It is better to be an emperor than to fight in the palace

Compared with Concubine Ming's panic, Liu Xu's face was filled with joy. As a great eunuch, he only had to serve the emperor well. Whether the concubines were good or bad as long as they did not harm the emperor, it had nothing to do with him.

But because the concubine Ming despised Jiang Changzai from the bottom of her heart and thought about ways to humiliate Jiang Changzai all day long, this made Liu Xu feel very unhappy. Don't ask why, just because she was Jiang Changzai's person.

As for why Jiang Changzai is the one, it has to be traced back to that time... Forget it, there is no time to chase.

Liu Xu greeted a eunuch and a maid and was about to go to Deyang Palace.

Seeing that Jiang Simian was serious, Concubine Ming hurriedly knelt down, grabbing tears and runny noses, "Your Majesty, it's my fault, please don't drive me away. If I just go back to the Grand Master's Mansion, how can I still have any dignity?" Go down."

Jiang Simian looked at her coldly, "Do you think this has anything to do with me?"

Concubine Ming was heartbroken by Jiang Simian's ruthlessness, but she still asked without giving up: "Your Majesty, don't you have any affection for my concubine?"

Jiang Simian thought to himself, I don't know whether your Majesty has any affection for you, but I definitely don't have any affection for you.

Coincidentally, at this time, Yuan Qifeng came to deliver the token of water. After hearing this, he was afraid that Jiang Simian would think too much, so he quickly said: "I... really don't have any affection for you."

Concubine Ming turned her head and saw her lifelong enemy appearing in front of her. She held the emperor's arm in front of her and said tenderly: "Long time no see."

His Majesty was even more surprised and said excitedly: "Quick, come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

The two of them entered the palace together after flirting ruthlessly, knowing what was about to happen.

"Ming Fei, hurry up and pack your things with me. Do you still want to listen here?" Liu Xu said angrily.

Concubine Ming glared at him fiercely, "You are a slave who takes advantage of others. I will kill you sooner or later."

No one knew that not only were there no erotic scenes in the bedroom, but they almost got into a fight, which was of course one-sided.

"Oh, you are so capable. I have been out for less than a month, and all the concubines have come to show their love." Jiang Simian said angrily. She was working hard outside, while he was enjoying the beauty inside.

Yuan Qifeng felt that he couldn't explain clearly, "I'm wronged. I've been busy with official duties this month. Let alone the concubine, I haven't even seen a palace maid."

"Why are you so concerned about the palace maid?"

"..."

Yuan Qifeng felt that the two of them could no longer communicate, so he hugged Jiang Simian directly, "All I have been thinking about is your safety."

Jiang Simian's heart softened.

But soon.

I slapped Yuan Qifeng's hand away, you scumbag, you still want to woo me.

"What's the use of just thinking, you can't do something practical."

Yuan Qifeng was speechless, "Reward, big reward, reward yourself."

This time, Jiang Simian did not give the reward to himself, but to the General's Mansion.

Although the reward was very secret, it was still noticed by those who were interested. In addition, another big event happened in the palace. The Queen Mother accompanied Concubine Ming back to the University Scholars' Palace. She said that she was visiting relatives and the Queen Mother and Concubine Ming's grandmother were close friends, so she took Concubine Ming back to have a look.

Although she said so on the surface, everyone actually knew that Concubine Ming made a big fuss in Qianqing Palace and was punished by the emperor to go back to the Bachelor's Palace to reflect on her mistakes. The Queen Mother accompanied her back just to save her face.

This is not to say that I can't understand it. After all, it was your concubine who committed the offense first. The emperor didn't punish you but just asked you to go back to your parents' home to reflect. It was already very merciful.

But the fact that Concubine Ming was just driven back to her parents' home and then secretly rewarded the General's Mansion left everyone puzzled.

You want to say what great contributions the general has made on the border and what victories he has won. There is nothing wrong with your reward. But now everything is as usual on the border. What is your purpose of suddenly rewarding the general's mansion?

The only explanation is that the reward was not given by the General's Mansion, but by Jiang Changzai who came from the General's Mansion.

It's unreasonable for you to do this, especially after listening to your granddaughter hugging you and crying so miserably. She said that she was kneeling in front of the Qianqing Palace and was constantly being ridiculed by Jiang Simian. The emperor didn't even look at it. Take a look at yourself and let yourself, a concubine, be trampled under the feet of Chang Zai.

Cai Mingyi, as the favorite granddaughter of Grand Master Cai, cried so hard that the Grand Master who kept crying wanted to cry too.

"The emperor has been confused by the enchantress. Don't worry, Mingyi. I will play a song with the emperor when he goes to court tomorrow. Especially Jiang Changzai, we must take care of him."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Cai Mingyi hugged the bachelor and shouted "Grandpa", making him happy.

On the other side, in the bachelor's wife's dormitory, the Queen Mother and her sat opposite each other, both of them sighing.

"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I remember that when we were not married, we were together every day. Now you have become the bachelor's wife and I have become the Queen Mother," the Queen Mother sighed.

"The Queen Mother was favored by the late Emperor, and now she is sitting in a high position. She is simply envious of us sisters," said the bachelor's wife.

The Queen Mother waved her hand, "There is no need to have honorific titles between you and me. I think you all know about me. If the late emperor really doted on me, he would not have left me any heirs. Back then, Concubine Hua Gui was the only one of the emperor. Favored, favored in the harem, even after death, she was directly posthumously named the Empress of Huaqing, entered the imperial mausoleum, and lived in the same cave with the late emperor, what do we think?"

"It's past time that Concubine Hua was favored again. The current emperor was not born from Concubine Hua," the bachelor's wife said.

The Queen Mother nodded, "The current Emperor was as hard to tame as a wild horse when he was a child. When he grew up, he became even more rebellious. His mother and concubine died long ago. He is able to sit in his current position entirely due to his own efforts."

"The eighth prince born by Concubine Hua was the best candidate for the crown prince. Considering how favored Concubine Hua was back then, as long as she opened her mouth, the late emperor would definitely make the eighth prince the crown prince," said the bachelor's wife.

The Queen Mother shook her head, "No one knows what she was thinking. Even the Eighth Prince himself had no intention of fighting for power. As soon as the land was granted, he packed up his things and left."

"The Eighth Prince came back not long ago. Do you think he wanted to..." The bachelor's wife paused.

The Queen Mother remained silent and said, "This matter is not something you and I can decide, and we must never bring it up again."

The bachelor's wife nodded quickly. It was true that she could not criticize this royal matter casually.

However, it shouldn't be a problem for me to care about my granddaughter.

"By the way, my granddaughter, Mingyi, is her life in the palace easy?" The bachelor's wife was very concerned about this issue.

But this question is difficult for the Queen Mother to answer.
