Chapter 257: Substitutes
In less than a month, Concubine Jin changed her dormitory and moved to a palace very close to the Queen Mother, and she was the only one who lived alone, and there were no other low-level concubines living with her.
There are many discussions in the harem, most people think that it is because of the support of the queen mother, although everyone is very jealous, but they can still figure it out, on the qualifications of Concubine Jin is the old man of the palace, even before the queen served the emperor, Concubine Jin's status is indeed not high, but it depends on who to compare with, and the concubine is not good, but the father is now also a civil official in the court, compiling books in the Hanlin Academy, and the power and connections are indeed not as good as the Chen family, but it is also a Qingliu faction, and it is not ashamed.
And they also raised a sensible son, and he also occupies the name of the eldest son, and he is not weak.
Jealousy is that she has been addicted to her mouth, but she doesn't dare to provoke, this woman has not been favored for many years and raised her son by herself, and now she says that she will turn over, and the energy in it is not small, and she can't be provoked.
Only the queen's anger almost crooked nose, Concubine Jin was promoted and she was about to say goodbye to the queen.
A plain skirt, the upper skirt is a lotus-colored large-sleeved shirt, and the lower body is a lilac-colored skirt, embroidered with folded branches and red plums, which is slightly cold on her body, but her face still does not change, and she is as beautiful as the sun.
"The concubine greets the queen, and the queen is well." The words are simple and neat, and the demeanor is cold.
The queen stared at the woman who asked for peace at the bottom hatefully, eager to eat it alive, the hatred in her eyes was like substance, if she could, she would want to pull Concubine Jin out and execute Ling Chi to relieve the resentment in her heart.
"It's rare that you've made it through. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's pity on you, I'm afraid you wouldn't know how long you would stay in the cold palace. "The queen can't even care about face.
"What the queen said is very true, it is indeed the queen mother who is pitiful to her old man. It's my blessing, and it's also Xing'er's blessing, but the place where I live is not a cold palace, the queen must have made a mistake, the emperor never said that he wanted me to enter the cold palace, right? The queen naturally wished I was in the cold palace, but unfortunately, I was still alive and well. Concubine Jin said and raised her hand and gently stroked her still delicate and delicate face. There was a seductive light in his eyes.
This openly provocative gesture almost scolded the angry queen, but she couldn't help but rush up and tear her face.
The other concubines saw that they were silent, and bowed their heads and pretended to be quails. Don't dare to compete with it, the young concubines don't know the inside story, but some seniority of the old people know that Concubine Jin is the queen's big trouble, if it weren't for Concubine Jin's own coldness to the emperor's approach. It is impossible for the queen to have seven princes. With Concubine Jin's means and appearance, no one in the harem can compete, let alone today's concubine.
Only a few people can guess a little in their hearts, the eyes of the concubine and the eyes of Concubine Jin look very similar, especially like Concubine Jin when she was young, it is the same dependence, the same pure eyes, it is really too similar.
It didn't take long for Ann to disperse. It is useless for the queen to be depressed, and she doesn't want to say anything more to these women when she is in a bad mood. With a wave of his hand, he let it go.
In addition to the queen's Kunning Palace, Concubine Shu stopped and called Concubine Jin, "Sister Jin, I'll go to greet the Queen Mother, will you go?" β
Concubine Jin smiled in return, "Let's go together, I'm going to thank the Queen Mother." β
"Okay, my sister looks much better, congratulations." Concubine Shu said with a smile.
"Thank you sister for your help over the years, Jin'er has it in mind, if my sister doesn't dislike my simplicity, she has time to go to my place and have a cup of tea." Concubine Jin is a person with clear grievances, and there is no intermediate color in her world.
"Okay, I will definitely go over when I have time, I often talk about Buddhist scriptures with the Queen Mother, and you often come over when you are free, the Queen Mother is a very good person, but she just looked at Yan SΓΉ a little."
The relationship between Concubine Shu and Concubine Jin is not far away, when Concubine Jin was not favored in the past, she needed to raise her son alone, which also experienced a lot of hardships and hardships, the servants in the palace were all watching people cook, and Concubine Shu met several times to help, Concubine Jin remembered this kindness.
"Okay, I know that the Queen Mother is a fair character, but I'm embarrassed to disturb the Queen Mother." Concubine Jin smiled bitterly.
"It's okay, this time it was the Queen Mother who took the initiative to mention that she would give you a promotion, and the Queen Mother actually didn't mind you, and she mentioned Brother Xing to me many times." Concubine Shu is talking about the eldest prince Zhou Xing.
Concubine Jin lowered her head, her voice a little low, "I know, it was the Queen Mother and his old man who secretly took care of our mother and son all these years, otherwise the grass on the grave of our mother and son doesn't know how high it is, and I am ashamed to see the Queen Mother." β
"Hey! After so many years, you should let go, what happened back then was not one person's fault, the son is so old, he needs a father. "Concubine Shu came out of the palace, and she can understand Concubine Jin's sadness and grievances.
I was drugged and framed for innocence at the most difficult time, and what I needed most was for my husband to stand up for justice and give her the most favorable support, but the emperor couldn't do it in the end, which made the woman who was full of dependence and trust in him embarrassed!
The deeper the love, the more unrelieved it becomes, everyone understands this truth, but few people can see it.
Concubine Jin was silent, not knowing what to say, although time has passed, but the wound is still painful like bone marrow.
"Hey! Forget it, I won't talk about your big day, let's go, let's go to the Queen Mother to say goodbye, the Queen Mother has been obsessed with storytelling recently, and often waits for the fourth child to tell her books. β
"Doesn't Miss Pearl often enter the palace recently?" Concubine Jin doesn't pay much attention to things outside, and she doesn't have much contact with anyone to raise her son behind closed doors.
"Is the girl older, naturally it's not good to go into the palace and walk around again, do you know about the seventh child some time ago?" Concubine Shu asked in a low voice, and the two of them didn't sit in a sedan chair, so they walked together and talked.
"It seems that I heard Brother Xing say that the seventh brother was slapped in the face by someone, and he came back excitedly to talk to me." Concubine Jin is really a straight person, and she bluntly told everyone that she and the queen's party are mortal enemies.
Concubine Shu laughed, looked left and right and saw that no one lowered her voice and said: "Lao Qi Xiao wants Mingzhu, his attitude is arrogant and rude, which angers Mingzhu and makes people slap him, but the emperor also rewarded Mingzhu, and now everyone knows that Lao Qi was slapped in the face." The joy and excitement in his voice could not be concealed.
"Humph! Deserve! What good children can such a person raise? Concubine Jin scoffed, undisguised her disgust.
"During this time, the emperor was very busy, and he didn't have time to take care of him, and everyone below was rumoring that Lao Qi had fallen out of favor, to be honest, Lao Qi was a little too vicious, even his own sister could teach him a lesson, and he almost killed Shuyi, which really sent chills down his spine!" Concubine Shu also sighed a little.
"Humph! Look, the emperor is a very thoughtful person, and if he hates a person, he may not just show it on his face, let's just watch the play, the emperor hates fratricide the most. "Concubine Jin can be said to be the person who knows the emperor best. (To be continued.) )
ps: Concubine Jin appeared, is the concubine too favorable?
