Sen Mujun expressed his infinite shyness!
Wei Qing finally woke up.
Everyone breathed a long sigh of relief and were excited that Jingwei could wake up. But that beautiful face has an extremely subtle and shallow scar. You can't see it at first glance, but you can touch it if you look closely.
It is said that as soon as Empress Jingwei woke up, she asked someone to fetch a mirror, looked at herself in the mirror, cried loudly and passed out. Wait until you wake up. The emperor had been by his side for two full hours and had fined all the slaves in the Splendid Palace twenty pieces of fine. Such favor is astonishing.
But what's even more surprising is what's behind.
The emperor not only caused trouble for those minions, but also decreed that Concubine Mei be demoted two levels, from Concubine Mei to Concubine Mei. The difference of one word is a thousand miles. To treat him like this is already a thunderous method.
The old servants in the palace knew in their hearts that things were going to change in this palace. No one doubted this.
This is the first time that Concubine Mei has suffered such a defeat since she entered the palace. The harem is a cruel war with no sight of gunpowder. Even though Concubine Mei has a distinguished family, if she loses, she loses, and there is no chance to recover her losses.
Mei Fei was arrogant and domineering, and never knew how to advance or retreat. I don’t know how many women in the harem have been harmed. The emperor has been pretending not to know, and he is extremely fond of Concubine Mei. On the one hand, it is because of Concubine Mei’s beauty, and on the other hand, it is because of Concubine Mei’s prominent family background.
But now, for the sake of Empress Jingwei, the emperor was so angry that he became a beauty. Although he was still concerned about the power of Concubine Mei's family, such a move was enough to prove a lot.
Concubine Mei is just an old woman no matter how against the odds, while Jingwei is young and beautiful, the goddess of everyone. The two of them are very different in their attraction to men.
Everyone understands where they should stand.
Almost overnight, all the slaves were extremely enthusiastic about Jingwei. Even the royal meals were delivered to Jingwei’s palace first. Fruits and vegetables from all four seasons, which were originally difficult for Jingwei’s class to eat, were all It was sent to Jingwei's palace as if it was free of charge. Everyone is trying their best to please Jingwei.
Such a huge change made the entire Jinxiu Palace people raise their heads and chests high. No matter where they go, even if they are just a sweeper of the Jinxiu Palace, there is a special feeling when walking in the palace. The sense of glory was brought to them by their master, but it made them feel extremely glorious.
Wei Qing accepted all of this as a matter of course. Within a few days, his thin body was filled with various supplements.
Wei Qing sat in front of the dressing table, looking at her still pretty face in the mirror, with a smile blooming at the corner of her mouth. The scar on her left cheek was almost invisible. Wei Qing drew a red peony on that place. Not only did it not look out of place, it actually made her already stunning face even more delicate.
A maid looked at Wei Qing in the mirror and praised him in a flattering manner.
"Your Majesty is so beautiful. Not even Concubine Mei had such a charming appearance when she was young."
I thought she would make the empress happy, but I never expected that Wei Qing frowned, turned around, and looked majestically at the maid who was dressing her up.
"Kneel down and slap your mouth!"
The voice was faint, but it already possessed the majesty it deserved. When the maid heard this, she didn't expect that she was flattering her in the wrong place. She hurriedly knelt down, looked at Du Suxi with pleading eyes, and explained in a panic.
"Please forgive me, my Majesty. I didn't mean to do this. Please forgive me, My Majesty."
After saying that, the maid hurriedly kowtowed her head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Seeing the maid like this, Wei Qing sighed and waved his hand to signal the maid to get up. He looked at the maid with a straight face and said.
"Although you are a member of my palace, if you dare to talk nonsense and spread rumors to cause trouble, I will never let you go easily."
After hearing this, the maid nodded hurriedly and agreed. Wei Qing then turned around, his voice was as light as clear water.
"It's getting late, it's time to go to the queen to pay her respects."
"Yes, yes, your Majesty, this slave is changing clothes for your Majesty." The maidservant was extremely frightened and said hurriedly. Wei Qing nodded and closed his eyes in acquiescence.
No one knows that she seems to be the biggest victim in this matter, but in fact she is the biggest beneficiary.
When Du Suxi left that day, she realized something was wrong. She used the excuse that she was frightened to pay her respects that night.
The queen looked panicked, but in fact she had already prepared countermeasures. Jiao Mu once reminded her that Yang Xiao, who led the team to search the Jinxiu Palace that day, was Concubine Mei's nephew. Such an embarrassment must be related to her, and it must also be related to Concubine Mei. If Concubine Mei knew about her abnormality, Concubine Mei would definitely seize this point.
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take advantage of the situation.
Wei Qing thought she would not lose to anyone, but fortunately, she did it.
Sitting on the imperial concubine chair, Wei Qing looked respectfully at the queen who was sitting in front of him with a majestic look on her face, her voice was very soft.
"The Empress Jin An."
The Queen was born in a house of cabinet scholars. Although she was not as powerful as Concubine Mei's family, she was one of the women whom the Emperor admired most. Even Wei Qing once heard the emperor praise this point, there is absolutely no doubt about it.
Speaking of which, the Queen was also a very famous and talented woman in the Tiansheng Dynasty. Many nobles and grandsons came to her to ask for her hand in marriage, but the Queen insisted on marrying the Emperor, who was still a prince at the time. She also used all her connections to support the Emperor on his way to the throne. He also had his own opinions on political affairs. During his twenty-three years in office, he managed the harem in an orderly manner. Although the emperor didn't say anything, he remembered everything in his heart.
It's just that there is no man in the world who doesn't like the old, and who doesn't like the new and dislike the old.
No matter how good the queen is, she can't withstand the ravages of time. Fortunately, the Queen is a woman who sees clearly and knows that there is nothing she can do. She would not care at all, if she hadn't been bullied so badly by Concubine Mei these years. She would not join forces with Wei Qing to rectify Concubine Mei.
Holding a cup of good Yuqian Longjing. The queen raised her head and dismissed the maids on both sides. She didn't say anything, but just looked at Wei Qing steadily. Wei Qing naturally understood and dismissed his people, and then the queen slowly spoke.
"I didn't expect Empress Jingwei to be so scheming. She really has the most poisonous heart of a woman."
The queen's voice was calm, and there was no hint of happiness or anger. But her eyes were always fixed on Wei Qing. As long as Wei Qing had the slightest abnormal mood swing, it would fall in the queen's eyes.
Wei Qing looked at the queen and was indeed very calm. His words even became more humble.
"What the Queen taught me is that Jingwei has been taught a lesson, but if Jingwei had not been forced to that point by Sister Mei Fei, he would never have bothered the Queen to help. Although it sounds despicable, he was forced to do nothing. , please forgive me, the Queen."
Regarding his own face, Wei Qing naturally did not say that he had cut it himself. Instead, he kept silent, which made everyone think that Concubine Mei had evil intentions and wanted to destroy her face. Even the queen was kept in the dark about this matter. Except for her, everyone felt that Mei Fei was too cruel.
If not, Mei Fei's deep-rooted position would be difficult to shake.
Seeing Jingwei's humble attitude, the queen felt much better. He waved his hands.
"Concubine Mei did a little too much in this matter. But it can be regarded as a deserved punishment. After all, she entered the palace earlier than you. Even if you are dissatisfied, you should be more patient. Although you have been in the limelight recently, But if you follow Mei Fei's old path, you will be stepping into an abyss. You must know that although you and Mei Fei are sisters, in the final analysis, she is the only daughter in Mei Fei's family, so she is a little arrogant, which is natural. "
This was said politely, but the underlying meaning was to remind Jingwei not to be arrogant because of favors. When the time comes, he will be powerless and have no idea how he died.
Although the Queen was very interested in suppressing Concubine Mei, she was not stupid. Now that Concubine Mei was suppressed, no one in the harem could match the beauty of the woman in front of her. This woman is destined to fly up a branch and become a phoenix, but how high she can climb depends on her individual abilities.
However, thinking of the recent rumors circulating in the palace, the queen was still uneasy, and this time she was taking the opportunity to polish Jingwei.
I hope Jingwei will not become the next Mei Fei and make the same mistakes.
Wei Qing's eyes darkened after hearing this, and immediately returned to normal, smiling slightly and nodding in agreement. She understood very well.
The Queen has nothing to do with Concubine Mei, but will there be nothing that the Queen can do with a girl who has no power but only beauty? The Queen's heritage is no less than that of Concubine Mei. Coupled with the Queen's reputation as a virtuous person, if the two of them were to confront each other, she would most likely lose.
Jingwei didn't dare to take this risk.
The queen looked at Jingwei's charming face and stood up, seeming a little tired. Sighed.
"Well, you have been frightened recently. I have some fine clothes and some jewelry here. I am old and can't use them anymore.
, I’ll give it to you. It can be regarded as my tribute to the emperor. "
Wei Qing hurriedly knelt down. He spoke with earnest words.
"The queen is so considerate to me, how can I dare to accept something from the queen? The queen has broken my heart."
Since that night, Wei Qing's original angular personality has been polished like a rough stone, smooth and shiny, hiding his stubbornness in his heart.
It is said that every awakening comes with a price. That time, Wei Qing thought that he almost killed Du Suxi. Fortunately, Du Suxi was fine, which relieved her heart. However, she also understood that arrogance can kill people.
If Du Suxi saw Wei Qing's appearance at this time, he would definitely be amazed. Wei Qing's transformation was so rapid and complete. Such a woman is vaguely a bit older than Shang and a bit like Zhou Zhibaosi.
"Now that you have entered this palace, you are considered a member of the palace. The Ai family will not be stingy with everyone in the harem. What's more, if you count, you are also my sister, just a little thing. Just accept it, but I have said something ugly before. I am in charge of the harem, and rewards and punishments must be clear. If you think you have committed something, I will definitely punish you. When the time comes, please be considerate, sister."
After the queen said this, she actually left her seat and walked up to Jingwei. She looked at Jingwei's beautiful face and ran her fingers over the spots where peonies were painted and there were some shallow scars. He spoke in the voice of only two people.
"The Emperor is getting old, and so am I. In a few years, the world will be ruled by the princes. I think His Highness the Third is very good. What do you think?"
His Royal Highness He Lianheng is the biological son of the Queen.
Jingwei raised her head and stared at the queen's dignified face. She could see carefully that the shallow crow's feet had climbed to the corners of the queen's eyes.
This is hinting to her that good birds choose trees to roost. Even if Jingwei is pregnant with the prince, it will not pose any threat to them. The queen recognized this and brought her to the palace.
I have to say that the Queen is indeed a very wise person.
So what if Jingwei is favored now, he has no power and power. Even if he can give birth to a dragon, it will take many years. What's more, the emperor is already old. Whether he can be born and whether he can be born safely are two questions. The queen is not worried at all.
Wei Qing's heart skipped a beat, but he still managed to form a smile. He lowered his eyebrows slightly and responded with a smile.
"The Queen thinks it's good, and Jingwei thinks it's good too,"
After hearing this, the queen slowly smiled, stepped back, kept a few steps away from Wei Qing, and spoke with a slight smile.
"No wonder the emperor likes you so much. That little mouth is quite pleasing to the eye."
"Thank you for your compliment," Wei Qing responded gracefully. But he was secretly surprised in his heart. When I was young and frivolous, I thought I was unparalleled in beauty, but now that I think about it, it seems like it was just a joke.
The harem is really as Du Suxi said, a battlefield without smoke. But it is not inferior to the bloodshed of any battlefield, and even every move must be done with caution.
If Du Suxi saw Wei Qing like this now, he would be shocked. Wei Qing transformed so quickly that she was in a daze.
At the other end of the palace, in Yixia Palace, Concubine Mei was furiously smashing everything she saw.
The official kiln celadon produced in Jiangxi was smashed by her casually, and the jade tree carved from Hotan jade, which was rare in the mountains, was smashed into pieces by her. The emerald pearls were scattered everywhere by her, and everything around them was in a mess. Everything was unsightly.
The palace maids all stood aside cautiously, looking at Concubine Mei who was going crazy. No one dared to stop her, and no one dared to clean her.
"You useless things, what are you doing standing here? If you can't call Helian Kuang, what's the use of you?"
Concubine Mei looked at the maids and eunuchs who were trembling in front of her and dared not speak. She was furious and cursed bitterly.
"Third Highness, Third Highness, he said he has important matters to deal with. Please, please, please be patient and wait patiently."
A maid stood up and responded with a trembling body.
They have always seen Concubine Mei's arrogance. She didn't dare to rebel against Concubine Mei in the slightest.
"Bang." Another celadon tea cup was smashed down. The maid subconsciously dodged and avoided it, but she heard Concubine Mei's yelling.
"How dare you hide? Qiu Xin, catch her!"
"Yes." Qiu Xin nodded and was about to step forward immediately, but was stopped by a soft female voice.
"Sister Mei Fei, this place is really lively."
