Chapter 20: Shangguan Yelin seizes power
"What's the matter?" Shangguan Ye Lin slowly walked out of the room wearing a light green silk shirt, her eyebrows were slender, and her appearance was very beautiful, but her eyes were three points indifferent and three points cold and arrogant.
Ouyang Xuanyue took a cup of tea on the table, took the sliding cover with her slender fingers and gently stopped the tea aside, took a sip, and replied lightly: "You have been in the palace for a few days, it's time to say hello to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother." ”
Shangguan Ye Linxiu's eyebrows frowned slightly, isn't the emperor's mother the queen mother? Trying to search the memory in my mind, there is nothing about the royal family, it seems that except for that palace banquet, 'Shangguan Yelin' has never been to the palace, and at that palace banquet, 'Shangguan Yelin' didn't even dare to raise his head, so naturally he couldn't see anything.
While Shangguan Ye Lin was pondering, Ouyang Xuanyue suddenly spoke, "This matter, the situation is complicated, you will understand it when you go." Ouyang Xuanyue sank her eyelids, hiding a trace of determination in her eyes, and the grief that had been calm in her eyes.
The eunuch guarding the gate outside the gate of Jinghai Palace saw the emperor and the uncanonized queen arriving together, and didn't know what to call the uncanonized queen, gritted his teeth, ignored the existence of Shangguan Ye Lin, and shouted: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
Shangguan Ye Lin didn't care, this was as she wished, after all, she had not been officially canonized, but this eunuch was treated as if she did not exist, which she couldn't bear, it seemed that the master of Jinghai Palace didn't treat her as an uncanonized queen very much, if she had to get the permission of the master of Jinghai Palace, how could a little eunuch dare to ignore her, she should give the master of Jinghai Palace a good gift!
"Erchen has seen the queen mother and the queen mother." Ouyang Xuanyue bent down slightly, and without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, she walked to the side and sat down on her own, not taking this Jinghai Palace master in her eyes at all.
"The courtiers have seen the two queen mothers, and the two mothers are blessed with Jin'an." As soon as Shangguan Ye Lin stepped into Jinghai Palace, he saw two graceful and luxurious women sitting above, Shangguan Ye Lin immediately understood the meaning of Ouyang Xuanyue's words, it turned out that there were two queen mothers in this harem, and one of them was Ouyang Xuanyue's queen mother.
The only one who can be called the queen mother by the emperor is the queen mother, it can be seen that Ouyang Xuanyue only recognized his mother as the queen mother, and did not admit that the owner of this Jinghai Palace was the queen mother at all.
Jinghai Palace is the dormitory of the Queen Mother of the Main Palace, and the position on the left is where the master sits, it is conceivable that the Queen Mother on the left is the Queen Mother of the Main Palace, and the Queen Mother of Ouyang Xuanyue is the Queen Mother of the Side, so Ouyang Xuanyue's Queen Mother will come to Jinghai Palace every morning to accept the invitation of the concubines.
Shangguan Ye Lin's just right greeting equalized the status of the two queen mothers, and naturally suppressed the queen mother as the master of Jinghai Palace, because she knew that the position where she sat as the master of the palace was on the left, and because of this, she would greet her like this, and the one sitting on the right must be Ouyang Xuanyue's queen mother.
"Pingshen, how could Xuan'er come to this Jinghai Palace today? I haven't seen Xuan'er come once in many months. "The Empress Dowager Qin, the master of Jinghai Palace, spoke softly and tactfully, with a sense of humor, and seemed to be indifferent to Ouyang Xuanyue and Shangguan Ye Lin's greetings, and still looked arrogant.
"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Shangguan Ye Lin slowly straightened up, looking like a lady, but her eyes narrowed almost invisibly, this queen mother is definitely not simple, she can hide her joys, sorrows and sorrows so deeply, that people can't detect half of it.
"Sister said and laughed, Jinghai Palace is not Longtan Tiger's Den, how could Xuan'er be closed and not come, it must be because Xuan'er is busy with affairs in the court and has no time to come." Ouyang Xuanyue's mother, Empress Dowager Liu, smiled slightly, and hurriedly replied before Ouyang Xuanyue could speak.
She was afraid that Xuan'er would say something rebellious, Empress Dowager Qin was a very dangerous person, she didn't want Xuan'er to be the next sail, and she couldn't stand that kind of blow.
"My sister is just joking, why should my sister be in a hurry to clarify for Xuan'er." The corners of Empress Dowager Qin's mouth were still smiling, and the pair of Danfeng eyes were also like filled with crystal clear water, which was extremely clear.
"The queen mother is just telling the facts, why should the queen mother insinuate." Ouyang Xuanyue's cold voice drifted out, and her dark black pupils turned slightly dark purple, appearing even deeper, and the cold light in her eyes flashed with three points of indifference and seven points of danger.
Empress Dowager Qin smiled faintly, as if she didn't care about Ouyang Xuanyue's words, and moved the topic to Shangguan Ye Lin, "What's your name?" "The Empress Dowager Qin wears armor made of jade on her little finger, inlaid with several blood pill sapphires, carved into the shape of a mandala, very beautiful and generous.
"The courtier's daughter Shangguan Yelin, my father is the right minister Shangguan Yue." Shangguan Ye Lin's ruddy face did not carry any superfluous expression, the upper hair was coiled into a circle, and a few hairpins inlaid with emeralds were inserted, and the lower layer scattered three thousand green silks on her shoulders.
"I heard that you are going to be canonized as a queen in the year of your death, right?" The beautiful face of the Empress Dowager Qin came into view, there was no sign of aging, she was still full of beauty, her long hair was pulled up by Yan Yan, and two red gold filigree warm jade fire phoenix pearl hairpins were inserted into the loose flying bun, and the thin golden step shook the white jade tassel down, and the sound of sporadic sound was extremely good.
"Yes, Queen Mother." Shangguan Ye Lin's beautiful eyes looked at the Empress Dowager Qin without fear, neither humble nor arrogant, this matter was known to the harem, and she didn't need to hide it.
"Whether the women in the harem are noble or not, it all depends on whether the emperor is favored with you, but there are thousands of concubines in the harem, just ask how many people can get the emperor's favor and soar, so it is often the best choice to be a palace maid. Are you right? Younger sister. "Empress Dowager Qin's eyebrows are beautiful, delicate and dignified, and there is a high-end natural carving, especially the charm between the eyebrows and lips, elegant and gentle, cordial in view, but the expression is warm but a little indifferent.
"Presumably, the Queen Mother was a collection of thousands of favors, and now she will be in a high position and rich for a lifetime!" Shangguan Yelin smiled faintly, her eyes were surrounded by a trace of cold light, and the two golden butterfly earrings hung on the cheeks were brilliant and dazzling, only the white jasmine on the side of the hairpin revealed that indifference.
The Empress Dowager Qin finally couldn't hold it back, and a sharp gaze in her eyes shot straight at Shangguan Ye Lin, and soon disappeared, Shangguan Ye Lin's words were clearly praising her, but secretly she was saying that she used various means and scheming to step on the corpses of those concubines and ascend to the throne of the Queen Mother.
"Xuan'er doesn't want to bring an uncanonized queen to say goodbye to the mourning family today." If you don't have anything to do, the purpose of Ouyang Xuanyue's coming here today shouldn't be so simple, Empress Dowager Qin knocked on the side.
When Ouyang Xuanyue heard this, she didn't play dumb riddles, and went straight to the point, "Lin'er is the future queen and the future master of the harem, so I brought Lin'er here today for the handover of the harem in three days." Ouyang Xuanyue glanced at the Empress Dowager Qin casually, and gave a cold smile, which was soul-stirring.
Empress Dowager Qin sneered silently, it turned out that she was here to seize power, but there was no wave on her face, and she said slowly: "Lin'er has not been officially canonized as the queen, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, besides, Lin'er doesn't know how to take care of the harem, it's better to leave Lin'er in Jinghai Palace and learn how to take care of the harem with the mourning family. ”
Hearing this, Ouyang Xuanyue didn't answer, Shangguan Ye Lin flatly refused, "Don't bother the Queen Mother, Lin'er is still young now, it is a good opportunity to exercise, as the saying goes, 'Talking on paper is shallow, and you must do it if you know it', follow it, it's better to actually operate, so that you can learn how to take care of the harem faster." "Stay in Jinghai Palace and follow along? I'm afraid that before she learned her age, she was already in a different place, she was not afraid of it, or she didn't want to be bound.
"I have made up my mind, I will not change it, the Queen Mother is old, it is not appropriate to work too hard, it is better to stay in the palace to take care of the old age, and three days later I will officially hand over the matter with Lin'er, I and Lin'er still have something to do, so I will leave first." Ouyang Xuanyue got up lazily, her phoenix eyes and starry eyes only swept slightly, and it made people feel that their hearts were hollowed out, and the slender crystal fingers pulled Shangguan Ye Lin's soft and boneless little hand, and without waiting for the Queen Mother's words, she took Shangguan Ye Lin's little hand and left.
