Chapter 140: The New Empress
readx;? Today, when such a major matter is discussed in the court, everyone in the harem is naturally concerned. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The people of the noble position have all sent their confidants to quietly inquire about the news outside the main hall, even if they are in the last position, they are all sitting in their respective palaces.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the new queen elected today is different from the previous queen who passed away. The first queen never had real power from beginning to end, and she was not even a veritable queen, so everyone never took her seriously. But the new queen is different, the emperor must be so fanfare, he must be to worship the temple, worship the gods, and lead the subjects of the world to kneel and worship!
Such a big event made everyone nervous, and the low position was fine, after all, no matter how they chose, they couldn't take their turn, they were just nervous about choosing expensive gifts in the palace, and waiting for the holy order, striving to win the first place in the flattery of the new queen!
Basically, before this, most of the people in the harem were only the concubines. Therefore, some of these people rushed to the concubine's dormitory early in the morning, waiting to congratulate the concubine on her ascension to the throne, and it was not in vain to curry favor with the concubine over the years.
The most nervous in the harem is probably the much-anticipated concubine, who has been the queen for a long time, and has been taking pictures of the six palaces, holding the real power of the harem, only missing that title. Today, after finally staying up to the emperor's establishment, although she did not show it on her face, she kept thinking about it in her heart, for fear of an accident. At that time, the rear position will be lost, the face will not be able to pass, and more importantly, the real power in the hands will also change hands!
"Guifei Niangniang, you don't have to worry, according to the concubine, over the years, if you talk about the weight in the emperor's heart, you are the only one!" This melodious voice like a yellow warbler came from Wei Concubine. Since the day she entered the palace, she had made up her mind to follow the concubine wholeheartedly. Over the years, he can be regarded as a celebrity in front of the concubine.
Concubine Qi was not to be left behind, and said with a smile: "Yes, Niangniang, you are the only one in this palace who has a prince under your knees." The concubine felt that there was no need to choose this posterior position, except for you, if anyone changed, our sisters were not convinced!"
"The two sisters have so sweet mouths. To borrow your auspicious words, if this is the case, this palace will definitely reward the two younger sisters!" The concubine leaned lazily on the beauty couch and chuckled.
Concubine Wei glanced at Concubine Qi, and then said: "Niangniang entered the Middle Palace, relying on her own strength, and has nothing to do with the concubines. In the entire harem, except for Niangniang, no one is worthy of the throne! In the future, the concubines will have to rely on Niangniang!"
Concubine Wei and Concubine Qi can be regarded as the best among the people who have married the concubine in Su Riba. However, the two of them are also incompatible, and they both want to compete for the position of the most confidant. Therefore, in Su Ri, whether it is giving gifts or words, the two people are secretly competing with each other. The concubine is also a smart person, she sometimes relies on Concubine Wei, and sometimes she is close to Concubine Qi, which makes the two of them fight happily.
As he was talking, the colored pattern beside the concubine came back.
"How is it?, does the emperor have a holy judgment?" Wei Concubine and Qi Concubine asked in unison. Caiwen went to the front hall to inquire about the news, and when he comes back at this time, he must have a quasi-letter! Even the smile on the concubine's face froze, and she looked at Caiwen a little nervously.
Caiwen's expression was not so happy, and she said: "If you go back to Niangniang, the emperor has no clear instructions. ”
"What?" Concubine Wei and Concubine Qi looked back at the concubine together, and the concubine's face sank a little.
The concubine sat up with the help of the maid, looked at the color pattern with burning eyes, and said, "What do you mean that there are no clear instructions? What did the emperor say?"
Under the fierce gaze of the concubine, Caiwen swallowed her saliva nervously and said: "Back to Niangniang, this morning, the majority of those who elected Niangniang as the queen, but in the end, the emperor did not make a clear statement. However, the emperor said that 'the concubine is indeed good', and I think the emperor also likes the mother. ”
Hearing this, the coldness in the concubine's eyes melted a little, she lowered her head, rubbed her red nails, and asked casually: "The two sisters have always been smart, according to you, what is the emperor's holy will?"
Concubine Wei and Concubine Qi glanced at each other, and said almost in unison: "Niangniang, the emperor specifically mentioned you, and the holy will is naturally here!"
The concubine glanced at them with satisfaction, got up gracefully, and said gently: "Yes, the emperor only mentioned the palace, isn't the holy will still unclear? ”
"Niangniang is exactly what she said! The concubines are here to congratulate Niangniang on the fulfillment of her wish!"
Hearing their titles, the concubine smiled again and again, personally leaned over to help the two people on the ground, and said with a smile: "The two younger sisters are smart and lovely, and this palace will definitely speak for you in front of the emperor in the future." ”
"Thank you for your support. The two of them laughed heartily.
For a while, in the rich and luxurious hall, the three women smiled proudly, as if everything had gone as planned.
After sending off Concubine Wei and Concubine Qi, the concubine walked to the window alone, looked at the canna outside the window, and murmured: "This palace has been waiting for so many years, can't you still wait for this moment or three? Your Majesty, you once promised your concubines, saying that one day, when the first queen dies, the lord of this harem will be the concubine's! The concubines have never forgotten these words, and I don't know how time has passed, can you still remember the emperor?"
At dinner time, the concubine sent someone to the Jiade Palace, thinking of inviting Ji Shuxuan to dinner. During this time, Ji Shuxuan was busy with government affairs and hadn't come to her for some days. Of course, if the emperor doesn't come to her, he naturally won't go to others. Originally, the concubine was not worried in her heart, but in the entire palace, she has always been the one with great grace, and she has always watched others compete for favor lightly.
The emperor once said that he liked her detachment. She kept this image in front of him, even if it wasn't the real her, it didn't matter. In my impression, the emperor only scolded her once, and that time she went to Fengluan Hall to find trouble with the first queen. However, after that time, the emperor handed over the power of the six palaces to her.
Such a move, and the promise that followed, was reassuring to her. Since the emperor likes to be detached, she will try her best to show him such a self. A few days ago, there was a rumor of the immediate future, and although she was nervous, she was almost determined.
Looking at the palace now, although there are four concubines under her, whether it is family background or favor, they can't compete with her. However, with such an advantage, the emperor did not make an order today?
The concubine was faintly uneasy in her heart, could it be that something was wrong in the middle? Since the news came out, she sent someone out of the palace to deliver a letter, and above the court, she must contact more courtiers to speak for her. She couldn't figure out what went wrong. After thinking about it again, she decided to send someone to invite the emperor, and for this reason, she also specially prepared the emperor's favorite food.
In the Jiade Hall, Ji Shuxuan sat alone in the recliner, his eyes slightly closed, and his eyes closed. In the early court today, there were different opinions, and after the next dynasty, there were even ministers who asked to meet alone and speak for the concubine. If it was in the past, he would also be the queen of the concubine. After all, for so many years, the concubine has been taking pictures of the six palaces, and dispatching the harem can be described as doing her best, even if there is no merit, there is hard work.
Of course, he didn't know some of her small actions, but women, it was inevitable to be jealous, as long as it wasn't too much, he could turn a blind eye and let them make trouble. He never forgot that he had promised the concubine, but when it came, his heart was shaken.
First of all, he came to Ruan's Mansion two days ago to congratulate him, and Chu Zhexun told him at that time that the woman he was going to establish should be the most satisfied woman in his heart! He was not surprised that Chu Zhexun would make such remarks. For so many years, Chu Zhexun's thoughts about Bai Shuangyue are clear to him. But above today's government, that Zhou Da mentioned this point of view again.
Ji Shuxuan was a little confused. Their repeated reminders made his originally firm heart hesitate. He was also thinking about what kind of woman he wanted to stand up in his heart. It seems, not a concubine......
Just as Ji Shuxuan was cutting and tidying up by himself, Zhang Hua came in and whispered: "Your Majesty, the noble concubine Niangniang sent someone to invite, saying that she has prepared your favorite pastries and food, please move to Yuehua Palace for dinner." ”
Ji Shuxuan frowned, it seems that this concubine has gotten the news today, and it is difficult to be calm. In the final analysis, what she values is only the position of the queen.
Thinking of this, Ji Shuxuan waved his hand and said tiredly: "I'm not going." I still have some government affairs to do here, you go to Yuehua Palace in person and tell her to let her enjoy it for me!"
"Yes. Zhang Hua should be the back, step back.
In the Yuehua Palace, the concubine saw the maid coming back and happily greeted her, but it was Zhang Hua who came in, but she didn't see the emperor. The smile on the concubine's face froze slightly, and she asked, "Father-in-law Zhang, why don't you see the emperor?"
"Niangniang, the emperor is busy with government affairs today, so he specially sent the old slave to tell you. The emperor said that he asked Niangniang to use delicious delicacies for him. Zhang Hua told truthfully.
The concubine's eyebrows moved slightly, and she said softly: "Yes, thank you for the emperor's kindness." Father-in-law walks slowly!" With that, he turned around and entered the dormitory.
Zhang Hua raised his eyelids slightly, swept the back of the concubine, and turned away quietly.
Caiwen took the concubine's hand into the dormitory, knowing that she was in a hesitant mood, and said in a low voice: "Niangniang, don't be too careful." These days, the emperor is indeed busy with government affairs, and he has not entered the harem for more than ten days. ”
"You don't understand. There was a deep frustration in the concubine's voice, "This palace has known the emperor for many years, but whenever this palace invites him, the emperor has never brushed the face of this palace." Today, this is the first time in the world. ”
"Niangniang......" Caiwen's voice gradually lowered.
The concubine's voice became ethereal: "There are some things that you don't understand......"
