Chapter 217: The Power of the Associate Six Palaces
At this time, Concubine Liu got up and said: "Your Majesty, since the queen gave birth to the prince, because the concubine Niangniang went out of the palace to pray for the prince and the Ming Dynasty, the concubine helped the queen to assist the harem for the concubine, and now, the concubine has returned to the palace, and the concubine does not dare to cross it again, and asks the emperor to take back the right of the concubine to assist in the six palaces and return it to the concubine Niangniang." ”
Concubine Liu didn't mention this matter to her in advance, she was a little stunned for a while, but soon, the pros and cons of the assistant sixth palace were weighed in her mind, she didn't think that this was a good time to be the assistant sixth palace, because her strength was still too weak, and now that the prince was there, it was even more difficult for the emperor to openly favor her.
was about to say something, but the emperor asked the queen beside him: "The queen is the master of the harem, I don't know what the queen thinks?" ”
The queen already had objections to Concubine Liu's cooperation in the harem, and now she heard that Concubine Liu was going to hand over the power of the assistant harem to the concubine, although the emperor was controlling the dissatisfaction in her heart, her face still changed uncontrollably slightly.
Seeing that the emperor listened to her opinions carefully, she smiled reluctantly: "The concubine thinks that Tian Guifei's ability to govern the six palaces a few months ago is obvious to everyone, and she is at ease, but her sister has been out of the palace to pray for blessings for a few months, and now she has just returned to the palace, and she is not very familiar with the affairs of the harem. A few months ago, the concubine was pregnant, and the emperor took pity, so that Tian Guifei and Concubine Liu shared the worries for the concubine, and now that the child is full moon, the concubine is the mother of a country, and she will naturally do her best to govern the harem for the emperor. ”
When the emperor heard this, he was silent and did not respond immediately, as if he was thinking.
The meaning of the queen's words could not be more obvious, a few months ago, Tian Guifei and Concubine Liu did not govern the harem on their behalf, and now they can return all the power to govern the harem to her.
She is mixed in her heart, happy that the queen will definitely not support the emperor to hand over the power of the assistant harem to her, but the worry is for Liu Concubine, now she is not suitable for the assistant harem, and Liu Concubine is also not suitable, Lu Nuoxin and Concubine Yuan's positions are above her, if you have to find someone to assist in the harem and disperse the queen's power, Liu Concubine is not the most suitable person, but if the queen concentrates all the power, her future road is only more difficult.
The other concubines were also silent and did not speak, secretly waiting for the emperor's will. However, Concubine Yuan had a bit of expectation in her eyes.
After a long time, the emperor seemed to have thought carefully before he spoke: "What the queen said is very true, Tian Guifei has just returned to the palace, and the harem has not been in contact with anything in the past few months, so Tian Guifei will have a good rest first." But although the prince is full moon, but still young, the queen still has to spare more time to accompany the prince, and Liu Concubine has been assisting the sixth palace for more than a few months, and is very familiar with the affairs of the harem, and in the past few months, the affairs of the harem have been handled in an orderly manner, so Liu Concubine still helps the queen to assist in the harem. ”
As if she had let go of some burden, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Concubine Liu thanked him and retreated, and the emperor nodded and said, "There are still some political affairs to be dealt with in the Qianqing Palace, so I will return to the palace first." Disperse y'all, too. ”
Everyone received the order, and after the emperor left, they retreated one by one.
She and Concubine Liu walked out of Kunning Palace together, and the breeze blew the uneven hair on her shoulders, gently flying.
As soon as he walked out of a short distance, he suddenly heard a small voice coming from his side, and when he looked sideways, it turned out to be the king who was waiting here.
Wang Xuanzhi stood behind the stone lion with a big belly, but only the personal palace maid Xiaoguo followed behind her, she and Liu Concubine couldn't help but feel sad when they looked at it, and stopped their steps, Wang Xuanzhi looked around, and saw that the others were still far away before they came out from behind the stone lion, and the cautious look made her and Liu Concubine look at each other.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Xuanzhi walked in, he supported his body and saluted her: "Today, Xie Guifei Niangniang will relieve the siege for the concubines." ”
She was busy with Mama Jinyun to help her up, and remembered what Wang Xuanzhi had not finished speaking, so she asked, "Is Wang Xuanzhi a little difficult in the palace now?" Is it difficult to have six games and one division? Is there less use in the palace? ”
As soon as she mentioned this, Wang Xuanzhi's eyes were red, and she glanced at Liu Concubine, but she didn't dare to say, Liu Concubine sighed and explained: "Niangniang, now many female officials in the palace are higher in rank than Wang Xuanzhi, and the emperor ignores Wang Xuanzhi, and the Sixth Bureau and One Division naturally don't take the affairs of Xianfu Palace in their eyes, and even the Tai Hospital is not very concerned about Wang Xuanzhi's affairs, and everyone in the palace looks at the emperor's and queen's faces. ”
When Wang Xuanzhi heard this, he cried uncontrollably.
The emperor demoted her status because of the fact that Wang Xuanzhi framed her at the beginning, but she also interceded for Wang Xuanzhi, and the emperor still ignored it, which is inevitably chilling, but how can she help her with her current situation, not to mention that on the surface, she and the emperor are still in a state of cold war.
She helped Wang Xuanzhi in distress and asked, "What does the queen say about this matter?" ”
Wang Xuan's servant stopped crying and said aggrievedly: "Now that the concubine has been demoted, it has no use value for the queen, not to mention, she is still pregnant with a child." The queen also turned a blind eye to the behavior of the palace people. The concubine just hoped that the child could be born safely, and had nothing else to ask for. At the beginning, the concubine was dizzy, but she really believed the queen's words and went to frame the mother. The concubine didn't dare to ask the concubine for forgiveness, but begged the concubine to save the concubine because she was just forced to save the concubine for the sake of the child. ”
This is the so-called crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, heh, the queen is really ruthless. But now, how can she help the king's chosen servant.
"Although this matter started because of me, but I have just returned to the palace now, and you also know that such a thing happened in Qingchan Temple, and the emperor treats me as before. I'm afraid I can't help you now. It's just that I have some friendship with Imperial Physician Jiang, and Imperial Physician Jiang has a noble character, I'll entrust you when you go back, if you feel unwell, just send the palace maid to the Imperial Hospital to find Imperial Physician Jiang. ”
Concubine Liu also nodded and said with pity: "As for the use of the palace and the like, what is lacking, you just send someone to Yonghe Palace, and I will try my best to replenish it." Tomorrow I will also intercede with the queen, so that you will not be in the morning and dusk, so that you will not have to run back and forth every day with a big belly. ”
When Wang Xuanzhi heard this, he was grateful with a little guilt, and knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said, "The concubine thanked the two maidens. ”
She and Concubine Liu hurriedly leaned over to help Wang Xuanzhi up, and scolded in distress: "Now that the child is about to be born, don't worry, the child will definitely be born safely." You should also relax and don't think cranky, so that the child can also be healthy, and I believe that the emperor will eventually figure it out. By then, you and your child will be fine. ”
Wang Xuanzhi nodded and said: "If there is really this day, the concubine will not forget the kindness of the two mothers today." ”
