Chapter 361: Difficulty

At the insistence of the Queen Mother, a ceremony of sealing concubines without a person was finally over, and after this huge ceremony, the people who participated in the ceremony left the scene with different looks.

The protagonist of this farce, the former sister of the envoy of Dongying, has now become a transcendent imperial concubine in the harem, and she herself is still sleeping quietly.

It wasn't until the evening, when the twilight was four, and the imperial dining room had prepared dinner, and the palace people from each palace hurriedly went to the imperial dining room to receive dinner, that the noble imperial concubine woke up leisurely.

The imperial concubine slowly opened her heavy eyes, feeling a slight headache, she reached out and rubbed her forehead, the scene in front of her gradually became clear, she looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of her, and saw a wide yellow rosewood bed lying under her.

Huanghuarosewood is very precious, and in their east, even the rich and noble families are only used to make tables, chairs or other small utensils for entertaining VIPs, which shows how rare the big bed made of huanghuarosewood she is lying on now is.

The bed tent is made of luxurious tencel, now the weather is hot, the ordinary bed tent will make the inner room more stuffy and breathable, this tencel is as thin as a cicada's wings, which can transmit light and will not isolate the cool breeze in the room, making people feel very comfortable, of course, the value is also expensive.

On the steps of the corner of the bed sat a palace maid dressed in palace clothes, who had been guarding the side, and when she saw that the imperial concubine had woken up, she hurriedly stood up and saluted her.

"Imperial Concubine Niangniang, you have finally woken up." The little palace maid took a warm cup of tea diligently, and then spoke.

"I've already entered the palace?" The imperial concubine had slept all day, and she really felt that her mouth was dry, so she took the teacup and drank it all, and then spoke.

The imperial concubine has been asleep since she came out of the embassy, and after the concubine ceremony, she was sent directly to the dormitory by the palace people, she didn't know that she had slept all day, and directly missed the concubine ceremony, so she would ask such a question.

"Yes, Niangniang, you have been asleep, and after the ceremony ended, you were sent in directly, and the slave saw that you slept soundly, so she didn't disturb." The little maid replied.

How long have I slept for me?

After listening to the words of the palace maid, the imperial concubine was very surprised, and then thought that she should have cried for a long time because of marrying Jiuhu as a concubine, and she had not rested well, so she would fall asleep on the day of the concubine ceremony, and she slept all day.

No, the imperial concubine still feels a little sleepy now. Her sweetheart has always been Zhao Yun, and now she is married to Jiuhu as a concubine against her original intentions, she does not feel sorry for not being able to attend the concubine ceremony, and she doesn't think much about it after asking about it.

After dinner, the imperial concubine sat in the palace and waited for the arrival of the nine foxes. Although she didn't like Nine Fox, she also knew that the honor and disgrace of the rest of her life in the future would depend on Nine Fox's love for her.

Even if she didn't want to, the imperial concubine planned to use the whole body solution to please the Nine Fox, but to the disappointment of the imperial concubine, she sat in the dormitory for most of the night, but she still couldn't wait for the arrival of the Nine Fox.

Early the next morning, the imperial concubine sent the palace maids to inquire and learned that the emperor had spent the night directly in the imperial study last night.

In the early days, the civil and military officials waited for the arrival of the emperor, and the people were talking in groups, and the voices in the hall were noisy.

It wasn't until the Nine Fox appeared that the ministers stopped their voices and knelt down together to say goodbye.

After standing up, the most intense discussion of Shicai looked at each other, and the old minister led by him stood up.

"What's going on with Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, what the old minister wants to say is about yesterday's concubine ceremony, how arrogant the Dongying people were yesterday, they dared not attend the concubine ceremony, according to the old minister's opinion, the imperial concubine can be dismissed." The old minister who was supported by the audience said.

"That's right, Your Majesty, Dongying people don't attend the concubine ceremony, they obviously don't value this matter, since the other party has not shown sincerity, there is no need to continue this matter." As soon as the old minister's words fell, another minister stood up and said.

Some of the ministers of the court and the central government complained that the imperial concubine did not appear in the palace for a while, and some of the same people who had female dependents in the harem who were concubines also came out to say that the Dongying woman was not virtuous and was really not worthy of being ranked as the imperial concubine.

Of course, there are also people of the Lord and faction who are in the court and mud. They believe that this matter is related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, since the concubine ceremony has ended, and the sister of the Dongying envoy has now become the imperial concubine, this is a sure thing, why bother to make extraneous branches?

In the eyes of these lords and factions, the harmonious relations between the two countries are the most important, and there is no need to worry about these trivial matters.

The ministers in the court expressed their opinions, and the nine foxes sitting on the dragon chair had a headache when they heard it. The big eunuch standing beside him naturally sensed Jiuhu's emotions, so he cleared his throat loudly, interrupting everyone's argument.

"I know that I am the king of a country, and it is a state affair to marry the sister of the Dongying envoy into the palace and be crowned as the imperial concubine, but this is also my family matter, this matter is approved by the queen mother, as a son, I naturally have to be filial to the queen mother, since the concubine ceremony has ended, this matter can not be discussed again." Jiuhu's gaze swept over the courtiers, and then said majestically.

The people in the early court were all the ministers of the humerus of the court, and they naturally heard the voice of the emperor in the words that seemed to calm the matter, yes, what is the use of them discussing this matter here, this matter is approved by the queen mother, and even the emperor is helpless!

Since ancient times, the interference of foreign relatives in politics is the main reason for the turmoil and turmoil in the imperial court, and the ministers remembered a series of previous behaviors of the queen mother, and they were dissatisfied with the queen mother's interference.

Now that Jiuhu has been able to take charge on his own, and he is in the prime of life, it is time for the Queen Mother to delegate power, but this matter needs to be slowly figured out.

In Cining Palace, the Queen Mother asked the lady in charge next to her about the imperial concubine, but learned that Jiuhu slept in the imperial study last night.

"Queen Mother, what are you doing in such a hurry to summon your sons?" After getting off the morning court, Jiuhu heard that the Queen Mother had summoned him, and he guessed that it might be because of what happened last night, but when he arrived at the Queen Mother, he pretended not to know, he wanted to see how the Queen Mother questioned himself.

"I heard that you rested in the imperial study last night?" The Queen Mother took the teacup in her hand, took a sip and said.

"I was too tired from reading last night, so I just rested there. I didn't expect the queen mother to care so much about her sons, and even such a trivial matter was very clear. Jiuhu's eyes looked at the Queen Mother, and he said meaningfully.

"The mourning family knows that you don't like that Dongying woman, but you let her stay alone in the empty room on your wedding night, even if it is for the sake of the relationship between the two countries, why is it so ugly? As the king of a country, you act so freely! ”

Looking at Jiuhuyun's indifferent attitude, the Queen Mother could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, she slammed the teacup on the table, and then said.

"Queen Mother, my southern Xinjiang country is rich and strong, will I really be afraid of a small island country in Dongying? On that day, you asked me to marry the sister of the envoy of Dongying, out of filial piety, I agreed, but this does not mean that I will be afraid of Dongying, and to spoil her, as a son, I am obedient to the opinion of the queen mother, but your hand is inevitably stretched too long, do you even have to take care of this kind of thing? ”

Jiuhu has put up with the Queen Mother for a long time, and today seeing that the Queen Mother even has to take care of where he stayed last night, he really couldn't bear it and opened his mouth.

Jiuhu's words are reasonable, and the queen mother has no way to refute it, only feeling the anger in her heart surging, and in her anger, she threw the tea cup on the table on the ground heavily, and the precious pastel tea cup was suddenly shattered.

"The queen mother is angry, your body is important, why should you be angry about such a trivial matter? In the future, I will sleep wherever you let me sleep, and you must not be angry. Seeing this, Jiuhu continued.

"Get me out!" The Queen Mother roared loudly and drove away the Nine Foxes, and the matter was naturally over.

The canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine that day was huge, although she herself did not appear, but it also aroused the jealousy of the concubines in the harem, and she became the target of the public on the night she entered the palace.

Since the imperial concubine entered the palace, it has attracted the attention of all the concubines, and the emperor's stay in the imperial study last night naturally failed to hide it from the people in the harem, and the news spread quickly.

On this day, the imperial concubine felt bored after breakfast, so she took the maids in the palace to wander in the imperial garden.

The garden landscape of the Southern Xinjiang Imperial Palace is very different from that of Dongying, and the imperial concubine was quickly attracted by the flourishing flowers and plants, but she didn't see a team of fat fans coming towards her.

It turned out that the concubines in the harem paid close attention to the movements of the imperial concubine, and when they learned that she was wandering in the imperial garden, they naturally couldn't help but come to "inquire about the enemy".

"Yo, Sister Wang, who do you see in front of you? It looks strange. A woman dressed in fancy clothes was the first to speak, and her voice was so loud that it reached the ears of the imperial concubine.

"This is the imperial concubine who didn't appear at the concubine ceremony, let's go and say hello to the concubine." The concubine who was called Sister Wang said.

"But she didn't attend the concubine ceremony, and she didn't get the blessing last night, is she still an imperial concubine?" Next to the woman who was called Sister Wang stood another woman dressed in palace clothes, and she interjected.

The imperial concubine has always been scheming, so she naturally heard that everyone was ridiculing her.

"How did you learn the rules? When you see the imperial concubine, don't know how to salute? Although the imperial concubine was angry in her heart, she also knew that she couldn't mess with herself, so she said calmly.

"A woman who didn't get the luck on her wedding night, she can't jump for a few days, Sister Wang, we don't have to talk nonsense with her, there will be hard days waiting for her in the future." The woman who spoke just now said, and then several people passed by the imperial concubine, ignoring her.

In the days that followed, everyone in the harem joined forces to make things difficult for the imperial concubine, because the imperial concubine was not favored, the people in the harem praised the high and the low, and the imperial concubine suffered a lot of losses openly and secretly.
