Queen's scheming

Chapter 185

After entering the Nuan Pavilion, An Qingyao said with some concern: "Empress, you really don't have to go to war for Yao'er, and you sent him to the Qiankun Palace. Now, not only the harem, but even the former court are involved."

Shen Qingyi was noncommittal, let Yuhe take off her outer clothes, and put on a homely loose snow-forged small jacket with a clear sky, blue pigment, and surface.

Seeing that Shen Qingyi didn't answer her, An Qingyao handed the gold-plated orchid hand stove in her hand to Hibiscus next to her, sat down in front of Shen Qingyi, and said, "Those people didn't target Yao'er in the first place. Wuxuezhai intends to prevent Yao'er from entering the palace, causing the empress to worry and get pregnant, the root is still for the empress, so the queen empress really doesn't have to be so angry for Yao'er!"

"Where is this palace angry?" Shen Qingyi took a sip of the bird's nest from Yuhe and said, taking a celadon-glazed embossed phoenix piercing peony bowl.

An Qingyao was a little surprised and said: "Isn't this considered angry? As far as Yao'er knows, no matter what the empress has done these years, there has never been a precedent for sending concubines from the harem to Qiankun Palace. Let the courtiers know. Gossip about your mother!"

"This is wrong. My palace has sent many harem concubines to Qiankun Palace, but those are all going to sleep. This is the first time for this Wei Cairen today. As for those courtiers Let alone you, anyway, this palace's gossip is not just one or two sentences, and one more sentence is not too much!" Shen Qingyi said indifferently.

"Your Majesty!" An Qingyao almost stomped the embroidered shoes under her feet a few times. The empress's empress did so, and she was clearly telling the truth. Go, the rumors only stop at the wise, whatever they say, it won't hurt Yao'er, why should you be like this, you are the empress of a country, the mother of the world, the reputation has only improved in the past two years, how can you behave like this!"

Shen Qingyi sighed, An Qingyao used to be a spoiled little lady at home, now that she is in this situation because of Mu Hao, how could he bear to watch her be framed and ignore her, An Qingyao said I don't care, but I heard Yu Lian who was watching the night yesterday said that An Qingyao didn't close her eyes all night, and she couldn't sleep. An innocent girl's family, because of a marriage contract, kept watch for Mu Hao, and was treated like this. How could it be possible to slander and say that he didn't care, but just pretended to be indifferent by his side.

There are only two confidantes in the Nuan Pavilion, Shen Qingyi said with a long sigh of relief: "Don't worry about it, I have my own conclusions in my mind, sending Wei Cairen to Qiankun Palace today is not a fuss over a molehill. Mr. Wei is in command of the guards around the capital, and if the emperor wants to take back the military power in his hands, there must be a suitable reason, and this Wei talent was specially sent to the emperor by this palace!"

"So the empress made an agreement with the emperor?" An Qingyao asked Shen Qingyi with watery eyes.

"Is this the case, I don't know that the one who bumps into us today will be Wei Cairen, but since she opened her mouth, I will fulfill her. This Wei Cairen has secretly informed her father because her father is the commander of the Gyeonggi Department. I heard the news a few times, but because the matter was trivial, I didn't pay attention to her, and she was used to something wrong, so I simply eradicated them all today." Shen Qingyi picked up a small silver fork carved with peony patterns, I ordered a mouthful of cantaloupe and bit it in my mouth, it was fragrant.

"So, it's because of Yao'er?" An Qingyao blamed herself a little. She knew that she shouldn't have told the empress about Wu Xuezhai.

Shen Qingyi saw that An Qingyao was looking downcast, and said, "You don't have to worry, I heard from Yu Lian and Mu Jin that the people blocking the gate of Wuxue Zhai are all strong men, even though they are all civilians. Common people, but think about those strong laborers who don’t work in the fields or work outside, how could they have the spare time to block up your other courtyard, this is clearly arranged by someone with a heart, deliberately to ruin your reputation!”

Yu Lian also added fuel to the side and said: "That is to say, those reasons are even more far-fetched. Why don't you obey women's morals? Hong Xing cheated out of the wall, and even made a fuss about dipping in a pig cage. Princess, are you stealing someone, or are you pregnant?" Have a child? There is not even a male lead, and when you talk about these things, you are not afraid of Feng Da’s tongue flashing. The common people dare to dip the princess’s wife into a pig cage, who gave them such courage! "

An Qingyao was a little helpless, and said: "When a person sits at home, the disaster comes from the sky!"

Shen Qingyi became more and more annoyed in her heart. If it wasn't for herself, because of Mu Hao, An Qingyao wouldn't have ended up in such a situation, "They can make trouble like this, if Bengong didn't react at all, how could they be in this situation?" It’s not getting more and more foolish, this time it’s you, next time they have to pick up Mu Hao’s grave!”

"How can it be done!" An Qingyao became anxious when she heard this, she stood up immediately, her silver-gilt and sapphire-inlaid tassels were shaking, "The dead are the worst, how dare they!"

"If you just keep avoiding, no one can tell what they will do. I do this to warn them and make them more cautious!" Shen Qingyi pulled An Qingyao to sit down, speaking earnestly Said.

An Qingyao didn't say anything anymore at this time, because what Shen Qingyi said might really appear, and her blindly hiding would not solve the problem, it would only fuel their arrogance!
Shen Qingyi likes An Qingyao the most, she is not stubborn, as long as she can be more transparent.

The Nuan Pavilion fell silent, Shen Qingyi put another small kumquat in his mouth, swallowed it, and said: "You should live in the palace for a while! If possible, it is best to live in Bengong to give birth, and I will also give birth by Bengong's side." Everyone talking, it's so boring."

An Qingyao knew that it was Shen Qingyi who wanted to protect her, and she was afraid that something would happen to her alone in Wuxue Zhai. An Qingyao was also worried that if something happened to her outside, Shen Qingyi's dragon fetus would be shocked. It should be.

Seeing Shen Qingyi still frowning slightly, An Qingyao asked softly: "But what else is wrong? Why is your empress still frowning deeply?"

Shen Qingyi did not hide from her, turned a little finger-sized pearl on the jacket and said: "I always feel uneasy, if these things implicate Concubine Xue or other high-ranking concubines, that's fine, but one of them is Huagui, one is Wei Cairen, although the two of them have some small mistakes on weekdays, but they will not be punished by the palace. The Duke's Mansion cannot be said to be involved, nor can it be said to be involved with the Fuguo Duke's Mansion, but if it is said that there is no one behind these two people, I really don't believe it, but now I can't think of this person who contributed to the flames!"

An Qingyao didn't think too much about it, didn't know there were so many twists and turns, and sighed: "I thought that Concubine Wan died, and the Fengguo Duke's Mansion was destroyed, and the Empress and Empress would be able to live a peaceful life. I didn't expect that This palace is still so uneasy. Isn’t the emperor only in Ningsu Palace now, and occasionally goes to the place of Duanjing and Xuefei? The other palaces have never been there before, what else are they fighting for?”

Hearing what An Qingyao said, Yu Lian brought a warm goat's milk soup with a smile, handed it to An Qingyao, and said with a smile: "As soon as you hear what the princess said, you know it's not a woman from this palace. The princess only knows that the favored woman is competing for favor, but she doesn't know that the unfavored woman is even more violent. Without the emperor's favor, they are bored and busy, chatting about this concubine's life Background, let’s talk about the figure of the concubine. In short, there is nothing they don’t talk about. People say that there are three women in one drama. There are so many unfavorable women in the harem, chatting every day, how can they not cause trouble? "

An Qingyao frowned, the pink begonia flowers on her forehead moved slightly, and said: "Since the emperor doesn't like them and never goes to their palace, why don't you let them go back?"

"Where are you going back?" Yulian didn't know why.

Shen Qingyi sighed, and said: "Qingyao means to send them back to their parents' home!"

Yu Lian opened her mouth wide and said in surprise, "The Princess is joking!"

An Qingyao said disapprovingly: "Is there anything wrong with this? The emperor doesn't like them, and they don't love the emperor very much. It must be the emperor. Instead of chatting about right and wrong in the palace, it's better to go back to their respective mansions, at least And my father and mother are with me."

Yulian almost laughed when she heard this, and said: "Princess, although our Dali folk customs are simple and we allow women to remarry, but who do you think would dare to marry the emperor's woman? Even if these young masters are really released from the palace Go, they will definitely not go!"

"Why is that? In this palace, why bother to be alone?" An Qingyao sympathized.

Shen Qingyi thought that An Qingyao was expressing her feelings, and immediately said: "Qingyao, I have already said that if you have someone you like, you don't have to guard it for Mu Hao. You are still young, so you really don't have to suffer from this. A crime!"

An Qingyao waved her hands again and again, and said in a soft voice: "The empress misunderstood, Yao'er is willing to guard for Hao Lang, in Yao'er's heart, no one else can stand shoulder to shoulder with Hao Lang, Yao'er will never like anyone people."

"You girl, why bother?" Shen Qingyi sighed, and said with infinite relief, "Mu Hao is so lucky to meet you."

An Qingyao smiled softly, with satisfaction in her eyes, and said softly: "It is Yao'er's wish to become Hao Lang's wife, and now that Yao'er has her wish fulfilled, she is as happy as she is."

"It's just that these concubines in the palace are different from Yao'er. They don't love the emperor very much, and they haven't even met the emperor a few times." An Qingyao insisted.

Shen Qingyi shook her head with a smile, "They are all for the family, even if I want to send them out, they will not be willing. They are in the palace, no matter how poor their natal family is, they can proudly say that their girls are in the palace. If they are nobles and young masters in the palace, once they leave the palace, their identities must not be accepted by the world. They used to be concubines of the heavenly family. Even if they dare to marry, who would dare to marry? Isn’t it the end of the old family? How can a woman who eats dry food not bring glory to the mansion, but adds to the conversation of others, be tolerated by her natal family."

"In that case, it's really their misfortune!" An Qingyao lowered her head, feeling infinitely regretful.

Shen Qingyi looked at An Qingyao's appearance, and said with a bit of a smile: "This can't be based on the Queen Mother's premise. Now that there are so few children in the palace, the Queen Mother can't wait to choose more beautiful girls into the palace. It's good for you, try your best to bring her to the palace. Send people out of the palace!"

Shen Qingyi and An Qingyao were talking, but it was the mother of Cihui Palace who came to pass the message that the Queen Mother was ill!
