The harem is a place of fickleness, if the court is a place where courtiers compete for fame and fortune, then the harem is the battlefield where these women compete for power, and these two places are inextricably linked.

Qi You's will once again stirred up the situation in the entire harem and even in front of the court, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor was deliberately suppressing the Liu family, and the Gongsun clan, which had been quiet for decades, was suddenly pushed to the front of the stage.

Not to mention that other people in the harem or people in front of the court have ideas, that is, the Gongsun clan was also flattered when he received the holy decree, for the Gongsun clan, such a temporary position is somewhat of a hot potato, since receiving the holy decree, the Gongsun clan has not slept for half a night.

On that day, after Gong Xue passed the decree and left, Gongsun sat on the chair with the holy decree and was distracted, and the personal maid on the side was of course happy to hear such news, temporarily acting for the palace affairs This is the emperor's great trust in the virtuous concubine, the queen had an accident, and there were many concubines in the harem, but the emperor only wanted to let the virtuous concubine temporarily represent, which shows that the virtuous concubine has a different status in the emperor's heart.

The maid thought so, so she was a little strange when she saw the helpless appearance of Concubine Xian Gongsun: "Niangniang, what's the matter, the queen is derelict in her duties, the emperor appointed you to temporarily act as the palace minister, this is a great honor and a great good thing, why are you sad?" ”

Concubine Gongsun pinched this long-awaited holy decree but frowned a little and said: "For so many years, the queen has maintained it very well, what happened this time can make the emperor so angry, this matter is not clear, and the temporary position of the palace is also uneasy." ”

The maid puzzled: "It's not that the queen is derelict in her duties, the slave thinks that this matter is naturally related to the second prince and the eldest princess, and the mother also knows that it is rumored that the queen dotes on the second prince and snubs the eldest princess, and it is estimated that the emperor can't stand it, so he is angry, isn't it better to do this, and the mother and the eldest prince can win the emperor's heart even more." ”

Concubine Xian Gongsun shook her head and said, "No." It should be more than that, I'm afraid there is a deeper reason. ”

The maid smiled: "Even if there is, the holy decree is in your hands, what are you worried about." Now that the eldest prince has gone out to set up a mansion, you are temporarily acting for the palace affairs and taking charge of the harem, which is a good thing, and the mother does not need to be too cautious. ”

Concubine Xian sighed and said, "It's always good to be careful. Haven't all these years come over the palace like this, but at this juncture, it can be said that it is a special period, and the emperor's arrangement is not successful. ”

The maid smiled and comforted: "Niangniang, you have been cautious and accustomed to the years when the eldest prince was still a minor, which woman in this harem can compare to you, as soon as the second prince has an accident, this will be left with our eldest prince, and the emperor will naturally be biased and reused." It can also be seen from the emperor's will, otherwise why don't the women in this palace let the concubines or concubines temporarily replace them, in the final analysis, the emperor still trusts you more. ”

Concubine Xian Gongsun thought for a while and said: "Maybe, when it comes to trust, it is not entirely true, otherwise the emperor will not let the palace temporarily take over the palace affairs, and let the queen mother keep the phoenix seal." ”

Xu saw the helplessness of Concubine Xian, and the maid smiled: "Niangniang, this real power is in your hands, and this phoenix seal is not a matter of time." What are you worried about, this will be the queen's worries. ”

Concubine Xian looked at the holy decree and smiled slightly: "Yes, why worry about the sky, it's good that this palace has a clear conscience." Okay, keep the holy decree in a safe place, and tomorrow, the main palace will start to get busy. ”

Under the holy decree of Qi You, it is normal for the virtuous concubine Gongsun to be a little flustered, as a harem woman, who does not yearn for the emperor's favor. But this has been neglected for a long time, and suddenly such a grace is added, which really makes Concubine Xian a little trance.

As the power behind the virtuous concubine, Gongsun Shangshu was also a little stunned, it is a good thing that his daughter and grandson can get the emperor's eyes, but after all, the emperor's move will inevitably attract criticism for them, but fortunately, the phoenix seal is still in the hands of the queen mother, otherwise half of the ministers of the court will look up to him, he can't bear it.

If it is really a few happy and a few sad, the Gongsun family has begun to rise faintly, while the Liu family has some signs of loneliness and defeat.

Liu Ba, who is the most powerful in himself, was dismissed from real power by Emperor Qi Wen a few years ago, and now he is idle at home, and he has no combat effectiveness, and the queen of Emperor Qi Wen, that is, the current queen mother, is also a nominal name, everything has to look at Qi You's face, as for the current queen, the way it is now, the Liu family can only count on the second prince and the eldest princess.

The queen was grounded in Kunning Palace by the emperor because of her fault, and the phoenix seal was taken away and handed over to the queen mother, although this phoenix seal is still in the hands of the Liu family, but this is the first time that the emperor has lost so many tempers, what happened in the past, the emperor has not made an article with the phoenix seal, this time I am afraid that it is the last warning.

After that night, the queen really stayed in the Kunning Palace, accompanied by the second prince and the eldest princess, and the virtuous concubine Gongsun completely began to be busy, and although the queen mother held the phoenix seal, she still treated it indifferently, and she basically didn't look at the management of the virtuous concubine.

The queen mother has experienced two dynasties, this heart is like a mirror, she knew from that night that Xue Gonggong passed the decree that the emperor did not want to endure anymore, this queen is really stupid, this kind of knot let the emperor catch the wrong place, not only grounded and dismissed, but also lost the phoenix seal, although this phoenix seal is temporarily placed in her queen mother, it looks like the last bottom line left by the emperor to the queen, in fact, this is just an inducement to let the queen and the concubine really fight, but she has to watch, thinking of the queen mother has to sigh Qi You's scheming and strategyIn the end, the Liu family is still just a chess piece in the hands of the Qi family.

The queen mother understands that she is already a waste, and if this niece's current queen loses her status again, this Liu family will really be in danger, after all, when the second prince is not strong enough to support this qiē, hey, the queen mother just doesn't worry about it.

The news first spread throughout the harem, and then it also infiltrated the court, but the courtiers also discussed it privately, and they were very smart to never mention this matter in the court, after all, they had heard a lot of rumors about the queen during this time, and none of them would be stupid to touch the emperor's harem.

The people of the Liu family were worried, but the people of Yuefu were a lot more relieved, not because the queen was reprimanded, but because Concubine Xian wanted to temporarily take over the palace affairs, the child could not be fostered there, and the child who had been separated for almost a month finally returned to Le's side.

This matter is a good thing for both Le and Yuefu, not to mention that Empress Liu was reprimanded and grounded, they are also happy in their hearts, Prime Minister Le is preparing to take the opportunity to enter the palace to meet Concubine Shangde when the prince is full moon.

Although Le's body is still so weak, there are many nurses and grandmothers, and they will not bother too much to take care of, and their own children are always placed in others, and Le's heart always can't let go of worry.

Because the confinement has not yet been born, and Qi You is very busy during this time, this child has not yet been named, so he can only be called by the five princes, and the five princes scream, even so, Le's is also happy, at least she has one more reliance in the harem.

Although Le's from pregnancy to childbirth, and even to the confinement, Qi You did not take a look, but this child is Qi You's own, after the full moon, Qi You did not attend the full moon banquet, but directly gave the name Qi Huan, taking the meaning of prudence in words and deeds.

Le knew what Qi You meant, so naturally he would not act rashly, but stayed quietly in his own Yangde Palace with his own son in his arms, and did not go anywhere, he really devoted himself to the child.

And for Xibao, it was also unexpectedly for the queen to be punished like this, after all, everyone has reverse scales, but Qi You's arrangement also protected Xibao very well, as soon as the news came out, Xibao instructed Wenqin to arrange it, and the queen should be tight-lipped about the matter of the queen coming to find the eldest princess that day, and no half word should be leaked.

Although Wen Qin was puzzled, he also knew the relationship between avoiding suspicion, so he had already ordered the arrangement.

The grounding of the mother of this country is a big deal, especially in the harem, which has stopped a lot since the queen was grounded?????

In a blink of an eye, time slipped to the ninth year of Emperor Yongdi, at the turn of spring and summer, and saw that Qi You was about to reach the age of forty.

Even Xibao is already thirty years old, Huanyan is thirteen years old, and Xiao Huanyue is more than four years old, and she started to study in the school half a year ago, and Xibao's life is a lot easier.

And although the queen has already been grounded, the Xian Concubine Gongsun is still temporarily acting for the palace affairs, and Fengyin has always been with the queen mother, and Qi Youna seems to have no sign of restoring the queen's rights at all.

The second prince has also fully recovered, and he has been released from the Shan Independent Mansion a few years ago, after all, he is already eighteen people, and he was still recovering in her body before, so it was postponed for more than a year, but this is almost good, and it is also over the weak crown, it is time to go out.

After the second prince left the palace and became independent, he also began to slowly return to government affairs, although it was shelved for more than two years, but fortunately, this child is also smart, and soon learned to get started again, I don't know whether Qi You intentionally or unintentionally gave the original Yongwang Mansion to the second prince as a mansion, this move rekindled the queen's hope, but it made the courtiers speculate for a while.

What does this emperor mean, in the past two or three years, it is obvious that he is suppressing the Liu family, but the emperor gave the original Yongwang Mansion as the prince's mansion of the second prince, this matter is really confusing, the courtiers are naturally not thorough, and even Xibao was a little surprised after knowing the news.

After all, in the past two years, the second prince has been recuperating from his injuries, and the eldest prince has already won the first place in court affairs, and the foundation has begun to be slowly established, Qi You is also paying special attention to him, and the wind direction in the court has long been biased towards the eldest prince.

But Qi You's move to give the house a few years ago made the calm situation ripple, and the emperor's move to the east and west really made the courtiers a little confused.

And the reason why the courtiers are so concerned is because Qi You's age is about to enter the unconfused, and the position of the prince should be settled.

finally calmed down for two or three years, and even Qi Zhe didn't understand why his imperial brother acted like this, because in his opinion, it was purely his second brother who had nothing to do and was bored. (To be continued.) )
