When Sheng Zong came in, he held a bright yellow scroll in his hand, and at a glance, he knew that it was the emperor's holy decree, but what was written in it had to wait for Sheng Zong to read it.

Xie Fanghua and Qingzhi bowed their heads slightly and knelt on the ground, Sheng Zong glanced at them and began to read: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Xie Zhaoyi, gentle and virtuous, abide by his own duties, and specially promote Zhaoyi as a concubine, admire this——"

Xie Fanghua was stunned for a moment after hearing this, Qingzhi had already stood up, and when she came back to her senses, Qingzhi had already reached out and was ready to help her.

"Thank you, father-in-law." Xie Fanghua smiled slightly and asked Qingzhi to go and get the holy decree. While Qingzhi received the holy decree, he also quietly stuffed Sheng Zong's money bag, and Sheng Zong put it into his sleeve without weighing it, with a smile on his face.

Xie Zhaoyi has always been generous, and the money she gives is never less, so there is no need to say much this time.

Sheng Zong didn't expect His Majesty to crown Xie Zhaoyi as Concubine De, after all, he had never been in contact with Concubine Xie De, and not long after the matter between Concubine Wang Shufei and Yu Cairen ended, he named Xie Fanghua Concubine De.

Sheng Zong was surprised, but happy.

What's the joy? Then only he knows.

After sending Sheng Zong away, Qingzhi followed behind Xie Fanghua and continued to eat: "Niangniang, how could Your Majesty suddenly remember that Jin Feng made you Concubine De?" ”

Xie Fanghua was also puzzled. As for the title "De", ...... Xie Fanghua shook her head amusefully and helplessly—was the emperor sarcastic about her? Where did she Xie Fanghua come from?

After sitting down, Xie Fanghua glanced at the holy decree again, and couldn't even eat for a while: "Pack up and prepare, let's go meet the queen mother." ”

The matter of His Majesty's promotion of Xie Zhaoyi as Concubine De soon spread in the palace, and many maids said that His Majesty was going to be good to Concubine De, and Jinhua Hall must be the next Yongqing Palace.

Queen Xia's limelight was suddenly suppressed by Concubine Xie De.

A lot has happened recently, and there are more after-dinner topics among the palace maids and eunuchs.

They were all ready to meet Queen Xia, but Queen Xia came first as if she knew that Xie Fanghua was going to find her.

Queen Xia was dressed in a rose-red embroidered palace dress, with lemon gold silk stripes on her sleeves, and she put a silver-white cloak on the outside, and Dong Chan took off the cloak for her after she came in.

"The Queen." Xie Fanghua came back to his senses and walked over to salute.

Empress Xia responded, and then smiled slightly: "Concubine De is polite, come and sit." Empress Xia called Xie Fanghua, her smile a little meaningful.

Qingzhi glanced at Queen Xia, and then at Dong Chan, who was looking at her with disdain, and exhaled lightly to prepare hot tea.

After Empress Xia sat down, she said: "I didn't expect that Concubine Wang Shu turned out to be a red girl, no wonder Your Majesty skipped the second grade and directly named her a first-grade concubine, it turned out that I went to find Your Majesty." ”

The matter of the red girl has been poked out, and the emperor himself must be unhappy in his heart.

It's just that Queen Xia mentioned Concubine Wang Shu at this time, which made Xie Fanghua feel even more uncomfortable.

She not only regretted Princess Wang Shu's death, but also felt sorry.

It's just that things have happened, and it's too late for her to regret it - it has come to this point, Xie Fanghua can't stop, she can only make mistakes again and again, as for what is at the end of the road, Xie Fanghua herself doesn't know.

"yes." Xie Fanghua could only respond like this.

"And that talented person." When it comes to Yu Cairen, Queen Xia's eyes are a little sharp, and the person she hates the most in her life is Yu Cairen, "The Yu family committed a heinous crime, and His Majesty did not give her death, and it was cheap for her." ”

For Empress Xia, it is simply a shameful thing that Yu Cairen has not been given death by the emperor to such a point.

Why? Why is the emperor still so partial to talented people?

Empress Xia thought through gritted teeth.

As for why she came to Jinhua Palace, the reason was very simple: Dong Chan told her what happened just now, and she felt that Concubine Xie De, who seemed to have been unknown, really needed her attention.

Xie Fanghua couldn't help sneering in her heart when she heard Empress Xia talk about Concubine Wang Shu, and then mentioned Yu Cairen.

It seems that Emperor Xia really can't help it.

After enduring it for so long before, I'm afraid it's also her limit, right?

Is Queen Xia going to make a move?

Qingzhi brought pastries and tea and placed them on the table one by one. The tea is boiled with snow water, and Queen Xia took a sip, obviously it was hot water, but there was a hint of coolness when she took a sip, like the feeling of applying cool oil to her temples.

This tea is also magical, Queen Xia thought it was interesting, and she drank a cup at once.

"The queen likes this tea, so it's better to drink more." Xie Fanghua wanted to try to change the topic, so he said, "The brewing method of this tea is Qingzhi's own research, and I feel amazing when I start drinking it." ”

Queen Xia didn't expect Xie Fanghua to guess her thoughts, so she was stunned for a moment and put down the teacup in her hand.

Dong Chan glanced at Qingzhi and stepped forward to pour tea for Queen Xia, but Queen Xia waved her hand and signaled Dong Chan to retreat.

Dong Chan was stunned, and then withdrew her hand.

Empress Xia looked at Xie Fanghua, but said to Qingzhi and Dongchan: "There is something in this palace that I want to say to Concubine De, you two should step back first!" ”

"Yes."

After only Empress Xia and Xie Fanghua were left in the room, Empress Xia spoke again: "The purpose of this palace to find Concubine De today, I guess you also know Concubine De, right?" ”

Xie Fanghua knows.

Always known.

Empress Xia is still not the same as before.

When she met Queen Xia, it was when Queen Xia was not a queen, at that time the Xia family was just a princess, and she had a rare birthday when she had always been unfavored, but there were not many people who accompanied her.

It just so happened that Xie Fanghua went.

Xie Fanghua was still young at the time, twelve or thirteen years old, but she was already very old, and Xia's image of her was also very profound.

Xia Shi also took Xie Fanghua's hand at that time and smiled slightly: "The little girl has a calm temperament, and she will definitely be able to be a qualified good wife and mother in the future, not like me." ”

Xia Shi Xie Fanghua understood, and she also smiled: "The princess is a gentle person, after a long time, maybe you will be accepted by His Royal Highness." ”

Xia shook his head: "Miss Xie won't understand." I married him for two years, and he refused to even accompany me on his birthday, let alone accept anything. ”

Xie Fanghua was silent, and Xia said again: "How about Miss Xie come to accompany me more in the future?" ”

"My pleasure."

Empress Xia came back to her senses and smiled a little sarcastically, but she didn't know if this smile was for herself or Xie Fanghua: "At that time, the palace also said that you would be a good wife and mother." ”

After a pause, she said again: "Now I find that you are really not suitable to be a good wife and mother. A pair of amateur hands set off the wind and waves, deep eyes look at the sea, you are a special woman. ”

"The queen lady exalted me too much."

Queen Xia poured herself a cup of tea, and drank it all as if she was drinking, the corners of her mouth were bitter and cool: "Fanghua." She actually called Xie Fanghua's name, "A few years ago, Bengong was disheartened and found someone to make a medicine, and after giving it to His Majesty, he couldn't have children with other women, that person was Su Wuming you knew, right?" ”

Empress Xia once heard her brother Xia Lingsheng mention this person's name, and later asked the people around Xia Lingsheng to investigate, and found that Su Wuming and Xie Fanghua seemed to know each other.

Xie Fanghua was noncommittal, just looked at Queen Xia lightly, waiting for her to continue.

"Later, Concubine Wang Shu was able to conceive a child, did you find Su Wuming to get the antidote?" Empress Xia asked again.

"Yes." Xie Fanghua replied very simply.

Empress Xia took a deep breath and spit out this breath again: "Aren't you tired?" ”

Aren't you tired?

Empress Xia's simple question made Xie Fanghua's body a little soft.

What Queen Xia means Xie Fanghua understands, what she means is that she has been calculating since she was so young, and it has been nearly ten years now, isn't Xie Fanghua tired?

Tired, how can you not be tired, but what can you do? I chose the wrong path from the beginning, and I can't go back.

Xie Fanghua asked, "What does the queen want to say?" ”

Empress Xia replied: "This palace doesn't want to say anything, I just want to ask you to do this palace a favor." ”

Queen Xia doesn't care whether Xie Fanghua is tired or not, in short, she is tired.

The position of the queen looks extremely honorable, but only those who have been there know that this position is very high!

Yu Cairen is gone, and she is very happy, because she has always been at a disadvantage and has been laughing for a longer time.

It is precisely because Yu Cairen is no longer worthless that Queen Xia feels tired, if she goes on so endlessly, she will always be tired to death, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

"What would the Queen Mother want me to help you?"

"I want to leave the palace."

She didn't call herself "Bengong" anymore, she was really tired when she thought about it, and she really wanted to break free from the cage of the palace.

Xie Fanghua raised her eyes to look at her, a little surprised: "It's so easy to give up the position of queen?" ”

Empress Xia's breathing was a little uneven, and after adjusting it, she nodded lightly: "I'll just put it down so simply, if Fanghua likes it, I'll take it." As for whether you can get it or not......"

Queen Xia is a radical general, she doesn't have the ability to escape from this cage, and hopes that Xie Fanghua will help her.

Queen Xia felt that Xie Fanghua had this ability, and since Xie Fanghua had done so many things, she must be a competitive person, and if she stimulated her, the other party would definitely help her.

Xie Fanghua hesitated, and sure enough, agreed: "Even if you don't use the 'Radical Method', I will help you." Because to help you, I am also helping myself. As for the position of 'Queen', I will definitely be able to get it. ”

Empress Xia smiled slightly, got up and bowed her head: "Thank you." ”

After she went out, Qingzhi came in a short time. Qingzhi blessed her body and said, "Niangniang, Lin Jieyu committed suicide." ”

Committed suicide?

Xie Fanghua was a little surprised.

Lin Jieyu once told her that she lived to avenge her family, and now that the Yu family is dead, it is normal for her to commit suicide.

But Xie Fanghua was actually a little sad.

Why be sad? Maybe it's because the Yu family's affairs involve too many people, she is a little emotional, and then thinks of many things, and suddenly she can't accept it.
