Queen's scheming

Chapter 71

"Empress, there is something unclear about my concubine, please ask your empress to clarify." The noble concubine Duanjing said dignifiedly after she gave birth to a son.

Shen Qingyi nestled on the imperial concubine's couch, holding a bowl of black jade chess pieces, with a lazy and relaxed posture, "You just say it."

Duanjing saw that Shen Qingyi did not give up for a long time, so she picked up the purple glazed teacup on the side, took a sip, and said, "Princess Ruiwei is disrespectful to the empress, has evil intentions, and puts the empress in danger. The emperor ordered Chu Yue to get married. Since I am very kind, why did the empress allow her so many dowry jewelry? That dowry box list has already surpassed the regulations of princesses and relatives."

Shen Qingyi smiled indifferently, "Ruiwei opened her mouth in person, and half of the things in it were from her and the noble concubine's original palace. If I don't allow it, it seems that this imperial sister-in-law wants to occupy my sister-in-law It’s the same thing, so I have to allow it.”

"The empress is worried too much. The internal affairs of Princess Ruiwei and the imperial concubine are all recorded in the house. If they are all taken away by the princess, when the palace is redistributed in the future, won't they have to be re-purchased? The same is true. Silver. Moreover, the Royal Concubine and Princess Ruiwei are no different than others. The items in their palaces are all extraordinary, and the items in one palace are worth several palaces. Although the state treasury’s empty situation has improved a few days ago, the harem’s Expenditures have been reduced, as usual there will be a large-scale talent show next year, and it will cost a large sum of money. Besides, there are rumors outside the palace that Princess Ruiwei is extravagant, and the dowry she brings over can be compared to half of the Chuyue treasury." Concubine Duanjing frowned, worried.If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive Chai Mi is, Rui Wei's move is too much, she is married in a beautiful way, and the harem will have to be frugal for a while.

Shen Qingyi pursed her lips and smiled, not only was it half of the Chuyue treasury, but also half of the Dali treasury, but many ornaments could not be exchanged for silver, if they were all exchanged for bank notes, it would be more than half. "This palace has also discussed this matter with the emperor. The emperor has canceled next year's draft. After all, she is also the emperor's younger sister. He probably feels sorry for Ruiwei. Whatever Princess Ruiwei asks, the emperor will agree to it. So I have nothing to do, I can only save a little bit in the Sixth Palace." Shen Qingyi said with a sigh, "Look at you playing chess with Bengong absent-mindedly, you can still gain the upper hand, Bengong's chess skills are really bad Very good."

"Your Majesty may not have missed it in her heart, it's just that the concubine and concubine kept it between her lips, and the Empress kept it in her heart." Duan Jing finally gave birth to a son, and the victory or defeat was already divided.

Concubine Duanjing used the glass armor to outline the green bamboo pattern on her skirt, and said softly, "I remember that when Concubine Wan just entered the palace, the empress once said that Concubine Wan and Concubine Xue are not suitable for giving birth to princes, but Now Concubine Wan is pregnant..."

"I can't prevent Concubine Wan or Concubine Xue from becoming pregnant. I won't do anything to the child, but it's hard to say whether Concubine Xue will just watch the birth of Concubine Wan's child." Shen Qing Yi pushed back the goose-yellow cloud ball orchid-patterned sleeves, caressing the scratches on her arms, and said softly.

Concubine Duanjing glanced at Shen Qingyi's scars, and quickly looked away, this Princess Ruiwei is too vicious, seeing the purple marks on Shen Qingyi's snow-like crystal clear skin, "Concubine Xue knows Min Rong What happened to Hua was framed by Concubine Wan, and I hate her deeply, but Concubine Xue is so scheming, it may not be easy to bring down Concubine Wan."

"The so-called eating a ditch and gaining wisdom, Concubine Xue will gradually learn to be good. Besides, women are pregnant in October, and the days are very long. If you can't do it once, there is still time, right?" Not deep enough, but with someone bestowed by the Empress Dowager standing by her side, even if Shen Qingwan cannot be harmed, self-protection is more than enough. As long as Concubine Xue stands upright, she will fight endlessly with Concubine Wan.Concubine Wan is afraid that she will go all out to keep the child every day.

Concubine Duanjing frowned and said, "If Concubine Xue doesn't succeed, what should I do? Once Shen Qingwan gives birth to a child, with her scheming methods, I'm afraid there won't be a place for the two of us, my mother." Based on the observation of the past half a year, Duan Jing saw every piece of Shen Qingwan's work, and felt that Shen Qingwan was meticulous in her thoughts, and she always left behind tricks in every step, and her attacks were extremely ruthless, just like a poisonous snake, always He spit out the letter and stared at it, once he saw the opportunity, he would bite on it desperately.

Shen Qingyi's eyes narrowed slightly, as if loathing the bright sunlight that shone from the glazed skylight, she said calmly, "If Shen Qingwan is destined to give birth to a prince, I don't mind the matter of leaving the mother and keeping the child. If Qing Wan can't keep this child, maybe she can live a few more years, if she really has such a good life and gave birth to a dragon son, then I can't blame Bengong."

"With the words of the queen empress, the concubine will feel at ease. It's the emperor's place. The empress has also seen these days. Any request from the concubine Wan will be accepted by the emperor. Except for not staying in the Zili Palace, everything It’s all about concubine Wan first. If things go on like this, after ten months, I’m afraid there won’t be any room for concubines.” Concubine Duanjing worried, she, Mi Yurou, is the concubine of the Fuguo Duke’s mansion. Qing Wan is the concubine daughter of Duke Feng's Mansion. Once Shen Qing Wan gives birth to a prince, her status as a noble concubine will be in jeopardy.

Shen Qingyi smiled lightly, if it wasn't because Shen Qingwan was pregnant with a child, she would have been executed by Ling Chi at this moment, did Shen Qingwan think that she could be as valuable as a mother and child, reach the sky in one step, and erase all past mistakes?Li Tianyou's responsiveness to her was all for the sake of the child.

"The meaning of this palace is the meaning of the emperor. Don't forget, the emperor has made a promise. He has already ordered to kill Concubine Wan, but this order has not been withdrawn!" Shen Qingyi smiled and said to Concubine Duanjing, "Don't worry. That is, if you have me in the middle palace for one day, you will be guaranteed a position in the harem where one person is below one person and above ten thousand people."

After Yu Lian sent Concubine Duanjing away, Yu He brought up a silver plate embossed with peony flowers, "Your Majesty, it's time to change your dressing."

Shen Qingyi sighed, threw away the black jade chess piece in his hand, and said, "I didn't feel any pain when I was injured, but every time I change the dressing, it seems like it will kill me."

Yu He carefully put Shen Qingyi's trousers on her arm, and said distressedly, "Every time the brocade cloth is removed, it is stained with blood and pus. How can it not hurt? Fortunately, the imperial physicians in the palace are skilled in medicine, so changing it two or three times will not hurt." It's almost done, Niang Niang, you just have to bear with it."

"Endure? Don't bear it? Only with this pain can I truly remind Ben Gong of the pain I suffered in the past few days. Ben Gong will make Rui Wei pay back twice as much." Shen Qingyi took a breath, the wound was still there There was pus seeping, and every time the dressing was changed, the pus had to be squeezed out.

"What has Princess Ruiwei been doing these past few days?" Shen Qingyi held back the pain, gritted her teeth and asked.

Yu He raised her head and applied the wound medicine to Shen Qingyi, "Everything is within your expectations, Princess Ruiwei has already started to exchange those decorations into bank notes."

Shen Qingyi shook her head lightly, and said softly, "Should I say that Princess Ruiwei is infatuated? Or should I say that she is extremely stupid?"
