Chapter 18 The concubine seeks to ascend to the throne

Qingning Palace has always been quiet, and today is not fifteen, so it is even more lonely.

It is said that there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and there are always so many people who do not want to leave the ears of the Empress Dowager Zhou clean.

The Queen Mother and the eldest princess of Longqing came here early, only saying that Longqing had not seen her mother for a long time, so she came to ask for peace.

But this week, the Queen Mother has always preferred Longqing, and she is also full of joy.

"Why did you come to the palace this time, and don't send someone to inform the mourning family first?"

Long Qing smiled, sat beside the Empress Dowager Zhou, and said, "Erchen didn't want to come over to disturb the peace of the queen mother, just to ......"

The Empress Dowager Zhou saw that Longqing wanted to speak and stopped, as if there was something unspeakable, so she said bluntly: "For what? Just say it. โ€

Long Qing looked embarrassed again, sighed and stood up and walked to the center of the hall, pacing: "Erchen entered the palace this time for Li'er's marriage."

"Li'er?" Empress Dowager Zhou interrupted her, "Which Li'er?" โ€

"That's it...... Ah Tai's former daughter of his deceased wife Li Fei, "Long Qing's face seemed to darken a little, she has always loved You Li, even more than her own daughter You Zhi.

"It turned out to be her," the Empress Dowager Zhou was slightly tempted, "You Tai had a deceased wife before you got married, and the mourning family does remember it, but this Lifei clan is probably not Han, how can the mourning family remember that she is a Ran ้งน (mรกng) person." โ€

The queen mother was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, Lifei is indeed not Han, but You Tai is Han, besides, Li'er was brought up by Longqing, fundamentally speaking, she is Han."

The Empress Dowager Zhou didn't know what Longqing and the Queen Mother were really coming back for, so she didn't say more, and the matter of You Li had nothing to do with her.

Seeing her look like this, Long Qing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she had recognized Li'er a little.

"Queen Mother," Long Qing frowned, "Li'er is now at the age of leaving the cabinet, Erchen has been busy looking for her mother-in-law a few years ago, a few days ago, Liu Wen, the son of the Marquis of Anyuan, came to propose marriage, Erchen saw that he was both civil and military, both capable and political, and his appearance was also handsome, so he had already recognized it in his heart, but Li'er thought he was older, and he always looked down on others, and he didn't agree. Because of her marriage, the son has been depressed for many days. โ€

The Empress Dowager Zhou didn't care, "Then why did you come to the palace this time?"

Only then did Long Qing get to the point, and twisted: "Erchen wants to give Li'er to the emperor as a side concubine......"

"What!" Empress Dowager Zhou immediately showed a displeased face, and it seemed that she was extremely opposed to this matter.

Long Qing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, pretending to be aggrieved, he glanced sideways at the Queen Mother, and then said: "The minister originally wanted to discuss this matter with the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother said that you are the master of the Six Palaces, and this matter should be discussed with you, but the son has expected that the Queen Mother will definitely not agree, but the son is not giving up, and he still has the courage to come over to ask."

When the Empress Dowager Zhou heard this, she softened her heart and sighed lightly: "It's not that the mourning family disagrees, it's just that You Li has the blood of the Ran Shu people on his body, and in the Tang Dynasty, there were Dang Xiang clan Tuoba clan to establish the Great Xia Dynasty, and now it is difficult to guarantee that the Ran Shu people will not rise again, and divide one side, if so, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

"You are too worried about this queen mother, that Lifei died in order to give birth to Li'er's blood, although Li'er knew that she was not a descendant of her son, but she didn't know that she was a descendant of Ran Shu, and she would never contribute to the arrogance of Ran Shuren."

The Empress Dowager Zhou still seemed a little embarrassed, and only said: "It's not enough for the mourning family to agree to this matter, you have to ask the queen's opinion," Since ancient times, the emperor never had to ask the queen's opinion about the matter of concubines, but the Empress Dowager Zhou always thought that Zhang Junfang was Zhu Youjiao's lucky star, so she respected her very much, and she didn't recognize You Li too much.

Longqing and the Queen Mother were slightly stunned, how could they still need the queen's consent.

The Empress Dowager Zhou glanced at Mei on the side, and Mei Mei understood in an instant, and went out with her head bowed.

But after a while, Zhang Junyu and Nanxu came here, and the Empress Dowager Zhou asked her: "Empress, if Longqing allows the eldest daughter of Youju to be the emperor's side concubine, what is your opinion?"

Zhang Junfang was not surprised, he had already told her when he went to Kunning Palace to summon her.

She said, "The concubine has no opinion."

As soon as these words came out, Long Qing and the Queen Mother were smiling, in contrast, the Queen Mother Zhou's face was a little surprised, she looked sideways at Qi Mei, and Qi Mei also lowered her head to look at her.

Qi Mei clearly told her that she would never agree to this matter, but Zhang Junfang wanted to do the opposite.

"Since ancient times, emperors have all been fanned, and Your Majesty is no exception, not to mention that the concubine has been married to Your Majesty for a year, and she has not yet had an heir, which is inevitably contrary to the rules."

Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhou was about to speak, the Queen Mother hurriedly interjected and said, "Then everyone will be happy, at first I was afraid that you would not agree, but now it is good."

"It just so happens that Li'er is also in the palace, Queen Mother," Long Qing faced the Empress Dowager Zhou and smiled, "Look, do you want to call her?"

"No need," the Empress Dowager Zhou stood up suddenly, "You go to the emperor to take a look, and it is the right thing to convince him." โ€

After saying that, the Empress Dowager Zhou turned around and went back to the inner hall, she was hateful and angry this time, Long Qing, who had been spoiled for so many years, teamed up with the Empress Dowager to deceive her, and Zhang Junfang, in vain, she has always trusted her, and now even she disobeys her.

However, she always felt that Zhang Junfang seemed to have other plans.

Zhang Junfang is really willing to let Na You Li enter the palace to share Zhu Youjiao's favor with her, everything is just for the sake of some virtuous and good reputation.

Approaching Kunning Palace, Zhang Junfang finally couldn't help the doubts in his heart and asked, "You Li is from Aunt Longqing?"

"No," Nan Xu replied very calmly, "She is from the original match of Captain Youdu." โ€

Zhang Junfang stopped, slightly surprised, "So, Aunt Longqing is a partial house?"

"It's not, she's just a continuation."

"I see."

Looking at the Qianqing Palace again, this You Li wants to be the queen, and she has admired Zhu Youzhu since she was a child, but now that she has grown up, Longqing is full of matching the two of them, she is more and more bold, and she is even pestering Zhu Youzhu to live or die and is unwilling to leave.

"Brother Emperor."

Zhu Youzhu held the notebook in his hand and concentrated on reading it, but he really didn't have time to take care of her, so he ignored her.

Seeing that he ignored him, You Li immediately got up from the chair on the side of the desk, sat beside Zhu Youzhang, and pressed close to him, Zhu Youzhu unconsciously moved back in order to avoid suspicion.

Unexpectedly, You Li got closer again, grabbed his arm and sneered: "Brother Emperor, do you think Li'er is good-looking?"

"Beautiful."

You Li was displeased, "You didn't even look at Li'er." โ€

Zhu Youzhu frowned, glanced at her sideways, and said, "Good-looking."

"Compared to the Queen?"

Zhu Youzhu didn't think about it, and said bluntly: "Naturally, the queen is good-looking."

You Li immediately shook his arm and sprinkled, "Who is good-looking!" โ€

Zhu Youzhu wanted to push her away, but considering that she was Aunt Longqing's daughter, he had to answer her and said, "You are good-looking."

You Li smiled like a flower, her cheek was close to the root of his ear, and she asked softly, "Then, do you like Li'er?"

Zhu Youzhu finally couldn't bear it anymore and was about to push her away, but he was really surprised when he saw Zhang Junzhu and Nan Su coming over, and You Li also saw Zhang Junjiao, so he grabbed Zhu Youzhu with both hands and dropped a kiss on his cheek.

"You!" Zhu Youzhu immediately stood up and pushed her away, but You Li was full of red light.

Zhang Junyu forcibly suppressed the anger, smiled lightly and was very calm, and said, "The concubine retires."

"Wattle!"
