Chapter 184: Sowing Discord
Before dawn, Mu Bang rose up and waited for Xuanyuan to take a bath and change his clothes, lie back on the couch and fall asleep.
Suddenly woke up, this was the first time she presided over the palace concubine's meeting, and she was afraid that after sleeping for an hour, the scarlet clothes did not light the soothing incense.
"Scarlet, what time is it?"
"Three quarters in the hour." Concubine Xiao De will bring the concubines to Fengyi Palace to discuss matters when she is in the middle of the morning.
"Scarlet, you're ready for what you've prepared."
"Don't worry, it's ready." Mu Wanshang, who was in scarlet clothes, was very relieved and began to get up to look through the records.
Chen had just arrived, and there were already concubines coming, Concubine Hui Zhong Yu and Concubine Fang Minjun came together, and Yuxiu let the two go to the main hall.
They had been to Fengyi Palace before, and they were not too surprised by the luxury of Fengyi Palace, they just sat quietly.
Later, Concubine Xiao De came with other concubines, and there was still some time before the palace concubines were discussing, so many concubines were chatting, and the most talked about was the luxury of Fengyi Palace and the grievances between the virtuous concubine and the queen.
The harem is very open in private, and most of the remarks are biased towards the virtuous concubine, after all, this is Fengyi Palace, and Yuxiu didn't care about it.
"Concubine Shu has arrived!" Outside, Ren Daiying walked in from the outside.
Along the way, Ren Daiying looked at the layout and furnishings in the palace, but she was just a small concubine, who had already exceeded the specifications of the virtuous concubine, and was more luxurious than the queen's bedroom, no wonder the queen wanted to harm the virtuous concubine, if she was the queen, I was afraid that it would be more despicable.
With such a woman here, the women in the emperor's harem are just an ornament.
Ren Daiying smiled skillfully, "Concubine Shu has seen Sister Defei, is Sister Defei's body good?" Why did I only see Sister Concubine De greeting the sisters, why hasn't Concubine Xian arrived yet. ”
Ren Daiying was sarcastic about her, a few days ago, Concubine Xiao Defei had been recuperating from illness and did not ask the queen for peace, nor did she participate in the palace concubine's deliberations, but now that Concubine Xian is favored, she has become Concubine Xian's attendant.
"Thank you sister for your concern, my body is fine. It's still early, it's not yet. ”
Mu Bangshang had already finished dressing up, hiding in the dark and watching the open and secret battles between the palace concubines, from which it could be seen that Ren Daiying was standing in the queen's camp.
As for Concubine Xiao De, the emperor said that she was the queen's confidant, but because of the last incident, she had a stalemate with the queen. After all, the Xiao family and the Wen family are in the same spirit, so Concubine Xiao De can't be convinced.
She is quite optimistic about Zhong Yu and Fang Minjun, who are the first to arrive, and Scarlet Yi also said that these two people should also be guarded against, if they pretend to be pigs and eat tigers, Biluo is a good example.
To sum up, whether it is gentle and lovely or domineering, no one in this harem is credible.
The concubines were talking, and from the hour, Scarlet said: "The virtuous concubine has arrived!" ”
Mu Bang dressed in a purple palace brocade dress, with her hair in a high bun, gorgeous and dazzling, slowly sat down, looked dignified, and looked at the concubines.
Everyone bowed their heads, "I've seen Concubine Xian!" ”
"Sisters, you're welcome. Concubine Xian is just an ordinary concubine, she dare not exceed the queen's rights, this time the palace and Concubine De's sister are in charge of the harem at the emperor's behest, and when the queen is grounded, she still has to return it. ”
"During this period, if there is any dissatisfaction, just say it, and everyone will discuss it together, and this palace will definitely not act alone."
Mu Wanshang looked at Concubine Xiao De, "Sister Concubine De, you can also say a few words!" ”
Concubine Xiao Defei looked at everyone and smiled, "Concubine De has nothing to say, my sister is the head of the four concubines, and I listen to Sister Xian's sister." ”
Xiao Zhuyin pushed everything to Mu Bangshang, and Mu Bangshang was not polite, "Okay! Now that the palace concubine discussion has begun, the palace will first talk about this month's expenses. ”
"It is said that there are three thousand beauties in the harem, there are not many concubines in the harem, and the emperor is diligent in his official duties, and he has no plans to draft for the time being. Therefore, the silver coins used on the harem are also relatively loose. The palace has discussed with the emperor that the monthly silver of each palace will rise, and the magnitude will be very large. ”
As soon as they heard that the silver was going to rise, the originally quiet crowd became lively, although there would be arrangements for food and clothing in the palace. You still need silver to go around, and you need silver to give rewards, otherwise it will be too shabby, and you can't enter the palace and spend the family's silver, and you also need silver to give a gift on your birthday between sisters, and you can't give anything rewarded by the emperor. The expenses in the harem are also very large, and the silver is the key.
Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, "As for the rouge gouache in the palace, they will change some new styles sent by Jiangnan one after another." ”
"Xie Niangniang!"
"And ......" Mu Bangshang was about to mention the reward.
Before Mu Bangshang's words were finished, he heard Zhang Deshun call outside: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
The concubines knelt on the ground one after another, "Long live the emperor, long live!" ”
Mu Bangshang didn't expect the emperor to come, seeing that the time had just come down at this time, although he was wearing a regular suit, Zhang Deshun's face was red, and he hurried over.
The emperor has never participated in the deliberations of the harem women, so it is really troublesome for the emperor to come at this time.
Xuanyuan said recklessly: "Get up!" ”
Xuanyuan stepped forward and picked Mu Wanshang up, "I've disturbed you." ”
Mu Bangshang got up slowly, "If the emperor feels inconvenient, you can go to the side hall and sit first." ”
Xuanyuan whispered to Mu Wansheng: "Today is the palace concubine's discussion, you are not the queen, and your temperament is soft, of course I want to increase your face for you." ”
Mu Bangsheng's face was red, her face was shy, bright and moving, and she actually compared all the concubines.
Ren Daiying looked at the emperor, the emperor is a high-ranking emperor, and he has always been a very cold and arrogant person, even if he is in bed, he has never been soft and gentle.
The emperor's voice is warm when he treats the virtuous concubine, like a spring breeze, and it is really jealous to see the love between the two.
Xuanyuan looked at the concubines, "Someone! Bring your stuff along! ”
From the inner hall, many palace people walked in, and in the tray in their hands, there were exquisite steps, jade bracelets, and precious stone pendants. All kinds of gorgeous and light gauze clothes.
"This is a reward for the virtuous concubine procured by the Shanggong Bureau, celebrating the joy of the virtuous concubine's return to the palace, and the virtuous concubine said that I have not rewarded the harem for a long time, and it is inevitable to favor one over the other. Concubine Xian is benevolent, and today I will reward these things to the concubines through the golden mouth of the concubine. ”
Everyone sighed, the emperor treated Concubine Xian so favorably, these are all rewards for Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian wants to give it to everyone.
Mu Bangshang understood Xuanyuan's reckless intentions at this moment, these things were given to her by the emperor, even if they were rewarded, they might not be able to admit it. I will only think that it is something that the virtuous concubine does not want to buy people's hearts.
The emperor not only came to support her, but also gave her a reward in the name of the virtuous concubine, they received the emperor's kindness, and they would also think of the good of the virtuous concubine, and they would treat it as a treasure and take care of it carefully.
Xuanyuan said to Mu Bangsheng: "It's going to be given to you here, and I still have to deal with official business." ”
Xuanyuan went to the side hall recklessly, and everyone knelt on the ground one after another, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Hooray, hooray! ”
Anyone can see that the emperor came and went in a hurry this time for the virtuous concubine, and their reward was also because of the virtuous concubine's generosity.
Mu Wanshang looked at the concubines kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "Sisters, get up quickly!" ”
"Concubine Xie Xian's reward!"
Mu Wanshang looked at Concubine Xiao De, this reward is also to be distributed according to the rank of the harem concubines, "Sister Concubine Xiao, standing on the left hand side is distributed to the three of Concubine De, Shufei and Concubine Hui, and the rest is distributed to other sisters." ”
All the women knelt on the ground one after another, "Concubine Xie Xian's reward!" ”
After the reward has been distributed, it is natural that things will be discussed much more smoothly.
After the palace concubine's deliberations ended, Mu Bangshang came to the side hall and saw that Xuanyuan was not in the side hall to review the folds. Obviously seeing the emperor enter the side hall, is it in the study, how can the emperor go to the study today?
Xuanyuan sat in the study, casually flipping through it.
As he had guessed, she had barely read the books on the shelf.
Hearing the faint footsteps at the door, he doesn't know martial arts, his steps are very light, and he can judge that Mu Bangshang is coming when he stops his steps.
Quietly came to the door, Mu Bangshang walked in from outside, and Xuanyuan picked her up suddenly.
His body suddenly took off into the air, and his hands tightly climbed on his neck, "Your Majesty, people will be scared to death if they are scary." ”
Seeing her coquettish appearance, her heart was even more happy, "Everyone has been sent away." ”
"Well, with the emperor's reward, they are grateful to the concubines."
Xuanyuan's cheeks were already pressed against her pretty face, and her ears and temples grinded: "How do you want to thank me!" ”
Mu Wanshang was very itchy and wanted to get out of his arms, "Isn't the emperor afraid of bringing more trouble to his concubines?" ”
"You mean the Queen! There is me in her dare. ”
Mu Wang's eyes were like water, the bodies of the two were gradually heating up, the warm breath was approaching, the soft lips kissed the cheeks, and a little bit of lip glue together, with a panicked gasp. It is as if the energy of life in the body is ignited, blending with each other, and the fiery breath is entangled ...... each other.
In Fengyi Palace, Wen Zhen was lying on the phoenix couch, looking at the green smoke curling on the desk, his mother had come, but was blocked by the people sent by the emperor.
The emperor imprisoned her, and even her family was not allowed to visit, which was really excessive. I saw Mama Zhang walking in from the secret passage.
Mama Zhang saw that the queen was preoccupied, her mood was depressed, and her state was not very good.
Since she was locked up in Fengqi Palace, the queen always used the people in the palace to vent her anger, which made people panic.
Wen Zhen still remembers that today is the meeting of the palace concubines, and on weekdays, the concubines of all palaces and courtyards come to curry favor, and since they were imprisoned, they have all hid far away.
When she saw Mama Zhang's figure, she immediately stopped, "How is the situation outside?" ”
Mama Zhang hid a little farther away, "Concubine Shu said that the palace concubine is discussing today, and the emperor is here, and she has rewarded a lot of rewards in the name of the virtuous concubine!" ”
"What? The emperor actually participated in the palace concubine meeting? The reward was returned! ”
The emperor was afraid that someone would not be convinced, so he supported her, "The emperor is too partial." ”
"Concubine Niangniang also said that the concubines in the harem have risen in the moon, and even the queen's has also risen."
Ren Daiying did not mention that it was the emperor's intention, and deliberately sowed discord.
Wen Zhen couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the candlestick on the table, and smashed it at the crystal lamp opposite, "The palace rules set by this palace, she dared to change it, Mu Bangshang this palace must kill you!" ”
