"Because Qixiang Palace has Concubine Zhao who is relied on by the left, Xu Guiren of Qiushui Pavilion is pregnant with the emperor's child, and the concubine of Chaolu Hall is the emperor's former interpretation flower, the emperor is reluctant to bully, only the concubine has nothing, and the emperor likes to pinch the soft persimmon of the concubine ......"

Li Xuanyin's face sank, "Jiang Wanfu, I'm too used to you, let you forget, if someone else said this, I would have picked off her head a long time ago!" ”

This time, the people inside arched their bodies, and they didn't dare to speak anymore.

Li Xuanyin pressed his eyebrows, feeling that he really shouldn't have come here. After the early dynasty, I heard that she had been tossing in Kunning Palace this morning, and she had committed an old illness again, so she went to ask for a doctor. I was in the temple looking through the account books of this year's taxes, but for some reason, I couldn't see a single word. It was all the stubborn and aggrieved appearance of the man crying in his arms. Only then did he order Bei to go to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion.

But this person doesn't know what to do.

When he was about to speak, the skull was suddenly arched down, and then the woman's clean face was revealed, but the ends of the eyes were flushed, and the eyes were clear as water, and they were aggrieved and frightened looking at him.

In this way, how could he still say those reprimands, he only felt that he was holding his breath, and he couldn't go up or down.

She came over slowly, hugged his waist, leaned her little face against his bosom, and said sullenly, "It's okay for the concubine to know that she is wrong, don't be angry." ”

"You'll know what's wrong, too?" Li Xuanyin had a cold face, and raised his hand to push the person away. But the man stuck to his bosom like a dog's skin plaster.

"Let go!"

Wanfu shook her head vigorously, suddenly straightened up, straddled Li Xuanyin's waist, hanging two slender and white legs, she bit her lower lip, and said softly: "The concubine is clear, and the emperor has treated the concubine well enough." ”

Li Xuanyin paused slightly, lowered his eyes to look at her, and unconsciously supported the waist of the woman in his arms with his palm, lest she move and fall, his eyelids were lifted, and his eyes were overlooked, "You know, you dare to act so recklessly." ”

Wanfu shook her head, pursed her red lips, and a tear rolled out of her eyes and fell on the back of Li Xuanyin's hand. It's different from the tears that were deliberately shed by those coquettish people in the past.

"The emperor can have many women, who are wives with the queen, childhood sweethearts with Concubine Zhao, and have the same heart with concubines...... All the women in the world, as long as the emperor wants them, they are all emperors. ”

"But the concubine is different, the concubine is the only emperor in this life, there are no candles in the cave room, no wine together, and even ...... Concubines can't call the emperor a husband......"

"Concubines are such temperaments, concubines can be coquettish, pleased, angry, resentful, and sad...... There is only one emperor. ”

"A concubine is not a dignified and steady concubine, but a concubine always puts the emperor in the most important position, and all the petty temperament of the concubine is only willing to show the emperor alone. Therefore, no matter what the concubine is depressed for a while and says something rebellious, the emperor should not really be angry with the concubine, okay? ”

……

The holy car did not stay long, and left the Golden Jubilee Pavilion. Even with Wanfu's words, the ornaments given by the emperor in the Golden Jubilee Pavilion were still not spared from disaster, and the books that should be copied still had to be copied.

Wanfu rolled around in the bed, her eyes drooping, and she was dazed. After she said that, the emperor's face was still as usual, and he couldn't see that he was half moved. The emperor has always had a casual attitude towards the women in the harem, even if she is so affectionate, she can't see that the emperor has changed her in the slightest.

She didn't even know if it was right or wrong to say those words.

……

In the hall, ambergris incense is burning, and the mind is condensed.

Chen Dehai respectfully poured tea and water, looked at the emperor's face, and did not dare to make the slightest movement. The emperor was looking at the tax account book presented by Shang, and the missing engraving was more than half of it, but he did not see the emperor turn a page.

The emperor has always been diligent in politics and has never had a time to wander. This was the first time he had ever experienced it, and he couldn't help but remember the emperor's expression when he came out of the Golden Jubilee Pavilion. It can't be said to be good, nor can it be said to be bad, in short, he has never seen it, and even doubts that the concubine Ling Gui has made the emperor angry again, but rarely, the emperor did not move too much anger.

Although the emperor instructed him to take people to remove the ornaments given by the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, how dare he really move them, the emperor just told the concubines to scare and scare the concubines. Those who moved back to Qiankun Palace were all bits and pieces that were useless. The emperor treats the noble concubines and concubines, and he is never willing to be ruthless.

He looked at the moment and reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, it's noon, but do you want the servants to order the imperial dining room to pass lunch?" ”

At this time, Li Xuanyin put down the account book, leaned back on the dragon chair, and pressed his fingertips on his eyebrows.

Whenever the emperor encounters a tricky matter, he will do this, which makes Chen Dehai dare not speak, hang his head, and pretend to be dead on the side.

Suddenly, I heard the emperor ask him in a deep voice, "What do you think, how do you treat the harem?" ”

When the emperor stays in the harem, he is naturally a bowl of water and does whatever he wants. Except for the noble concubines who appeared out of nowhere, the others were all emperors, and they would go to see them when they had a fantasy, and if they were pregnant with a dragon heir, they would go for a few more days. If he couldn't think of it, he put it aside, ate and drank well, and served it, and never treated him badly.

That's true, but the emperor has never asked about such a thing before. The emperor has always regarded the government affairs of the previous dynasty as more important than anything else, and the harem concubines are just a matter of adjustment for the emperor's pleasure, and even for those disputes, as long as the heirs are not touched, the emperor is too lazy to care, let alone let the concubines copy books for the sake of the stability of the concubines.

Even the master of the concubine back then, after suffering the secret loss of Concubine Zhao, had to swallow this breath raw, even if the emperor knew it, he never said anything more.

Perhaps because Concubine Ying is always docile and proper in front of the emperor, and she is from a scholarly family, her family background is not high. Every time she saw the emperor, she was punished, so the emperor was pitiful and unbearable, and she subconsciously favored the concubine. In the end, the noble concubines are different from the emperor.

After a long time of not receiving a response, Li Xuanyin raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and Chen Dehai felt a chill on the back of his neck, and hurriedly stepped forward to reply, "The servants think that the emperor treats the masters of the harem very well. ”

He paused, and boldly continued, "The first emperor favored Concubine Mei so much that the government was abandoned, and the people's livelihood complained. However, the emperor has always attached great importance to state affairs, shouldering heavy burdens and eating and closing. The emperor is diligent in government, not only the servants are in his eyes, but also the ministers of the previous dynasty and the people of the Great Wei Jiangshan are all in his eyes. ”

Li Xuanyin swept him coldly, "You can speak." ”

Chen Dehai lowered his head and sneered, "What the slave said is the truth. ”

His remark was indeed the truth, and the emperor's diligence was not only unbearable for him, but also for the ministers of the previous dynasty.

Li Xuanyin's finger bones knocked on the imperial case, suddenly got up, walked to the charcoal stove, stretched out his hands, roasted the charcoal fire, and said to himself: "It's winter, and this year is bitter cold." The great drought in the north is about to pass, and many places are flooding, and I don't know how many people are displaced. The 12 states of Guangyue mutinied, and at this time the harsh winter, how difficult should the soldiers stationed be. ”

Chen Dehai waited until he approached, "The emperor is compassionate, and the people and soldiers will remember it in their hearts." ”

After a long time, just when Chen Dehai thought that the emperor would not speak anymore, he suddenly heard the emperor ask him another question that was extremely difficult to answer.

"What is the difference between treating concubines and concubines?"

When Chen Dehai heard this, his palms suddenly became nervous and broke out in a cold sweat.

He couldn't guess what the emperor meant. The difference between the emperor's treatment of concubines and the treatment of noble concubines can be heard as soon as he hears the position.

When Ying Concubine was in full favor that year, after she became pregnant, the emperor was overjoyed and promised her the position of concubine, but later there was such an incident, and Ying Concubine entered the cold palace. Even if she comes out now, she is still a concubine, and with her pregnancy, the emperor has no intention of being promoted. It can be seen that the emperor's favor for his concubines is no longer as good as before, and it is slowly fading.

Ling Gui Concubine is different, although Ling Gui Concubine is a new favorite, but as soon as she is on the throne, she is always there, and she has the title given by the emperor himself, even if she does not have a dragon heir, she is also a straight rise and sits in the position of a noble concubine. It can be seen that the emperor favors the noble concubines more than the concubines.

But Chen Dehai can't say it so bluntly, what the emperor asks and wants to hear is not necessarily the truth.

He smiled dryly: "The master of the concubine should be gentle and knowledgeable, and he has the same heart as the emperor. ”

"Heart-to-heart." Li Xuanyin chewed on these four words, inexplicably remembered that the woman was in his arms, crying and telling him that when he and Concubine Ying had a heart-to-heart connection, they were both aggrieved and pitiful. How could she have nothing, in this harem, she knows best how to please him and make him feel distressed.

Li Xuanyin faded his face and silently turned the wrench of his thumb, "What about her?" ”

Who is she, Chen Dehai knows with his knees, and the only person who can make the emperor ask so unconsciously and affectionately is Concubine Ling.

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the emperor's face, "Master Ling's temperament is jumpy, and he is different from the master of the harem concubines." The slave looked at it, and since the master was serving by the emperor's side, the emperor's face was as happy as before. ”

This is true, the emperor is not only more pleasant, but his temper is getting bigger and bigger. To go deeper, Concubine Ling's every move seems to involve the emperor's emotions.

He didn't dare to say this, as a monarch, what can influence the emperor's choice can only be important matters, not just a woman in the harem. When these words are said, not only will the noble concubines suffer, but the emperor will not like to hear it. He has served in front of the emperor for many years, and he still has a few points in his heart about what he can and cannot say.

"Yuese?" Li Xuanyin sneered coldly and said sarcastically, "She didn't make me so angry that she vomited blood, she was already restrained." ”

Chen Dehai smiled, knowing that although the emperor was angry, he was happy in his heart and did not dare to answer.

Li Xuanyin withdrew his hand, his face was as usual, "That's it, why do I ask you this, pass on the meal." ”

……

The Golden Jubilee Pavilion moved away most of the luxurious ornaments, among which Wanfu was most distressed by the glass carmine porcelain vase. She originally used it to arrange flowers, but not only did she take away the porcelain vase, but also the plum blossoms she had worked so hard to pick.

Wanfu sat behind the desk with a resentful face, and picked up her pen to copy the book.

Qiu Chi waited for the grinding ink, and when he saw the master's ugly face, he couldn't help it, and didn't dare to disturb the master.

She didn't understand the twists and turns, and she only felt that the emperor had gone too far this time. The master was punished by Concubine Zhao, but the emperor did not appease him in half a sentence, and he also removed most of the ornaments of the Golden Jubilee Pavilion, many of whom were extremely fond of it. The emperor was never biased in his treatment of other concubines, and he was harsh and stingy with his master alone.

She only dared to mutter these words in her heart, but did not dare to say them to her face, so as not to cause trouble to her master. The last time the disaster came out of her mouth, and she almost caused the master to fall out of favor, but she remembered it.

From noon to dusk, Wanfu neatly copied thirty pages, rolled her eyes, and dropped a line of poetry on the last page, dried the ink, and handed it to Qiuchi to send to the imperial front. When Qiu Chi was leaving, Wanfu repeatedly advised, "Remember, you must replace that glass carmine porcelain vase back!" ”

Qiu Chi couldn't help but smile, took the order, and walked quickly to the Qiankun Palace.

……

Chen Dehai presented the handwritten copy sent by the Golden Jubilee Pavilion to the imperial case, "Your Majesty, Master Ling named the glass carmine porcelain vase, you see?" ”

Li Xuanyin pulled out of the case, put down the report that had been presented to the hall a moment ago, picked up the ancient handcopy, and glanced at them one by one. On the last page, sure enough, there was a small line of poetry inscribed below.

"The beauty rolls the beaded curtain and sits deeply on the eyebrows. But when I saw the tears wet, I didn't know who I hated. ”

Li Xuanyin lowered his eyes and looked at it, the corners of his mouth twitched, rolled up the rice paper, and handed it to Chen Dehai, "Put it away and put it in the Cunyu Pavilion." After a pause, he added, "Pick one of the things in her room and send them back, and the glass carmine porcelain vase will be placed in my bedroom." ”

Chen Dehai looked at the emperor's face and couldn't help laughing, the emperor was also able to bully the noble concubine. He suddenly thought that the emperor would be able to see the glass carmine porcelain vase in the dormitory every day. Ling Guifei specially mentioned it, did she really like it, or did she do it intentionally?

He answered the sound and was about to go out, when he heard the emperor stop him, but he didn't open his mouth for a while, and he reminded him in a low voice, "Your Majesty? ”

Li Xuanyin's fingerbones knocked on the imperial case, and a touch of coldness crossed his eyes, "Since Concubine Zhao has been stripped of her title and demoted, it is not appropriate to retain the power of the assistant sixth palace, so let's withdraw it." ”

Chapter 64

Concubine Zhao has been titled since she entered the palace with the emperor from the hidden mansion, and she has the position of concubine. The emperor originally planned to celebrate the New Year's banquet and mention the position of Concubine Zhao again, but this is a good thing, not only did he lose his title, but even the power of the six palaces of the assistant was taken away.

Chen Dehai didn't dare to think about Concubine Zhao's look when she heard the news, Concubine Zhao was an existence that no one in the harem dared to offend, and the emperor was really angry. In fact, in the past, Concubine Zhao did this kind of thing of relying on power to oppress people, and who called the person who moved this time was Ling Guifei, who was extremely favored by the emperor at present. This grace may slowly fade as the new concubine enters the palace, at least for now, he has to show twelve points of hospitality to serve.

Chen Dehai, a minion, did not dare to disregard the emperor's decision, so he received orders to go down to deliver the decree.

……

Qiu Chi went on a trip to the Qiankun Palace, and the full 30 pages not only did not return the glass carmine porcelain vase, but the servants of the Qiankun Palace sent her away after only giving her a South China Sea pearl. This pearl of the South China Sea is a string of beads, there are thirty of them, and if this continues, how long will the master have to copy the book before he can redeem the ornaments of the Golden Jubilee Pavilion.

Qiu Chi returned to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion with a bitter face. I really don't understand why the emperor is teasing his master like this, but the poor master's handwriting is not satisfactory, and the slender wrists are red with one stroke, and people feel distressed when they see it.

It was the second afternoon, Wanfu pillowed the pillow, pinched a piece of pastry sent by the imperial dining room, took a small bite, leisurely basking in the sun shining outside the small window, the warm sunlight comfortably cast on the side of the face, the woman was like a sleeping cat, lazy and idle, so unhappy.

When she saw Qiu Chi's angry appearance, she glanced at the South China Sea pearls on the case, smiled, and stuffed a piece of red bean cake into Qiu Chi's mouth, filling the aggrieved little mouth to the brim.

"Pearls are pearls, and they're valuable things."

Qiuchi knows how rare the master is that glazed carmine porcelain vase, day after day to arrange flowers in it, but the emperor just doesn't give, the master stayed in the Qiankun Palace last night has attracted people's eyes, if you go again, the concubines of the harem are jealous, and they must not eat the master alive.

The bead curtain was opened, Qian Dai came in from outside, glanced at Qiu Chi, smiled in her eyes, and stepped forward and whispered: "Master, the emperor just ordered to seize the power of Concubine Zhao's assistant to the sixth palace. ”

With this good news, the most enjoyable thing is the autumn pool. She just had no complaints against the emperor, and she only felt that the future was bright, and the emperor treated his master really well.

Wanfu unexpectedly raised her eyebrows, depriving Concubine Zhao of the power of the six palaces, and the emperor had never done it when he took away the title and demoted the throne. Now that she has done it, just after Concubine Zhao punished her, she was not self-inflicted, and the emperor did it as if he was angry for her.

Now that Concubine Zhao has Xin'er, I don't know how annoyed she should be. It is impossible for Wanfu to be unhappy, she does not sympathize with Concubine Zhao, after all, Concubine Zhao has the support of the left minister, even if she loses the power of the assistant sixth palace, she can still be arrogant in the harem.

At this time, the little fur that Concubine Zhao lost was nothing to her. It's just that in the future, Concubine Zhao is afraid that she will hate her very much, this beam is completely settled, and when she sees Concubine Zhao again, she has to hide away and leave.

……

Qixiang Palace

The palace people who were waiting trembled, knelt tremblingly outside the hall, listened to the crackling and beating movement of the inner hall, and shrunk their necks, for fear of being implicated by the mother.

Yesterday, a lady will punish the concubine, and today the emperor has seized the power of the sixth palace of the assistant concubine, saying that this matter has nothing to do with the concubine, but no one will believe it.

After all, Niangniang punished Concubine Ling on the front foot, and when the emperor went to court, she went to the Golden Jubilee Pavilion to see people, and who knows what Concubine Ling said in front of the emperor. People are not as good as new, Ling Guifei is the new favorite, no matter how powerful the mother is, it is not as pleasing as the newcomer. These words were held in the stomach, and they didn't dare to say a word.

The more Concubine Zhao thought about it, the more angry she became, and she suddenly raised her hand and lifted the table full of delicacies.
