Chapter 56: Killing the Chicken (Collection of 150 plus more)
When Mu Qing walked into the palace gate of Zhaoyang Palace with the palace people and the imperial doctor, Wu Guifei was sitting in the main hall teasing the four princes in He Baolin's hands with great interest.
To tell the truth, although He Baolin is a person from her palace, Wu Guifei is not very interested in the children born to other palace concubines, and she also gives a lot of grace to He Baolin and the four princes on weekdays. But no child has been born in the palace for a long time, and when Wu Guifei is interested, she also likes to tease children.
Then Wu Guifei saw Hao Hao Tang Tang walking in with a bunch of people.
She sat on the chair and did not move, her expression remained unchanged, still teasing the four princes in He Baolin's arms.
He Baolin looked at Aunt Mu who was leading people in outside the door, and glanced down at the four princes, with a sadness on his face.
After a long while, Wu Guifei waved her hand to let He Baolin get out of the way, then raised her head, raised the corners of her eyes, looked at Aunt Mu in a cold tone and said, "Yo, which gust of wind blew your Aunt Mu to the Zhaoyang Palace of the main palace." ”
Mu Qing led people to curtsey and said, "Meet the noble concubine Niangniang, Niangniang is a thousand years old." ”
Wu Guifei didn't scream, looked at her and said, "Auntie, what is the reason for such a big battle?" Do you want to demolish the Zhaoyang Palace of the main palace? ”
Mu Qing straightened up, looked at Wu Guifei who was sitting high on the chair, and said calmly: "Yesterday, the internal and external women's court meeting and the small banquet of Changkun Palace, the concubine Niangniang was absent from illness, and the queen was worried about the concubine Niangniang after hearing it, and it was difficult to sleep and eat. But then the queen heard that the concubine Niangniang set up a stage in Zhaoyang Palace during the small banquet in Changkun Palace and listened to the play, which shows that the concubine Niangniang's body does not look like she is sick. The queen didn't know whether the disease of the concubine was a real disease or a fake disease, so she sent a slave and maid with the imperial doctor to ask for the pulse of the concubine Niangniang to solve the doubts in the queen's heart. ”
Wu Guifei snorted and said coldly disdainfully: "What about the real illness in this palace, even if it is a fake illness?" ”
Mu Qing smiled lightly: "If it is really sick, the queen should ask for a doctor for the concubine, so as not to delay the condition of the concubine." If it's a fake illness......" Mu Qing raised his eyebrows, revealing a light smile with a deep meaning, and then turned his head and instructed the imperial doctor: "Please ask a few imperial doctors to ask for the pulse of the noble concubine?" ”
Several imperial doctors bowed their hands and prepared to step forward.
Wu Guifei stared at Mu Qing, slapped her hand on the armrest with a "snap", and said angrily: "This palace will see who dares!" Mu Qing, you show this palace clearly, this is the Zhaoyang Palace of this palace, not your Changkun Palace, this palace will see who dares to spread wild here. As he spoke, he squinted at her, his narrow eyes flew into his sideburns, and he said with a sly smile in his eyes: "This palace sees that you are a fake queen Yizhi at all." ”
Then his eyes were cold, and he said loudly: "Come on, take this Diao slave who pretends to pass Yi's decree out and beat it to death, this palace wants to see if there are more people you bring or there are more people in Zhaoyang Palace in this palace." ”
The maids and eunuchs of Zhaoyang Palace glanced at each other, hesitated and did not dare to step forward.
Wu Guifei scolded: "Are they all rice buckets, don't give it to the palace, kill people and bear the burden of the palace." Said a disdainful "snort", and continued to scold: "Let me tell you, when the palace was serving the emperor, your master was still learning to climb with his legs crossed, and now he is in front of the palace to be majestic, and the palace will see if she can get up with Lin Yan." ”
The eunuchs of Zhaoyang Palace were ordered to prepare to step forward, and the palace people brought by Mu Qing also stepped forward to protect Mu Qing, and the palace people on both sides formed a confrontation.
And at this time, the bright yellow brocade cloth was lifted, the hall was brilliant and shining, Mu Qing held the seal in his hand high, and then the size of an adult's palm, the shape of a tiger, the phoenix seal carved by mutton fat and white jade stood in front of everyone.
Mu Qing said sharply: "Fengyin is here, I see who dares to be presumptuous." ”
Everyone in the hall, including He Baolin, knelt down in front of Feng Yin and shouted: "The queen is a thousand years old." ”
Wu Guifei stood up from her seat and stared at the phoenix seal in Mu Qing's hand, her eyes almost bursting with fire.
Mu Qing looked at her and said with a smile: "Guifei Niangniang, seeing Fengyin is like seeing the queen, you ......"
Wu Guifei clenched her hands into fists, and then unwillingly, she knelt down slowly.
The thing of the phoenix seal is unusual, it represents the supreme right. Sometimes the meaning it represents is greater than the meaning of the queen herself. Just like the jade seal, when the dynasty changes, why does the new emperor always look for the jade seal first time. Because of the jade seal, the throne is justified.
She Wu Yun can not take the queen in her eyes, but she can't turn a blind eye to Feng Yin, which is also what she has been looking for all her life.
Mu Qing stood there silent for a while, and after making sure that no one dared to be presumptuous, he stroked the phoenix seal and smiled at Wu Guifei: "The queen mother said that she is young and entered the palace late, so it is inevitable that her prestige in the palace will be insufficient. The concubine Niangniang is an old man who has served the emperor for more than ten years, and there are two princes under her knees, and the queen is afraid that she is not confident enough, so she has to rely on the phoenix seal as a last resort, and please don't be surprised. As he spoke, he said, "Guifei Niangniang, can you ask the imperial doctor to ask for your pulse now?" ”
Wu Guifei didn't speak.
Mu Qing glanced at her, turned his head and glanced at the imperial doctor who was still kneeling on the ground.
In the Changkun Palace.
Lin Yan sat cross-legged on the couch, looking at the account books of her Changkun Palace, looking relaxed and leisurely, as if she was not worried about what happened in Zhaoyang Palace......
Mu Lan stood beside her and waited, and asked her cautiously: "Niangniang, you let Aunt Mu and Mu Zhi go to Zhaoyang Palace, but do you want to deal with the concubine Niangniang?" ”
Lin Yan let out a "hmm", and then made a stroke in the account book.
Mu Lan said with some concern: "Concubine Wu has a deep foundation in the harem, and she has served the emperor for many years, will she ......" She paused, and then said: "If you want to build a prestige, why don't you start with other palace concubines first, compare He Baolin." The slave maid saw that she was disposed of, and she could also give a warning to Zhaoyang Palace. ”
Lin Yan smiled and shook her head.
In terms of qualifications, Mu Zhi and Mu Lan have served her for a longer time, but relatively speaking, whether she is in the Wuguo Mansion or in the palace, she relies on Mu Zhi more. She admits Mu Lan's loyalty to her, but Mu Lan's temperament is not as bold and neat as Mu Zhi.
Just like this time, she understood that Mu Lan was worried that she would not be able to deal with Wu Guifei but would let the harem see her, the laughing stock of the new queen, so she suggested that she take the little palace concubine first. Mu Zhi may also have such worries, but Mu Zhi is worried, as long as it is what she tells to do, she will move forward bravely, and she will do it with her head and blood. Mulan lacks Mu Zhi's courage.
The concubines in this harem, in terms of seniority, which one is not deeper than her, like Wu Guifei and Cui Xianfei, is an old man who served the emperor before the palace, she is a teenage yellow-haired girl, one has no qualifications and two no heirs, with her family background and the identity of the queen, if you want to manage the harem well, let all the concubines and concubines obey her discipline, this is not easy.
At this time, the harem didn't know how many people watched her movements and stood on the sidelines, so what she wanted to do at this time was to be a tree and a prestige.
Since it is to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, it is natural to pick the biggest chicken. Beat the biggest and most disobedient chicken down, and the other chickens will naturally be pressed down.
If she only picks the small chicken to use the knife, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she is timid. This will only make Wu Guifei more rampant, and the other palace concubines will despise Changkun Palace even more.
