The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 88

Ye Hanyu smiled knowingly, "What you're saying is that since entering the palace, the empress has been restrained by Concubine Shu and Concubine Ning, and has always been mediocre. She always has to do something to prove that she is the real master of the harem. The old ancestor did this to help her gain power."

Qingchen said with sincere emotion: "This is the ancestor's way of balance. Concubine Shu is arrogant. Even if the ancestor doesn't say it, he still sees it. If you want the queen to contribute, you must give her some benefits."

After the banquet was over, everyone went back to the palace. Yun Lan waited on Qingchen to wash up and asked, "Although the young master wants to get what he wants today, he is a bit too adventurous. You must know that the most disliked thing in the harem is restlessness." share."

Qingchen leaned on the soft pillow with peony patterns carved in red silk, and said carefully: "I have been analyzing the situation in the palace these days. The emperor is afraid of his relatives. The empress dowager must be on the emperor's side, but you can see This harem is headed by the Empress Dowager, with the Empress below, Qin Guifei from the Empress Dowager's family, and Lin Wanyi, all of whom are in high positions. This harem is actually dominated by the Empress Dowager and the Queen's family. The Emperor loves Concubine Shu so much, and If Concubine Ning is to be in charge of the Sixth Palace, she wants someone who can compete with the Empress. With Concubine Shu's temperament, she and the Empress are simply incompatible. No matter which of them falls first, the situation where the relatives hold power will not be essential. Change."

Yun Lan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and suddenly realized: "So what the young master means is that if the harem concubine has nothing to do with the previous court, no matter how high the position is, she can only rely on the emperor, and will not threaten the emperor. The imperial power will not be afraid of the ancestors and the emperor, but can become the best candidate to check and balance the concubine. The young master thought of this and decided to send the painting to attract the attention of the empress dowager."

Qingchen stared at the gilded cloud pattern on the corner of the table, and said mockingly: "Look, it turns out that sometimes being alone is also an advantage."

Yun Lan took the tea that Jin Xin handed over, tested the temperature with the back of her hand before putting it in front of her, "That depends on whether the young master will take advantage of it, there are too many helpless people in this palace, see Everyone has the ability to be a little master."

Qingchen carefully sipped the tea and said with a smile: "You flattered me, and I was forced to take this step."

Yun Lan tentatively asked again: "Then the young master thinks it's a coincidence that Concubine Shu sent a Jade Buddha today?"

Qingchen's eyes were slightly cold, and his tone was as cold as the night frost stained in late autumn, even with a bit of grim meaning, "I only know now that behind any seemingly unintentional situation, there may be a conspiracy hidden , this palace really can't tolerate kind-hearted people. If I let that little eunuch go today, how do I know that he won't come to harm me again in the future?"

Yun Lan smiled faintly, "It's good that the young master knows it well."

After the concubines were gone, Xiao Jun went back to the harem and saw the old ancestor walking in the imperial garden, so she went up to help her and asked, "The old ancestor is very interested, don't you need to go back and rest for a while?"

The Empress Dowager asked the Emperor while admiring the beauty of the spring day: "How can I be so coquettish? By the way, Mrs. Xiao is happy. I will let the Empress take care of her. Do you know about this?"

The emperor turned around and waved away the people who followed, and helped the empress dowager to sit on the stone bench by the lake, and then said: "The grandson already knows, and the reward has been awarded to him, and the grandson will be free later." I will go to see her again. What the ancestors thought was that it would be the best arrangement for the queen to take care of Xiao Guiren's fetus."
