royal princess

Chapter 283 Concubine, You Lost
"Go away!" The imperial concubine pushed Aunt Tong away, and stared fiercely at the queen who came down from the sedan chair, "It's you, is it your idea? If you can't bear it yourself, you come to snatch other people's children, you Why don't you go and grab Concubine Xi? You don't dare, do you think?"

The Queen's fingers that were covered in the sleeves were tightly clenched together, the nails went deep into the palm, and there were bursts of pain.

Looking at the current appearance of the noble concubine, the queen sighed deeply, with a bit of pity on her face, and said slowly: "Why is the younger sister of the noble concubine so excited? You probably forgot one thing, even if Princess Yuzhen was born to you I'm sorry, but this palace is the princess's aunt. Besides, you, the biological mother, don't feel sorry for your daughter's illness, and don't allow the imperial doctor to treat her. But the princess has her father. How could the emperor allow his daughter to be tortured by you like this? Therefore, I decreed Ming Bengong to come and take the princess away. For this decree, the imperial concubine can read it in person."

The noble concubine snatched the imperial decree, looked down, her face changed drastically, "Impossible, impossible, the emperor would not be so heartless, not so heartless..."

The queen waved her hand, and everyone in the yard retreated instantly.Even Aunt Hua was dragged out, and in the blink of an eye, only the queen and the imperial concubine were left here.

The two stood opposite each other, one was fully dressed, and the honor remained the same.One with loose hair and a hideous face.

The two can be said to be old enemies. After fighting for so many years, they did not expect such a result in the end.

"Chuzheng, now that you are proud, do you think you are really the winner? How can the fate of your Duke's mansion be better than that of Cao Guo's mansion. Although you are a queen, you will never be a queen in this life." You will win the emperor's heart, and there will always be a concubine Xi on your head, what can you be proud of?"

"Really? If this is the case, why are you so aggrieved? In fact, what you are most dissatisfied with is that this palace is still sitting on the phoenix position, but you have nothing."

The noble concubine's face turned pale, "I have nothing, what else do you have? The emperor's decision not to abolish the empress is just to support the overall situation. Sooner or later, you will give way to Concubine Xi."

"So what? At least before this, when you fell down, I was still the queen. Besides, I have been married to the emperor for many years, and I have been filial to the queen mother and harmonious with the harem. Who doesn't say that this palace is virtuous, generous, and full of virtues, so how can you easily abolish the queen for no reason and shake the foundation of my great domain?" The queen looked at the noble concubine, "This palace is not you. With your child threatening the emperor, I really don't know whether to call you stupid or stupid."

"If the emperor really loves Yuzhen, he shouldn't shame her biological mother and her natal family. The emperor only has that woman in his heart, and his eyes are all about her son. Where is my daughter? ?”

"You don't know how to repent until now." The queen didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so obsessed, and looked at her with a sneer, "In all fairness, the emperor has come to visit Princess Yuzhen every month these few years. If it wasn't for your secret schemes, Using the princess as a shield several times, how can the emperor become more and more alienated from Yuzhen. With a mercenary mother like you, who only wants to use the emperor's daughter to make profits for Cao Guogong's mansion, the emperor does not know that he has angered him. Don't you Forgot, Yuzhen is the emperor's princess, not a tool of your Duke Cao's family. I still can't figure it out now, and it's no wonder that the emperor is getting more and more distant from Yuzhen. If the emperor treats Yuzhen like a prince, I really don't know How arrogant will Cao Guogong's mansion be? Take your own daughter and let your mother's family step on her face to climb up, is this what you want?"

The noble concubine's face was black and blue, and she sneered, "You don't have children yourself, so you have time to figure out other people's psychology. The emperor was bewitched by Concubine Xi's vixen, and the sixth palace favored only one person, and all the favors were given to the father and son of the Su family. Could it be that Are you willing?"

"How about being willing, how about not being willing? This is fate." The empress looked calm, "People like you and I already know everything to pave the way for the family before entering the palace. If this is the case, why are you greedy for sincerity? Concubine Xi can enter the emperor It's her ability. The harem is never short of beauties, why is only Concubine Xi able to accompany the emperor all the way, don't you still understand?"

The noble concubine's body was in a precarious state, leaning against the pillar behind her, she looked at the queen with a sarcasm, "It seems that the queen knows better than this palace, how can someone like the emperor really treat a person well all the time, but it's just that he can use it right now. It's just a father and son. When the overall situation is settled and Concubine Xi is getting older, I don't believe that she can still outshine others."

"Really?" The queen looked up at the sky, "If you can still survive, then wait and see. Before that is not enough, first of all, you have to live alive. Do you think you can still have this chance? With the princess' life Threatening the emperor, you should think about how to get rid of this crime. You and I have been fighting secretly for so many years, and the disputes have continued. I think Concubine Xi was just a victim of the struggle between you and me, but now? Now the dust has finally settled. Concubine, you lost!"

The noble concubine's body trembled, and she collapsed to the ground.

With a pale face and trembling body, it took a while to look up at the queen, "I lost, so what? Queen, you didn't win either."

"I never said that I won, but compared with you, it is enough for me to be the winner." The queen raised her head and looked at the imperial concubine from the corner of her eyes, "Over the years, you and I have fought constantly, with half and half winning. Luo Ding, you have fallen into the dust, and I am still sitting on the phoenix seat, that is enough."

The queen turned around and left slowly, without even giving the concubine a look.

When she returned to Fenghuan Palace, the queen changed out of her phoenix robe and phoenix crown, and sat there, silently in a daze.

The imperial concubine was right, she was also a loser.

But so what?

She can't use her daughter to plan for the family like a noble concubine, she has already given everything she can for the Chu family.

She has a clear conscience.

When the Chu family sent Chu Chenglan into the palace, they should have known about it.

Princess Yuzhen's high fever persisted, the queen in Fenghuan Palace personally guarded the sick bed, and the imperial physician took turns to be on duty in Fenghuan Palace. It was only when Princess Yuzhen's condition stabilized that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Si Jin knew that when Princess Yuzhen's high fever subsided, it was already two days later.

After all, he saved his life.

At the same time, Xiao Qi's verdict against Cao Guogong's mansion and others has also come down.

Both Linguogongfu and Caoguogongfu were dismissed from office and seized titles, but Linguogongfu was only demoted to common people, and they were not allowed to take imperial examinations within three generations.However, Cao Guogong's mansion was punished for several crimes. Adult males were beheaded, and minor males and female relatives were exiled for three thousand miles.The noble concubine's coercion of the princess to make the emperor undoubtedly became the last straw that overwhelmed Cao Guogong's mansion.

At the same time, the noble concubine is still a noble concubine and still lives in Changle Palace.However, Cao Guogong's mansion collapsed because of her actions. Although she was not entirely responsible, the actions of the noble concubine undoubtedly made Cao Guogong's mansion worse.

The title of imperial concubine was left blank, but nothing else was left.

Changle Palace fell silent overnight.

The noble concubine passed out when she heard about Duke Cao's mansion. When she woke up, she tried to commit suicide, but was stopped by the people around her.

Aunt Hua has been bestowed to death. Although the imperial concubine was not convicted, Aunt Hua, as the aunt of Changle Palace, did not speak out to persuade the imperial concubine. She did not fulfill her duty and should be punished.

Because it involved the life of the princess, he was given death.

Otherwise, Aunt Hua could still survive.

The case of the imperial concubine started, and then the other people in the harem were dealt with.

Su Meiren and Chu Chenglan were given the same death penalty, and Wang Meiren was reduced to changing clothes. Murdering a high-ranking concubine should have been a death penalty, but seeing that she saved a pregnant concubine, she was pardoned from the death penalty.

Qiao Xiaoyi was like a useless person who could only lie on the bed for the rest of her life. For the sake of the Queen Mother, she did not demote her status, but the Suyun Palace could not live.

At this time, the queen mother took Qiao Xiaoyi to the apse of Shoukang Palace, and Xiao Qi acquiesced.

After this series of actions, the harem was turbulent, and there was no peace for several months.

Except for the master, all the court ladies and eunuchs involved were taken away by the inner court.

As a result, the harem seemed to be more than half empty, and it became more and more quiet.

In late autumn, Concubine Xi was born.

Another little prince was promoted, the emperor was overjoyed, and held three banquets.

During the full moon banquet, the second prince bestowed the name Yu Ze, concubine Xi Jinxi, and Su Xingyu bestowed the title of Uncle Xingning.

The most eye-catching of Xiao Qi's appointment as a court official is Qin Yuchuan, who entered the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister at a young age.

Especially this Prime Minister Qin was young and handsome, not to mention being favored by the emperor, the important thing is that he has not yet married a wife.

It's really a piece of golden sweet pastry.

It's another spring, and the year of the draft starts again.

Si Jin teased her son to play on the couch, Yu Qin came back covered in sweat, "Mother Concubine."

Si Jin pulled Yu Qin to her side and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, "I told you why I'm so sweaty from playing. I don't want to go to the West Garden to play on the slide at noon."

"Is my brother very good?" Yu Jin immediately changed the subject, lay down on the edge of the couch, and reached out to pinch his brother's nose.

Yu Ze pushed his hand away, looked at his brother with big black eyes twinkling, as if smelling sweat, and shook his head back.

Seeing his younger brother like this, Yu Qin wanted to make trouble with him, getting closer to him.

Yu Ze rolled and rolled inside, Si Jin looked at it and laughed.When these two naughty boys stay together, there is never a time when they are not without tossing.Hastily patted Yu Jin on the back, "Go take a shower first, you smell like sweat, wait for your father to come back, and see if he hugs you."

Yu Jin made a grimace, "Okay, I'll go right away."

As soon as he walked out the door, Yu Jin immediately walked towards his side hall step by step with his little hands behind his back, his face sullen, and his small square steps.

All the palace servants I met along the way stood with their heads bowed, not daring to take a breath.
