royal princess

Chapter 265
Just as Aunt Hua walked out, Mao Donglin was walking in from the outside. As soon as he saw her, he immediately greeted her, and said in a low voice: "Just got the news, the Empress has sent Mrs. Wang to Suyun Palace."

"What?" Aunt Hua really didn't know what to say at the moment, what does the Queen want to do now? "I'll go in and report back to the empress."

Mao Donglin looked at Aunt Hua's back and hurried away, and looked up at the sky by himself. There have been frequent strange things in the harem recently. Is it true that the sky is about to change?

After hearing Aunt Hua's words, the noble concubine couldn't react for a while, "Send it to Qiao Lingyi?" The queen really figured out that even though the Suyun Palace was very close to Yihexuan, the emperor never went there. What's the point of sending people there?
"Yes, it was indeed sent to Suyun Palace."

"What is the empress doing to Yihexuan?" Concubine Xi blatantly disobeyed Yi's decree, the empress can't just expose it lightly like this, how can she not punish her for such contempt for the empress's dignity?

However, if the empress punishes Concubine Xi, firstly, Concubine Xi has a child in her stomach, and secondly, the emperor's thoughts are unclear, the consequences... I dare not think about it.

At this moment, the queen is afraid that she has put herself on the fire, and it is really hard to come down and get out.

Queen Mother... This move is really clever.The arms of the queen and concubine Xi were dismantled, and now the queen is placed on a hot pan to roast.So what does the Queen Mother want to do next?
The noble concubine thought of this, and looked at Aunt Hua, "If someone comes from Shoukang Palace, just say that I'm not feeling well, and it's inconvenient to meet guests. You should also go to the empress's place to inform, and say that I'm sick, and I'll be sick for a few days .”

Aunt Hua understood, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty can hide for a few days, but now the situation in the palace is unknown, so I really can't fill myself in."

The imperial concubine shook her head, "Everyone is tied to the same boat now, so I can't escape, but I don't want to get involved in the contest between the empress dowager and the empress. The empress dowager wants Qiao Lingyi to compete for favor, but the empress is Mrs. Wang, although the two of them have formed an alliance to some extent, fundamentally speaking, they still have different interests. But whether it is Qiao Lingyi or Wang Jingyun, it has nothing to do with this palace. I don't want to make this trip. Muddy water, just to watch the excitement, but it's a pity that Yihexuan still couldn't enter, this Concubine Xi..."

The imperial concubine didn't say what she said behind her, but she thought about herself, if she changed to the position of Concubine Xi, would she be able to do the same thing like her.After thinking for a long time, the imperial concubine didn't understand what she would do.

Competing for favor in front of the imperial court does not happen overnight.Whether it's her or the queen, in these years, I have never been short of recommending other women, pulling these people into my territory, forming an alliance, and fighting against each other.

But it's really rare in the harem to fight alone like Concubine Xi.

That's not right, Concubine Xi was originally on the empress's boat, but now she has been kicked off the boat by the empress, and the two of them may not be able to travel together in the future.

The concubine's thoughts became more and more chaotic, and the more she thought about it, the further she went.The emperor is now more powerful in the court, and the talk of the big families is getting weaker. After the present, he will recruit talents.Not to mention others, another one like Qin Yuchuan would be overwhelming.

Thinking of Qin Yuchuan, the imperial concubine felt very headache. This person didn't know where he got the ability to know all the secrets of the big families.So often people like her father would be very passive, and often only one side would come up with a solution, and the other side would be able to respond the next day, and they could catch the pain with one sentence, making it hard to guard against.

He also thought about getting rid of Qin Yuchuan, but Su Shengyang of Xiaolongwei sent people to protect him around the clock, so these people failed several times.

Su Xingyu proposed a strategy of relocating the Ding, and established the Ding Division. Juehu County, which was avoided by everyone in the past, is now a fertile field for thousands of miles. Every year, the income goes directly to the emperor's private treasury. With money by his side, the emperor is naturally full of confidence.

Su Shengyang held the position of commander of Xiaolongwei, guarding the safety of the emperor and controlling the safety of the palace.There is another move to expand the army, and the military power is getting heavier and heavier.Moreover, Su Shengyang also has the merit of suppressing bandits, which is a real military achievement in his hands.

Don't tell me Qin Yuchuan, that is a vicious dog under the emperor's command. The important thing is that this person has great powers and seems to know the family very well.All kinds of information are at your fingertips, which is simply impossible to guard against.

Of these three people, one is Concubine Xi's father, one is her elder brother, and the other is her childhood sweetheart.

Before she knew it, Concubine Xi, who had always lived a low-key life in the harem, had become so powerful in the previous dynasty.Perhaps Concubine Xi herself was too low-key, even though she knew the abilities of her father and brother, she didn't pay attention to her, but now it's different.

Concubine Xi gave birth to a new prince, this world...

The imperial concubine is very troublesome. She is a woman, but she just obeys the family's orders and enters the palace to serve the emperor for the family's profit. She is not proficient in these matters of government affairs.Letting her think about this now would kill her.

"Your Majesty." Aunt Hua saw that the imperial concubine's complexion was not very good, and said quickly, "Why don't you take a rest first."

The imperial concubine waved her hand, "Go and see what the queen is doing to Yihexuan?" This is the most important thing.

"Yes." Aunt Hua hurried out.

When she came back after inquiring about the news, the imperial concubine was playing in the yard with Princess Yuzhen, when she saw Aunt Hua coming in, she asked the nanny to take the princess down, and looked at her, "Did you find out?"

"The Empress has not moved."

The imperial concubine frowned, "How is it possible?"

"The servant girl also inquired about the fact that the emperor sent He Shiyi to Yihexuan as an errand."

"It's not that I haven't been there before." The imperial concubine didn't care.

"No, this time I stayed in Yihexuan."

The noble concubine was taken aback, and looked at Aunt Hua.

Aunt Hua spoke again, "This time when Xu Sanshan went to announce the decree, it was to deal with Shi Yi, and personally said that the emperor had promised Concubine Xi that Yihexuan would never admit newcomers."

The imperial concubine's expression changed greatly, "Is this really true?"

"It's true."

Never enter newcomers?
The emperor actually opened his mouth to make such a promise, no wonder Concubine Xi is so confident, no wonder she dared to defy the queen's order.

Hehe, it's really... It's really unexpected.

"Ma'am, then... what should I do next?"

"Next?" The imperial concubine sneered, "There is only such a big boundary in this harem. As the emperor ascends the throne longer, there will be more concubines in this harem. In the previous dynasty, even the queen's Feng Huan There used to be other concubines in the palace. Today, the ranks are still young, so the harem is not crowded, but the Yihexuan Palace is no longer under the Changle Palace after the expansion, but the emperor promised her so, you Do you know what that means?"

Aunt Hua shook her head.

The imperial concubine's complexion gradually turned cold, "I really didn't expect that our emperor is still a seed of infatuation." This Concubine Xi really can't stay, if she stays, everyone will have no way out.

The imperial concubine walked back to the main hall step by step, her back under the sun staggered slightly.

The Suyun Hall was also busy, Qiao Lingyi invited Wang Jingyun to drink tea in her main hall, and asked people to quickly clean up the side hall and come out for her to live in.

The two sat facing each other, Wang Jingyun was actually a little nervous, with her head half down, and she didn't say a word.

Wang Jingyun actually felt very embarrassed in her heart. She was afraid that people in the harem would sneer when they saw her again.

Qiao Lingyi held a teacup and looked at Wang Jingyun. Even though he was unhappy, he still smiled, and said slowly: "I used to feel quite bored living here by myself, but sister Wang came just in time. Let's You can talk to relieve boredom as a companion."

Wang Jingyun raised her head and smiled, "It's just causing trouble for Sister Qiao."

"What's the trouble? It's not your fault to repair the palace. It's a good thing. When it's repaired, I'll go back to the new bedroom. Then I'll go to you for tea."

Qiao Lingyi didn't mention Yihexuan at all in his words, and only talked about Wang Jingyun's embarrassing incident as a trivial matter of moving the palace and repairing it, which made Wang Jingyun feel very comfortable.Looking at Qiao Lingyi now, he didn't feel as defensive as before. He just smiled and said, "I will definitely invite sister Qiao to come to thank you for today's kindness."

"It's too outlandish for the sisters to say these things. The side hall still needs to be cleaned. If you don't come in at noon, you can eat at my place. It's just for me to be the host."

Wang Jingyun thanked her with a smile, and the two gradually became happier.

The night gradually sank, and the hustle and bustle of the day was suppressed by the night.

The Yihe Pavilion is brightly lit, and the adjacent Suyun Hall is also flickering.But in the courtyard where Su Rui lives, the lights are dim, and the courtyard is quiet.

Under the light, Su Rui sat there quietly, holding a simple pouch in her hand, with a big smile on her lips.After a while, I put the purse into another slightly larger purse.

Sitting quietly in this dimly lit room, such quietness makes one feel horrified from the depths of one's bones.

After working for more than half an hour, I undressed and went to the couch, and after covering the brocade quilt, it was difficult to fall asleep even if I closed my eyes.She kept thinking about the words from home that she couldn't keep on consuming like this, exhausting her youthful beauty, and waiting for a new show girl.

Whether it's the queen mother, the empress, or the imperial concubine, if these people don't do anything, she will just push them.Anyway, these people never put themselves in their eyes. In their eyes, I am just a clown. If this is the case, there is nothing I dare not do.

Big deal, die together.

You are the one who can survive only if you are more ruthless than others.

These words kept ringing in her mind repeatedly, yes, that's it, only if you are not afraid of death, can you not be afraid of death.

To do what you want to do.

Hui'an walked in lightly, heard the sound of turning over in the tent, and said in a low voice: "My lord, go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Go to bed now, you can go too."
