Qi Wangshu has been idle in the palace for so long, and he always feels that the palace has been too calm recently, and the calm is terrible.

"Princess, this can't be true, can it?" When Qingyin, the grand palace maid of Fengyang Pavilion, repeatedly confirmed the news and told Princess Wangshu, she was also stunned.

"Huh?" Qi Wangshu couldn't help but get distracted, she couldn't figure it out, she thought that Lu Huiling was the niece of Empress Mingxian, and although it was unreasonable to wait in the Qinzheng Palace, it was not considered a disorderly rule, but who would have thought that the two people who were not much different in age would now have earth-shaking changes.

"Is this true?" Qi Wangshu looked at Qing Yin and confirmed repeatedly.

"The slave and maid don't know, it was the news from the eunuch under Chief Manager He, and the slave and maid asked many times." Qingyin grew up with Qi Wangshu, and she is naturally familiar with the official lady Lu Huiling.

In previous years, there will be many palace banquets in the palace, which are held by the lady in the palace, and the ladies and ladies of the minister's family will be invited to participate in the banquet, such as worshipping the god of flowers in the Qishan Palace is also an activity between the ladies of the official family.

Qi Wangshu, as the only princess of the Celestial Empire, will naturally participate with her, and Lu Huiling, as the daughter of a minister, will of course also participate.

The princess is a model of a woman who has not been out of the cabinet in the world, but Lu Huiling is arrogant and domineering, relying on the fact that her aunt is the queen's mother, so she naturally does not deal with Qi Wangshu, and the two have had many suspicions about this, but it is normal for girls to quarrel with each other, and neither of them has taken it to heart.

"Isn't she the royal brother of Xinyue?" Qi Wangshu sat in his position and looked up at Qing Yin, who was also puzzled standing beside him, "Now... Why did you enter the palace and become your father's concubine? ”

Qi Wangshu is really strange, she and Lu Huiling quarreled at the beginning, and it was because Lu Huiling harassed Qi Jingqin three times and twice, Qi Wangshu couldn't stand her disgusting appearance of flattering and flattering the imperial brother on the side, and deliberately scolded her with a bad taste, and the two quarreled many times because of this matter.

And even if Qi Jingqin was given marriage and engaged to Liang Huanqing, Lu Huiling has publicly expressed his love for Qi Jingqin more than once. For example, the last time she was in Qishan Palace, because Liang Huanqing was Qi Jingqin's fiancée, she deliberately targeted Liang Huanqing and made Liang Huanqing ugly in public.

When Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing got married, Qi Wangshu went to the palace with his mother and concubine to watch the ceremony.

But now, how...

Ever since Lu Huiling climbed on the war drum and danced for the emperor's brother, it has become extremely strange, I heard that Lu Huiling asked to stay in the Qinzheng Palace to serve his father, Qi Wangshu didn't think much about it at that time, but his father thought of the first queen when he looked at her, so he wanted to keep her by his side, which was just another way to say it to the outside world.

But today it seems that things are not so simple.

Qi Wangshu knew that although his father missed Empress Mingxian very much, he must have a scale in his heart for Lu Huiling, and his father would not deliberately let Lu Huiling be his concubine, how could he be such a rational person to indulge himself in making such a big mistake.

The father did not consider the infamy of the people of the world for him, and according to the longing for Empress Mingxian and the loyalty to the prime minister's family to protect the country, he should also consider the views of the people of the world on Lu Huiling's reputation.

"It's weird." Qi Wangshu frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"Ah, by the way, princess, there's good news." Qing Yin said suddenly.

Qi Wangshu looked up at her and asked, "What good news?" ”

"Concubine Mei has been promoted to Concubine Mei." Qing Yin smiled simply, and said in a low voice, "There is no master in the middle palace, and the concubine is the deputy queen." ”

Qi Wangshu rolled his eyes and said, "What's the difference." ”

Qingyin pursed his lips and stood aside not daring to speak.

Qi Wangshu, like Xia Rongxin, knew that this was the emperor's appeasement strategy.

After the death of Empress Mingxian, Xia Rongxin, as the head of the four concubines, was the highest-ranking concubine in the palace, and gave birth to a prince and princess, so she was granted the right to take charge of the harem.

But before the emperor officially granted Xia Rongxin this right, the queen was seriously ill, and she also helped manage the harem, which has been ten years before and after.

In addition to Xia Rongxin's position not being the queen, the rights in her hands are no different from the queen, and the emperor also gave her power as much as possible, but despite this, the queen's position is still empty.

Xia Rongxin has been an unworthy queen for ten years, as long as she is still a concubine, then the two are no different.

"Mother concubine went to see her father?" Qi Wangshu frowned lightly and asked seriously.

Qingyin nodded: "Yes, when I listened to the decree of the little eunuch just now, the slave maid also deliberately asked, and he said that Mei Guifei Niangniang had gone to the Qinzheng Palace, and she was promoted later." When Niangniang came out of the Qinzheng Palace, there were no other emotional fluctuations, so she thought she accepted the matter. ”

Qi Wangshu shook his head: "The mother concubine is not so easy to accept this matter. It's ridiculous. ”

After saying this, Qi Wangshu seemed to think of something, Teng stood up and was about to go out, Qingyin hurriedly followed: "Princess, where are you going?" It's going to be dark soon, and it's windy at night, so be careful of catching a cold! ”

Qing Yin was too worried that Qi Wangshu would run out of the palace, whenever she suddenly got up and walked out like this, she had to run out before the palace gate was keyed, if the emperor and Concubine Mei didn't come to Fengyang Pavilion to see her on weekdays, she would be able to stay outside the palace for several days, and recently because General Liang Lin had gone out many times, Qing Yin was really afraid.

"Out of the palace!" Qi Wangshu hurriedly dropped this sentence and hurriedly ran to the palace gate.

She didn't want to go to Yichun Hall to see her mother, and her mother was definitely in a bad mood at this time, but Qi Wangshu could think that Lu Huiling had deliberately wanted to stay with her father when she entered the palace this time, and it was definitely not to compete with her mother for favor, and Lu Huiling didn't need to sacrifice her life even if she was for the first queen.

You must know that Qi Wangshu and Lu Huiling are both old, and the emperor can be said to be like her father's age to her.

Lu Huiling used to like Qi Jingqin so much, after Qi Jingqin and Liang Huanqing got married, she entered the palace as a concubine, but she was afraid that she wanted to use the emperor's thoughts about the former queen to obtain supreme honor, and she must have hated Liang Huanqing who was loved by her very much.

Now that Qi Jingqin is on the expedition and Liang Huanqing is alone in the palace, Lu Huiling is afraid that he will use his identity to make things difficult for her.

Qi Wangshu thought of this, so he couldn't sit still, Liang Huanqing was not only her sister-in-law, but also Liang Lian's only sister, she had to keep Liang Huanqing no matter what, so she had to go to the palace to report to Liang Huanqing in advance.

Qing Yin saw that the princess was about to run out of the palace again, and she was in a hurry, but she was very powerless, so she could only pray that no one in Fengyang Pavilion would come tonight.

After dinner, the news of Concubine Mei's promotion to Concubine Mei spread throughout the harem, she has now become the highest-status woman in the imperial city, and she is also given the right to take charge of the harem.

Today's newly canonized Concubine Ming is no exception.

After dinner, Qinzheng Hall sent a message to Minghuatang, saying that the emperor would go to Yichun Hall to stay overnight and come to see her tomorrow, so he sent her to talk to her in advance.

Lu Huiling doesn't care, and the emperor is not in front of her, so she doesn't need to pretend.

After hearing this, she only thanked the eunuch and did not have any expression, and Aunt Xu Lan hurriedly played a round for her and rewarded the eunuch with a few golden melon seeds.
