Early the next morning, Manager Xuan came over again and asked Fengyang Palace to pick out half of the palace people to stay, and take the rest away.

As soon as he left, there were two more guards at the gate of Fengyang Palace, who were very indifferent and really unsympathetic, and did not give anyone face.

It is said that she came to guard the queen mother by holy order, and she must firmly guard the gate of Fengyang Palace within three years, and she will never leave anyone.

Only then did the people in the palace really believe that Fengyang Palace was really going to be closed for three years, and the harem, which had been surging with various undercurrents since last night, became more and more uneasy.

In Fengyang Palace, people were even more panicked, as if a catastrophe was coming, and most of the palace people who were lucky enough to stay regretted it and cried secretly.

It wasn't until after lunch was delivered that the panicked people's hearts basically calmed down, because Empress Ning's treatment and worship remained unchanged.

The emperor even rewarded two dishes, saying that it was to comfort the queen's longing for her daughter.

In the afternoon, the emperor sent a team of people to Fengyang Palace with all kinds of precious materials that were tributed, as well as gems and jade materials such as Nanzhu.

As before, it was for Empress Ning to choose first, and then it was the turn of the others.

Not only Empress Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but all the eunuchs and palace maids were also completely relieved, and the Chengen Mansion was even more so.

Even most of the courtiers and nobles breathed a sigh of relief, Empress Ning's status was very stable, and the harem and court could be stable for at least another three years.

The various undercurrents and turmoil in the harem overnight have basically calmed down.

In Zhilan Palace, Concubine Lu Guifei was talking to her son, and a major event happened in the palace, so she took the opportunity to teach her son.

Chai Jie said dissatisfiedly: "I really don't know what my father thinks, the Ning family is stupid to this extent, and he still refuses to abolish her!"

Didn't he hint at his mother a long time ago? In that case, why didn't you let the mother concubine be the queen?

At that time, my position as a descendant will be unshakable, and no one will be able to cross us!

I don't believe that my father would care so much about the relationship, and in the end, he still doesn't pay enough attention to my mother and me!

Not only the Ning family, but also Mingzhu, especially Ning Jiangsong, is the biggest joke in the capital! ”

Lu Guifei didn't answer, not because she didn't pay enough attention to it, but because in his heart, nothing was as important as national affairs and world affairs.

He has too many women and children, and most of them will be let down by him, so he chooses to be a qualified king instead of a qualified husband and father, because he can't balance it.

Valued her and Jer?

Hehe, what he called in his sleep was his mother and eldest son Chai Jun, and that scene is still pierced in her heart like a sharp thorn.

That's why she and her brother set up a situation to ruin Chai Jun, and now although her whereabouts are unknown, she doesn't know her life or death, but she has also completely ruined her future.

The emperor is telling the truth, he will not choose a son who has not grown up by his side since he was a child, has almost no real family affection for his parents and younger siblings, is completely unfamiliar with the people and things of the court, and has not been raised by an orthodox prince as the prince.

Not even the eldest son.

Chai Jun is coming back, and the best outcome is just to be a rich prince, and Jie'er's biggest roadblock has been removed.

But if they fail in the end, then she will really make wedding clothes for others, which she must not bear.

No matter how good the teaching is, it is not as good as experience, and Jie'er still does not really appreciate the complexity of the human heart and the cruelty of the world.

"Jer, the real promise will also turn his face and deny it, let alone just a hint?

He is your only father, but you are not his only son.

He actually had another purpose when he said this, at that time, he saw that the overall situation had been decided, and his current situation was the most chaotic and easy to do.

He was worried that your uncle and I would take advantage of the opportunity to do something, so he just used a few words to calm our hearts.

Let's just listen to it, and don't mention it again in the future, let alone take it seriously.

As for the matter of the Ning family, after your father was not abolished, he did not care about any relationship at all, but for the sake of balance and stability.

Because Queen Ning has no background and no support, she is stupid and tough, and she is very easy to manipulate (use).

In the harem, except for her and a few low-level young concubines, there are a large number of forces behind the rest that need him to maintain balance.

The main thing is that Empress Ning has no sons, and she can no longer give birth.

Looking at the highest status, in fact, it has no substantial impact on the current government and the future court, even if she is the queen mother, she is just a rich idler.

Have you ever wondered why your father was so tolerant of the Chengen Mansion? It seems that he has been reprimanding and scaring Ning Jiangsong all day long, but in fact, he has never really been punished?

I just feel that among all the concubines' maiden families, Cheng Engong is the most notorious, the most incompetent, and the least harmless.

Even if he wants to make friends with ministers and magnates twice, he will only be openly flattered and secretly teased by others, and no one will take him seriously.

He can't participate in the real court events such as the establishment of the prince, the struggle for power and profit, and the factional struggle, at most he wastes some silver.

Jie'er doesn't know that a dynasty actually needs such rotten people and bad things to spice up their lives and make others take them as a warning.

The most important thing is to show the tolerance and nostalgia of the superiors. ”

Chai Jie was still unconvinced and said:

"What is not in charge of the concubine in the palace now? Ning's has always been just a façade, and it is still a not very decent façade!

If there is no her, even if the father and emperor do not establish a queen, the mother concubine is also the first person in the harem. ”

Lu Guifei smiled bitterly:

"Without Empress Ning, the new queen will either be selected from the high-ranking concubines who have children in the palace, or choose another famous lady.

For your father, it will be very difficult to balance the forces of all parties, and it will cause a lot of conflicts and contradictions.

Especially if you choose from the high-ranking concubines who have children, it is equivalent to directly determining the candidate for the crown prince.

The winner is the king and the loser is the loser, that is the real bloody battle, the battle of life and death!

Because this is not only a matter of prosperity and wealth for the family, followers, and future generations, but also a fatal matter in which the loser will be ruined and will never be able to turn over.

All those who feel that they are qualified to ascend to the back seat and the forces behind them will do their best to fight!

We are the same as your uncle, Chai Rui and the Ji family are the same, the Huang family is the same, and the Lu family is the same.

Therefore, not only will it be impossible for your father to choose a queen among the existing concubines, but he will also set up another queen to suppress us.

The biggest possibility is to choose a young, beautiful, simple and easy-to-handle queen, whose family background looks very good, but in fact, there is no strength at all.

For example, the noble family who was born in decline and fell out of favor, such as the family of the old minister who was born more obedient but had little interest in his descendants, and the family of loyal martyrs who were born in almost the whole family and died loyally and martyrdom.

Not only did she not have any help, but she was almost certain that she would not be able to have children, so that she could maintain the current balance.

But no matter how vigilant the emperor is, there will be a hundred secrets, and the new queen may not be as easy to handle as Queen Ning.

The most terrible thing, she may use some means to give birth to a prince! ”
