After the New Year, the dynasty opened.

The first thing the emperor did was to push the Chengenhou Mansion to the vegetable market.

Kill them all one by one.

That Concubine Ye was also delayed, and it is said that Concubine Ye's screams surrounded the entire palace that day, and she could not disperse for a long time.

After a few more days, it's time for the Lantern Festival.

This year's Lantern Festival, but the emperor ordered not to do it.

Recently, the emperor has become famous, and no one dares to say anything.

Weiyang Palace.

"The emperor is like this, I'm afraid he just wants to have a Lantern Festival reunion with the imperial concubine alone." Concubine Lan was munching on melon seeds while talking boredly about pastime.

The queen glared at her, "Don't criticize the imperial concubine." ”

It's not that the queen is partial to the imperial concubine, it's really that the entire harem doesn't dare to criticize the imperial concubine now.

The reason is because a few days ago, one of the three beauties received by the emperor said that the imperial concubine was a red face and a curse, confusing the saint, no wonder her daughter would die, it was all retribution.

happened to be listened to by the emperor who dared to go to see the imperial concubine.

The emperor is fooled, even if he makes people slap his mouth a hundred times!

smashed the face of the beautiful woman alive, and the beauty was humiliated and committed suicide.

The emperor was furious again.

Okay, I just punished you, and you killed yourself? Don't you think I've wronged you?

Immediately, the emperor sent down the mother family of that beauty, and as soon as the official position was pushed to the end, go home and plant sweet potatoes.

And stipulates that anyone who dares to criticize the imperial concubine in the harem, whether it is the master or the palace maid, will all have a hundred slaps!

There is no difference between a hundred palms and mouths and a direct killing, and for a while, the entire harem is in a hurry, and everyone is in danger, and they dare not say a word more.

The entire harem ushered in unprecedented tranquility.

At the same time, the emperor asked the minister with a smile in the previous dynasty whether this year's draft should be held.

It stands to reason that this is the first year of the emperor's draft since he ascended the throne (last year, he was the first emperor to keep filial piety and could not be drafted), but the ministers were not very interested.

Especially the ministers who have school-age daughters in the family, they all bow their heads and dare not look at the emperor.

If it had been a year ago, they would have been positive.

Anyway, there is not only one daughter, marrying a daughter to the palace, even if you don't get the emperor's favor, it won't be too much of a loss.

But now it depends on the emperor's strength towards the imperial concubine, knowing that sending his daughter in is to keep him alive and widowed, and he can't get any actual benefits, who wants to send it?

Ministers who don't have daughters and who profess to be loyal to them think they should hold a draft.

After all, the emperor is the ninety-five, and there is one wife, two concubines and two girls in the harem.

How pathetic that is.

It's not good for them to be courtiers, and they don't have more concubines.

It's just that as soon as those ministers opened their mouths, some ministers from their families began to join them.

has been an official for so many years, who doesn't have something in his hands that can't be said to others.

The court couldn't be more lively.

The emperor took advantage of the fisherman's profits, got the pigtails of several unpleasant courtiers, and reprimanded a few words lightly, and the draft was decided before the ministers could react.

I don't choose it.

The queen also knew these things, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The emperor really likes the imperial concubine." ”

If I didn't really like it, I wouldn't have done it this far.

Later, many ministers reacted afterwards, and the emperor did it on purpose.

The reason why the emperor who criticized the imperial concubine before was severely punished, especially by pushing the official position of the mother family to the end, was afraid that it was to show them.

The purpose is to tell them.

Don't worry about sending your daughter to me, I'm not a master who will pity the jade, all my thoughts are given to the imperial concubine. I will also take your daughter's delivery, but if your daughter does something wrong, it will probably affect you.

Ministers: Nonsense!

If there is no interest, who would want to send their daughter to the palace?

Forming a marriage with other people's families has more or less beneficial benefits, and no matter who has more daughters, it is not such a wasteful method.

"Don't the queen think that even if the emperor liked the imperial concubine before, he is not as ...... as he is now Hmm, obviously? ”

Concubine Lan thought about the wording.

In the past, the emperor liked the imperial concubine, which was a little low-key, and sometimes there was no contradiction with the imperial concubine.

"The previous low-key was to protect the imperial concubine, but now that it is useless to change to low-key, it will be high-profile, and simply tell everyone that the imperial concubine is the person on the tip of his heart."

"I think that after the imperial concubine lost her daughter, the emperor felt even more sorry for the imperial concubine."

"Why didn't you give birth to the emperor's eldest son?"

The queen asked with interest.

Lan Guifei lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly: "The imperial concubine is really very smart, even if she has the emperor's sincere liking, she will not relax and will not give up any opportunities that can be used." ”

They are all smart people, and naturally they can understand what they are saying.

The queen nodded, "You're smart, but I want you to use it in the right place." ”

"Eldest sister, do you believe that the emperor will only like the imperial concubine as a woman for the rest of his life?"

Concubine Lan's mentality, after experiencing that once, has finally changed.

In the past, Lan Guifei was still complacent, outside of the imperial concubine, the emperor's favorite was her.

But when the child was gone, Lan Guifei looked at the emperor's different attitudes towards her and the imperial concubine, and Lan Guifei understood what it meant to be attentive.

"What do you want to say?" The queen didn't answer the question, but just glanced at Concubine Lan coldly, as if she had seen through all of Concubine Lan's thoughts.

Lan Guifei did not evade and faced it directly: "The eldest sister doesn't have a mind, I have it!" If the imperial concubine can do it, why can't I replace it? And I don't believe that the emperor can only love her imperial concubine once in ten years! ”

"Even if the emperor won't always love the imperial concubine, why do you think that the person who can replace the imperial concubine is you?"

The queen asked faintly.

Concubine Lan Guifei didn't think about it and said: "That must be me, except for the imperial concubine, the emperor's favorite in this harem is me." ”

Seeing the queen in a blink of an eye, Concubine Lan was shocked to realize that it was very inappropriate for her to speak like that just now, and hurriedly made up for it.

"Eldest sister, I didn't mean that, I just think, um......"

"You don't have to explain, I know what you mean." The queen never cared who the emperor's heart was, because no matter who it was, the queen was hers.

It's just that......

Concubine Lan's mind is now a little dangerous.

"Let me ask you, how many people are in the harem now?"

"Five, what's wrong?"

Queen, "Then why are there only five people in the harem?" ”

In all dynasties, the emperor's harem can be regarded as the most shabby.

Concubine Lan gradually understood what the queen meant......
