The night is already very deep, although Concubine Wande already has grandchildren, but her face is still beautiful, at this moment, she is waiting for the emperor to come in the magnificent Jiuhua Palace. Before, Concubine Wande was demoted to Zhaoyi and was driven to Wenxiang Pavilion, which was a cold palace. Later, she was newly favored by the emperor, promoted to Concubine De, and lived in Jiuhua Palace.

At this moment, she suddenly saw the big palace maid Thrush coming in a hurry, and said: "Concubine De Niangniang, the little father-in-law next to the emperor came to send a message saying that the emperor has stayed in Zhongcui Palace, and asked Niangniang not to wait." ”

Concubine Wande was furious: "Why are you staying in Zhongcui Palace?" How is it possible, didn't Your Majesty listen to me and say that Chen Guifei summoned the wives to get a donation meeting, and went away in a rage to find Chen Guifei's bad luck? ”

The thrush said: "Yes, the emperor listened to the words of the mother and went away angrily, and the slave also thought that the concubine Niangniang would be punished by the emperor today, who knows, the emperor not only did not punish her, but also let the palace write it down, and rewarded the concubine Niangniang with a thousand taels of silver, a clip of gold flowers, ten East Pearls, and a pair of white jade ornaments." That's okay, but still staying in the palace of the concubine? ”

Concubine Wande asked strangely, "What?" The emperor also gave her a reward? ”

The thrush said, "Yes, the slave and maid watched the little eunuchs go to the edict to prepare things. I will definitely be able to send it to Zhongcui Palace tomorrow. ”

Concubine Wande said: "The emperor went up to question her, but she never returned, and the reward was so rich, she actually stayed in her palace." Over the years, although she has regained the trust of the emperor, even if she is abolished, she is no longer beautiful, but she is old, her beauty is no longer there, and the emperor mostly goes to talk to her and rarely stays overnight? ”

The thrush frowned and asked: "Niangniang, today, why is the emperor so angry when he hears Niangniang say that the concubine Niangniang summoned the women's donation meeting?" ”

Concubine Wande said: "You just don't understand this. The reason why the emperor must be abolished is because the queen was born in a family and is the daughter of the Wang family. All under heaven, except for the emperor. The four major families all support their own troops and do not accept the king, and the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the four major families. I didn't see it, the emperor's mother's family, the Li family. Didn't the emperor reuse it? The emperor is most afraid that the palace and the palace will be controlled by the people of the four major families, so is this world the emperor's world, or the world of the four major families? Therefore, the emperor has not liked the queen for so many years, but he has been very fond of a person like me who has no family background. Also, there is nothing wrong with the crown prince, why doesn't the emperor like anything? Instead, you like my emperor? Because the crown prince has the blood of the royal family, my emperor does not have the imprint of the four major families. Now that the queen has been deposed, in the palace, I and the concubine are the highest. Inside. I am the most favored, and the concubine is the most trusted by the emperor. The courtiers in and out of the palace all asked for a new queen to be established as soon as possible. It must have been a choice between me and the concubine. At this time, if the emperor learns, the wives inside and outside the palace will have to look at the face of the concubine. Isn't this another king and queen cultivated? Isn't it another increase in power for the four major families? Can the emperor tolerate it? So, I deliberately said it in front of the emperor. The emperor really went away in a rage, I thought this thing could make the emperor stop trusting her? How did she know that she had the means, and she actually coaxed the emperor to give her so many things, and stayed with her. ”

The thrush now understood, and asked, "So what do we do now?" ”

Concubine Wande said: "Hmph, I rely on the emperor's favor." She came from a family. But. After all, she has no children and is old, so she has already thought of a way to let her two nieces of her mother's family enter the palace to compete with me for favor. The two daughters of the Chen family are young and young. Young and beautiful, I thought that with this, I could take away the emperor's favor from me, hum, dream, see who will win in the end? ”

The thrush smiled and said, "At the Lantern Festival banquet." The slave maid has also seen those two Chen girls, although they are young and beautiful, but compared with the unparalleled appearance of Concubine De Niangniang, it is far behind. According to the slaves and maids, they can't compete for the favor of the mother at all. However, that Qian concubine, I'm afraid she will fall out of favor in the future. ”

Concubine Wande gritted her teeth and said when she thought of Qian Concubine: "Hmph, when Concubine Qian falls out of favor, it's time for me to manipulate her, that slut, relying on her youth and beauty, is showing off in front of me, hum, see who has the last laugh, don't offend me." ”

The next day, the emperor went to court. The palace maid Yu'er waited for the concubine to get up and freshen up and decorate. Yu'er said: "The slave maid hasn't congratulated the mother for getting Mu Sheng's grace?" ”

Chen Guifei looked at her face in the mirror and said with a sneer: "What's there to be happy about? I'm so old, and I was fortunate to be favored by the emperor by chance, can I still give birth to a prince? ”

Yu'er didn't dare to say anything.

While stroking her hair, Chen Guifei took out a golden step to insert it on her head and said, "Do you think I blame the emperor's favor?" I am long past the age of longing for grace. Do you know what the emperor did yesterday? The emperor is here to ask my teacher for guilt. ”

Yu'er hurriedly asked, "Ask for sin?" What is the sin of the mother? ”

Chen Guifei said: "I convened the women to hold a donation meeting a few days ago, and there was nothing originally, but it must be that slut from Concubine Wande, who advanced to the emperor to offer slander, saying that I had summoned the women." It was the queen's right to summon the maiden to the palace, but now, I am just a concubine, where do I have the right to summon the maid? Isn't this a taboo for the emperor? The emperor is afraid that I, a noble concubine from a family, will become the second queen. ”

Only then did Yu'er understand: "Oh, no wonder, I saw that when the emperor entered our palace, his face was not good. ”

Chen Guifei smiled coldly and said, "I have been immersed in this palace for decades, I haven't seen any tricks, how can I not understand these?" I deliberately summoned the wife, on the one hand, to give Concubine Wande a chance to sue, and on the other hand, to establish my majesty in the woman. If it was done on purpose, how could it be that there was no countermeasure? I told the emperor that I had gathered my best friends, and the emperor had nothing to say. As a palace concubine, not to mention that I am a noble concubine, even a concubine has the right to summon a woman into the palace to chat. It's just that I have more friends, all over the court. This is what Concubine Wande couldn't imagine, she is a person from a people's daughter, how can she know that we, the women of the family, have a wide range of contacts, and have been in and out of the social scene since childhood. When I was a child, I followed my mother to participate in tea parties, poetry parties, and flower viewing of those ladies and girls, but I don't know how many people I know? In addition, the officials and nobles are married to each other, and the four major families are also married to each other, how many relatives are in this intricacy of relatives, even I don't know myself, it is normal to say that they are all our friends. ”

Yu'er smiled and said, "Isn't it? We're not like her little family. ”

Chen Guifei said: "The reason why Concubine Wande can fight with Queen Wang for so long is because Queen Wang doesn't understand the emperor's heart. The emperor's most scruples in his heart are the increase in the power of the family. Originally, he really wanted to make me his queen, but I was from the Chen family, how could he rest assured? Rather than waiting until the future to poison me, it is better for me to use the mouth of Concubine Wande today to unravel the scruples in the emperor's heart, so that the emperor can trust me more. ”

Yu'er admired it very much and said: "Niangniang is really far-sighted and knows His Majesty very well." That Wande Concubine is beyond reach. ”

Chen Guifei smiled mockingly and said: "That stupid woman of Concubine Wande, she thinks she is beautiful, she thinks that the emperor is infatuated with her, she probably didn't expect that the emperor favored her because she looked like that woman, but she was just a stand-in, and she dared to play tricks in front of me." Hmph, the abolished queen Wang is also a stupid, and when he becomes the queen, he is stupid. Why did you forget, none of us are the emperor's sweethearts, I'm not, the Wang family is not, the first crown princess Li is not, even Concubine Wande is not, the emperor likes it the most in his life, and his favorite is the Ying family. These, as they grow older, everyone forgets about them. But I haven't forgotten, since the emperor doesn't really love Concubine De, then why should I fight with a stand-in? Since I am in charge of palace affairs, I naturally choose beautiful palace people for the emperor, not only to send my two nieces to the emperor, but also to select the ministers of the court and the good girls of the noble family. As soon as these young and beautiful concubines came in, they naturally showed the vulgarity of Concubine Wande. Hmph, then she's self-defeating. ”

Yu'er frowned and said, "This is that there are many women in this harem, isn't Niangniang afraid that someone will compete with you for favor?" ”

Chen Guifei smiled and said, "What am I afraid of? Hmph, the queen is that stupid, she always thinks about competing for favor, competing for favor, and wants to dominate the emperor, and she doesn't want to think about it, can the emperors of all dynasties be dominated by a woman? Since the emperor is home to many women in the palace, it is better to show his bearing. The daughter of the Wang family is too strong and has no bearing, and she always wants to dominate her husband's favor, how can it be? If it's okay if you don't marry in the palace, can you do it in this palace? Hmph, she deserves to be abolished. I don't want to dominate the emperor alone, I'm old, am I still waiting for a man to pamper me? Even if you are pampered, can you still give birth to a prince? Moreover, I'm older, and the emperor is older than me, even if a palace concubine gives birth to a prince, what's the use? In the future, the throne will still fall on a few older princes, does the emperor want to set up a milk doll as the prince? Since the prince can't compete for the position of the crown prince, why should he still compete for the position of the queen? At the moment, the most important thing for me is to be virtuous, not to be jealous in the palace, to do more good deeds outside the palace, to be praised inside and outside the palace, and to make the emperor satisfied and comfortable. That way my position as queen will be secure. If I become the queen, what will happen to the crown prince and the three princes? It's not the Four Princes yet. When the time comes, the former dynasty and the future dynasty will be our world. Our wishes will be fulfilled as much as possible. ”

When Yu'er thought of this, she was also happy in her heart, and said: "Niangniang is thoughtful, although the slave doesn't know what Niangniang's wish is, but she also wishes Niangniang to get her wish as soon as possible." ”
