Queen's scheming

Chapter 8 Concubine Jing ([-])

Shen Qingyi and Li Tianyou spoke softly for a while, then listened to Qian Tianhai's report outside the palace gate that Concubine Jing had arrived.

Qingyi smiled sweetly. Concubine Jing is worthy of being the Empress Dowager's niece. Although she doesn't have the wisdom of the Empress Dowager to understand the world, she will always appear at the right time and place. It's not bad, just like this moment. It was too early to disturb Li Tianyou and Shen Qingyi's narration of the pain of parting and lovesickness, and it would not be too late to delay the two of her evening arrangements.

Li Tianyou happened to have unfinished memorials, so he made an agreement with Qing Yi, and the dinner was served in Qiankun Palace, so he turned and went back to the front hall.Shen Qingyi bypassed the six huanghuali wood ink landscape screens inlaid with mother-of-pearl behind her, and carefully arranged her clothes. She could be coquettish and willful in front of Li Tianyou, but in front of other people, she was dignified, virtuous, and graceful. after the country.She only understood this truth in this life, and it is no wonder that Li Tianyou hated her more and more in her last life when she was 30 years old. A 30-year-old woman is still capricious, and no man can bear it, let alone sitting on the empress. Thousands of emperors.

When Concubine Jing entered the palace, Shen Qingyi was already quietly sipping the tea, "Concubine pays respects to Empress Empress, Empress is a thousand years old."

"Get up!" Shen Qingyi looked at Concubine Jing carefully with an alluring smile on her face.In the previous life, under Shen Qingwan's instigation, Shen Qingyi was very dissatisfied with Concubine Jing, until finally Concubine Jing was conferred the title of Concubine Duanjing, her emperor's son was poisoned to death, Concubine Duanjing believed that it was Shen Qingyi's fault. , hated Shen Qingyi to the bone, and since then, Shen Qingyi, the mother of a country, was completely isolated by the Six Palaces, and everyone turned to her "soft and kind" sister.

But in fact Concubine Jing is a somewhat cowardly person, which is why Shen Qingyi didn't like her in her previous life.At this time, Concubine Jing was just like Shen Qingyi, a girl who was only 16 years old and didn't know much about the conspiracy of the deep palace.I saw her wearing a pine-colored lake silk inner with ruffled leaves, and an emerald-colored Shu brocade jacket with a slanted front. A few green bamboos were embroidered on the hem of the skirt, and gold silk and muddy bamboo leaves were wrapped around her arms. The hair is wrapped in a silk pattern, and the bun is turned into an exquisite double-knife bun. Two red gold bamboo-shaped round-handle hairpins are placed upright at a vertical angle, and gold-plated hollow tassel butterflies are pasted on both sides of the forehead. Quite a bit of elegant taste.Shen Qingyi smiled lightly, maybe as others said, people always talk about what they lack, Concubine Jing is delicate and sensitive, she doesn't know herself, she is envious of the tenacity of those green bamboos. Pull it out, no matter it is on the clothes or in the Qinzhu Palace, plant green bamboos all over the place.

Shen Qingyi didn't think about it any further, no matter what, a person who has self-knowledge and can find his own position is much better than a black-bellied and ruthless person like Shen Qingwan.

A little maid from the Qiankun Palace brought a black lacquered tea tray, and served Concubine Jing a light green glazed ice-cracked teacup, and two other little maids put a plate on the small table in front of Concubine Jing. Soft pastries and a plate of fresh melons and fruits that have been broken in ice water.

Concubine Jing didn't look at it too much, and only respectfully reported to Shen Qingyi one by one. The six palace affairs in the past three days focused on Shen Qingwan's arrangement.After listening patiently, Qing Yi took a sip of the fragrant tea, looked at Concubine Jing, smiled and said, "You handled it very well, even if I'm in the palace these few days, I'm afraid I can't do as well as you!"

"The empress praised you absurdly. The concubine is just taking advantage of your power, and with the help of your Eunuch Chen from Ningsu Palace, at least there is nothing wrong, otherwise the concubine will be ashamed to face your empress." Jing Jing The concubine hurriedly explained.Her status in Duke Fu's mansion is embarrassing. On the one hand, she is the only young lady in Duke Fu's mansion, so she must be selected as a concubine in the palace; on the other hand, she is a beautiful servant of Duke Fu's son. Born by concubine.The concubine is afraid that once she wins the favor of the emperor, her biological mother will be domineering in the Fuguo duke's mansion and will not respect her as the mistress, so when she was teaching Concubine Jing from a young age, she taught Concubine Jing the distinction between concubines and concubines, the rules of the palace and the virtues of women. Waiting for it to be deeply imprinted in Concubine Jing's heart.Now Concubine Jing heard Shen Qingyi say so, how could she dare to promise that she did a good job.

Shen Qingyi knew Concubine Jing's temperament, and was afraid that if she said something inappropriately, Concubine Jing would be overwhelmed, so she had to be persuasive, and comforted her softly, "I know you are a proper person. The imperial concubine also taught you about the affairs of the palace. Although the rules in this palace are greater than those in the Duke's mansion, the inside is always connected. I will not hide from you. You can understand what is going on in our sixth palace Originally, the two of us sisters were born in the Duke’s Mansion, and those low-ranking concubines were all content, but now it’s different. On the one hand, I hurt my body due to a miscarriage. As for the body, I know that it will be difficult for an heir. As a queen, I have to think about the royal blood, so I took my second sister into the palace, and just now I heard that the queen mother took over the second lady from the Duke of Zhen. Thinking about it, you don't need to tell me clearly, you can also know what this former queen's direct sister did when she entered the palace."

Shen Qingyi slowed down for a while, Concubine Rong Jing digested what she said just now, and took a sip of tea, seeing that Concubine Jing was not as busy picking herself up as before, she sighed, and continued, "This palace's current status It's very embarrassing, my second younger sister is said to be the daughter of the first wife, but in fact she is the daughter of the second wife, no matter how much sisters love each other, she is not a mother after all, isn't she? This palace praises her more, it will chill the hearts of the Liugong sisters; Gong is cold to her, I am afraid that people will say that I treat my concubine's sister harshly, so I can't do anything about it. Or what I said just now, you handled it properly, the only one in terms of The slightest inappropriateness is that you have vacated the positions of two first-class maids, and I will arrange them when I come back. Tell me, how will I arrange this? The person who arranged it will be fine, and the sisters of the Sixth Palace will say that Ben Gong is eccentric, the arrangement is not good, and you are complaining again, you are really throwing a hot potato to Ben Gong."

Concubine Jing was silent. With her exquisite heart, she understood Shen Qingyi's meaning after hearing these words, but she was still a little hesitant. Based on her usual cautiousness, she still couldn't think about it for the time being. Pros and cons, Shen Qing Yiyuan treated her well, but she had never been so heartbroken, so Concubine Jing chose to remain silent for a while.

The two were sipping tea and thinking about their own thoughts, but Yu Lan came into the hall and whispered in Shen Qingyi's ear, "Just now Xiao Anzi told the servant that Shen Ronghua couldn't wait for you in Ningsu Palace, and heard Su The mother said, you have come to the Qiankun Palace, and now you are being accompanied by Yumei and Yuju, and you are coming to the Qiankun Palace. Being oppressed by Yumei and Yuju, she has been frustrated all the time. After going through the three days in Huangjue Temple, and knowing Shen Qingyi's plan, she started to take care of everything.Now that I have received such news, I can't help being anxious. Why are Yumei and Yuju acting like this? Shen Ronghua is not allowed to come to Qiankun Palace until he has gone to bed, but now the empress is here. Shen Ronghua said that sisters love each other deeply, if the empress's heart softens and she leaves Shen Ronghua behind and wins the favor of the emperor, then what can be done.
