Queen's scheming

Chapter 10

There is a faint fragrance of jasmine floating in Qiankun Palace, making the originally cold palace a little more tranquil in an instant.A soft and waxy voice sounded softly, "My concubine, Xuehua Pavilion, Ronghua Shen, pays my respects to the empress, and the empress is blessed and safe. Greetings to the empress, concubine Jing is auspicious."

The hairs on Concubine Jing's body trembled when she was excited by Shen Qingwan's sweet voice, at this time she carefully looked at this woman whom she didn't care much about before.I saw her combing the simplest single snail, and using a simple orchid-like suet white jade single hairpin to fix her bun, a few fresh jasmines were inserted here and there, and a few strands of hair fell on her delicate face. Her ears were hanging low, and on her ears were a pair of white jade drop-shaped pendants with silver thread tassels, half a palm away from her thin shoulders, swaying by her ears, emitting a warm light.Inside, she wears a sky-water blue chest-length underwear with dark patterns of water and clouds, a floor-length light yellow pleated skirt, and a soft gauze dress of the same color as the outer cover. On her neck is crystal clear crystal glass, and her arm is surrounded by water blue. The glazed cloak bound with a colored ribbon echoed each other, and with Shen Qingwan's movements, it made a crisp and pleasant sound.

Concubine Jing laughed at herself secretly. If Shen Qingyi's words were not so thorough today, would she still think that this Shen Ronghua is a weak and harmless little white rabbit, with such unassuming attire, plain and watery appearance, seemingly The simplest is the most appropriate.Concubine Jing had to admit that this Shen Ronghua was very powerful.In front of the overwhelmed Shen Qingyi, any glamor and enchantment will lose their color, and only the minimalist plain white will appear.

Shen Qingyi concealed her biting hatred for Shen Qingwan, took a sip of tea lightly, submerged that hatred in the clear tea fragrance, and smiled softly, "Sister Ronghua doesn't need to be polite."

"Give me a seat!"

Shen Qingwan moved the lotus steps and sat down under Concubine Jing.With a gentle smile on his face, he said kindly to Shen Qingyi, "My sister hasn't seen my sister for a long time. I originally planned to visit my sister as soon as I entered the palace, but I didn't expect my sister to leave the palace. No, as soon as my sister knows that my sister After returning to the palace, I immediately came to pay my respects."

Qing Yi glanced at her lightly, and said softly, "Sister Ronghua has a heart."

After listening to Qing Yi's words, Concubine Jing understood the twists and turns, a little Ronghua had only been in the palace for three days, and the queen's guard of honor hadn't even entered the palace gate, so she already knew, so she went directly to Ningsu Palace to wait. Going on, it seems that Shen Qingwan really put in a lot of effort before entering the palace. Of course, this must have something to do with the first-class maids of the two empresses behind her, Yumei and Yuju.Using the queen's people to deal with the queen, Shen Qingwan really knows how to settle accounts, such a person, her concubine Jing really underestimated him.

Concubine Jing stood up, kissed Shen Qing Yifu, lightly parted her red lips and said, "I don't know if I should say a few words, concubine?"

"Concubine Jing said bluntly, you are the niece of the empress dowager's direct relative, and you have taken care of the affairs of the six palaces for me for a few days, so there is no right or wrong thing to say!" Shen Qingyi knew that Concubine Jing was going to beat Shen Qingwan. In one sentence, Concubine Jing was lifted to a position below one person and above ten thousand, giving Concubine Jing enough momentum.

Concubine Jing bowed respectfully to Shen Qingyi again. In comparison, Shen Qingwan's treatment of the queen was not so casual.Concubine Jing looked at Shen Qingwan, and said sternly, "Originally, Shen Ronghua was your sister, empress, and it's okay to gossip with you, but now that Shen Ronghua has entered the palace, she should abide by the rules in the palace. In the emperor's bedroom, concubines are not allowed to enter without an edict. This concubine is here today because she is in charge of the six palaces for three days, and she is here to report to the empress about the affairs of the palace. No matter how much Shen Ronghua misses the empress, she should not come here; Second, after Shen Ronghua entered the palace, the empress gave him a seat. You are Ronghua of the fourth rank, and my concubine is the concubine of the second rank, holding the first palace master. There is still a difference of four ranks between you and my concubine, but you This concubine sits down first, which is regarded as disrespectful to this concubine; thirdly, the empress is respected, and the mother respects the world, it is not you, Rong Hua, who can call you elder sister."

Shen Qingwan gritted her teeth at Concubine Jing's words. In the past few years, she has been worshiped as the eldest daughter of the Duke of Fengguo's mansion. How could she have been wronged like this? What's more, Concubine Jing is just a concubine of the Duke of Fuguo's mansion. , but relying on being the empress dowager's niece, Shen Qingyi didn't say anything about her, and a concubine stepped on her head. After two years in the palace, it is still uncertain who is the second-rank concubine and who is the fourth-rank Ronghua.

Shen Qingwan was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she also knew that she couldn't show her feet at this moment, so she quickly stood up pretending to be sincere and fearful, bowed down, and said with slightly wet eyes, "I don't know the etiquette when I first entered the palace. Blame it." Shen Qingwan still doesn't believe it anymore, after all, Shen Qingyi came out of the Shen family together with her, so she can't be biased toward Mi Yurou.This Mi Yurou gave her the blow today, and she will repay it even more in the future.Seeing this, Yumei and Yuju behind Shen Qingwan knelt down and begged, "Go back to Empress, Shen Ronghua only entered the palace for three days, and forgot the rules for a while."

Shen Qingyi looked at Shen Qingwan, Yumei, and Yuju who were kneeling on the ground with a distressed expression, wondering why "Shen Ronghua is my younger sister, and the two of you served by Bengong's side in the past, if so Forgive me easily, I really can't convince everyone, so let's do it, this person in this palace is really not suitable to deal with, so let Concubine Lao Jing spend more time thinking about it!"

"The concubine respectfully obeys the imperial edict!" Concubine Jing glanced at the three people kneeling on the ground, and wrote lightly, "Shen Ronghua just entered the palace and didn't know etiquette, so he might bump into the emperor in the future, so he was taught by the concubine Wang Momo for half a month." As for Yumei, Yuju "Concubine Jing glanced at the two kneeling on the ground. As the queen's servant, she actually speaks for her against the master's back. It was really unbearable in people's hearts, so they said indifferently, "You two are first-class maids by the queen's side, you should have known these rules early on. When there is no one around Shen Ronghua to serve, the queen arranged for you two to serve Shen Ronghua. When Shen Ronghua violated the palace rules, not only did he not persuade him, but he also allowed Shen Xiaozhu to make mistakes, slaves like the two of you who bully the master, according to the palace rules, they must be executed with sticks, but the reason is that you two serve the empress For many years, there has been hard work without credit. Now you two are deposed from the position of aunt in charge of Ningsu Palace. It just so happens that Shen Ronghua still lacks two first-class palace ladies. If something happens, both of you must be killed immediately."

It was only at this time that Shen Qingwan realized that she had worked hard to dress up and came to see the emperor in Qiankun Palace. The emperor was grounded for half a month before he saw him. Hearing that the first sister of the former empress of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion had been brought into the palace by the empress dowager, she Being grounded at this time, wouldn't it be a missed opportunity? Shen Qingwan only knew she was afraid at this time, and hurriedly trembling her voice, she looked at Shen Qingyi, "Empress Empress..."

Shen Qingyi looked at Shen Qingwan helplessly, and said in a sad voice, "After all, this is the imperial palace, not Fengguo's mansion. The queen mother has also told me in the past few days that she is going to raise the status of concubine Jing, assistant to the sixth palace, Shen Ronghua It's better to learn the rules before serving the emperor. Anyway, I have already entered the palace, so I don't rush for a moment." Shen Qingyi's one sentence is considered to be the end of the matter, and it can also be regarded as a reminder to Shen Qingwan, it's not always about She is her sister's business, so she can do whatever she wants in the palace.Of course, these words can be regarded as Shen Qingyi's reassurance to Concubine Jing, Shen Qingyi can do what she says, and it is not an empty promise, she will definitely raise the status of Concubine Jing.

The Wang Momo next to Concubine Jing is also a formidable one. She was originally the teaching nun specially found for Concubine Jing by the Crown Prince of the Fu Kingdom. For this sake, I was busy blessing Shen Qingwan with a gift, and said with a cold face, "I will serve Xiaozhu Shen back to Xuehua Pavilion right now. You have been in Qiankun Palace for a while. Offending the noble master is the fault of the servant."

Shen Qingwan reluctantly stood up and left. When she turned around, Yumei and Yuju stepped forward to serve her. Unexpectedly, the two of them were still the empress's people, and they cooperated with the empress to trip him up, causing him to be grounded, and even sent the two of them to his side to watch over him. Fortunately, his mother also said that Shen Qingyi was a no-brainer, As long as she pretends to be weak and gains her trust, she can gradually replace Shen Qingyi. I didn't expect Shen Qingyi to be so smart now.

After Shen Qingwan left, Concubine Jing respectfully bowed to Empress Shen Qingyi, "Concubine thank you Empress!"

Qing Yi knew that Mi Yurou was thanking her for her promotion and assistant to the Sixth Palace, and she didn't stop her, but said plainly, "Tomorrow, you go with this palace to greet the Queen Mother and her old lady. Tang Aoxue, the second daughter of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, will also be promoted to the first palace lord, and you and I need to mention this matter, and we can't wait for the Queen Mother to speak."

"The concubine understands! The concubine is going to arrange the cleaning of the palace now, but I don't know which palace is suitable for the arrangement, so please show me the empress." Concubine Jing knew that it would be a matter of time, but fortunately Shen Qingyi was about to be promoted She is a noble concubine, otherwise she will be suppressed by Tang Aoxue in a short time, after all, she is the real sister of the former empress.

Shen Qingyi recalled that in her previous life, when Shen Qingwan was promoted to the imperial concubine, she personally arranged Zhaoyang Palace, which was the sunniest palace besides Ningsu Palace, and said softly, "Just Zhaoyang Palace. Her identity It's unusual, and I can't be wronged. As for the palace servants around her, it's better for the queen mother to arrange them. We arranged them rashly. If something happens in the future, it will inevitably be implicated."
