Chapter 256: Caught in the Middle
No matter what she thought in her heart, Qian Rujun was still respectful when she saw Mrs. Shen, but she saluted Queen Dou before saluting Mrs. Shen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoWomen are far more terrible than men. At least she understands how terrible her psyche is, how grudges she holds.
For people whose abilities are much higher than themselves and who can hurt themselves, it is better not to cause trouble, and it is better not to cause misunderstanding among the other party. She dared to tease the emperor, but she definitely didn't dare to make Empress Dou unhappy.
Of course, Empress Dou and Mrs. Shen can lead the group in the harem, so naturally she is magical. Logically speaking, neither is suitable for offending.
But Qian Rujun was unfortunately placed between the two of them, and the emperor also left her next to the weaker Mrs. Shen, but all her previous investments were in Empress Dou, and for Mrs. Shen, her previous performance was unpretentious.
Now that Mrs. Shen has suddenly become her titular stepmother, Qian Rujun doesn't say how awkward she feels in her heart.
Although she had expected it, she inevitably had the idea of luck in her heart. Let a person who has murderous intentions in her heart be her stepmother, she is still a little unbearable. There are so many women in the harem, why did the emperor choose her? .
Qian Rujun's behavior is not a problem in terms of etiquette, and he worships his mother first when he sees his mother.
As the queen, Empress Dou is the emperor's main room, and it is no problem to meet her mother and worship Empress Dou first.
Empress Dou's face was still cold, but her expression was a little softer.
The emperor took in his daughter, this matter is a family matter, so the emperor once explained to Empress Dou.
As for how to convey the news of the harem, it is a matter of Queen Dou, and I don't know if the other concubines in the harem already know.
And Mrs. Shen, as Qian Rujun's stepmother, will of course be notified.
Qian Rujun did not leave immediately after meeting Queen Dou, but sat down beside Queen Dou and whispered many words to Queen Dou.
Mrs. Shen watched all this coldly, and her face became more and more ugly, but the emperor was here, and she still didn't dare to put her face too clearly.
You must know that if you want to get the emperor's favor, it is useless to put on a face, the emperor has worked very hard in the court and politics, and often has to deal with many difficult things. As a concubine, you must be considerate and patient enough to be able to get the emperor's favor for a long time.
Mrs. Shen can be pampered for a long time and endure for a long time, and it is in this respect that she does even better than Queen Dou. Otherwise, no beauty alone can occupy a man's eyes for a long time. Unless it's a woman who can't get it.
Now that she has become a concubine, she is already a woman that the emperor can get. This routine no longer works.
At present, it seems that Mrs. Shen's attitude towards the emperor is quite useful.
But even if she has a goddaughter, it still doesn't help her in the struggle for harem power. And this goddaughter, it seems, is not very helpful in her old age. Because Qian Rujun did not show her due filial piety. Seeing her courtship to Queen Dou, she was not on her side at all. As for the fact that she had wanted to kill Qian Rujun before, there was no need for Mrs. Shen to remember it at all.
For Mrs. Shen, what is it to kill a palace maid in the harem, or even a person who is not a palace maid? If the master of the harem is too weak, he will not be able to survive at all.
A fragile woman like Qian Rujun is estimated to die early and be overborn. Because she didn't have the determination to defeat other women, nor did she insist on the perseverance to defend her man. In her thoughts, since a man doesn't love her, it's better to let him go, what's the use?
But in the palace, women are inseparable, especially after becoming concubines. Unless the emperor dies, she has a second choice. If you have a child, you can attach yourself to the child and leave the palace. If you don't have children, maybe your life will be miserable. Those who can remarry the next emperor are considered lucky. The others either became palace maids, or accompanied the burial, or became monks, or kept the spirit for life.
It's all torture for a living woman.
At least Qian Rujun can't stand it.
is also because of this relationship, when Qian Rujun was looking at the women in the harem. For those women who do not have children, it is full of compassion. can be like Queen Dou for a lifetime, rich and old, how many people can there be in the harem?
But being a princess, especially a princess of a big man, is different. The lessons of the princess of the pavilion. Qian Rujun knows that being a princess of the Han Dynasty can actually be very chic. As long as you can grasp the emperor's favor. She can even influence the government.
In this way, there are two people in this world that she can't offend.
One is Emperor Liu Heng, and the other is Liu Qi, the son of Empress Dou. As for whether Wang Meiren's son can be the emperor, there is no shadow yet.
After all, Qian Rujun has disrupted the operation of the Han royal family. It is difficult to say whether the emperor, who is unconventional and becomes the crown prince, can still ascend to the throne.
And Qian Rujun, who has mastered a certain amount of medical ability, maybe, be able to make the crown princess Bo give birth to a child, after all, the relationship between the Bo family and her is still good. Regarding the matter of helping Concubine Bo, Qian Rujun should not refuse.
But if you want to have the opportunity to get close to Crown Princess Bo, the first relationship is to have a good relationship with Queen Dou, and get close to Prince Liu Qi, otherwise how can she have the opportunity to get close to Princess Bo!
Now becoming Mrs. Shen's righteous daughter is really unfavorable to what Qian Rujun wants to achieve.
Qian Rujun can feel it, in fact, she has always been right, Queen Dou showed goodwill. Empress Dou's attitude was still a little cold. Liu Wu, who was beside her, looked at Qian Rujun, and he didn't have the affection before. Not to mention Liu Qi, who already has a personal will.
Liu Xuan, the chief princess of the pavilion, did not follow her husband home for the New Year, but pulled her husband and newborn child to Shanglin Yuan to celebrate the New Year with the Liu royal family.
Her attitude is very clear, she has always followed her mother and followed her father.
Only her father and mother can give her wealth. As for the husband who did not have a high status, to her, it was nothing at all. I never looked at her as a husband. When she meets a beautiful man she likes, she will even invite (kidnap) home and spend a few days and nights.
At this time, she was by Queen Dou's side, and she spoke coldly to Qian Rujun from time to time. Is it really good for Qian Rujun to start doubting his decision to follow Queen Dou?
looked at Mrs. Shen, and knew from her cold eyes that she Qian Rujun had completely offended Mrs. Shen.
has been by Empress Dou's side for a long time, and Qian Rujun has to go to Mrs. Shen after all. Regarding the disputes involving the harem, Qian Rujun's inner thoughts were: "You guys are really enough, there is no end!"
