"By the way, Concubine Ai, the eldest princess of Yi'an has returned to Beijing, and I will take care of her tonight, and you will be in charge of the banquet at night." The emperor said softly to Concubine Lin.

Concubine Lin frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, the banquets in the palace, no matter how big or small, are they all handled by the queen?" Isn't it inappropriate to let the concubine take over? ”

The emperor waved his hand directly, "There is nothing inappropriate, the queen is unwell, so she will not attend tonight's banquet, you are a concubine, and you should take over." ”

Besides, the Yao family has offended the eldest princess of Nghe An very much, and the eldest princess of Ngee An may not want to see Queen Yao.

Concubine Lin didn't ask much, and nodded obediently, "The concubine obeys the order, but the concubine rarely did these things in the past, if there is something inappropriate, Your Majesty, don't scold the concubine." ”

Hearing this, the emperor smiled and said, "How can I scold my concubine? However, Concubine Ai reminded me that the queen's ability is shallow, and it is inevitable that she will be a little powerless in taking care of the harem. ”

Concubine Lin's beautiful eyes were stunned, as if she was taken aback, "Your Majesty, this is ...... That's not right. The concubine is stupid, but she is afraid that she will not do well. ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." The emperor touched Lin Guifei is soft and said softly, "I believe in Aifei, Aifei must do better than the queen." ”

The emperor never hid his dislike for Empress Yao.

Concubine Lin Guifei was silent for a moment, and then said softly: "Your Majesty favors the concubine and gives the concubine grace, and the concubine is grateful. It's just that the concubines are soft-spoken, licking the position of the concubine, and they are already uneasy, and if they take over the affairs of the harem again, the concubines will be even more unstable. If Your Majesty really pities the concubines, it is better to assign another sister to assist the queen mother and take care of the harem with the concubines. ”

Lin Guifei's voice is soft, like a pearl and jade, and her voice is crisp and pleasant.

Her voice was good, and the words she said were also reasonable, gentle and decent, so the emperor nodded and agreed, "That's fine, lest anyone be jealous of Concubine Ai and make Concubine Ai unhappy." It's just that which concubine is assigned? Is there a suitable candidate for Aifei? ”

Lin Guifei thought for a while, "According to her position, she should naturally be the younger sister of Concubine Shu." ”

"Concubine Shu, no." The emperor shook his head, "She is not in good health, she is often sick, and she needs someone to take care of her, where can she have the energy to take care of the harem." ”

Lin Guifei said again: "Sister Concubine Shu can't do it, what about Sister Xian?" ”

"Concubine Xian......" The emperor lowered his eyes and thought about it, but he didn't say good, nor did he say bad.

Concubine Lin said with a smile: "The concubine thinks that Concubine Xian's sister is the concubine of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and she is a woman raised by a big family, and it is not a problem to deal with harem affairs." Your Majesty, what do you think? ”

The emperor was silent for a while, and then nodded, "Then let Concubine Xian assist you in managing the harem together, but the position of the concubine is higher, and you should be the main one." ”

"Yes, the concubine understands." The smile on Lin Guifei's face deepened.

The emperor talked to Lin Guifei for a while, and then left......

"Mother, Your Majesty is gone." Lang Qiu watched the emperor walk out of Yongyang Palace, and then came back to report to Concubine Lin.

Concubine Lin leaned lazily on the soft couch, "Watching him leave Yongyang Palace?" ”

Lang Qiu nodded, "The slave maid has seen it with her own eyes, and His Majesty has removed the gate of Yongyang Palace. ”

"Finally gone." Concubine Lin rubbed her eyebrows, "Xu has been in the palace for a long time, and the palace feels more and more tired." Sometimes, the palace hopes in their hearts that His Majesty will not come to Yongyang Palace. ”

"Niangniang is unwell, do you want Imperial Doctor Xuan to come and take a look?" Lang Qiu suggested.

Concubine Lin shook her head, "No need, there is no big problem in this palace, but I am a little tired." It doesn't matter, someone will soon share the burden for Hongu. ”

"Concubine Huo Xian, don't let this palace down......" The corners of Lin Guifei's lips hooked up with a touch of mockery.

Lang Qiu looked at Concubine Lin Guifei, "Niangniang, did you deliberately recommend Concubine Huo Xian to assist in the harem?" ”

Concubine Lin chuckled and said, "If it weren't for the Yao family's pursuit of the Jingbei Hou Mansion recently, this palace wouldn't know that Concubine Huo Xian still has this ability." It's a pity, it's been hidden for so many years, and I haven't even seen the main palace. Bengong quietly pulled her, whether she can stand firm, it depends on herself. ”

"Niangniang, Concubine Huo Xian is hiding so deeply, will she raise tigers in the future?" Lang Qiu said worriedly.

Lin Guifei hooked her lips and smiled, "This palace really hopes that she can be a tiger." ”

……

Among the women in the entire harem, the emperor's least favorite is Empress Yao, and he is naturally happy to let Empress Yao add to the blockage, so he quickly issued a holy decree, sympathizing with the queen's hard work, and the special concubine Lin and Concubine Huo are assistant harems, and tell the six palaces.

The holy decree was transmitted to the Changqiu Palace, and Empress Yao was so angry that she almost didn't go away, but she still had to grit her teeth and thank the emperor Longen, who told the emperor's holy decree to be sympathetic to the queen's hard work?

Contrary to Empress Yao, Concubine Huo Xian was stunned for a moment when she received the holy decree, and then her heart was full of joy, and she thanked the Holy Grace again and again.

After the attendant who announced the decree left, Concubine Huo Xian held the decree in her hand and looked greedily at every word on the decree, and the smile on her face was about to faint, "Okay, your majesty really still values this palace, and it is not in vain that this palace has been low in front of the queen for so long." ”

"The queen, that stupid woman, thinks that with the support of the queen mother, she can do nothing." Concubine Huo Xian sneered, "It's ridiculous! This palace wants to give her all the pain that she inflicted on this palace! ”

The palace maid Xiuqin hurriedly echoed with a smile: "Congratulations to the slave maid, congratulations to the mother." ”

Concubine Huo Xian's face was about to smile like a flower, but she said: "Congratulations to this palace now, it's still early, Your Majesty just asked this palace to assist from the side, and I don't know how much real power falls into the hands of this palace." ”

"Your Majesty doesn't like Queen Yao, Concubine Lin Guifei is not from a high background, and her temperament is also weak, how can you have your wrist, according to the slave maid, it won't be long before all the power in the harem will fall into the hands of Niangniang." Xiuqin just picked out some nice things to say to Concubine Huo Xian, she wished that her master was in power. During these days, Empress Yao hit Concubine Huo Xian desperately, so that the life of the entire Yuxiu Palace was not easy.

Concubine Huo Xian was very happy to hear this, and the smile on her face couldn't help but become brighter, "I hope so." ”

"However, this palace has some doubts in my heart, why did Your Majesty suddenly make a decree, could it be that someone said something in Your Majesty's ear?" In addition to being happy, Concubine Huo Xian still did not forget to be vigilant.

Xiuqin took over, "Xu is because His Majesty was completely annoyed by the Yao family and Empress Yao, so he assigned Niangniang and Lin Guifei to assist in the harem. ”

Concubine Huo Xian thought for a while, "It's possible, it's the eldest ......princess of Yi'an who the Yao family has offended."

Mentioning this matter, Concubine Huo Xian had other concerns, investigating the matter of military salaries, she and Chu Li also intervened, this matter could not be known by the eldest princess of Yi'an, otherwise the Yao family's today would be their tomorrow. Concubine Huo Xian immediately ordered someone to send a message to Chu Li, so that he could deal with everything that should be dealt with.

When the palace people sent a message to Chu Li, it happened that Zhou Jinzhi was also there.

"You go back and tell the concubine, what should have been dealt with has already been dealt with, and the concubine still has to be careful in the palace, don't be caught." Chu Li didn't necessarily feel very happy, but frowned and looked worried.

Zhou Jinzhi's eyes were slightly raised, "Concubine Xian Niangniang has received a grace, but His Royal Highness doesn't seem to be happy?" ”

"The mother concubine has the right to associate the harem, which is naturally a happy event. Another thing that the palace is worried about......" Chu Li's tone was slightly deep, "The matter of military salaries, what the palace has done, the prince is afraid that he already knows." The prince and the Locke family have a good relationship, and what he says, the Locke family is likely to choose to believe. This palace doesn't want to be demoted like the Yao family. ”

"What should I have done, this is it." Zhou Jinzhi didn't care, "Your Highness, although rest assured, even if the prince knows, it's useless, he has no evidence." If he had evidence, he wouldn't have revealed the news to the Yao family, wouldn't it be better to go directly to His Majesty to expose it? Without evidence, even if the eldest princess of Nghe An wanted to attack His Royal Highness, she would not be able to do it. ”

"Besides......" A faint smile hung on the corner of Zhou Jinzhi's lips, "The prince still wants to keep His Royal Highness to fight with the five princes, he won't let the Luo family touch you at this time." ”

Hearing this, Chu Li's pupils instantly dilated, "The prince also wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman!" ”

"Hasn't he always been proud and disdainful of using such means, why has he changed his temper now." Chu Li's tone was full of disdain.

Zhou Jinzhi said thoughtfully: "The prince disdains to use it, but the strategists around him are good at tricks. ”

Chu Li's eyes were horizontal, and he bit out three words from between his teeth: "Huo!" Long! Brocade! ”
