Hearing Zhou Guifei call me, I said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, Guifei Niangniang, I saw Guifei Niangniang and the prince talking just now, and Zhen'er was inconvenient to come up and disturb, so I didn't come over." ”

It just so happened that the prince saw me coming, so he hurriedly pulled me and said to me: "Zhen'er, you have also seen Miss Tang, how good Miss Tang is, you also know how good Miss Tang is, right?" Tell my queen mother about it. ”

Of course, I don't want to say how good a woman Tang Jingran is, but because of the prince's face, if I don't say it, the prince must be unhappy in his heart, and maybe he will resent me because of this, so I had to reluctantly say: "Yes, Guifei Niangniang, what the prince said is right, Miss Tang is indeed a very beautiful woman, and her beauty is really difficult to find a second one in the world." ”

I know very well what kind of person Zhou Guifei is, and I also know what kind of things she likes to listen to and what kind of things she doesn't like to hear, so I deliberately said so.

After Zhou Guifei listened to my words, she didn't say anything more, she said to the prince: "Okay, see Shen, what you just said, the mother knows everything, you go back first." Wait for the mother concubine to inquire carefully about the character of this Tang girl, and there are others, and after I inquire clearly, I will tell you, okay? ”

"Thank you, mother, you are so nice, mother." Zhu Jianshen said in a loud voice, and after finishing speaking, he said goodbye to Zhou Guifei.

After he went out, Zhou Guifei looked at me and said to me: "Zhen'er, when I heard you speak just now, I was a little vague, and this palace felt strange at that time. Since you know this Tang girl, what kind of person she is, you should also know very well, you might as well tell the truth to this palace, just now I saw that you wanted to speak and stopped, as if you had something to say. ”

Hearing Zhou Guifei ask me this, I hurriedly said: "Guifei Niangniang, Zhen'er doesn't dare, how dare Zhen'er talk nonsense?" Zhen'er, Zhen'er doesn't know anything. ”

"Okay, you don't have to hide anything from this concubine, how could this concubine allow her son to marry a woman from the rivers and lakes who doesn't know where she came from? It's just that what he said is still very reasonable, now the emperor is willing to listen to the eldest princess, the eldest princess can be described as a high power, and the palace is optimistic about the relationship between the woman and the eldest princess, if her relationship with the eldest princess is really so good, if the crown prince marries her, it will also be a good thing, at least the eldest princess will support the crown prince in the future. At this point, she hesitated and looked at me again, as if to ask for my opinion.

I know that I must say this better today no matter what, otherwise, if I accidentally say it to Concubine Zhou Guifei, it will not be of any benefit to myself, so I hesitated for a moment, and then bowed my head and said nothing.

When Zhou Guifei saw that I didn't speak, she said, "Oh? Zhen'a, why don't you speak? Do you have something else in mind? This palace forgives you for your innocence, and if you have any thoughts, please tell them to this palace. ”

"Yes." I said slowly: "Concubine Niangniang, in fact, Zhen'er doesn't want to tell the truth, it's just that Zhen'er doesn't know how to say it." This Tang girl is not bad, everything else is very good, she is really beautiful, as beautiful as a person who has been painted, Zhen'er is honest, for so many years, she has never seen such a beautiful girl as her. I remember the first time I saw her in the Qinglou, I thought it was a heavenly immortal. I deliberately accentuated the tone of the word Qinglou.

"What? Did you see her in the Qinglou? Why did she go to the Qinglou? Sure enough, Zhou Guifei suddenly had questions.

"This?" I hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "I don't know why, it's just that she went with Yu Mian Yu Gongzi at that time, and Zhen'er also heard about something, but it was just hearsay, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

"What is it? You hurry up and tell the palace, this matter is related to the marriage of the crown prince, and the palace must be cautious. ”

After I heard Zhou Guifei say this, I told everything to Zhou Guifei and Pan, and I said slowly: "I heard that this Tang girl and Yu Mian and Yu Gongzi of Yu Mansion are in love, and the two of them have basically reached the point of talking about marriage, so I felt very strange when the crown prince suddenly mentioned her just now." Obviously, she is going to marry Yu Mian, why is the crown prince obsessed with her now? ”

After hearing me say this, Zhou Guifei's face really became unsightly, and she thought for a long time before she slowly said to me: "According to what you say, is this person Tang Jingran unreliable?" ”

"I don't mean that either, Guifei Niangniang, it's just that Zhen'er will say whatever she wants, and tell everything she knows to Guifei Niangniang, and she will never dare to hide anything from Guifei Niangniang. Don't misunderstand Zhen'er because of this, Zhen'er hopes that the concubine and the crown prince are good. ”

"It's okay, you have something to do, but it's okay to say it, if you want to hide it from this palace, this palace will be unhappy. Is there anything else you know? Zhou Guifei asked me.

I have long known Zhou Guifei's temper, and I will never stop until I figure things out, so I revealed the matter to her little by little.

When I heard her say that, I said to her, "One more thing. So I revealed the matter of Tang Jingran to Zhou Guifei little by little, and I said: "As far as I know, this Tang Jingzhen Tang girl, she is also a female killer with high martial arts. ”

"What? Murderess? Sure enough, after hearing these three words, Zhou Guifei's face changed.

I looked at the words and immediately said, "Yes, this is just hearsay. Of course, Zhen'er also saw her use her martial arts to save the crown prince last time, and it may be because of this reason that the crown prince favored her. She is the head of Candle Shadow Shake Red and Confession Gate, and is in charge of the two big gangs in the rivers and lakes, how can a person like this not know martial arts? ”

Sure enough, after hearing me finish all this, Zhou Guifei's face became very, very ugly: "Bastard." She slapped heavily on the case: "What has the prince been thinking in his heart recently, he actually wants to marry such a woman as a wife, how can I, as a mother, agree, if he wants to marry such a woman as a wife, then what danger will he encounter in the future, so what should I do?" I will never agree with my son to marry a woman as his wife. She said angrily.

All this is already expected by me, the women of the royal family generally require gentleness and virtuousness, and generally require piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and hops, but the only thing that is not required is martial arts, and they will not allow women to know martial arts anyway, because once a woman knows martial arts, it poses a threat to the emperor, and the royal family will never allow such a situation.

After I finished talking to Zhou Guifei about all this, Zhou Guifei looked at me and said to me: "Zhen'er, thanks to you by your side in the palace today, otherwise, the palace wouldn't know about these things?" If the prince wants this woman, it is absolutely impossible. ”

I hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "The concubine is wise. "After that, I was very happy.

I'm happy not because I broke Tang Jingran's plan to enter the palace, but because after entering the palace, after having authority in my hands, it is really different, and I can really play people in the palm of my hand.

But I never dreamed that Tang was shocked that she didn't want to enter the palace at all, in fact, it was only the crown prince who wanted her to enter the palace, she was single-minded about the crown, and then when I knew the news, the hatred in my heart was simply difficult to contain.

I never dreamed that I had done so many things, I wanted to destroy her, but it turned out to fulfill her, and when I thought of this, I trembled with anger.

And what makes me the most unbearable is that the relationship between the crown prince and Zhou Guifei has a rift because of this matter, he originally respected Zhou Guifei very much, Zhou Guifei said anything, the prince would agree, but because Zhou Guifei prevented him from marrying Tang Jingran, his respect for Zhou Guifei was not as good as before.

And Zhou Guifei because the crown prince is not as kind to her as before, she always feels that this matter has something to do with me, although I told her the truth, but after all, I am also the person who revealed the truth behind the scenes, and she is more or less alienated from me.

At this time, she began to favor another palace maid, and the name of the palace maid was Qingsha.

Qingsha is very young, only seventeen or eighteen years old, it turned out to be just a little palace maid doing chores, since there was a chance to get Zhou Guifei's favor, more and more unscrupulous, even I don't pay attention to it.

Every time I see her in the palace, my heart is very uncomfortable, I will never allow this kind of scene to find out, if this kind of thing really happens, even my own life will be in the hands of others in the future, so I do everything possible to please Zhou Guifei, just at this time, there is friction between Zhou Guifei and Queen Qian.

Zhou Guifei hated Queen Qian to the core, and she couldn't wait to replace her, she thought of a lot of ways to blame Queen Qian, but the emperor was only willing to believe Queen Qian alone, any word Queen Qian said, the emperor didn't want to believe it, but the emperor refused to believe what Zhou Guifei said.

Because of this reason, Zhou Guifei's hatred for Queen Qian has reached an indescribable level, and I took the opportunity to help Zhou Guifei deal with Queen Qian.

In fact, I think Zhou Guifei is really anxious, if it were me, I would not be embarrassed by Queen Qian at this time, because even though Queen Qian has the name of the queen, but she has no heirs, and when the emperor goes west, this throne will not still be the crown prince's, and when the time comes, the position of the queen mother will still be Zhou Guifei's sooner or later, Zhou Guifei really has no need to embarrass Queen Qian at this time, but let the emperor think that she is not virtuous.

The emperor became more and more disgusted and disgusted with her, and the resentment in her heart became deeper and deeper, in the end, she actually wanted to murder the emperor, and I was used by him as a substitute for the dead, I never dreamed that I would be used by her as a substitute for the dead, but things really came to that point, and I was helpless.

The emperor was poisoned, and the poison on his body became heavier and heavier, all the evidence pointed to me, I knew that in fact, all this was done by Zhou Guifei, but I had no way to refute it, even if I could tell Zhou Guifei, what if I came?

In the end, there was really no way, so I went to the eldest princess and told the princess the truth.

After the eldest princess heard this, she immediately went to visit the emperor, and the emperor was able to see the eldest princess and the crown prince for the last time before he died, and then I was lucky to escape.

And Zhou Guifei didn't know what role I played in this whole thing, she didn't know that I had done so many things, and thought that I had almost become her substitute ghost, so she couldn't help but be more tolerant of me.

She never dreamed of it, in fact, the whole thing was in my expectation, and the next thing was really much more complicated than I imagined, and the queen mother of the two palaces was going to compete for the position of queen mother.

Empress Dowager Qian originally had no intention of competing with others, but Concubine Zhou Guifei had to be the queen mother no matter what, and she wanted to be the queen mother above the Empress Dowager Qian, which made everyone unable to agree, including the eldest princess.

So the Empress Dowager Zhou really needed someone by her side to help her, but Qingsha was smart and smart, but in this kind of thing, she couldn't help her, and she was very angry for a while.

So I took the opportunity to offer advice to her, and when she saw that I was willing to help her, she reused me again, and she asked me: "Do you know any way, we can not let Queen Qian be the queen mother?" When Queen Qian was alive, she had already pressed the palace a lot, and she couldn't swallow this breath in the heart of the palace, and now that the emperor is dead, is the palace still being pressed by Queen Qian? ”

After hearing her say this, I said to her slowly: "In fact, the final statement of this matter is in the emperor, the key depends on what the emperor does, as long as the emperor does not agree to let the emperor be the queen mother, this matter still has a turning point, if the emperor agrees, then no one can say anything." ”

"The emperor is my biological son, of course, the emperor will agree to whatever the palace says." She said with confidence.

I shook my head and said slowly: "Things may not be as simple as you think, the emperor is now the new emperor on the throne, and he has to deal with all kinds of pressure, even if he has the heart to make you the queen mother, he has to take into account the interests of many people." Just like the eldest princess, I believe that the eldest princess will never let you ascend to the position of the Queen Mother so easily. ”

After hearing me say this, she really became a little nervous again, and she still has some ideas, because she did make a lot of efforts to kill the emperor, so she was inevitably a little worried in her heart.

She asked me, "Then what do you think this palace should do?" You came up with the idea for Hongu. ”

"Yes." Naturally, I am very willing to help the Queen Mother come up with ideas: "In this case, the Queen Mother might as well put pressure on the emperor when the emperor is in court to fight for opportunities for herself." ”

"You have a point."

"And Queen Qian has made it clear that she will not fight, and Niangniang can take the opportunity to fight."

After hearing me say this, she nodded and said, "Okay, then Hongu will do what you say." ”

So the next day, when the emperor went to the court, Zhou Guifei went to the court to cry, she cried the emperor, trying to arouse the sympathy of the courtiers, but unfortunately because Zhou Guifei's usual conduct has not been very dignified, the courtiers have always been quite kind to her, and now she came to the court to cry, but made the courtiers feel that she was like a show, not only did they sympathize with her more, but they also became more and more disdainful of her.

The next day, the emperor came to her in person and said to her that he wanted to crown the Empress Dowager Qian as the Queen Mother, and named her the Queen Mother, she cried and made trouble, and refused to agree, and in the end, the emperor had to give in and promised to make her the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother Qian was the Queen Mother.

The crown prince has ascended the throne as the emperor at this time, it is for the new emperor, and the crown prince's tolerance for her has reached the point of indescribable, and at this time, I didn't expect something to happen.

That is, the emperor's resolution caused the opposition of the eldest princess, and now the political situation is treacherous, and it affects the whole body, there are several powerful factions in this who control the political situation, and the emperor has no way, even the eldest princess said so, and the emperor had to agree.

So the emperor went to see the Empress Dowager Qian again, the Empress Dowager Qian was very sympathetic and open-minded, and the emperor went to see the Empress Dowager Zhou again, and the Empress Dowager Zhou was about to become the Empress Dowager at this time, Zhou Guifei cried and made trouble, but in the end, there was no way, and things were carried out according to the decision of the courtiers and the eldest princess.

Soon, the queen mother of the two palaces carried out the canonization ceremony, and among the queen mothers of the two palaces, the queen mother Qian was the main one, and the queen mother Zhou was just a supplement, and Zhou Guifei, who had become the queen mother, was angry and anxious, and the whole person was so angry that she was beyond words.

Soon, she had a serious illness, and at this time she proposed to make Tang a concubine, and the contradiction between the queen mother and the eldest princess at this time has been regarded as water and fire, how could she agree to be a concubine?

And after Tang Jingran became a concubine, he would be the queen in the future, Tang Jingran only had the eldest princess in his heart, how could he respect her, the Empress Dowager Zhou? So she tried every possible way to obstruct it, and finally blocked the emperor in the end, although the resentment between her and the emperor increased by one percent.

The emperor became more and more resentful of her biological mother, and more and more disgusted with her, the emperor felt that if it weren't for her, maybe the emperor would have been able to marry Tang Jingran as a concubine, but now he can't, so the relationship between the emperor and her is getting weaker and weaker day by day.

Seeing this situation, I hurriedly persuaded her, and I said to her: "Queen Mother, things have come to this point, you can't be angry with the emperor no matter what, if you are angry with the emperor, you will suffer in the end." ”

Empress Dowager Zhou said angrily: "When the emperor was alive, he didn't favor the mourning family, so forget it, the mourning family is not married to him after all." But why did the emperor treat the mourning family like this? Mourning is his biological mother. He stands up for the Empress Dowager Qian in everything, not for the mourning family, how can you let the mourning family not be angry? ”

"You can't say that, Niangniang, feelings also depend on cultivation, if Niangniang now shows the emperor's face and makes the emperor feel uncomfortable, how can the emperor have a better relationship with Niangniang? On the contrary, the Empress Dowager Qian is now very close to the emperor, and now the Empress Dowager Qian is not only favored by the eldest princess, but also supported by the courtiers, all of whom think that she is a virtuous queen, and if you show the slightest behavior that is not in general, it will definitely attract criticism. So at this time, even if you have a thousand kinds of dissatisfaction in your heart, ten thousand kinds of dissatisfaction, you have to hold back all of them. ”

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard my words, she didn't respond for a long time, I thought she was going to get angry, maybe she would punish me, who knew that she glanced at me, snorted coldly and said: "Wan Zhen'er, I didn't expect that at this time, you are the only one who is willing to tell the truth to the mourning family." Yes, you are right, at this time, there is really no need for the mourning family to do it against the emperor, if the mourning family is against the emperor, it will just satisfy those villains at that time, and the mourning family thinks what you said is very reasonable. ”

"Thank you for the compliment, in fact, Zhen'er still has a reluctant invitation, which is also what Zhen'er has always thought. Niang Niang can think that Zhen'er is a toad and wants to eat swan meat, she can think that Zhen'er is not self-sufficient, and Zhen'er has nothing to say, if Niang Niang is willing to listen, Zhen'er will tell Niang Niang. If the mother didn't feel the need to listen, then Zhen'er would keep her mouth shut. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou is very lonely now, and she has reached the point of being helpless, and the only people she can trust are me and Qingsha, but because Qingsha is very young, she can't help her with any ideas at all, and everything she does is what I help her with that idea, so she trusts me very much.

After hearing me say this, she nodded and said, "The mourning family has fallen to this point, what else is there to say?" If you have any ideas, just tell the mourners. ”

So I said to her: "Actually, Zhen'er's idea is very simple, Niang Niang can think that Zhen'er is bold, and Zhen'er wants to say what she thinks in her heart." In fact, Niang Niang can design to marry Zhen'er to the emperor, and Zhen'er will definitely have a way to capture the emperor's heart at that time. ”

"What? Promise you to the emperor? When she heard what I said, she was stunned, and she pointed at me for a long time without speaking.

"Yes, Zhen'er has this kind of thought, Niang Niang may think that Zhen'er is a little old, but Zhen'er feels that age is not a problem, the most important thing is that after Zhen'er arrives at the emperor's side, everything will be in the interests of Niang Niang, and everything will think about Niang Niang first. Zhen'er can help Niangniang say a lot of good things in front of the emperor to envelop the mother-son relationship between the emperor and Niangniang. ”

I originally thought that the Empress Dowager Zhou would be moved when she heard my words at this time, but who knew that after the Empress Dowager Zhou heard it, the whole person was stunned, she was stunned for a long time, and then pointed at me and said to me: "Wan Zhen'er, you should have never heard what you said today, and you will have to mention it again in the future." Yes, the mourning family is indeed very worried about the mother-son relationship with the emperor now, but it has not reached the point of using you, if you are still young and beautiful, then let the mourning family dedicate you to the emperor, but you are now a, and even your age is not a few years younger than the mourning family, dedicate you to the emperor? Isn't it a joke when you say it? In vain let the world laugh at me, and you are not from a good background, you must not forget that you yourself have always been a prostitute. With that, she glared at me fiercely.

I felt the coldness in her eyes, her words hammered my heart like a hammer, all along, I never thought that in her mind, I Wan Zhen'er was such a person.

I, Wan Zhen'er, have been trying my best to help her Empress Dowager Zhou, but I didn't expect that she Empress Dowager Zhou would abandon me immediately, and when she felt that I couldn't help her, she came to me like this, and she also disliked me for being a prostitute, so why let me help her do so many things?

The hatred in my heart poured out layer by layer, but I didn't dare to show it at all, I glanced at her, and said slowly: "Yes, what the Queen Mother taught is that Zhen'er is delusional, Zhen'er is wrong, Zhen'er will never dare to do it in the future, and please forgive the Queen Mother." ”

"Forget it, I know that you are also thinking about the mourning family, and you don't have to mention today's matter, but you don't have to mention this matter again in the future, you know?"

"Zhen'er knows." I lowered my head and said.

Things have come to this point, I know that there is no way to rely on the Empress Dowager Zhou anymore, if I want to win the emperor's favor, I can only rely on myself.

And in this harem, if you want to become a powerful woman, then you must be favored by the emperor, even if you can't get the emperor's favor, you must get a position, otherwise, in this harem, you can only be a palace maid who has been trampled under the feet for a lifetime.

After I had this idea in my heart, I kept an eye on the emperor's every move, but unfortunately it was probably because the Empress Dowager Zhou knew that I had that thought, so she rarely let me get close to the emperor, she was always wary of me, and I had to do a lot of things to make me take me lightly, so that she thought that I was dead to the emperor.

After a few months like this, she slowly lost that kind of mind to me, I knew that the opportunity could come anytime and anywhere, and it was up to me to grasp it, no one else could help me, in this deep palace, only I could help me.

I never dreamed that the opportunity would come so quickly.

On that day, the emperor drank wine, and came to the palace of the Empress Dowager Zhou in high spirits, and said to her: "Queen Mother, I came to you today to tell you something, I want to marry Tang Jingran as the queen." ”

"What do you say? Your queen and I are already helping you choose, why do you want to marry that Jianghu woman as your wife? Didn't I tell you? Your marriage is not up to you at all, although you are the emperor, so what? In short, don't mention this matter again in the future. ”

"Queen Mother, don't forget, I am the emperor, it is precisely because I am the emperor that you are the queen mother. If there were no me, there would be no queen mother, but why do you embarrass me so much? I just want to marry a woman I love. Do you want to do this to me? Do you have to force your son to death? He cried and made trouble at the Empress Dowager Zhou.

Who knew that the Empress Dowager Zhou was unmoved, the Empress Dowager Zhou just glanced at him coldly and said to him: "Your Majesty, you are still young now, and there are still many things you don't understand." You don't really like that Jianghu woman, so you want to marry her, it's just that you were confused by her for a while, I believe that in the future, after you marry the queen, you will soon forget about her, so there is no need to mention this matter again in the future. No one will agree to you marrying that Jianghu woman, not even the eldest princess. ”

"But the queen mother, I really like her, I really want to marry her, so I beg you as a son, okay? And I'm the emperor, I'll have the final say. ”

"Yes, you are indeed the emperor, and you have the final say, but in this harem matter, you can't help but ask the queen mother and the eldest princess of the two palaces, right? If everyone disagrees, and only you agree, do you think you can marry her? In short, no one needs to mention this matter again. Okay, the mourning family feels a little tired today, so you can go back first. Empress Dowager Zhou said to the emperor.

The Emperor must have been angry, because I saw him go, his eyes were bloodshot and bloody, and I could understand his feelings.

Once upon a time, I was rejected by Yu Mian, and I was so sad in my heart, I don't think Yu Mian will know how sad I am in my heart for the rest of my life.

The emperor finally left, when he left, I could see that he was very angry, when he walked to the palace gate, he was still pounding the stone lion in front of the palace gate with his hand, after seeing this situation, I slowly felt that the opportunity had come.

After the emperor walked out, the Empress Dowager Zhou was so angry that she said in a loud voice: "I really don't know what is good about that woman, but the emperor is so infatuated with her, and the mourning family is angry when they think of it." ”

I hurriedly said to her: "Niangniang, in fact, you shouldn't be angry with the emperor now, if you are angry with the emperor, who do you think will benefit in the end?" ”

After hearing me say this, Empress Dowager Zhou turned her face sharply, looked at me with sharp eyes and said, "Wan Zhen'er, what do you mean by this?" ”

I hurriedly knelt down and said to her: "Niangniang, Zhen'er is actually all for the Queen Mother, Hello, Niangniang, have you ever thought about it?" Now the Queen Mother has two palaces, and the Queen Mother Qian, if the emperor is not close to you, won't he be close to the Queen Mother Qian, does the mother want to see this situation? ”

After hearing me say this, she was stunned for a moment, and she didn't say anything for a long time, and after a long time, she said slowly: "Yes, you have a point, if the emperor is not close to the palace, then sooner or later he will go to get close to the Empress Dowager Qian." ”

"So Niangniang shouldn't be so kind to the emperor at this time, treating the emperor like this will only let people take advantage of it, does Niangniang want to do this?"

When Empress Dowager Zhou heard me say this, she really panicked, originally her relationship with the emperor was not very good these days, but now this kind of thing has happened, not to mention how depressed she is.

She looked at me and asked, "What do you think you should do?" How can the mourning family mend the mother-son relationship with him? Do you think the mourning family should agree to him marrying that Jianghu woman as the queen? If that's the case, wouldn't it be ridiculed by the world? ”

I hurriedly shook my head and said: "Of course the Queen Mother can't agree, if the Queen Mother really agrees to let that Jianghu woman be the queen, it will definitely cause the shame of the whole world. It's just that the Queen Mother doesn't have to be so obvious if she doesn't agree, it will make the emperor have a grudge against you. The Queen Mother can think of a way to drag the emperor, and when the time comes, someone will naturally refuse the emperor's request, and the ugly person doesn't have to do it himself. ”

Empress Dowager Zhou listened to my words, probably thinking it was very reasonable, she nodded and said, "Wan Zhen'er, I didn't expect that you are really the right-hand man of the mourning family, there are many things that can help the mourning family." You're right about this, so what do you think the mourning family should do? Since the mourning family had already rejected the emperor just now, and it also made the emperor so angry, no matter what the mourning family said now, I believe the emperor would not listen. ”

I said to her: "The Queen Mother can think about what the emperor has liked most since he was a child." ”

She thought about it for a while, and then said: "Actually, the emperor's favorite soup from childhood to adulthood is the soup cooked by the mourning family, but in this way, the mourning family rarely cooks it." ”

"What kind of soup?"
