Chapter 215: The Empress's Triumph
The queen's cold gaze swept over the people kneeling in front of her one by one, and finally fell on her, a hint of a victor's smile floated on her disdainful face, and now she is naturally victorious, the queen of the world, the phoenix seal in her hand, and the biological mother of the only prince in the emperor, the mother is expensive by her son, and she boasts that no one in the palace can cross her since then!
took the tea handed by the palace maid, took a sip and said, "Sisters, let's get even." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Before he could sit back on the throne, the queen's voice came: "Concubine Liu, how is the renaming of Yongning Palace to Chengqian Palace?" ”
Before Concubine Liu could sit down, she got up again and stepped forward with a slight blessing and said, "Back to the queen's mother, the concubine has already ordered the Shanggong Bureau to do it." ”
"Then why hasn't there been any movement in Shanggong now? When Tian Guifei first returned to the palace, the emperor's will had been made, but she couldn't be lazy. ”
The queen's cold voice came, and Concubine Liu knelt on the ground: "The concubine is derelict in her duties, and she also asks the queen to punish her." ”
She was drinking tea in her seat, she never cared about these harem trivial matters, but now she listened carefully, the emperor's will to change the name of Yongning Palace to Chengqian Palace was before she left Yongning Palace, and it was not half an hour now, Liu Concubine had already instructed Shanggong Bureau to do her best, how could she be lazy?
Although she had already thought that Concubine Liu's assistant sixth palace would naturally be squeezed by the queen, she never thought that the queen would be so harsh, she drank tea quietly and watched all this secretly.
Concubine Yuan, who had been silent on the side, finally couldn't hold her breath, her eyes swept over her and said: "Queen Mother, Tian Guifei has been back in the palace for half a month, and the emperor's will has just come down, concubines look, the emperor's mind is now all on the queen and the prince, as for whether the palace of the concubine is Yongning Palace or Chengqian Palace, and she is not in a hurry for this moment, this name change is just an idea, so as to remove the bad luck brought into the palace from outside the palace." ”
She already has anger hidden in her heart, Concubine Yuan is now alluding to the matter of Qingchan Temple, which makes her anger rise a little, and she almost can't control it, but now the emperor's heart doesn't know the depth, and her own strength is too thin, now is not the time to become a quick word, she must be patient, endure for a while.
Swallowing her anger along with the mellow tea in her mouth, she put down the tea bowl in her hand and stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, Sister Yuan is right, it is a great luck that the concubine can return to the palace, as for the name of the palace, it is not in the way, the queen mother is now working hard for the prince, and there is no need to worry about the concubine." ”
Seeing her deferential posture, the queen mother's face was a little more proud, but she was a little more happy when she spoke: "Sister Guifei knows the courtesy, but the holy decree of this matter has been issued, which you and I can criticize, Concubine Liu should go down as soon as possible." ”
Concubine Liu took the order, looked at her deeply, and then retreated. She smiled slightly, Concubine Liu was worried about her, but what else was she afraid of now? When she returned to the palace, there was the emperor here, as long as she was cautious in her words and deeds, the queen couldn't do anything to her, not to mention, there were few people left around her, what else did she have to be afraid of!
As soon as Concubine Liu left, the queen naturally wanted to focus on her: "Tian Guifei prayed for the blessing of the Qing Dynasty and the prince, the hard work was high, the Qingchan Temple was bitter, and that kind of thing happened, the emperor now has a prince again, and the previous dynasty was busy, and he couldn't take care of his sister, so his sister suffered." ”
Yesterday she went to the Qianqing Palace to find the emperor secretly, and the emperor went to Yongning Palace last night, it seems that the people in the palace still don't know that she and the emperor have reconciled, since this is the case, she has to continue acting.
She smiled a little, the expression on her face was a little aggrieved, and it seemed to be a little reluctant smile, and said: "The concubine prays for the prince's blessing, and only asks the prince to live a long and safe life, and the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, and she doesn't dare to say bitterness." ”
The aggrieved but unspeakable tone, the reluctant smile on her face, made the queen more satisfied with her deference, it seems that this Qingchan Temple is not a failure, although she can't be ...... But at least the emperor's thoughts about her are not as deep as before, and he has smoothed out her edges and corners!
After a long time, the emperor's thoughts about her will fade, and it will be easy to get rid of her!
The queen's proud appearance was reflected in her eyes, which was exactly what she wanted, and she just wanted to make the queen get carried away with such a gesture, so that she could take advantage of it.
Seeing her so obedient, Concubine Yuan shut her mouth stupidly, and the queen was no longer embarrassed by her, her eyes went over to Fang Cairen, who had been sitting silently, and turned to Wang Xuan, who was sitting in the corner.
Her eyes were fixed on Fang Cairen, she had already heard that the emperor had always been unkind to Fang Cairen, and Fang Cairen had no hope now, and he was too lazy to dress up, he wore a gauze skirt at will, and the makeup on his face was not exquisite, looking like a flower that had lost its color, wilting and bearing the wind and rain, and his emotions did not fluctuate in the slightest.
Seeing her scrutinizing gaze, Fang Cairen turned his face away, as if he didn't want her to see his appearance.
"I just saw that Concubine Tian and Wang Xuanzhi were chatting happily, I don't know what to talk about?" The queen's voice shifted her attention to Wang Meiren.
When Wang Xuanzhi heard this, he immediately got up again to answer to the queen, and her stomach was already a little heavy for seven or eight months, and she stood up with both hands on the edge of the table, which was extremely difficult, but there was not even a palace maid around to support her.
Concubine Yuan snorted coldly and said, "But pregnant with a child, how can it be so hard, what to pretend." ”
Concubine Yuan's disdainful face looked particularly dazzling to her, but now she couldn't pay attention to it, looking at Wang Xuanzhi's hard work, she couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to answer for her: "The concubine heard that Wang Xuanzhi's child was about to be born, so she chatted with Wang Xuanzhi casually. ”
During the answer, she saw the queen staring at Wang Xuanzhi's stomach, her eyes were like torches, and the scorching light seemed to reveal a ruthless meaning, she was shocked, she couldn't understand the queen's ruthlessness, not to mention that now she is the only one who gave birth to a prince, how can she steal the limelight.
She thought for a moment, walked to Wang Xuanshi's side, stroked her bulging lower abdomen and said, "Sister Wang just told her concubine that she hopes to give birth to a daughter to be the prince's companion." The concubine also wants to have a little daughter, but it's a pity that the concubine is not as blessed as the queen's mother. ”
Concubine Yuan cast a disdainful gaze and said to the queen a little flatteringly: "The eldest son of the emperor is noble, how can I need your daughter as a companion!" ”
She was worried about Wang Xuanzhi's embarrassment, but Wang Xuanzhi ignored Concubine Yuan's cynicism, and seemed to be used to Concubine Yuan's posture, but smiled at her and thanked her for relieving her.
Although Concubine Yuan said so, the queen was extremely useful by Lu Nuoxin's words, the smile in the corner of her eyes was deeper, but she did not forget to say in a high-sounding manner: "The emperor now only has one heir to the eldest son of the emperor, and all the younger sisters must also work hard to spread the branches and leaves for the emperor, and extend the descendants of the Ming Dynasty for me." ”
She ignored the false smile on the queen's face, and said with everyone's blessing: "Yes, the concubine obeys the queen's teachings." ”
