In the Tai'an Palace, Wang Cen, as usual, respectfully entered the Tai'an Palace, greeted the emperor, lowered his head, although his posture was as usual, the pupils in his eyes seemed to be a little anxious.

Wang Cen was waiting for Long Xiang to speak, wondering in his heart if this had something to do with Wang Yi.

"Elder Wang, lately, Taiping has been not thin on you. Long Xiang said.

"Why did the emperor speak like this? “

Long Xiang smiled and said: "The widow has just ascended the throne, if there is no care from Wang Lao, how can he get to this point, this is all the credit of Wang Lao." “

"The emperor is polite, this is what a courtier should do. Wang Cen bowed again in fear.

Long Xiang looked at Wang Cen's appearance, as if he didn't mean to enter the topic, and continued: "Actually, the Wang family is also a big business, if there is no previous intention of Wang Ge Lao to commit treason and overthrow Taiping, there will be no decline, what does Wang Lao think?"

"The old minister should serve the peace, and he dare not have the heart of treason. “

"Hahaha, Elder Wang, don't worry, widow, it's just a sudden sigh, and he doesn't mean anything else. At this time, you are called here for the eighth day of the next month. The widow plans to draft a decree to let Wang Yu be in charge of the sacrifice of the harem, what does Elder Wang think?" Long Xiang said with a smile.

Wang Cen was a little surprised and said: "Wang Yu? Wang Yu has just entered the palace, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this important responsibility. “

Long Xiang thought for a while and said: "Wang Yu is talented and intelligent, and he applies to read poetry books, but what Wang Lao said is also right, after all, when he first entered the harem, it is safer for the widow to be handed over to Wang Jue." “

Wang Cen nodded and said: "The emperor's birthday, there is a link to sacrifice to the sky, the previous five years Wang Jue was only a concubine, all of them were organized by Si Lifu, although this is generally done by the queen, in order to prevent mistakes, the old minister still suggested that Si Lifu send someone to co-organize." “

"What Wang Lao said makes sense, Wang Jue was promoted to a concubine, although there is a difference with the queen, it is also the highest in the harem, and she presides over it, no one should have an opinion, so be it, the rest of the things, I'm afraid I will have to bother Wang Lao. “

"This, the old minister has nothing to shirk. “

After Wang Cen retreated, his heart was still unstable for a long time, why did Long Xiang have to discuss this matter with him? Except that Wang Jue and Wang Yu are members of the Wang family, this whole matter has nothing to do with him.

Before getting into the carriage, Liu Gong, who was guiding Wang Cen, said openly: "Elder Wang, now one of the women of the Wang family is a concubine and the other is a concubine, all of which are the credit of Lord Wang Cen. “

Wang Cen looked back at the somewhat familiar Liu Gonggong and said, "Are you?"

Gonggong Liu said with a flattering smile: "The slave is the little eunuch who served Wang Yin before, when Wang Yin rebelled, the emperor was merciful and spared the life of the villain, but he could only do these rough jobs." “

Only then did Wang Cen recognize it, and said with a smile: "Alas, yes." Wang Ge Lao's rebellion was indeed a great blow to the Wang family, and now Wang Jue is a concubine, Wang Yu is a concubine, and the efforts of the Wang family's descendants have made the Wang family rise again. It's not easy. “

"This birthday, the harem has always had troubles, after five years of peace, Jue Concubine raised the honorific title again, presumably, Jue Concubine Niangniang has a great hope of becoming the queen. “

"This, it's hard to say, although Concubine Jue is favored, she still needs to be restrained in order to cultivate the queen's body. Anyway, the old man still has something to do, so he will leave first. “

"Elder Wang walked slowly. “

Mingfang Palace

Wang Xi came to Mingfang Palace to announce his will, and asked the concubines to carry out the sacrificial activities of the harem with the cooperation of Si Lifu. After reading it, he congratulated Wang Jue and left.

Gonggong Liu, who was hiding outside the Mingfang Palace, watched Wang Xi leave, and dragged his rickety body into the Mingfang Palace quickly, calling Yuchun.

Yuchun approached the Mingfang Palace, and in addition to Wang Jue, there were silver beads in it. After a few days of heart-to-heart talking, the two of them have become "friends" who can talk and chat. Yuchun looked at the silver bead beside him with some hesitation, Wang Jue looked at it, and said, "What's the matter, let's say it, Sister Yinzhu is not an outsider." “

That Yuchun hesitated for a long time, and didn't say anything, Wang Jue naturally knew what was not easy to say, and just wanted to speak, Yinzhu opened his mouth first: "My sister suddenly felt unwell, go back first, sister, please be busy first." “

"Okay, sister, take care. Wang Jue smiled and nodded. After Yinzhu left, Na Yuchun said to Wang Jue: "Niangniang, Gonggong Liu asks to see you." “

"Father-in-law Liu, which father-in-law Liu?" said Wang Jue.

"It's the little eunuch of Wang Yin before, and the father-in-law Liu who also sent something. After Yuchun reminded him, Wang Jue remembered and asked Yuchun to invite him in.

As soon as Gonggong Liu entered the palace, he patted his ass first, and then said: "Jue Concubine Niangniang, the emperor's priority candidate is not Niangniang, but." “

"And who is it?" Wang Jue frowned after hearing this, looking at the harem, who is still qualified to compete with her for the position of the host of this sacrifice: "Is it difficult, is it that Qi Yan?"

"No, it is. Gonggong Liu looked at Wang Jue apprehensively and said, "It's the Jade Concubine." “

"What. That Wang Jue's roar made Gonggong Liu jump, and hurriedly said: "It was the slave who heard it outside the Tai'an Palace, and when he served Wang Lao and got into the carriage, he also said that although the concubine Jue is favored, she still needs to be restrained in order to cultivate the queen's system." Something like that. Father-in-law Liu quickly finished this long paragraph, and gasped for breath after speaking.

"What. Wang Yu, that's what my uncle said too?" Wang Jue was indignant, and his chest rose and fell.

"Mother, stop your anger. Yuchun said worriedly beside him.

How to calm anger? Wang Jue's heart is actually very clear. In the harem, even if Qi Yan from Qilu is favored, it is impossible to become the queen, and Qiu Yuanyuan has no ability to compete, and there is only one person left who can compete for the queen, and that person is, Wang Yu!

Wang Jue slowly closed his eyes, not noticing at all, the shadow beside him seemed to move, and quickly ran out of the palace, through the feet of the palace maids, and arrived outside the palace, at the feet of the silver beads.
