Qingchuan: The empress is so cute and charming that she goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 44: Rumors spread, the Queen Mother was furious

Zhiyu gave the order,
But when I really investigate, it's still a bit hard to find out.
for no other reason,

Her manpower is currently mainly concentrated in the harem.

We can only ask about the general direction of the affairs of the previous dynasty.

For example, some time ago——

The fourteenth was sent by Yinzhen to guard the late emperor's mausoleum. This news was well known to everyone.

Others that are more detailed cannot be easily explored.

When she was a concubine, the Guarjia clan was outside, so the news came easily.
Now that Zhiyu is a member of the Guo family, her natal family has declined and she is no longer in the capital.
There is no foundation in the court, and there is basically no one to use it.

Besides, Zhiyu doesn’t want to have anything to do with the Guarjia clan anymore.
Naturally, the news from the previous dynasty is somewhat difficult to detect.

Dongju went back and forth to report the matter, but Zhiyu was helpless for a moment and could only let her inquire slowly first.
But the situation on Li's side is clear.

She really went there with the idea of ​​​​depending on Wu Yashi.

Wu Yashi didn't know what her plan was.
After officially appearing in the harem,

He quietly and secretly woos the concubine who has a son.
It's just that the Nian family has always been favored and followed Yinzhen's attitude closely.

He didn’t accept the olive branch offered by Wu Yashi at all.
Fuhui looked at the sick man again, so Wu Ya didn't think much about it.
The fourth brother’s concubine Xi was banned, and concubine Yu’s fifth son was an unknown person.

Looking at the selection, only the third elder brother, Li Shi, who had just been demoted, was easy to handle.
The key point is that when Wu Yashi offered her an olive branch, she really accepted it.

What Zhiyu saw yesterday was that the maid waiting in front of the main hall of Ningshou Palace was indeed Mu Xiang next to Mrs. Li.

Not only that, the two of them didn’t shy away from it anymore.

Today, after the concubines and concubines paid their respects,

Wu Yashi directly left Zhiyu and Li Shi behind.

Mrs. Li stayed behind to chat and amuse herself with Mr. Wu Ya.

Zhiyu, on the other hand, still has to go to the small Buddhist hall to pick Buddha beans. Fortunately, she has already won over Ah Yue.
The two of them were just like yesterday, chatting behind closed doors.

Then after Lan Ying came over, Zhiyu limped back to the palace and was helped back to the palace by Jinzhan.

Three days like this,

The rumors in the harem are getting worse;

On this day, Zhiyu finished picking Buddha beans as usual and was walking back to the palace.

Suddenly, I heard the whispers of some palace maids coming from behind the rockery.

"Alas, a gentle person like Concubine Guo is actually being made difficult by the Queen Mother!"

"Who says it's not the case? Although it is said to be praying for the emperor on the surface, picking Buddha beans is just a disguised form of practice..."

"The niece of my sister from the same hometown works as an errand in Ningshou Palace. I heard that Concubine Guo has suffered a serious leg injury in the past few days, but she doesn't dare to ask an imperial doctor. She relies on the help of the palace maid to travel!"

"is it?"

"may not"

"Hey, stop talking and get to work quickly. Grandma will be here soon to check!"

……

The palace maid's whispering gossip gradually weakened until it disappeared.

Zhiyu smiled slightly, without stopping, holding Jinzhan's hand, and walked slowly back to Yanxi Palace.

Ningshou Palace,
Shortly after Wu Ya asked Mrs. Li to leave, she stroked the family letter handed in by the [-]th Fujin.

Looking at the words of care and longing for Shi Shi,

Wu Ya could not help but miss her youngest son.
"Lanying, how is the Yangxin Palace lately? Has the emperor's attitude changed?"

Lan Ying lowered her head and whispered:

"Back to the Queen Mother, I have not heard that the Emperor has made any changes regarding the Fourteenth Master."

Wu Yashi raised her hand to touch her forehead and sneered,
"The emperor is now the emperor after all. Unlike before, he even turned a blind eye to the Ai family's attitude and showed no brotherhood." Lan Ying took the tea handed over by the little palace maid and served it with her own hands.

After looking at Wu Yashi's expression, she said in a warm voice:
"The Emperor may have other considerations. After all, the Fourteenth Master is the Emperor's biological brother. I don't think the Emperor will really be in trouble."

Wu Yashi took the tea cup, took a sip, looked far away, and sneered,
"The son born in the Ai family, the Ai family knows that the emperor is cruel and only pity the fourteenth son of the Ai family..."

Lan Ying lowered her eyes and looked at her nose and heart, not daring to say anything.

Wu Yashi came back to her senses and realized that she had said what she said. Yinzhen was the emperor after all now.
Then he changed the topic and asked:
"Any news from the previous government?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, there is none, but the harem is..."

Lan Ying hesitated whether to continue.

Wu Yashi frowned and looked at her directly.

"What? What's wrong with the harem?"

"There have been some rumors in the harem recently, saying that Concubine Nian fell ill after she came to Ningshou Palace,"

"It is said that Concubine Guo's leg was seriously injured due to being tortured, but she did not dare to tell the imperial doctor. She only stayed next to her every day, talking about you, talking about you..."

Under Wu Yashi's gaze, Lan Ying silently said the following words,

"...Said you were too harsh on the concubines in the harem."

After saying that, he knelt down, and the servants in the palace also knelt down instantly.
"Good, good, good!"

Wu Ya was so angry that he laughed instead.

A motivation in hand,
With a "pop" sound, the fine blue and white porcelain tea cup was thrown to the ground and fell apart instantly.

"The empress dowager calm down!"

"Quiet your anger?"

Wu Ya's eyes were filled with rage,

"As the Queen Mother, Ai Jia only asks the emperor's concubines to pay their respects and pray for blessings. Is this a harsh punishment?"

"The emperor and the empress are really good sons and daughters-in-law of the Ai family. It's not allowed for these slaves to spread such words,"

Wu Ya was extremely angry and ordered sternly:
"Lanying, there is no need for Concubine Guo to pick Buddha beans tomorrow. Let her kneel directly in front of the Buddha to chant sutras and pray for blessings."

She suspected that Nian had not spread these rumors.

It was Guo, that bitch, who sent someone to spread the news.
However, Yinzhen and Uranala were not close to her, and they opposed her on the fourteenth matter.
Then he watched helplessly as she, a dear mother, was talked about by these slaves.

The more Wu Yashi thought about it, the angrier she became. With a wave of her hand, she swept down all the ornaments on the Kang table.

There was a "crackling" sound,
Wu Yashi calmed down her expression and sneered coldly,
"The Ai family wants to see what kind of words that bitch can make those slaves say?"

As he said this, Wu Ya raised his eyebrows and glanced coldly at the servants in the hall.
The slaves felt her gaze and trembled instantly, not daring to express their anger.
Lan Ying also shuddered and said "yes" repeatedly.

The next day,

Zhiyu came with all the concubines to say hello.

I found that Wu Ya's attitude had become much colder, and he was no longer angry.

From the queen down to the promise, I directly criticized them one by one.

Seeing everyone, they lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows, not daring to speak, so they let everyone go.
Wu Yashi waved her hand in disgust,
"Okay, let's stop here today. Concubine Guo will stay here."

Knowing pleasure should be,

I was thinking in my heart that today I didn’t even let Mr. Li stay.

Suddenly a high-pitched voice came from outside, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Followed by Yinzhen, who was wearing a dragon robe, he strode into the hall.

All the concubines opened their eyes one after another, stopped their movements, and saluted.
"Concubines/concubines, please see the Emperor!"

"Son, pay respects to Queen Mother!"
