Kunning Palace Official Palace

The queen sat upright at the main seat. Although her appearance was ordinary, her majesty throughout her body actually made people ignore her slightly light face.

A somewhat shivering palace maid was kneeling on the ground. The palace maid had a charming face and delicate curves. Although she was dressed like other palace maids, she was extremely eye-catching.

Last night, the emperor finally stayed overnight, but unexpectedly, the little palace maid made a mess.

"Empress, I accidentally twisted my feet when I served tea to the emperor. The emperor just helped me. I didn't mean to be charming. I have always been loyal to the empress and had no other intentions. If I lie, I will not die well."

The little palace maid kowtowed and begged for mercy while talking, her body trembled in fear.

The queen did not speak, she smiled with a smile on her eyes, and she seemed not angry. Instead, she casually looked through the account book in her hand.

The palace ladies and wives who don’t know what they are, all say that the queen is elegant, elegant, kind and has the style of being a mother in the world.

Only those who serve the queen will know what kind of soul is hidden under this righteous and kind face.

Xiu Jin, the grand palace maid next to the queen, saw that the queen was silent and knew that it was time for her to speak at this moment. She had always been indifferent and spoke without mercy.

"Look at what you said, it seems that our Empress has wronged you, and we don't look at which character you are. We can make it difficult for the Empress to be embarrassed. Just admit it honestly."

The little palace maid shook her head in horror, wishing she could run away and leave this tiger and wolf land, but if she did this, she would only die faster.

He knelt forward and pulled Xiu Jin's clothes, "Aunt Jin, I am really indifferent. Please help me beg for mercy and spare me."

Her voice was so sad and shrill, and the queen frowned slightly when she heard it, as if she was quarreled, and she was very unhappy.

"What does it look like when the noise is out? If the news from Kunning Palace is spread, how do outsiders think of this palace?"

After saying that, he glanced at Xiu Jin and ordered with a blank expression: "This girl is a pleasing girl. I heard that Xia Ming likes such a girl the most. Just send it to him as a concubine, and I say it was rewarded by me."

After saying that, he glanced at the little palace maid and continued, "I am kind. You are not old enough to leave the palace. I will let you go out to marry, and I will not care about your faults. You must remember the goodness of this palace."

The little palace maid heard this and felt like she fell into a deep abyss. Everyone in the palace knew how cruel Eunuch Xia was.

He was in charge of the purchasing matters in the palace. He was obviously a useless man, but he liked to learn about the little palace maids with outstanding appearance.

Not only did he set up a house outside the palace, but he also married and took concubines. He had to torture several girls every year, and he was a man who could eat people and not vomit bones.

Xiu Jin did not give her a chance to cry and shouted, "Come on, come on, tie the person up and send him over."

Several eunuchs immediately stepped forward and covered their mouths and dragged them down. The palace servants in the hall were as quiet as a cicada.

The queen then relieved her anger.

"Although I am not favored, I am the queen and the prince is still there. If you want to humiliate me, you will also have to see if I agree."

The queen's tone was relaxed, and she didn't speak harshly, but what she said made people feel chill.

Xiu Jin stood on one side with his eyebrows down and thought that the queen's chest was calm, and waved her hand to send out the palace maid and eunuch in the hall.

She took out the letter from her sleeve and bowed and handed it forward.

"Master, this is a letter I just sent, saying that it was sent by the Queen Mother."

The queen casually wiped her nails with Danko and took the letter after hearing this.

"This is a strange thing. How could our noble Empress Dowager think of me, an unpleasant daughter-in-law?"

While speaking, she opened the letter. Xiu Jin stood quietly by the side and waited. The queen looked at her ten lines and laughed mockingly after reading it.

"The Queen Mother has a good idea and wants me to help her return to the palace."

Xiu Jin was not surprised. It was not surprising that anything happened in this palace. She was only curious about the queen's attitude.

"Jin'er, do you think I want to get involved in this matter?" The queen was not in a hurry.

Xiujin has served the queen since she was a child. She was the son of the Wang family of Chengen Hou Mansion. If the queen hadn't seen her beating her stepmother, she would have saved her for a moment of kindness, but she would have died long ago.

Therefore, no matter what the queen looks like inside, she will not have any intention, and the queen also believes in her very much.

"It depends on how much benefit the Empress can get in this matter."

The queen is the emperor's first wife. Although she is not favored by the emperor, she is firmly in the position of the lord of the harem because of the prince.

But since Concubine Zhao Shu entered the palace, everything has become different. Concubine Shu was deeply favored by the emperor, and her son was also smart and pleasing. Compared with the prince, he was more favored by the emperor.

In recent years, Shufei seems to have never fought or robbed, but she took half of the palace power from her hands. How could she sit idly by? If this continues, she is afraid that her position as queen will not be guaranteed.

"Everyone in the palace knows that the Empress Dowager hates Concubine Shu because of Prince Lian. If the Empress Dowager returns to the palace, she is afraid that the bitch will not live comfortably. It seems that this matter will not harm me, but I always feel that something is wrong."

The queen was suspicious and never trusted others easily. Xiu Jin thought for a moment and said cautiously: "The Empress Dowager is the only one who cares about Princess Kangping now. If we can hold on to the princess, there should be no big mistakes."

The empress dowager today is no longer the empress dowager of that year, Xiu Jin thinks that the empress doesn’t have to worry too much.

"You are right. No matter how you look at it, it's a good deal. After all, I am the queen mother's daughter-in-law, so I should help you make a good deal. Let's go to the emperor now."

The queen has always been the same, and Xiujin has no room for doubt.

At this time, the emperor was in the palace of Shufei. The eunuch Zhang Dewang was guarding outside the gate of the main hall, and from time to time he stretched out his head to listen to the movement inside. When the emperor came over, his face looked very good, and he didn't know what the empress dowager said again.

The emperor was very calm at this time. He handed the empress dowager's letter to Concubine Shu, his eyes somewhat unrecognizable.

Although Shufei was confused, she still smiled and reached out to take it, looked down carefully, and the emperor did not urge him to pick up the tea on the table and took a sip.

After a while, Concubine Shu asked softly: "The emperor showed me my aunt's letter. What do you want me to say?"

The emperor put down the teacup and said meaningfully: "Don't you have any ideas and shouldn't you say anything? After all, the Queen Mother is very hostile to you. As soon as she comes back, she is afraid she will not be able to calm down. It is unlikely that I will not let her return to the palace."

Concubine Shu smiled not very concerned, "After so many years, my aunt should figure it out, and it is time to let them return to the palace."

"Kang Ping's child is about to be in trouble. I don't know what kind of temperament you are. I should give her a good marriage so that she can be worthy of the late Prince Lian."

After hearing this, Concubine Shu felt a little frightened. She knew that this was the emperor's temptation.

But he was still indifferent and said slowly: "The emperor can't do anything to protect the matchmaker? This girl has to be very good at getting married. It depends on her family background and character. How can the emperor have such leisure skills? Besides, the prince is older than Kang Ping, and his marriage is a serious matter that the emperor needs to worry about."

The emperor was very unhappy after hearing this. He stood up and walked a few steps. Finally, he growled in anger: "You should care about that child, are I and Qi'er not as important as her?"

Concubine Shu smiled helplessly, walked to the emperor and held his hand, looked at his eyes and said seriously: "Emperor, everyone knows that I am Princess Lian's twin sister, and her daughter, it is worth worrying about me more, I am afraid that the empress dowager will not let me have a peaceful life when I come back."

Although Concubine Shu is in her thirties, she is pretty good. Now she is deliberately begging for mercy and looks even more charming. The emperor cannot refuse at all, so she unconsciously held her hand.

After all, love and love have the upper hand.

"Don't worry, I won't let her make things difficult for you. Now you are Shu Concubine, with the emperor and the power of the palace. If she really makes things difficult for you, you don't have to pay attention to it."

Concubine Shu smiled softly and nodded slightly, her eyes full of trust and dependence. Such eyes were the most irresistible for the emperor, and she wanted to rub her into her body.

"Don't worry, I will let them enter the palace. As long as it is not out of line, it doesn't matter if you are willing to spoil the child." This is his biggest concession.

Concubine Shu pretended to be careless and said, "I just need to do my best to do my aunt's affection. The other queen mother is worried about, and I have the emperor and Qi'er to take care of."

After hearing this, the emperor felt very relieved, "We two big men don't need you to worry about. You are weak, don't worry about being too serious. Everything has me."

Concubine Shu nodded with satisfaction and agreed. She was like a little woman loved by her husband, her heart and eyes full of her husband. The emperor was particularly satisfied and stayed until the morning court before leaving.

As soon as the emperor left, Qi Zhen walked into the inner room and saw Concubine Shu wearing inner clothes, her long hair was combed one after another, and she looked a little lost.

"Empress, the emperor came to the emperor yesterday, and Zhang Dewang took the initiative to dismiss the man."

Concubine Shu came back to her senses, smiled softly, and said without caring: "What does this have to do with me? I don't know that she came and did not let her go. If she holds a grudge, I can't."

At this moment, Concubine Shu no longer had the intention to disguise herself. She just wanted to make her feel more happy.

Qi Zhen saw that his master was inappropriate, but he couldn't say anything, so he asked softly: "The Empress can rest for a while."

Concubine Shu shook her head, she seemed to cry and laugh, "The Empress Dowager is going to bring Princess Kangping back. The Empress Dowager's Cining Palace must be cleaned up. The side palace must be lived in for the Princess. There must be some arrangements there. I still have a lot of things to do, so where can I rest."

Qi Zhen looked at her expression and felt unbearable, but she still said with a hard heart: "Empress, all the Empress is worried about these. We just need to watch and help make up for the shortcomings. However, the Fourth Prince has had some typhoid fever recently, so you should take good care of him."

Concubine Shu was stunned, tears dripping unconsciously. She was almost out of control in pain, but she was still desperately suppressing her.

He stood up and said indifferently: "Then choose my clothes. I want to pay my respects to the Empress. It is a big deal for the Empress Dowager to return to the palace, so I have to discuss it with her."

Now that she went to pay tribute to the Queen, she was asking for trouble, but Qi Zhen could not say anything. She could not empathize with the pain in the Queen's heart, so she could only stay by her side silently.

Sure enough, the master and servant were stopped by the palace servants guarding the gate before entering Kunning Palace. Xiu Jin said with a blank expression that the queen had not yet stood up.

Concubine Shu didn't care at all. She was so calm that she stood outside the palace gate with a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened.

Qi Zhen hurried forward and stuffed the purse in her hand to Xiu Jin.

"I would like to ask Sister Xiujin to say good things. My empress is discussing the Queen's return to the palace for the Queen Mother." Qi Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and said good things.

Xiu Jin is cold to others on weekdays, but Qi Zhen is gentle and kind to the outside world. Although the two of them have their own masters, they have no big grudges.

When she heard that it was the Queen Mother's business, although she had doubts, Xiu Jin did not dare to delay it. She respectfully gave Shufei's greeting and went in.

At this time, the queen had already dressed neatly and was slowly using breakfast. No matter how favored Concubine Shu was, as long as she was the queen for one day, Concubine Shu could only come and greet her.

Xiu Jin entered the house and whispered to repeat Qi Zhen's words. The queen was very surprised, "Is it because Concubine Shu planned to be a good aunt and leave a good reputation for herself? Otherwise, how could she agree to the Empress Dowager return to the palace and not stop him in every way?"

Xiu Jin shook her head and said, "Maybe this is what the emperor means, and Concubine Shu can't do anything."

The queen felt that this was possible. After all, the emperor always regarded the queen mother as her biological mother. If Prince Lian had not died accidentally, she would have to be low in front of the queen mother.

"Forget it, no matter whether the emperor is meant or not, as long as the purpose is achieved, it will be the same. Please come in. I want to see Empress Shu in. I am worried about seeing Empress Shu at this moment."

Xiu Jin nodded in agreement. She didn't see anything panic about Concubine Shu, but seemed very urgent, but she felt strange when she looked at it.

But she knew that the queen had a unique personality and should not talk nonsense without evidence.

The queen thought she would see Concubine Shu look listless, but she was disappointed.

"Concubine Shu is really filial. The emperor has not issued an order yet. Are you very anxious?"

The two are mortal enemies, so there is no need to pretend to be a sisterly relationship, and they don’t have that time to do it.

Concubine Shu didn't care and smiled at the empress's weak soft smile, "The Empress also knows that I'm not in good health. The Empress Dowager needs the Empress to take care of her when she returns to the palace. We are all the emperor's wives and concubines, so we can't ask the emperor to give me some advice on everything."

The queen disliked her the most, "I don't know what the emperor means yet, so there is no need for you to mention it."

Concubine Shu didn't care, and Shi Shiran smiled, "The queen doesn't listen, and I don't say much anymore, so I'll take my leave."
