Chapter 318: Jiang Guiren's questioning
Then the four of them saluted Su Youyi and thanked them, Su Youyi smiled and asked them to get up, and this smile looked very proud in the eyes of the queen.
The queen looked uncomfortable, and her face gradually sank.
But today is by no means the home of the queen's attack, because someone took the lead in getting up and questioning it.
"Queen Mother, isn't it too unfair to be promoted to the harem this time?"
Jiang Guiren has learned to restrain a lot after entering the palace for many years, but this time she really couldn't help it, "The noble and pure nobles who entered the palace with their concubines have been promoted many times, why can't the concubines take their turn once?" Speaking of which, Concubine Zhao only entered the harem a few months earlier than the concubine, she is now a concubine, and the concubine has always been a noble person who does not even have a title, doesn't the queen consider the hearts of the harem? ”
The queen was a little angry when she heard this, thought about it carefully, and felt that this was a good opportunity, so she said, "Noble Jiang, don't be impatient. As a nobleman, if you are promoted again, you will be a concubine. You need to know that there is a fixed number of concubines, you are now living in the side hall of Zhongcui Palace, if you are promoted to the concubine position and have to move to the main position of the first palace, it is too complicated. Besides, this is not something that Hongu can do if he wants to. ”
The queen's last sentence quietly threw the spearhead at Su Youyi, alluding to Su Youyi's refusal to let Jiang Guiren be promoted.
Jiang Guiren was annoyed for a while, where could he take care of the queen's intentions, and suddenly stared at Su Youyi.
Su Youyi picked up the teacup lightly, as if she had just remembered when Jiang Guiren entered the palace, and said with her cheeks raised: "Yes, not to mention that the palace has forgotten, it turns out that Jiang Guiren entered the palace in the same batch as Sister Wan." It's just that this time the emperor handed over the matter of Jin Feng to the palace and the queen's mother, so we can naturally only decide the affairs of the sisters with lower ranks. There is such a thing as being promoted to a concubine, and this palace is just a concubine, how can it be easy to make decisions? ”
After speaking, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
Jiang Guiren thought suspiciously for a moment, felt that what Su Youyi said made sense, and turned his gaze to the queen.
Su Youyi is only a concubine, she is not qualified to decide the promotion of concubines, the queen is the master of the queen's harem in the middle palace, she is always qualified to decide, right?
The queen frowned slightly, and didn't know what reason to use to shirk it, so she had to say: "Concubine Zhao is right, this matter is very important, and it is still up to the emperor to decide." ”
The ball kicked around and couldn't be shaken off, and the virtuous queen simply kicked it on the emperor.
The corners of Su Youyi's lips under the teacup moved slightly, and she couldn't help but feel funny.
He said, "That's exactly the truth. If you talk about people who have not been promoted for a long time, the two sisters, Concubine Hui and Concubine Yan, have not been promoted for a long time. I selfishly thought that the two sisters had a prince and a princess, and they should have been promoted to the throne a long time ago. It's a pity that I'm just a concubine, so I don't dare to be the master, and I ask the two sisters to be weird. ”
The four words of the concubine position show more and more the meanness of the queen, and it seems that the queen is preventing these high-ranking concubines from being promoted.
Even Concubine Hui, who has always been self-aware, couldn't help but look up at the queen when she saw this.
The queen frowned, and it took a while to react, and she followed Su Youyi's words and said: "Yes, the concubines of the Jin Feng harem are the emperor's sacred heart. In the matter of adjudication, even if the palace is the queen, she does not dare to adjudicate the concubines with high status at will. ”
Concubine Hui's gaze retracted.
Concubine Yan didn't smile, "Yes, the queen mother has always been pure and soft-hearted, and she has always rarely controlled the concubines with high positions in the harem. For example, the Li family in the past, and Concubine Fang......"
She stopped talking at the right time, so that the queen would not have a chance to have a seizure.
The queen's brows became more and more frowned, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was very unhappy with what Concubine Yan said. Isn't this clearly saying that she, the queen, is weak and doesn't dare to offend the Li family and Concubine Fang in the past, and now she doesn't dare to offend Su Youyi?
Not to mention Su Youyi, even Concubine Hui and Concubine Yan, the queen is helpless.
Seeing that they were talking about it, Jiang Guiren turned to other topics, and hurriedly said: "Since Concubine Zhao and the queen mother both said so, then I will go to the emperor and ask the emperor to uphold justice!" ”
After saying that, he hurriedly blessed his body and went to the emperor on the spot.
The rest of the concubines were dumbfounded, Su Youyi couldn't help but look at Li Changzai, her expression was also very entangled, looking at the direction Jiang Guiren left, as if she wanted to go with her.
Three of the four concubines who entered the palace this year were sealed, but Li Changzai, who had the highest family background, was not promoted, so it was strange that she could swallow this breath.
Su Youyi smiled and teased: "Don't you want to go?" ”
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Li Changzai.
Li Changzai was stunned, and reluctantly smiled: "Concubine Zhao is laughing, the concubine has just entered the palace, and her qualifications are still shallow, where can she be indignant because she failed to be promoted?" The concubines didn't dare, but it was arranged by the emperor and the queen. ”
That's a very good thing to say.
It's just the ambition in her eyes, which is not what Su Youyi told her.
The queen's face softened a little, she no longer liked Li Changzai, and she couldn't ignore this kind of similar words of loyalty, "It's still Li Changzai who is well-behaved." You can rest assured, as long as you abide by your duties in the palace and do not form a party for personal gain, sooner or later there will be a day of promotion. ”
Li Changzai was not interested in this at all, what kind of background and talent did she have, and what did she need to rely on to keep her duty to get the Jin Feng?
As soon as Liu Guiren entered the palace, he hugged Yan Concubine, and now he hugged Yan Concubine and Su Youyi tightly, didn't he still get the Jin Seal? Don't form a party for personal gain?
Bah.
Su Youyi turned her head and said with a smile: "Isn't it?" If Li Changzai can continue to be so well-behaved, the queen will definitely like it. ”
I don't know if this is a sarcasm of Li Changzai or a sarcasm of the queen, everyone didn't dare to speak, and quietly watched the two giants of the harem fighting, and each had something to say with a gun and a stick.
After a while, Cui Shao hurriedly walked in from outside and saluted, "Queen Mother, Jiang Guiren really went to the Qianqing Palace to find the emperor." happened to meet the emperor and the ministers outside to discuss political affairs, Jiang Guiren collided, and the emperor was angry and wanted to punish Jiang Guiren heavily! ”
The queen was surprised: "How did you collide?" ”
Cui Yan raised his head and glanced at the concubines, a little embarrassed, and closed his eyes and said ruthlessly: "Jiang Guiren hit Lord Ji and knocked Lord Ji down and bled on his head. Marquis Weiyuan happened to be in the Qianqing Palace, and he was begging the emperor for mercy for Jiang Guiren at this time. ”
The crowd was shocked.
"What kind of strength did Jiang Guiren eat? actually knocked down a man from Master Ji, and hit his head so much that he was bleeding? Tsk, I really can't see it on weekdays. ”
"Jiang Guiren is so out of shape, no wonder the emperor wants to punish him heavily, Lord Ji is the emperor's most trusted minister, what if something happens?"
Everyone was talking, and Su Youyi was secretly shocked in her heart, not knowing how Ji Yushen was doing now.
Although he is a scholar, he will not be knocked down and bled by a harem woman of Jiang Guiren, is Jiang Guiren too angry that he has not been promoted, or is Ji Yushen intentional?
Su Youyi put a question mark in her heart.
