As soon as the emperor fainted on the front foot, he summoned the imperial doctor for treatment, and the concubines of the harem got the news and rushed over.

The honor and disgrace of the harem women are closely related to His Majesty, and the concubines led by the queen rushed to the place but were placed under house arrest by the Song Court with the forbidden army, and a series of changes made the other concubines at a loss.

"Your Majesty may faint suddenly, the concubines and others are here to see Your Majesty, what are you doing here, guard? Why are you holding us back? ”

"That is, I ask the guards to let us take a look and make sure that His Majesty is well, and then we will not linger."

It's a pity that there was no response to what they said, and they were under house arrest in the boxy palace, and they could see either the same concubines as them or the forbidden army with cold faces.

Most of the concubines are noble girls, they are used to seeing flowers, and they are used to competing for favor, but they have never seen this kind of battle. Being able to speak is already bold, and more nervousness is afraid to speak.

All she had brought with her was this kind of rubbish that could not be helped, and the queen looked back and knew that there was no one in it who could be counted on.

The queen frowned and looked at the personal guard in front of her, Song Ting, and made a fuss, "You forgot that everything you have now is a reward from Your Majesty, how dare a little guard treat this palace." ”

"The slave didn't dare to forget that all this was given by His Majesty, but His Majesty suddenly fainted, and for His Majesty's safety, I bothered you to stay here for a while. Even if there is a lot of displeasure in my heart now, please bear with the ladies before the emperor wakes up. Song Ting explained expressionlessly.

"This palace is the wife of the queen and the emperor, do you still want to take care of the emperor for this palace?" The queen was full of anxiety and vented all her anger on Song Ting.

"The servants didn't dare to overstep their bounds, but the emperor entrusted the food, clothing, housing and transportation and the forbidden army to the slaves. Eat the king's lu, bear the king's worries. Since ancient times, the slave obeys the emperor's orders and doesn't know what is wrong with him? Song Ting answered the queen's words truthfully, and it was not surprising that the queen would be half angry because of his words.

"The words of this palace are also the emperor's order, you dog slave actually detained the concubine by the emperor's trust in you, it is a great crime." The queen was really provoked to anger, and glared viciously at Song Ting, who dared to oppose her.

"The slave doesn't dare, the slave is just for the safety of all the mothers. If you do something inappropriate, please ask the queen to do more than Haihan. When His Majesty wakes up, no matter whether the queen wants to kill or kill the slaves, she will listen to her and let her be disposed of. "Song Ting's words are earnest, and his attitude is humble,

I really can't find anything wrong with Song Ting, the queen's teeth are itching, and no one in the palace can be so angry with her except for Concubine Huan, who is a fox.

"Do you think that this is the way to let you go? If you want to get away with it, your behavior is enough to be tortured. "The queen is still fierce even if she is locked up, if it weren't for the fact that she was the one who was imprisoned, others probably thought that the queen came to find fault on purpose.

"Since this guard has already made it so clear, why don't we wait and see what happens?"

Because the concubine looked at the queen who was arguing unreasonably in front of her, she spoke to dissuade her, but her words did not have any effect.

At this moment, something unexpected happened, and the emperor not only came to his senses, but also found here.

He looked at the queen who challenged Song Ting, who was not as dignified and dignified as before, and the emperor was furious when he saw her like this.

"Do you still have a bit of the grace and generosity of the Lord of the Middle Palace? She looks like a shrew, a madwoman. "The emperor is just a loud rebuke of the queen in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the concubines are like this is because they are worried about you. This guard stopped us so that the concubines could not see the emperor. The Empress looked at the enraged Emperor and tried to explain the reason for her gaffe.

It's just that in this case, how can it be easy to solve the dilemma because of her two explanations?

"Even so, you shouldn't say those things. There wasn't a moment of silence when I fainted. The emperor frowned and looked at the queen coldly, not moved by her explanation at all.

The emperor reprimanded the queen by the way, "You don't look like you're suitable for managing the harem, so stay in your own courtyard and don't come out." ”

The emperor was angry, and the queen was also at fault, so the others quietly watched this scene and did not dare to mix.

Even the queen thought that it was only because of the emperor. When he fainted, he just woke up and saw him and Song Ting making trouble, so he was unhappy and let him go back to his yard.

However, just after the queen was placed under house arrest, the emperor promoted Concubine Huan to be the imperial concubine without any pause.

The difference of one word brings two different rights, and the imperial concubine has the right to assist the harem with the queen.

Especially now in the absence of the queen, Xiao Huan, the imperial concubine, is directly in charge of the six palaces.

"Xiao Huan's original status is so much that the emperor likes it, so she was promoted to a concubine. Now let her become the imperial concubine, manage the concubines, etc. First of all, regardless of whether the concubines and other concubines are willing to go to the previous dynasty, there will definitely be old ministers, because of this matter, they quarreled with His Majesty, and the two parties were unhappy. ”

"Although the concubines are not as noble as the queen, they are also from the high-ranking family. If these things are spread out, how can we hold our heads up? "Everybody

"Concubine Huan, even if she mentions the position of imperial concubine, she is young after all, I am afraid that she is not familiar with the management of the harem, please think carefully and make a decision later."

"The harem has always been handled by the queen at noon, and a sudden change may affect the harmony of the harem and the things to be handled."

So many people summed it up in one sentence, and they don't want to be controlled by Concubine Huan. This lowly woman, whom they envied and envied, was their enemy.

The queen is also from a prominent background, and she is also the main house of the wife, and their status is shorter and they must obey the queen.

But Huan Guifei? A lowly maid who relies on her youth, good looks, and talent to climb to a higher position than them with the emperor's three points likes to govern them?

Everyone in the harem gave various reasons, but they were all the same dissatisfied, and the emperor was not surprised by such a situation.

"If you don't want to listen, go and accompany the queen. I guess you should have a lot of topics to talk about? The emperor raised his lips viciously and insisted on going his own way, not listening to any dissuasion.

Isn't it the same as entering the cold palace with the queen, they themselves are not favored, if they lose the opportunity to jump in front of the emperor, I am afraid that there is no hope of promotion in this life.

Hearing these words, the concubines who were originally far away from the struggle all closed their mouths. Even if you can see a little unwillingness on their expressions, you can see that they have tried their best to restrain themselves.

The news that Xiao Huan has become the imperial concubine is flying all over the sky, and the queen is still unclear about this matter, but she doesn't want to stay in her palace and wait for death.

As soon as she went back, she managed to contact some old ministers of the old ministry to speak for her and plead for her.

The old minister sent by the queen in the early court pleaded for the queen, "The queen mother has always been from time to time, but it must be your wife who is worried about you, so she did bad things carelessly." Please forgive him and let him out to preside over the overall situation of the harem. ”

"Then according to Aiqing, the queen does anything under the banner of doing good for me, and it is normal to kill people and set fires?" Although time has passed, the emperor is still a little angry.

"The old minister is willing to use this life as a guarantee, the queen must not have done it on purpose. The harem can't be without an owner for a day, Huan Niangniang is a little concubine, how can she be the master? ”

"Then according to what you mean, it means that the people I choose can't do it, and it is heavenly justice that the queen has to administer justice, isn't it?" When the emperor heard this, he knew that it was the queen who colluded with the previous dynasty.

She went to great lengths to do these things just to come out, but the emperor didn't want the queen to get what she wanted now.

"If the emperor doesn't agree, the minister is willing to kneel for a long time." The old minister knelt on the ground.

"Eat the king's luck, bear the king's worries, you are not even as good as a guard, the queen has fallen, what kind of treasures do you have that make you resist me so openly?" The emperor was furious, he had clearly given the witness a chance, but he was still obsessed and had to excuse the queen.

"After all, the queen mother is the mother of the country, and if it goes on like this, the news that Concubine Huan is in power and His Majesty favors the concubine and kills his wife spreads, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to the emperor."

"Have both ability and political integrity, and have a good character, this is what the emperor said when he married the queen, if the imperial concubine is now allowed to assist in the harem, then the queen's status is not in vain?"

"I beg Your Majesty to be gracious and spare the queen."

"If you have anything else to do with him, just follow him." The emperor gritted his teeth angrily.

Unexpectedly, none of these old courtiers had the same heart as him, and only knew to beg him for mercy.

In the anger in his eyes and the pain of being betrayed by these people, the emperor did not choose a suppressed temperament, but belittled these old ministers out of sight.

Because a group of old ministers were driven out, there were vacancies in the positions in the court, and then the emperor promoted a group of courtiers to come up, and in order to better select talents, the emperor held the imperial examination.

"The emperor doesn't know if anyone is going to participate? There is one of the concubines here. Xiao Huan felt that this was a good opportunity.

"I don't know what kind of candidates there are for Concubine Ai, it's better to say it and listen to me, if it's good, send him to participate in the imperial examination, I think I can earn a half-official position." The emperor was a little puzzled, but he was more curious about who he was.

"The person Xiao Huan wants to recommend to the emperor is Song Ting, the person who blocks the arrow for the emperor is absolutely loyal, but in the position of the guard, he is really a little wronged." Although Xiao Huan has now become the imperial concubine, she still feels a little relieved about her brother.

"It's a pity to be a little guard, but it's unprecedented for a guard to participate in the imperial examination, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to set a precedent." The emperor shook his head, there are some things that he can't agree to just if he can say yes.

"Xiao Huan recommended Song Ting to participate in the martial arts test, with his skills and ability, I am afraid it is very easy, and he stands out in a group of people." Xiao Huan said to herself, my brother took the exam and became an official, and I am afraid it will not be so easy for them to meet.
