When she arrived at the Queen Mother, the queen did not directly say how Concubine Zeng Li charmed the monarch, disturbed the harem, and even threatened the crown prince.

just vaguely said his worries, and briefly talked about what happened in the palace recently, especially the things that he was almost wronged several times.

"Originally, these things were hidden from you, for fear that you would know about it. It's only because I'm blessed, and I can't convince the public, which will make this harem more and more unpeaceful. I am deeply ashamed that I have failed your support, and I am afraid that I will be overturned in the future. If the sin is only for me, I will never dare to disturb the Queen Mother because of this. But when I think that this is related to the foundation of the royal family and the safety of the society, I can't afford to do it anyway. For the sake of safety, I had to trouble the Queen Mother. If giving up this position can make the harem calm, I have nothing to be reluctant to. ”

"It's hard for you these days," the Queen Mother sighed and said, "Over the years, because of my frailty and illness, I have long since stopped asking about the affairs in the harem, and I will leave everything to you to take care of." I was glad before, but fortunately, you and the emperor got along very well, and although those concubines had different temperaments, they were not particularly restless. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen later. Because Concubine Zeng Li was recommended by the prince, I also left her a little thin noodles. Thinking that the emperor is over half a hundred years old, he must have faded in the affairs of men and women. Keeping her by her side, as long as she serves the emperor wholeheartedly, it is okay. ”

"Who said it wasn't, I also thought she was cautious and would massage herself, the emperor worked day and night, and there was nothing wrong with having such a person around to serve." The queen also hurriedly said: "I don't dare to say this to others, but I dare to say a word in front of your old man, I am not a person who has no heart and cannot tolerate others." ”

"Of course I know what kind of person you are," the Queen Mother nodded and said, "At the beginning, you gave birth to two princes one after another, which stabilized people's hearts. No one can replace this achievement. What's more, you are kind-hearted, and it is only natural for you to be the queen. ”

Although the queen came from a humble background, the queen mother still fulfilled her original promise and helped her to the queen's position.

Of course, the Queen Mother also knows in her heart that the queen's knowledge and talent are not very high, but she is not bad in her heart.

Of course, after the establishment, it is necessary to establish a virtuous person, not to mention that there is a prince.

The affairs of the harem also reached the ears of the Queen Mother more or less, but she was not in a hurry to intervene. Now that the queen is begging her, she can't say anything if she doesn't care about it anymore.

"Come on, go and invite Concubine Zeng Li here." The Queen Mother spoke: "I just said that I haven't seen her for a few days and I want to talk to her." ”

The queen asked the queen mother: "Queen Mother, do I need to avoid suspicion?" ”

"You go back," the Queen Mother said, "If the emperor asks about you in the future, you just come and ask three questions, and you will push anything on me." ”

"This ......," the queen was a little embarrassed to hear.

"You don't have to feel embarrassed, although you are husband and wife, he can turn his face and deny you." The Queen Mother said: "I am his mother, and he is unwilling and will not do anything to me in his heart." ”

The queen then retired.

"Niangniang, let's make the right move, move the Queen Mother's Buddha out, Concubine Zeng Li's fox spirit will not immediately appear in its original form." The palace maid beside the queen whispered: "If you have saved so much trouble!" ”

"Hopefully there won't be any more complications this time." The queen felt tired: "Since ancient times, there have been thieves for thousands of years, but there are no thieves for thousands of years." I've been scared every day, but that's enough. ”

"Niangniang is sure to be able to sleep peacefully today, if there are still people who are restless, this time it can be regarded as an example of killing chickens and monkeys." Bai Lu also said.

"I'm afraid I can't," the queen said with a wry smile: "Although the queen mother has taken care of everything, it is difficult to make the emperor not blame me." ”

"That's just temporary, and when Your Majesty is angry, you'll naturally figure it out." The palace maid comforted the queen.

"Master, the people from the Queen Mother's side came to invite you." A little palace maid came in to report.

Concubine Zeng Li nodded to indicate that she understood, and asked the little palace maid to go out and reply, she changed her clothes and went.

Baishun brought over a bowl of medicine and put it on the table, looked at Concubine Zeng Li and asked, "Niangniang, do you really want to drink this?" What if the Queen Mother didn't reprimand you when she called you? ”

"The Queen Mother has never asked me to go alone," Concubine Zeng Li picked up the medicine bowl and smelled it, the smell was very pungent, so she couldn't help frowning: "And the queen has just been there, obviously she went to sue." ”

After speaking, he drank a bowl of medicine without hesitation, and rinsed his mouth with water, so as not to be smelled that he had taken the medicine.

"Mother, the slave helped you over." Bai Shun hurriedly grabbed Concubine Zeng Li's hand.

"You don't have to follow me." Concubine Zeng Li shook off his hand and said, "You are listening outside, so that you can report to the emperor." ”

When Bai Shun heard this, he didn't go out, but called two other palace maids.

Concubine Zeng Li took a chariot to the queen mother's bedroom, and when she went in, she found that the queen was not there, so she knew that she had left to avoid suspicion.

Concubine Zeng Li pretended not to know, and asked the Queen Mother for peace as usual.

Who wanted her to kneel down, but the Queen Mother didn't let her get up.

"You're from King Jing's Mansion, right?" The Queen Mother asked her.

"The concubine is recommended by the prince." Concubine Zeng Li replied in a proper manner.

"Then now I'll let you go back to the palace, are you willing?" The Queen Mother asked again.

"This ......" Concubine Zeng asked in surprise, "Why is this?" ”

"Since you entered the palace, the emperor's temperament has changed greatly, and he has become increasingly estranged from the queen," the queen mother said without hesitation: "As the queen mother, can I still tolerate you in this palace?" It is an ordinary family, and if the concubine makes the master and the master and mother discord, they should also be expelled from the house. What's more, the emperor and queen? ”

"Queen Mother, the concubines don't ......" Concubine Zeng Li argued anxiously: "I don't dare to provoke the relationship between the emperor and the queen." ”

"You don't have to explain to me, it's useless for you to talk about smallpox today." The queen mother said like water: "Your concubine is not right, I don't know how to charm the emperor in private, so I will give you the title of concubine." I turned a blind eye to you, but I just treated you like a cat or a dog. Who would have thought that you would be uneasy about your duties and start working in this palace! How can I tolerate you?! ”

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother! The concubine did not do anything that did not abide by her duty. Concubine Zeng Li cried: "I know that I am wrong, it is okay for you to beat me and scold me, just ask me to stay in the palace and serve the emperor." ”

"Don't pretend to be a fox in front of me." The Queen Mother sneered: "I knew that you would not be obedient. I went to the title of your concubine first, you have no merit and no child, why did you get the title of concubine?! ”
