Chapter 171: The concubines are seized of power
There is no doubt that it is the honorable Queen Mother who reprimands An Concubine, Xiao'an.
And with the Queen Mother's scolding, Zhao Ziqian, who originally had a straight face and no expression, frowned, and this scene happened to be captured by Lin Zhimeng, who looked up.
Lin Zhimeng's heart was suffocated.
Just now, she and Kang Ling were torn like this, and they didn't see Zhao Ziqian half moved, but now the Queen Mother just said a word about An Concubine and made him frown, this result made Lin Zhimeng grit her teeth secretly.
Obviously, she is the one who loves him the most, why has he never had her in his eyes!
Lin Zhimeng didn't know at this time, Zhao Ziqian already knew that she was the mastermind of the assassination of Yi Xiangxiang, let alone falling in love with her, if it wasn't for Yi Xiangxiang taking care of the overall situation to stop Zhao Ziqian, Lin Zhimeng would have been in a different place.
Love is unreasonable, it makes people tender to what they love, but they are like mustard to others.
Lin Zhimeng's love was originally not happy for Zhao Ziqian, but it was not disgusting. But since Lin Zhimeng hurt his beloved because of her so-called love, this love made Zhao Ziqian disgusted and even hated.
He is not a good person, he will not have any pity for Lin Zhimeng, even if she is in the name of love, he will definitely make her pay for her actions!
Sooner or later, it's just that.
Men's affection is different from women's affection, women will have a softness to those who like them no matter what, but men can eradicate it ruthlessly
Especially people like Zhao Ziqian, who are kings and emperors, are even more cold than ordinary people.
Then why did Xiao'an scold An Concubine, naturally he was so angry that he saw this guy laughing! In this case, normal people will be angry.
Yi Xiangxiang turned her brain, quickly thinking of what to say.
I saw her kowtow and then Yingying got up, and after bowing again, she said to the Empress Dowager Xiao'an: "The Empress Dowager misunderstood, the concubine didn't laugh at the two palace concubines fighting for me, but remembered the concubine's best friend, that is, the queen's mother Yi Xiangxiang." ”
She bluntly provoked the contradiction between Lin Zhimeng and Kang Ling, but made Xiaoan feel that she was frank. In addition, in recent days, the Empress Dowager Xiao'an's impression of the royal lady Yi Xiangxiang has changed, and she has calmed down a little.
So I only heard the Empress Dowager Xiao'an ask, "Oh? Thought of the queen what? ”
Yi Xiangxiang pretended to change her way to praise herself:
"The Queen Mother doesn't know that the concubine, a close friend in the boudoir, is obviously a versatile person, but she is misunderstood as having no talent and no virtue, but she never explains. She grew up with her concubine since she was a child, because the concubine is stubborn in her bones, and she never shows favor to outsiders, which makes her notorious! ”
"But the person who really walks into her heart, that is sure to get her honesty! Although people from outside the world criticize him, the people around him praise him. ”
Xiao'an agreed: "What you said is not wrong, Lord Duan has praised the Yi family brothers and sisters more than once, although most people outside say that the queen does not understand the rules, but the mourning family also found that she is actually extremely polite, which shows that people can't look at appearances." ”
There are different opinions about Yi Xiangxiang's evaluation, but because of her hand at the palace banquet, and the treasure that was later dug up for the construction of the Meizhou River, the current Yi Xiangxiang is the object of praise from many literati and ink writers, and many people in Meizhou have erected a monument to her immortality.
"Isn't it, she hates trouble as much as the Queen Mother, and she doesn't want to be famous. It was because the concubine had just heard the Queen Mother talk about her goodness, and the concubine knew that the Queen Mother had seen her goodness and really loved her, so she smiled happily. ”
Well? Before that, I said Yi Xiangxiang, okay? How come I don't remember? Xiao'an is suspicious.
However, the fox is suspicious, but Xiao'an has grasped the key word in An Concubine's mouth, that is, to praise her for not trying to be famous!
It's not that she doesn't want to be famous, if she pays attention to those false names, it is her son who is now the emperor, and she has already started to clamp down the one in Cining Palace, where is it possible to let the other party be on an equal footing with her.
But despite this, there are still those who don't have a long eye to say that she suppressed the one in Cining Palace! Fortunately, she doesn't want to be famous, others like to say what they want!
This An Concubine is quite self-conscious! Hyo-an thought so.
She sighed and then continued Concubine An's words: "The queen is indeed a good boy, and the governor knows the rules and etiquette!" Concubine An, you must be a good friend of her! It's not like these ignorant people, who are looking for trouble all day long! ”
When the concubines heard this, they all silently slandered in their hearts whether the Queen Mother was blind, but the clever ghosts hurriedly echoed: "The Queen Mother is right!" ”
Xiao'an didn't buy this account: "What is! From today onwards, the mourning family will take back the rights and responsibilities of Lin Guifei and Kang Guifei to assist in managing palace affairs, and you have thought carefully about the mourning family! And before the queen returns, the palace affairs will be managed by Concubine Hui and Concubine Ning, you must not relax! ”
Well...... Turning your face is faster than turning a book.
Concubine Hui Liu Yingxue was happy when she heard this, but Concubine Ning Su Jingxiang was a little hesitant.
"The Queen Mother, the concubines have never taken care of palace affairs, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it." Su Jingxiang said hesitantly, with a tangled look on her face.
The contradiction between Lin Zhimeng and Kang Ling has been moved to the surface, and at this time, managing palace affairs is not power, but a hot potato! Think about it, if there is a conflict between Chongren Palace and Jinghua Palace, she will stand there? This is really a question worth pondering.
Of course, if Yi Xiangxiang was involved, she would definitely stand on Yi Xiangxiang, but now it is the contradiction between Lin Zhimeng and Kang Ling, and she doesn't want to be caught in the middle as a meatloaf. Anyway, the power of palace affairs is something that cannot be snatched away, as long as the queen "returns to the palace", it is logical that she can get it back, and she doesn't need to help Yi Xiangxiang do the so-called hegemony.
If Yi Xiangxiang knew Concubine Ning's thoughts at this time, she would definitely scold her elm head! Being able to control the palace power means being able to control the people below, not to mention being able to bury some of your own people, and even being able to deal with some enemies, and even making a fortune!
In the harem, those who don't spend money on food and clothing, and no one deliberately says anything for a little bit of deduction, and they can make a lot of money from the emperor when they come and go!
Well, a money fan is a money fan!
And the Empress Dowager Xiao'an's side is not without thinking about this problem, Liu Yingxue is from a family, and now with the identity of Concubine Hui, she can suppress some palace concubines from the same family. But Su Jingxiang was accepted by her son because of her uncle's relationship, and she was given a concubine for face, in fact, she was somewhat unable to suppress others in terms of background and identity, and Xiao'an did not doubt Su Jingxiang's current excuse.
However, there are only a few concubines in the palace, and she still doesn't want Lin Zhimeng to get involved in palace affairs again.
Although Suihe is a pawn buried by Mama Liu, Mama Liu is also the person she gave to Kang Ling. Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Lin Zhimeng took care of Suihe with a knife in his hand, and more or less took root in Xiao'an's heart.
"It's okay, if you don't understand anything, come to the mourning family and ask the mourning family. If anyone doesn't give face to bully you, the mourning family is your backstage! ”
This is a naked warning to others not to be rude to Su Jingxiang.
When Su Jingxiang got this sentence, she naturally had no reason to refuse, so she responded.
Liu Yingxue and Su Jingxiang still knelt after receiving the errand of managing the palace affairs, and the Empress Dowager Xiao'an still didn't let the kneeling concubines get up, because in addition to her sitting in the main hall and the saint Zhao Ziqian, only Concubine An who had just stood up to answer was leisurely and comfortable.
Everyone only listened to the Empress Dowager above, and asked: "The Holy Sun has a lot of opportunities, but don't worry about these filthy things in the harem, now that the Meizhou River is about to start, the Holy Lord should concentrate on government affairs." ”
"Erchen knows." Zhao Ziqian made a gesture towards Xiao'an.
Yi Xiangxiang, who was below, muttered in her heart that this mother and son are putting on a show, after this scene this morning, Zhao Ziqian's expression has not even changed! Where the troubles come from!
She muttered to herself and continued to listen, only to hear the Empress Dowager Xiao'an ask: "I wonder if the Holy Lord has sent someone to visit the queen in the other garden recently?" If the injury is good enough to move, it is time to go back to the palace to raise it. After all, there is a doctor in the palace, which is somewhat more convenient than the other garden. ”
To tell the truth, although she is not sure whether what her son said about the queen is still alive is true or not, she really hopes that the queen will return to the palace as soon as possible.
Not to mention that she feels more and more that her impulsive and ruthless niece Kang Ling is actually not so suitable to be a queen, let's just say that now Lin Zhimeng is getting stronger day by day, and she also needs someone who can balance Lin Zhimeng.
And her niece Kang Ling is obviously being pressed and beaten by Lin Zhimeng now!
Her niece can't be the queen, and she can't let the Lin family pick up the cheap!
There are many dirty relationships between the old families in Kyoto, and the relationship between the Lin family and the Kang family is also delicate.
Zhao Ziqian frowned, and then replied: "Go back and ask the queen." ”
Well? Ask the Queen? The queen has such a big face? The people wondered in their hearts that the Holy One would say such a thing.
Lin Zhimeng clenched her fists.
Xiao'an was also stunned! The son turned out to be a strict wife? But doesn't he like An Concubine, and has been looking for An Concubine for several years?
Xiao'an said that he was getting more and more incomprehensible!
"Okay, just remind her to go back to the palace as soon as possible." Today's filial piety is exhausted, and he doesn't bother to say anything more.
In the time that followed, the Empress Dowager Xiao'an verbally instructed the concubines under her head a few words, and then let everyone go back. Lin Zhimeng, who withdrew from Ci'an Palace, stopped Kang Ling and said: "Why should Concubine Kang be like this, make you and me lose both, but let the fisherman benefit!" ”
When she said this, she looked at Su Jingxiang, who stepped out of Ci'an Palace, and Yi Xiangxiang, who pretended to be An Concubine and stepped out with her.
Who the fisherman Deli is talking about, the scene is clear.
Kang Ling sneered: "Concubine Lin doesn't know, the palace doesn't care who gets the benefit, as long as it can hurt the enemy eight hundred, the palace can afford to lose one thousand." Besides, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, why does Lin Guifei think that Concubine Ning is not a friend of the palace? ”
She is more direct than Lin Zhimeng.
"Concubine Kang Guifei is not confused, Su Jingxiang has always been the queen's person, how can she be your friend!" Lin Zhimeng was obviously a little angry.
Kang Ling didn't care, she said lightly: "Didn't they all say that the queen is dead?" That Su Jingxiang always has to find someone to rely on! But if the queen didn't die, it was you Lin Guifei who should be more worried, right? ”
Lin Zhimeng frowned: "What do you mean?" ”
"It's not interesting!" Kang Ling didn't want to entangle with Lin Zhimeng here: "Lin Zhimeng, I don't know why I hate you so much, and I hate it more and more!" Wait, between you and me, it's not over! ”
Dropping this sentence, Kang Ling raised his legs and left. Lin Zhimeng looked at her back and saw that the earrings decorated with bright moon beads in her ears were shaking and shaking, and she had a headache.
Xiangqiao leaned over and stood behind Lin Zhimeng and asked, "Niangniang, does Concubine Kang know something?" ”
Lin Zhimeng shook her head: "It shouldn't be, otherwise she would have exposed me directly, instead of being so tempting." ”
"But Concubine Kang is so strong, and this time it caused you to lose the right to assist in palace affairs, what should we do?" Qiao Sui also leaned over and asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, at least the initiative is still in our hands." Lin Zhimeng is not worried about this.
Xiangqiao understood what the master meant, but Qiaosui was a little confused, and it wasn't until they returned to Chongren Palace that she received Liu Yingxue, the concubine of Jingyang Palace, from the back door, and suddenly realized.
Qiao Sui introduced Liu Yingxue step by step into the living room of the inner hall of Chongren Palace.
The inner hall of Chongren Palace is elegant, which Liu Yingxue has known for a long time, after all, it is not the first time she has come to Chongren Palace, but this time she came in, she felt that this elegance had a noisy atmosphere.
Maybe it's because of Lin Zhimeng's strength in the main hall of Ci'an Palace today, which has made her have a different view of people! Because of the change in the impression of people, the appreciation of objects has also brought a veil. Liu Yingxue thought so.
"Say hello to the concubine!" Liu Yingxue rushed to Lin Zhimeng above.
Lin Zhimeng called out with a pleasant face, and said: "Concubine Hui, don't be polite, sit down, Chongren Palace will have to take care of you in the future." ”
"What did the concubine Niangniang say, this time the Queen Mother asked the concubines to take care of the palace affairs together, but where did the concubines know about the big and small things in this palace, so they specially came to ask the concubine Niangniang for advice."
Liu Yingxue's words are a sign of loyalty.
Lin Zhimeng was naturally happy to see it, so she spoke up again: "Concubine Hui doesn't need to be nervous, sit down quickly!" ”
Liu Yingxue sat down in the rosewood circle chair with her head down.
"There are many rules in the palace, and Xiangqiao will tell you how to do it, so you don't have to worry. Concubine Ning has the backstage of the Queen Mother, and you don't have to do many things against her, so as not to cause trouble for yourself. ”
Lin Zhimeng's meaning is very simple, which ones are her people in this harem, and which ones need to be released and need to be contained, Xiangqiao knows everything, and Xiangqiao will teach her how to do it. As for not taking the initiative to provoke Su Jingxiang, it is also to ask Liu Yingxue not to cause trouble for her.
Liu Yingxue naturally didn't dare to say no, and praised them one by one.
"But...... Changchun Palace, how to arrange? Liu Yingxue asked cautiously.
In fact, what she wanted to know clearly when she came this time was Lin Zhimeng's attitude towards Changchun Palace. Today, looking at Concubine An Zai and the Holy Mother like a fish in water, she felt that Concubine An was better not to move.
However, she also knew about the design of An Concubine a few days ago, so she wanted to see what Lin Zhimeng said. If Lin Zhimeng had to fight with An Concubine, she would have no choice.
Liu Yingxue brought down An Concubine, which made Lin Zhi dream of the details of the Ci'an Palace just now, and her mood became depressed again.
"You are not Liu Fangfei's opponent, it would be good to be able to deal with Su Jingxiang, don't worry about anything else." Lin Zhimeng's tone changed, and her voice was no longer gentle.
Liu Yingxue was a little aggrieved, she didn't want to be good to Concubine An at all! Just ask! Hello ask!
But she naturally dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak!
After Lin Zhimeng explained some details to Liu Yingxue, the latter left Chongren Palace. And with the work of two pillars of incense, Yi Xiangxiang got the news.
In Changchun Palace, Yi Xiangxiang crossed Erlang's legs to listen to the report of the dragon girl, and then nodded frequently: "The Liu family really leaned on the Lin family!" It seems that King An's return to Beijing is quite a threat to them! ”
Liu Fangfei didn't understand this, but the dragon girl knew the connection, so she only heard her say: "The Lin family has added the Liu family to help, but it feels a bit like a tiger with wings." ”
The Lin family is a deep-rooted existence, and the Liu family is a family of Chengjue, and the combination of these two strong families will definitely increase their strength.
"It doesn't matter, the alliance between the Lin family and the Liu family can't compete with the An Wangfu and the Pei family! We don't have to worry about those things outside, but although this Lin Guifei lost her errand, she still looks like she is still in power! Fortunately, Concubine Ning guarded half of it, but it was not all taken away by Concubine Lin! Yi Xiangxiang has a big heart.
Liu Yingxue holds the palace power, which is equivalent to Lin Zhimeng holding the palace power, but with Su Jingxiang by her side, they can't cover the sky with one hand. Thinking about it this way, in fact, the biggest loss was Kang Ling, and Yi Xiangxiang was a little surprised by this result.
Of course, Kang Ling is also the niece of the Empress Dowager Xiao'an, the Empress Dowager will not let her niece suffer too many grievances, and Kang Ling is not a master who can be wronged.
The dragon girl nodded: "With Concubine Ning guarding it, Liu Yingxue's hand can't be inserted into Changchun Palace, which can save a lot of trouble." ”
Yi Xiangxiang naturally agreed with the Dragon Maiden's words, but at the same time, she also knew that even if there was no Su Jingxiang, Changchun Palace would not be embarrassed, after all, there was still a noble saint Zhao Zi!
The reason why Changchun Palace is like an iron bucket is actually mostly because of Zhao Ziqian's relationship! When it comes to who to protect in the imperial city, the emperor will always be the most capable person.
So throughout the ages, smart favorite concubines have been there to please the saints, not to fight with the palace concubines! For only the most honorable person wants to protect you, and nothing can hurt you.
Well? That Yi Xiangxiang was still assassinated?
That's Yi Xiangxiang's own death!
If Yi Xiangxiang had brought enough guards to Qishan, she would not have been besieged and killed.
Yi Xiangxiang Solitaire's words: "Now Chongren Palace and Jinghua Palace are incompatible, although Kang Ling is also a person with a mind, but once the temper is aroused, the inviolable princess disease will be stimulated together!" And Lin Zhimeng, it is obvious that she doesn't want to tolerate Kang Ling anymore, now we can wait and see what happens! ”
Liu Fangfei didn't understand what it meant, but felt that the situation seemed to be good, so she asked, "Then what should we do next?" ”
Well...... This is her daily inquiry.
Yi Xiangxiang spread his hands: "What else can I do?" Wait, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! ”
