Concubine Yi and the palaces and courtyards, but they are general friends, they can nod their heads and bow politely, turn their backs, no one really takes her seriously, when it matters now, it is difficult to think about her no matter whether it is good or bad, after all, Concubine Yi has always been in the eyes of everyone, but she is dependent on the existence of Concubine Hui, and now Concubine Hui is closed and takes the initiative to isolate herself from the harem, and Concubine Yi's situation is suddenly a little up and down.

She thought to herself, I'm afraid that no one here will recommend her in front of the imperial concubine, seeing that the concubines are showing favor to Concubine De, and they are secretly hating these women with red and white, who would have thought that Concubine De would stand in front of her, pointing at herself personally, and said with a polite smile: "I have heard Sister Concubine Hui say that Sister Concubine Yi has always been capable, but she is only tied up by the princess under her knees, and she can't be useful, and now that the brothers have grown up, it is time to let her sister show her skills and share her worries for the emperor and her mother." ”

Someone in the seat seemed to be unconvinced, and a voice said: "The little princess who Zhang promised to give birth to is raised in Yikun Palace, and she is still breastfeeding." ”

Lan Qi glanced at the crowd, that appearance of not being angry and threatening, it was the momentum that had never been seen in the eyes of everyone before, her eyes swept over a few people, and they were so frightened that they lowered their eyes to avoid their sight, Lan Qi was not in a hurry to find Xing'er in the crowd, and said casually: "Zhang promised to take care of the little princess in Yikun Palace, it's not difficult, right?" ”

A familiar figure flashed in the crowd, in the end, it was a favored concubine, although she was only in the agreement, but the clothes worn by Xing'er were better than the unpleasant nobles on the side, although she had been removed at the moment, but in order to express her mourning and missing, there were few bright and charming dresses in the palace, and the same was true for Zhang Promise. But even so, she still spent a lot of effort, and her clothes were green, and she was a little worthy of the eyes of the noble people of Juezen.

Everyone looked at Zhang Promise, and they all spoke ear to ear, Concubine Yi seemed to be frightened by Concubine De's actions on the side, and she didn't know how to speak, but Zhang Promise was very clever, and she blessed her body, and she didn't look at Concubine De seriously, and said to herself: "The concubine should do anything for Concubine Yi, just take care of the little princess, violate the rules of the palace, and the concubine can't afford it in her heart." ”

These words look respectful, but in fact, between the words are the arrogance of the concubine, to say that Concubine De has been tireless in favor over the years, and she has never seen her like this in front of people, everyone secretly feels that it is really with Concubine Yi, and her words and deeds have learned a little arrogant and arrogant, no wonder such a person, Yonghe Palace can't stay, and Jingyang Palace can't be closed.

Duan Concubine seemed to be still angry at Zhang Jia's betrayal of Concubine Rong, and seeing her arrogant and rude at this moment, she couldn't help but say coldly: "In our palace, the powerful ones are not serious masters now, look at Zhang promised these few words, those who don't know should be instigated by Concubine Yi, so that she is disrespectful to others." ”

Concubine Yi saw that when she mentioned herself, her face was extremely ugly, and she was okay with the concubine, but the concubine was a senior concubine in the palace, and she was somewhat obstructed by decency and politeness on weekdays, and now she was asked to refute at the moment, but she couldn't open her mouth, her face was red and white for a while, and she could only scold Zhang and promise: "Be careful to speak, who wants you to weigh the matter here, how do you naturally tell the girls, how do you do it." ”

Zhang agreed, but he didn't know what to rely on, and he dared to accuse Concubine De in person, and said: "Concubine De seems to be kind and generous to ask you to do things, but the concubine doesn't sound polite at all, like the princess of the elder brother in our Yikun Palace, who doesn't want anyone to take care of her." ”

"Shut up, what evil is here to talk nonsense." Concubine Yi was a little anxious, pointed to Taohong beside her and said, "Zhang promised to take her back when she was tired." ”

Taohong hurriedly came up to invite, while the imperial concubine had not lost her temper, she insisted on taking the chapter down with her, there was more gossip in the palace, it was rare that the imperial concubine had not been angry, and Concubine De saw that it was like this, and she also asked the mother to be happy: "It is the concubine's negligence, and the sister of the concubine also has something that cannot be freed, it seems that this matter has to be decided by the mother." ”

To say that the imperial concubine sat on the top and watched these farces, she was thinking about why Concubine De didn't take over, and she didn't care about the rudeness of Zhang's promise, she originally thought, find an opportunity to be open and honest, so that everyone can convincingly push Concubine De to the position of the assistant sixth palace, originally the Empress Dowager put her in Cining Palace for training, sooner or later it is for this day, now that she is in good health, the Empress Dowager's affairs are over, why didn't she fulfill the old man's wish and support the harem for her to be the emperor?

The imperial concubine thought of it herself, lowered her head and promised to be arrogant, but she didn't care much, and at this moment, seeing Lan Qi once again emphasizing that she wanted her to decide, she said lazily and impatiently: "It's good for you to discuss an idea together, otherwise when you get out of the door of Chengqian Palace, it's time to arrange for me to get power for my own purposes, right?" ”

Everyone got up and said they didn't dare, and they sat down and stood firm, each other, you look at me, I look at you, Concubine Rong saw that the scene was deadlocked, she sighed in her heart, and asked Concubine Yi with a soft face: "Sister does it work?" ”

Concubine Yi was a little undecided, she wanted to taste the taste of being in power in the palace, even if she knew that it was just a decent look, but it was actually just a trivial matter of oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but Concubine Hui did a good job, full of the posture of an imperial concubine, and she didn't want to always make people feel that she was an idler who ate white food, but now she was pushed up by Concubine De, and her heart was always not good.

"If my sister is afraid that she can't do it well, it doesn't matter, no one is born with it, I will teach you slowly, not to mention that you cook Yikun Palace very well, and the ninth elder brother and eleven elder brothers are so well educated, you are capable." Concubine Rong said very politely, she understood that since Lan Qi pushed Concubine Yi out, she wouldn't beat her up, no matter why she refused to take over the affairs of the Sixth Palace, she couldn't count on her now.

Concubine Yi smiled embarrassedly, and said to the imperial concubine Niangniang: "The concubine has always been rough, if there is any deficiency in the future, please bear with the concubine, the concubine will devote herself to learning from Sister Rong, not seeking merit but seeking no fault." ”

Concubine Yi said this, it can be regarded as a promise, from now on she will cooperate with Concubine Rong to deal with the affairs of the six palaces, although the power is still in the hands of the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine has never bothered to ask, in the future, Concubine Yi has to deal with a lot of things, and even a lot of silver, it has to pass through her hands before it flows everywhere, and she has been watching Concubine Hui manage it coldly, and now she finally has the opportunity to taste the taste of power.

"That's it." The imperial concubine was very impatient, and was curious why Lan Qi refused to accept her arrangement, now the situation in the palace, as long as Concubine De herself does not bring it up today, everyone understands that she wants to give this position to Yonghe Palace, she can't understand it in her heart, so she ordered, "It's all gone, Concubine De, pay attention, there are some things in Cining Palace, I want to discuss with you here." ”

Everyone said yes, and left after saluting, Juechan nobles and Yi promised to walk behind, and Yi promised to say softly: "It's still good to be Concubine De, Concubine Yi looks very unreliable, and Concubine Rong will work hard in the future." ”

Juezen nobles smiled and did not speak, and waited for the two to walk back to Yanxi Palace together, before they were about to enter the door, and someone ran behind them, it was the little eunuch in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, saying that Niangniang invited Juezen nobles to sit down.

I didn't expect Concubine De to stay in Chengqian Palace for a short time, I don't know who was impatient with whom, and left in the blink of an eye, when the noble people came to Yonghe Palace, Concubine De Niangniang had already stood in front of the door to wash her hands, and after washing her hands, she was going to go to the house of the fourteenth elder brother, and said to her: "Come together." ”

After watching Concubine De hugging the fourteenth elder brother and coaxing, the noble Juezen took the initiative to ask: "Does the mother have something to order?" ”

"It's nothing, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I can't talk well when I see you in Chengqian Palace, so I'm just free, so I'll let you come and sit." Lan Qi said very politely, the fourteenth elder brother had just finished feeding, and was holding him to burp, Lan Qi dangled around, and said casually, "Concubine Hui is like this now, can you be satisfied?" ”

The faint laughter was remembered in the room, and the noble man said, "Far from enough. ”

Lan Qi felt a slight chill on her back, but she quickly figured out that it was indeed far from enough. The emperor didn't kill Mingzhu, and he didn't understand his hatred, but Xuan Ye was able to do this, whether it was for the government or for her and the sixth elder brother, it was not easy.

But now Mingzhu is only dismissed, that day she said to Concubine Rong that the hundred-legged insect is dead and not stiff, but also understands that the Mingzhu faction will not be so easily defeated, yesterday in Ningshou Palace heard what the Queen Mother said to Mama, the Queen Mother actually only saw through half of it, the other half of the matter, it must be that the emperor will not easily defeat the huge power of Mingzhu, because the complete fall of Mingzhu means that the power of the Hesheri clan will cover the sky with one hand, and they support the prince and prince, which is the biggest provocation to the imperial power.

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and the crown prince is only the prince after all, even if it is his biological father and son, even if it has been decided that the prince will inherit Datong in the future, when the emperor is still there, the prince cannot show the slightest covetousness for the imperial power.

Lan Qi has been reading a lot of books for more than ten years, even if those books are idle books in Xuan Ye's eyes, and there are these truths in the stories of laughter and scolding, not to mention that there are no less serious books, she has long understood that the supremacy of imperial power throughout the ages is something that no one can shake and covet, and there is no more embarrassing existence than the prince in the world.

All of this means that the forces behind the eldest brother will not collapse from now on, in the court, the emperor uses the power conflict of the ministers to let them check and balance each other, maybe one day, maybe even maybe it has been like this, for the adult princes, he will do the same, the best way to curb their * expansion is not the unilateral suppression of the father, but the containment between brothers.

It's just that these things, even if I think about it in my heart, I feel helpless and even sad, Lan Qi hugged the fourteenth elder brother in her arms, remembering Concubine Rong's sentence that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, she is indeed innocent, but the in-law relationship that the emperor contacted for her family is not so simple.

Seeing that Concubine De was distracted, the nobles of Juezen were worried that their words would scare her, and further explained: "The momentum of Concubine Hui, relying on the ups and downs of the pearl, the future of the pearl is still inconclusive, she is just waiting for the opportunity to regain her strength, and she will be willing to converge at this time." As he spoke, he asked Concubine De, "Did Niangniang also think of this, so she didn't fight for the right to associate with the Six Palaces for a while, and she was worried that Concubine Hui would regain her strength another day and compete with you?" ”

Lan Qi shook her head and said with a smile: "I also explained to the imperial concubine Niangniang, I am not indisputable, nor am I afraid of Concubine Hui's fighting, but I want to be idle for a few more days, and let Concubine Yi see the reality by the way." It is better to see that it is not difficult to bear the burden of people, let her know the taste, and retreat in the future, than if she has turned her back on people and said that we bullied her, and did not take her as one of the four concubines seriously. ”

The noble man of Juezen bowed his head and said: "The things in the palace are indeed not done well by everyone. ”

Lan Qi couldn't help but sigh when she saw that her heart was like water, sat down with the fourteenth elder brother in her arms, and said kindly: "Actually, I have something to say to you, you must be annoying to me in your heart, but I am kind." You see that Changchun Palace is like this now, is it okay for you to leave the eighth elder brother there? ”

The noble man of Juezen smiled bitterly: "Niangniang is very interested in the eighth elder brother. ”

Lan Qi shook her head: "I'm afraid that you will regret it in the future." ”
