Chapter 183 Ascended to the Throne of Concubine
Qin Tianhao has merit in investigating corruption, Qin Shujiu must have taken advantage of the situation to get Liqing's favor, this matter has long been clear in the palace, but no one has ever guessed that the reward given by Liqing will be promoted to the concubine position. Before, he was still disliked by others, but now he has become a concubine, but people have to sigh at Qin Shujiu's wrist. Even Empress Zheng can't calm down now, so she took advantage of Qin Shujiu's Jin Feng to summon the harem concubines into the Qingning Palace, and it was also a chat.
The queen mother congratulated her in person, how could Qin Shujiu not be grateful, she accepted the will and then went to the Qingning Palace. This time, Queen Zheng not only summoned Qin Shujiu, but also Concubine Lin Shujiu and Concubine Lide, as for the other concubines in the palace and the first newcomers in the palace, they were also summoned to the Qingning Palace, and they had nothing to do to talk about the banquet.
On the surface, it was just a casual banquet, but in fact, it was not to take advantage of the situation to congratulate Qin Shujiu on his ascension, sitting on the top of the hall and looking at Qin Shujiu with a smile, Empress Zheng said with a smile: "My sister is virtuous and virtuous, and now she is a concubine. After speaking, he bowed his head, but he smiled and congratulated, that is, when he saw Empress Zheng, Qin Shujiu got up and saluted, and then answered.
"Inheriting the reputation of the mother, how can the concubine He De be on the same list as the two sisters. The concubine is still young, and her experience and experience are insufficient, and she hopes that Niangniang and her two sisters will not dislike it and teach more in the future. Even if she said this compliment, Qin Shujiu did not change her usual humility. It's just that this humility didn't make people look at it when they entered the palace, but now when they look at it like this, the more people look at it, the more uncomfortable their hearts are. It was Qin Shujiu who squinted his eyes and swept away the bows, and Concubine Lide snorted coldly directly.
"My concubine is very humble, but she is still young and not qualified enough? You don't think so. How can you be humble, what can you do, what Concubine Miao said, when she heard it with the ears of this palace, she always felt a little strange. ”
At the beginning, it was because of Qin Shujiu's bad relationship with Concubine Hou Xian that Concubine Lide didn't make a move on her, and later after taking down Concubine Hou Xian, she suffered many disasters, seeing that Qin Shujiu had no possibility of turning over, and after she was punished, Liqing's mind did not fall on her. Thinking about Liqing, she treats her like an ordinary concubine, and once she loses interest, she is also an old thing that can be discarded. It's not that he has other thoughts, so he doesn't bother to take care of her anymore. Who knows that this Qin Shujiu is like a spark falling into the ashes, it can't be extinguished, and in the end, it can even set off such a wave and reverse such a situation.
It is to tell Concubine Lide, the more she thinks about it, the more angry she feels in her heart. However, it is rare to have a little remorse, regretting that Qin Shujiu did not take her life when she fell into power, and now it is simply done.
Listening to Concubine Lide's words, she knew that she now regarded Qin Shujiu as a thorn in her side, and if she didn't pull her out, she would not be able to feel at ease. Concubine Lide's dislike also understood. It's just that no one in this hall responded, but she pretended not to hear the irony, and Empress Zheng opened her mouth and smiled.
"My sister has both ability and political integrity, and it is a matter of time before she is promoted to a concubine, and her majesty has this mind early, if it weren't for the fact that she encountered it before, she was only afraid of relying on her sister's favoritism, and she would have been promoted. My sister was able to enter the throne of the first palace, and the heart of the palace was also very happy, but I felt that I had wronged my sister, and His Majesty's will was really sudden. The weekly gifts needed for this concubine are not enough to be dotted, and the sister who is too simple should not go to her heart. ”
Empress Zheng's words are a little embarrassing, and at the moment, Qin Shujiu also ignored the irony in Concubine Lide's words, and bowed to Empress Zheng: "Niangniang's words have tormented the concubines, and His Majesty has already decreed that everything in the palace should be simple, that is, everything is now, and there are many details that can be reduced under the careful calculation of the concubine's Zhou etiquette." Abandoning complexity and simplifying, the concubines feel that it is more appropriate, that is, His Majesty is afraid that the queen is also afraid that the queen is in possession, and it is even the model of the harem of the mother's etiquette. ”
After a word, he not only replied to Empress Zheng's words. It was also praised along with the reputation, but it also made Concubine Lide sneer again, and then said: "My concubine is just able to speak, this queen originally felt that she had made Concubine Concubine's gift so shabby, and she couldn't get over it in her heart." Who knew that the concubine was so sweet that she replied to the queen's words in three or two sentences, and even took advantage of the situation to compliment and admire, but Min Si made the palace amazed. ”
has always been lazy and lazy and doesn't care about anything, but Concubine Lide has a lot of words today, and she also made Concubine Lin Shu, who was sitting next to her, into her heart. When it was a laugh.
"Sister Concubine De is interested today, in the past, the queen mother passed on the gathering and chatting and talked about most of the time when she saw her sister refusing to come, but today there is Yaxing, not only invited to the banquet set up by the queen mother, but also talked a lot, but made my sister feel happy and nervous." After finishing speaking, she smiled, Concubine Lin looked at Concubine Lide with warm eyes, Mo looked at Concubine Lin Shufei's words sounded like idle chat, in fact, it was just a mockery of Concubine Lide.
Originally, I was unhappy in my heart, but now that the suffocation has not disappeared, I asked Concubine Lin Shufei to take advantage of the situation to sarcastically say a few words, Concubine Lide's heart is even more gloomy, that is, even her complexion has changed, and she directly greeted Concubine Lin Shufei's smile, and Concubine Lide snorted in a deep voice: "It is indeed rare for the queen to invite this palace to come, but even if it is rare to come, at least this palace still ordered someone to pass the word, and she was not interested in saying directly." It's not like Concubine Shu, who is unwell every time she is invited, but she is very sick. What is the matter with this weak body today? Good for it? Could it be that the imperial physician of the Hanxiang Hall had drawn up some new prescription, but it was so that Concubine Shu's body would be seen so quickly. ”
These two concubines insist on saying that there is a bit of similarity in their bones, that is, Queen Zheng's invitation always asks them to decline. Concubine Lide was reluctant to intersect too much with Empress Zheng, because she was disdainful in her heart, and she looked down on Empress Zheng in her bones. As for Concubine Lin Shu, the root cause is not very thorough.
In the past, when the concubines got together, Concubine Lide always looked at each other and hated each other, and they were sarcastic to each other, so they felt comfortable, but they never thought that now that the Hou family is declining, but Concubine Lin Shu, who has always been virtuous, argued with Concubine Lide, which also made people feel a little weird.
There has never been a person in the palace who is really good, and if someone goes down today, someone will rise up tomorrow to fight with you, and it will be endless. This kind of Tibetan sarcasm Empress Zheng has long been accustomed to it, but she didn't rush to break the good character of the second concubine, so she sipped tea and waited on the side before she said loudly: "Sister Shufei's body is good or bad, sometimes it is good, sometimes it is not happy, and it is normal that she can't be invited. Concubine De's sister's sexual womb is known, and she has never liked these, and it is also a matter of early clarity in my heart that this palace will invite you to refuse again. The two sisters don't need to mention this. ”
Today, if you talk too much about such a feast, it will inevitably make people feel that there is a side meaning, so don't say it. Even if Empress Zheng opened her mouth, it was not easy to refute her face in public. Even if you close the silence, you can be regarded as selling the queen's face. The chin nodded her head, seeing that the two concubines were all sipping tea and did not say anything, Empress Zheng nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Qin Shujiu and said.
"There have always been four first-class concubines in the harem, and the palace has been blessed by His Majesty's grace and now for the sake of the queen, the Hou family has been defeated again, and it has ended miserably. Among the concubines, there are only two younger sisters left in Shude. The concubine position is vacant, and now His Majesty has decreed that he will be promoted to his sister, and how to do it should be a big deal if he does the gift of his sister. It's just that my sister also knows that this canonization of the concubine ceremony is due to lack of time, and secondly, because of ......"
At this point, there was a slight pause, and the words of Wei Dun and the face of Wei Dun were all things of that moment, and Emperor Zheng continued: "There have always been only four concubines in the palace, that is, each concubine canonized is courteous, and the Zhou rites left by the ancestors can be learned from the same, and many twists and turns can be avoided. But what His Majesty sealed this time is neither the position of a noble concubine nor the position of a virtuous concubine. is the only one who is crowned a concubine with the title of his sister. There is really no such precedent for the ancestor of the fourth concubine, but the palace has no opinion for a while, and the more aggrieved the younger sister. ”
Everyone in the palace is polite to follow, even if Liqing's will comes suddenly, it will not make the canonization ceremony too simple, but Qin Shujiu is a big special case, Liqing for her is to ignore the ancestral law, and set up an exclusive position for her concubine, but it also makes people see that Qin Shujiu has a very special and unusual position in Liqing's heart. Empress Zheng's words, on the surface, were just to sigh that Qin Shujiu had been wronged on the ceremony, but they fell into the ears of those who had a heart. But it was enough to make their eyes freeze and their hearts gloomy.
Seeing that Empress Zheng's voice was behind, Concubine Lide, who was lazy to settle down, couldn't stand it at this time, and was reclining on the chair. said coldly: "What the queen said is that my sister and I have a temperament like me who want to complain about the queen." Grievance? My sister I didn't feel wronged by the concubine, and His Majesty specially set up a special position for her concubine, which is the greatest honor. Even though the canonization ceremony is a little more vulgar, but the favor of His Majesty is no matter how big Jane it is
It's so much to come. Who can say that Qin Shujiu is a wronged master? Qin Shu's drunken harem jumped into a phoenix, and Qin Tianhao's previous dynasty repeatedly shared Liqing's worries and won Liqing's trust, and this Qin father and daughter are now regarded as people who cannot be underestimated in the court.
Concubine Lide's words were also a one-sided needle for Qin Shujiu's special position as a concubine, and it also made Empress Zheng understand what she meant, so she nodded her head and said: "It's also reasonable to ask Concubine De's sister to say so." After finishing speaking, she looked at Qin Shujiu again, and Empress Zheng seemed to have just found that Qin Shujiu was still standing there with a courtesy, so she was busy speaking.
"Look at the memory of this palace, this ******** are all recorded in the grievances of the canonization, but I ignored my sister's current grievances, and actually asked my sister to still stand. Sister sit down quickly, if she is tired and calls her majesty, she will be blamed for her fear. ”
Empress Zheng is more precious than the mother of a country, such words are really not what a person of her status should say, as soon as this statement comes out, who knows how many people will be kept in their hearts, even Qin Shujiu's heart is also heavy because of Empress Zheng's laughter. Although his heart had sunk, Qin Shujiu still pretended to be as usual. Seeing Qin Shujiu sit down, Empress Zheng looked at the concubines sitting next to her.
This glance swept over and finally fell on Master Weng, seeing Master Weng sitting on the seat with his eyes down, not knowing what to think, Empress Zheng's heart moved slightly and then said: "What is Weng Jieyu thinking? The sudden inquiry startled Master Weng, and then turned around and got up and saluted, Master Weng said: "Queen Mother, the concubine didn't think about anything, but somehow suddenly remembered Sister Su in a trance, that is, she lost her soul and lost her manners in front of her, and hoped that Niangniang would forgive her sins." After speaking, he was about to kneel and kowtow, but when he saluted, he asked Empress Zheng to excuse herself, and moved her hand to signal her to get up, and Empress Zheng spoke.
"How can this good student remember Su Chongyuan? But also, Weng Jieyu and Su Chongyuan have a deep sisterhood, and now that Su Chongyuan is gone, Weng Jieyu will think of it and think about it. Such a deep sisterhood is so gratifying that this palace looks at it. ”
Su Die treated Master Weng well when he was alive, and Empress Zheng's words were of course, even when she saw Empress Zheng's words and saw Master Weng's extremely sad appearance, Qin Shujiu couldn't help but feel cold in her heart. When he laughed coldly in his heart, he smelled Empress Zheng and said again,
"By the way, this palace remembers that the friendship between my sister and Weng Jieyu is also good, when Qin Taiwei was trapped, Weng Jieyu often visited her sister, and my sister and Weng Jieyu were also sisters. Now that my sister has sealed the concubine and moved to the palace, this is a little rusty with Weng Jieyu, and it is rare to see Weng Jieyu accompanied by her sister in the palace. ”
After saying this, she looked at Qin Shujiu, and there was a bit of inquiry in her words, since Qin Shujiu was restored and returned, there was no sisterhood between her and Master Weng. Before, she was just a suspicion in her heart, but after the matter of competing for favor, Qin Shujiu was already a sure that Weng's master's heart was not as good as it was back then, and now she is afraid that she is also a master who can do everything to climb up. Seeing Empress Zheng's inquiry, Qin Shujiu just got up and smiled slightly, and then said something on his face, but it was Master Weng who saw and heard it, and was busy replying.
"Sister Miao canonized as a concubine, the things in the palace should be complicated, and the concubine is also afraid of going to the meeting to add her sister's hard work, so she doesn't dare to go rashly, and she hasn't spoken to her sister for a long time." After speaking, she saw that Empress Zheng nodded clearly, and then said: "In this way, it should be said, but the matter of this concubine is cumbersome and tight, but Weng Jieyu is careful and knows how to be compassionate." ”
is that when the words fell, I saw Concubine Lide's smile again, and this laughter made this Empress Zheng feel upset, and then looked at her and asked; "Sister Defei, what's going on? But what did this palace say made my sister find interesting? After the inquiry, he saw Concubine Lide sitting on the seat and moved slightly, and then answered.
"It's not the queen's words that made the concubine laugh."
"It's not the words of this palace, but my sister is laughing at something, just say it." After answering the question, Empress Zheng looked at Concubine Lide, and Concubine Lide replied: "It's not a big deal, but I just remembered some things suddenly, but when I saw Weng Jieyu say this now, I felt inexplicably funny." ”
"Oh? What's the matter? ”
The words under the inquiry, the slight glance, glanced at Weng Jieyu who owed the salute there, and Concubine Lide said coldly: "Weng Jieyu seems to be afraid of adding to the hard work after the promotion of the concubine, so she didn't go to the palace." This palace can remember that since the concubine entered the Tanting Courtyard, Weng Jieyu seemed to have broken off the relationship with the concubine, and did not go to visit once, but Liao Zhaorong still talked about the love of the first palace, and occasionally sent supplies to the concubine. ”
After the words were spoken, the eyes had already moved from Weng Jieyu's body to Liao Zhaorong's body. Liao Zhaorong helped Qin Shujiu because of pity, but this pity seemed to have inadvertently offended Concubine Lide. It was also called Concubine Lide's cold glance that made her heart tremble slightly, and Liao Zhaorong just got up and bowed without saying anything.
The pattern in the palace has been reversed, and the already collapsed situation is now completely collapsed, that is, who wins and who loses depends on the next wrist. (To be continued.) )
