Queen is fearless

Chapter 59

Seeing Princess Xin taking the seat, everyone thought that the matter was over.

Unexpectedly, Princess Xin just sat down for a while before speaking again.

Immediately, everyone's eyes once again focused on Princess Xin.

"Princess, please speak." Zhou Jing looked at her with a calm tone. Anyway, no matter what she said, there would be no place for her in the harem of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After thanking you, Princess Xin Guo spoke again, "Just now I was only talking, and I didn't see the beauty of the Empress until I sat down."

"No wonder, the emperor is not interested in me. It turns out that there is a more beautiful woman by my side."

Although I don't want to admit it, the queen's appearance is indeed much better than her.

Unexpectedly, she would open her mouth to praise herself, Gu Jinzhi raised her eyebrows, she felt that this princess must have something to say.

Sure enough, just as this thought flashed across her mind, Anasha's voice was heard again.

"I know that besides His Majesty the Emperor, the empress dowager and empress are sitting in the first place, but I don't know, what are the identities of the three people over there? Are they also the emperor's concubines?"

Anasha's eyes fell on Concubine Xing and the Xing family sisters.

"If you say that those two are exactly the same, they are the emperor's concubine, I believe it, but the other one, looking at her age, is not too young, so she is also the emperor's concubine?"

Anasha really didn't know the identity of Concubine Xing, she had only heard about the Queen Mother, but never heard of the existence of Concubine Xing.

In the state of Xin, if the monarch dies, except for the queen mother, the rest of the women will either be buried or have other arrangements, and will not stay in the palace.

So in Xin Guo's harem, there has always been only the queen mother.

"The older one is Concubine Xing, the late emperor's concubine, and also King Rui's biological mother." Gu Jinzhi answered Anasha's doubts, "As for those two..."

Turning his head, Gu Jinzhi looked at Zhou Jing, presumably at this moment, he should have noticed the Xing family sisters.

When Anasha asked, Zhou Jing looked at Concubine Xing and the others, and saw the Xing family sisters.

The two sisters looked exactly alike, one looked at him shyly and timidly, and the other bit his lip, with a look of resistance on his face.

Since she was a child, Zhou Jing had never seen twins, so when she saw two identical twins for the first time, she took a few extra glances.

Hearing the Queen speak at this moment, Zhou Jing looked away. He didn't want members of the Xing family, even sisters who looked exactly the same.

"Is there no concubine in the country of the princess?" Being said to be 'not young' made Concubine Xing feel a little annoyed.

She knows that she is not young, but she still hopes that when others see her, they think she is still very young.

Besides Princess Xin, the queen also used words like 'older' when talking about her, which made her even more annoyed. She simply opened her mouth and interrupted what the queen wanted to say.

"Please forgive my concubine, I don't know about this. In our country of Xin, if the king dies, the women will be buried with him."

Saluting to the queen mother without sincerity, Anasha responded to her words.

Gu Jinzhi's words were blocked by Concubine Xing, she didn't speak again, just looked at Concubine Xing, wanting to hear what else she could say.

"I see. I didn't expect Xin Guo to be so cruel." Concubine Xing's face changed slightly. There were such things as burials in the past, but they were changed because they were too cruel.

"Just now I heard from the princess that I was curious about our identities. I am the late emperor's concubine. After the late emperor passed away, she became a concubine. As for the two of them, they are my nieces and will soon become the emperor's concubine. "

As soon as Concubine Xing finished speaking, Mingyue's face suddenly showed joy, while Haoyue frowned, obviously not very happy.

Zhou Jing looked at Concubine Xing, and was very dissatisfied with what she said. Gu Jinzhi smiled, but she knew that Concubine Xing couldn't say anything good.

"Concubine Xing!" came the Queen Mother's voice, full of anger, she knew why Concubine Xing let her nieces into the palace, but she never expected that she would speak like this in public.

"Don't be ashamed, Queen Mother. Although the emperor just got married this year, the harem has no heirs so far. There is nothing wrong with having two more people serving the emperor and spreading branches and leaves for the emperor."

"Besides, next year, there will be an audition, so what's the point of letting my concubine's niece enter the palace early?"

The empress dowager's anger was not taken seriously by Concubine Xing, she smiled and saluted the empress dowager.

Her words made the queen mother choke. It is true that there will be a draft next year, but it is not for the emperor.

But now that there is a draft, there will always be a few people who will be selected into the harem, and the rest will be given to clan members of the right age in the clan according to each person's situation.

King Rui's concubine will be selected in next year's draft.

Before she had time to discuss this matter with the queen, if she wanted to draft, she had to let the queen know.

Gu Jinzhi raised her eyebrows. She really didn't know that the draft would be held next year. She thought it would be three years after the emperor ascended the throne, but next year would be less than three years old.

Surprise was also revealed on Zhou Jing's face. He also didn't know about this matter. He looked at the queen and saw that she seemed to be too shocked to respond, so he couldn't help frowning.

"I remember, the empress said before that if you want to enter the palace, you have to look at the emperor's will. The emperor doesn't like me, so I can't enter the palace. Do the two nieces of the concubine get the emperor's favor?"

Anasha's voice came at the right time, breaking the atmosphere in the hall. The ministers all bowed their heads in silence, pretending that they didn't know anything.

After all, this is the emperor's family affairs, they are all looking forward to it, the palace banquet is over, they leave quickly, but they dare not participate in the emperor's family affairs, the less they know, the better!
Concubine Dong's complexion was really not good-looking. Ever since she saw the Xing family sisters, she had been worrying. Unexpectedly, her worry was about to come true.

Subconsciously looking at the emperor, he saw that he was looking at the empress, and the empress didn't know what she was thinking at this moment.

"Even if there is a draft next year, it will be next year's event. The Ai family has not talked about this matter with the emperor and queen yet. Everything is still undecided, and my sister is too impatient."

The Empress Dowager's voice finally came again, "The emperor and the empress have been married for less than a year. Now there are no heirs in the harem, which is also the meaning of mourning the family. After the prince is born, there is still time for other concubines to conceive. "

"Even if next year, the queen is still not pregnant, that's okay. The emperor is still young, and at that time he often walked around the harem, and there will always be good news."

"The empress dowager is like this, so she is not afraid of seeing the first emperor in the future. Is there no way to explain it? You are the empress dowager. Let the empress deal with the matter of the harem."

Concubine Xing smiled and said, her eyes shifted from the Queen Mother's face to Gu Jinzhi's, "Empress Empress, don't you want to let the Xing family's daughter into the palace?"
