The historian said: Heaven is called the emperor's heaven, and the earth is called Houtu, so the wife of the Son of Heaven will be called in the future, and the Kun Palace will be the queen's residence in the Kunning Palace. In the ninth year of Emperor Chongde, the owner of Kunning Palace was Emperor Chongde's successor Xie Zi.

At this moment, Concubine Shu, Concubine De, Lin Jieyu and An Jieyu and other concubines were talking to Queen Xie Zi with respect, and each of them responded with twelve points of spirit, no one dared to ignore it here in Kunning Palace, even if Queen Xie Zi was so young.

Xie Zi is from the side branch of the Chen Liuxie clan, and it has been more than two years since he was canonized, and he is only eighteen years old now. At this age, he is exactly the same age as the seven princes born by Concubine Shu, which makes Concubine Niangniang's heart mixed.

Even if Xie Zi was so young, Concubine Shu had to bend down to salute her, and every big festival, she had to dress up and kneel to her, because Xie Zi was the master of Kunning Palace, and she was the woman who could stand side by side with Emperor Chongde.

Concubine Shu looked at Xie Zi's delicate face, which was as beautiful as a flower, narrowed her eyes slightly, and strongly suppressed the unwillingness and jealousy surging in her heart. She knew that even if there was no Xie Zi, the position of queen would not be hers, but Xie Zi was so young, her family background was so good, and she was more and more favored by Emperor Chongde, how could she not be jealous of such a Queen Xie?

In this world, there are such people who can easily and casually get what others ask for in their lives. Even if Empress Xie has no heir, even if there is no hardship, she still firmly suppresses Concubine Shu. Seeing her so relaxed and casual, Concubine Shu always lamented the injustice of the world.

Concubine Shu has been by his side since Emperor Chongde was still a prince and has spent decades with him. also gave birth to two princes for him, so that he was able to become one of the four concubines. Although she is one of the four concubines, decades have passed, and she has aged in appearance, where can she compare to Xie Zi?

For men, color decay is relaxation, where is the old man better than the new man? Emperor Chongde is a man, and so is it.

For Concubine Shu, the only thing she can beat Xie Zi is that she has two princes. And these two princes grew up safely. It is also valued by Emperor Chongde.

And Xie Zi, who has been in the palace for more than two years, has no news about her belly, which is the most gratifying point for Concubine Shu. If Xie Zi gives birth to an heir. The benefits of this world. Didn't she take it all in? Fortunately. Fortunately.

Xie Zi is famous, but he has power, and there will always be a day. She'll hold Xie Zi down. In these dynasties, the queen is just an ornament, and there are many of them.

Queen Xie sat upright, and when she saw that the concubines were all respectfully bowing their heads, she was very satisfied, and there was also a hint of joy between her eyebrows. Whether the courtesy of these concubines is real or pretended, she doesn't care.

She knew from a young age that as long as she ascended to the highest position, the qiē next to her would not matter. Thinking of this, Xie Zi narrowed his eyes and said: "The palace summoned everyone here today because the Lingnan Mansion paid tribute to fresh fruits, and at this time, Jingzhao was no longer able to see fresh fruits and vegetables, so let everyone come and taste them." ”

As soon as her voice fell, the concubines felt as if something was crawling on their arms, and they couldn't help but tremble. It's not because Xie Zi's voice is bad, but Xie Zi's voice is so good, coquettish as if she can devour your heart and swallow your bones, which makes people's hearts numb.

Xie Zi's voice is a must, and her appearance is a must, obviously soft as boneless, but Xie Zi's appearance of sitting upright looks smooth, this contradictory feeling is precisely the most attractive part of her body, attracting people to explore.

"Concubines, thank you for the queen's ......," the concubines in Kunning Palace all replied in unison. Xie Zi invited all the concubines to Kunning Palace, this is not the first time, what to say, what posture to pose, the concubines are very clear.

After another thank-you salute, Queen Xie continued: "This time the palace summoned everyone, and there is another matter. Presumably, the emperor wants to choose a concubine for the three princes, and everyone knows it. This matter, yesterday the emperor has explained to the palace, if you think there is a suitable girl, you can say it in the palace. Especially the concubine, if you have a favorite person, you can also report it to the palace to know. ”

She was smiling, but the concubines below felt very embarrassed. Except for the three princes' biological mothers, Shufei, where are they qualified to make suggestions? The people in the palace were all human spirits, and they soon realized that this was Empress Xie elevating ordinary concubines to suppress concubines.

Concubine Shu is one of the four concubines, before Queen Xie entered the palace, she was in charge of the harp/palace, and there are two adult princes in hand, and the power is not far behind Queen Xie. If this latter concubine didn't fight in secret, it would be absolutely impossible.

"The matter of the third highness's choice of concubines, the emperor also mentioned it to his concubines. His Royal Highness is old, but the marriage has not yet been decided. This matter bothers the mother. Concubine Shu, who was named by Queen Xie, replied like this, her tone was respectful and dignified, and her temperament and aura were more like a queen than Xie Zi.

"What's there to thank for this, isn't the Third Highness also the emperor of the palace?" Empress Xie said lightly, her voice could not hear joy or anger. Isn't it? Even if the third prince is older than her, he still wants to bend down and salute her and call her "Queen Mother".

Based on this alone, Empress Xie firmly suppressed Concubine Shu.

The rest of the concubines were silent, eager to stay away from Kunning Palace. Everyone could see that sparks were flying between Empress Xie and Concubine Shu, and they were unwilling to mix with these two. I saw that in the Kunning Palace, the elderly Concubine De lowered her eyebrows and silently counted the Buddha beads, and the young beauties and talented people couldn't help but shrink their bodies.

When the concubines avoided Queen Xie and Concubine Shuniang, a voice asked timidly: "May I ask Niangniang, when will the family affairs of the Third Highness be decided?" ”

The one who asked was Dou Meiren, the biological mother of the fifth prince. She was anxious about the relatives of the three princes, and it was for the relatives of the five princes. She thought that it was best for the family affairs of the third prince to be decided as soon as possible. In this way, the family affairs of the five princes are not far away.

"The emperor means to do his best, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the palace province have also sent some lists, and they will be sent to the Zichen Palace in a few days." Empress Xie glanced at the Dou clan, but believed the explanation.

A timid and stupid person like Dou Shi, even if he knows something, is useless.

As soon as Concubine Shu heard Empress Xie's words, she immediately asked, "Qi Yu Niangniang." Can you take a look at this list? ”

It turns out that the province of the palace and the Ministry of Rites have sent a list, who are some people on this list, will there be some very poor people in it? The lady thought about this, but her expression became more and more calm. She has this ability, and the more nervous she is, the calmer her face becomes.

"Yinzhu, show that list to Concubine Shu." Empress Xie didn't have any embarrassment, and instructed the palace maid Yinzhu to hand the list to Concubine Shu, and she didn't bother to get stuck in Concubine Shu in this matter.

Concubine Shu took the list and looked at it, and saw the families listed above. They are all girls from the family of three officials and above. And these girls are all very famous in Jingzhao. It can be seen that this list is very pertinent, and the Ministry of Rites and Rites of the Temple were also very careful when drawing up this list.

But Xie Zi would be so kind. Do your best to find a good marriage for the emperor? - Concubine Shu thought. There was confusion and worry in his eyes.

But. Until she withdrew from Kunning Palace, Empress Xie didn't say anything about this list, but her attitude was gloomy. made Concubine Shu even more suspicious.

"Master, this list ...... Do you really let His Royal Highness seek this good family business? At night, Yinzhu was writing makeup remover for Queen Xie, and couldn't help asking.

She was originally Queen Xie's personal maidservant, and later followed Queen Xie into the palace, and the relationship between master and servant was extraordinary, so Yinzhu dared to ask these words.

"The Ministry of Rites sent this list, and let her see what happened, and in the end, it would not be determined from this list. The key is the emperor's heart. Empress Xie's voice was still numb to the bone, and the expression on her face seemed to be smiling, but it was a little cold.

"The emperor loves His Royal Highness very much. This family affair will not be bad. If the Third Highness finds a powerful wife, the power of the Yonghe Palace will be even heavier. Yinzhu carefully wiped her face for Queen Xie and said.

In Yinzhu's heart, this lady has long been an enemy. Concubine Shu's power in the palace is too strong, especially with the help of the three princes, although she will bow to the master Niangniang Niangniang in terms of status, but the actual power can overpower the master Niangniang.

As soon as she thought of this, Yinzhu looked worried.

"This is indeed the fact that the emperor's affection for the Yonghe Palace is still very old, and this family affair is not easy to handle. Did you find anything on Suzaku East Road? Can you have the handle of the Three Princes' Mansion? It's best to defile that side before the family affairs are decided, so that there is still room for family affairs. Xie Zi's beautiful eyebrows frowned, and it was indeed troublesome to think of these questions.

"No, the people sent by the family have been investigating the Three Princes' Mansion, and what they have obtained is all small things. It can be seen that the Three Princes' Mansion is usually very strictly managed, and those slaves will not talk nonsense. Yinzhu lowered her head and said, her voice a little depressed.

"It's really hard to deal with Suzaku East Road, let them not worry, I can delay this matter for a while, let them continue to investigate!" Xie Zi gave such an order and relaxed his eyebrows.

This is the case in the post/palace, every step is like walking on thin ice in the abyss, every step must be very cautious, and every step must be planned again, otherwise, what is waiting for them is not just broken bones.

"Master, you can count Yonghe Palace for a while, but you can't suppress it for a lifetime. The emperor is always going to abdicate, and it is better for the master to choose as soon as possible, those young princes, who is the master yet? Yinzhu thought about it and asked the question again.

She looked at Queen Xie's eyes full of pain and couldn't bear it, if it wasn't for the fact that the family had already done it, if it wasn't for the master's inability to conceive, how could the situation be so difficult? !

"I haven't taken a good look yet, those young princes seem to be inadequate, I have to take another look." Empress Xie ignored Yinzhu's eyes, it had been so long since this incident, and Empress Xie didn't feel anything.

What she wants is to live in this palace and live well.

Queen Xie and Yinzhu, the pair of master and servant, didn't expect that when they were worried about the affairs of the three princes, someone gave them a big gift, a big gift so that they could live well in the palace!
