Inside the Imperial Study.

The emperor is reading a book.

The little father-in-law stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the queen is here." ”

"Let her in."

The little father-in-law stepped back.

Soon, the queen came in.

The emperor flipped through the page of the book and glanced at the queen, "The palace banquet is over?" ”

"Break up," the queen said.

The emperor frowned.

The queen sighed and said, "In order to please the emperor, Concubine Li Guifei asked Mrs. Wucheng Marquis to take the lead in donating in the name of the palace banquet, and those ministers' wives can only donate." ”

"In the court before, the Marquis of Dongxiang has taken the lead in asking hundreds of officials to donate once, and when the concubine comes here, those ministers and wives have opinions."

"The concubine has lost the phoenix seal, and it doesn't work to speak, but Concubine Li's move is undoubtedly only forcing those ministers to be greedy for ink."

The money given by the imperial court is only enough for the ministers to support their families, and they cannot be given fine clothes and food.

As soon as there is a natural or man-made disaster, they are asked to donate, and if it is not enough to donate once, they will have to donate again.

I have no money to donate, for fear of upsetting the emperor and damaging my career.

In order to have money to make the emperor happy, he could only accept bribes and be greedy.

In order to curry favor with the emperor, Concubine Li Guifei ignored the lives of hundreds of officials, which was really inappropriate.

Moreover, the jewelry worn on the heads of those ministers' wives is worth a few dollars, so it is really inappropriate to chill the hearts of those ministers.

The queen offered to return the donated jewelry.

The news of the queen's visit to the imperial study reached Li Guifei's ears, and Li Guifei was worried that the queen would stumble on her, so she hurried over.

The father-in-law stopped Li Guifei to enter the imperial study to make a report, but was pushed away by Li Guifei.

Li Guifei stepped in, just when she heard what the queen said, Li Guifei didn't almost pout.

After exhaling several deep breaths, she suppressed the anger that surged into her chest, she looked at the queen and said, "Sister is inevitably too good at buying people's hearts!" ”

The queen didn't expect Concubine Li to come, she said, "Why do you tell me to buy people's hearts?" ”

"Isn't it?" Li Guifei said coldly.

She stepped forward to greet the emperor, and then said, "Your Majesty, the concubine's brother and sister-in-law, Mrs. Wu Anhou, proposed to donate, but before the concubines could react to what was going on, the queen had already taken off the jade bracelet on her wrist and said that it was donated to those poor people." ”

"At the banquet, she was full of praise for the donation, and when she came to the emperor, it was inappropriate, and it was inappropriate to chill the hearts of those ministers.

The emperor looked at the queen.

Concubine Li Guifei dared to accuse the queen of inconsistencies in person, which shows that what she said is true and justified.

The queen panicked for a moment, and then said, "The concubine wants those noble ladies to donate, and the concubines don't help, and outsiders should say that our imperial concubine is not compatible." ”

"It's not good for the concubines to see the face of the concubines, but these donations are given back by the emperor, and it also seems that the emperor thinks about the courtiers, which is not contradictory."

A good one is not a contradiction!

Concubine Li Guifei wants to bite the queen to death.

This is the bad guy who asked her to be the one who offended those noble ladies, and then she came to convince the emperor and return the jewelry, showing that she was thoughtful and thoughtful!

She just wanted to use this to tell the emperor that she was the queen, and she would not make such a mistake if she was in charge of the phoenix seal!

However, Li Guifei is not easy to mess with, she can fight with the queen for so many years, and she can still be in the position of a concubine, which is evident.

After a while, a little maid came in from outside, leaning into Li Guifei's ear and muttering a few words.

Li Guifei said coldly, "Give me a cane directly!" ”

Because of her anger, Li Guifei spoke a little loudly.

Not only the queen, but the emperor also heard it.

The emperor asked, "What's wrong?" ”

What Li Guifei wanted was for the emperor to ask, she looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is in charge of the phoenix seal and manages the harem instead of the queen, what has happened for so long?" ”

"The concubine thought about asking those ministers' wives to raise donations, but before the concubines had time to arrange it, the Marquis of Dongxiang took the lead in donating to the court, and the concubines dispelled this idea."

"Today's banquet for those ministers' wives was set before, and there was no intention of fundraising, it was a cheap maid in the concubine's palace who sent a message to the concubine's brother and sister-in-law, asking her to take the lead in fundraising ......."

Li Guifei said the things that were calculated by the people with a look of grievance, and then said, "After the concubine returned to the palace, she let people arrest the cheap maid, she actually recognized that it was the queen who instructed her, and the concubine thought that the queen was so active towards the concubine, otherwise only with Mrs. Wucheng Hou, how could so many ministers and wives be donated?" ”

"The concubine was angry, so she let the cheap maid hang up, and the cheap maid was wronged, saying that it was the queen who instructed her, and if there was half a lie, she would not die well."

didn't tell the queen, Concubine Li felt uncomfortable.

can sue directly, and the queen will bite back.

So Concubine Li Guifei chose to face the queen openly and secretly sue her fiercely.

The queen can't say anything yet, after all, no matter how the palace maid swears, Concubine Li Guifei didn't believe it.

The queen gritted her teeth and said, "Thanks to the concubine's sister for trusting me." ”

Li Guifei smiled and said, "In the future, if my sister is not good enough, I will ask my sister to point it out directly, and the donations will be collected, and then I will oppose it back, my sister feels that she is taking care of the overall situation, and others don't understand the deep meaning of my sister's doing, so I only think my sister is a villain who stabs her in the back." ”

The queen's face was faintly blue.

The emperor sat there and watched Li Guifei and the queen arguing with each other, and his heart was like a mirror.

But knowing that it was useless, Concubine Li Guifei was put on the spot by the queen, and she didn't dare to file a complaint openly, so it can be seen that there is no evidence.

Without evidence, the emperor can't help her.

The emperor looked at the queen and said, "Although I let Li Guifei take charge of the phoenix seal and the harem instead of you, you are still the queen, what Li Guifei did wrong, you should point it out directly, instead of conniving at her mistakes, since those jewelry have been fundraised, they will not be returned, so they should all be withdrawn." ”

The queen and Concubine Li retreated together.

Out of the imperial study, Concubine Li Guifei was too lazy to say more to the queen, so she took the palace maid's hand and left.

But Li Guifei didn't do nothing.

There is nothing to hide in the palace, and a gust of wind can blow to all corners.

"Niangniang, don't be angry," the palace maid persuaded.

"How can I not be angry?!" Li Guifei gritted her teeth and said.

"She gave me a trick to offend so many ministers' wives with the Marquis of Wucheng, and she went to persuade the emperor to return the jewelry to please those noble ladies!"

"It's a shame that the emperor didn't listen to her, otherwise the palace would not have to be angry to death!"

Li Guifei scolded as she walked.

Soon, the word spread.

In order to get the news from the palace in time, those ministers bought the palace people to make eyeliner.

These words came out of the palace again.

Those who went to the palace and put in a lot of jewelry and were in pain with the noble ladies and ladies were angry.

Concubine Li and the queen fought, and they became victims.

They also wondered how Concubine Li was so stupid that she did not hesitate to offend them in order to please the emperor.

Even if the emperor favored her, without the support of the ministers, the emperor would not have made the third prince the crown prince, but I didn't expect it to be the queen who was making trouble behind her back.
