Imperial Palace, inside the Splendid Pavilion.

Qin Concubine was playing chess with the emperor, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, as if she had endless sadness, but she covered up most of it, and her body was also reduced a lot, and her goose egg face was thinned into melon seed noodles, which was quite a bit of Yangzhou skinny horse.

was pregnant with a dragon heir, but after the queen mother's birthday, she was recruited and almost lost her life.

Although Qin Concubine was lucky not to die, she was fundamentally injured and could no longer have children, and the emperor promoted her to Qin Concubine in order to compensate her, and still lived in Jinxiu Xuan.

Probably because Qin Concubine lost the capital to fight with others, and the concubines in the harem no longer embarrassed her.

"No, the concubine is not the emperor's opponent at all, and the emperor doesn't say let the concubine." Qin Concubine threw down the chess pieces, and her face was depressed.

"Haha, let you learn more to play chess, but you are such a beautiful person, you have no talent for chess, and you like to play chess with me, so I want to let you." The emperor was in an excellent mood.

As the Son of Heaven, the Emperor likes to feel like he is in control.

But the concubines in the harem have all been practicing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, and none of them deliberately lost without a trace, and they flattered the emperor, which made the emperor very uninterested.

As for those ministers, who would dare to play against the emperor?

There was only one Helian Sheng, who killed the emperor every time he played chess, leaving him extremely depressed.

Only Qin Concubine is here, the more she loses, the more she wants to play, and she still has tricks.

However, the emperor ate this set, and felt that Qin Concubine did not regard him as an emperor, but sincerely liked him, so he would be so unpretentious, which was also one of the reasons why Qin Concubine was favored.

"The emperor wants to say that the concubine is a stinky chess basket, and there is no need to beat around the bush like this, can't the concubine afford to lose?" Qin Concubine said the atmosphere in her mouth, but she messed up the chessboard casually, obviously she was unhappy to lose.

The emperor laughed, took Concubine Qin's hand and said, "Don't be angry, next time I let you win, okay?" ”

"The emperor's golden mouth is jade, but if you can't speak, it doesn't count." Qin Concubine immediately showed a smiling face, and when she saw the emperor smiling and teasing, she hurriedly added: "But the emperor can't let it be too obvious, otherwise it will be boring for the concubine to win." ”

"Okay, yes, I promise you." The emperor said good-naturedly.

"The concubine has been learning to make pastries these days, but she has made a small achievement, can the emperor try it?" Qin Concubine suddenly changed the topic.

"Concubine Ai's health is not good, you don't have to worry about me in the future, just take care of it." The Emperor said with pity.

Concubine Qin's face stiffened, and she smiled bitterly: "The concubine's body is broken, and she can't give birth to a dragon heir for the emperor in this life, if she can't do anything for the emperor again, concubine."

I don't know what it means to be alive, so the emperor will fulfill the concubine's heart. ”

"Okay, what are you talking about?" The pity in the emperor's eyes was even stronger, and the hand holding Qin Concubine tightened, "I have a lot of princes and princesses, as long as you stay by my side, you don't have to think about these unhappy things anymore." ”

"Every woman wants to give birth to an heir for the man in her heart, and the concubine is ignorant, and she also has such thoughts. It's a pity that ......" Qin Concubine wiped her tears from the side, revealing her white neck, which made people want to leave traces on it.

Although the emperor's age is not as good as that of a strong man, he attaches great importance to health preservation, and naturally has good energy, so he suddenly has an impulse.

"It's the concubine's fault, you shouldn't have said these words to annoy the emperor." Concubine Qin stood up, picked up a piece of dim sum and came to the emperor's side, and said softly: "The emperor still tastes the dim sum, the concubine has been doing it for more than an hour." ”

"Well, it's delicious." The emperor gave a very face-saving compliment, and when he saw that Concubine Qin's eyes were still red, he said: "I originally wanted to surprise you in the New Year, but now I think it would be good to tell Concubine Ai earlier." ”

"Surprise?" Concubine Qin asked expectantly, "What rare things did the emperor get?" Hurry up and show the concubine, the concubine is very boring these days, and she is looking for something to pass the time. ”

"Does Concubine Ai think I have less time to spend with you?" The emperor asked rhetorically, with a light smile on his face, making it impossible to see his true thoughts.

Concubine Qin shook her head in frustration and said, "The emperor treats his concubines well, and the concubines don't want to express it in words." In this harem, I don't know how many sisters envy it, how can the concubines not be satisfied? But the emperor is the king of a country, so he naturally has to put more attention on the previous dynasty. The concubines did not have good sisters in the palace, in addition to practicing singing and dancing and calligraphy every day, they also learned cooking, and they only hoped to use their own way to make the emperor have more fun. Can ......"

Speaking of this, Concubine Qin paused for a moment before continuing: "The concubine's health is not good, so it is a little difficult to do these things, and more time is to sit in the Jinxiu Xuan in a daze, which is really boring and tight." ”

"You don't have a good sister?" The Emperor frowned.

The emperor didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the harem, but he also knew who was closer to whom.

Hearing Qin Concubine say this, the emperor felt that it was really like this, and Qin Concubine really didn't have any people to confide into.

It's just that the emperor forgot that even if the concubines in the harem are good, they are driven by interests, and they are more linked to the relationship between the previous dynasty, how can any concubines really have a heart-to-heart?

"The queen treats the concubines very well, but the queen is the lord of the six palaces, and the concubines are not good at crossing the rules to disturb. There are also a few sisters who can speak, but the concubine has a body and bones, and she feels tired when she goes to the imperial garden, and after a long time, her feelings will be weak. Concubine Qin said, sat beside the emperor, pillowed the emperor's arm and said, "Fortunately, the emperor has a concubine in his heart, otherwise the concubine really doesn't know how long it will last." ”

The emperor raised his eyebrows, not knowing whether he was thinking about the truth in Qin Concubine's words, or thinking about something else, but he didn't say anything for a while.

After a while, Concubine Qin asked, "Didn't the emperor say that he wanted to surprise his concubines?" Don't you plan to reward your concubines? ”

Looking at Concubine Qin's moist eyes, the emperor chuckled and said, "This surprise is really not for you. ”

Concubine Qin was puzzled, but she didn't speak.

"I think the wine sent by your father is good, and I plan to make your father an imperial merchant, so that the Qin family is no longer an ordinary merchant, and if you find a suitable opportunity, I can also give you another mention of the subdivision." The emperor said with a smile: "And your father also has a chance to enter the palace, and you can also arrange for you to meet with your family at that time." ”

"Really?" Concubine Qin was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed, "The concubine thanked the emperor for his grace on behalf of her father." ”

Qin Concubine did not pretend to excuse herself, but looked at the emperor with her talking eyes full of admiration, which made the emperor's heart feel ironed.

The beauty smiled, what is the point of appreciating an imperial businessman?

On the side of Jinxiuxuan, tonight is destined to be a lingering night, the Qin family has gained great benefits, and the Qin concubine will also get the full support of the family, so how can she not work hard to serve?

Without the imperial heir, if she can't benefit the family, Concubine Qin will no longer be able to get the support of the family, and no one knows how she died in the harem at that time.

Inside the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother, who has always been indisputable with the world, after coming out of the Buddhist hall, waved back left and right, leaving only her confidant Jinde Mama.

Once because of her friendship with Duanyu Guifei, the Queen Mother was canonized as Concubine De, and Mama Jinde beside her was also named by the first emperor at that time.

can get this honor, Mama Jinde has a very high status in the palace, and it also makes the queen mother have a long face.

But both the master and servant knew that the first emperor was beating them, telling them to remember why they had this honor, and they couldn't forget the kindness of the noble concubine in this life.

"Emperor and Empress, but there is another move?" The Queen Mother asked tiredly.

Because of her own indisputability, the mother-son relationship between her and the emperor is also very weak, and the queen mother knows it clearly.

But the Queen Mother lives too clearly, so she won't fight for anything, otherwise where would their mother and son have today's glory?

I'm afraid that my life will not be guaranteed.

Even now, the Queen Mother did not dare to have the slightest disrespect for Concubine Duangui, because she knew very well what would happen after opposing the mother and son of Rui Wangfu.

It's a pity that the son can't help it, especially after the emperor sits on the dragon chair, this thought is also greater, and the queen mother can't dissuade it at all.

The Queen Mother didn't know that the emperor had attacked Heliansheng, and she had been terrified all these years, even if she forced Heliansheng to be anxious one day, the fate of their mother and son would be worse than those who lost power when the emperor was alive.

"The emperor's methods, master, you know, have lost too many people, and they have been much more restrained these days." In front of the Queen Mother, Mama Jinde did not lie when she spoke.

After serving the Queen Mother for decades, she knows the Queen Mother's hard work best, and she also understands that Rui Wangfu is an existence that cannot be provoked.

It's just that the Queen Mother can't dissuade her, and Mama Jinde is even more helpless.

"The queen mother has always been in contact with the abolished prince, and it is estimated that there will be a big move." Speaking of this, Mama Jinde couldn't help frowning.

If the queen can settle down, this harem will not change hands.

If the queen doesn't give up, the harem will change hands at that time, and it will be a sensation at most.

But once the emperor also has such a plan, it will be difficult for the court to be stable, and the person who Prince Rui wants to step on, how can he give the abolished prince a chance to turn over?

Not to mention that with the support of King Rui, even the princes can't sit still.

Hearing this, the Queen Mother sighed and said: "Send the Buddhist scripture that the mourning family just copied to the queen, if she is still obsessed, the mourning family will not be able to help her." ”

"Yes." Mama Jinde received the order.

"Concubine Duangui has been sick for a few days, you go to the treasury to pick up some things, and tomorrow I will go to the Rui Wangfu to greet the mourning family." The Queen Mother was even more worried.

Concubine Duangui is only a little ill, but I'm afraid that she is really sick, in case she moves such a mind, the emperor is afraid that he will not even be prepared, so he will abdicate and make way for Xian.

And the emperor who was forced to abdicate, where is there any possibility of survival?

Not only the emperor, but also those princes and princesses, who can get out of the way?

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother had an even worse headache.

"In addition, you let people go to the imperial mausoleum again and give the abolished prince a warning, which can be regarded as a complete love between the mourning family and his ancestors and grandchildren." The Queen Mother's words were weak.

Being in the royal family, I want to fight for that position.

The abolished prince used to be under one person, but now he will not be reconciled, there is a queen tossing in the capital, how can he stop?

"Master, why don't you ......" Mama Jinde said halfway, and felt that it was inappropriate, so she stopped the conversation.

The Queen Mother glanced at Mama Jinde, and knew what she was going to say, but she smiled bitterly: "You don't want to get rid of the queen when you mourn?" King Kerui didn't move her, and Concubine Duangui seemed to be quite interested in the queen, and if the mourning family made the first move, they were afraid that they would be unhappy. ”

The Queen Mother closed her eyes helplessly.

What about being the queen mother?

As long as there is a noble concubine mother and son in this world, she is just a puppet, no matter whether the first emperor is alive or not, nothing has changed.

Mama Jinde looked at her master distressedly, and finally could only sigh silently.

Sometimes it's not a sin to live too clearly.
