Chapter 157: Deliberate Flattery
Leng Guifei nodded with satisfaction, and the eyes of the other palace maids and eunuchs looked at the palace maid a little weird, but it was a pity that Leng Guifei was too proud to look at it.
Leng Guifei entered the palace and saw that the palace's curtains had been replaced with golden yellow, with flying phoenix patterns on them, and the furniture was also a new color.
"Congratulations, Niangniang." The other palace people hurriedly congratulated.
Leng Guifei looked at the one-color objects, these were used by the queen in the past, especially this golden yellow, except for the queen mother in this palace, no one dared to use it.
Is the emperor going to make himself queen?
"I can't say that Niangniang gave birth to a prince, Niangniang is the queen." The little palace maid deliberately flattered her.
Leng Guifei's hand lightly crossed the curtain, the pearl glass shoes under her feet flashed with crystal light, her clothes were also inlaid with gems and pearls, all of which were specially sent by the emperor to do it, and she was the only one who had such an honor, and even the concubine was just a reward for something else.
"Your Majesty, whose brand did you turn over tonight?" Leng Guifei asked the palace people around her.
A little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to report and said, "Where is the little eunuch in the emperor's imperial study, the little eunuchs said that the emperor did not turn over anyone's sign today, and is discussing state affairs with the adults. ”
Come to think of it, the overall situation has been decided, and the emperor is probably not in the mood to go to the harem. Moreover, the concubines in the harem are all old people in the past, and the emperor likes fresh women, so I am afraid that he is not much interested in entering the palace, and he is pregnant, and it is not easy to serve.
"Okay, Bengong knows, you keep an eye on Bengong, and if there is any news, report it to Bengong immediately, do you know?"
The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Yes, Niangniang." ”
"This palace is also tired, you guys go down!" Leng Guifei stroked the hair ornament on this head, lazily walked to the side of the chaise longue, leaned on the big pillow, and closed her eyes to recuperate.
After a few cups of tea, the palace talent who went to find Qin Cairen came back. His face was a little ugly, and he first secretly glanced at Leng Guifei, who closed her eyes and recuperated, thinking in her heart how to make Leng Guifei spare herself.
In the past, Concubine Leng was cruel to the palace maids, and if she was unsatisfactory, she would die.
The little palace maid trembled and knelt on the ground, and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, that Qin Cairen ......"
"What's wrong with Qin Cairen?" Leng Guifei opened her eyes and looked at the little palace maid with a panicked face.
The little palace maid bit her lip and whispered: "The slave maid arrived at the gate of Qin Cairen's palace, but there was a seal given by the emperor at the gate of the palace, no matter how the slave and maid knocked on the door, no one answered the slave in the door." ”
Leng Guifei's body rose to the ground, and she wondered: "Seal, what seal, you knocked on the door, and they didn't say anything, right?" ”
"Yes, sis. The slave maid went to inquire about other people, and heard that the seal written by the emperor himself did not allow the people in the palace of Qin Cairen to come out, nor did the people in the palace be allowed to enter. After the little palace maid finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Leng Guifei, and saw that Leng Guifei's face was very unsightly.
"That means that the mourning family wants to take revenge, but they can't do it, right?" Leng Guifei's belly was full of anger, and there was no place to vent it.
The little palace maid lowered her head in horror, she usually has a very quiet mouth, and she is very loved by Concubine Leng Guifei, but this love is also limited, and she is always a worthless minion.
"Since you didn't do anything good, you dare to come back?" Leng Guifei said angrily.
The little palace maid was even more frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy: "The slave maid is also worried about Niangniang's body, and asked Niangniang to spare the slave maid." ”
"Spare you and let everyone else learn from you? Come on, send her to the Internal Criminal Division, don't dangle in front of my eyes, and annoy me. Leng Guifei waved her hand impatiently.
Two little eunuchs came up and dragged the little palace maid away.
"Niangniang spare your life, Niangniang spare your life." The little palace maid kept begging for mercy, and the others looked at it, they were all terrified, doing things for Leng Guifei, even if she was rich, she didn't have the life to take it.
The palace was in a panic, when I heard footsteps and a woman's lazy voice, "What's the matter?" Chickens and dogs jump, let her go! Look at the frightened, Sister Leng, when will you be merciful, don't shout at the palace maids and eunuchs at every turn, that is the work of rough people, but it is not done by us concubines. ”
Those who dare to say these words are only concubines who are in the same position as Concubine Leng in this palace.
Concubine Shu waved her hand and called the palace maid behind her, take the palace maid who made the mistake just now, take it out so raw, don't be scared anymore.
"Who else should I think of as a bodhisattva, it turned out to be a concubine!" Leng Guifei raised her eyes disdainfully.
Concubine Shu also changed into fresh clothes, and the people who gave birth to children were the same as before, without any changes, and they were still not as beautiful as women in the world.
Wearing a thin-colored smoky cloud shirt, lined with a pale green wrap skirt like smoke and flowers, a jade-colored ribbon around the waist, and a cloak of the same color on her shoulders, she looks graceful with a waist and a beauty like a flower.
The pearl hairpin with this row of gems on the head, a round butterfly wishful hairpin next to the sideburns, and even a fine pearl smeared in it between the eyebrows, which is more and more glamorous.
Seeing Leng Guifei's disdainful expression, Concubine Shu took care of herself on the concubine couch and said with a smile: "Although I am not a bodhisattva, I will not be as ruthless as my sister, killing people is like child's play, and a good and beautiful person has entered the Internal Criminal Division, and it is not for those vulgar people to be ruined." Since my sister doesn't like that palace maid, let's give it to my sister! My sister is quite cute to look at, and I just lack a sharp little palace maid. ”
Leng Guifei almost didn't choke Concubine Shu to death with these words, this is a good person to do it in her palace. If you let these minions see this, who will work for them in the future.
"Concubine Shu, you are so free, come to my palace to call the shots."
Concubine Shu was not angry at all, leaned lazily on the pillow, picked up the fruit on the low table and ate one, and then said: "The palace is depressed, although Du Tingcheng is still the queen now, she is already in the cold palace, and the emperor has not re-summoned her.
I think you and I are the big ones in this palace, and I have to think about it for the emperor, I think after the overall situation is decided, is it possible to choose a concubine. ”
As soon as Concubine Shu's words were finished, Concubine Leng felt her eyebrows beat, "Choose a concubine?" ”
Concubine Shu nodded and said, "Yes, choose a concubine." This palace looks at the depression of the palace, it is not lively at all, there are more sisters, Sister Leng also has something to do, frame this, frame that, and the palace will not be lonely. ”
Leng Guifei listened to Concubine Shu's words becoming more and more harsh, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Concubine Shu, pay attention to the tone of your speech, your current backer has been out of the palace, do you still think you are the former concubine?" ”
"That's not the same, Sister Leng still can't take me, isn't it? Actually, I don't bother to come to see you, you are the most boring, vicious, and can't tolerate people, being a sister with you, and beware of you everywhere, it's really boring, or Sister Qin has a lot of people, affectionate and righteous, although sometimes she is very annoying, but you don't have to beware everywhere that she will do something secretly, which she is much better than your cold concubine. After the concubine finished speaking, she didn't look at Leng Guifei's face, got up from the concubine's couch, and walked towards the outside of the palace with her waist and limbs.
Leng Guifei was not lightly angered by Concubine Shu, and said hatefully: "This is what the emperor meant, or what you mean, Concubine Shu." ”
"Guess?" Concubine Shu's smile was bright, but in the eyes of Leng Guifei, she hated itchy.
The men in the world are really unkind, but as soon as they settled down, they thought about the draft, and they wasted their hardships with him.
Concubine Shu came out of the palace of Concubine Leng and asked the little palace maid in Concubine Leng Guifei's palace just now: "Qin Cairen can be in his palace." ”
The little palace maid was so frightened that her face was completely blank, and she put it away for half a day, and said busily: "The gate of Qin Cairen's palace is closed, the slaves can't enter, and there is no sound inside, and the servants don't know anything else." ”
"Hongu understood." Concubine Shu smiled, she really admired this Qin Cairen, she was still worried about how she would resolve this crisis, even if she could pass the emperor's pass, she couldn't pass Leng Guifei's pass, so she hurried to Leng Guifei's palace, she was afraid that she would be wronged, but she didn't expect Leng Guifei to get Qin Cairen out of the palace at all.
Her methods are really getting more and more sophisticated, and she also has the emperor's meaning!
After all, the child in her belly is the emperor's.
The emperor's heirs withered, and I am afraid that he will look at the child's face and spare her, but he is fortunate to be ......
"Niangniang, shall we go back to the palace?" A personal palace maid stepped forward and supported the concubine.
Concubine Shu has just given birth for only half a month, and she is not easy to get tired.
"Then let's go back to the palace! We don't have to bother. ”
Qin Jieyu, Luo Cairen and Zhang Guiren still live in their original palaces, because the concubines are scarce, and the internal affairs office is easy to take care of, and within a few days, the palace has returned to its former prosperity.
The palace has added new palace people and eunuchs, and many of the former ones have been released outside the palace, and even the aunt-level palace maids have gone a lot, especially the palace people in the queen mother's palace, except for the personal ones, the rest have been replaced with new ones.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.
There are more and more new palace people, and there are fewer and fewer people in the palace in the past, no one mentions the old incident, and few people know that there is a Qin Cairen, and the palace is gradually forgotten, except for the eunuch who cleans in the early morning, passing by occasionally, muttering: "This palace is so strange, why doesn't anyone come out." ”
The palace man next to him reminded: "This may be the cold palace, haven't you seen the emperor's seal?" Maybe the people inside are dead. ”
At this point, Concubine Shu never forgot to let her palace people send some food and clothing to the palace every month, and even Luo Ziyan gave a share to the people in the palace from her limited share.
After two months of purging, the first emperor had mastered the government as before, or was more mature and ruthless than before, and all ministers who did not obey him were killed.
The little eunuch in the imperial study stood for a whole morning, shaking his head a little sleepily, but he didn't dare to overcome, his eyes couldn't stop blinking, and he was about to fall.
Someone gently helped the little eunuch, and the little eunuch was stunned, but saw a pair of gentle eyes, it was King Ling.
Now, the emperor's favorite jade brother is him, and he often goes into the palace to accompany the emperor to play chess and drink tea.
"Say hello to King Ling." The little eunuch was terrified, afraid that King Ling would punish him.
King Ling waved his hand, "Excuse me!" Go down! I have something to say to the royal brother. ”
The little eunuch was granted amnesty and hurriedly withdrew.
