The main hall of Xuantian Pavilion was so silent that a needle could be heard falling to the ground, and thousands of thoughts flashed in Ling Guifei's heart, just this was seized of the right of the assistant sixth palace, she was really unwilling to be weak and bullied by the queen on weekdays, just an honorary queen, in fact, who in the harem did not respect her as the queen? If she wants her to give up the power to come back from her hard work, she really can't do it, as far as she knows, this Mrs. Feng has not raised the emperor, and the emperor should have no feelings for her, but since this woman has listened to the government in the court, she has her strength, and she can't figure out her bottom, and she rushes rashly, and it is easy to be pinched by her

Just as he was hesitating, he heard the eunuch's shrill voice sound again: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

The concubines hurriedly got up and stood with their heads bowed

The emperor walked in wearing a black mud and gold embroidered flying dragon robe brocade, he walked easily, with a smile on his face, and walked straight to Long Chuxia to salute: "Erchen to meet his mother!" ”

"See the emperor!" A group of palace concubines saluted

Long Chuxia looked at the emperor with a smile, the young man in the past, who had grown into a great man today, she said softly: "Emperor, come here!" ”

The emperor walked in a proper manner, walked to Long Chuxia and sat down, and said to the concubine: "Everyone sit, don't be too formal"

The concubines thanked them, and then sat down one after another, looking at the emperor with their own hearts, waiting for the development of things

"It's not early today, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Long Chuxia asked, ordering Xiao Xun to go to see the tea, but Xiao Xun had already prepared it, and brought it out with a smile: "The emperor invites tea!" ”

The emperor took it and said with a smile: "There is Aunt Lao Xiaoxun"

Xiao Kaoru smiled slightly, "The emperor is polite"

The emperor took a sip of tea, looked up at Ling Guifei, who was still standing, frowned and asked, "Guifei, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Concubine Ling Guifei was slightly blessed and said: "Back to the emperor, the Empress Dowager said that she would take back the power of the concubine and Concubine Li to assist in the six palaces!" She just said things lightly, and didn't add personal emotions, she hadn't seen the emperor's attitude towards Long Chuxia, so she didn't dare to make a rash statement

The emperor glanced at her and Concubine Li, put down the teacup, and said, "Since it is the queen mother, then you just listen, what's the problem?" ”

Concubine Ling and Concubine Li were slightly surprised, but they didn't expect the emperor to directly answer without even asking a word, and Ling Guifei suddenly felt anger and fear in her heart, but she still had to maintain a peaceful smile on her face, and said: "Yes, since the emperor ordered it so, the concubines and others should do it themselves, but in the future, they will work hard for the queen mother, and the concubines and others can't share the worries for the queen mother, and the concubines are useless."

The queen smiled slightly: "Although the concubine seems to blame herself for saying this, but in fact she blames the palace, if it weren't for the poor health of the palace, it would not have been for the concubine and Concubine Li to work so hard, and now the queen mother and the old man are in charge of the harem affairs herself, and the palace is really guilty!" ”

Ling Guifei said with a cold face: "The queen's words are serious, the concubines don't dare!" ”

The emperor raised his voice lightly and said: "Since everyone is here, then I have some words in front of me, I am the queen mother's kindness to me, in my heart, she is my mother, I hope that everyone can honor the queen mother, just like the old filial piety to the queen mother, if I find that someone is disrespectful to the queen mother, I will definitely not spare it"

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly got up and said respectfully: "The concubines will obey the emperor's words, and they will definitely serve the queen mother and respect the queen mother."

The emperor said: "Well, it's okay, the Queen Mother is also tired, you go back, I still have to talk about the relationship between mother and son with the Queen Mother."

Ling Guifei led people to get up: "The concubine retires!" ”

Seeing the concubines rushing out, the queen also got up and saluted, "Then, the concubines also retired first."

Long Chuxia smiled and said: "Okay, the queen is not in good health, go back and recuperate!" ”

Xiaozhi stepped forward to help the queen and saluted and retired

Out of the gate of Xuantian Pavilion, all the concubines did not dare to speak, and their hearts were still very shocked, especially Concubine An Gui, who was presumptuous in the early summer of Long, she thought that this so-called queen mother was just an ornament, but she didn't expect the emperor to attach so much importance to it, she really regretted Fang Cai's rude gaffe, and she didn't know if the queen mother would take it to heart and wait for the opportunity to retaliate in the future

Ling Guifei's expression was gloomy, and the people in the palace who were sitting on her shoulders were about to start, and Concubine Li took a step forward: "Concubine Niangniang, it's better to go to the palace of the concubine to drink tea!" ”

Concubine Ling's eyes were sharp, and she sneered: "Concubine Li's kindness, this palace has understood it, this palace is flawless, there are still many important things to do today, I will go another day!" ”

Concubine Li smiled slightly: "Really?" Is the concubine really busy with so many important things? I'm afraid that I won't be able to get busy if I want to be busy after a while."

Ling Guifei was furious: "What did you say?" Hmph, this palace is not the only one who has been seized of power, you are also Concubine Li, now that you have this spare time to quarrel with this palace here, it is better to think about what to do in the future to keep your position as Concubine Li"

Concubine Li said lightly, "The Queen Mother is new to the palace, and she doesn't understand everything, so she naturally has to rely on us, and the concubine also invited her sister to my palace to discuss how to help the Queen Mother manage the harem and share the emperor's worries."

Ling Guifei glanced at the queen who was following her lightly, and said with a slight disappointment: "Okay, go!" She gritted her teeth and added angrily: "Although the power of the assistant of the six palaces was taken away, it is always better than some people, it is really annoying to look at it."

Concubine Li smiled faintly, "Since you are upset to look at it, then you can leave if you don't look at it!" ”

The queen only stood faintly, did not speak, and did not argue that Xiaozhi picked up the grievances for her, and when the two walked away, Xiaozhi said: "Niangniang, you are too good to be bullied"

The queen walked slowly, and asked indifferently, "What do you say?" ”

Xiaozhi said indignantly: "They clearly don't let you go, you are a dignified queen, no matter how favored they are, can they still pass you?" ”

The corners of the queen's mouth opened with a touch of sadness, and she said slowly: "Xiaozhi, the most difficult word in the world is to endure that the mother's family in this palace is no longer prominent, the father is old, and he has resigned to retire, and there is no son and nephew in the family to support the family, although the emperor has a husband and wife love for the palace, but in the end, there is no love or favor for the harem to make everyone in the harem despise the palace except forbearance, there is no other way, if you can't bear it, you are afraid that it is not only the children in the womb of those concubines who will die, but even the life of the palace is not guaranteed."

The queen's words are very desolate, and it is true, now the queen's mother's family has become increasingly declining, and there is no longer the former prestige, no support from her mother's family, no emperor's favor, no prince's dependence, her queen is nothing If she is not weaker, let those people feel that it doesn't matter if she has her or not, and she is too lazy to spend energy to deal with her, her life will be lost a long time ago

Xiaozhi has been by her side for all these years, but she also understands, but she can't help but cry out for the queen
