In Ci'an Palace, after the Empress Dowager Liu read the emperor's will, she was proud in her heart, and she only served the flowers and plants leisurely, and the old Chen on the side was also happy: "Your Majesty is now wantonly deposing the people in Guanzhong and promoting the important ministers of Guanxi, and Lord Qi Wei is now back to the position of Zuo Xiang." Congratulations to the Queen Mother! ”

Empress Dowager Liu nodded and said: "When the first emperor died, I was left alone, but I quietly changed the party. Is...... Fortunately, it has been less than half a year now, and it is also in place! Otherwise, an old minister like Kansai doesn't know how much he cares! ”

Old Chen lowered his head: "The Queen Mother, you can enjoy it now." Your Majesty will be filial to the Queen Mother. ”

The Queen Mother took a pot of Yao Huang chrysanthemums in the house. It was a newly cultivated species in the flower house this year, and it was an extremely precious chrysanthemum that ordinary people could not see. The Queen Mother looked at the chrysanthemum, the large golden yellow with heavy petals was bright and fragrant, as long as she looked at it, she would be intoxicated. The Queen Mother is extremely satisfied, this flower is the most noble in the palace today, just as she is now in the palace and is even more powerful.

It's just that in the midst of pleasure, there is always dissatisfaction, and when I think of this, I hate and say: "The old woman of the Empress Dowager is still pressing the palace everywhere. It's really not enough......"

Chen Lao didn't know how to answer the Queen Mother's words, she knew the Queen Mother's temperament best, how she couldn't change it, and after thinking about it, she had to respond and say: "Niangniang, after all, you are Your Majesty's biological mother, and now the court and the Central Committee are all Kansai Party." The Empress Dowager didn't dare to do anything to you. ”

The Queen Mother thought about it, and then smiled happily: "This is it!" In the past, the queen mother was in power, and the old woman of the empress dowager was proud of that, and the mourning family was upset when she saw it. This time......" The Queen Mother seemed to have thought of something, and said proudly: "Look what heart that old woman still has to show off her power in this palace!" ”

Let's say that since the emperor's order came down, there has been an uproar in the harem, especially for Concubine Li Shiwei. Shiwei was originally dissatisfied because she was only a concubine from the second rank, and she originally felt that her own qualifications could be awarded the concubine position of the first rank, at least she was also a noble concubine.

That's it, this rebellion incident taught Concubine Rong to be completely angry and scared. The angry thing is that so soon, the Qi noble concubine was promoted to a concubine, and the entire palace quickly respected that concubine Qi Sheng Xuan. What I am afraid of is that this rebellion was initiated by the people of Guanzhong, although they are only radical courtiers, but after all, they are all people in Guanzhong, and Concubine Rong is naturally afraid that she will be implicated.

She thought about it, so she had to ask to see the Queen Mother, after all, the Queen Mother also belonged to the Guanzhong people, and she would come to say something for herself. But who knew that when Concubine Rong went to Wanshou Palace to ask to see the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager only said: "Now that the court is like this, the mourning family has to be cautious in words and deeds!" The mourning family is not His Majesty's own great-grandmother, you beg the mourning family, and the mourning family can't speak. But your own grace is grand, and it shouldn't be a big deal to think about it, so don't worry. ”

In this way, even the Empress Dowager didn't dare to care, and Concubine Rong was even more flustered.

If it's just like this, it's okay, what makes Concubine Rong even more panicked is the news from the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace, saying that the Empress Dowager ordered that the Guanzhong party rebelled, and the palace would not allow any Guanzhong palace maids who served the emperor, so all the palace maids from Guanzhong should be expelled from the palace to ensure the safety of the emperor in the palace.

After Liwen said this, Concubine Rong couldn't support her demeanor and sat down straight, and said in a panic: "Is the Queen Mother like this?" If you expel the woman in Guanzhong, then the palace ......"

Liwen only comforted: "Niangniang, although you were born in Guanzhong, but Lord Shoufu is very loyal, and she is the Queen Mother, and I can't touch you if I want to, so you can rest assured." ”

Before Concubine Rong could speak, another maid Qian Yi hurriedly ran over and reported to Concubine Rong: "Niangniang, the slave maid just heard that the Queen Mother gave an order, saying that she was going to expel Zhang Xuan's servant from the palace of the Longevity Palace!" ”

Concubine Rong was stunned for a moment, and her stunning appearance was immediately dyed with a faint layer of sorrow due to panic, "The Zhang family is not from Guanzhong, but it was recommended by the Empress Dowager, so she will be expelled from the palace?" That ......"

Liwen was the first to react and said, "Niangniang, Zhang Xuanzhi is His Majesty's concubine!" If you have to be expelled from the palace like this, then you are afraid of the next ...... It's Mrs. Zhu and you! ”

Concubine Rong thought of this, her body felt paralyzed and unable to lift her strength, she clenched her fists, and let her long shallot-like nails dig into her flesh, bringing an extremely stinging sensation. It's like being on a cliff, just slipping under your feet, and you'll be in the abyss.

After a long time, Concubine Rong slowly spoke: "No, no plan, if the Queen Mother expells the Zhang family from the palace, then I and Zhenyun are afraid that we will be the next to be driven away." Although I am angry that the Zhang family made me lose the right to steward in the first place, I must see the seriousness. ”

After saying that, Concubine Rong supported her body, walked out, and said, "Your Majesty, what about Your Majesty?" ”

Only then did Liwen react: "Niangniang, Your Majesty, Your Majesty went to the Ganquan Temple outside the city to pray for blessings today!" ”

The more Concubine Rong thought about it, the more she felt panicked, and she only said that it was not good in her heart, but she was unwilling to be controlled like this, so she called Sanshun, who served in her palace, to go out of the palace to deliver the news to Li Chun with her waist card. However, it must be extremely slow, she thought about it, and continued to walk out, and said: "Then I will go to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager wants to be cautious in her words and deeds, but she will definitely not allow the Empress Dowager to ride on her." With that, Concubine Rong hurriedly went to Wanshou Palace.

When Qingyi was carried outside the Gyeongbok Gate by a group of female officials, the Queen Mother Liu was already waiting there. Qingyi saw the Queen Mother, so she unconsciously asked, "Why is this the Queen Mother?" But I don't know what crime the concubine has committed, and you want to expel the concubine from the palace? ”

The Empress Dowager Liu only swept her gaze lightly on Qingyi, fiddled with the armor in her hands with both hands, and said softly: "It's still thoughtful, but it's a pity!" Today, the mourning family is not looking at the appearance, you just go out! ”

"The Queen Mother, the concubine is a concubine who serves His Majesty, and the concubine doesn't know what crime she has committed, so she will be expelled from the palace! Even if you don't like the concubines, you have to get the consent of Your Majesty! ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "You still have the courage to shout with the mourning family here, the mourning family is the queen mother, and it is Your Majesty's mother, so you can naturally call the shots about this matter!" ”

Qingyi could naturally hear the difference between the things and the consequences, she knew the consequences if she was expelled from the palace, so she became more and more ruthless and struggled with the queen mother, and said: "The queen mother, although you are the queen mother of Your Majesty, but the harem is managed by the queen mother, and you are the assistant of the concubine Niangniang, you should be in the palace to recuperate." If the concubine has any faults, you can tell the queen and the concubine to deal with it! You don't have to work your own. ”

The Queen Mother's face was already extremely angry, and she said, "What are you?" You're just a from a thief in Guanzhong! The mourning family disposed of you for the sake of His Majesty's dragon body and for the sake of the country, why bother to ask the queen for her consent? Besides, the queen is just a junior, and she has to listen to the mourning family! ”

After that, the Queen Mother looked at the palace maids and officials around her, and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze?" Why don't you hurry up and drive this lowly maid who was born a traitor out of the palace? ”

"Elders? Queen Mother, you are still a junior of the mourning family! The voice of the Empress Dowager came, which attracted everyone's attention.

The anger on the face of the Queen Mother was even worse than that of the Queen Mother, and she didn't wait for the Queen Mother to salute, she slapped the Queen Mother and said, "Are you no longer in mourning?" So presumptuous! ”

The Queen Mother was suddenly beaten by the Queen Mother, and she was already stunned: "What is the Imperial Grandmother doing?" The concubine is also the queen mother, the emperor's queen mother! ”

The Empress Dowager was not afraid of the Empress Dowager's crazy tone at all, and only hated it: "It is precisely because you are Your Majesty's mother that you are so ignorant of etiquette and mourning that I want to beat you and tell you what the etiquette and dignity that the Queen Mother should have!" ”

The Queen Mother was beaten by the Queen Mother, and she had already accumulated anger in her heart, and now after being reprimanded by the Queen Mother in front of all the palace people, she felt even more ashamed and angry, and her tone was much more disrespectful, and said: "What does the Imperial Grandmother mean by this?" It was precisely because the concubine knew that the Queen Mother should protect His Majesty that she thought about expelling this demon girl from the palace! ”

The Empress Dowager was greeted with another slap: "Are you expelling more than just one person?" Most of the palace maids from Guanzhong have already been expelled by you! Do you want all the maids in this half of the palace to leave? Are you going to leave your majesty unserved? ”

The Queen Mother looked at the Queen Mother, and her mouth was even more arrogant: "The imperial grandmother, the concubines were driven out of the palace, but they were all palace people who were born as rebels in Guanzhong. The concubines are like this, but they are all for the sake of Your Majesty's safety, do you want these sinners to serve Your Majesty in the palace? Or is it that the Empress Dowager is not His Majesty's own great-grandmother, so you do not care about Your Majesty's safety, but sympathize with the traitor who was also born in Guanzhong? ”

The Empress Dowager was trembling by the Empress Dowager's words, and almost fell to the ground, but she was still supported by the palace maid beside her, and said to the Empress Dowager who became more and more unkind: "Okay, you are the Queen Mother, are you doing such a bad thing because you gave birth to a good son?" ”

The Queen Mother lowered her head slightly, made a deferential look, and said with a shallow smile on her face: "Grandmother Huang, the concubine also wants to manage one or two for the queen because she is now pregnant and can't manage the affairs of the six palaces." It's just for the sake of the harem being quiet! ”

"The queen mother, the concubines don't dare to work the queen mother! The affairs of the harem should have been managed by the concubines! But it was the queen who came in a hurry with a big belly.
