Chapter 196: Raising Eyebrows (Part I)
Zhengyang Palace.
Empress Chen couldn't help herself excitedly, and grabbed Saitama's arm, "The second brother is back, he has won the battle and is back!" Hongu isn't dreaming! ”
Her mood at this time was extremely complicated, and there was a very indescribable look on her face, and the ecstasy of the rest of her life and the joy of turning defeat into victory made her feel that everything was so unreal.
Qizhen and Saitama are obviously also very excited, Qizhen has been worried because she didn't do her errands before, if Queen Chen is finished, she will only die more miserably, so the mood at the moment is more excited than Queen Chen, "It's true, Niangniang, the general is back, he has come back after winning the battle, and Niangniang doesn't have to be careful in the future!" ”
Empress Chen clenched her hands tightly, took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "Yes! This palace has been the queen for so many years, but because the Chen family is weak, she has been cautious and cautious, and she has to look at the face of the emperor and the queen mother, and even the faces of some concubines! Hongu has had enough of those days! From today on, the palace will let those who ridicule the palace and fall into the hole of the palace to see what the queen of the main palace is! ”
Qizhen and Saitama glanced at each other, and both showed extremely happy smiles, Saitama said, "I heard that someone in the court suggested that the emperor lead the civil and military officials out of the city to greet them...... Niangniang, this time our Zhengyang Palace has really grown face! ”
Empress Chen wept with joy and instructed Qi Zhen: "You go and inquire, apart from defeating North Vietnam, is there any other news?" ”
"Yes, slave and maid are going!"
Qi Zhen couldn't hide the smile on his face, and immediately walked out of the inner hall with his head held high and asked someone to inquire.
"Hmph, Concubine Hui! She wanted to take advantage of this incident to bring down the palace, but she must not have imagined that even God would help me! ”
Saitama frowned and said: "It's a pity that things can't be done, Concubine Hui is not like Concubine Chen, she doesn't like to fight, she is a treacherous herself, this time with the little prince, in the future, relying on the emperor's favor, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to deal with." ”
Empress Chen sneered, "The days are still long, children are the most delicate, they can't resist the wind and rain, sometimes something unacceptable will happen with one finger!" ”
Perhaps Chen Ji's credit this time was too huge, Qizhen didn't have much effort to find out, and soon turned around like Queen Chen's prayer: "Niangniang! The slave inquired! ”
Empress Chen immediately looked at her: "How is it?" ”
Qi Zhenxi said: "This time, Uncle Guo not only won the battle, but also forced North Vietnam to promise not to use a single soldier in Dajing within ten years, and pay a tribute of tens of millions ......of silver tattoos, horses, cattle and sheep to our dynasty every year."
"What?" Empress Chen was a little stunned, she didn't know how her second brother did it, but this was undoubtedly a great credit to Dajing! "Great! That's great! I really didn't expect that our Chen family would have such a day! ”
As a queen, she didn't have a strong maiden family as a backer, and the queen was not so glorious back then, she was simply aggrieved over the years. Now, it's finally time to raise your eyebrows!
Saitama suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help frowning: "Although the palace maid who knew about Concubine Hui was executed on the spot by the Empress Dowager, the palace maid who gave birth to the baby girl was still in custody, will it ......?"
"The Queen Mother's execution of the palace maid has already made her attitude, and the one left behind is just a show to give Concubine Hui an explanation, and when this limelight passes, the cheap maid will not be able to live!" The gloom on Empress Chen's face was swept away, and all her worries were diluted by this great news, and all her attention was now focused on Chen Ji.
"The second brother will return to the dynasty in a few days, and when the time comes, I will have to think about how to make my Chen family get the greatest benefits!"
Qi Zhen immediately understood what Empress Chen meant, "Niang Niang is planning for the Sixth Highness?" ”
Empress Chen glanced at her appreciatively, "The second brother has made a great contribution, and the palace wants to strike while the iron is hot and plan for my son." As for Concubine Hui or anything, there is no need to rush for a while, sooner or later there will be a day to clean up them. The top priority is to take advantage of the situation to strengthen the power of the Chen family! ”
What if you let those bed bugs stay proud for a few days?

Yuxiang Palace.
Concubine Hui sat on the couch with a pale face, and the palace maids who were waiting around looked at her face carefully, not knowing what to do. Sui Yue came over with ginseng chicken soup and said softly: "Niangniang, drink some soup to replenish your body, you have just given birth, and you shouldn't work hard and think more at this time......"
Concubine Hui smiled bitterly, and when she looked up, she saw a small piece of thin blister on her lips, "How can you not want to?" This palace is completely torn with the queen this time, and she will definitely change her law to suppress this palace in the future. ”
"Why do you have to worry so much, in our harem, there are only the three princes born to Concubine Zhen, the four princes born to Concubine Rong, and the six princes of the queen, the three princes don't learn and have no skills, the four princes are sick, and the six princes are not very smart, now you give birth to the little prince, the little prince is healthy and healthy, not to mention, the eyebrows, forehead and chin are simply carved out of the same mold as the emperor, the emperor may like it more! Even for the sake of the little prince, the queen mother and the emperor will not let the mother be easily wronged. ”
"I hope so." Concubine Hui thought for a while and commanded in a deep voice: "The queen is now in the limelight, let's avoid its edge first, you give orders for the palace, the people of Yuxiang Palace are not allowed to go out at will, if you meet people from Zhengyang Palace, you can avoid it, and you must not conflict with it." ”
"Yes, sissy."
"Also, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, since Qing Ruxu helped me this time, we also have to repay the favor, if there is any change in the palace, we will find a way to inform her, with this helper, we will not be alone."
"Yes, the slave will pay attention."
Concubine Hui called the nurse over, and looked at the sleeping little prince, and became more and more afraid. The Queen Mother has not moved until now, and I am afraid that the matter of changing children will not be resolved. She felt that the Queen Mother and the Emperor should make amends elsewhere in order to calm the matter, so that she would no longer pursue the matter. When she thought of this, she heard the voice of the attendant outside: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”
Concubine Hui was stunned, her heart came, and she was about to stay to listen to the order, Yang De'an entered the inner hall and hurriedly stopped: "Niangniang is slow." The emperor said that the mother doesn't have to kneel, just listen to the order on the couch. ”
Concubine Hui looked at the face of the emperor's henchman, relieved her heart slightly, and said, "Concubine Xie Emperor is compassionate." ”
Yang Dean immediately read out the will in person, "Concubine Qin, the concubine of Hui, has a good temperament and is cautious. Do everything in the palace, be respectful and prudent, be virtuous and wise, can be a concubine, with the model of Zhao Xiande, this book is a product of the concubine, and the gold book is awarded the golden seal. Chin this. ”
When Concubine Hui heard the will, she raised her head in surprise.
Yang Dean said with a smile: "Congratulations to the concubine, congratulations to the concubine!" ”
Suiyue hurriedly and respectfully stepped forward to take the order for Concubine Hui.
Yang Dean smiled and beckoned out, and a group of palace maids came in, holding a lot of jewelry and silk satin, "Niangniang shouldn't work too hard, these are things rewarded by the emperor, and the slaves and maids will not read them out one by one." ”
Concubine Hui smiled: "I'm tired of Father-in-law Yang." ”
After Yang Dean left, the queen mother's reward also came, and all the palaces also sent things over to see the direction of the wind, but no one came, after all, Queen Chen's side was also in the limelight, and at this time, no one dared to risk the queen's taboo.
Suiyue collected all the things in the private treasury according to the list, and said to Concubine Hui: "I really didn't expect that the emperor would promote you to a concubine, this is a great joy!" ”
Concubine Hui was also very happy, but she was still sensible, and said, "I'm afraid this is the emperor's compensation for the palace." ”
As soon as Suiyue heard it, she understood. "What the emperor means, let Niangniang stop pursuing ......"
Concubine Hui was silent for a moment and said: "The emperor doesn't let the palace pursue it, and the palace naturally can't hold on to this matter, but ......" She paused, revealing a mocking smile: "That palace maid will definitely be executed, and only this child is left with pity." The palace wants to come over to raise the baby girl personally, how to say, she also has a trace of fate in the palace, and it is not bad to keep it as a playmate with the Seventh Prince, presumably the Queen Mother will not stop it......"
Sui Yue was stunned: "What does this mean?" ”
Concubine Hui looked at her: "Hmph, Queen Chen wants to kill the children of this palace, but she can't be punished, she relies on Chen Ji's great achievements to smooth out this matter, how can this palace let her get her wish?" The palace left this child by his side to remind the emperor all the time that Empress Chen is vicious, and whenever she sees this child, the emperor will think of it! ”
………………
Qing Mansion, the third lady is leading people to count the dowry of the Rongguo Mansion according to the gift list, "Over the years, although the Rongguo Mansion has been smoky, the Xie family has desperately protected some of the family funds. ”
"In the end, there is sincerity!"
The third lady heard the old lady's voice and looked back: "Why did the mother come over?" ”
Qing Ruxu helped the old lady over and said, "In the end, it is the second sister's family business, how can grandmother really sit idly by, she wants to take a look." ”
The third lady handed the gift list to the old lady and said, "It is indeed full of sincerity, the second girl married in the past, if you can put your mind to rectify it, it will not be too unbearable to come to the Rongguo Mansion." ”
The old lady didn't speak for a long time, and she must have remembered the thing that Qing Ruchu had done. Qing Ruxu glanced at the third lady and changed the topic, and said: "Grandmother, my father is the eldest son of the long house, how can I do it with only three daughters, and when the granddaughter and the second sister get married, the big house is even more deserted, and the grandmother still has to worry more about my father." ”
When the old lady heard this, her attention was immediately diverted, "This is very true, your father always had many excuses before, and now he can't let him anymore." ”
The third lady thought for a while when she heard this, and said, "I don't know what kind of person my mother wants to find?" ”
"You don't need to be a big family, as long as you are honest and innocent, don't make those messy things. It's the best candidate! The old lady remembered the sins that Xiao Song had done for so many years, and she was very itchy at the root of her teeth.
The third lady said: "Mother, there is a cousin on my mother's side, when she married into her husband's family, her husband was gone before she had a round house, my aunt couldn't bear to let her be widowed in her husband's house, so she took her back, but the daughter who married out was always a little uncomfortable in the house, and she was cautious and never said much. If my mother thinks it's okay, I'll go back to my parents' house and ask. ”
