Chapter 203: Confusion
This day is the day when the harem concubines want to ask the queen for peace. After everyone sat down, the queen said happily: "Presumably all the sisters know, the palace is happy to have a son, the emperor's love, has been included in the Zongdie, recorded as a son-in-law, that is, a son-in-law, it is necessary to have the style of a son-in-law, the palace and the emperor discussed, on the eighth day of the next month, a 100-day banquet will be held for the eleventh elder brother, the banquet will be held for three days, and the whole world will celebrate." "Congratulations to the Queen, congratulations to the Queen." The concubines stood up and thanked them. The queen smiled happily, and this smile deeply pierced the heart of the virtuous concubine. Back then, when the virtuous concubine gave birth to the eldest prince, the emperor was very happy and wanted to hold a banquet and celebrate with the whole world, but the queen mother was still there, but the queen mother refused. The Queen Mother's sentence: "Such an honor can only be enjoyed by the son-in-law." "For so many years, it has been haunting the ears of the virtuous concubine.
"Queen Mother, I don't know the concubines, etc., but I have the honor to meet the eleventh elder brother." Concubine Qi saw that Concubine Xian's expression was ugly, and she was happy, and jumped out to make Concubine Xian even more uncomfortable. The queen smiled and said, "Of course, nurse, bring the eleventh elder brother." "After a while, the nurse came with the eleventh elder brother." On behalf of the eleventh elder brother, Mama greets all the mothers. Mama said happily. Everyone was very happy when they saw the eleventh elder brother, and they also felt novel, and they all surrounded the eleventh elder brother to make him happy. Ouyang Tong and Concubine De also surrounded the eleventh elder brother, teasing happily. Concubine Xian Guigui saw Ouyang Tong, looked at the queen again, and had a plan in her heart. Concubine Xian also got up, walked to the eleventh elder brother, and said with a smile: "Well, this kid is really good-looking." ”
"Yes, yes, a few days ago, the concubine saw the emperor personally holding the eleventh elder brother playing in the imperial garden." Qi Concubine deliberately said loudly. Concubine Xian reached out and touched the delicate face of the eleventh elder brother: "This little face, white and tender, looks like Sister Ouyang." Concubine Xian's words silenced the people around her. Ouyang Tong replied with a smile: "Yes, the child born by a concubine is naturally like a concubine." It's just that this child, after all, is more blessed than the concubine, and he was loved by the emperor and the queen as soon as he was born. After speaking, Ouyang Tong walked up to the queen and kowtowed seriously: "The concubine has not thanked the queen for taking care of the concubine and this child. The queen smiled and said, "Hurry up, this is what this palace should do." Ouyang Tong got up: "Thank you, Queen Mother." The queen said seriously: "Concubine Jing, you are the biological mother of this child, and in the future, you will help the palace take care of this child more." Ouyang Tong bowed down: "Yes, Niangniang." ”
Seeing that the provocation could not be made, the virtuous concubine stopped talking. Could the previous rumors be false? Didn't you say that the queen and Concubine Jing were incompatible? Today, they seem to have a very good relationship. "Wow~Wow~" The eleventh prince cried. Mama saluted: "Brother Xu is hungry, and the slave maid takes Brother down to feed." The queen nodded: "Go ahead." The concubines chatted for a while and then dispersed. Concubine Jing and Concubine De walked side by side on the road, looking at the virtuous concubine who was far away, and smiled at each other. "That virtuous concubine, I don't know what is happening now." Concubine De said with a smile. Ouyang Tong said with a smile: "It should be the ants on the hot pot, it's going to be around." Concubine De shook her head: "She still has a glimmer of hope." Ouyang Tong thought for a while: "You mean the eldest prince?" Concubine De nodded: "Exactly." The voice of the great prince of the previous dynasty was very high, and the emperor also had the idea of appointing the eldest prince as the crown prince before. Ouyang Tong thought for a while: "Now that the queen has a concubine, I am afraid that the rumors of the previous dynasty are about to change." ”
Concubine De smiled: "No, now the emperor wants to deal with Concubine Xian, who of us will be the emperor's opponent." Ouyang Tong nodded: "Yes, in order to make the emperor make up her mind, the queen even took out her sore spots." Concubine De sighed: "It's a pity that the queen is dead to the emperor, otherwise, how can that virtuous concubine be the queen's opponent, where can she do evil in the harem for so many years." "Does the virtuous concubine do a lot of evil?" Ouyang Tong was a little puzzled. "I look at everyone in the harem, and they all praise the virtuous concubine." Concubine De shook her head: "This is where Concubine Xian's methods are clever, she is known for her gentleness and virtue in the harem, and the emperor gave her the title of Xian, which helped her win the hearts of many people." "Also, the swing matter was involved in the entire harem, and it was not found out that it was her." Ouyang Tong thought of the previous swing and sighed.
Concubine De said in a low voice: "Concubine Xian has a Liuhe by her side, she is very capable, and everything in the harem is arranged by her." Ouyang Tong couldn't believe it: "There is such a capable person around Concubine Xian?" Concubine De looked around, pulled Ouyang Tong aside, and whispered: "This time, the emperor set a trap to lure Liuhe into the game, and now, Liuhe is already the emperor's person." Ouyang Tong was a little curious: "What trap?" Concubine De attached to Ouyang Tong's ear and said: "The emperor sent someone to lead the housekeeper of the Zhu Mansion to gamble, and the housekeeper lost a lot, and lived by deducting the silver money that Liuhe gave to his parents to pay off his debts, and he also found someone to forge letters, sent letters to Liuhe in the palace, and deceived Liuhe that everything was fine." Ouyang Tong was a little surprised after hearing this: "With such a subtle method, the emperor is really powerful." Concubine De nodded: "No, that Liuhe, now it should be the person who hates the virtuous concubine the most in this palace." ”
Ouyang Tong shook his head helplessly: "Maybe that virtuous concubine doesn't know." Concubine De shook her head: "She doesn't know and doesn't say it, just this matter can make Liuhe hate." Ouyang Tong thought for a while: "Also, I am a cow and a horse, but my family is living hard." "The emperor promised Liuhe a rich dowry, and after the matter is completed, he will let Liuhe marry a good family." Concubine De said in a low voice. Ouyang Tong helped Concubine De into Jingren Palace. "Now, we just have to cooperate with the emperor to act." Ouyang Tong said with a smile. Concubine De sighed: "It's not, now the harem is rumored, and the virtuous concubine is about to fall out of favor." Ouyang Tong covered his mouth and smiled: "That's not it, there are two concubines in the harem now." "By the way, do you know that our academy has now become a sweet and sweet spot." Concubine De said suddenly. Ouyang Tong was puzzled: "Why?" ”
"The people who wanted to rely on the virtuous concubine before, but now that the virtuous concubine is falling out of favor more and more, they still want to find a way out by themselves. Now, on the day of the academy exam, there are a lot of people. Concubine De described. Ouyang Tong nodded: "Then wait until the next exam, and I'll see it with my own eyes." Concubine De patted Ouyang Tong's hand: "Speaking of which, you haven't been to see the academy yet." "The academy is taken care of by you, and I will steal a leisure." Ouyang Tong helped Concubine De to sit on the stone bench and said with a smile. Ouyang Tong and Concubine De were talking and laughing, and they looked very harmonious and warm.
In Yonghe Palace, the atmosphere is not so good. "When did Concubine Jing get so good with the queen. Shengsheng took the child and didn't get angry? Concubine Xian said through gritted teeth. Liuhe frowned: "The slave maid didn't find out, isn't it that Jing Concubine took the initiative to sacrifice her child in order to protect herself, seek the protection of the queen?" Concubine Xian nodded: "In this way, this concubine Jing is really not to be underestimated." even his own son was willing to give up. Liuhe nodded: "She has only been in the palace for a long time, and she is already a concubine, and I don't know how many concubines in the harem are jealous." Concubine Xian sat at the table, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip: "Concubine Qi is only a concubine now, it is better to persuade her." ”
Liuhe saluted: "Yes." And he departed. After a while, Liuhe hurried back. "Mother." Liuhe frowned, and stopped talking. "What's the matter?" Seeing that Liuhe's expression was wrong, Concubine Xian was a little curious. "Niangniang, just now, the emperor promoted Concubine Qi to Concubine Qi." Liuhe frowned and whispered. "What?" Concubine Xian slammed the teacup on the table. "How could it be so sudden?" Concubine Xian was a little puzzled. "It is said that Concubine Qi was pregnant, and the emperor was happy, so he was directly promoted to the position." Liuhe said truthfully. Concubine Xian's fists tightened: "This child of hers is really timely." Liuhe was a little helpless: "No, now that Qi Concubine is very proud." The good things in the harem, she has to loot. ”
