150. Consolation
The dream of yellow sorghum has finally come to naught.
The queen thought that Li Mobai reprimanded and punished Concubine Xi, and she could fish in troubled waters by doing what she did.
But I don't want him to just bother to hold himself accountable.
Or rather, he was unwilling to lift this fig leaf for the sake of the Queen Mother's face.
After returning to the palace, the queen, who had been crying for nearly two hours, figured out a truth.
Now in the harem, her biggest enemy is no longer Concubine Xi.
As a rising star, Shen Ciwu is the biggest threat to her posterior.
Yesterday, she and Concubine Xi repeatedly drugged Li Mobai by mistake, but she didn't expect the snipe and clam to compete for the fisherman's profit, but Shen Ci worried about picking up a ready-made bargain.
Looking at this situation, Li Mobai has already become a husband and wife with Shen Ciwei, so giving her the power of assisting the sixth palace today can also be regarded as a reward for her.
The queen guessed like this, and became more and more uneasy.
She will never allow a woman in this palace who can shake her status.
The next day, the news that Shen Ci had won the power of the assistant six palaces had spread all over the six palaces. The concubines of the palace vied with each other to flatter her, and almost broke through the threshold of Yong'an Palace.
The harem has always been such a place to worship the high and step on the low, even if those women are no longer convinced, Shen Ci is worried and has the blessing of soaring, but seeing that her status in Li Mobai's heart has jumped to the first place, where can they not flatter?
Borrowing a knife to kill people is a trick that the queen is good at, but at this time, where will anyone be willing to offend Shen Ci for the queen.
Concubine Xi was reprimanded, and naturally knew how to keep quiet for a while.
Originally, the queen also planned to think carefully and worry about Shen Ci after a while.
Unfortunately, later that day, the Queen Mother went to Fengluan Palace.
"Tell me, what's the trouble you've gotten into again?"
"Queen Mother...... The concubine doesn't understand what you're talking about. ”
The Queen Mother frowned slightly, only glanced at her with her spare eyes, and said abruptly: "Why did the emperor take back the power of Concubine Xi to manage the six palaces The mourning family knows a thing or two, but the mourning family is strange, why would the emperor prefer to hand over the power of the six palaces to the mourning family, and the power of the assistant six palaces to the Rong nobles, but he didn't say a word about you, the queen of the middle palace?" ”
The queen was a little weak by her question, and stammered: "Xu is...... Xu is emperor thinks that the concubine is not in line with his wishes......"
"It's not a day or two if you don't like him, it's nothing new." The Queen Mother took Xiangling's new tea, took a sip and said: "No matter what you want, as long as you behave properly, the emperor will also agree to mourn the family for our family, and the real power in your hands will be restored after the New Year's Day." The mourning family's own son, the mourning family, understands that if you hadn't done something unseemly, the emperor would definitely not have done such a blatant slap in the face. ”
Not only did the queen not dare to admit the truth to the queen mother, but she also cried out all the grievances in her heart, "The queen mother asked the concubine, who did the concubine ask?" Over the years, the concubine, the queen, has been really tired and tired. His husband's heart has never stayed on him...... The concubine just wanted the emperor to care more about the concubine, even if it was just a little, the concubine felt satisfied. ”
Her sobbing voice became louder and louder, and the tears kept sliding down her slightly haggard face like raindrops, "What are the other women in this palace thinking about the concubines don't have the ability to guess, but the queen mother, you know, the concubines really like the emperor." Since the concubine saw the emperor for the first time when she and her mother entered the palace for the first time when she was twelve years old, it was just a simple look, and the concubine had already liked the emperor. ”
"But love is never something that can be brought about by wishful thinking. Today, the queen mother asked the concubine why the emperor did not have the phoenix power of the concubine, but the concubine didn't know, and she didn't bother to ask. I'm afraid that I'll make myself sad even more, so it's better to be a fool who doesn't know the world, and I can live a day. ”
The queen's words were sincere, and the tears she left behind were all true.
However, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, such an outpouring is just a grumble from a resentful woman.
After all, in all dynasties, there is no woman who has entered the palace who is not lonely.
They were chosen by the family, and from the moment they were sent to the palace, they became the weight of the balance of power.
They knew early on that they were married to the most unminded person in the world, and even many women married into the palace, and they would die of old age in the palace if they didn't even see the emperor once.
At the cost of this, in exchange for their fine clothes and food, they are a hundred times more noble than ordinary people.
The Queen Mother patted her trembling shoulder and explained her: "Look at it, how many promises and stays in the palace, since the palace has passed several years, and there is no chance to say a word to the emperor." You don't know how lucky you are compared to them. You are the queen, in the end it is the emperor's wife, if you feel wronged, then shouldn't the other women in this harem all die in their own rooms? ”
"Man, that's it. You gain some, and you're doomed to lose others. What if the emperor doesn't pay attention to you now? At least there is a mourning family, and there is a wishing family, and you will always be the queen. Even if it is a queen who exists in name only, it is also a queen! In the coming day, the new emperor will ascend the throne, whether you are the biological mother of the new emperor or not, you will still be the queen mother, and you will still be the pride of our family. ”
"Thy blessing, how many poor people who do not have enough to eat dare not dream of it? To be a human being, you can't have both, want, and more. The reckless man or the pawn on the battlefield has a lot of time to spend by their wife's side. The mourning family asked you, if you don't want to live a life of no clothes and no food for you? ”
Where did the queen, who has been holding a golden spoon since childhood, think about this?
Faced with the Queen Mother's sudden question, she felt extremely aggrieved a moment ago, and suddenly she didn't know how to answer.
"If you don't speak, you don't want to, and you feel that today's life is still comfortable." The Queen Mother took her hand, held it in her palm, and said earnestly: "Don't worry, your heart will be told to the emperor tactfully." The emperor is affectionate and righteous when he is young, as long as you keep to yourself and don't provoke him to be unhappy, even if it is a hard rock, it can't resist the erosion of the long stream of water, there will always be a day when the gold and stone will open, understand? ”
The queen's heart suddenly warmed, and her tears subsided a lot, but she looked at the queen mother with moving eyes flashing with residual tears, and nodded heavily.
At this moment, she was almost about to give up the hatred in her heart.
But the next scene made her jealous and hateful.
