Concubine Sima De actually didn't know that Empress Zhou would be in trouble today, but the Liang Zi between her and the middle palace was not as deep as the concubine in the past, especially when Empress Zhou had given up the named eight princes as the heirs, and the Zhou family seemed to have given up the princely dispute, and Concubine De seemed to have given up the dispute with the middle palace on the surface.

She is not attached to the position of the queen mother, her son is an adult, and there is no situation of the harem auxiliary government, even if she succumbs to the position of the concubine in the future, but her son will not condone the Zhou family to overpower the Sima family.

When Concubine De heard the words "Mrs. Qin is waiting to be taught", she realized that she was afraid that she would be used by Queen Zhou today, but she didn't care much about it. Other people are afraid of Yan Chi, but she is not afraid of her, let alone Qin Xun, the ruler. It's just that the crown prince has not yet ascended the throne, and out of the special importance that the official family attaches to Yan Chi, she still has to pay a few respects.

Yan Chi has already shown loyalty to the prince, how can he "go to Qin and Dusk", the prince is the king, Yan Chi is a minister, this is a settled situation in the eyes of Concubine De.

Concubine De is the eldest sister of the Duke of Xingguo, she has no friendship with her younger sister-in-law Mrs. Zheng, but she cherishes several nephews and nieces born by Mrs. Zheng, such as the current Huai Princess Sima Huan and even Concubine De herself, who has lived in the palace for many years. Concubine De was actually a little resentful of King Huai's initiative to choose Qin's daughter as her widow.

She didn't think her niece was weak enough to need her daughter's support.

At that time, Yi Zhen's abolition was almost a foregone conclusion, Concubine De felt that there was no need to win over Qin Men at all, Qin Xun's old fox, when the prince needed his support, he was indifferent no matter how he could, it was the prince who had to be the prince, and he would rather pay Yan Chi, a courtier, than bribe a relative of the Sima family, which made Concubine De extremely dissatisfied.

In her opinion, the father and son, who are willing to make money and have the power of the dragon, are undoubtedly much more "sensible".

Let's watch Qin's training with a cold eye today, and teach Qin Xun to understand which family is the most prominent in the future, don't forget the dignity of the monarch and the minister.

When Fang Qi heard that Concubine De was also present, her heartbeat was rapid, of course she couldn't figure out Concubine De's twists and turns, but she was sure that since Queen Zhou allowed Concubine De to be present, Concubine De would not be her rescuer.

If you don't do it, you'll fall into the ground.

After all, Concubine De is the biological mother of the crown prince, and the future queen mother, if she doesn't deal with it properly today, won't she be affected by Yan Chi?

Fang Qi tried to stabilize his emotions and finished the prayer.

"Madame, please be seated." Queen Zhou spoke first, and she couldn't hear too much emotion in her tone.

"The saint summoned the concubine to admonish her, and the concubine did not dare to sit down." Fang Qi knew the palace rules, and the words of admonition had to kneel and lead, so that she would not fall into the queen's trap.

"It's not for admonition, it's just a few words of advice."

"The concubine is frightened, and listening to the call is to enter the palace for training, if it is not the original intention of the saint, is it not the palace people's fake order?" Although Fang Qiren knelt, this attitude was quite difficult to provoke, she also made up her mind in a moment, as long as Concubine De did not make a sound, she still dealt with Queen Zhou according to Yan Chi's instructions, she is a chestnut, not a soft persimmon that is handled by an appointee.

It was the old palace man who passed the palace order to the National Teacher's Mansion, and she couldn't help but be even more depressed when she heard the words, she was regarded by the queen as a confidant, and no one dared to rush and offend for many years, so she interjected with a straight face: "The saint is lenient, and he only sits for the dignity of Mrs. Gu Qin, but Mrs. sophistry and falsely accuses the servant of falsely passing the order, so presumptuous and rude, she should be investigated for the crime of disrespect." ”

"The saint is clear, the concubine is nothing more than a blunt response, the saint's words are not admonishments are just admonitions, and the concubine believes it, but the palace envoy around the saint concludes that the concubine first committed a crime, and does not know whether it is good or bad, and openly sentences the concubine for the crime of being rude and disrespectful, and the concubine is short-sighted, but he also knows that the palace envoy is not qualified to punish the crime of the woman, and the concubine asks whether it is the meaning of the saint or the slander of the palace envoy!"

Concubine De glanced at Fang Qi, and felt that the Qin family really lived up to her reputation, and the queen had not yet had a seizure, but she began to ask the teacher for guilt.

But she didn't intervene and sat on the wall.

"Madame really doesn't seem to know what is wrong?" Queen Zhou's thin eyebrows frowned tightly, and she didn't insist on admonishment or admonition: "I ask you, you are a first-class order, but you are jealous and not virtuous, and the high-ranking woman is the concubine of Yan Guoshi, because she was born in a famous family, virtuous and virtuous, I made the decision to let her bend to the side of the child, in order to let you work together with her to govern the inner house, so that Yan Guoshi has no worries, and is more dedicated to serving the monarchy, but what about you?" If you act as a righteous person and punish a good concubine for no reason, don't blame the wrong person for the wrongdoing. ”

The old palace man sneered: "Madame can think clearly, in case she says the wrong thing, but Madame slanders the saint for not knowing people's ability, obviously the sage praises the virtue of the high-ranking people, but Mrs. Qin insists that the high-ranking people don't know etiquette and are arrogant." ”

Fang Qi didn't speak, she wanted Queen Zhou to speak directly.

Queen Zhou thought that Fang Qi's heart was weak, even Concubine De thought so, and she only smiled at this time: "No wonder the saint is angry, Mrs. Qin's temperament is indeed a little stubborn, but the saint has always been lenient and benevolent, and she has to be considerate of Mrs. Qin's youth and vigor." ”

"That's the truth, I actually don't intend to reprimand it because of this trivial matter, but I'm sitting in the deep palace, and I've heard that the house in the national teacher's mansion is disrespectful and displaced, such as those Ji people who don't have a rank, they dare to sneer at the high-ranking people, if this is another family, I won't ask, but Yan Guoshi is now relying on the official family, if it is because of the disharmony in the inner house, the dignity and the inferiority are disorderly, and the impeachment of the official will not make it difficult for the official family?"

Queen Zhou's tone softened, and she sighed: "Therefore, today I let Mrs. Qin enter the palace, whether it is a reprimand or a reminder, it is all out of kindness, Mrs. is not only the main room where the national teacher and Ming Media are marrying, but even the official family gives the marriage, and the lady will be slandered, and there is no glory on the face of the official family." The palace people around me are said to be old enough to leave the palace to raise themselves, but her family is in Kaifeng, and there has been no news for so many years, so she should have been captured by the Liao Court, so I can't bear to let her go out of the palace alone.

Mrs. Qin, Lu Gongling has served by my side for many years, and I know how to advance and retreat, in order to share the worries of the official family, I am willing to let her out of the palace and be supported by the National Teacher's Mansion. ”

Fang Qi understood that Queen Zhou wanted to press down a big mountain on her head.

"If the saint has finished admonishing, then it is time for the concubine to plead his case."

Empress Zhou's brows, which had just been relieved, frowned tightly again: The Qin family still dares to plead?!

Lu Gongling has probably never seen such a bold woman, you must know not to mention the daughter of Qin Xiangdi, even the old lady of Xiangdi has always been respectful when she enters the palace to ask the queen about her well-being!

"Bold!"

As soon as she drank the order, Fang Qi glanced at her coldly: "The sage just said that Lu Gong Ling Ming Rites and Laws know how to advance and retreat, but Lu Gong Ling shouted at the women again, and the concubine is really puzzled. The saint is the master of the middle palace, even though he has the right to admonish and even punish the woman, but the law of etiquette stipulates that if the woman refuses to accept it, she may plead, and the prevention is that the saint listens to slander and misjudges, and the saint's admonition has been completed, and the concubine pleads according to the law, how did it become bold? ”

Empress Zhou was speechless and froze on the couch.

"Lu Gongling had to threaten the concubine just now, and he couldn't point out Gao's fault, otherwise he would be disrespectful to the saint, but who can be innocent if he is not a saint, Gao's favor is relying on the grace of the saint, and the concubine punished her with grounding, what's the fault?"

"You, not only are you grounded, you also ordered the whipping!"

"The sage Mingjian, the person who ordered the whipping of the high-ranking people was not a concubine, but a national teacher, and the law only strictly forbade the killing of good concubines, but the high-ranking people are now only suffering from flesh and skin, neither disabled nor killed, and the national teacher is punished according to the family rules, and has not violated the law of the country."

"You still dare to say that you didn't slander the side of the child because of jealousy?!"

"Please ask the sage Mingjian again, the national teacher didn't want to accept the Gao family as a concubine, and he didn't have a good impression of him, and the concubine was guilty of being a jealous and unfavored person?"

Empress Zhou: ......

"If the saint wants to find a place to make offerings for the Lu Gong Order, the concubine is willing to share the sorrows of the saint, provide for the Lu Gong Ling to live for the elderly, keep food and clothing without worry, and not suffer from hunger, cold, and hardship, but if the saint forces the concubine to obey the Lu Palace Order, the Lu Palace Order, who is neither aware of the etiquette and the humble person, will be in the house of the National Teacher's Mansion, and the concubine will have to resist the saint's order, the concubine will leave, return home to be punished, and wait for the saint to issue the decree, and the concubine will hold the decree again, and knock on the drum to defend the grievances!"

Fang Qi walked away, but Queen Zhou did not dare to stop it.

She didn't have a reason to stop it.

Because the queen's authority is not supreme, in the final analysis, Empress Zhou wants to depose Fang Qi's life rank, and she must also be approved by the emperor, otherwise Fang Qi really held the edict of condemnation to beat the drum, and the emperor also accepted her words of redress...... This fun can be too big, and the person who loses face will be the queen.

Empress Zhou had no choice but to take Concubine De's hand: "You can also listen today, how arrogant and rude the Qin family is!" This matter must be done fairly by the officials. ”

Concubine De hurriedly appeased the queen: "This Mrs. Qin is indeed too arrogant, today's words and deeds, the official family inquired, and the concubine will definitely be truthful." ”

As for the decision of the Son of Heaven, of course Concubine De will not argue, after all, now that the crown prince is still one step away from the throne, Concubine De is not willing to follow in the footsteps of the concubine.

Thus her testimony is quite truthful, showing that she hears only with her ears and repeats it with her mouth.

"It's the concubine, for the lord of the middle palace, the official family entrusts the concubine to be in charge of the palace affairs of the inner court, but where does the concubine dare to do whatever she wants? It's different to rely on the concubines to work together......"

The Son of Heaven was impatient to listen to Queen Zhou's continued irritability.

"I said a long time ago, let you don't have a lot of things to match with the Gao family for no reason, you are sorry to say the words of the Gao family's virtuous and virtuous people who know the rules and etiquette, you are really humiliating yourself and not knowing it, who is Yan unprovoked? How could his eyes be easily blinded? Queen, Luo thought that Gao's was a strange thing, but you actually thought so? You just have a good life, don't embarrass me, except for listening to Qin Xun's old wife boasting about herself, your ears can't listen to what other people say about the Gao family, right?! Famous ladies, are there famous ladies who are looking for death and life to rush to be concubines? is also virtuous and virtuous, I really can't say it. ”

As soon as she went home, she first looked for a room to "report safety", and by the way discussed how Zhao Ying could fight back.
