"Back to the Queen Mother, Concubine Xin is indeed quite deep in the city and should not be underestimated, but she is now in the time of favor, so it is inconvenient for the Queen Mother, your old man to clash with her head-on, no matter who the problem is that happened before, Concubine Xin is now the emperor's flesh and blood, and there can be no mistakes. Now you are so vigilant to the queen, firstly, to remind the queen not to have any thoughts about the flesh and blood in Concubine Xin's womb, and secondly, to remind the queen not to have any thoughts about the flesh and blood in Concubine Xin's womb in the future, and secondly, if Concubine Xin gives birth to the emperor's heir, if Concubine Xin becomes the second concubine, then the queen will come forward to fight with Concubine Xin! If the queen doesn't even know Concubine Xin, then how can she help the queen mother deal with Concubine An in the future. ”

When Concubine Hui said this, she raised her eyes and carefully observed the Queen Mother's thoughts.

She had to guess the Queen Mother's intentions, but she couldn't say it too thoroughly.

Although the Queen Mother trusts her, it is limited to what she can guess six or seven percent, in this treacherous harem, the more she talks, the more trouble she will incur! That's why she thinks through everything she says before she says it!

There is no room for any discrepancies.

Once, when Concubine An was happy, the Queen Mother also warned Concubine Jin and other concubines who wanted to attack Concubine An at that time, because the Queen Mother loved the descendants of the Lin family after all, and the harem concubines and concubines could fight! But you can't do anything to any happy concubine!

But the Queen Mother was also a bad move at that time!

originally thought that Concubine An would fall out of favor after giving birth to Lin Dongyao, but who knew that Concubine An had good means, but after giving birth to the prince, she was even more favored than before, which made the Queen Mother unexpected, and Concubine Jin and others originally wanted to take the opportunity to bring down Concubine An, but they were frequently frustrated, if it wasn't for the Queen Mother who had been secretly paying attention, Concubine Jin and the queen at that time would have been abolished by the emperor long ago.

Therefore, the Queen Mother has always paid attention to and observed this concubine Xin, but she has never really made a move!

The Queen Mother intends to guide Concubine Xin to fight with Concubine An! It's just that now it seems that these two people are obviously in the posture of well water and river water!

If the queen is smart enough, she should think about how to provoke the contradiction between Concubine Xin and Concubine An after Concubine Xin gives birth! Instead of taking the initiative to target Concubine Xin!

A woman who is favored, has a brain, and is calm and composed, is the most terrifying!

Now it seems that Concubine Xin is very likely to become the second Concubine An!

This is also the reason why the Queen Mother treats the queen so harshly today! Some words are not deliberately said to the bottom of the queen's heart, and if you don't deliberately stick a knife in her heart, the queen will not be enlightened!

"The mourning family naturally hopes that this harem will be calm, but who said that it is difficult to tolerate two kings in this world, and the same is true of this harem! Whether it is the harem of the rivers and lakes, where there are interests and people, there will always be open and secret battles! The higher you are, the more you fight! If you want to look at the world, you have to accept the qiē in front of you! ”

The Queen Mother's words seem to be for Concubine Hui, but in fact, after so many years in the harem, she has come through ups and downs, so why not say it to herself if she is too thick?

Even though she occasionally gets tired of this life, most of the time she enjoys it even more! She has been in a high position for many years, and if she gives up here, she will lose all her previous achievements, and what she has in the past will be lost!

The psychology of the Queen Mother is actually that she can't let go of the qiē she gets now! It is even more impossible to accept mediocre life and status! This is the case when power controls people's hearts.

"Queen Mother, the concubines understand."

Concubine Hui nodded, but her lowered eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness.

If it weren't for Ran'er, in fact, she would have really stayed enough in this harem!

Like her, it is impossible to become a queen, but she still has to work hard for the queen mother, and Ran Er will not become a prince, but she also has to wade into this troubled water, everyone else controls her, and she has no freedom at all!

But these words can only rot in her stomach forever.

At the same time, Panghou Mansion

Somewhere in Kyoto, surrounded by lush greenery, it is a place that ordinary people don't go close to.

Located at the foot of Yangmingshan, the Panghou Mansion, although it occupies the right time and place, over the years, the surrounding area is uninhabited and gloomy.

Only one old mansion sits alone, and for many years, even if it was empty, no one had set a foot on it.

Many years later, Pang Rui and Steward Zheng were the only people who walked into this courtyard.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is the eerie mansion of Pang Hou, but in Pang Rui's eyes, it is an indescribable familiar and intimate feeling, only by staying here, he will not forget what his true self is like.

Dressed in white, elegant and simple, like ink and green silk loosely tied to the back of the head, only a simple green hosta pinned with green silk, loose robe moved with the wind, as if the owner of the body will also dance with the breeze.

Under the bamboo forest in the courtyard, bamboo tables, bamboo chairs, and even the tea sets placed on the table are all made of green bamboo, revealing a simple and free atmosphere, bamboo shadows are swaying, the sun is soft and warm, and the scenery in the courtyard is quiet and clear.

If it weren't said that this was the legendary ghost mansion Pang Hou Mansion, who would believe it?

It's such a beautiful scenery that not everyone can enjoy.

Pang Rui leaned on the bamboo chair in white clothes, his eyebrows were lazy, and his demeanor was casual, completely looking like he was back home.

However, not far in front of him, there were tombstones.

In that year, more than 100 people in Panghou Mansion were poisoned to death, because they were worried that there would be plague infection, so more than 100 people were all buried here, except for the master who had a tombstone, other slaves and maids were buried in the form of accompanying burials.

Pang Rui looked at the cold tombstone more than ten meters in front of him at this moment, but he had a relaxed and calm expression.

"Father, mother, yesterday when my son fell asleep here, I dreamed that you took me here to chant poems and paint like a child, my mother painted a proud green bamboo, my father wrote a green bamboo fu, and my son danced a sword in the bamboo forest, as if it was just yesterday."

Pang Rui spoke lightly, only hearing memories, not resentment.

Behind him, Steward Zheng lined up with four young and delicate girls, his eyes down and he was silent.

"Powder, makeup, jade, and zhuan, what are you thinking?" Pang Rui suddenly spoke to the four handsome girls behind him.

The four of them glanced at each other, and the oldest fan smiled sweetly and said crisply,

"Master, I heard that Steward Zheng said that the palace sent a pair of stunning twins to the master, and Ming'er came, and the four slaves and maids were just curious."

"Master, are these twins the right wife for the master?" Yu'er blinked, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Who knows if the head of the palace is sent to monitor the master!" Makeup snorted, obviously repulsive to the twins.

"In fact, as long as the master likes the slaves and maids, he likes them, and if the masters don't like them, the slaves and maids will bully them." Zhuo'er smiled and added whimsically.
