Chapter 14: Instigation

Outside the four concubines, there is a group of warblers and swallows. Since the queen was crowned, she would select beauties from the family every year to enrich the emperor's harem. Over the years, beauties have entered a lot. There are those who carry the position, there are those who are favored, there are those who give birth to children, and there are those who die and enter the cold palace.

Although there has always been a constant fight in the harem, Queen Fang, because of the emperor's trust, has two princes by her side, and a national teacher's daughter-in-law to support her, and her position is stable, no matter which beauty is favored, she can't threaten her position. Therefore, Queen Fang took good care of the harem.

Because Queen Fang balances the power of the harem and constantly enters the palace with newcomers, the emperor does not say which one is favored, and in the case of rain and dew, although there are many factions in the harem, the biggest faction is still Queen Fang.

Empress Fang took good care of the harem, and over the years, in the emperor's harem, five princesses and four princes were born, which made the government and the opposition all praise Empress Fang's virtuous people. Even Emperor Changping himself was very satisfied. He has been an emperor for so many years, and when the harem was under the control of Empress Yang in the past, there were only three princes who grew up. He himself accepted his fate, and felt that he was an emperor with few heirs. But I didn't expect that in his later years, after sealing the Fang family, children were frequently born in the harem, and now, Emperor Changping has nine sons. Of course, the eldest son was deposed and died, Rao is like this, and there are as many as eight princes who have survived, so there are more sons among the emperors. This was an accident that came out of Emperor Changping.

In order to balance the power in the harem, Empress Fang assigned the six princes who were still in the harem to high-ranking concubines. The fourth prince, Xiao Kun, was naturally raised in the queen's palace, but now that he is getting older, he will leave the palace in two years to establish the palace. The fifth prince, Xiao Yu, was raised in the palace of Concubine Qu.

The six princes were raised in the Wan Zhaoyi Palace, the seventh prince was raised in the Fei Liang Concubine Palace, and the biological mothers of the eighth prince and the ninth prince died early, so these two children, after birth, were carried to the queen's palace and raised by the queen.

For this, Concubine Su Wan has always been unhappy, as one of the four concubines, she naturally has the right to raise the prince, but the queen is the only one who has not raised her, she is naturally unhappy.

Because of the relationship between the prince and the prince, Concubine Su Wan instigated Concubine Wanrong to make trouble with the queen many times, and for this, the queen also had a headache.

At this moment, after the concubines saluted the queen, Concubine Qu Shu stammered and said to the queen: "Queen Mother, this is the lord of Anfu, right?" It's really golden, so cute? ”

As soon as she heard someone praise her granddaughter, Queen Fang's mood improved a lot, and she smiled and said, "No, Anfu is good-looking." ”

Concubine Fei Liang is the smartest, she herself is from the line of Queen Fang, so she naturally said: "The county lord of Anfu has a noble status, but he is the first county lord of our Great Zhou." The emperor's granddaughter, who is loved by thousands of people, is naturally smart and clever, and Yuxue is cute. ”

That's to the point. Although Emperor Changping has a large number of sons and daughters, according to the etiquette law, only the queen can be counted as a concubine. Empress Yang, the queen of Emperor Changping, has been deposed, and she has only given birth to one son, the eldest prince, who used to be the crown prince, and later has been deposed as a concubine. This is naturally gone. The current queen is Queen Fang, she has two sons, so naturally these three princes and four princes can be regarded as concubines. Their children can be regarded as the grandchildren of the emperor.

It's just that the fourth prince is still young and has not married, and the third prince is only the first child, naturally, Anfu is the granddaughter of the most noble bloodline. This suddenly raised An Fu to the status of the first person among the emperors and grandsons, can Empress Fang be unhappy?

Seeing Empress Fang's eyebrows and smiles, Concubine Su Wan was even more unhappy. She was angry, this queen Fang, she gave birth to two sons, not to mention, now she has granddaughters, and she still holds two young princes, she has a total of four princes in her hands, as for it? Why is this man so greedy?

Concubine Su Wan was even more unhappy in her heart, so she thought about stabbing the queen. As soon as she rolled her eyes, she saw that Concubine Wanrong was looking at the little Anfu County Lord unhappy. Concubine Su Wan immediately understood, Concubine Wanrong had always thought that the princess she gave birth to was the most noble and beautiful girl in the world. Now, with an Anfu county lord, the limelight and bloodline have overshadowed the princess she gave birth to, she is naturally unhappy.

Concubine Su Wan had an idea. At this time, the entire hall was full of words of praise and praise for the lord of Anfu, and the queen was so happy that she couldn't see her eyebrows.

Concubine Fei Liang directly took down a pair of pearl bracelets from her hands and gave them to the lord of Anfu, and said in her mouth: "I was busy in the morning, and I didn't know that the lord of Anfu had arrived in the capital, and he didn't bring the gifts to the lord of Anfu, these are all the concubines' no, go back in a while, and the concubines asked someone to send the gifts that had been prepared for the lord of Anfu to the mansion of the national teacher." ”

"This pair of strings is nothing, but fortunately, the beads are round enough, but keep it for Anfu to play."

Empress Fang smiled and said, "It's for you to break the bank, what does she know as a child." Can't be pampered too much. ”

With Concubine Fei Liang taking the lead, the concubines all gave greeting gifts. Concubine Qu Shufei was a little painful, but she also knew that An Fu's identity was extraordinary, and she couldn't slack off, so she took off a pair of jade bracelets and gave them away.

Although Concubine Wanrong did not like the Lord of Anfu, she had always been wealthy and generous, so she was naturally not far behind, so she immediately took off a red gold treasure collar she was carrying and gave it to the Lord of Anfu.

Concubine Su Wan took down a Nanmu bracelet from her hand and gave it to her, pretending to be casual and said: "Lord Anfu is so cute, this skin is really good, in the past, we all said that the five princesses in Concubine Rong's palace have the best skin and are the most beautiful, but now it seems that they are not as good as this little niece." ”

As soon as she said this, Concubine Wanrong's face immediately changed, she saw that the people in the hall were all around An Fu, and she was already unhappy, and said: "The child's family, it has not been a year old, everyone is so pampered, but it is not a good thing, when I did not enter the palace before, the old people in the family said that the more noble the child, the more extensive he must be raised, so that he can live big." ”

As soon as she said this, Queen Fang's face changed, and although Mama Liao on the side lowered her head, she was also annoyed.

Empress Fang said coldly: "Concubine Rong, as one of the four concubines, you must keep in mind the palace rules and the virtue of being a concubine, can you casually take the words outside the palace to the palace?" Besides, the old people in the family, what old people in the family? What kind of identity can you talk about the prince's son and grandson? ”

Concubine Wanrong didn't expect that the gentle and virtuous queen in the past would suddenly be so faceless and come back directly, she was stunned for a while.

Queen Fang didn't give up and said directly: "Look at the palace, Concubine Rong is a little slack about the palace rules, go back and copy the palace rules ten times behind closed doors before coming out." ”

Is this what made Concubine Wanrong think about it behind closed doors? The entire hall was suddenly silent.
