Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Favorite Concubine
Hao Shumei recently moved to the palace, not because he was not favored and was replaced by a side hall, but because he was too favored, and he wanted what Emperor Mingde would give.
Now that the queen is in charge of the palace, this Hao Shumei still has the ability to divide equally, and although there are fewer knots in the palace, her palace gate is still endless.
There are no beauties in the palace, but those who can be favored are Hao Shumei, who has been in the palace for many years, although she has nothing to do, but she has always been a favorite concubine.
Concubine Ning took Huanzi, got down, looked up at the three words 'Chonghua Palace', the paint on the handwriting was brand new, and it also exuded a unique fragrance, Concubine Ning just glanced at it, and knew that it was from the hand of Emperor Mingde.
She sighed, "The emperor's words are not as many as when she was young." The voice was so soft that even Huanzi couldn't hear it.
When the eunuch guarding the door saw Concubine Ning, he saluted from afar and ran to report it.
After a while, Hao Shumei greeted him in person, "My sister is here." "Sister Zhangkoupo, there is no psychological barrier, and I don't know how she did it.
Concubine Ning knew that Hao Shumei was pleased with her son, but she didn't know how far she had got, and now she had to rely on her for everything, so she pretended not to know.
She suppressed the jealousy and unhappiness surging in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face, "How did my sister move to such a distant place?" ”
"It's just quiet." Hao Shumei was a little more sincere and close to Concubine Ning, leading Concubine Ning all the way in.
The newly cleaned up palace should have the same as it should be, and even more luxurious than the original, which cannot be compared with other places.
"This is iced tea, sister drink a cup to relieve the heat." She greeted Concubine Ning cordially, but Concubine Ning looked at the gold brocade curtain in a daze, such a one-foot gauze curtain is afraid that it will cost ten thousand gold, not to mention hanging all over the courtyard, the wind is blowing and fluttering, and the hand touches it, and there is a coolness.
It's really extravagant.
"Sister." Concubine Ning screamed again, her face was a little unsightly, although Concubine Ning was Zhao Bi's mother, she was not qualified to pose in front of her.
Without her Hao Shumei, what is Concubine Ning?
Concubine Ning knew that she was out of shape, so she hurriedly apologized, "Look at me, I was sucked by the scenery here of my sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Hao Shumei pulled out a faint smile, leaned on the soft pillow, and admired her green jade hands, "Sister has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's talk about it, what's the matter." "I was going to ask about Zhao Bi's news, but now I don't plan to take the initiative to ask, Concubine Ning found her left and right, all for Zhao Bi's business.
Concubine Ning and Hao Shumei have lived in the palace together for so many years, and they don't know her temper, so they immediately smiled and said, "Sister Fang just came out of Cining Palace." ”
Speaking of the Queen Mother, Hao Shumei glanced at her and didn't answer, but she gritted her teeth because of the hatred of the Queen Mother, forced by the son of King Yong, and the protection of Emperor Mingde, the Queen Mother tolerated her until now, if not, I am afraid that the Queen Mother would have taken her to feed the wild dogs.
"The emperor asked all the princes to study behind closed doors, seeing that the war is about to break out, it is a good time to make contributions, and Bi'er is also difficult now." She refused to beg Hao Shumei directly.
However, Hao Shumei was basically very active in Zhao Bi's matter, she sat up straight, "The Queen Mother didn't agree?" ”
"Yes." Concubine Ning felt a little embarrassed, she had worked hard all her life, but in the end she still couldn't get her mother-in-law's liking.
If Hao Shumei knew that she thought like this, she would definitely laugh, a concubine still wants to be liked by her mother-in-law? In the eyes of others, it's just the mother-in-law of the main palace, how old are you?
Naturally, she doesn't care at all, a concubine is not a concubine, just live as she wants, look at her, isn't she a concubine? What is Masamiya in front of her? Still polite?
"What does my sister want me to do, just say it." Hao Shumei snorted coldly, "The Queen Mother is an old immortal." ”
Dare to scold the Queen Mother like this, dare to go against the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that there is only Hao Shumei, and Concubine Ning can't do it if she is killed.
Concubine Ning felt that she couldn't stay in this place for a moment, she was inferior to others everywhere, she handed over a letter, which was written by Zhao Bi, "Please also ask my sister to bother more." ”
Hao Shumei took the letter and nodded, Concubine Ning hurried back, she gasped for breath after walking out of Chonghua Palace, and Huanzi was distressed for her.
"Niangniang, the concubine has that temper, you just have to endure it, and when our Royal Highness is out, don't you want her to do anything?" Huanzi whispered with relief.
Concubine Ning laughed at herself, "You don't understand, even if this palace becomes the queen mother in the future, let her kneel at the feet of this palace, this palace will not be happy." ”
"Concubine Hao is too arrogant, and most of the arrogant people don't end well." Huanzi didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only pick up this sentence.
Concubine Ning shook her head, "The emperor likes her arrogant appearance, even if she doesn't end well in the future, she will not give in in this life." ”
"I don't know what the emperor likes about her." There are more beautiful people in the palace, and Concubine Hao has become more prosperous in recent years, not as good as in previous years.
Concubine Ning walked slowly, "The emperor has a pimple in his heart, and he complains about the queen mother, but no one in the palace dares to do anything to the queen mother, but she dares to go against the queen mother, and she has no heirs, so the emperor naturally favors her." ”
"In this way, you don't have to mind, Niangniang, Concubine Hao didn't have the emperor's sincerity." Huanzi has followed Concubine Ning all her life, how can she not know what she wants in her heart?
It's just that she wants to get the heart of Emperor Mingde, she was born in a family, knows how to read and write, and looks dignified and delicate, but Emperor Mingde seems to be invisible, and the number of times she is fortunate is only a handful.
The women of the harem are competing for the same man, but this man's heart is very stingy and never willing to take it out lightly.
"Over the years, who have you seen the emperor favor? can be the emperor's favorite concubine for so many years, even if she can't get her sincerity, what if she can't do it? She did what the harem women didn't do. ”
Thinking of her, three hundred and sixty days a year, the number of times she shares a bed with the emperor is not as much as that of others for half a month.
Hao Shumei didn't have time to deal with Concubine Ning's unwillingness and sourness, she finished reading Zhao Bi's letter and sent someone to the Four Princes' Mansion to investigate.
After saving himself with Emperor Mingde at night, he said: "Your Majesty, the concubines have heard some rumors, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
"If you don't say it, don't talk about it." Emperor Mingde put his arms around her and closed his eyes.
Hearing this, Hao Shumei pushed Emperor Mingde away, "The emperor won't let me say it, and the concubines want to say it." ”
Emperor Mingde hugged him in his arms again, still with his eyes closed, "Nonsense, where did I not let you say it, it was you who said it or not." ”
"Your Majesty, you are bad." He lightly hammered Emperor Mingde's chest with his pink fist, only hammering Emperor Mingde to the point of wanting to correct her on the spot again.
But he is old, he can't overdo it, and he will go to court early tomorrow, so he grabbed Hao Shumei's hand, "Let's talk about it, I won't let you let me settle down." ”
Hao Shumei spoke, nested in Emperor Mingde's arms, and his fingers were twisted and wound, "The concubines heard that the princes of the princes' mansions are all calling friends in the mansion, and the sheng songs are continuous, if the concubines want to interfere in politics, there are many places in Jiangnan and Shuzhong, and the emperor is so worried that you don't think about tea and dinner, but the princes don't think about your reputation, and the concubines are angry." ”
Emperor Mingde didn't have any expression on his face, but he pushed Hao Shumei away.
The next day, Emperor Mingde asked Liang Yunsi to check, and sure enough, the princes were all feasting guests and friends in the mansion, chanting poems against each other, so they were not extravagant, and they were immediately furious.
"Your Majesty, not all princes are like this, it was the fourth princess who first invited her little sisters to come over to eat wine and enjoy the flowers, and the other princes rushed to follow suit." Liang Yunsi said in a low voice.
Emperor Mingde sneered, "These things that are not worrying, let's find them out, ******** want to go up, don't you know that it is the best policy to stand still at the moment." ”
Originally, he wanted to solve the kings and families first, and then let the sons decide the winner, but he didn't expect that they were all unconscious, which was really a waste of his hard work.
"Please ask the emperor to command."
Emperor Mingde did not answer, and Ti Zhu pen personally wrote a few holy decrees.
After the holy decree was written, it was handed over to Liang Yunsi, and when Liang Yunsi saw that the holy decree was the same content, he was horrified in his heart, and he didn't know what Emperor Mingde was going to do. (To be continued.) )
