Chapter 8 Wise self-preservation

In the Fengluan Palace, the queen has long been looking forward to it, she stretched her neck to look, and the phoenix crown tassel on the top of her head also swayed with her figure, it was the cardamom years, although she could still look beautiful without powder, but the queen chose the heaviest rouge to put on her face, and chose the most gorgeous palace dress to cover her body, and the graceful makeup that did not match her age seemed to be difficult to set people up.

Mo Chun had the heart to persuade the queen not to be like this, but the queen was determined to think that the saint would like it, and she said conclusively: "The same is true for the virtuous concubine, why can't this palace?" ”

Concubine Xian is four years older than the queen, and she has been in her prime for ten years, which has added a touch of unique charm to women, and the queen can't understand the truth, and she has to learn from Concubine Xian, not afraid of losing her identity, which is also the result of falling into a Dong Shi style.

Mo Chun was bitter in her heart, she was a first-class palace maid next to the queen mother, she didn't want the queen to enter the palace, she was transferred to the queen's side to be a palace maid, this palace maid Mo Chun was willing or unwilling at the beginning, it was true that the queen mother's order did not dare to disobey.

The palace has been up and down for more than ten years, and the Queen Mother promoted her because of her dedication and service, otherwise, how could she tolerate her with the character of the queen's mother.

Mo Chun glanced at the increasingly arrogant appearance of the queen's eyebrows in the corners of her eyes, and sighed secretly, this Duke of Runan is obviously the queen mother's brother, but he doesn't want the first lady to pass away for more than a year, and he was planted in the hands of the six-rank official concubine, and the eight carried the sedan chair into the door, and gave birth to the queen mother the following year.

Maybe it's an old woman, the Duke of Runan is very fond of this youngest daughter, and the current Duchess of Runan has taught the queen to be ignorant of the world and not understand the world.

Mo Chun has the heart to say a few words, and the queen mother has to listen to it, just like now, the singing harmony comes in, and the queen mother can't wait to get up and go out.

Mo Chun's eyes were quick, and he grabbed the queen's phoenix robe: "Niangniang, you are the queen, waiting in the inner hall to ask the saint for peace, if you are a concubine, you need to go to the palace gate to greet the saint." ”

The queen was restrained, and she couldn't move forward for a while, she half-turned around, and her eyes were full of blame: "The saint has only come to the palace once for a long time, you don't teach the palace how to keep the saint, but teach the palace these useless rules, hmph, I knew that I still let my mother send a reliable person into the palace." ”

When Mo Chun heard this, the hand holding the queen was obviously loosened, she saw the disgust on the queen's face, and her heart suddenly became sour, she was the female official of the palace order beside the queen, but the queen's words have been said more than once or twice in the past two years, she is also a person who wants to be faced, the queen's words are undoubtedly telling the rest of the palace that she does not trust her as a palace official!

Mo Chun seemed to be in the midst of ridicule, and while her heart was cold, she could catch a glimpse of the disdain on the face of the personal maid brought into the palace by the queen from home, and she suddenly had sour eyes, and she didn't understand what her perseverance could get in exchange for in the end.

Her fingertips suddenly let go, and she confessed to the queen: "Niangniang forgives her sins, it is the slave who lost her words." The queen mother is the lord of the six palaces, so she naturally does whatever she wants. ”

The queen was surprised by Mo Chun's acquaintance this time, and at the same time became more and more proud, she pulled the messy skirt, a high and arrogant chin, and the dazzling phoenix golden hairpin on her head seemed to be laughing at everyone, she was the queen, why did she need to follow the rules of others: "It's good that you know, my aunt asked you to come, she came to serve me, but she didn't let you talk too much." ”

"Yes." Mo Chun has long been accustomed to seeing people in the palace who don't know good and bad, and from then on, she will take the queen's own wishes as the criterion, and in the case of not saying a word, she can protect herself with wisdom.

The queen had no scruples, and walked to the palace door in three or two steps, with a pair of almond eyes hooked, and her voice seemed to be delicate: "The saint is here, and the concubine thinks that someone has stumped on the road." ”

Xiao Qirao looked at the queen's hand in the crook of his arm with interest, his gaze slowly moved up, and finally fixed on the red and thin lips of the queen, he quietly withdrew his arm, paced to the top of the inner hall, with a trace of mockery on his eyebrows, and said with a sneer: "If you don't know, you still think that there is a queen by my side, when I came, I passed by Ganquan Palace, and I did gossip with Jiang Meiren, but I didn't delay coming to the queen, don't be angry." ”

"Really?" The queen just asked casually, but she didn't want anyone to be unblind, she bit her lip, squinted at the palace maid beside her, and then gritted her teeth and said: "It's good that the saint can come, how can the concubine be angry, after all, the saint only comes to Fengluan Palace once in ten days and half a month, and it is not as good as Chonghua Palace." ”

The last sentence almost disappeared between the queen's lips and teeth, but Xiao Qi's hand holding the tea still stopped in the air for a moment, and then continued to drink tea as if he didn't hear it, but the expression between his eyebrows became cold, and the whole person also revealed a breath of being unapproachable.

Chen Fu was on the side, he was worried about his heart, and he couldn't tell the queen loudly, you are the middle palace, you have the world's mother's honor, and you are tolerant and generous, instead of surrendering your identity and treating yourself as a concubine or concubine.

But the queen only knew that she and Concubine Xian did not like each other, and she could not tolerate Concubine Xian in this palace for the rest of her life. But Xiao Qi was very fond of Concubine Xian, and the queen didn't dare to act rashly, her eyes turned, and she sat down next to Xiao Qi instead, and talked to Xiao Qi about something else: "The people from the Shangyi Bureau came to tell the concubines that the new batch of palace maids can be assigned to various palaces, and the concubines thought, should the Holy Qinzheng Hall also add some people?" I don't know how many people are appropriate? ”

"These palace maids entered the palace three years ago, according to reason, they have almost learned the rules, but the queen, it is the first time you have encountered these things, how to assign palace maids, how to dispatch the palace minions, think about it, the queen, you also have to cross the river by feeling the stones, right?"

It's not that Xiao Qi looks down on the queen, it's really that the Duke and his wife of Runan were too fond of the queen at the beginning, and they didn't learn the matter of the female housekeeper well, so they were hurriedly named the queen by the queen mother.

Xiao Qi thought for a while and said: "In the palace, except for the queen, the virtuous concubine has the highest rank, I thought, it is better to let the virtuous concubine..."

"No, you don't." The queen was so anxious that she was in a hurry, and her voice suddenly raised a few degrees: "Although the concubine said that she had to cross the river by feeling the stones, so did the concubine, so why bother the sister of the concubine." The concubine thought, why don't you let someone from the mother's harem come to help the concubine? ”

Once Concubine Xian intervenes in these matters, the affairs of the six palaces will be equivalent to being offered with both hands, the queen is not stupid, she knows what is at stake, she can't give Xiao Qi an excuse to let Concubine Xian contact the assistant six palaces, and in a panic, the queen moved out of the Ci'an Palace.

"In the Empress Dowager's Palace..."Xiao Qi twisted his eyebrows, and when Shi Cai left the Ci'an Palace, Shen Qinghe knelt on the ground straight, her appearance became blurred after a while, Xiao Qi only remembered that she was wearing a black jade tassel hairpin in her hair and a quiet begonia fragrance around her.

The words of refusal were swallowed into Xiao Qi's stomach in an instant, and he stared deeply at the queen and said, "Okay." ”
