Qing Chuan's favorite concubine side Fujin

Chapter 117

In the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, the imperial concubine led all the concubines in the harem to pay her respects early in the morning.The Queen Mother, who was sitting on the throne above, looked at the concubine below with a smile on her face. She held the prayer beads in her right hand and kept turning them. "Everyone, get up. The Ai family has been feeling better in the past few days. I see you here." The palace is very happy."

After the great salute was received by the Queen Mother, the concubines stood up and took their seats in unison. "The Empress Dowager's complexion is rosy. The medical skills of the Imperial Hospital are really reassuring. I look at the Empress Dowager who is a few years younger." The first to grab the conversation was Empress Dowager De, who had not been seen for a long time. She was once again favored by the emperor and spoke confidently. Everything is full.

Concubine De's behavior showed no change in the face of the imperial concubine sitting in the first chair. She glanced at the other party, picked up the tea cup and drank tea casually.

The imperial concubine didn't care. Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong, who were closer to Concubine De, showed less disgust towards Concubine De on their faces.Originally, the emperor had demoted the concubine of the Wu Ya clan before, but he did not expect that this woman would regain favor through her tricks. She was really a slave in disguise and could not stand up to the public at all.

"The Emperor stayed with Sister De Concubine for no less than ten days last month. He didn't even see Sister De Concubine on the days when he was paying his respects to the Concubine. Instead, he went out today to pay his respects to the Queen Mother." Concubine Yi has always been outspoken, and added She and Wu Yashi are both one of the four concubines, so she dislikes Wu Yashi even more.

Concubine De looked at Concubine Yi, who was directly in front of her. There was no trace of hatred in her eyes, but with years of skills, the expression on her face had long been as calm as water.

Before Concubine De could respond to Concubine Yi's words, Concubine Hui continued: "Concubine De's sister has been in the palace for many years. Not only did she give birth to a lot of children, but she also knows how to take care of people. The emperor doesn't pay much attention to Concubine De's sister. Concubine Rong Sister, please say so."

"What Sister Hui Fei and Sister Yifei said is that I need to ask Sister De Concubine for more advice, so that the emperor can come and sit in my sister's palace." Concubine Rong, one of the four concubines, naturally would not let go of the opportunity to embarrass Concubine De. After everyone had been in the harem for more than ten years, he didn't look down on Wu Ya's past virtues.

Three of the four concubines didn't have a good look towards Concubine De, but the other high-status concubines present saw a good show.Concubine De, who was at the center of the topic, faced the cynicism of the three sisters, but she did not dare to fight back directly. After all, this was the Queen Mother's territory. If she were in the imperial concubine's Chengqian Palace, how could she let Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong do it? The three of them are so unrestrained.

The Queen Mother, who was firmly in the position of the superior, had long since paid no attention to the tit-for-tat confrontation between the emperor's concubines. She interrupted the conversation between the four concubines and briefly explained some palace regulations. Then she got up and left the inner palace, returning to her room to rest. With.

After watching the Queen Mother get up and leave, the concubines took the lead, and the concubines left the Cining Palace in order according to their rank.

The imperial concubine did not plan to ride in the sedan today, so she did not go with the fourth concubine and the others. Concubine De was living a comfortable life. Today, she came to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. Naturally, she ordered her servants to prepare the sedan. As soon as she left Cining Palace, she got on the sedan. He left proudly.

Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi and Concubine Rong also prepared sedan chairs. They did not want Concubine De to go ahead of them. Now the three of them were even more unhappy with Concubine De.Standing at the intersection in the opposite direction, Mrs. Wei was filled with envy and jealousy in her heart when she saw that the four concubines were able to sit in the sedan chair.

Wei Shi succeeded in being promoted from Xin Zheku to concubine by relying on her face, and even gave birth to the eighth prince to stabilize her status. However, how could she be satisfied with a mere concubine? Only those above the concubine's rank deserved her.

"Master, Master." The eldest palace maid next to Wei saw her master frozen on the spot, and couldn't help but remind her, "Master, are we going back to the palace?" After coming back to her senses, Wei nodded and stretched out her hand to let her stay close to her. The palace maid supported him and walked step by step back to the palace with her flower pot shoes on. "When you get back, tell the kitchen to prepare the wine. Just watch and prepare lunch."

"Master had dinner with Eighth Prince a few days ago and drank alcohol with every meal. This wine is very strong and drinking too much will harm your health." The eldest maid persuaded the master kindly, but before she could finish her words, the look in his eyes scared her so much that she didn't dare. Then he continued talking, concentrating on supporting his master.

Mrs. Wei didn't take the palace maid's words to heart at all. She had specially asked family trustees to bring these spirits to the palace for the emperor to spend the night.After the emperor tasted it, he praised his taste, and Wei became accustomed to drinking and eating every day.

In Chengqian Palace, after the imperial concubine returned from Cining Palace, she went back to bed and continued to catch up on her sleep. The rules in the palace could not be changed. For many years, she had to get up before dawn to pay respects to her high-ranking master.Cui Nvguan and the palace maids and eunuchs were also accustomed to it. After waiting for their master to fall asleep, they quietly left the room.

It was not until noon that the imperial concubine got up to wash up. There was nothing going on in the harem recently, so she could rest more peacefully. "Have the chefs in the lunch kitchen made any new products? I'm looking forward to the chef's craftsmanship."

"My wife has been using the master's skills for more than ten years, so the taste of the new dishes is of course the best." Ms. Cui teased the master with a smile. She did not stop working at all, and changed the clothes for the master in just a few steps. tidy.

The imperial concubine was in a good mood today. She deliberately raised the topic to make the other party laugh at her. After changing her clothes, she went directly to the dining table to sit down. Only Lady Cui was left in the room to serve her, and the rest of the palace people did not need to enter the room to serve her.

After taking a bite of shrimp balls as an appetizer, the concubine nodded with satisfaction and continued to taste the rest of the dishes.Ms. Cui put several dishes in succession on the plate in front of the master, and said slowly: "Master, today at the Queen Mother's place, Concubine De was just having fun with Concubine Hui and Concubine Yi. Concubine De had a rare look on her face. I can’t laugh.”

"Let them go. No matter how the four of them fight, it will not affect the Chengqian Palace. It is rare for us to have a show." The imperial concubine picked up the bowl and drank millet porridge, listening to Cui Cui's words.

Ms. Cui continued to pick up vegetables with her chopsticks, "That person from the Wuya family was born in Baoyi, and he has connections with the Wuya family in the harem. No wonder he won the favor of the emperor so quickly. The empress can't be too reassured. That person also sees it. Chengqian Palace is not pleasing to the eye."

"The emperor's thoughts are always difficult to guess, and our emperor rarely dotes on the concubines in the harem. It is just for the court to appease the harem." The imperial concubine put down the bowl and spoon in her hand, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and tasted them, "Those cloaking forces in the harem are useful. Naturally, they are the emperor's right-hand assistants. Who can look up to them when they are useless? The emperor's recent favor on the concubine is probably related to the influence of the concubine. The master wants his servants to contribute, so naturally he has to show something."

After listening to her master's words, Miss Cui stopped talking and put down her chopsticks to fill her master's bowl with porridge.
