Chapter Twenty-Three: After the Recital

In May, a number of concubines were promoted.

Concubine Xiao of the Hundred Flowers Palace, Xiao Liwei was promoted to Concubine Xiao Shu, Yi Zhaoyi of Huaqing Palace, Yu Lingluo was promoted to Concubine Yi, Wei Xiurong of Liangchen Palace was Zhaorong, and Su Chongrong and Su Huanyin of Chunshui Pavilion of Wangyue Palace were promoted to Su Xiurong.

In addition to Concubine Yi, the other three have heirs, and now these people are the most favored in the harem, in addition to these few people, there are also Song Xiuyuan and Jing Xiuyuan who can share a little holy favor.

As for the pear ling, since he was grounded at the beginning of the year, he has not seen Dong Qilin again, even at the ceremony of sealing the emperor's concubine, Li Ling has only seen Dong Qilin from afar, so although Li Ling is the highest position in the harem, she has faintly "fallen out of favor".

However, Li Ling has long been dead to Dongqi, and now she doesn't have to deal with Dongqilin, she teaches Le'er every day, teases An'er, and is happy.

Chengqian Palace

"You mean she's having a good time every day?" Dong Qilin sat on the dragon chair, happy and angry.

"The imperial concubine Niangniang is either playing with the fifth princess every day, or hugging the eighth prince, or reading books and practicing calligraphy, the slave maid feels that the imperial concubine's mentality is still very good." The people standing below felt that the Son of Heaven on the dragon chair didn't seem to be very happy to see the imperial concubine having a happy life, so they considered the words and only said that the imperial concubine's mentality was good.

"It seems that even without me, she is doing well!" Dong Qilin's voice was cloudy, obviously very dissatisfied with this result.

The man below didn't dare answer.

"That's it," Dong Qilin sighed again, "That's fine! ”

After that, Dong Qilin felt a little lost, although he knew that such a result was already good, but he was not very comfortable, as if he was a dispensable person to Liling.

He was reluctant to admit such a fact.

"Go back! The safety of the imperial concubine, the fifth princess and the eighth prince will be handed over to you, if something happens to them, the consequences do not need to be said, you also know! Dong Qilin said solemnly, and there was no lack of threat in his tone.

Even if the people standing below were threatened, they did not panic, and she had to experience such a threat almost once a month, and it was no longer painful.

After a long time, Li Ling knew that if it weren't for the protection of Dong Qilin, she would have known how many times she had gone to the underworld to cast a fetus.

On May 18, news came out from Huaqing Palace that Concubine Yi was pregnant!

Since Liling was pregnant last year, there have been no more concubines in the harem for more than a year, and Concubine Yi's pregnancy is quite eye-catching.

I heard that the emperor has promised Concubine Yi that as long as she gives birth to a prince, she will be promoted to Concubine Yi Guifei! Concubine Yi will become the head of the four concubines, surpass Concubine Xiao Shu, and become the second person in the harem under the pear ling!

At this time, there was a matter of courtiers playing the post.

Of course, the courtiers who want the emperor to be established are mainly in the line of the Chengen Mansion.

Because since Concubine Yi became pregnant, there have been more people who have come to the door to stammer, and there is a faint appearance of becoming another faction in the harem. After the death of the Queen Mother, there were some people who followed the Queen Mother before and took refuge in Concubine Yi, after all, Concubine Yi was the niece of the Queen Mother, and she was in the same vein as the Queen Mother.

Therefore, the Chengen Mansion struck while the iron was hot, and asked for the post.

With the Cheng'en Mansion taking the lead, many courtiers followed suit.

As for the candidates for the future, there are three, one is Concubine Yi, the second is Concubine Xiao Shu, and the other is Liling.

Today's harem can almost be divided into four factions, one faction is headed by Liling, with Wei Zhaorong, Xia Xiuyi, Jing Xiuyuan, Meng Xiuyuan and others; One faction is headed by Concubine Xiao, with Wang Zhaoyuan, Song Xiuyuan and others; There is also Concubine Yi's faction, including Su Xiurong, Fang Cairen and others; In the end, there are those neutral concubines, no one can be offended, no one is close, mainly Concubine Li Xian, Concubine Ning and others, but compared to Concubine Xiao Shu and Concubine Yi, Concubine Li Xian and Concubine Ning are still closer to Li Ling in private.

Besides, Concubine Ning is the person who was inserted by Li Jingzong, and in a certain way, she is also the person of Li Ling.

No matter from which point of view, the winning chance of the imperial concubine is relatively large, but the pear girl doesn't want to be a queen at all, so she doesn't arrange anyone to support her at all, so compared to Concubine Xiao Shu and Concubine Yi, the voice of the pear is the smallest.

Dong Qilin had no intention of establishing the queen, but the things after the establishment became more and more intense, and Dong Qilin has been busy gathering the power of the Queen Mother and Li Jingzong recently, and he didn't want to talk to these courtiers about the establishment of the queen at all.

Therefore, Dong Qilin said that the matter of the future will be discussed after Concubine Yi gives birth to a child.

This is simply equivalent to saying that as long as Concubine Yi gives birth to a prince, Concubine Yi will be made the queen!

With the emperor's guarantee, Cheng Engong will no longer be entangled in the matter of the queen, otherwise it will be counterproductive if he provokes the emperor's dislike.

Without Cheng Engong taking the lead, the other courtiers would not be able to make trouble.

After hearing Dong Qilin's attitude on the matter of the establishment of the queen, Pear Ling was sneering.

This is just Dong Qilin's procrastination, the position of the queen, Dong Qilin probably only wants to give him the green plum - Li Qingge, but Li Qingge is dead, so the queen's position has been vacant. If Dong Qilin really wants to stand up, is it easy to wait until now?

It seems that Dong Qilin's love for Concubine Yi is not enough, and the news that Concubine Yi will be established after giving birth to the prince is undoubtedly putting Concubine Yi on the opposite side of all concubines and becoming a thorn in the side of the harem women.

If this is also a favor, then she is really lucky, without the favor of Dong Qilin!

It seems that the emperor must be dissatisfied with the things that the Chengen Mansion forced to set up, so he will set such a trap. Besides, what the emperor said was that Concubine Yi would discuss the matter after giving birth to the prince, not to mention whether Concubine Yi could give birth to a child safely, even if Concubine Yi gave birth to a child safely, who knows if it must be the prince, even if she gave birth to the prince smoothly, the emperor only said that he would consider the matter of the queen, and did not say that he must make Concubine Yi the queen!

Since the death of the Queen Mother, the Chengen Mansion has not been as good as before, and it was actually sent away by the emperor in three or two sentences.

Hundred Flower Palace

Unfortunately, the Hundred Flowers Palace was broken a lot of things.

"I actually want to make that slut the queen! Are you worthy of my sincerity?! Dong Qilin, are you worthy of me! Concubine Xiao Shufei scolded while throwing things.

The palace people in the house had already withdrawn, only Pin Lan was guarding the door, and Pin Zhu was standing on Concubine Xiao Shufei's side, afraid that Concubine Xiao Shu would hurt herself.

Pinlan listened to Concubine Xiao Shufei's abuse in the room, and looked around vigilantly, afraid that these rebellious words would be listened to by others.

"Didn't I give birth to you, why did you wait for Concubine Yi to give birth to a child and then make her the queen! I love you so much, you want to give the queen to someone else! Concubine Xiao's voice was a little hysterical, and she slowly cried later.

When Concubine Xiao Shufei smashed enough things and used up her strength, she sat down on the ground and cried in a low voice, so she was not miserable.

"Have you forgotten our old affection? Is it all fake that you like me? Concubine Xiao asked herself, tears flowing.

When Concubine Xiao Shufei had cried enough, she wiped her tears fiercely, and the sadness and fragility just now were completely gone, replaced by firmness and strong hatred.

"Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust!"
