His Majesty the Emperor worked conscientiously on the memorial for two days in the Hall of Qinzheng. He didn't even go back to the Hall of Zichen, and slept in the Hall of Qinzheng at night. When he returned to Zichen Palace in the evening of the next day, he found out from Jinli that he had been robbed by Shen Yuqing.
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor, his heart is like this—
"..."
And the expression is like this—
"==!"
You, Shen Yuqing, are so rich, how could you have the nerve to rob him, a loner!
The emperor ran to his private treasury distressedly, and took an inventory of his collection. Fortunately, his antique calligraphy and paintings are still there...
"The South Sea pearls that you left for the eldest princess as a dowry were all taken away by the imperial concubine." Jin Li reminded kindly.
emperor:"!!!"
He kept so much! They were all taken away! Shen Yuqing, why don't you grab it! You are the most suitable bandit!
On the surface, Jin Li expressed sympathy for His Majesty the Emperor, but her heart was filled with the joy of "the local tyrants have today".
Concubine Shen Gui is always deflated, this time it is finally the turn of His Majesty the Emperor to overturn.
"That's all." The emperor adjusted his mentality, it was nothing more than a pile of pearls, and he would collect them slowly.
So the matter was revealed.
But when the emperor went to eat with the queen the next day, he still couldn't help complaining. I thought that the empress, a good wife and loving mother, would join him in condemning the noble concubine who acted like a robber, but I didn't expect Empress Fu to...
"Pfft." She smiled.
There is no way to pass this day.
The Emperor: Life Is Nothing To Love.jpg
Now it's Hanqiu and Dongxiao's turn to express sympathy for the emperor. Their empress seems to have taken the wrong medicine recently, and she is especially concerned about Concubine Shen. So it is useless to speak ill of Concubine Shen Gui in front of the queen, the emperor might as well go to the queen mother to complain.
The emperor left Fengyi Palace tiredly, he should go back to deal with the government affairs.
Time flies by, and it will soon be June 27th.
Tomorrow is Longevity Day, when everyone went to pay their respects today, they didn't have any fighting spirit. Everyone is amiable, just waiting for the next day to shine at the Longevity Festival.
Instead of wasting energy fighting with each other here, it's better to go back and rehearse well, so that you can grab the emperor's attention at the family dinner at night.
However, Concubine Shen Gui did not prepare a show.
It's not because the imperial concubine can't perform, nor is it because the imperial concubine is lazy, it's simply because she doesn't want to perform for the emperor.
Well, she prepared a show for her daughter-in-law to watch at the Thousand Years Banquet the next day...
Fortunately, the emperor does not know the truth yet.
Although he will soon find out.
Concubine Shen took the time to get the jade kitten back, it was as big as a palm, and looked about the same size as her family's adults. The two cuties squatted together, they were so cute.
Concubine Shen Gui couldn't hold back, and hugged the two together into her arms.
Then got scratched by one of them.
"Find a brocade box and put this jade cat in." Concubine Shen Gui ordered, "Don't put it together with the pile of birthday presents, I will send it to the Empress myself."
Of course, this thing can't be given at the Thousand Years Banquet, after all, jade is not a particularly good jade, although the carver is not bad, but it can't catch the eyes of those women who are used to seeing good things. It was her intention to not be judged by those women, so she should crawl out of bed in the middle of the night to send her off.
The corner of Man Xing's mouth twitched, probably guessing how her mother-in-law was going to "give it off".
She nodded and went to find the brocade box.
"By the way, I heard that His Majesty has been staying at that Yu Ronghua's place for the past few days?" Shen Yuqing suddenly thought of it and called Man Xing to stop.
Man Xing turned around: "Yes, Yu Ronghua, originally Fang Guiren, the lady of the county guard's family outside Beijing."
This nobleman Fang has no sense of existence, but she has recently used some method to seduce the emperor's favor. She lives in the side hall of Shengxiao Palace, which is next to Jianjia Palace, but a bit far from Zichen Palace. Apart from her in Shengxiao Palace, there is only Yao Cairen who has not been favored all the year round. He was born as a court lady with a heart higher than the sky. He has been in the palace for several years.
As soon as Fang Guiren was favored, he was directly promoted from nobleman to Ronghua, and even got a title, the momentum was very strong. However, the emperor spoiled her for a few days, but didn't see her continue to advance, which made Yu Ronghua, who was very arrogant at first, restrained a little.
"It's not an important person, you don't have to worry about it." Man Chen came in from the outside, holding a plate of cut fruits, "Yu Ronghua is favored now but has not continued to advance. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future."
What's more, she offended many people when she first got favored.
Shen Yuqing nodded, she was just asking about Yu Ronghua's background. At first, she thought she was the daughter of a Beijing official, and wondered if the emperor wanted to promote her father, but now it seems that she was thinking too much. Probably just find someone to pamper and divert the attention of the women in the palace.
It doesn't make any sense to have a few high-ranking concubines fight each other all the time. The emperor likes to watch the excitement when he has nothing to do. Now he dotes on a low-ranking person with no background, and he dotes too much. The women in the palace are afraid that their livers will hurt from anger.
Tomorrow's Wanshou Festival, there will be a good show to watch.
"Before Yu Ronghua, who was favored?"
"It's Concubine Rong."
Concubine Rong has never been favored very much, but she has not fallen out of favor either. The emperor often pets her twice every few days, holds her up, then turns around and leaves, and pets other women even more. As a result, Concubine Rong often got angry, and coupled with the hot weather, she had seen the imperial physician several times recently, and all the medicines she prescribed were medicines to reduce her anger.
Everyone sympathized with Concubine Rong very much, but when it was time to ridicule, they still mocked. If Concubine Rong is trampled to death, their chances of climbing up will be even greater.
Concubine Shen Guifei thought for a while, and asked Man Chen to prepare: "I have nothing to do in this palace, so go to Yunxiang Palace to visit Concubine Rong."
The situation in the DPRK was changing. Su Taishi, who was still sick recently, was welcomed back to the court by the emperor, which showed that the emperor still valued the Su family. But he doesn't want to see Su Qiaoxin, so he treats Concubine Rong as if away from her. Now it's very contradictory to give the Su family face, and to slap Concubine Rong in the face in a hurry.
Shen Yuqing had nothing to do, so she decided to chat with Concubine Rong.
The emperor's waywardness made Concubine Rong's face down, and Shen Yuqing had to help him deal with the aftermath. By the way (this is the point), go and see Concubine Rong's jealous face.
Although you can't laugh at her face to face, you can laugh at her behind her back.
Concubine Shen Gui, who rarely took the initiative to visit others, actually went to Yunxiang Palace. For a while, the concubines in the palace couldn't understand the situation. Could it be that the imperial concubine wants to join hands with Concubine Rong
Impossible, who are the two high-ranking concubines joining forces to deal with? Yu Ronghua? That flattered her too much. Against the queen? The queen's position is too stable and it is difficult to dismount.
It seems that it would be more reliable to say that the imperial concubine is going to ridicule the concubine Rong.
Everyone immediately believed that the imperial concubine had bad intentions, so they gloated and waited to watch the show.
But I didn't expect that after the noble concubine entered Yunxiang Palace, she actually talked with Concubine Rong and Le Rongrong for a while, and then went back to the palace. The imperial concubine took the wrong medicine? No, it should be said that the imperial concubine forgot to take the gunpowder
"Is this the imperial concubine?" Han Qiu was very surprised after hearing Dong Xiao's gossip.
Empress Fu was not surprised, she was holding the same hand stove as adults, with ice cubes inside and a fluffy cover on the outside. Although it is summer, it is uncomfortable to touch the ice cubes directly. After the cover is separated, the temperature is just right and can be used to cool hands.
Holding this, Empress Fu felt that the summer in Huaijing was not so difficult.
"Yuqing is going to appease Concubine Rong for Jun Yan." Empress Fu's brows were full of tenderness, "Jun Yan is still so self-willed when he becomes the emperor. If he doesn't like Su Qiaoxin, he won't be kind to her. Obviously the other women in the harem are he I don't like it very much, but I pretend to be very similar, but when it comes to Su Qiaoxin, he can't pretend anymore."
Han Qiu suddenly realized.
His Majesty the emperor is indeed a good emperor. For the sake of the country, he is willing to suppress his anger and make false claims with those hypocritical women. But he is also human, and there are times when he doesn't want to pretend. Facing the low imitation double of his sweetheart, he really felt disgusted.
Su Qiaoxin deliberately imitated her sister's appearance to seduce the emperor, which was unacceptable to the emperor.
But it's almost autumn, the emperor wants to win over the Su family, after all Grand Master Su is a great Confucian and has a very good reputation among literati. If you win over the Su family, you will win over half of the scholars. This is something you have to do. But the Su family may not feel that he has lost face to Concubine Rong, but they are afraid that Concubine Rong will say something to her mother who came to the palace to visit her. Even if Mrs. Su can't influence Grand Master Su's thoughts, she can still make Su The son was dissatisfied with the emperor.
The young master of the Su family has a good reputation, even if he does something, it doesn't matter to the emperor, but it would be better to have less trouble.
But the emperor is only twenty years old now, so it's normal to have a youthful temperament. Empress Fu didn't accuse the emperor of doing this. When the emperor came to eat at night, she didn't mention it. She just asked the emperor to pay attention to his body and not stay up all night to deal with the memorial.
"Shen Yuqing went to Yunxiang Palace?" He asked suddenly after finishing his meal.
The Queen nodded: "Yes."
The emperor was silent for a while: "Forget it, don't bother with her about stealing my pearls."
"..." Do you dare to be more childish? How many days have passed, and I still miss it.
Empress Fu shook her head helplessly, and watched the naive Emperor leave Fengyi Palace.
Turning around, he told Xia Sui who was beside him: "Pick some things from my storeroom, send them to Concubine Concubine Rong and Concubine Rong, and say it was rewarded by His Majesty."
On the one hand is Concubine Rong, whom the emperor hates, and on the other is the noble concubine who has robbed the emperor's things and is hated. His Majesty the emperor is not willing to reward things at the moment, but it is best to reward them. It is not only to thank the noble concubine, but also to appease the concubine Rong. Otherwise, what the concubine said to Concubine Rong today would be greatly discounted.
But with the emperor's reward, Concubine Rong should believe that the emperor really "cares" about her, rather than Shen Yuqing making up nice words to coax her.
