When the Jiang family worked together to discuss how to deal with the aftermath of the royal scandal on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Imperial City, Quezhi Palace.

"The queen's palace power can't be kept?" Jiang Hui Zhiyun has high temples, wearing crab shells and green ground folded branches and hibiscus flower tooth edges, covered with Zitang Sihe Ruyi Rui cloud pattern Dayu, and a shiny and slippery mink fur on his shoulders. She is young and beautiful, but she is dressed like the hopeless concubine and concubine in the Zhenyu Palace, although the dull tone can't hide the bright youth, but the eyes without much emotion reveal lifelessness.

At this moment, he asked coldly, "What good is this for us, worthy of your joy?" ”

"Niangniang, the queen can't take care of the palace affairs, who else can take over the power of the six palaces besides you, who dares to take it?" The henchman who married into the palace didn't know why he said, "Isn't this a good thing?" ”

"The queen is Your Majesty's first match, and she is the queen mother's daughter-in-law who was personally selected back then!" Jiang Huizhi said expressionlessly when he heard this, "There is an eldest prince, and he is also the only blood and bone of His Majesty now...... Do you think she will be punished for the rest of her life because of such a thing that harmed the pond fish? ”

"This ......" the henchman was speechless, but immediately said, "This time the matter is so big, even if the queen mother is for the sake of meaning, it is impossible for the queen mother to punish the queen with the front foot, and let her out with the back foot to continue to be the home in this palace, right?" I will definitely let you preside over it for a while, take this opportunity to ......"

"What can be done?" Jiang Huizhi said disdainfully, "The queen is one step ahead of the palace, and she regards her Purple Deep Palace as if it were an iron bucket." Not to mention reaching out to do something, I want to ask what flowers and plants she has planted in her apse! Besides, how many people in this palace are not with red and white things, since I entered the palace, how many times has Your Majesty come back and forth? You can count them on one hand! Pampered in the Purple Deep Palace, the prince is in the Purple Deep Palace, do you think I can do anything even if I nominally receive the palace power?! ”

The henchman snorted: "But why are you a concubine......"

"But Your Majesty doesn't even have a concubine under the concubine!" Jiang Huizhi gritted his teeth and said, "So this noble concubine is the bottom in his harem!" Do you think these people in the palace can afford me?! If it weren't for the queen's fear that people would talk about her harsh on me, I am afraid that our share here would not be able to be preserved! ”

She sneered, "Of course, grandfather has some arrangements in the palace, if you can use it, you can also run it." It's just too much to do! ”

The henchman cautiously asked, "Niangniang, why can't you row?" ”

"The Queen Mother has been guarding against me, the Queen has a thing behind my surface, and His Majesty doesn't seem to be very interested in me!" Jiang Huizhi sneered, "The attitude of these three masters is so clear, no matter how much I run in this palace, it is just one thing, and I don't have to take this opportunity to find out some of my grandfather's arrangements...... So, it's better to find another way! ”

"What do you mean?"

…… Half a day later, in the Imperial Garden, the emperor only brought Cen Wei as usual to paint under the snowy forest.

"The concubine invited herself to serve the Queen Mother and went to the Taishi Palace?" The emperor's expression was calm, and the brush was dotted on Bai Xuan, outlining a winter snow scene with his heart, "The Queen Mother actually allowed her?" I remember that the Queen Mother has always disliked the people in the Jiang family's big house, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have deliberately treated the concubine coldly after she entered the palace! ”

Cen Wei said softly while studying the ink: "The Queen Mother didn't agree at first, and Lady Lin personally came out and asked the concubine to take charge of the six palaces on behalf of the queen. But the concubine said that there is now only one queen and one concubine in the palace, and the rest are palace people, and it is enough for female officials and chamberlains to take care of it. Moreover, she is young and knowledgeable, and she doesn't care about the palace at all, so it is better to serve the Queen Mother and chat with her heart. ”

"And then? Later, Lady Lin let her in? ”

Lady Lin didn't agree, but the concubine insisted on kneeling in front of the Taishi Hall for more than an hour, and just now, Lady Lin invited her in...... It is not known whether the Queen Mother will leave the concubine to serve. ”

The emperor's pen paused, and then continued, and said lightly: "This Jiang family is a smart one, it is not in vain that Fei Zhen designed to let her enter the palace!" ”

Speaking of which, it's no wonder that Jiang Huizhi is uneasy, she had to enter the palace and was indeed cheated, but it's a pity that the person who pit her was the emperor that the Jiang family didn't expect - after all, who would have thought that Empress Dowager Gu would be the same as Empress Dowager Ye before she died, with the mentality that you won't let me feel better, and I won't let you feel better when I die, and quietly handed over the most loyal subordinates to the emperor secretly?

And the emperor has always grown up in front of the Empress Dowager Jiang, and the Empress Dowager Jiang thinks that she knows him very well and knows his details, so she never considered that he could have his own team. Therefore, after Jiang Huizhi was knocked out on the eve of marriage and had close contact with the emperor, the government and the opposition, inside and outside the Jiang family, suspected the remnants of the Gu family, suspected the political enemies of the Xin family, and doubted each other...... Both.

It's just that no one doubts the emperor!

It's really dark under the lights!

Even Cen Wei, after this incident, saw that the emperor was still unaffected, and confirmed that following him may not have a good future, so he officially changed from the eyeliner arranged by the Empress Dowager Jiang to the emperor's side.

"Being able to enter His Majesty's eyes is also a blessing for the concubine!" At this moment, he flattered respectfully, and then changed his words, and said without worry, "It's just...... The slave maid thought that even if the queen mother accepted the service of the concubine, I am afraid that she would not let the concubine go over the queen because of this! ”

"That's for sure." The emperor said lightly, "Empress...... But the Queen Mother personally picked the person! Not to mention the relationship between the Duchess of Eguo and the Queen Mother, it is much better than the relationship between Zhijiang Tianqiao and the Queen Mother. Let's just say that the queen is the main palace and has a young child, how could the queen mother give up the mother and son of the middle palace because of the concubine's courtesy? ! ”

"In that case, doesn't the concubine have to be pressed by the queen all the time?" Cen Wei thought for a while, and asked suspiciously, "When Your Majesty designed to let the concubine enter the palace, didn't you say that the purpose was to make the Jiang family's big house and the Jiang family's fourth and sixth rooms pinch?" Lest the queen have no one to check and balance, which is not conducive to His Majesty's plan - but now, the concubine is at a disadvantage everywhere, but she can't play a role in balancing the queen! ”

The Emperor exclaimed, "Not bad! The queen is the queen mother's choice, and her mother's family is also inextricably linked with the queen mother and the Jiang family, so naturally she is the same heart as the queen mother! In this way, everything in the harem is headed by her, no matter how careful I am in my actions, it will inevitably be seen by her for a long time! According to my original plan, after the concubine entered the palace, even if she couldn't share the queen's power, she could also divide her heart, so that even if the queen found something, we could also frame the concubine - anyway, it was as if no one except the Jiang family's big house believed that the concubine was framed when she entered the palace, and the gap between the queen and the concubine was extremely deep, and they would not believe the other party's defense at all! ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly asked, "What do you think of the situation of the concubine now?" ”

“…… Isn't it too good? ”

"Isn't it too good?" The emperor mocked, "Influenced by her elders, no matter how virtuous and virtuous she is, the Queen Mother will not really treat her with her heart!" Not to mention the queen, if it weren't for the Jibei Hou's deathbed protection, the queen would have wished she had died early...... Even I, the Queen Mother, didn't dare to give her any good looks. Rejected by the queen mother and the emperor, even if you are a concubine, what future do you say? ”

Cen Wei couldn't help but be silent.

"I heard that she fought a few times with the queen and the queen's mother, the Duchess of Eguo, before entering the palace." The emperor sneered, "I thought it was a strong and tricky temperament, but as soon as I entered the palace, the harem would be lively!" I don't want her to endure it, but I haven't been silent for so many months......"

Speaking of this, he said lightly, "Moreover, I am still learning now!" ”

"Learn from you, Your Majesty?" Cen Wei was stunned for a moment, and then thought: "Yes, Concubine Jiang Guifei is obviously extremely arrogant, and she doesn't even pay much attention to the queen, but she will give up the opportunity to seize power, and Baba rushed to serve the queen mother - her attitude has changed so much, isn't she taking the opportunity to show weakness and pretend to be obedient?!" Hasn't Your Majesty always used this method to protect himself? ”

The emperor is much more professional than Concubine Jiang, at least Jiang Huizhi has the black history of deliberately provoking trouble and framing her before she entered the palace, even if it has been temporarily changed now, Empress Dowager Jiang and Empress Xin must also be suspicious and wary of her.

But the emperor has always been so obedient, it is simply the level of a professional puppet Sansheng III, except for the people who are now under his hands, who in the government and the opposition does not think that he is the second emperor who is obedient - in this case, who would have thought of the things he did behind his back?

"I wonder when she'll have a showdown with me?" The emperor ignored Cen Wei's surprise, and said lightly, "The Jiang family's big house has fallen, with the current advantage of the fourth room, she will not be given any chance to borrow her mother's family to turn over, she wants to overpower the queen, and she doesn't want to die lonely in the deep palace...... The only hope can only be me! ”

The Emperor smiled coldly, "I don't know what kind of bargaining chips she can give me...... Remember to give the concubine more chances in the future! It's not good for me to go to her side often, so that the concubine can slowly get in touch with me, but she won't be noticed by the Queen Mother and the Queen, but she will look at you! ”

Cen Wei's mind turned, and he bowed down and said, "Slave obeys!" ”

When the emperor and the concubine in the palace were intriguing with each other, Qiu Lulan was invited to the third room with Shui Jin: "Originally, it was lively to do happy events in the first month, but now that something like that happened in the palace, wouldn't it be embarrassing if it was discussed again at the banquet?" ”

"But the date has been set, and the reason why it is done in our house is also for such a suitable day in the first month of this year - if you miss it, it will be next year, and the little aunt clearly said that she is not willing to wait." Qiu Yulan sighed and said helplessly, "When the time comes, pick up a few fresh singing and dancing acrobatics and the like, so that you can share the thoughts of the guests?" ”

The twelfth day of the first lunar month, the only date suitable for Jiang Yalan and Feng Hanyan to marry in the whole year of this year, is approaching, and what makes the two of them feel tricky is that now the government and the opposition are talking about Yan Linxue and Concubine Fan - since the fall of the Gu family, in the past few years, it is the first time that the Jiang family has a descendant to marry, but it has not been able to get the most lively topic, which shows how reasonable the saying "good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles".

It's really not Qiu Yulan and He Shui Jin who want to be the most showy in their own family: think about it, on the big day, the guests are enthusiastically discussing the pair of rebellious wild mandarin ducks in the palace...... This...... What a mood this has to be for the Lord's family!

"That's all there is to it now!" He Shuijin frowned for a long time before he said, "I didn't prevent such a thing before, and now there are only a few days left, and I don't know if I can find a good ...... Alas! ”

Speaking of this, I remembered again, "By the way, what day is it that the 19th of the first month still has to accept disciples?" If you are really busy, I will take care of the matter of the thirteenth brother's wife? ”

"Nineteen doesn't want to make a big deal, so when the time comes, I will invite a few colleagues and the like to be present, and let Lu He have a tea." Qiu Yulan shook his head, "After the thirteenth brother got married, he got past the Lantern Festival...... Don't be in a hurry about this, let's get busy with the big things of the thirteenth brother first! ”

"Then you can help me take a look at this stack of lists!" When He Shui Jin heard this, he unceremoniously began to arrange for her to do things - now they are really busy as daughters-in-law.
