Chapter Twenty-Nine: Plotting in the Palace
After Zhong Hua left, Qi Qingyan closed his eyes, gently pressed the two points on his forehead, and sat a little tired on the luxurious chair inlaid with gold and jade and carefully carved from golden silk nan wood. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
She is more than thirty-four years old this year, if it is an ordinary family, this age is not old, but this is a harem, and the youth of women in the harem is more than half shorter than others, so she is now an old man.
Qi Qingyan entered the palace at the age of nineteen, or more precisely, entered the palace of King Yu. Compared with Queen Gao, who married into the palace of Yu at the age of fourteen as Princess Yu, Concubine Jin was the side concubine of King Yu at the age of sixteen, and Xu Miaoxin, who has been honored and favored for several years and entered the palace at the age of seventeen, her age when she entered the palace seems to be too old, that is, in the homes of ordinary people, at such an age, she is still to be gossiped about, not to mention that she was born in the house of the official eunuch, so she entered the harem, and naturally she could not avoid the cynicism of other concubines who held grudges against her, although her father at that time was just a small Jizhou assassin.
But she also had a proud brilliance, that is, Emperor Chen's love for her, although she is not like Xu Miaoxin who crowns the six palaces alone, but her status in Emperor Chen's heart is far beyond any other concubine, and then, stupidly, she thought that she would be Emperor Chen's unique from now on, and took all the favor of Emperor Chen as her own capricious and arrogant capital.
How arrogant is it? The following examples should not be difficult to illustrate, for example, she used Emperor Chen's favor to help her father climb from a local assassination to the current status of the secretary of the criminal department in five or six years; For example, at the full moon banquet where her first son Zhong Hua was born, she 'accidentally' smashed the priceless gift given by Empress Gao in front of Empress Gao, such as beating Concubine Jin's beloved tanuki to death for a small piece of snack....... These all kinds of absurd and arrogant things are the most favored for several years, and Xu Miaoxin, who has surpassed her back then, will never dare to do it, which is the first and only one among all the women in Queen Chen's palace.
Xu Miaoxin didn't do it, and Qi Qingyan believed that there would be no more women other than himself who could do it.
Because this requires not only Emperor Chen's favor, but also courage, and the wisdom of a woman!
It's a pity that Xu Miaoxin has it, but it is only Emperor Chen's favor.
And now Xu Miaoxin's status seems to be about to be unkept, which is different from her back then, she thinks that except for the special woman who wrote a poem at the age of seven and was written at the age of nine, she is amazing but has long been forgotten by the world and even her name has become taboo, there should be no woman in this world who can compare to her talent Qi Qingyan.
She never thought that Xu Miaoxin was qualified to be compared with herself, a woman who won the heart of the monarch by showing off her appearance, no matter how good she was born, how much difference was there between her and those singers and dancers in the land of smoke and willows and flowers.
As for the woman named Ning Qin'er, who suddenly appeared now without any family background and had already been sealed as a lover before she was favored, although she had never met before, but with a woman's intuition, Qi Qingyan felt that this woman was probably more worthy of attention than Xu Miaoxin.
"Xiyun, you secretly send someone down to check on our Majesty's new Ning Liangren, whether it is good or bad, whether it is good or bad for our side, as soon as there is news, immediately report it to the palace!"
"Niangniang is worried that this woman may be detrimental to the situation and status of our side?" Yuyun couldn't help but be suspicious.
Qi Qingyan shook his head slightly and smiled lightly, "No, this palace thinks that this Ning Liang person and us should not be enemies, but should be friends!" ”
"What do you mean?"
"If she Xu Miaoxin doesn't play tricks on Hua'er, she will be arrogant, and Bengong doesn't care about what to do to her at all, but blame her for being too stupid and self-righteous, and she has carefully played on Bengong's son, do you think Bengong can still be indifferent? Of course not! And now in Xu Miaoxin's eyes, the biggest enemy must be our Majesty's new Ning Liangren, who has a charming appearance that is far superior to her Xu Miaoxin, so isn't the enemy of the enemy a friend? If this Ning Qin'er is really a smart person, she didn't know anything before, and when she appeared in this palace, she should have already understood almost everything, she is a woman with no family background at all, if she wants to survive in this complicated and thrilling harem, she won't understand what to do, even if she is not a friend at that time, she will already be a friend! ”
"The slave has understood!"
"There are still three days before the end of the Elk Mountain hunt, at most seven days, Your Majesty and the others should also return to the Jin Tomb, when the time comes, this Ning Liang will return to the palace with His Majesty is already a sure thing, a concubine from the sixth grade, although it can't be said how high, but if it is from the top of the first rank, then it must be very important, since this is the case, then now, it is time to arrange a dormitory for our future friend! Since there is no movement on the side of Fengyi Palace, then it is up to this palace to do this! ”
Xiyun thought for a moment, not sure if she understood correctly, "Is Niangniang ready to take full authority to arrange this?" ”
Qi Qingyan glanced at Xiyun and smiled lightly, "Xiyun, the longer you go, the more you go back!" Did Hongu say this? ”
Xiyun shook his head slightly, "Xiyun is stupid, please explain to my mother!" ”
Qi Qingyan smiled faintly, "Time has passed!" Today's Queen Gao is no longer the queen who didn't know how to forbear, just because of the arrogance of the palace, she slammed the cup and left in front of His Majesty in a fit of anger, but in the same way, the palace is no longer the main palace of the past, this main palace can be done, as long as Fengyi Palace can do the main thing, my Shangyang Palace can basically do the same, Fengyi Palace will not say that this palace is not, and other palaces will not, as for Your Majesty, he is not even too lazy to look at this palace now, let alone others! But in this matter, this palace wants Fengyi Palace to do it! ”
"Slave maid...... Still don't quite understand! ”
Qi Qingyan smiled lightly, "Then to put it another way, Xu Miaoxin can get to this position, this palace will plant such a big heel, this may not be without the credit of Fengyi Palace, to a certain extent, if there is no certain boost from Fengyi Palace, how can she Xu Miaoxin really have such a great ability, but Xu Miaoxin is really pitiful, she was used as a gunman but not only did not know it, but also self-righteous, ridiculously thought that she really had a lot of ability!" I can't even do my best to step on the main palace! ”
"But what does this have to do with that Ning Liang man?"
"What does the appearance of this Ning Qin'er mean? It means that the gunners that Fengyi Palace has spent a lot of effort cultivating are about to run out of use! Of course, this is not what Fengyi Palace is most concerned about, the gunner can be replaced, not to mention that it is still a gunner who is getting more and more difficult to call! What Fengyi Palace is most concerned about is what kind of advantages and disadvantages this Ning Qin'er will bring to her status, in case she will be another palace back then? What if she's in league with Hongu? No matter which one it is, it won't be what Fengyi Palace wants to see, and the latter one will be worse than the previous one! ”
"Niangniang is saying that the news that Your Majesty canonized the woman named Ning Qin'er has been back to the palace for many days, and the queen has not made any reaction for a long time, in fact, it is deliberate?"
Qi Qingyan smiled and nodded, "So, since it's as an aid, how can this palace be sorry to remind our queen mother......"
