Chapter 555 Queen and Concubine

The new lord delayed the concubine for half a year on the grounds that it was inappropriate to hold a grand ceremony for the late king, and it was not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony in the kingdom before conferring on her as queen.

The concubine thought that she had come to the end of all her hardships, and that her situation would improve after she entered a country, and she would have more power to punish Xiaobai.

But he didn't expect that shortly after the king took office, he immediately made Xiaobai a noble concubine, the same as the deputy queen, only half a head lower than her.

The queen was very angry. She was still alive and had three sons. Why did she become a noble concubine?How can she be embarrassed?

After waiting in the palace for more than a month, she didn't wait for the king to come to her palace. She couldn't help rushing to the Qinzheng Hall and questioned the king why he did this.

"The imperial concubine has made a lot of achievements, and she is also very prestigious in the country. She has always been virtuous, and she deserves it." The king looked at his queen lightly, without any emotional fluctuations.

"Xiande? Do you still remember that I am your first wife?" The queen lost control of her emotions and almost yelled these words.

The king was unhappy, "Of course I remember, so you asked me to make you queen, and I have already made you queen, so why are you still dissatisfied?
Over the years, Xiaobai has been with me, doing things for me, if I don't reward her, how will the people in the middle school think of me?
Could it be that just to take care of your emotions and face, Gu is going to become a senseless and stupid king in the eyes of everyone? "

The words were a bit serious, the queen noticed her gaffe, and hurriedly bowed down to salute, "I don't mean that, it's just a custom. If there is a queen in the palace, you won't be named a noble concubine, because the position of a noble concubine has the right to manage. There is some conflict with the posthumous power of the concubine.

The concubine was worried that if she had a conflict with the imperial concubine in the future, it would make the situation embarrassing, so she came to see His Majesty for the sake of the stability of the harem. "

What she meant was that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the matter of conferring a noble concubine is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.

I can only ask the king to seize the right to manage the noble concubine and let the noble concubine be a concubine in name only, which can be regarded as her queen's patience.

It has to be said that the queen is still a little blindly confident about her status.

Her father is the ceremonial official of the Xi Kingdom, and it is inevitable that she will be influenced by etiquette thinking since she was a child. She believes that concubines should not be messed up. She is a queen, so of course she has a higher status than the concubine Xiaobai.

This kind of thinking is a bit too rigid, and it fails to take into account that the human heart is not so simple. Outside the rules, it is inevitable to have partiality.

The third prince's heart is now completely biased towards the well-behaved, sensible and beautiful imperial concubine who has brought him great help. Faced with the queen's self-righteous and unclear attitude, he is getting tired of it day by day.

"You don't have to worry about this, the imperial concubine already told Gu half a month ago. The country of Xi has just experienced a war, and there are countless casualties. There are a lot of resentful spirits in the country. After a long time, it will bring disaster to the country.

She is a cultivator, and she can't bear to see these lonely ghosts suffering in the world. She is willing to go to the temple mountain, pray day and night, and participate in rituals for three years. May these dead people rest in peace as soon as possible.

Gu agrees, she won't live in the palace forever, you don't have to worry about her endangering your power and status. "

The queen didn't realize that when the king spoke of "power and status", she intensified her tone, and she asked in confusion, "Your sister will not be in the palace for three years and live on the temple mountain?"

Wouldn't this mean giving up the fight for favor, tantamount to self-exile?What is she thinking again?
The king replied blankly: "Yes." There is no need to tell the queen about other details, she will know when the time comes, so as to avoid bad things.

"Since my sister has such a kind heart, my concubine also agrees very much, and will prepare everything for her in the temple."

No matter what Xiaobai's plan is, as long as she leaves the palace, she will never come back and break her desire to compete for favor.

The queen was satisfied with such a result, she was angry and left happily.After she turned around and left without knowing it, the monarch immediately showed a disgusted expression.

"Teach the commander to come." The commander is in charge of the construction of various projects, ranging from water conservancy and transportation, praying and offering sacrifices to temples, to small repairs in the palace.

Not long after, Sigong entered the Palace of Qinzheng to listen to the king's orders.

"Gu wants to build a separate palace near the Temple Mountain, dedicated to Gu praying and offering sacrifices. In order to show respect to the gods, it needs to be built bigger, merged with the Summer Palace, and renamed Yongfu Palace.

From now on, corvee service will be collected from all over the country, impostors, delayers, and military evaders will be severely punished. "

Sigong Xinguo is mainly engaged in large-scale construction projects, and he dare not neglect, "Yes, I will draw up the draft first, and I will ask His Majesty to review it later."

The king waved his hand, "Go." This new palace will only be a little smaller than the royal palace, and he built it for the noble concubine.

In fact, he wanted Feng Xiaobai to be the queen in his heart, so he procrastinated for so long, just looking for an opportunity.

But those old ministers seemed to see his thoughts, the queen mother and grandfather disagreed, and they deliberately didn't mention this matter, so he had no choice but to give up.

But he will not wrong his beloved, he must let her live a better life than the queen, and if she doesn't get the fame she deserves, she will get the reality she deserves.

**
These days, Tang Yue has also lived a leisurely life.Xiaobai was very busy and had little time for class and practice, so Tang Yue was always idle.

Tang Yue knew that there was no rush for these things. The important thing was Xiaobai's psychological changes. She could only take her time and wait for the development and changes of things.

Anyway, this is the environment she created. After everything is over, it won't take more than half a day outside, and it's not too much time wasted.

She will take it as a vacation, and go shopping every day, and then look at the books on techniques and Taoism in her hand, which is not boring.

Xiaobai's progress in climbing to the peak of power also surprised her. Not only did she stay in the summer palace, but the king also built and expanded the palace for her, which seemed to be comparable to the royal palace.

In the past, if a concubine wanted to go to the summer palace, she could only go with the king. No concubine ever went to live in the summer palace alone.

Not only that, since Xiaobai went to the summer palace, the king also moved to live in the summer palace, where all political affairs were handled, and he even left the entire harem in the palace.

Of course the queen was very angry at this point, she did not expect the monarch to have such a thought, he let Xiaobai out of the palace so that no one would bother the concubine.

In this way, no one will be able to attack the noble concubine outside the palace, and they will not be able to see the monarch, and there will be nowhere to fight for favor.

But the queen didn't dare to resort to any means. Her father was sent to another powerful country as an envoy. Now that he had no backing, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Although the imperial concubine has no children so far, the two of them will have a child sooner or later because they get along so often. By then, with the favor that the imperial concubine receives, will he and his child still have a way to survive?
In anxiety and fear, the queen fell ill. Her mother came to visit the palace and brought a woman with her, who was very beautiful.

She said to the queen: "There is no other way now, you offer her up and let her share that woman's favor, this is your only way to survive."

The queen on the hospital bed looked at the woman unwillingly, "Is this the only way?"
