Chapter 238: Chai Guifei (1)
By the time Crescent Moon came out of the inner hall a little tired, Mercy and Chai Bijun were already waiting.
The two of them didn't deal with each other, and after sitting together for a while, Xinyue saw the triumphant pity at a glance, and Chai Bijun, who was so angry that his face was flushed, but he had to sit there.
Obviously, Mercy is talking about a noble concubine in their Chai family again.
After only a brief observation, Crescent Moon slowly stepped onto the chair in the center, the step tassel on her head falling on her forehead, and she reached out to pull it away.
And Chai Bijun and Mercy stood up and saluted the new moon in a dignified manner.
Xinyue had known Mercy for a long time, and because of her sister Mercy Moon, she had a kind of affection for her, so she smiled faintly at her. As for Chai Bijun, Xinyue's feelings towards her are much more complicated.
In her dream, Chai Bijun was the one who became Empress Rong Ying, and she allowed Rong Ying to gain the support of the Chai family and the Chai family's forces. Today's Chai Wangye is a close friend of the first emperor, and the two met in the first emperor's micro time, and because he is indeed a capable person, and he is the uncle of the prince who is highly expected by His Majesty, so he is quite powerful in the court. Even if the first emperor died, it did not alleviate much.
Originally, Chai Bijun had chips. Now in the middle of the court, Prime Minister Ji Heng is already old, and he wants to wait for the government to stabilize, and he will return to his hometown, so Chai Yunfan, the prince of Chai who has been under Prime Minister Ji for many years, is the best candidate for prime minister, and this is not something that Rong Ying can interfere with.
If Chai Bijun can persist until Rong Ying ascends the throne, then in order to get the support of the Chai family, Chai Bijun will also become Rong Ying's queen, but she didn't, but she was afraid that Rong Ying would not choose her, so she married him as a side concubine without hesitation, and now she can only be a concubine.
In the court, the only one who can compete with Lord Chai is the in-laws of the Jiang family, the nephew of Mrs. Zhuang, and Lord Zhuang Zhuan. He is the doctor of Xiantai and is in charge of the entire Imperial Historical Observatory.
So behind these two mothers, there are Bodhisattvas, not the new moon can be compared, if it is said that it is the support in the army, Jiang Lianxin is also better, although the old Marquis Jiang has passed away, but Jiang Yang has become the second only to Mu Wangye who is guarding in Dian Zhou in the army today, and is one of the last prestige generals in the army today. And Jiang Yang is Jiang Lianxin's little uncle.
Looking at it this way, Jiang Lianxin also has a lot of bargaining chips.
Xinyue, a woman who has been married and married someone else, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to be in her current position.
"Get up," Crescent Moon said, and the two of them also got up from the ground.
"Sit down, let's have tea." Xinyue has the habit of drinking cow's milk in the morning, so what she has in her hand is a cup of milk, she took it up, and when she was about to drink it, Chai Bijun stepped forward and knelt in front of Xinyue again, and gave her tea.
Serving tea to her husband's wife is a folk rule, but even when Rong Xu married Xiao, Xinyue did not enjoy this kind of treatment, this is her first experience, and it can be regarded as stable.
Compared with Chai Bijun's board and glance, she was much more merciful and lively, she refused to kneel in front of the new moon, raised the teacup above her head, and said loudly, "Please use the queen for tea"
After Xinyue drank tea, he rewarded the two, and the scene at this time was relatively mild, and he took the initiative to say, "Niangniang, yesterday my mother entered the palace, and talked about seeing you in the house, and said that I will see you for a while, but I must congratulate you well." ”
"The last time I saw Madame, I thought she was very haggard, I wonder if she is well?" New moon is available.
"Sister, you'll know when you see her in a while." Mercy spoke.
"Mercy, Chai Guifei, since the mercy has just been said, then the palace will tell you, the mother of the palace only gave birth to two children, the palace and the eldest brother of the palace, and there are no sisters and sisters in the palace, in the future, you will call the palace Niangniang, and the palace will call you the title or name. This palace is also a good one.,In this harem,There are only three of us at present.,This palace is also easy to manage.。 There will be more people in the future, and if there is a need, the palace may have to trouble the two, and when the time comes, please ask the two to help the palace. ”
"Niangniang is like this, do you want us to be separated?" Chai Bijun didn't speak, and Mercy relied on Xinyue's little liking for her, and began to play fools on Xinyue.
"It is said that in this harem, a group of women have stayed for a long time, longer than their own sisters have been together. is a biological sister, and both brothers must settle accounts clearly. We are all counting on a man to live, and the concubine feels that it is right for the mother to do this, don't be too intimate, and it won't be..."Chai Bijun actually began to echo Xinyue's words, but these words sounded a little harsh, and Xinyue had no way to listen to it anymore" This palace heard that when you were in the boudoir, you and Chai Guifei were friends with handkerchiefs, so you should be like sisters, you don't have to take care of this palace, you can still be commensurate with sisters, and this palace just thinks that there is a difference between respect and inferiority, so I don't want you to call this palace as sisters. ”
Hearing Xinyue say this, Mercy also Chai Bijun's face changed, and they all glanced at each other, and then they all answered Xinyue coldly, "Yes"
"Okay, since you can understand what Hongu means, then Hongu will talk about something else. Now, His Majesty has ascended the throne, although it is still during the state mourning, but for the royal family, the continuation of the heir is the most important thing. And His Majesty only has one child, the eldest prince, and his knees are thin. Therefore, the palace has already made it clear to His Majesty, and His Majesty has agreed that a group of newcomers can be selected into the palace after the New Year. And what His Majesty means, don't have a general election, just choose a group of women from the family. ”
"Yes" The two had long expected that there would be a newlyweds entering the palace, but they didn't expect that Xinyue would put this matter on the agenda on the second day after the wedding.
"I heard that before the palace came, the affairs of the harem were all handled by Chai Guifei, and tonight's palace banquet in the palace was also prepared by you?" The crescent moon can be a firewood wall.
Chai Bijun stood up and replied, "Yes"
"Yes, the matter of choosing a concubine will be handled by Chai Guifei." With a wave of her hand, Xinyue put this matter on Chai Bijun's shoulders.
"Niangniang"
"Niangniang"
Chai Bijun and Mercy really deserve to be friends in the boudoir, and the frequency of this unanimous voice is like this.
"Niangniang, at that time, it was because Niangniang did not marry into the palace, so Chai Guifei overstepped her responsibilities, but now there is a queen in the palace, and Chai Guifei is in charge of the selection of concubines, I am afraid it is not appropriate." Pity said loudly, anger already on his face.
Xinyue has always felt that Chai Bijun is a very methodical person, but Jiang Lianxin is such a simple person, he can still wantonly humiliate her, but she has no reaction at all, which really makes Xinyue feel strange.
Chai Bijun also echoed, "Yes, how can the concubine be virtuous." ”
"This shrine is for the sake of fairness. In the past, when the late Empress Dowager was there, she taught me about the harem, and weighing was the best means. Hongu... I am not very familiar with the women of the family in Beijing, and this selection is really a bit of a black eye. And Chai Guifei, you should be familiar with these women of the family when you follow the late Empress Dowager Chai. Since you have to weigh it, you have to take the advantages of each, this is the advantage of Chai Guifei, and with the help of Concubine Jiang Shu, you will definitely handle this matter well. Isn't it, mercy? Crescent Moon finally set her eyes on Mercy.
Rong Ying never said that he wanted to choose a concubine, but Xinyue, as the queen, naturally had to think about his heirs, and whether it was the Jiang family or the Chai family, it was not what he wanted to see. After selecting concubines and selecting a group of women from the family, in this way, Rong Ying was involved with other forces, and for the interests of their respective families, it was impossible for the Chai family to continue to grow bigger. Rong Ying is not the first emperor, he only loves one woman, he knows how to weigh better than Xinyue, so he will not object to Xinyue's choice of concubine.
As for why she gave this errand to Chai Bijun, Xinyue also has her own plans, first of all, because Chai Bijun has this ability, she has indeed been taught by Queen Chai, and again, she can't choose some concubines who are beneficial to the Chai family under the nose of pity, even if there is, then in Rong Ying, she will not be too pampered, but will complain.
The crescent moon can also fall easily.
"Yes, since Niangniang can trust Concubine Xiao, then Concubine Xiao Guifei also has to handle these things for you, and the concubine will also be on the side to assist and supervise." As he spoke, Mercy straightened his waist.
Chai Bijun's face changed, and he was about to say something, but Xinyue said in advance, "Pity, we are all doing things for Your Majesty again." Chai Guifei, this palace has just arrived, there are a lot of things to be busy with, this matter, all trouble you, if you need anything, you can manage the internal division, this palace will notify the internal division, full support and you, okay? ”
"Yes, the concubine will live up to the high expectations of Your Majesty and your mother."
"Yes, though. After a while, the nobles will enter the palace, and the palace will be ready, so you can go down first. As he spoke, Crescent Moon waved his hand to see off the guest.
After they saluted, they both withdrew.
Chai Bijun still has a cold face, she and Rong Ying are actually a natural pair, they are both masters of joy and anger, but Jiang Lianxin still uses words to sarcastically take pleasure.
"Guifei Niangniang, why doesn't this palace know that there are rumors in this capital that you are a close friend of this palace's boudoir? Hongu remembers that you just met with Hongu before Hongu's ceremony, and what kind of gift did you give Hongu? In short, it was with that gadget that that I got along with the palace. This palace just mentioned it casually, you came to the palace and the ceremony, and then as long as there is an occasion for His Majesty, you will be there, think about it, these are all coincidences. Jiang Lianxin chased after Chai Bijun, looking at Chai Bijun's expressionless face, she also turned red, thinking that she was angry, but she still followed unrelentingly.
In the past, Chai Bijun always ignored her, but this time he paused, looked back at Jiang Lianxin, and said, "Sister Shufei, speaking of which, the queen is respectful, and the two of us are inferior, so we should be sympathetic to each other." ”
"Oh, the queen said that you are humble and killed your heart? Yes, your Chai family has always been a noble queen mother, and there has never been, there has never been a concubine, of course you don't like the words of the mother. It's just that, even if some people's hearts are higher than the sky, they will see if they are worthy of it, what happened to the birth of the queen's family, Your Majesty doesn't like it, let you be this lowly person, what can you do. Your queen mother, married for the second time, didn't you marry Your Majesty again and became a noble person. Jiang Lianxin knew that Chai Bijun was provoking the relationship between herself and the queen as soon as she heard it, although she never shy away from words, but she was not stupid, so she would not be the enemy of the queen as soon as she came up. As long as this queen does not commit a mortal crime, it is impossible to be deposed, and if she is not deposed, she and Chai Bijun are just concubines.
"You have to mention the matter of our Chai family? Your sister was also posthumously crowned queen, why are you just a little concubine? Chai Bijun rarely sneered at each other, and seemed to have lost his former reason.
This move really aroused Jiang Pian's curiosity, "Chai Bijun, you are angry, it turns out that you are angry like this." Also, I thought, I've been talking about it for so long, you should be angry. As for what you said, little concubine? I think it's good, I've never been greedy for things that aren't my own. Your Majesty is my sister's husband, and I married Your Majesty only because my sister is gone, and our Jiang family needs me, so I married in. And you are different, you have other desires besides the honor of your family. Chai Bijun, be careful, if you are too greedy, you will be like the snake that swallows the elephant, explodes itself in the belly, and dies a miserable death. My mother is going to enter the palace in a while, I will go back to prepare first, and there are still a few young concubines in our Jiang family, so I want to enter the palace to be elected. Saying that, Jiang Lianxin looked at Chai Bijun, whose expression on his face had been deformed, and left with a hearty laugh.
And Chai Bijun was angry in his heart, and he stumbled and almost fell, "You, you..."
But Jiang Lianxin has already gone away, and Chai Bijun will not go up to reason with her to get a character. She could only turn around and glance at the gate of Kun Palace, and the maid Taro stepped forward to help Chai Bijun, "Niangniang, are you okay?" ”
"Something not your own? How can this be something that is not your own? If there is no Xu Xinyue, the position of the queen, how can Your Majesty not be mine? Chai Bijun clenched his fists and said to his maid.
"Niangniang, the slave and maid look at it, the queen is not a difficult person to deal with, as soon as she came up, she said that she was so respectful and inferior that she was separated from you and the concubine, it didn't look like a city government." Taro speaks out.
Chai Bijun frowned, she thought of another possibility, but she felt that Xinyue didn't need to be so twisting and turning, but with her understanding of Xinyue, she felt that she was not a person without a city government, and after weighing a few things, Chai Bijun tried to say, "She should, because she is afraid that I and Jiang Lianxin will join forces to deal with her." ”
"Since I'm afraid that you and Concubine Shu will join forces, then I should win you or Concubine Shu even more."
"No, she doesn't bother to woo us, didn't he say it? The two of us are inferior, she is respectful, she is like, like telling Concubine Shu again, let her recognize herself, thus... Thus..."Chai Bijun felt that his brain was buzzing, and he was so angry that he couldn't calm down, so he had to go back to the palace first, and then do what he thought.
