Chapter 1121: Nice Chess Piece
Liuli said in a hoarse voice: "It's really not good, I'll go and kill the concubine Niangniang......"
Fang Ruo was startled, and said busily: "You must not make trouble for the virtuous concubine, if this kind of rebellious words reach the ears of the noble concubine, it will be terrible." ”
Besides, what does this have to do with the concubine?
Obviously, the concubine was also rejected by the emperor before, but the concubine still has the opportunity to sleep. Concubine Xian Niangniang has approached the emperor many times, but she has not been able to sleep, so it can only be said that the emperor has no such thoughts about Concubine Xian.
It's just that she can't tell the truth.
The problem is not with the concubine Niangniang, but with the virtuous concubine Niangniang herself failing to seize the opportunity, in this case, no one can complain.
"If you kill the concubine Niangniang, there will be no one to stand in the way of the virtuous concubine Niangniang." Liuli said in a hoarse voice.
Fang Ruo looked at Liuli in disbelief: "If you are so obsessed again, sooner or later, Concubine Xian Niangniang will be killed by you." ”
When Liuli heard this, her reason finally returned.
Fang Ruo is right, she is the person of the virtuous concubine, if she kills the noble concubine, the virtuous concubine will definitely be affected by her.
At that time, the person she harmed was Concubine Xian, and she couldn't do this, unless one day she wasn't on duty in front of Concubine Xian.
Next, there was only an eerie silence in the main hall of the Zhongcui Palace. Because Concubine Xian, the master, was in a bad mood, the palace maids, chamberlains and grandmothers who were serving in the main hall were also cautious, for fear of making the master of Concubine Xian unhappy......
At lunchtime, Wu Xirou went to the Heart Nourishing Palace.
Xiao Ce was still dealing with official business, but when he saw that Empress Dowager Guo was coming, he had to leave his official business and accompany Empress Dowager Guo to lunch.
Although he didn't sleep well last night, because he was pleased by Qin Zhao early in the morning, he was in a good mood by noon.
Until Empress Dowager Guo mentioned Qin Zhao.
"What's the matter with the Emperor? Everyone said that the concubine was water-based and flowery, did not abide by women's morals, and made eye contact with Zhao Yu in the dragon boat race, losing the face of the royal family. After returning to the palace, the concubine killed the inner servant in Yongchun Zhai, such a vicious woman should be beaten into the cold palace, the emperor is good, but the concubine is ordered to sleep, what is the reason? ! As soon as Empress Dowager Guo sat down at the dining table, she began to count Qin Zhao's evil deeds.
Xiao Ce listened quietly and did not answer.
Empress Dowager Guo was very dissatisfied with this: "Emperor, have you listened to the mourning family?!" The mourning family thought that a woman like the concubine was no longer in charge of the six palaces, and if she could, she would be sent to the cold palace. ”
Xiao Ce glanced at the Empress Dowager Guo: "How could the queen mother listen to unfounded rumors?" Some people deliberately smear the royal family and make the royal family a laughing stock in the world, and the queen mother should find out the murderer who spreads rumors behind the scenes, instead of listening to the rumors like an ignorant woman. ”
As soon as Empress Dowager Guo heard the words "ignorant woman", her face suddenly darkened: "You actually say that the mourning family is an ignorant woman?!" ”
"I happened to be at the scene during the dragon boat race, and the concubine was with me the whole time, and then the concubine returned to the palace first, and there were rumors that the concubine and Zhao Yu were involved. If I hadn't been there, I would have listened to this unfounded rumor. I am a witness, the Queen Mother doesn't believe me, but she listens to those gossip, isn't it an ignorant woman?! Xiao Ce's face gradually became gloomy: "The queen mother buttoned the hat on the concubine's head without asking, but it made me wonder if the emperor was planning all this behind his back." ”
Empress Dowager Guo's face changed drastically: "Ridiculous! How could the mourners do such a thing?! ”
"The Queen Mother doesn't like the concubine, so she naturally does such things. I said ugly things in front, and the queen mother had better not be involved in this matter, otherwise even if it is the queen mother, I will not spare it! Xiao Ce said, and then issued an eviction order: "I can't eat this meal, Zhang Jixiang, send it to the Queen Mother!" ”
Empress Dowager Guo saw that the atmosphere had become stiff, she was knowledgeable and interesting, and found herself to go down the stairs: "Since the emperor said that there is nothing between the concubine and Zhao Yu, the mourning family naturally believes in the emperor." This matter is biased in the mourning family, the emperor, you have a good meal, and the mourning family will come to accompany the emperor to dine next time. ”
Xiao Ce's expression slowed slightly, but he didn't say anything more.
The Empress Dowager Guo walked out of the Heart Nourishing Palace, and a touch of anger flashed in her eyes.
Just before Xiao Ce defended Qin Zhao every word, could it be because Qin Zhao went to bed yesterday that Xiao Ce trusted Qin Zhao unconditionally? If so, how can it be done?
Empress Dowager Guo came angrily, but in the end, she could only return disappointed.
In the evening of this day, Zhang Jixiang served the green head card according to the custom, and Qin Zhao's green head card was placed in the most conspicuous position on his chest, and he was curious about whether the emperor would continue to turn over the cards tonight.
He knew that Cui Jieyu's sleeping was fake, and Qin Zhao was sleeping last night, because he was not nearby, and he listened to the movement as if it was a real bed.
Judging from the emperor's attitude towards the concubine Niangniang this morning, the concubine Niangniang can indeed please the emperor, I don't know how long the emperor's interest in the concubine Niangniang can last.
"Your Majesty, please turn over the card." Zhang Jixiang said respectfully.
Xiao Ce looked at the green head card, and his gaze was on Qin Zhao's green head card for a moment before looking away.
Dealing with Qin Zhao will not sleep well, it has been like this several times, yesterday let this woman "sleep", his sleep quality is not good, and he can't even fall asleep on time.
He waved his hand and motioned for Zhang Jixiang to take the green card.
Zhang Jixiang was a little disappointed, he also thought that the concubine Niangniang was different from other harem concubines, how could he know that the emperor had only been sleeping for one night, so he was no longer interested.
At the moment when Zhang Jixiang was entangled, Cui Jieyu came to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
After Cui Jieyu saluted Xiao Ce, she said generously: "Is the concubine fortunate enough to accompany the emperor for dinner?" ”
She actually received an order from the Empress Dowager Guo, so she specially came to the Heart Cultivation Hall to face the saint.
Empress Dowager Guo said, let her take the initiative, be positive, and strive to conceive the imperial heir as soon as possible.
Yesterday, Qin Zhao suddenly went to bed, shocking everyone's jaws, including her. It's just that she doubts the authenticity of Qin Zhao's bed.
Before she came to meet the saint, she also specially inquired with Zhichun, and heard that when Qin Zhao was sleeping yesterday, everyone retreated far away, including Zhang Jixiang.
That being the case, it is debatable whether Qin Zhao really has a bed.
I can't complain that she thinks like this, she is a fake waiter. In addition, Xiao Ce is not close to people, he is not interested in women, and he was disgusted with Qin Zhao a few days ago.
That being the case, on the cusp of the storm like yesterday, how could Qin Zhao sleep smoothly?
She was therefore skeptical.
It's just that she can't ask Xiao Ce directly, everything is just her guess.
This time, Xiao Ce didn't drive Cui Jieyu away.
He needs a woman to block the mouths of the harem and the court, Cui Jieyu is a good chess piece, with Cui Jieyu here, everything is not a problem.
On the occasion of dinner, Cui Jieyu silently prepared food for Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce felt that Cui Jieyu was more upright and would not quarrel with him, so he temporarily decided to let Cui Jieyu "sleep" tonight.
