Chapter 326: The Contest between the Empress and Concubine Su
Emperor Zongwen gave birth to many sons before, but most of them died early, the only one who survived was the eldest prince, the third prince and the eighth prince, Feng Jueran was the youngest prince, and the second and third who were born after were princesses, and now the two legitimate princes each suffered fifty boards, and the last one did not know whether he was alive or dead.
Emperor Zongwen's mind is unknown, in this case, there is a letter in the palace that has not been pregnant for a long time, and for a while, all parties are secretly speculating that if the jade concubine gives birth to a little prince, it will be a little difficult to say what will happen in the future, if it is not the matter of choosing one of the ten dozen thirteen princes, it will not change!
As soon as the news of Concubine Yu's pregnancy came out, she was sick in Cining Palace for a long time, and the Queen Mother, who had been lingering on the sickbed, stood up and passed on the emperor to the past, not knowing what he said, only that Emperor Zongwen came out of Cining Palace, and immediately released Concubine Yu from the cold palace and returned to the original Caiwei Palace.
The Caiwei Palace, which was immediately deserted, immediately resumed its liveliness, which was in stark contrast to the Tianfeng Palace of the queen who had become cold.
The emperor's reward came like flowing water, and the entire harem seemed to be excited in Caiwei Palace.
The jade concubine is pregnant, and the meaning in this is enough for those old ministers to have a good taste!
In the Tianfeng Palace
The queen lit three sticks of incense, respectfully in front of the Buddha, dressed in a plain dress, so that her face that no longer looked young was a little more kind and peaceful, through the smoke curling and dispersed, the queen's face could not see half of the impatience, but a little detached indifference.
"Queen Mother, Dingguo Mansion has sent a few Buddha treasures, Niangniang, do you see if you ......" Yan Miao, the palace maid holding a jade basin in her hand, walked in, and asked hesitantly because she disturbed the incense of the palace.
The queen's eyes turned and fell on the jade basin in her hand, which was padded with red velvet cloth, and there were three palm-sized Buddha figures in the red velvet, which were not too big, but the eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and at a glance they knew that the carving person was extraordinary, making such a size of Buddha statue lifelike, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, it was very pleasing.
In particular, one of the emerald green Buddha statues, between the eyebrows and eyes is as warm as water, only to find when you look carefully, the eyes are actually colored in a kind of ink-colored opal, flashing between the natural light, and the jade bottom is completely combined, like nature, let people know the extraordinary Buddha statue at a glance.
Such a Buddha statue is a real boutique, not a family with a very rich background, and it really can't be taken out.
"What did Dingguo Gong say?" the queen asked lightly.
"Grandpa Guo sent someone to say that this Buddha statue has been opened by the presiding abbot of Bao'en Temple according to Niangniang's instructions, and has been enshrined in front of the Buddha, if it is sent to Su Guifei's palace, it will inevitably make other Buddha statues lose color. Yan Miao learned the words of the person sent by the Dingguo Mansion.
Although I didn't understand what the queen meant, I respectfully followed the queen's meaning.
"Then send it to the palace of Concubine Su, and say that this is the intention of the palace, so that when she organizes women at all levels to pray for the queen mother, she will also make a filial piety for the palace, and the palace has thanked her in advance. The queen said lightly, her eyes fell on the Buddha statue, and her eyes flashed a little cold.
Leading women at all levels to pray for the queen mother, this is a blessing that only the queen enjoys, Su Guifei didn't even refuse, she happily took it, and I don't know if she has the life to enjoy that honor!
"Yes, what about the Queen Mother?" Yan Sha was about to go down with the basin, and suddenly asked as soon as she remembered it.
A trace of resentment flashed in the queen's eyes, the fifth princess's mistake in this matter was all because of the queen mother, thinking that her only daughter was going to be calculated by this old demon woman to make peace, and it was also to an immature prince and kiss, the peace on the queen's face could not be maintained.
If it weren't for the fact that some people in the Dingguo Mansion were towards the Queen Mother, no one would have revealed that the Fifth Princess had used people to burn down Bai Yihao's mansion, and would not have let the Fifth Princess be calculated immediately after miscalculation; if it weren't for the Queen Mother pretending to be sick in the palace, she would not have been punished by the emperor on the surface, and even the power in charge of the harem would have weakened.
Thinking of this, the queen's heart rushed up and down with anger.
Everyone is the daughter of the Dingguo Mansion, and she knows more or less about the Queen Mother's thoughts, but she didn't care in the past, Ning Wang Fengjue was really sent so far, and it was a problem to come back.
Therefore, she never took the Queen Mother to heart!
has been living in the deep palace, of course she knows Emperor Zongwen's attitude towards the Queen Mother, although she looks respectful on the surface, but in fact she doesn't pay much attention to it, fortunately, the Queen Mother is also very knowledgeable about affairs, and she has not pointed fingers in the harem, this harem has always been her queen in charge, the Queen Mother is not only her aunt, but also her mother-in-law, there is no power between the two people, and the relationship has always been very harmonious.
But now it's different, the eldest brother faintly revealed the information that King Ning was about to return, and then the queen mother became restless, and then this series of actions surrounded the queen, how could the queen not be hostile to the queen mother with the queen's temperament.
The two houses are really opposed.
"Did Dingguo Gong talk about King Ning?" the queen asked with a deep sigh.
She suspected that Feng Jue had really entered Beijing, but the eldest brother said that there was no such thing, if this was the case, why did the Queen Mother's Cining Palace move secretly, this time she even took care of the pregnancy of the Jade Concubine, and the Queen would not forget that it was the Jade Concubine who caused the fifth princess and the county lord of Anping to make trouble, not only losing face but also losing the emperor's favor.
If it weren't for such a scene before, the fifth princess would not have taken a risk, and then a series of things happened, she didn't have time to do anything to the jade concubine of the cold palace, and she couldn't imagine that this woman would come out by herself, how could she not make the queen grit her teeth with hatred.
Dingguo Gong said that there is still no information, so that Niangniang does not have to worry, if there is a letter, it will be passed into the palace. Yan Miao replied.
"Go down, if someone comes from the Dingguo Mansion, you will report it to the palace immediately. ”
"Yes, sis. Yan Miao retreated, and then walked to the door and stopped and said, "Niangniang, Concubine Wen asks to see you." ”
"No, just say that the palace is busy with worshipping the Buddha and has nothing to worry about. The Queen's cold voice came from within.
"Yes, the slave will tell her. ”
In the palace of Concubine Su
Looking at such a beautiful Buddha statue sent by the emperor, Su Guifei's bright face showed a little gloomy, staring at the Buddha statue in front of her, as if she wanted to see a few cracks and some flaws from above, but she had seen it before and after, this Buddha statue was a real treasure, more than one or two times better than the few she collected herself.
Placed together, people will only pay attention to the Buddha statues sent by the queen, and their own ones have become companions, which makes Su Guifei how to bear it, and finally has a chance to get ahead, and she has to be pressed under the queen, she can't bear this breath anymore.
"Someone. ”
"Yes, sis. "Someone has already responded smartly.
"Go, let the maiden family of this palace vigorously look for treasures Buddha statues, not treasures, this palace does not want, tell them, money is not a problem, only find better treasures than the queen, this palace is greatly rewarded." Su Guifei ordered angrily.
How could she lose to the Queen.
And also an empress who has been reprimanded by the emperor.
If this self-hosted prayer for the queen mother is excellent, the queen has promised herself that she will always help the queen manage the harem in the future, such a right was only available to the queen before, even if she is a noble concubine, she usually just watches.
Thinking that she gave birth to the emperor's first son, who looked good and had a good demeanor, Su Guifei felt that she was not weaker than the queen, the queen was only a position in the middle palace stronger than herself, and she really gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and the most likely person to inherit the throne in the future was of course her own son, if her son became the emperor, she would be the justifiable queen mother, and the queen's position should have been her own a long time ago.
Because of the birth of Feng Juexuan, Su Guifei is very casual to the queen in the palace on weekdays, she is the biological mother of the eldest prince, and the queen really can't do anything with her, so everyone in the harem knows that Su Guifei is very arrogant, and even the queen's face may not be given, or even if she does, she will stab her coldly.
At this time, you can have a unique opportunity to shine, where will there be some queens.
The queen is now going downhill, of course Su Guifei will not let the queen shine with herself, and this Buddha statue of hers must be more precious than the queen anyway.
Her maiden family is an upstart, upstart does not mean that there is no money, but there is a lack of deep roots in power, she is not afraid of spending money, as long as she can really press the queen.
"Yes, sis. The people who followed Su Guifei, of course, knew what Su Guifei meant, and hurriedly withdrew to find someone.
No matter what, you have to find a Buddha statue that is better than the queen's, and the mother will be happy.
By praying for the queen mother, the queen and Su Guifei in the palace are more energetic here.
There are also people fighting outside the palace.
Early in the morning, Mo Xueqiong came to Mo Xuetong's Qingwei Garden.
Mo Xue Tong got up and was combing her long hair in front of the dresser, Mo Lan combed her long hair with a jade comb, and the black hair was very beautiful.
"Third sister, it's too late. Mo Xueqiong walked in with a smile.
Since she beat Mo Xuemin and got married, Mo Huawen also released her, but specially told her not to go to people, although the matter between her and Sima Lingyun did not work out, but the reputation has always been bad, only wait for a long time, people forget it to reappear in front of everyone, and the outside only claims that the fourth lady of Mofu is sick.
"The fourth sister got up really early. Mo Xuetong smiled slightly through the mirror, she didn't think that this bitter sister had come to show her goodwill in the morning.
She hadn't forgotten the last time she was in trouble with Mo Xuemin!
Mo Xueqiong is not a good stubble, the last time the old lady ruined her name, she also had her figure behind it! I don't know what it was for today.
"The eldest sister is back today, let's go over to see the eldest sister early, I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know how the eldest sister is doing in the Zhenguo Mansion?" Mo Xueqiong had an innocent smile on her face, but her appearance was more calculating, and a bit of mocking light flashed between her eyes from time to time, it was hard to believe that this day was really her true reflection.
Want to meet Mo Xuemin?
Mo Xuetong sneered, Mo Xuemin's situation in the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion just came, I heard that there were bursts of laughter in Mo Xueqiong's courtyard, it was obvious that Mo Xueqiong had never really given up, and she was still thinking about the plan to marry to the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion.
"My father said that when the eldest sister-in-law came in, he would come and call us and let us go to my mother's place first. Mo Xueqiong smiled softly and said unhurriedly, Mo Xueqiong didn't know what she thought in her heart, but her daughter's house, who had not left the pavilion, wanted to go directly.
Not only did he lose his courtesy, but he also had less training.
"Yes, I just want to go to my mother's place with you, third sister, you better hurry up, my mother got up early in the morning. Seeing Mo Xuetong reminding herself to pay attention to the identity of her daughter's family, a trace of hatred flashed in Mo Xueqiong's eyes, but she immediately put on a smiling face again, turned quickly, and said politely and closely, as if she really came to wait for Mo Xuetong.
Mo Xueqiong: What tricks are she going to do today!
Mo Xuetong smiled and nodded, her eyes drooped, and fell on the handkerchief of ice silk in Mo Xueqiong's hand, the handkerchief was very beautiful, and there was a beautiful peony on the pure blue base.
"Fourth sister, this handkerchief is really good-looking. Mo Xue's lips curled into a soft smile.
"Oh, that's what my aunt specially asked me to bring. Mo Xueqiong's hand subconsciously retracted, covered the handkerchief under her sleeve, and explained with a smile flashing on her face.
Ice silk handkerchief, and it is this kind of base, this kind of color ice silk handkerchief, Mo Xuetong knows that there is only one place, and that is the palace!
I didn't expect that my sister-in-law's ability was not small, and she hooked up with the palace people before she left the house! The smile on her lips was cold and distant......
