What favor are you fighting for?The empress's harem has won a lot of business

After leaving Jiaofang Palace and saying goodbye to Nine Kings Xie Chenao, Lin Zhengxiao went back to Xinfeng Pavilion alone.

Looking at the empty palace, he leisurely sat on a chair and drank tea slowly.

Without the two little eunuchs who eat inside and out, the air in the room is much cooler.

The queen sent an aunt in her 30s to take care of him.

Lin Zhengxiao refused without even thinking about it, saying that she was born in poverty, that she could do all kinds of rough work and endure hardships, and she didn't need anyone to wait on her.

The queen hit a wall, and secretly scolded Lin Ximeng in her heart.

"None of the siblings can worry, they both seem to be damned"

Hongjiao comforted at the right time, saying that the empress should not be angry first.

"There are other ways to poison you. The emperor has just left, and there are still some days before he comes back. Isn't it more than enough for you to take care of a guard?"

"The palace rules are so thick, any crime can be directly put to death"

The queen thought for a while, flung her sleeves and lay down on the wisteria chair with her eyes closed.

Hongzi took Lufu to explain, and came out lightly.

The emperor was not in the palace, nor was Lin Guiren. The Jinlan Garden where she lived was deserted, and she didn't want to go back for a while, so she went to the Imperial Garden instead.

Concubine Qing was taking her son fishing by the lake. The five-year-old child still looked pure and weak, with slender arms and legs, and his face was abnormally pale.

Obviously at the age when he should be enlightened, but he follows Dowager Qing in the harem every day, following every step, wishing not to leave for a moment.

"See the Empress Dowager"

Hongjiao stepped forward to salute, she was changing clothes, and the other party was a concubine, and she was bringing the late emperor's ten princes with her, so it was natural for her to salute.

Concubine Qing straightened up and looked at the red jiao in palace attire, with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"Girl, this is..."

The red jiao raised its head with a little pride: "Because of the favor of the empress, I am now the emperor's dresser."

"What does the Empress mean?" Concubine Qing flashed a trace of contempt in her eyes.

"This is what I fought for. Although I am a dresser, I am better than an ordinary court lady. The cost of food and clothing is much better than before."

Concubine Qing smiled and said congratulations, but she was contemptuous in her heart, thinking that the empress dowager's niece has great abilities, which is nothing more than that.

It's only been a long time since she became a queen, so she offered up all the maids around her.

Taking his son back to his residence, he looked at the majestic Changshou Palace not far away, and then looked at his nameless little palace. Even his son had to go to the wing room to study, and there was not enough space in the main room.

She smiled bitterly: "Even if I have a tenth child, I don't have to become a nun, and I still regret it. If there is an afterlife, I will still be a member of the Lefang Palace. It will be happier to be released from the palace at the age to marry a peddler."

Five-year-old Xie Chenqi raised his head in confusion.

"What is a trafficker?"

Concubine Qing rubbed her son's head: "He comes from a poor family and earns money by working hard."

"Isn't that hard work?"

Concubine Qing's eyes seemed to be poisoned: "No matter how hard it is, it is much better than being at the mercy of others in the palace."

She stroked her son's slender arms and pale face, gritted her teeth and thought to herself.

"Son, I have no other obsessions for my mother in this life, only you, even if I lose this life, I will avenge you"

Xie Chenqi couldn't understand, he shook his head like a person reading, reciting school-age poems.

Suddenly his face turned pale, he sat down on the ground, opened his mouth and began to vomit.

Concubine Qing's eyes turned red: "I told you not to shake your head, but you didn't listen, and now it's like this again."

She beckoned the maid to bring in the medicine, and fed her son a little bit, Xie Chenqi's complexion recovered visibly with the naked eye.

Sending her son to the wing to rest, Concubine Qing sat on the rattan chair shaking a cattail fan, tears welling in her eyes.

"Reading and reading, do you think I don't want to?"

"What kind of book are you reading like this?"

-

In another residence not far away, Meng Yuxi listened to the maid's report in a daze, and didn't recover for a while.

"Failed?"

"He's not dead?"

Hong Feng nodded, and said that not only was she not dead, but now even the empress would not be able to attack.

"The siblings are more cunning than the other. They are indeed the orphans of my uncle Lin."

Madam Hong frowned: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. It was not so easy to overturn the case back then. All the evidence was submitted by the Ministry of Military Affairs and reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment."

Meng Yuxi felt a little relieved: "I don't necessarily want him to die, but I just want to guard against it."

"When the emperor ascended the throne, he drastically changed the staff from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment. Even the queen's mother's royal family was expelled from the capital."

"How long can my father take care of?"

Meng Yuxi tightened the handkerchief in his hand: "This year Enke, the emperor has selected more than 30 Jinshi, and distributed them all to various departments. These people must be talented, and promotion will happen sooner or later."

"When they are promoted, some people will definitely retreat. The Ministry of Households is in charge of the tax bank and granaries of the whole country. I'm afraid..."

Grandma Hong thought for a while: "Our master is also trained from the bottom. He has a long history of experience and outstanding political achievements. The master is neither corrupt nor corrupt. Even if the emperor wants to dismiss him, he must have a valid reason, right?"

Meng Yuxi smiled wryly.

"Whether you are not corrupt or corrupt" can use your power to do those underground transactions, which one is not rich in money and water?If the imperial court does not investigate, it will be fine, and once it is investigated, there will be no escape.

These things can fool others, but not her, Meng Yuxi.

"Let's take a look, it's really not good, we really have to help the empress"

"As long as that bitch of the Lin family doesn't mention overturning the case, who will focus on the household department and the Meng family?"

-

Concubine Meng's thinking was somewhat naive.

Of course, she didn't know that the emperor had been eyeing the household department for a long time, and she didn't know that even the Queen Wang, whom she had been helping, regarded the Meng family as a piece of fat, helping the Wang family to make a comeback.

At this time, Queen Wang was frustrated by Lin Zhengxiao, and she was depressed.

"It happens to be the day of the grandfather's funeral. I have already asked the emperor and the queen mother to go out to pay respects."

She called Lufu to tidy up and salute, and sent Mother Cheng to the guard camp to deliver a message.

Order Lu Chen to get ready to set off the day after tomorrow.

Lu Chen: "..."

On how the queen tried to escape if she wanted to cheat on her.

"Empress, don't worry, I will send the best guards to follow you."

Sister Cheng smiled and told Lu Chen: "Don't bother others, the empress appointed General Lu to accompany you, you should prepare well."

In order to prevent the other party from refusing, Madam Cheng emphasized again and again: "Since Your Majesty values ​​Guard Lu, she just wants you to go there in person. Don't think about those who have or don't have them, just go with Your Majesty with peace of mind."

Lu Chen had no choice but to agree temporarily.

This is a thrilling trip, if you can't refuse, you can only see the tricks. The empress is a prostitute, and you can't really do anything to him if you think about it.

How many people in this world are his opponents?
Knowing that Lu Chen agreed, the queen smiled with ease.

"This day, there is still hope"

-

Early in the morning of the next day, the empress took Lu Fu and Cheng Nai, and was escorted out of the palace by the bodyguard General Lu, and headed for the mausoleum of the royal family in a mighty way.

It takes three days to go back and forth.

On the first day, they lived in peace, and on the second day, they arrived at the Royal Family Mausoleum. The queen devoted herself to worshiping her grandfather, and had no time to care about other things.

It wasn't until the third day that the queen finally had the mood to focus on Lu Chen.
