Chapter 426: Whether they are noble or not, they are all chess pieces
However, a few years of light and shadow passed in a hurry, and in less than ten years, she became Her Royal Highness the Queen under the personal coronation of the king, and the noble power enjoyed by Her Royal Highness was undoubtedly extremely attractive, but she was unmoved, nor confused, but she had to firmly hold the power in her hands for herself and her family.
After all, becoming Her Royal Highness the Queen requires responsibility, not only to manage and balance the concubines in the harem, but also to make the family behind him prosperous, and to make the identity and status of Her Royal Highness the Queen completely unshakable, so as to ensure that the rest of your life will not fall into the miserable rain.
It wasn't until that court feast that Her Royal Highness the Queen, who had long respected the king like 'ice', met the court dancer--- the court dancer who danced brilliantly and beautifully. When she saw the court dancer for the first time, she had already secretly made up her mind in her heart that she must leave this woman in the harem.
And it is not simply to stay, but to become a concubine canonized by the king Chrysostom.
Her Royal Highness knows that there will be countless warblers and pearls on the king's side, and she is powerless to stop them, because once she stops and fights, then it is equivalent to launching a severe challenge to the entire royal etiquette and palace rules, which is a very stupid act, and she will not let herself do that.
Because she is not just one person--- behind her, there is also a noble and prominent family.
With the increasing number of noble concubines in the palace, the existence of these concubines indirectly threatens the supreme and noble status of Her Royal Highness the Queen, after all, as the saying goes--- the embankment of a thousand miles collapses in the anthill, even though Her Royal Highness the Queen is already a noble and unparalleled Fengyi, but in the eyes of these concubines, it is just a dam that can be eaten.
Even if the rank and status of the concubines are far from being comparable to the dignity and glory of Her Majesty the Empress, if these concubines of noble birth join forces and attack Her Royal Highness the Empress, then even the queen who is high in the royal family of the Sakura Kingdom will be difficult to deal with easily.
There was only one solution--- and that was to choose the piece she wanted.
The whole palace is just a chessboard full of stars, and the chess players are not only the king, but also Her Royal Highness the queen. Both of them have to play on the chessboard, the former fighting in the cabinet to consolidate the imperial power, and the latter fighting in the palace, balancing the concubines.
When Her Royal Highness quietly presented an opportunity to show herself to the dancer, the dancer made a decision that she liked almost instantly. Seducing a man is a very simple thing for a beauty, especially a beautiful beauty.
The appearance and posture of this court dancing girl is enough to kill the imperial concubines in the palace in an instant, and the only one who can match her is Her Royal Highness, but the beauty of the dancing queen is charming, while the beauty of Her Royal Highness the Queen is graceful and luxurious, and the appearance of the two is exquisite and flawless, but they are very different in temperament.
When this lowly court dancer appeared at the court feast, her seductive figure and beautiful face attracted the king's attention almost instantly. Her Royal Highness did not notice that when the dancing queen appeared on the stage, the king glanced at her with a dim look.
The glance contained extremely strong pain and sorrow, as well as deep remorse and guilt, as the king of Sakura, his self-esteem and pride are important, but what really makes him unable to truly repent and apologize to his wife is --- heavy and unchangeable regulation that will still take concubines in the future.
The rift between the two has already spread to a thousand holes, how easy is it to repair these scars and cracks? What's more, as the monarch of the Sakura Kingdom, behind the canonization of every concubine in the palace, there is a special meaning, and it represents many bets involving interests, so the king has no way to protect his promise.
Guarding the ...... A precious commitment for a lifetime and a couple.
When I was young, I thought that promises were as heavy as Mount Tai, but when I grew up, I realized that promises are the most ethereal and useless things in this world. Therefore, Her Royal Highness the Queen who has grown up only needs a chess piece, a chess piece that can balance the entire harem concubines.
The origin of this chess piece does not need to be very noble, because that will endanger the status of Her Royal Highness, so this chess piece only needs to be favored by the king, even if it gets all the favor of the king, Her Royal Highness the Queen does not care, anyway, there can only be one Her Royal Highness in Sakura Country--- that is her.
It is not so easy to become Her Royal Highness, first of all, the woman's origin is extremely strict, and secondly, the power and interests that this woman maintains symbolize. And even if a court dancer is favored, her humble and lowly background is there, and she will never be able to surpass Her Royal Highness the Queen and become an equal existence with the lord of the harem.
Ironically, there are no qualifications to be compared to Her Royal Highness the Queen.
After all, the court dancing queen is just a plaything kept by the royal family and nobles in a golden wire cage.
When this court dancer was favored by the king and canonized as a dancing concubine at the court feast, Her Royal Highness the queen smiled brilliantly. She was so delighted with the piece she had gotten that she was so excited, that she naturally ignored the king's gloom.
With the successive promotions of the dancing concubines, until the king wanted to canonize her as Her Royal Highness, Her Royal Highness the Queen was never half flustered. Because in today's Sakura Kingdom Palace, there are too many concubines from noble and prominent families, among which there are more than a dozen imperial concubines alone, which is enough to show that more and more families have been born in the country.
And they are all families with deep heritage and should not be underestimated.
The nobles and nobles strongly opposed the king's canonization of a woman born as a palace dancer as His Royal Highness, and the concubines in the harem were also the same, after all, no one liked a powerful enemy in the palace, especially a powerful enemy with a peerless appearance, who was deeply favored, and the scheming city government did not lose to them at all.
Under the strong opposition of the powerful ministers and nobles, as well as the persuasion of many famous families, the king's idea of canonizing the imperial concubine has been somewhat shaken, but what everyone did not expect was that Her Royal Highness the queen actually supported the king's decision in the end, and she supported the king to canonize the dancing concubine as Her Royal Highness.
At that time, not to mention those powerful ministers and nobles, even the royal relatives and nobles, as well as the people outside the palace, thought that Her Royal Highness the Queen was crazy? Such a concubine who is deeply favored by the king, if she is canonized as Her Royal Highness, then it will inevitably cause a lot of threats and influences to the position of Her Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness the Queen is tantamount to emptying his power by doing so.
When Her Royal Highness the Queen's family learned of this, the elders of the worried clan did not close their eyes for several days and nights, and they entered the palace in a hurry after getting the permission of the king, trembling and frightened and asking Her Royal Highness the Queen, reprimanding her for wanting to bury her bones in this palace and become a loser trampled on in the palace and a victim of the concubine's ascendancy?
Unexpectedly, Her Royal Highness the Queen at that time just said lightly: "A chess piece is just a chess piece, and it can also help me balance the harem, and it is clear who is the victim at a glance." ”
It was this sentence that instantly woke up the elders and relatives who were concerned about the chaos, they had lived a noble and comfortable life outside the palace, and they no longer wanted anything, the only concern was the eldest lady in the clan who married into the palace, and she was the only eldest lady in the bloodline.
They don't want the children in the clan to become the existence of being bullied and trampled on, even though the family is powerful, but in the final analysis, Her Royal Highness the Queen is fighting alone in the palace after all, fighting with the concubines in the entire harem, how can the relatives and elders in the family not worry and fear about this?
Blood kinship is a precious bond in this world.
The delicate embroidery pattern of the phoenix nirvana is flowing with the luster of the peacock feather line, Nan Zuisheng raised his eyes and stared at Her Royal Highness the queen who was high above, and the deeds about the queen in the depths of his heart gradually faded, replaced by indescribable sympathy and compassion: "Warning...... It sounds a bit interesting, but I didn't expect that the two emperors and queens, who seemed to be inseparable, were the most closely involved existence in the palace. ”
At this point, she lowered her eyes and sighed softly, and what caught her eye was Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine sitting on the throne at the lower right, and the honor of the gorgeous crown and beautiful dress soaked Nan Zuisheng's ink eyes into brilliant gold, which was enough to show the king's favor and connivance to her: "But between the two people, there is one more Imperial Concubine, and frankly speaking, I really can't guess the mind of this monarch more and more." ”
Smart and wise as Nan Zuisheng, even if she has a mind that God particularly prefers to give, but in terms of scheming, she is really inferior to the two emperors and queens of the Sakura Kingdom, especially the king with a beautiful face and a calm and dignified temperament.
The king of Sakura is not angry and arrogant, and his body is surrounded by the domineering spirit that belongs to the emperor alone, and there is a kind of coercion that makes people feel involuntarily want to surrender, and that kind of coercion even the current Nanfusheng sighs to himself, because it is a kind of imperial majesty that can only be forged after experiencing court overturning and multiple tribulations.
All in all, the sophistication and wisdom of this Sakura monarch is no less than that of Nan Zuisheng's father, --- Nanzheng.
Perhaps in a strict sense, the Southern Expedition is not as good as the king's scheming city, and the imperial majesty engraved in the temperament of the bones, thinking about it, it seems that only the old general Nan can compete with it, after all, the momentum of the two is very close, and they both faintly reveal a dangerous aura after experiencing the baptism of killing.
Nan Fusheng stared at the compassion and doubts in Nan Zuisheng's eyes, shook his head slightly, and motioned to the other party to disperse all the compassion and sympathy in his eyes, so as not to be discovered by the superiors: "Sakura is a country ruled by imperial power, and the democracy of Xuan is naturally different, where the royal family is the supreme and noble existence, symbolizing power and status. ”
He raised his hand and held the carved marigold, the amber wine contained in it was slightly rippling with honey-like color, and the deep and gorgeous phoenix eyes glanced at the imperial concubines in the palace, Nan Fusheng lowered his voice and slowly explained to Nan Zuisheng: "Although the king's harem can canonize countless concubines, the interests involved in these concubines are intricate, and they belong to a subtle relationship of mutual checks and balances and mutual constraints. ”
Hearing Nan Fusheng say this, what else did Nan Zuisheng not understand?
Because of the complex interests, Her Royal Highness the Queen needs the chess piece of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine, and the king also needs the presence of Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine to help the Queen balance the harem, and rely on these concubines to determine the direction of the powerful ministers and nobles in the cabinet.
