Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 361 Negotiation
Because of Wang Baozhu's heartbreaking words, Qin Guifei was so angry that her chest hurt and she couldn't sleep all night, thinking that she must go to find Wang Baozhu's son, mere Jieyu, if she dared to commit the following crimes, she would teach her to suffer !

Unexpectedly, after the time passed the next day, Chaoyun came to report: The emperor stayed drunk in Yunxia Garden last night, and Wang Jieyu served him all night without sleep. The emperor woke up this morning and went back to Kunning Palace to meet with the queen. Having breakfast together, the empress was very happy to see that the emperor was not drunk at all, refreshed, and immediately asked for an order to promote Wang Jieyu to the concubine position. The emperor readily agreed and bestowed the title Concubine Li!

When Concubine Qin got the news, she felt even more resentful, and couldn't even eat breakfast.

After entering the palace, although Wang Baozhu's background was changed, others didn't know about it, how could Concubine Qin Gui didn't understand?Wang Baozhu was a lowly maiko bought from other provinces. Because of her outstanding dancing skills, she was favored by Yuan Zhao, who was still the King of Qin at that time, and became a concubine.
Chao Yun said: "Madam: I heard that the reason why Wang Jieyu got the concubine Jin here is because of what she said to Eunuch Wei last night. The emperor was not very drunk, and he heard it all! The emperor today Chen praised Wang Jieyu to the empress, saying that she understands righteousness, is very pure, and is very sensible..."

Concubine Qin spit out the sip of tea she drank into her mouth, and poohed twice: "Wang Baozhu is pure and good? You are so ridiculous! If the queen has not become deaf or blind, she should remember: when she was still in the Qin Palace, the Palace Who in the back house is the most jealous! The princess is only out of the mansion for half a day, and she, Wang Baozhu, can pick up the women in the back house to fight, and the three concubines have lost their babies because of it..."

When Concubine Qin Guifei said this, she suddenly stopped, holding the teacup in a daze for a while, then slowly put the teacup in her hand back on the table, with a sneer on her lips:
"I finally figured it out! That bastard Wang Baozhu has long been Empress Xu's minion! At the beginning, Wang Baozhu caused troubles in the palace many times, but every time he was able to stay out of it, even if he caused such a big disaster that time, The fetuses of three concubines were harmed, and she was only grounded for a hundred days, but others were implicated! If it is because King Qin favors and indulges Wang Baozhu, it is better to say that Princess Qin is clever! She has been Cover Wang Baozhu, raise Wang Baozhu like a wolf, and kill other women's fetuses for her, so that the palace will only keep her own... Humph! What a vicious Mrs. Xu!"

Chao Yun said softly: "Your Majesty, the masters of the other palaces have all gone to congratulate Concubine Li..."

Concubine Qin snorted coldly: "Let them go if they want! It's just an ordinary concubine, what's the big deal? Bengong wants to see, Wang Baozhu stepped on Bengong's shoulders and climbed up to become Concubine Li. What kind of face came here to kowtow and offer tea to Ben Gong!"

Yulu walked in quickly from the outside, blessed Fushen and said: "Your Majesty, the Kunning Palace sent someone to spread the word, saying that the empress has invited the noble concubine to go to the Fengyi Hall of Kunning Palace to discuss matters!"

Concubine Qin looked at Yulu, and said angrily, "Who was sent to call? Where is the person?"

If it was Mr. Yan who came, call him in to mock him: Didn't the emperor tell me that I was sick and asked me to rest and take care of him?Why did you come to invite me to discuss matters after only one night?Could it be that the emperor did not let the queen know when he asked you Mr. Yan to pass on the oral order?
Thinking that the emperor would sometimes hide the things he caused to the queen in order to protect herself, Qin Guifei felt inexplicably relaxed and happy, and then thinking about the emperor's pampering and connivance to her, and the love and care for Jing'er and Luo'er in every possible way, He was even more self-satisfied in his heart: Jing'er was a picky eater, Luo'er was weak, for this reason, the emperor moved back to the Ziyu Palace many times the precious food and medicines tributed by the vassal states, and told them that these items were precious, if all the children were divided equally, who would I can't even eat enough, why don't I just make up for Jing'er and Luo'er, so I don't have to mention it to the queen... In the eyes of the emperor, the importance and status of himself and his sons and daughters is probably beyond the expectations of the queen, right?

A smile appeared on Concubine Qin's face unconsciously, the pent-up air in her chest was swept away, and her mood suddenly brightened.

I only heard Yulu say: "Return to my mother: it's not Mr. Yan who came here, but the two little father-in-laws under Mr. Yan! My lady wants to send them in for questioning?"

Concubine Qin waved her hand: "That's all! I don't have anything to ask. If the queen invites you, just go! Come on, re-dress for me!"

When Concubine Qin went to the Fengyi Hall of Kunning Palace, she saw the Queen sitting high on the phoenix seat, surrounded by all the maids of Cai'e, eunuchs, Concubine Ning and other harem women, all of whom gave seats. , Wang Baozhu, who has been conferred the title of Concubine Li, has exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, and is standing beside the queen with a smile, saying something flatteringly, the queen is very happy to hear it, and smiles and nods frequently.

Seeing this situation in the eyes of Concubine Qin, she felt very piercing and glaring: Once upon a time, in the Qin Palace, she helped Concubine Qin take care of some sundries, and she stood beside Concubine Qin like a dog leg, while watching The concubine's face was pale, and she spoke softly and flattering words!

Concubine Qin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and stepped forward to salute Empress Xu.

The queen gave her a seat and said with a smile: "Sister Qin came a step late. Sister Wang is gentle and considerate. She knows the meaning of courtesy and righteousness. The emperor personally named her Concubine Li. Sister Qin also heard about this. Just now, my palace and Ning Bin and others They all met Concubine Li, each with congratulations, sister Qin..."

Concubine Qin is of course prepared: "I also have a congratulatory gift here—Sister Wang, congratulations!"

"Sister, thank you, Sister Qin!"

As Wang Baozhu said, she stepped back from the phoenix seat.

The Queen said: "It stands to reason that Concubine Li should have kowtowed to Concubine Li in person at the Purple Jade Palace to pay her respects. However, since everyone is gathered together today, Concubine Li doesn't have to go that far. Last night Taking care of the emperor for one night is quite tiring! I will offer a cup of tea to the noble concubine here, and all the etiquette will be enough!"

Wang Baozhu obeyed, brought a cup of tea from the table next to her, walked up to Concubine Qin, knelt down slowly, raised the teacup over her head, and said in a rambling voice: "Sister Qin, please use tea!"

Concubine Qin tore a brocade handkerchief forcefully in her armhole with both hands, her hatred was overwhelming: As a noble concubine, she can accept tea greetings from low-ranking concubines, accept kneeling and lectures on her own territory, nothing else, just That majesty and nobility is enough to frighten them!Let them be respectful, follow the rules, and be careful in front of me from now on, not daring to neglect in the slightest!

The empress said softly and cleverly, the rights that she should enjoy as a noble concubine have been unloaded just like that!
And the bitch Wang Baozhu actually cooperates with the queen, and even saves a sentence of imperial concubine empress, so casual, the rules and etiquette of meeting wives and concubines in ordinary people's homes are better than her!
Concubine Qin endured for a while, but finally calmed down. She had the best face. In front of the concubines, she didn't want to refute the queen and fight for her own rights, but she saw Mr. Yan standing beside the queen. The indifferent expression reminded her of what happened yesterday: I don't know if the emperor is still angry with her?

It's better to coax the emperor back first, and then deal with the empress. As for the concubine Li, there are many ways to deal with her!
The future is long, and it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!
Qin Guifei persuaded herself, smiled, and reached out to take the teacup from Wang Baozhu.

Seeing this situation, the queen was very relieved and said: "Sister Qin is invited to come here, in addition to concubine Li, it is also to discuss important matters. Sister Qin will not forget, right?"

Concubine Qin raised her head to look at the queen, her heart sank slightly: How could she forget?The emperor kept his filial piety for the first emperor for three years, and he never went to the harem to select any beauties for three years. The harem was empty and barren, and there were very few concubines, yet the emperor earned a good reputation for being wise and filial!Now that the three-year period of filial piety has expired, the royal court has its own good deeds, and implores the emperor to consider the stability and prosperity of the Dahua Dynasty for generations to come, select beautiful women, fill the harem, and choose those with excellent qualifications to be the sixth concubine It is hoped that the harem will be prosperous and enriched, which will benefit the emperor's branches and leaves, and the succession of descendants... Qin Guifei naturally knows that this matter cannot be stopped, but when she thinks that a large number of young and beautiful beauties will enter the palace and divide the emperor's favor, Qin Guifei There is infinite resentment and hatred in my heart!
Facing the queen, Concubine Qin concealed her emotions, and replied with a smile: "Sister, how can my sister forget such an important event? The beautiful girls from all over the country began to be sent to the capital half a year ago, and they all died three months ago." Entering the Nangong Palace, they will be selected one by one by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Those who are qualified in appearance and body will stay, and the rest will be repatriated. Those who stay will be taught by the nuns and talented people in the palace. So far, they must have learned almost all the etiquette rules Bar?"

The queen said: "The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to report the day before yesterday: all the beautiful women have been trained, and they can be sent to the palace, and the emperor will personally select them! But if you really want to look at thousands of beautiful women, it will take a lot of time. Time! The emperor is a sage monarch who puts the most importance on government affairs and manages many opportunities every day. He really has no free time. Shicai, the emperor has already confessed to this palace, and I will give full power to this palace. I can't do it alone, so I have to ask sister Qin, And a few concubines to help!"

Concubine Qin hurriedly stood up and bowed her head, saying: "My sister should be diligent and diligent, and help my sister with all my strength!"

The queen smiled and nodded: "That's great! There are too many women in this show, there are three to four thousand people. Although we don't have to choose one in a million, it is very difficult to choose one in a hundred... There are still three vacancies for the four concubines in the palace. , other ordinary concubines, nobles and beauties must be available! Therefore, we must work hard to select the purest and most beautiful women to enrich the harem!"

Concubine Qin: "Yes! My sister understands!"

The queen raised her finger and pointed to Wang Baozhu and said: "I refer to the draft rules of the previous dynasties. We need to be divided into three groups. At the same time, we will have a look at the show girls. The three concubines are in one group. The concubine is in a group, and how about you, sister Qin, with the assistance of Concubine Li, I will form a group with you!"

Concubine Qin looked at Wang Baozhu, but before answering, the Empress said again: "Concubine Li is young and energetic, and Sister Qin has good eyesight. The two of you will be responsible for selecting the beautiful girls who come in from Nangong. There are more people there... Thank you for your hard work." !"
