Queen's scheming

Chapter 40 Break ([-])

In the Ningsu Palace, Shen Qingyi sat at the head of the main hall, wearing a golden spherical orchid outerwear with pine flower color wide sleeves and pinching the waist, and a honey-colored fairy skirt strung with rice beads and a hundred butterflies, quietly tasting a cup of tea. Xiangming, with a cold expression, sizing up everyone.

The imperial concubine Duanjing was firmly seated at Shen Qingyi's lower head. She wore a dark green brocade high-waisted undergarment skirt, a cyan ink-and-blue outer garment with bamboo knots, and accessories, but she didn't make any sound, she just sat upright.Concubine Xue Gui was still grounded, and the seat was vacant, Shen Qingwan sat softly and softly, talking to Concubine Min in a low voice, everyone was a little at a loss, not knowing what Shen Qingyi was going to do, so I asked Ann, He didn't speak, and didn't let them kneel down.

"Imperial Concubine Duanjing, announce the imperial edict of this palace!" Shen Qingyi glanced at the crowd and said impatiently.All the concubines were curious about what kind of decree the queen was going to announce. Seeing this reluctance, someone might suffer disaster again.

Concubine Duanjing stood up and performed the blessing ceremony, then took the bright yellow brocade brochure handed over by Yu Lian, and slowly unfolded it to read.The purpose is nothing more than to promote Shen Qingwan from fourth-rank Ronghua to third-rank Jieyu. This is the empress dowager's intention. Only the higher Shen Qingwan climbs, the more confident Duke Feng will be. Li Tianyou wants this effect.

The concubines couldn't understand the meaning of Empress Shen Qingyi. It stands to reason that Shen Qingwan was promoted, and the empress should be happy as her elder sister. Why did this decree be so gnashed? Could it be that the two sisters have some conflicts that she doesn't know about? .

Although Shen Qingyi was very angry on the surface, she was about to burst into joy in her heart. She finally didn't have to play the scene of sisterly love with Shen Qingwan, and the days of hypocrisy were finally over.For the past five consecutive days, Li Tianyou had summoned Shen Qingwan to serve her bed, and today she was promoted to her position. It was time for her, a jealous queen, to explode.

Shen Qingwan hadn't realized Shen Qingyi's twists and turns, she was only immersed in her own joy, saluting and thanking her.After Concubine Xuegui was grounded, she finally got the chance. The emperor treated her better and better. Not only did he call her to serve her bed frequently, but he was also promoted to be a third-rank Jieyu today. She believed that one day Li Tianyou would fall into her tender love... The township can't extricate itself, noble concubine, concubine, imperial concubine, empress, she has to climb up step by step.

Shen Qingwan knelt for a long while, before the joyful mood warmed up in her heart, she noticed something strange.Shen Qingyi didn't even tell her to stand up for half a cup of tea, until Shen Qingwan felt that her knees were numb, and then she raised her eyes to look at Shen Qingyi full of resentment.Only after this look did she realize that Shen Qingyi was looking at her coldly, Shen Qingwan softly reminded, "Empress Empress..."

"Let's get up!" Shen Qingyi said with disdain, "Sisters should learn more from Shen Jieyu in the future. In our palace, except for concubines who are pregnant, and Concubine Duanjing, who is the assistant to the sixth palace, they have been promoted before. Status, all the younger sisters were given the same status when they first entered the palace, and they have always been the same status. If this is not the case, there will be a bright future."

Everyone in the room listened to the teaching with held breath. Obviously, the empress is angry, and she is jealous with her own sister. The only thing they pray for is not to hurt Chi Yu, and there is no unreasonable desire to be promoted.Who can offend this aunt!

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shen Qingyi continued her "jealousy" words, "Since the emperor has set this precedent, I will also learn a lesson by the way, so how about it? Concubine Min had a miscarriage and hurt her body, but she just caught up with me The liver qi in the palace is stagnant, the emperor and this palace have no time to take care of you, you and Shen Jieyu live together in the Zili Palace, and you are also happy." Shen Qingyi turned her head and turned to Concubine Duanjing, "Another Jin Fengmin concubine is the fourth-rank Ronghua. Yizhi."

Shen Qingyi's actions were like throwing a boulder into a calm lake, causing all the concubines to whisper and discuss.Concubine Min can be regarded as very lucky. First, she was pregnant with a dragon heir and was promoted to the throne.This reason is a bit far-fetched, the queen empress clearly wanted to embarrass Shen Jieyu and reward Shen Jieyu on purpose.Now everyone is secretly annoyed, why don't they live in Zili Palace? Even if they can't share a piece of the pie with Shen Jieyu's imperial favor, it would be good to have a higher status.

Concubine Min, no, it's Min Ronghua now, she knelt down to accept the order, and looked at Shen Qingwan with a smile, her gratitude was beyond words.

Originally, Shen Qingwan was a little resentful, but after seeing Min Ronghua's performance, she actually laughed.I once promised Min Ronghua to speak kindly in front of the queen mother, but she didn't mention a word in the Cihui Palace. Now that Shen Qingwan was entrusting her with the position, Min Ronghua thought it was the result of his help, so Well, now that I am promoted, I have a reason to ask my father for money, but since my father was forced to donate 10 taels of gold, he has become more and more stingy, and the money he gives is really limited, so why not make good use of Min Rong Hua is good.

Even if Min Ronghua was promoted to the position, even if she was promoted to the concubine position, it would be useless without the favor of the emperor Li Tianyou, it was just a position, and when she succeeded in ascending the position in the future, she would just give it to others.Shen Qingwan felt relieved after thinking this way.Little did she know that this was just Shen Qingyi's warm-up exercise.

"After talking about rewards, let's talk about punishments!" Shen Qingyi glanced at the complacent Shen Qingwan, straightened her body, and shouted, "Yulian!"

Yu Lian responded, holding a dark blue brocade booklet respectfully with both hands, Shen Qingyi refused to accept it in disgust, and swept the booklet down on the shining gold and stone bricks with a flick of his sleeve.The booklet bounced a few times with strength, and opened on a page in the middle.

Everyone was at a loss, looking at it, it was not someone else on the booklet, but two naked men and women, all of them had been taught by the nanny, and had served in bed, how could they not know what it was, and immediately turned their faces away Go, complain again and again.

When Shen Qingwan saw this thing, her face immediately turned pale, and she turned to look at Yumei and Yuju, wishing that a knife would fly out of her eyes.How could this thing be here with Shen Qingyi?
"Shen Jieyu! Are you going to explain to Bengong why this booklet appeared in your Xuehua Pavilion?" Shen Qingyi feigned anger.Ever since Yulian mentioned that Miss Shaoyao once gave Shen Yeshi a book about brothels where men and women had intercourse, Shen Qingyi asked Yumei to pay attention to Xuehua Pavilion. Shaking, it's useless for her to ask for that thing, so she must have taken this booklet from Shaoyao for Shen Qingwan's sake.

"What did the empress say? This pamphlet is in my Xuehua Pavilion? How is this possible?" Shen Qingwan knelt down and said in amazement.She would never admit anything, anyway, all the concubines present here have seen Shen Qingyi's jealousy towards her, she can definitely say that this is Shen Qingyi's framing of her.
