() When I was in the Imperial Garden today, the emperor compared the cuttlefish to a begonia flower, and laughed at her as "Flower Concubine", which was originally just a joke, but the speaker had no intention of listening, but the person who said it was intentional, and this matter was passed to the ears of Concubine Xi by a palace person who was present at the time, and it was exaggerated with added oil and vinegar, which made Concubine Xi feel very uncomfortable after hearing it.

In order to get more rewards, the palace man deliberately changed the flavor of the matter, so that it could be counted as important news, so that Concubine Xi would pay attention to it, and the reward would be more.

As soon as Concubine Xi heard the word "concubine", her heart was immediately pinched, she has been looking forward to this position for several years, but she has never gained half a point, there has never been a concubine in the harem, but the emperor would rather let this position be vacant than promote her as a concubine, how can she not be angry! Now, the emperor is willing to call the cuttlefish "concubine", and now Concubine Zixi finally can't sit still, she is really worried that one day, the cuttlefish will fly to her head all at once.

When the judgment continues, she will suffer from it, and Concubine Xi has made up her mind to make the cuttlefish disappear from her eyes, and she can no longer threaten her status.

After getting along for many years, the emperor can be regarded as understanding Concubine Xi's bones, he can see Concubine Xi's firmness this time, and knows that she will not back down, he can't help but hesitate, and is still thinking about whether to let Concubine Xi investigate.

Seeing that the emperor bowed her head and thought silently, Concubine Xi hurriedly urged, "Your Majesty, the concubine is worried about you, worried about Aixin Jueluo's bloodline, you don't want to spoil a fake concubine!" As long as this matter is handed over to the Zongren Mansion to find out, the concubine and you can rest assured, if there is no problem with Su Guiren, then it is okay to check it. There was an impatient anticipation in her eyes, and she wanted to reveal the true identity of the cuttlefish immediately.

After hearing this, the emperor glanced at Concubine Xi in disgust, and sighed in his heart, Zongren Mansion? If the Zongren Mansion is really asked to investigate this matter, it will definitely leak the news, so that everyone in the palace will know that there is a problem with the identity of the cuttlefish, and it will definitely attract criticism at that time.

At the beginning, the emperor also had doubts about cuttlefish. But in order not to let others know, he just sent spies to investigate, and did not alarm the Zongren Mansion, as long as he informed the Zongren Mansion of anything. That's a big deal. The emperor didn't want to do this at the beginning, and now he doesn't want to!

"It seems that Concubine Xi must have been idle recently, and you have to care about even a concubine who was beaten into the cold palace by me, and you have to make such a big deal for a few words from her, hum." The emperor's face is not very good-looking. He said coldly, "Well, since you can't put your mind at ease, then notify the Zongren Mansion to investigate, lest you have trouble sleeping at night because of this, and you don't know what moths will come out of when the time comes." ”

Concubine Xi was stunned for a moment, and realized that the emperor's words seemed to blame her, but at the same time, the emperor also agreed to her request and agreed to let her thoroughly investigate the identity of the cuttlefish, which was enough.

She looked at the emperor's displeased cold face. sighed secretly: The palace maid is the palace maid, how can she tolerate her flying on the branches again and again to snatch the phoenix throne, as long as her secret is exposed, she can be put to death, and even the emperor will not be able to save her at that time!

The purpose has been achieved, Concubine Xi got up and saluted and was about to leave the Heart Cultivation Palace, but suddenly, the emperor stopped her again.

"Wait, why are you in such a hurry, I haven't finished my words yet."

And so it goes. Concubine Xi had no choice but to stop and sit back on her seat, not knowing what the emperor was going to say again.

The emperor looked at her dressed in a gorgeous dress and wearing a phoenix pattern on her head. I suddenly felt uncomfortable, the phoenix can only match the lord of the harem, that is, the queen, even if she is the powerful Concubine Xi, she should not be used.

He didn't want to look at Concubine Xi anymore, so he turned his face sideways and looked out the window. said slowly, "You said you wanted to check, then I will let you check, but this is not child's play, what if you make a mistake?" If Su Guiren's identity was not a problem, then wouldn't such a toss make her feel wronged. ”

Concubine Xi disagreed, and retorted, "Just because this is not child's play, we should pay more attention to it, and it is not a grievance against her." ”

As soon as he heard this, the emperor immediately raised his voice and said dissatisfiedly: "Oh? According to you, I can also ask someone to check your identity with great fanfare another day? You have a higher position, and you have given birth to a prince for me, so you should be more cautious, once you are not the daughter of the Niu Hulu family, but an impostor! ”

The emperor is obviously arguing with strong words, Concubine Xi blushed after hearing this, but she didn't know how to refute, she was Concubine Xi, how could she also be investigated, if this is the case, then she will be laughed at by the people in the harem, and she will lose some prestige from now on.

She sighed, "The concubine is the Niu Hulu clan, there is no need to doubt this, since the emperor feels that this move has wronged Su Guiren, it is a big deal to give her some compensation." ”

This is very much in line with the emperor's wishes, he agreed, "You are right, you should give her some compensation, she is not short of gold, silver and jewelry, then it is better to promote her to a position, there are still vacancies in the concubine position in the palace, I want to promote her to the concubine position, you see how it is." ”

Not long ago, the cuttlefish was named Su Guiren, and now the emperor wants to let her be promoted to another level, which seems to be a bit too much. There are rules to follow for the promotion of palace concubines, if in a short period of time, no dragon species was born, and there was no merit for the royal family, it stands to reason that they should not be sealed.

Concubine Xi looked at the emperor and did not object, and replied generously: "If the identity of Su Guiren is ascertained, as long as the emperor is happy, there is naturally no problem in giving her a promotion, and of course the concubine has no objection." She didn't say anything about this, because she was convinced that she could find out the fake identity of the cuttlefish this time, and there was no need for compensation at all.

After listening, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his head and said no more. Seeing this, Concubine Xi also bowed and retired, leaving the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After Concubine Xi left, the emperor immediately called Gonggong Su, and his anxious appearance was completely different from the calmness when he talked to Concubine Xi just now, "Su Peisheng! Su Peisheng! Come in! ”

When Gonggong Su heard this, he took three steps and took two steps, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

The emperor looked anxious and worried, "Did you hear what Concubine Xi said just now?" Concubine Xi is a character who refuses to give up until she achieves her goal, you also know it, I am a little worried. ”

Su Peisheng thought thoughtfully, "Don't panic, the emperor can come to you to discuss the investigation of Su Guiren, instead of directly putting the evidence and conclusions in front of you, then presumably she has not been able to control the whole situation, so she wants the Zongren Mansion to intervene." As for the Zongren Mansion, you can rest assured that the errand you gave to the old slave before has been properly handled, and there will be no variables in this matter. (To be continued.) )
