The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak. Since someone jumped out and theorized with that Fang Xueqing, since the emperor has paid attention to this, where can these concubines allow the emperor's eyes to fall on others, and they are really active, and An Concubine seems to be a little weak.

Such a lively scene, those onlookers can be happy, this meeting is rare to see, these can do the second grade of the palace concubines, most of them are illustrious, and some fathers and brothers are sitting in the side, this side is lively, the officials of the foreign court naturally can't sit still, although it is not to reason with these ladies, the courtiers are also divided into several factions, and the argument is opened.

The emperor looked at it coldly and didn't stop it, Chu Feifei was gnawing on the apple behind him, whispering to Sixi.

"That Xie Yushi turned out to be from the Xiangguo faction, I really didn't see it." Sixi clasped his hands, knelt on the ground, and shook his head with a sigh.

Chu Fei nibbled on the apple, gnawing loudly: "It's still the power of Xiangguo, you have an advantage in numbers." ”

"Not necessarily." Sixi shook his head insightfully: "The Xiangguo faction is powerful, and the other factions will unite, so that the number of the Xiangguo faction will not be advantageous." ”

Chu Feifei nodded sympathetically.

The emperor in front couldn't help but look back: "Nonsense, it's not going to the battlefield, what's the use of having a large number of people?" ”

Sixi shrunk his neck and stepped aside.

The emperor looked at Chu Feifei's ignorance, sighed and said: "The country is powerful, just look at the six departments and the real power institutions, more than half of them are his people, those pavilion elders are noble, and the three palaces and three pavilions are the heads of civil officials, but after all, there is no real power in their hands, that is, it looks beautiful." ”

Chu Feifei finished eating the apple, felt a little unsatisfied, pointed to the small case next to the emperor, the emperor took a plate of kumquat and handed it over, Chu Feifei endured it silently, in fact, she wanted the jujube cake.

"Look. Even those military generals, who should have stayed away from the court and didn't know how to seek power, are now forming gangs one by one. If it weren't for today's incident, I wouldn't know the true face of these important ministers of the country. The emperor sneered repeatedly.

Chu Feifei said casually: "It's not a big deal to form a gang or something, as long as they are loyal to the country, why does the emperor mind which of them is close to whom?" ”

The emperor was stunned. After a while, he turned around and glanced at Chu Feifei: "When the water is clear, there is no fish, girl, what you said is not unreasonable, but as an emperor" The emperor smiled bitterly in his heart, as an emperor, what he is playing with is to balance people's hearts, how can he allow the courtiers below to form gangs and form factions, and the family is dominant. Once there is power, it is difficult to say how much of this loyal king's heart is, since ancient times, the courtiers who have gained power. Is there still less people who control the government?

The emperor looked at Xia Xiangguo, who was sitting in the first place, lowering his eyes and seeming to close his eyes, and sneered in his heart, this Xia Guotao is now on the table, I am afraid that it is not all his power, and if this person's power is not eliminated for a day, he will be uneasy for a day

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes fell on the body of Fang Xueqing, who was as beautiful as a peach and a plum, and as cold as frost, as for this woman of unknown origin

Then. An old chamberlain with gray hair approached Sixi: "Father-in-law, can you postpone this time to return to the palace?" The old slave looked at it, and I am afraid that this situation will drag on for a while. ”

Sixi looks at the sky outside. Leaned over and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if you continue like this, the time to return to the palace will be delayed." ”

The time when the emperor left the palace and the time when he returned to the palace were calculated by Qin Tianjian, and it was an auspicious time, and it could not be changed.

The Emperor waved his hand lightly and sat up straight.

The concubines were arguing so much. And the noisy topic has long been off topic, as for Fang Xueqing, who caused this controversy at the beginning, has been put aside, and what Kang Concubine and Zhuang Concubine are-for-tat is whether Kang Concubine's gorgeous costumes were out of line at the last dinner

And the controversy of the courtiers below has also deviated to the issue of interfering in politics in the harem, Xia Guotao's beard, there is a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, who wants to bring him down? What kind of climate can it become?

The emperor smiled lightly, and suddenly shouted at the noisy crowd below: "Enough"

The emperor's voice was not loud, but although the people below were noisy, their minds were still half divided on the emperor's body, and at this time, as soon as the emperor spoke, the following immediately knelt down.

The emperor sneered: "It's just a newly selected show girl, and it's worth it for you to take out such a big battle to debate, this Fang Xueqing, I look innocent and straightforward, even if there is anything inappropriate, I will pardon it." ”

The palace concubines kneeling on the ground below showed a look of disgruntle.

The emperor looked at those people and said lightly: "A few of you, you are also second-grade palace concubines, those newcomers have entered the palace, and they still need your teaching, you look at your current appearance, and there is a model of virtue and virtue?" Especially you, Concubine Zhuang, you are a scholarly family, and your ancestors have been born for two generations of bachelors, I have high hopes for you, how can you be the same as those women in the market, noisy and noisy, what kind of system"

When the concubine heard the emperor say that he had high hopes for her, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl, and she hurriedly changed her color, kowtowed and asked for guilt: "The concubine is guilty, and the concubine is willing to receive the emperor's punishment." ”

The emperor turned to Concubine Kang again: "And you, when you first entered the palace, you were just a little beauty, and now you are promoted to the second-grade concubine, it is not easy, you actually don't know how to cherish the blessings, and you are still noisy in front of me, I usually hurt your heart is really in vain." ”

That Concubine Kang listened with some trepidation, but when she heard the emperor say that she loved her, she suddenly became complacent, glanced at Concubine Zhuang on the side, and said coquettishly: "The concubine knows that she is wrong, the concubine is willing to make amends to the emperor, and I hope that the emperor will give the concubine this opportunity." ”

Concubine Zhuang on the side bit her silver teeth in her heart, she is really a lowly vixen, from a low background, she will make that unpopular means to hook the emperor.

Chu Feifei listened a little inexplicable on the sidelines, is this a depreciation or a compliment? Why did she sound so strange.

Sixi on the side saw this girl's inexplicable face, and smiled in his heart, thinking about the emperor's methods, this girl is still too tender.

When the courtiers were surging just now, the six princes, who were elegantly behaved, kept holding a wine glass in his hand and playing, and from time to time glanced faintly at Chu Feifei, who was hidden behind the imperial brother.

In fact, Chu Feifei's current position is inconspicuous, if he is in the inner palace, the person kneeling in this position is usually the palace maid who beats her shoulders and fans. So those palace concubines didn't react to Chu Feifei kneeling there.

But the sixth prince knew the temperament of the imperial brother, and if he was not a person who completely trusted him, he would never allow Chu Feifei to stay there. To be continued
