Chapter 087: Fighting in the Dark

said that Liu Muzhi's sister Liu Yizhi has been a smart and knowledgeable person since she was a child. When he was fourteen years old, he entered the palace, fought hard among those many beauties, and walked on thin ice step by step to get to where he is today. Although the emperor has been favored for so many years, she knows in her heart that all this is something she has worked hard to earn. The emperor's mind is like a floating cloud, the most unpredictable. Today is prosperous and rich, and tomorrow may become a prisoner. Rather than counting on this ethereal thing, it is better to hold on to the most reliable thing - power. As long as her son can become the master of the East Palace, and then become the lord of the world, she can be the mother of the world and become the most powerful woman in this harem and even in the whole world.

Liu Yizhi's ambition is not wishful thinking, she has the capital to dream of all this. Because since the death of the queen, except for the queen mother, she has the highest position in this harem. And now among the emperor's four sons, her fourth is the most favored by the emperor. The eldest and second are mediocre, and the biological mother is from an ordinary background, which is not enough to pose a threat at all. Only the son of the deceased queen, Lao Sansheng Xuanyuan, is the thorn in her side and the thorn in her flesh in the past two years. In the early years, I couldn't see it, but I felt that this child was cold and gloomy by nature, and she was the least treated by the emperor, so she didn't take this child seriously. But now, even she can't see the emperor's attitude clearly.

In the past two years, the emperor has sent a lot of errands to the third child. Although it was all drudgery, she could see that these things were the most important thing to train people's abilities and minds. For the errand delivered by the emperor, the third child also did everything very properly, but the emperor never praised it, but just kept picking out thorns from it.

Not only her, but even the ministers in the court looked at the relationship between the emperor and the third child, and they were as confused as seeing flowers in the fog. Fortunately, the emperor's favor for the fourth child is still the same as always, which makes Liu Yizhi very relieved. Not only her, but others are also aware of this, so Huaning Palace, where she lives, is still the most lively place in the harem.

On this day, two more guests were welcomed in Huaning Palace. One of them is a frequent visitor here, titled Concubine Liang. This good concubine originally entered the palace with Concubine Chen, and she has only had one princess for so many years, so she is naturally a little worse than others. But Concubine Liang's maiden family has always been very close to the Liu family, so she was able to get in touch with Concubine Chen. The other is the newly promoted Dong Guiren. This Dong nobleman is the pearl of Dong Mingguang, the head of the household, named Dong Shuyi, born is a thousand charming, colorful, as soon as he entered the palace, he was deeply loved by the emperor, and recently stayed in her Shujing Palace for three consecutive days, and the limelight was comparable to the situation when Concubine Chen first entered the palace.

How could Concubine Chen be a good person who could tolerate a little nobleman making such waves under her nose? Apparently not. She only regretted that she failed to get rid of this fox at the time of the draft, so that she would never see the emperor for the rest of her life, and there would be no such things as today.

Regret is regret, and what should be faced is still to be faced. The reason why Concubine Chen was able to climb to today's position is also because she has always dared to think and do. If there is a roadblock in front of her, she will remove it by all means. Therefore, she sent someone to Shujing Palace to call Dong Guiren over, planning to train her well and let her know that there were still people in this harem. lest this fox make the emperor spoil lawlessness, it will be difficult to clean up.

So a new man, two old people, just sat together.

Not long after entering the palace, the little palace maids, looking at these three people, only felt that they were like sisters who had not seen each other for many years, intimate and chatting and laughing. The grandmothers who are accustomed to the battle in the harem can suddenly hear the sarcasm after the soft words, and they can see through the cold blade in the smiling eyes at a glance.

I only heard Concubine Naliang say with a smile: "I think back then, when we first entered the palace, we were also my sister's flower-like age. It's a pity that this Shaohua is like driving, and it is easy to grow old. Now sitting alone with my sister is so delicate, and we are already old. ”

Dong Guiren hurriedly said: "Sister, don't laugh at Shuyi." The appearance of the two of you is a rare national color and fragrance, where can I compare with a mortal woman like me. I remember seeing the appearance of the two ladies when I first entered the palace, which made us all the beautiful girls envious and sighed to ourselves. Even now, sitting in front of the two sisters, Shuyu is also ashamed of herself. ”

Concubine Liang saw that this Dong nobleman spoke and behaved gently and modestly, bowed his head everywhere, and was still a sensible person, so the displeasure in her heart was much less, and she turned her head to look at Concubine Chen.

Concubine Chen had the heart to stab her again to see if she was born gentle and generous, or if she was too scheming and calculating. So she said again: "Sister, since you call me sister, then sister, as a person who has come over, I have to mention you a word or two." ”

The Dong nobleman hurriedly said, "Sister, please speak." ”

I only heard Concubine Nachen say slowly: "Although the emperor is now in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period and is strong and strong, he is the king of a country after all, and he has worked very hard every day. We have to look at it a little, after all, the emperor's body is the most important. ”

Dong Guiren's face burned hotly all of a sudden, which clearly meant that she had no eyes and no shame. But she is not a simple character, otherwise she would not have passed the draft under the nose of Concubine Chen. I saw that she quickly stabilized her mind, her eyes lowered, and she said with a well-behaved and obedient look: "What my sister said is that my sister should keep it in mind." Besides, my sister is just a little nobleman, with a humble position, where can she dare to disturb the emperor. ”

The change in her expression at that moment could not hide Concubine Chen's eyes, but the words that came out of her mouth were still humble. Concubine Chen couldn't help but sneer secretly in her heart, she was really scheming, but if she wanted to fight her, she was still a little too tender. Although she thought so, she smiled slightly, as if she was very satisfied with the answer of the noble Dong.

Concubine Liang's mind was still far worse than these two, she only thought that Dong Guiren had passed Concubine Chen's test, so she began to enthusiastically talk about other topics. I only heard her say: "The day before yesterday, I went to the Queen Mother's palace to say goodbye, and I happened to bump into our four princes." Oh, after a few days, this child has grown a lot taller! That look, that figure, it's really likable! ”

As soon as she talked about her son Sheng Xuanming, Concubine Chen was no different from an ordinary mother, with a gentle smile in her eyebrows and eyes.

I only heard that Dong Guiren also said: "Yesterday, the emperor also talked to Shu Yu about the arrival of the four princes. ”

Concubine Chen immediately turned her head to look at her, looking focused and eager, and asked, "What did the emperor say?" ”

"The emperor just read an article made by the fourth prince at that time, and greatly praised it, saying that his literary talent is getting better and better."

How could Concubine Liang miss such an opportunity to pat herself on the back, and hurriedly said with a smile: "This is all taught by Concubine Chen, plus this child is already smart, no wonder the emperor loves him the most." ”

At this time, Concubine Chen's heart was also very useful, and she was a little pleasing to the eye when she saw that Dong Guiren.

I only heard Dong Guiren continue: "The emperor also said that if the four princes continue at this pace, they will be able to catch up with the three princes' literary talents in another year or two." ”

Concubine Liang's face was about to bloom with a big smile, and when she heard this, the smile suddenly froze on her two faces, and she couldn't accept it, and she couldn't let it go.

Concubine Chen also chuckled in her heart when she heard this. Is the emperor saying that her fourth child is not as good as the third? Because he has never directly said which of these sons is superior or inferior, the deep meaning of this sentence is worthy of careful scrutiny.

Dong Guiren didn't seem to feel the changes in the two people in front of him at all, and still continued: "When Shu Ying was still at home, I heard that the third prince had started to run errands alone early on. You must know that knowledge and action have always been one, the three princes have more experience, and naturally write better. The four princes have no experience because they are young, but they can make such a colorful article, but it is even better! Shu Ying told the emperor about this truth, and he also smiled and said that it was reasonable! After that, he covered his mouth and laughed, and his eyes added a touch of charm.

Concubine Liang stretched out her smile with confidence and said, "My sister is reasonable. ”

Only Concubine Chen glanced at Dong Guiren with a smile, but did not say anything more.

After the two of them left, Gonggong Liu, who had been waiting outside for a long time, came in, and quietly handed over a letter after saying hello. As soon as Concubine Chen looked at the seal, she knew that it was a letter from her brother Liu Muzhi. So she quickly opened the letter and took a quick look at it, and when she saw it, she was angry.

Here, she just received a suffocating punch from that Dong nobleman, but her younger brother over there was still circling around the little girl in the Lin family. In her opinion, there is no need to spend so much energy on a little girl. Even if she has strange abilities, how much knowledge she can have in the boudoir, she can't set off any wind and waves at all. With this energy, it is better to use it to deal with the third child.

What Dong Guiren said just now naturally had her own intentions, but she didn't have the courage to fabricate the emperor's words. Although it was just an unintentional sentence from the emperor, it was enough to reflect that the balance in his heart had begun to tilt to that side. In addition, the third child has handled a few cases recently, and he has shown his face very much. If this continues to be consumed, the position of the prince will really have to be given away.

As for the two fathers and sons, as the most powerful supporters and right-hand men of the third child in the court, they really look very eye-catching. But to put it bluntly, they are just attached to the third child. Instead of wasting energy on the Lin family, it is better to use your brains on the third child. So Concubine Chen immediately replied to the letter and reprimanded her younger brother fiercely.
