they want to serve the emperor. If they can give birth to a son and a half daughters for the emperor, this life will be considered successful, but it's a pity-"
Mo Qiqi immediately comforted her: "Sisters, don't be depressed, this matter will be taken care of by me."
