The emperor was stunned and looked at Concubine Yan: "What do you mean?"
Imperial Concubine Yan told the story again, then looked at the emperor and said, "I felt that I had ruined Sister Chen Fei's business, so I asked her to beat me to atone for my sin. And if you punish Sister Chen Fei like this, the Empress Dowager will be angry, and she will dislike me even more."
More? The emperor suddenly came to his senses: "Are you saying that the Queen Mother doesn't like you?"
Imperial Concubine Yan shook her head: "Isn't this normal? Since I entered the palace, the Empress has been locked up and has let the Empress Dowager manage the palace affairs. Is it possible that the Empress Dowager still likes me? I will definitely restrain myself and not be greedy in the future. I will produce something in my palace."
When the emperor heard the latter sentence, he was instantly at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "It's up to you, as long as you don't suffer any loss. Well, I'm very busy, I'll come to accompany you in the evening."
When I looked up, I saw Jia Jia hadn't left yet: "Why haven't you left yet?"
Jia Jia bowed to the emperor and said, "I will take my leave."
After saying that, he ran away like the wind. In fact, Jia Jia stayed because she wanted to clear her master's name in front of the emperor. The master was so restrained this time, but he was beaten.
But I didn't expect that Concubine Yan would actually speak out. She quickly returned to Xinglin Palace and told Concubine Chen everything Concubine Yan had done. Concubine Chen frowned and said, "I know. Send a message to the Queen Mother and ask me to go to her palace to reflect on it."
Jia Jia's mouth twitched, "Are you going to reflect on this?" She understood what the master meant, and turned around to arrange this matter.
The news that Concubine Chen had gone to cause trouble for Concubine Yan and was confined by the Emperor spread everywhere in an instant, and the entire harem knew about it. Concubine Ya couldn't help but laugh, but she still had to be humble and didn't dare to provoke the person next door.
After the news was sent to the Queen, she originally did not want to pay attention to it. However, thinking that Concubine Chen was, after all, the Queen Mother's niece, and had behaved very well recently, she still spoke up and sent someone to Xinglin Palace.
Just when everyone in the harem was ready to laugh at the Xinglin Palace, the Queen's order came: "The Queen asks the Concubine Chen to go to Kunning Palace. Concubine Chen, please go."
Concubine Chen came out with a smile on her face. She had packed her things and was going to move to Kunning Palace to live for a while. "Okay, let's go."
The one who came to deliver the decree was Si Xia, one of the four female officials who followed the queen first. After Si Yin died to protect the queen, Si Xia took over and brought Concubine Chen to Kunning Palace.
"Your Majesty, the Concubine Chen has arrived."
Concubine Chen looked at the Queen with a smile: "Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen. It's been a long time since we last met. Is Her Majesty okay?"
The Queen looked at Concubine Chen and shook her head helplessly: "You have been punished by the Emperor, why do you look so happy?"
The concubine looked at the queen with a smile: "Because I can come and accompany you. Those new women are not interesting. There is only one person who needs your attention."
The Queen looked at Concubine Chen with some surprise: "Who is it that could earn you such a high evaluation? Tell me about it."
Concubine Chen did not beat around the bush and spoke directly: "Of course it is that Imperial Concubine Yan. Look how capable she is. She has an innocent face and everyone believes her. She is an Imperial Concubine. How could she not know about the news of giving names to people? After changing the name, she still looks innocent."
The queen frowned: "Have you ever thought that maybe she is just so naive? She doesn't fight or compete, she just likes to eat. Maybe you have misunderstood her."
Concubine Chen was surprised: "Empress, you're not right, are you? You didn't quarrel with the emperor because of her? Is she so powerful? Even you are confused, my God."
The Queen looked at Concubine Chen's expression and thought that what she said might be true. After all, how could a girl from a big family be so pure and kind
The Concubine Chen was still talking to herself: "Besides, although the words she said to the Emperor were short, every word was hinting that you didn't understand the general situation. You stayed indoors and let the Queen Mother take charge and make the Queen Mother suffer. It doesn't mean that you are ignorant..."
He recounted all the things Imperial Concubine Yan had said, and then looked at the Queen: "My Queen, I'm not kidding. I think Imperial Concubine Yan is really not a simple person."
The Queen narrowed her eyes. If all this was really planned by Concubine Yan, then how difficult would this woman be to deal with? "It seems like we have to be on guard."
Regardless of whether she was pretending or not, the Queen felt that she should be prepared for her child. If she didn't need to say it, she would be able to protect herself if something happened. Thinking of this, the Emperor nodded to Concubine Chen: "You are right."
The concubine was instantly satisfied: "You see, these people's behavior can't stand up to promotion. Just wait, the emperor will come to you soon if he knows you called me here. Your Majesty, you can't send me away. I will stay with you for a while."
"I don't think the queen will be in the palace for long. When the King and Princess Bingjian come back, they will definitely need a place to stay. We can't let those little bitches get away with it!"
The Queen looked at the indignant Concubine Chen and laughed: "Do you know why I want to avoid this period of time?"
The Concubine Chen was stunned. Yes, the Queen’s ability was that she was not afraid of anyone. “Why?”
The queen touched her belly and said, "I am pregnant. I am two and a half months pregnant now. I need to wait another half month. It will be just right to announce it during the Chinese New Year."
The Concubine Chen blinked her eyes, her face full of joy: "Your Highness is pregnant again, so I won't bother you here anymore. I'd better go out and fight those little bitches. Let them be wiped out before they even see you."
This fighting spirit is really amazing. The queen was about to say something when Si Xia walked in and looked at the queen: "Your Majesty, the emperor is here, just outside the door. Would you like to see the emperor?"
Si Xia saw that the emperor hadn't seen the queen for a long time, so Si Xia thought that the queen might also want to see the emperor, so she came to ask.
The queen frowned. She had finally focused all the attention of the harem on Concubine Yan. Now, wasn't she pulling her attention back? This was not a good thing. The queen thought for a moment before speaking, "No."
Si Xia nodded, and went out to tell the emperor: "Your Majesty, please go back. The queen will not see you."
The emperor looked at the gate of Kunning Palace and really didn't let anyone in. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and then looked at Si Xia: "Since you don't want to see me, then forget it. Remember to ask the queen and Consort Chen to go back and continue the house arrest."
Si Xia's mouth twitched. It seemed that the Concubine Chen's attempt to get the Queen to lift the ban was not going to work. After turning back and telling the Emperor what he had said, as expected, he saw that Concubine Chen's face had turned grim.
Ah! I am so angry. Concubine Chen was furious: "He is picking a fight with me."
The queen laughed and said, "Okay, don't be angry. You've caused a lot of trouble these past two days. The three newcomers have been bullied by you. But I can't lift the house arrest, but someone can."
Chen Fei also understood instantly. That's right, the Queen can't come over to disturb her, but there are other people who can. Chen Fei looked at the Queen and said, "Then I'll leave first."
The Queen shook her head: "No, if you leave now, you will be put back under house arrest. Si Xia, go to the Queen Mother."
Si Xia nodded, and left quickly. Soon Si Xia came back and looked at Chen Fei: "Your Majesty can go now."
Concubine Chen looked at the Queen with a smile: "Then, Queen, I will leave first. I will come to accompany you when I have time."
After she finished speaking, Concubine Chen left Kunning Palace. When she reached the door, she saw Aunt Zhang, who was beside the Empress Dowager, waiting at the door: "Your Majesty, please follow me."
Concubine Chen followed Aunt Zhang to see the Queen Mother. As soon as she saw the Queen Mother, Concubine Chen began to feel aggrieved. This aunt really loved her, and Concubine Chen couldn't help but show it in front of the Queen Mother.
"Aunt, the emperor slapped me. It was a slap in the face! I was obviously very well behaved this time."
No one could have guessed the empress dowager's control over the harem. The empress dowager knew about everything that happened in Concubine Yan's palace as soon as it happened.
It was because of this slap that the Queen Mother was dissatisfied. She looked at the Concubine Chen and said, "I know. This matter is not your fault. I know everything. I will naturally make the decision for you. Don't worry."
The Queen Mother looked at the eunuch beside her and said, "Go and call the Emperor. Tell him that I have something to ask him."
Eunuch Quan walked very quickly towards the Emperor's Qinzheng Palace. When he arrived at the Qinzheng Palace, the Emperor was handling official business, but he didn't see the Empress, and he felt a little uncomfortable. When he heard that Eunuch Quan was coming, his right eye twitched a few times.
This is because he overuses his eyes. The emperor rubbed his eyelids and said, "Let someone in."
After Eunuch Quan came in, he saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. The Empress Dowager invites you to come over."
The emperor understood instantly that the Concubine Chen had sent reinforcements to the Empress Dowager. His face turned pale, but he had to go because the Empress Dowager had summoned him.
When I arrived at the Cining Palace, I heard the aggrieved voice of Concubine Chen: "Aunt, you have to make the decision for me. I just went to ask, and the emperor beat me."
The emperor felt that his eyebrows were beating and it was a bit difficult to deal with. When he walked in, he saw the concubine glaring at him: "Son pays respects to mother."
The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "Do you still have me, your mother, in your eyes? I know you don't like my people, but can't you save some face for my sake? Why do you bully the Concubine Chen so much?"
Yes, the Queen Mother has confirmed this matter. He was the one who bullied the Concubine Chen: "No, mother, please listen to your son's explanation."
The Queen Mother nodded: "Well, then, explain."
