Queen is fearless

Chapter 54

The two sisters of the Xing family lived in the palace.

It was already the end of July when the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xing returned to the palace, and now it's been a while, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer and closer.

Because of the two sisters of the Xing family and many concubines in the harem, they felt somewhat uneasy.

Originally, the emperor seldom entered the harem, and since there were empresses, there were only a handful of them.

If there are two more people from the Xing family, I'm afraid that those who entered the palace early will be forgotten by the emperor.

Gu Jinzhi sat at the top, his eyes flicked over everyone, except Dong Fei, Jiang Xiuyi and Lin Jieyu, the rest were here.

"I didn't say yes, I greet you once every three days, I already greeted you yesterday, why are you here again today? But what's the matter?"

Not one of them opened their mouths, Gu Jinzhi simply broke the silence.

"Your Majesty, the concubines are really uneasy, and after thinking about it, I have no choice but to come to your empress."

One of the concubines spoke, it was Li Guifei, and among the crowd, her status was quite high.

"Uneasy? Why are you uneasy? Tell me about it." Gu Jinzhi understood why they were uneasy, but still asked.

"I think the empress has heard that Concubine Xing's mother's family sent two girls from the Xing family to the palace."

Another concubine spoke, it was Chu Jieyu, and she was considered a low-ranking one. It seemed that these two were representatives of everyone.

"I know about this matter, but I just haven't had the chance to meet the two girls from the Xing family."

Not to mention her, even the Queen Mother has not seen it yet, so I can only say that this Concubine Xing and the girl from the Xing family are the ones who are unclear.

Even if they didn't come to pay respects to the queen, they should go to pay respects to the queen mother, but since they entered the palace, the two of them have been nesting in Ci'an Palace and refused to come out even one step.

There are only a handful of people who have seen them, so until now, few people know what they look like.

From Gu Jinzhi's point of view, this is just a bluff. He spent so much time trying to surprise everyone at the 'right' time.

I just don't know if these two girls can afford those four words.

"Ma'am, those two girls from the Xing family... are they going to enter the palace?" Li Guibi, who had spoken before, tentatively asked Gu Jinzhi.

After all, she is the queen, if there is a newcomer entering the palace, she will definitely know about it.

"If that's the case, don't talk about it in the future. I heard that when the girl from the Xing family entered the palace, it was Concubine Xing who wrote a letter to her family, saying that she hadn't seen her for a long time and she missed her family."

"It is because of this that the two girls entered the palace. Bengong guessed that the two girls have been in the Ci'an Palace and refused to come out, probably because they are not yet married, and they are afraid of seeing the emperor when they are wandering around the palace. "

"Although the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty were relatively open, it would be bad for a woman's reputation if she met a foreigner before she got married. They didn't want to enter the palace, so they couldn't force themselves because of their reputation."

"Remember, the two girls from the Xing family entered the palace to accompany Concubine Xing, not the emperor. Besides, if they really wanted to enter the palace, they should have gone to pay their respects to the queen mother long ago, and to greet the palace."

Although there was some blame in Gu Jinzhi's words, her tone was very gentle.

After hearing her finished speaking, all the concubines looked at each other, feeling much relieved.

Qingluan and Hongxiu stood aside, Gu Jinzhi's words made them laugh secretly.

In this harem, news spreads the fastest, and there are so many little masters around, so what the master says will definitely spread to Ci'an Palace.

No matter what the reason for Concubine Xing to let the girls from her family enter the palace, it will not be so easy for them to become the emperor's concubines and enter the emperor's harem.

It can be said that Gu Jinzhi's few words made Concubine Xing and the two girls from the Xing family suffer a secret loss.

It's only because Concubine Xing and the girls from the Xing family have too shallow eyelids. If they had greeted the queen mother early, and the two girls from the Xing family had also come to Fengyang Palace to meet the ceremony, today's words would not have come from the mouth of the master. come out.

If they really wanted to enter the harem, it might be easy.

"The concubine has bothered the empress, please don't blame the empress, what I said just now was reckless."

Li Guipin stood up and saluted Gu Jinzhi, she understood the meaning of the queen's words.

"It's okay, we're all sisters, so there's nothing wrong with it? It's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, if you need anything, remember to tell me, don't feel wronged."

Smiling and waving his hands, motioning for Li Guibin to sit down, Gu Jinzhi looked at the crowd with a more gentle tone.

As she said so, all the concubines got up quickly and thanked her.

The worries in my heart were gone, and after thanking each other, I saluted and wanted to leave.

Gu Jinzhi didn't want to keep them, but ordered someone to send them out.

Watching the concubines go away, Gu Jinzhi picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"Master, if what you said just now is known by Concubine Xing, what will happen?"

After seeing off all the concubines, Qingluan returned to the palace, saw Gu Jinzhi put down the teacup, smiled and approached him, and asked someone to change a cup of tea.

"It's nothing more than smashing a few things and scolding me a few words." Gu Jinzhi didn't care, and he wouldn't lose weight. In comparison, Concubine Xing must be more concerned.

…………

"The empress is really smart. Now, Mrs. Xing will suffer from being dumb."

In Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager knew what Gu Jinzhi said, and said to Madam Liu with a smile.

The girl from the Xing family entered the palace, and she hasn't come to greet her until now. Although she doesn't care, she also feels that Concubine Xing and the girl from the Xing family are ignorant.

She reckoned that Concubine Xing wanted to show the two girls during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it would be best to be remembered by the emperor right away.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin appeared on the way, and the queen's words greatly discounted her plan.

"Empress Dowager, please forgive this old servant for being bold. With Concubine Xing's temper, I'm afraid she won't let it go."

Grandma Liu has been with the Empress Dowager for many years, and she still remembers clearly the exchanges between her and Concubine Xing. Concubine Xing is by no means an easy-going lamp.

"The Ai family knows that she will not let it go, she will definitely find a way to stuff the two Xing family girls into the emperor's harem."

"Before, the Ai family thought about taking care of this matter by themselves, but now they are looking forward to it, and want to see what the queen will do."

The Empress Dowager knew more about Concubine Xing than Nanny Liu, after listening to Nanny Liu, the light in her eyes was even brighter.

As Gu Jinzhi expected, after knowing these words, Concubine Xing smashed a vase angrily. It was given to her by the former emperor. It was originally a pair, but now that one is smashed, the other will also be useless.

"What a queen!" Gritting her teeth bitterly, Concubine Xing was furious.

Mingyue and Haoyue stood aside, seeing their aunt getting so angry, they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that she would be even more annoyed.

On the other hand, Madam Yan ordered someone to clean up the ground, and then went to Taifei Xing's side, persuading her in a low voice.

"The concubine calm down, even if the empress doesn't want the two ladies to enter the palace, so what? In the end, it's not up to the emperor's will?"

"If the emperor is interested in the two ladies, no matter who it is, they will not be able to stop the emperor's intentions."
