Chapter 253: The Minor Election and the General Election (1)

Shen Wan remembered something again, so she asked, "What did Concubine Duan do to demote herself from a concubine to a nobleman?" ”

Xiangming replied: "This matter was a few months ago, someone impeached Pang Guiren's father for accepting bribes, Pang Guiren went to the emperor to beg the emperor, but the emperor refused to see her, but Chen Xiurong demoted her by two levels on the charge of 'interfering in politics', and was confined for three months. ”

Shen Wan frowned and said: "I have never heard that someone in the foreign dynasty committed a crime, which involves the truth of the harem, not to mention that the painting has not seen the emperor, how can he talk about politics?" ”

Chun'er said angrily: "So, it's still Chen Xiurong who retaliates!" Pang Guiren used to be very good with Niangniang! ”

Shen Wan said slowly: "If you deserve to be rectified because of your friendship with this palace, then what about Concubine Shun and Li Ronghua?" By the way, Shun's concubine is low-key, and she has the emperor's favorite princess Heyu, so naturally she will not be embarrassed, so what about Lironghua? ”

It's okay not to say it, but when she said it, Chun'er was full of grievances again, and she blushed and said: "Niangniang doesn't know that this Lironghua is really a thing that sees the wind and rudders!" As soon as the mother left the palace, Chen Xiurong slapped the harem, and she quickly climbed in front of Chen Xiurong and wagged her tail and begged for mercy! ”

Shen Wan was stunned, thinking that this Lironghua was Concubine Qing's person before she became the queen, and she took refuge in herself in order to take revenge on Concubine Qing. If she loses power, it's no wonder that she will go to another master!

Although this kind of person is despised, Shen Wan is not afraid, she knew that she was an unworthy person at the time, so she didn't know many things, and she didn't have much to worry about.

These can be put down for the time being, and the most important thing at the moment is to release Cui Shang Palace, and then find an opportunity to release Xiao Wumian as well. If he doesn't kill Xiao Wumian, it means that he is still useful to him. Now that the two northwestern countries are at war, I don't know what the situation of the war is. On the water master's side, in fact, Xiao Wumian is still needed.

Rubbing his temples, he suddenly remembered that Qingyue, this girl, went to the Internal Affairs Office to get her clothes, why hasn't she come back yet? There are too many things today, Xiangming and Chun'er stood in front of them, and almost forgot about her!

"The girl I brought back from the palace, called Qingyue, is the most lively and active, and I can't stop for a moment. Let her go to the Internal Affairs Office to get her clothes, why hasn't she come back yet? Xiangming, you ask someone to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask. ”

"Yes."

Chun'er happily asked, "Is this sister Qingyue very lively and active?" Well, I've met my bosom friend! Sister Xiangming always said that I couldn't hold my breath, and it was so boring to be with her. ”

Shen Wan smiled: "Yes, someone is making trouble with you now." ”

Xiangming sent someone out to look for a circle, and finally found it in the garden, brought it to Shen Wan, Qingyue said embarrassedly: "I went to the Internal Affairs Office to get winter clothes, who knew that when I came back, no one took it, so I got lost, I walked by myself and walked farther and farther, fortunately, a sister went to find me back." ”

Shen Wan reminded: "This is not a palace, the place is big, and there are many people, so you are not allowed to run around in the future." Even if you want to go out for a walk, let Chun'er accompany you. ”

"Yes, got it."

There was still a little time, Zhao'er was still sleeping, so Shen Wan took everyone to Ningshou Palace to pay respects to Concubine Shu to thank her for taking care of the harem these days.

Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the dynasty, and she used to be the most favored concubine of the first emperor, only thirty and six years old, and she is a very young concubine. The Queen Mother died, and only her position in the harem was the highest. But because of the name of the emperor's favorite concubine, and a son who was also a popular candidate for succession in the past, the emperor was suspicious, but she was very obedient to the rules. In Ningshou Palace, it is rare to go out.

At this time, Shen Wan came to pay respects, she was also very polite, Shen Wan often played in the palace of the concubine when she was a child, and the concubine often joked with her that she was treated as a daughter-in-law. When we meet at this time, we think about the past, and we just talk about making people.

Concubine Shu talked to Shen Wan, looking a little embarrassed, hesitated again and again, and then said: "Since the queen has returned to the palace, the queen is naturally in charge of the affairs of the harem." The mourning family is asking for something here, and I ask the queen for permission. ”

Shen Wan hurriedly said: "Concubine Niangniang, please say, I will try my best to help Niangniang plan." ”

Concubine Shu said: "Next year, it will be the year of the general election, and I regret that I have been married so far, but I have no heirs." Innika has the identity of the daughter of King Miao, and she is married by the emperor, so it's hard to say anything. Therefore, the mourning family thought, why don't you choose one of the talented girls next year and give it to Xichao as a side concubine, right? ”

Shen Wan was stunned, yes, I almost forgot that March next year is a triennial election, there is a small election before the election, and the palace maid is chosen, this is easy to do, and the palace maid who has reached the age will be released from the palace and enter a new one. It's just this election...... Not only for the emperor to enrich the harem, but also for the benefit of the prince.

Xichao and Nika have been married for some days, and there has been no good news for a long time, so Concubine Shu is inevitably worried.

Shen Wan had mixed feelings in her heart, and in front of Concubine Shu, she had to smile and say: "Don't worry, Concubine Niang, when I understand the emperor, next year, when the show girl enters Beijing, I will definitely choose a satisfactory one for the Twelfth Master." ”

Concubine Shu smiled and said, "That's good, that's good." ”

Coming out of Ningshou Palace, Shen Wan already felt exhausted, and she didn't know where her previous motivation had gone. Maybe it's because I've been resting for too long, right? When I was in the south, although I needed to go to the court to deal with government affairs, it was a small country after all, and there was nothing to deal with many times. What's more, Xiao Wumian helps him. When she arrived in the western country, she was just a princess, and she didn't need to be busy. Now I have returned to the northern kingdom and returned to the court, but I suddenly have to face these things.

The draft must be chosen, it is impossible for Chu Xichen's harem to have only a few people, let alone monopolize the entire harem. In that case, Yushi should say that he is a red face and a disaster.

I think Cui Shanggong said that the queen's virtue is to be seen by others! Yes, it's not easy to be a queen, and if you don't want to be virtuous, then it's time to step down! She's already lost her position once and doesn't want to lose a second time!

So, continue to be a virtuous queen!

When she returned to the palace, Shen Wan was so tired that she couldn't speak, but she suddenly saw a familiar figure and immediately exclaimed: "Teacher! ”

Cui Shanggong slowly knelt down and saluted, and Shen Wan rushed over to help her up, great! As soon as Cui Shanggong returned to his side, it seemed that this virtuous queen could lighten her burden a little.

Cui Shanggong looked at Shen Wan and sighed: "Alas, Your Highness! She didn't say anything more, the voice of His Highness had already contained everything.

Shen Wan looked at her carefully and found that she was a little pale and a little thinner. Immediately burst into tears and said, "The teacher has suffered. ”

Cui Shanggong smiled faintly and said, "The emperor thinks that I and Niangniang have a master and apprentice, and I don't have much difficulty, so I can't talk about hard work." Now I feel so relieved to see my mother in front of me. After a pause, she smiled and said, "I heard that there is a night banquet in the evening, Niangniang should go and prepare, I will see a lot of people tonight, Niangniang should cheer up." ”

Shen Wan smiled and went in to change clothes and prepare. Cui Shanggong happily thought: His Royal Highness has not changed, everything is still the same.
