Chapter 286: Suffering?
Before Zhu Changluo entered the palace, he once thought that Queen Wang had some troubles, so he would hide the news in the palace, and later he found Yun Niang with the help of Liang Yong, after Yun Niang told him about Princess Rongchang, he thought that Queen Wang was a daughter in love, so she would be controlled everywhere.

After all, Queen Wang and the Zheng family have been fighting for so many years, although the means are not weak, but when it comes to her only daughter, it is inevitable that there will be chaos......
But these conjectures were all rejected when he saw Queen Wang, and he could see that Queen Wang's calmness and calmness were not pretended, but really Zhizhu in his hands.
Needless to ask, Queen Wang must have her own purpose for tolerating like this, and there must be hidden secrets that she doesn't know......
Unexpectedly, Queen Wang didn't answer his question, glanced lightly outside the warm pavilion, and asked rhetorically.
"Luo'er, although you haven't had much contact with the Zheng family in the palace, you should be able to see who she is, do you think she is so sharp?"
After a moment of silence, Zhu Changluo shook his head slowly.
Although he is now hostile to the Zheng family, there is still a fair evaluation of a person's mind, although I don't know how it is now, but when he was in the palace in his early years, the Zheng family was indeed guarding against arrogance and rashness, and kept his duty, except for being a little domineering on weekdays, there is nothing else to blame, of course, this is just in the harem, Zheng is guarding a duty as a concubine, as for her instigating and instigating the emperor to make her son the crown prince, it is another matter.
Frankly speaking, it is no accident that the Zheng family has been able to keep the emperor's favor for so many years, although she is arrogant, but she understands proportion, and treats her palace people very well, which is why the Empress Dowager Li has kept her to this day.
Thinking about it carefully, all the methods he saw after entering the palace were full of the meaning of villain's ambition, and such an unbeatable nouveau riche appearance really didn't look like Zheng's style......
Seeing that Zhu Changluo was still frowning and thinking, Queen Wang sighed and continued.
"It's no wonder that you can't understand it, the battle in this harem is no lighter than that of the outside court!"
"This son knows, in fact, in the son's opinion, this palace is no different from the outer court, there are many friends in the outer court, and there are countless forces in this palace, clamping each other, but the struggle in this palace is more cruel, if the outer court is defeated, at most it is just a dismissal and return to the hometown, and the defeat in the palace is an abyss......"
In his previous life, Zhu Changluo had also watched a lot of palace fighting dramas, so he naturally knew how deep the water in the harem was, just like he had threatened someone at the beginning, hundreds of palace maids and attendants disappeared in the palace every year for no reason, and occasionally those who found them had already become dry bones, which shows how cruel this harem battle is.
But it is precisely because of this that he is full of confidence in the queen and queen, and he can manage the harem in an orderly manner in such an environment, and sit firmly in the middle palace for more than ten years, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
Queen Wang was a little surprised by his tone, it was the first time she had heard others compare the battle of the harem with the party struggle of the foreign dynasty, but after thinking about it carefully, there were many similarities, so she nodded and said.
"In this case, my mother will be much more relieved to talk to you next, this palace is indeed somewhat similar to the outer court, the concubines in the palace are grouped together, forming their own forces, all kinds of tricks in the open and secret, although the palace has the queen's treasure seal in its hands, but since it bears this name, it is necessary to take the responsibility of managing the harem, if these people are really desperate to make some ugly things, the mother is still secondary, if it is spread outside to lose the royal face, it is a big deal, so the affairs in this palace must be handled carefully."
Zhu Changluo listened to these words, and suddenly remembered a popular saying in later generations, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight, and it is appropriate to use it at this moment!
You must know that the position of the queen is not stable and will not fall, even the emperor has the possibility of being abolished in these years, let alone the position of a queen, if there are all kinds of things in this harem, there is no need for Zhu Yijun to do it, and those ministers of the foreign dynasty will impeach the queen for immorality.
But the queen didn't care much, she was already used to it in this palace, and after a slight pause, she continued to speak.
"If the most powerful force in this palace is the Queen Mother, it is none other than the Queen Mother, but her old man is devoted to the Buddha, and if it is not necessary, she will not pay attention to these mundane things, so this burden will fall on the mother's body......"
This is modest, the Empress Dowager Li is indeed powerful, but in the end, the lord of the six palaces is still the queen mother, not to mention that the Empress Dowager Li is the queen mother after all, as long as the emperor is still the emperor, no one can shake her status, so the matter of Gong Dou does not have any interest in her, it is normal not to interfere much, but it has nothing to do with concentrating on the Buddha.
However, Zhu Changluo would not say these words, and continued to listen to Queen Wang.
"According to the regulations, in addition to the main palace, there should be two noble concubines and several concubines in this palace, as for the concubines and show girls below, it is not a climate, so you don't have to care.
But for some reasons, now only the Zheng family occupies the position of concubine, and the rest are concubines, and the reason for this must be clear to you......"
Of course, Zhu Changluo knew that because of the position of this concubine, it should have belonged to his mother-in-law Wang, in fact, when the emperor's eldest son was born, the ministers were very dissatisfied with the emperor only giving the Wang family an ordinary concubine, in their opinion, the emperor's eldest son is a candidate who may become the prince in the future, and the mother should naturally have the corresponding position.
But it was still early to come, and the emperor insisted, so the matter was over, and later Zhu Changxun was born, and the emperor was happy to directly elevate Zheng's position to the concubine, and it was strongly opposed by the ministers, and the two sides quarreled, and finally broke up.
But after all, this is a matter of the harem, the arm can't twist the thigh, and in the end the ministers still compromised, but because of this, a consensus has been formed in the court, if there is another concubine, it must be Concubine Gong, especially in recent years, the battle for the country has intensified, and this point has become more and more firm.
Otherwise, one day Zhu Changluo really became the crown prince, the mother of the prince of the East Palace, which is not as good as the mother of an ordinary prince, what kind of system!
So of course, so far, the Zheng family has become the only concubine in the palace, and has become the highest-ranking person in the palace except for the queen.
Let's talk about the rest of the people, although his father Zhu Yijun dotes on the Zheng family, but he can't change the problem of greedy flowers and lust, there are still a lot of people in this harem, there are nine imperial concubines with concubines alone, and there are even more concubines below......
"And the rest of the concubines, there are also differences, some of them have a higher natural status, more power, and nothing else, if they are young and beautiful, they can be compared, if they are old and decrepit, they are only left to live by guarding the concubine position......"
"Now there are some people in the palace, the Zheng family is counted as one, Concubine Zhou Duan, and Concubine Li Shun are also counted, but the two of them are old, but they are not ambitious, but some new women are quite restless......"
A hint of inexplicable color flashed in Queen Wang's eyes, and she spoke.
And Zhu Changluo was also moved in his heart, and vaguely heard something, although there are not many new women in the palace in the past two years, there are also many of them, but if you talk about the most ambitious and powerful among them, I am afraid that there are only ......
"Yes, Concubine Li Jing and the Zheng family have teamed up!"
Queen Wang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said softly.
