A few days ago, Feiyue Palace.
Concubine Shu was lying comfortably on the concubine's couch under the eaves, opening her eyes from time to time to glance at the palace maid Yin Rui who was kneeling in the courtyard outside.
"Your Majesty, this girl is a tough one, and she refuses to give in until now." The eldest maid of Feiyue Palace said contemptuously while serving Concubine Shu to enjoy melon and fruit snacks, "Why don't you ask Mother Ran to give her some strength?" .”
Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes: "Go and do it."
"yes."
There is a nanny in Concubine Shu's Palace, called Nanny Ran, who is very good at some shady lynchings, such as stabbing people with needles. If it weren't for the veterans among them, they wouldn't even be able to see the needle's eye on the person being stabbed.
Not long after Yinrui was dragged down, she lost half her life.
"What? Have you figured it out yet?" Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows and asked.
Yinrui gritted her teeth, but remained silent.
Concubine Shu felt bored, frowned, and ordered: "Let Nanny Ran treat her well."
As he said, he looked at the sky, and it was time for dinner. She no longer cared about Yin Rui's reaction, and went into the house to eat.
After dinner, the Grand Palace Maid and Concubine Shu were whispering in the bedroom.
"Your Majesty, is this trick really feasible?" She was a little apprehensive, always feeling that her mother's plan might not work.
Concubine Shu glanced at her: "Is there anything feasible? If you don't try, how will you know? That woman Shen Yuqing has been domineering for long enough, and it's time for a fall."
Not long ago Concubine Shen Gui had just been involved in Mrs. Wan's poisoning incident, and even got rid of her daughter. If something happened again, His Majesty the Emperor would despise this woman.
Even if he doesn't dislike him, as long as there is a little suspicion in this man's heart, it will be easy to provoke him in the future.
The grand lady felt that it was not that easy.
Her mother-in-law told Yinrui with "good intentions" that Yu Xiurong's rejection by the emperor was the result of Concubine Shen's secret manipulation, but Yinrui bit her to death and refused to agree. No matter how Concubine Shu makes excuses and pulls evidence, Yinrui doesn't believe these nonsense, instead she suspects that Concubine Shu is actually dealing with Yu Xiurong behind her back.
Concubine Shu said that Yu Xiurong was rejected by the emperor because Concubine Shen hated that Yu Xiurong's title collided with a word in her name, which sounds like the same thing, but Yinrui doesn't think so. Speaking of bumping into each other, wouldn't Concubine Shu and Yu Xiurong's personalities clash even more
She would rather believe that it was Concubine Shu who suppressed Yu Xiurong with an excuse, and then planted the blame on Concubine Gui. She still remembers that when Concubine Mi was grounded last time, Concubine Shu hosted a banquet, and she even mentioned it the next day, reminding His Majesty of Concubine Mi who was grounded, so Concubine Mi was released .
If Concubine Mi and Concubine Shen joined forces, it would be better to say that Concubine Shu and Concubine Mi are convincing!
Concubine Shu wanted to use her words to fool Yu Yuxiu, but the Yinrui oil and salt did not enter, but it was not successful at all. Yinrui, who was tossed all night that night, finally passed out, and refused to let go at the end. Concubine Shu secretly said bad luck, and waved people to throw this girl back to Shengxiao Palace, don't die here .
Yinrui's plan didn't work out, so Concubine Shu had no choice but to look for another opportunity to trick Concubine Shen the next time, so she left the matter behind. But she didn't expect that her actions would be known by the second concubine.
this evening.
"Concubine Shu really said that?" Concubine Yuan Rong, who had already been promoted to Empress Concubine De, gave her hands a pause, and slowly removed the hairpin from her head.
"There is no mistake. The nail we buried in Feiyue Palace is very deep. It entered Feiyue Palace to serve three years ago. Concubine Shu will not find out." The maid of honor Hongxiu said with certainty.
Concubine De smiled lightly: "That's right, Concubine Shu really has some brains."
In this palace, Concubine De has a greater advantage than other newly promoted concubines, not only because of her high status, but also because her goal was set in the harem from the beginning. Most of the other noble ladies didn't think about whether to enter the palace before leaving the pavilion, but Concubine De had already made preparations for entering the palace.
At that time, the emperor hadn't succeeded to the throne, he was just a prince, and not all his brothers had died, so it was not certain who would win. Concubine Ke De believed that the emperor would be able to ascend the throne, so she forced her mother to bury nails in the palace continuously. Many of these people have already entered the palaces of the people, and many of them are even in high positions.
Even Bi Yan in Concubine Shen's palace is hers.
Last time, when Concubine Shen made the gift list for the Longevity Festival, Bi Yan overheard that the purse she sent out containing the news was for another nail under Concubine De's hands. However, Concubine De didn't stand up to do anything in person, but passed the news to Concubine Shu through the nails of Feiyue Palace.
Concubine Shu really lived up to her expectations, and ran to ridicule Shen Guifei. In the end, Concubine Shen was cheeky and didn't care about her reputation, but Concubine Shu lost a treasure, and gave Concubine Shen a Longevity Day gift for nothing.
However, no matter if it is Concubine Shu or Concubine Gui who makes a fool of herself, Concubine De is happy to see it succeed.
This time, Concubine De still knew what Concubine Shu did during the day by relying on the nail from Feiyue Palace.
She listened carefully to all Concubine Shu's words and deeds, and nodded. This statement is not bad, and it is not a problem to deceive Yu Xiurong. Yu Xiurong is the daughter of a prefect outside the capital, she has never seen much of the world, so she doesn't understand the relationship between the former court and the rear palace.
Concubine De simply ordered people to pass on Concubine Shu's statement to Yu Xiurong's ears, so that Yu Xiurong must believe it. Anyway, it was Concubine Shu who started this matter, and it had nothing to do with her. Even if she was found out in the end, Concubine De was clean.
I believe that if Concubine Shu found out that half of the plan she thought had died was successful, she would definitely continue to complete the remaining half. At that time, it really has nothing to do with her.
The facts were exactly as Concubine De had expected.
Concubine De took a fancy to Yao Guiren who was next to Yu Xiurong. Yao Guiren was born as a court lady and was not favored, but her preference was higher than the sky. Once given the chance, she will frantically grab and climb.
In order to climb up the ladder before, she flattered Yu Xiurong, but now there is a face-born little maid who claims to be under the concubine Shu who asks her to say a few words, and promises to give her a hand as long as the matter is successful, so that she can try it too. The taste of being a concubine. Yao Guiren didn't hesitate too much, and immediately agreed.
It's just a few words, and it's nothing much, not to mention that when she said, she added "I guess" and the like, it was just ambiguous words, and it was hard to grasp. No matter how you calculate it, she will earn money for taking this job. Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, the maid has already given her some money, saying it is a "deposit".
What's more, she went to inquire later, and found that the little maid was really from Feiyue Palace.
Soon, Yao Gui's career was completed. The little maid naturally reported the matter to a second-class maid next to Concubine Shu, who then told Concubine Shu about the matter, Concubine Shu was very pleasantly surprised.
"Really?" She didn't expect that she had already planned to give up, and this second-class court lady who was quite favored on weekdays actually managed to get it done!
The second-class court lady gave orders behind Concubine Shu's back. She found a young maid from Feiyue Palace to contact Yao Guiren, and asked Yao Guiren to come forward to lobby. Originally, I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to be successful, so I took it to Concubine Shu non-stop to ask for credit.
Concubine Shu was very satisfied, and rewarded her with many things: "You still have a brilliant mind."
The maid accepted the reward with a smile, and turned around to give some money to another second-class maid.
"Thank you for the advice you gave me." She suppressed the excitement in her heart, "My good sister, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be appreciated by the empress right now. It's just that I forgot to mention something to the empress, it's your advice. I did this, sister, you don't mind, do you?"
"I don't mind, I don't mind, as long as I have money!" The second-class maid waved her hand and said indifferently. While talking, she took those silver coins and looked them over and over again, and even took a bite, quite like a country woman who had never seen silver and took a bite to test the authenticity.
A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the maid at the front when she saw this, and it was as she expected, just such a stupid woman who loves money like her life, she just gave it away with some money, and she didn't care about her swallowing the reward alone and being in front of the empress. The thing about showing your face.
"Then sister, go ahead and rest. I'll go and see if the food is ready in the small kitchen. If you have more, I will quietly give you a copy later." She said with a smile on her face. idea.
The other party's eyes lit up: "I don't really care about food or anything, just give me some money, sister."
"..."
After seeing off the proud second-class maid, the woman who looked like a money fan just now immediately put away her appearance, sneered, and turned to send news to Concubine De.
Although Concubine De's mind is not very good, she can't hold back the strength of her mother, Mrs. Su's staff. Although Concubine Shu is smart, she has a lot of idiots under her hands.
But no matter what, the strategy went on smoothly. Concubine Shu learned that the aborted first ring had succeeded, so she immediately asked people to clothe the second ring with a smile on her face.
Yu Xiurong is not miserable enough now, when she is unlucky again, this woman will lose her mind and rush over to trouble Concubine Shen directly. Just based on the way she grabbed the doctor girl and scolded her before, she knew that this crazy woman could do anything.
Concubine Shu just wanted to wait for Yu Xiurong to go crazy, and then push aside, turning the small posture that could not hurt Concubine Shen into a big posture. It would be best if Yu Xiurong could injure Concubine Shen's face. At that time, she would do something about the wound medicine or other places to keep the small wounds on Concubine Shen's face from getting worse.
She wants to see if His Majesty the Emperor can pamper a faceless girl.
Concubine Shen didn't know that a conspiracy against her had already begun, but His Majesty the Emperor knew about it. After all, the hidden guards around Concubine Shu are not vegetarians either. When Concubine Shu cleaned up Yinrui before, and when she arranged the second ring later, they were not in the palace.
Based on the principle that everyone is a grasshopper on the same rope—mainly because he is afraid of offending the female robber—His Majesty the Emperor thought twice, and decided to let Shen Guifei know the whole thing.
After listening, Shen Guifei had no idea.
"A group of grasshoppers after autumn will not be able to jump for long." The imperial concubine said so.
Qingxi was playing with the cat when she heard this and blinked.
Is there any difference between these grasshoppers? Why does the concubine mother call others grasshoppers, but also herself and her father are also grasshoppers
This problem is too complicated, and Miss Qingxi can't solve it for the time being. She buried her doubts in her heart, and planned to go back and ask her mother.
"Qingxi." Concubine Shen Gui asked someone to bring a basin of water to wash the princess's hands, "Qingxi? Come wash your hands, Qingfeng brought you your favorite sugar cake."
Qingxi quickly regained her senses, ran over to wash her hands, and even tried to wash her hands. As a result, I almost got my paw scratched, so I had to give up.
The adult flicked his paw in dissatisfaction, and became angry when he found that the water on it could not be shaken clean. Pat on Qingxi's body, using her clothes made of good material to absorb water for herself.
Qingxi was not angry either, and let it play tricks with a smile.
While eating the sweet cakes, the mother concubine carried the adult over to smooth the hair, and asked tentatively, "Qingxi, do you want to live with the empress mother?"
Mrs. Wan's side has already cleaned up, so don't worry about her messing up again. And Qingxi can finally go to Fengyi Palace to be a concubine without any worries, that's why Shen Yuqing asked this question.
But Qingxi didn't know this, she paused when she heard the words, and asked pitifully: "Mother Concubine, do you want Qingxi?"
"Of course not." Concubine Shen rubbed her head, "Fengyi Palace is big and has an outer garden, don't you like it very much?"
"But I like Concubine Mu better!" Qingxi frowned delicately.
Concubine Shen Gui decided to explain the key points to her daughter. Although Qingxi is only five years old, she should still be able to understand some things. The children in the palace are precocious and much smarter than ordinary people.
"Qingxi, what do you think is the difference between the mother concubine and the mother concubine? What is the difference between the mother concubine and the mother concubine, and the children born to other concubine mothers?"
Little Qingxi has already realized that different mothers and concubines have different status in the palace for their children. These Mrs. Wan also told her that although she didn't seem to take it to heart, she actually remembered it long ago.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace are the most powerful.
In the past, Qingxi was the wife's daughter. Although she was the eldest princess and the only child in the palace, she didn't receive much preferential treatment. When she arrived in the imperial concubine's palace, she became a half-legal daughter and was favored by the emperor, and she suddenly became different. Everywhere she went, there were people fawning over her, and this was the happiest time of her life.
But she knew that the most respected person was actually the queen's child.
The concubine mother wanted her to go to the queen mother's place for her own good. In this way, she became the most honorable eldest princess and the only princess. No one in this palace would dare to bully her again. As long as the mother and father love her, no one in the palace will dare to bully her.
Concubine Shen was not in a hurry, she asked the little girl to think about whether to stay in Jianjia Palace or go to Fengyi Palace to live a good life.
After a while, Qingxi shook her head firmly: "Concubine Mu is also very good here, and no one dares to bully Qingxi."
Just like for an ordinary person, there is not much difference between being a multi-millionaire or a billionaire. They can spend so much money without worrying about food and clothing for a lifetime. If they want to change the life they are used to and leave their loved ones to become a billionaire, then it is actually quite good to keep it as a multi-millionaire. it is good.
For Qingxi, she thinks being the daughter of a noble concubine is also very good. She likes the mother concubine, and also likes the mother queen. But the concubine mother will love her very much, but the concubine mother will not let her play like crazy.
After all, Fu Qiushui is a person who was brought up by everyone's ladies. She thinks it's better for girls to learn some things, such as female celebrities. But Qingxi doesn't really want to learn, she just wants to play at her age.
You can play with the concubine mother every day, but the concubine mother will not indulge her. When she goes to Fengyi Palace, she must spend an hour every day learning what these girls learn at home.
After Shen Guifei heard her reason, she couldn't laugh or cry.
"It's okay, just learn to play as a hobby. If you really don't like it, then the concubine mother will help you find a way." Concubine Shen nodded her little head, "But you must go to Fengyi Palace. The status of the eldest princess is very different, be good, don't be self-willed. Just remember me in your heart, and the concubine mother will visit you every day."
She thought in her heart that when her daughter went to Fengyi Palace, she could use the excuse of missing her daughter and stay in Fengyi Palace every day.
Perfect.
Qingxi didn't know what her mother and concubine were planning, but she obediently agreed.
Everything else is an excuse, she is just a little bit reluctant to part with her mother and concubine. But the concubine mother said that she would accompany her every day, so it shouldn't matter if she goes to Fengyi Palace.
Thus, the issue of whether or not to stay with the eldest princess was solved in this way.
That night, Concubine Shen took the initiative to invite His Majesty to come to Jianjia Palace for a meal, and even allowed him to stay for one night—of course, she drove him to the next room. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor is used to it and doesn't care about it. Early the next morning, he accompanied Concubine Shen and his daughter to Fengyi Palace.
"The emperor is here—Ming Guifei is here—Princess Qingxi is here—"
The women who were sitting and chatting in the room paused, put down their tea cups, and got up to salute. He wondered in his heart why His Majesty didn't go to deal with the government affairs today, but came to Fengyi Palace instead.
But His Majesty the Emperor doesn't have to go to court today, he is lazy and wants to go to the Imperial Study Room later, and no one can say anything, but he actually came to Fengyi Palace with Concubine Shen, which is very annoying. The whole palace has this kind of treatment, and the imperial concubine is the first one, and the more everyone thinks about it, the more jealous they become.
I saw Concubine Ming coming side by side with the emperor. On weekdays, other concubines and concubines walking hand in hand with the emperor would be a little behind and dare not walk side by side. Only the concubine and empress have this privilege. Just such a small detail made everyone's eyes even redder.
Qingxi was still standing between the two, each holding a small hand, like a family of three.
The concubines silently covered their chests, feeling pain in their hearts.
Concubine Shen Gui followed the emperor and enjoyed the treatment of everyone bowing down, she was in a very good mood. Princess Qingxi also pretended to be a tiger, and raised her small chin to accept the kneeling of the bad women.
The mother and daughter were carved out of the same mold, and the corners of the empress's eyes twitched when she saw it. She planned in her heart to get Qingxi back as soon as possible, but don't develop Shen Yuqing's character, she won't be able to recruit a son-in-law in the future.
His Majesty the Emperor let go of his daughter's hand, and stepped forward to help his elder sister who hadn't completely knelt down. As for the other concubines, let them kneel with peace of mind. It wasn't until he was seated with the empress and imperial concubine that he remembered to call someone to get up.
The concubines dared not speak out, they secretly remembered Concubine Shen Gui in their hearts.
Concubines from the second rank and above can only accept curtsy from other concubines, usually when these women see Concubine Shen, they would bend their knees at 60 degrees and maintain their posture until Concubine Shen shouted flattened. This is enough to torture people, but today they actually have to kneel down to Concubine Shen, which makes everyone very unacceptable.
One must know that concubines only need to bow down to the empress and queen mother, not even their parents, let alone kneel down to a concubine Shen Gui
Having suffered a great loss, they wished they could take a bite out of Shen Yuqing right now.
Concubine Shen Gui has a thick skin, ignoring their sharp eyes.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't come here to chat, he directly explained the purpose of his visit: "I want the queen to raise Qingxi, so Qingxi will be raised by the queen's side in the future."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.
The emperor actually came to change the princess's mother? !
They subconsciously looked at Concubine Shen Gui, but saw that the other party didn't express anything, and they didn't seem to be angry at all.
It's really well-dressed. The concubines scoffed secretly.
At first, everyone thought that Concubine Shen would be able to raise Qingxi until she was married, but the emperor suddenly asked someone to give her to the empress. Didn't Concubine Shen be raised for nothing before? And Qingxi is so favored, this still lacks a sharp weapon to invite favors!
If this matter was left on them, they would have been mad with anger.
At this moment, everyone began to sympathize with Concubine Shen Gui, and felt a little gloating in their hearts. Don't care how much Concubine Shen is pretending not to care now, she must be very angry inside, she really deserves it.
Concubine Shen Gui, who was in the eye of the storm, took a sip of tea contentedly, feeling happy in her heart, thinking about whether it would be feasible to use an excuse to stay with her daughter in Fengyi Palace.
Before everyone could say anything, His Majesty the Emperor continued to order the Empress: "Zitong has to educate the princess and handle palace affairs. It is very hard work. It is better to divide half of the Liushang Bureau into the jurisdiction of Ming Guifei, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs can also buy it. Leave it to Concubine Ming to take charge."
Ga? ! The concubines, who had laughed halfway in their hearts just now, suddenly got stuck in their throats, unable to get up or down, and almost rolled their eyes from choking.
Giving up a princess in exchange for half of the palace power, how can this be a disadvantage for Concubine Shen Gui? Shen Guifei clearly took advantage of it!
Immediately, jealous eyes shot over again, trying to stab Shen Yuqing into a sieve.
The author has something to say: Today my aunt is here, I feel uncomfortable QvQ, so the update is a bit late...
Emperor: Managing the palace affairs is too tiring, so leave it to Shen Yuqing, so she won't have time to mess with Huang Jie
Concubine: Great! Another excuse to stay in Fengyi Palace! I don't know how to deal with palace affairs, sister Qiushui taught me!
Queen: Okay =w=
emperor:... ...
