Chapter 284: Prelude to Trouble
"Queen Mother, what do you say the emperor has in mind? From the beginning of the departure to the present, why is no one called, only Concubine Zhao is pampered?" Ulan Tuya sat in the queen mother's luan car, and asked the queen mother on the side a little unwillingly, although she was arrogant, she also knew that the emperor did not like her, otherwise she would not have been able to accept favor since she entered the palace, and even this part has been staying on the noble person and cannot go further.
"Ulan Tuya, don't worry, the mourning family has waited for so many years to turn over and become the mistress of this harem, you are still young, and there are still a lot of opportunities, and whether it is the mourning family or the Mongolian ministries, it is impossible to watch you being snubbed by the emperor. It's just that the situation is not as good as before, and some things need to be replanned, so don't be impatient. The Empress Dowager closed her eyes and leaned on the cushion, how could she not know the news in the palace, but she knew in her heart that now was not the time to make a move, after all, the impact of what happened to the Empress Dowager before had not yet been completely eliminated, she didn't want to arouse the emperor's impression of this matter at this moment, let alone let this trip to Mulan be overshadowed.
Ulan Tuya leaned against the wall of the car, her body swayed with the frame, and her heart, which was originally appeased by the empress dowager, was shaken again, and the empress dowager said the same thing before, and even repeatedly plotted for her, but the fact is that the empress dowager's plan was useless in the end, and finally took her own.
Yes, although Ulan Tuya has no doubts about the death of the Empress Dowager, she knows in her heart that it is too passive to always wait for others to plan for her, after all, even if the emperor is really persuaded by them, she can't keep people.
"Queen Mother, even if I'm not in a hurry, but I always have to know the emperor's preferences, otherwise I can't keep it until you find a way to make the emperor nod, wouldn't it be a joke!" Ulan Tuya thought a little frustratedly, she realized that she seemed to be busy cooperating with the actions of the Empress Dowager and others since she entered the palace, and she hadn't learned about the emperor's preferences at all, so it was no wonder that the emperor didn't like her.
The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned when she heard this, and smiled as if she had suddenly realized: "This is the mistake of the mourning family, the mourning family only wants to let the emperor compromise, but forgets to keep the emperor's heart and ultimately depends on your own ability?" The Empress Dowager is gone, and the mourning family is old, and the future can only rely on you, so Ulan Tuya, no matter what method you use, you have to give birth to an elder brother with Horqin blood. ”
Ulan Tuya was stunned when she heard this, her eyes flickered, she remembered the expectations of the whole clan for herself at the beginning of her entry into the palace, and also remembered the earnest instructions of the Empress Dowager at that time, thinking of this, she couldn't help but close her eyes and said: "What the Queen Mother said is that Ulan Tuya entered the palace with a mission, so before completing the mission, Ulan Tuya should not give up lightly." After realizing her negativity, she quickly began to adjust her mentality, after all, whether it was for the sake of her people or herself, she could not give up, and giving up meant that she would be lost to everyone else, and there would be no future for her.
Although she has not been in the palace for a long time, she has been in the palace for so long, and some things are more or less clear to her. After seeing the scenery of others, how can she accept her own embarrassment. The death of the Empress Dowager made her understand that the Empress Dowager was not merciful to her, and the Empress Dowager seemed to have done something wrong, so that the Empress Dowager was very dissatisfied with her, and although she was deeply affected, if the Empress Dowager was there to help her, she should be able to get a little chance......
The queen mother glanced at her, and saw that her emotions slowly calmed down, and nodded secretly in her heart, if she was really so calm, she would definitely ask Horqin to send another show girl into the palace when she went to Mulan this time, of course, even if she figured it out, she had to instruct the clansmen to re-train a show girl, not to mention that she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, at least she could learn a few skills of Concubine Zhao, and when the draft came, she didn't believe that she couldn't attract the emperor's attention.
Compared with the Queen Mother's other thoughts and Ulan Tuya's gains and losses, the concubine's guard of honor was obviously filled with a hint of joy.
"The old slave congratulates Niangniang, congratulates Niangniang, this time Mulan is in autumn, the emperor has so many concubines who don't choose, but he named Niangniang, it can be seen that the emperor still values the master in his heart!"
"Mama will say good things to coax the palace to be happy, who doesn't know that the emperor is thinking about only Concubine Zhao, this palace can accompany this time or rely on the blessing that was neglected before, after all, there are enough people in this harem who have been favored, and Niu Colu Guifei and others don't want to cultivate another favored concubine. A sneer flashed on the concubine's face, and she knew in her heart that it was pure luck that she could accompany her, after all, if there are two sisters in this palace who enter the palace together, only one can come forward, just as she became a concubine, her concubine can only become a nobleman, but now everything is different, she fell out of favor and her concubine was favored, and now she is pregnant again, it is really hard to say how it will be in the future, it may be like this, Niu Colu Guifei dares to rest assured that her name will be called!
The smile on Shang Mama's face stiffened slightly when she heard this, and then she hurriedly persuaded in a low voice: "Why should Niangniang be humble? Who in this palace has no ups and downs, Niangniang is still young, and there are five elder brothers, so it is okay to want to regain favor." On this trip to Mulan, although the emperor ordered Concubine Zhao to accompany her, who can guarantee that the emperor will not let Niangniang sleep. ”
Before all kinds of Mama Shang didn't want to talk about it anymore, before she offered a plan to let Guo Guiren help pull the strings, who knew that Guo Guiren suddenly entered the emperor's eyes, even if she was cheeky and begged to come to the door, Guo Guiren was afraid that she was not willing to share her favor, and soon after Guo Guiren was successfully pregnant again, Mama Shang couldn't beat her idea anymore. Who knows that the peak turns around, this trip to Mulan, Niu Colu Guifei actually mistakenly named her mother's name, and Mama Shang was thinking about helping the concubine to return to favor as quickly as possible from the moment she set off.
Mama Shang's words reminded the concubine in a certain way, she herself is not willing to lag behind, if she really has no chance at all, she may still be able to accept her fate, but even God is willing to give her this opportunity, she naturally can't give up lightly, as for her good sister, what if she is pregnant? It is not certain to give birth to a boy or a girl, and even if she gives birth to an elder brother, who can guarantee that she will be able to support her.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation in the harem was too thrilling, she was weak and couldn't guarantee Yinqi's safety at all, so why would she send the child to the queen mother. Even if the situation in the palace is much clearer than before, who can guarantee that the emperor is at the helm, others will definitely not make a move, and there is never a shortage of adventurous people in this world!
"Mama is right, no matter how much Concubine Zhao has to be favored, she can't be spoiled and favored, otherwise there is no need for the palace to make a move, the queen mother will not agree to the first one, I didn't see the little nobleman from Horqin, where is the queen mother going, the intention is clear-eyed, people can see at a glance, the palace thinks that even if the emperor is to avoid being forced to be pampered by the queen mother, it is better to turn around and turn over the brand of the palace. When the concubine said this, her tone was a little sneering but also a little self-deprecating, and that sad appearance made Mama Shang can't help but dare not speak.
Although in Mama Shang's opinion, as long as she can be favored, no matter what the method is, it is a good way. It's a pity that only these slaves can see through it, and these ladies in the harem may not be able to see through it. Her own mother also thought about the emperor, otherwise she would not have cried secretly because of the emperor's coldness.
"Niangniang, don't be presumptuous, if the emperor really has no affection for Niangniang at all, even if Niu Colu Guifei is willing to mention Niangniang's name, the emperor can't make it if he doesn't agree. Moreover, this harem has always been much higher and lower, if Niangniang really wants to take this seriously, then Niangniang will really lose. Mama Shang looked at the concubine with some seriousness.
When the concubine heard this, she couldn't help but look at the window, although there was a curtain blocking it, she could vaguely see the scenery outside. It's just that it's been half a month since I've been out of Beijing, and I'm tired of seeing the best scenery, so does that mean that no matter how beautiful the beauty is, she has to change her taste after seeing it for a long time?
"Along the way, the emperor favored Concubine Zhao alone, and even the fourth child who was fostered under Concubine Zhao's name also got a lot of attention, I don't know if the prince will care about this?" Although Concubine Shu's words were vague, but Mama Shang on the side heard it brightly, she was not afraid of her own mother making trouble, she was afraid that her mother would be depressed, and now it is just right, it can provoke chaos, then it proves that there will be an opportunity.
"Niangniang's meaning is understood by the old slave, and everything is still reassuring to Niangniang. Mama Shang smiled and took the initiative to take the matter on herself.
Don't look at the fact that they didn't bring too many people out on this trip, but sometimes some things don't require too many people, and just a few plausible words can achieve their goals. After all, interests and things have always been moving, who said that someone must come to the door to snatch it in order to make people vigilant.
"Then there's Mama Lao. When the concubine heard the meaning of Mama Shang's words, she couldn't help but feel in a good mood, and the trace of negativity in her eyes slowly dissipated at this moment.
"What the mother said, this is what the old slave should do. Seeing this, Mama Shang secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and then looked at the appearance of the concubine closing her eyes and recuperating her mind, and couldn't help but be glad that her mother had finally regained her previous shrewdness, and at the same time, she was also glad that she could accompany her smoothly this time, otherwise she was afraid that she would have to wait for a long time to wait for her mother to cheer up.
Mama Shang is a confidant cultivated by Guo Luoluo's family, and it stands to reason that she should put the interests of Guo Luoluo's family first, as for the concubine and Guo Guiren, they should not be separated from each other, just look at who has more potential. In the past, the concubine was dissatisfied with the emperor and was snubbed, which caused Guo Luoluo's family to be very uneasy and dissatisfied, and even many people switched to Guo Guiren's camp, but Mama Shang decided that the concubine had more potential, so she has persisted until now.
The current result is good, of course, if the concubine and Guo Guiren can open the knot and work together to envelop the emperor, it would be better, but unfortunately the two sisters are not compatible, from entering the palace to the present, not to mention the nest, but they are not separated, such a result really broke her heart, but she really felt helpless.
But just when Mama Shang was thinking about how to start, the frame suddenly stopped, and the concubine opened her eyes, stretched out her hand and lifted the curtain on the side to look at the sky, and found that she had neither arrived at the palace nor the time to set up camp, why did she stop, listening to the noise in front of her, she couldn't help but change her face, and then ordered the servants to come forward to inquire what was going on......
