Chapter 102: The Law of Survival
"Qianyan, in fact, you don't have to be afraid, the queen mother won't do anything to you. ”
Qin Zhaoling's small voice was still comforting her in her ear.
Mu Qianyan's face was not very good, Qin Zhaoling only thought that she was frightened by her own mother and Imperial Concubine Wan.
Seeing Qin Zhaoling nodding at her to suggest reassurance, Mu Qianyan's five fingers were tightly clenched, her nails sank into her palms, and the pain made her gradually calm down.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Qianyan shook her head lightly, "I'm fine, thank you princess..."
And the words Mu Qianyan just said are still bringing emotion...
The faces of the queen and the princess Wan were full of silence and emotion, at first they didn't want to be inseparable from their husbands as Mu Qianyan said.
But their husband is the Son of Heaven, and it is destined that there will not be only one woman, three palaces and six courtyards, and in the harem, it is not that you can live in peace without fighting or fighting.
If you don't fight or grab, it doesn't mean that others will let you go.
In the harem, there is only one end if you don't fight or fight, and that is death.
After seeing too much of the conspiracy and intrigues, his original intention has long ceased to exist, and after seeing through it, he understands that the only thing that can really be held in his hands is power.
Neither men nor husbands are reliable in terms of power.
This is the law of survival in the harem.
Perhaps it is accurate to say that from the harem to the courtyard of the eunuchs, the rules of survival are the same.
The harem is like a battlefield where there is no gunsmoke, and the backyard of those eunuchs' homes, the battle between wives and concubines, isn't it your life and death?
The queen sighed, glanced sideways at Mu Qianyan, but saw Qin Zhaoling and Mu Qianyan's small movements, a trace of something flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, only took Mu Qianyan's hand, and said in a pitying and loving tone:
"Qianyan, this kid of yours is very similar to this palace, and this palace has the same mind as yours at the beginning. ”
The queen seemed to remember the scene when she was young, holding Mu Qianyan's hand and sighing, as if she was her own daughter.
At the same time, the queen also glanced at Qin Zhaoling, her daughter was a princess, and she was not as clear as this Mu Qianyan.
The queen patted the back of Mu Qianyan's hand affectionately, and smiled a little disappointed, "But Qianyan, you must know that since ancient times, women have married their husbands and married people, and there are many helplessness, and it is a great luck to be favored by their husbands, this man's three wives and four concubines are just ordinary, don't ask people to ride on their heads to not be bullied, Qianyan is so smart, she should understand this truth." ”
At the end, the queen said with a faint sarcasm in her words, and the corner of her eyes glanced at the princess Wan.
Obviously, the queen said this to Mu Qianyan, but more, it was also said to the princess Wan, ridiculing the princess that she didn't want to ride on her head!
Even though Mu Qianyan could understand the meaning behind the queen's words, she only understood the literal meaning, and repeated with a humble and respectful chin, "The courtiers remember the queen's teachings." ”
The queen repeatedly stepped on the low words, how could the princess not hear the mockery in her words?
How could she not fight back?
So the princess smiled very coquettishly, "My sister is right, but this palace thinks that marrying and obeying her husband, taking her husband as the sky, and being able to get her husband's favor is the most important thing.
Princess Wan's return hit was very beautiful!
The queen's face immediately turned cold, and the slut of the princess dared to mock her for not being favored!
The princess smiled, it was called a charming and moving, and the more angry the queen was, the happier she was.
Mu Qianyan listened and watched from the side, sneering in her heart, the queen and the princess Wan were so-for-tat, there was no loss to her.
Who doesn't know that the queen and the princess are rivals!
The two of them competed, and the others, including Mu Qianyan, all lowered their heads very consciously and tacitly, looked at their noses and noses, and looked at their hearts to be deaf and mute.
The queen and the princess, no matter who wins or loses, it is not good for them as courtiers.
Can't see, can't hear, can't laugh, at this time, reducing the sense of presence is the wisest choice.
Seeing that the queen was about to be defeated, at the critical moment, Qin Zhaoling came out of nowhere, and pulled Mu Qianyan very quickly, pulling her behind her.
Qin Zhaoling very obediently sandwiched a roll of delicately made fish dishes into the bowl in front of the queen, "The queen mother tastes this, it's delicious! If the queen mother continues to talk about it, this dish will be cold! The queen mother disciplines the harem on weekdays, and she is already tired, but today is the wedding banquet of the crown prince and royal brother, so the queen mother should not worry about anything else, or try the crown prince's and brother's happy bar first!"
Qin Zhaoling said, and poured a glass of wine for the queen very cleverly.
Seeing that Qin Zhaoling was picking vegetables, pouring wine, and appeasing the queen's busy work, Mu Qianyan raised her eyebrows lightly, and the corners of her mouth showed a vague smile.
It seems that Qin Zhaoling is smarter than she imagined, and knows how to find the queen under the stairs.
and quietly cheered for the queen.
The queen disciplines the harem, and the imperial concubine is also a member of the harem.
Even if she is in the position of the imperial concubine, no matter how you say it, it is not as noble as the queen who is the lord of the harem.
Seeing that Qin Zhaoling is usually out of tune, in fact, Qin Zhaoling is afraid that he is more alert than anyone else.
With Qin Zhaoling saying this, the queen was indeed in a much better mood, and glanced at Qin Zhaoling dotingly, "You, you will make the queen mother happy." ”
She is the master of the harem, and her mother is the world, how can she be compared to the foxy slut of the princess?
This should be placed in an ordinary person's family, and her surname Wan is at most a concubine!
Thinking like this, the queen was suddenly in a good mood, and in a few minutes she regained her majestic and luxurious bearing.
"It's good that the queen mother is happy!"
The queen was happy, and Qin Zhao was naturally happy.
This is like a chain reaction, the queen is in a good mood, but the princess is not very comfortable!
A cold light flashed in her coquettish eyes, and her eyes were a little ruthless when she looked at Qin Zhaoling.
The queen was happy, and the atmosphere warmed up a lot.
However, at this moment, a palace maid hurriedly ran over, shouting:
"The queen is not good...... The Queen... Oh no, sis......"
The queen was in a better mood, but as soon as she heard the palace maid's shout, her face immediately fell.
"Bilian, what's the matter with you girl? Why are you so reckless?
Before the queen got angry, Qin Zhaoling spoke in time to buffer the unhappy atmosphere.
At the same time, Qin Zhaoling also frowned almost invisibly, this Bilian is the palace maid who serves the queen mother closely, and she has always been calm in her work, why is she so flustered? What happened?
Speak without a pause!What is the queen mother?!
Isn't this going to make the queen unhappy again?
Bi Lian also knew that she was reckless, and her words were out of proportion, so she immediately bowed to Qin Zhaoling with gratitude, but the panic on her face did not subside, she swallowed her saliva, and said with a wheez:
"Queen Qi, Mama Gui...... Mama Gui is dead......"
"What are you talking about?!" The queen was shocked when she heard this, and Qin Zhaoling was surprised, and hurriedly helped the queen.
"Back to the queen, Mama Gui... Mama Gui is dead...... "Bi Lian trembled and didn't dare to look up at the queen.
Mu Qianyan listened to Bilian's report on the side, her eyes flickered, she remembered that Mama Gui was the old man who served by the queen's side, if she remembered correctly, then Mama Gui should still be the nurse of the queen's mother.
In other words, Mama Gui is different from other slaves, and in the queen's heart, Mama Gui has a certain weight.
"Who is it? who dares to harm Mama Gui?" Sure enough, the queen's face was quite angry, if it weren't for Qin Zhaoling supporting her, I am afraid she would have to shake three times.
"Don't worry about the queen mother first..."Qin Zhaoling hurriedly comforted the queen, she naturally knew that Mama Gui was more than just a slave to the queen mother.
She never expected that Mama Gui would die?
Qin Zhaoling frowned deeply, what happened?
The queen was angry, the momentum was naturally quite scary, she looked at Bi Lian coldly, and her voice trembled slightly, "Where is Mama Gui?"
No one expected this sudden change.
The atmosphere suddenly tense.
Courtiers like Mu Qianyan and them, one by one, were also secretly whispering, and they were very surprised by the news of Mama Gui's death.
Bilian was already frightened by Mama Gui's death, and now the queen looked at her coldly, which scared Bilian even more frightened, and lowered her head for fear that she would accidentally anger the queen and lead to her life!
But, how could Bilian not reply to the queen's question?
So he trembled and said, "Go back to the queen's mother...... Mama Gui... ...... in the lotus pond"
"Go to the lotus pond!" the queen gritted her teeth and squeezed out three words from between her teeth.
Supported by Qin Zhaoling, the queen went to the lotus pond.
There is such a big excitement to see, and it is the excitement of the queen, how can the princess not go?
Imperial Concubine Wan raised her eyebrows and smiled, Mama Gui, who was old and immortal, helped the queen in the past, and made her suffer a lot of losses!
She wanted to go and see who killed Mama Gui, which was really happy.
Mu Qianyan thought about it for a while, and then decided to follow and take a look.
She had a vague hunch that this matter was not so simple.
Lotus Pond, isn't that where she met Qin Hanyu just now?
"Miss Mu. ”
As soon as Mu Qianyan took a step, someone stopped her.
She looked back and saw a slightly familiar face.
"Miss Mu doesn't mind if I go with you, right?"
A girl in a light green dress walked up to her.
Mu Qianyan squinted her eyes slightly, she remembered, this girl was Miss Yan from Shangshu Mansion?
Call... It's called Zhang Dielan!
When she entered the palace before, Zhang Dielan also helped her taunt Mu Ziqing.
Zhang Dielan wants to go with her to see Mama Gui's death?
Mu Qianyan glanced behind without a trace, and it seemed that the other daughters didn't plan to see the 'lively'.
I must know that Mama Gui will be a trip to troubled waters, and I don't want to join in the fun, right?
What about this Dielan? Others avoid it, but she wants to go and see the excitement?
You must know that the excitement of the queen is not something that anyone can watch.
