Palace scheming: Empress Leng Gong I

Chapter 23 Returning to Fenggong Palace (3)
"Well, then let's stay!" Yun Qing nodded casually, looking at Qiuyue's rigidity, she just laughed at her fickleness, such a seemingly perverse and arrogant woman lost her original self in just a few days smell.

That's all, originally she was interested in her strong character, but since Xiao Taohong's slap that day, it made her see clearly that it is not those who have a flamboyant personality who have courage and insight, the important thing is to make the right decision at the right time. move.

When Yun Qing went to thank the queen mother that night, she was surprised to see Xuanyuan Yi also coming.When the Empress Dowager saw Xuanyuan Yi who had rarely come to Xiangning Palace, the surprise on her face made Yun Qing curious again.

Although she was curious in her heart, she didn't express much on her face.She knows that in this harem, everyone has a unique life experience that is not known to the general public.If you want to survive in the palace, it is best to let yourself be a person who knows nothing.

Not to mention that Xuanyuan Yi had a rare disease at such a young age, even Xuanyuan Moyu, who seemed to be unrestrained and unrestrained, also had a sad past that she did not expect.

Alas, maybe it is just in response to the sentence, the sad things through the ages are destined to the emperor's family!
"Yi'er, quickly apologize to your sister-in-law, you have caused her a lot this time." The queen mother smiled, and her voice was full of motherly tenderness that Yun Qing could detect.It's just that Yun Qing deliberately ignored Xuanyuan Yi's calm move away from the Queen Mother, and also ignored the sadness floating quietly in the Queen Mother's eyes.

"No, queen mother." With a slight smile, she turned around to face Xuanyuan Yi, bowed to him when he was slightly stunned, and thanked him: "It is Yunqing who should thank King Anqing! If it wasn't for the prince this time If you give me a helping hand, Yun Qing is probably already dead. Therefore, Yun Qing entrusted the blessing of the prince, and asked the prince to accept Yun Qing's gift."

"Emperor's sister-in-law is polite." Xuanyuan Yi's handsome eyes sank, and he reached out to support her in time, and said: "Imperial sister-in-law doesn't remember my brother's mistakes, it is my luck. Now that my brother's merits and demerits are equal, it can be regarded as the same. The queen's wife owes nothing to each other."

"Yi'er?" The queen mother frowned at Xuanyuan Yi's rude words.However, Yun Qing laughed, she straightened up, and said calmly: "King Anqing speaks quickly and has a straightforward temperament, which is admirable. It is Yun Qing who is pedantic."

As she said that, she turned around and reported to Situ Xianyu the specific arrangements for the palace. Situ Xianyu bowed her head slightly and kept smiling gently.

In the end, the Empress Dowager suddenly looked startled, and said to Yun Qing: "You have just entered the palace, and the trivial matters in the palace are not very clear. Now that the emperor is also in charge, there are only you and Concubine Hua in the harem. The first batch of beautiful women sent up will be selected. Starting tomorrow, Aijia will ask Fang Fei to come to your place every morning at Chenshi to teach you how to handle the affairs of the harem. When you are fully familiar with it, Aijia can also go out of the palace to worship Buddha It's fixed."

"The Empress Dowager is still early this year, and Yun Qing is not used to the affairs of the palace. It is better to let the empress mother hand over the affairs of the harem to Concubine Hua." First, Yun Qing didn't know what the Empress Dowager meant when she mentioned the draft to herself. , but she really doesn't like to manage this complicated harem affairs.

Anyway, Concubine Hua has managed the harem properly in the past two days, so she can just relax.

"Wan'er's Ai family has already confessed that they will help you. After all, you are the queen. You have to shoulder some burdens." Situ Xianyu looked at Yun Qing with clear eyebrows. From her eyes, she could clearly see I see, there is no power scheming there.

Ordinarily, it was a pity that such a child called her into the palace, but he had to admit that what was needed in the harem was such an ordinary woman to preside over the overall situation.

The so-called light but not timid, brave but not utilitarian, smart but kind, beautiful but not coquettish.After such a woman is a country, she not only has both ability and political integrity, but more importantly, she can mother the world.

Only by being tolerant of others can the world be tolerated, and by looking at the world with wisdom, only then can we manage this huge harem with a pure heart.

"Yes, Yun Qing understands." After a long silence, Yun Qing could feel the empress dowager's sincerity, and also knew that since she returned to the Golden Phoenix Palace now, she should bear the burden, and she couldn't just ignore it.

Empress, Empress, Assistant Empress!
Queen is it? !Forget it, she just needs to stand at the top of the harem and take care of the chores of the harem for that superior man.

As for the rest, it's none of her business.

If there is any grudge between him and Concubine Hua, no one can blame her.Unless, he gave her a promise of freedom, she would leave gracefully and let him have a queen he wanted!

"Miss, you just recovered from your illness, so don't catch the cold again." After leaving the Queen Mother's Xiangning Palace, Bi Tao hurriedly put on the white fur for Yunqing, Ling Ge held the lamp in front, and the three of them walked slowly towards the Golden Phoenix Palace .

"Sister-in-law, wait!" Not far from the palace gate, Xuanyuan Yi chased after him, Yun Qing paused, turned around and watched him walking towards her against the wind.

"What's the matter, my lord?" Looking at such a cold young man, it was difficult for Yun Qing to associate him with him who suddenly became frivolous that night, nor could he imagine what kind of barrier existed between him and the queen mother.

"It's nothing, it's just that we're on the same road, and we just happened to walk together." Xuanyuan Yi walked up to Yun Qing, glanced at the fox fur on her body with handsome eyes, frowned slightly, and said as he walked: "Actually, you were cuter that night." , an appearance that is too cold will always make people unable to get close."

Yun Qing was startled, a little unable to keep up with his footsteps, and he had no intention of stopping, but his steps slowed down quite a bit.

"Heh." With a slight smile, Yun Qing laughed out loud at his so-called fellow traveler, and shook her head helplessly, she was amused by his evaluation of herself.

In fact, he himself is cooler than anyone else.Not only to strangers, but also to his biological mother, he is so indifferent to people.

And his so-called same road is a shortcut to go to his back garden along the side door of Jinfeng Palace, right?Heh, when it comes to the main gate of the palace, it is the opposite, and the further you go, the farther you go.

"Which aspect is the prince referring to?" Looking up at the person in front of him amusedly, Yun Qing didn't know what was going on in this young man who first hurt himself and then turned around to save him.
She still remembered that she wanted to care about his condition that night, but he rejected him viciously. Was that indifference to let anyone get close to him, was it his true temperament or did he do it on purpose?

"There is no one else here. I don't like to be called your sister-in-law, and I don't like you to call me your prince." With a cold sentence, Xuanyuan Yi's whole body suddenly felt a chill, and he stared at Yun Qing inexplicably, making her For no reason, my body became cold and I couldn't speak.

In fact, why does she like such complicated etiquette? If she was still the woman who didn't know his identity that night, then she would not have so many scruples at this moment.

It's a pity that he knows that she is the queen, and she also knows that he is the prince. She has a clear identity, and she doesn't want to make any mistakes by herself.

"But the prince is the prince after all, and Yun Qing is indeed the prince's wife." Sighing faintly, Yun Qing smiled lightly when Xuanyuan Yi's eyes became cold: "Actually, all identities are dead, but People are alive. In the eyes of the queen mother, the prince will never be a prince, but a son whom she loves very much."

His footsteps stopped, this time Xuanyuan Yi was stunned.

He didn't seem to have expected that Yun Qing would suddenly mention the Queen Mother, staring blankly at her slowly walking back, his whole body was like a statue in the wind, losing his anger.

"You really aren't cute enough, no wonder Brother Huang doesn't like you!" Suddenly, after hearing the sound, Yun Qing let out a suppressed low sarcasm, which made her frown, and almost didn't realize that he was talking about herself.

"Hmph!" Passing over Yun Qing somewhat depressed, Xuanyuan Yi flicked his sleeve angrily, gave her a hard look, then stopped waiting for her, and strode away quickly.

Smiling slightly, Yun Qing was really stunned by Xuanyuan Yi's words, she really didn't expect him to describe herself as not cute enough.

"It doesn't matter if other people don't like me, but I believe my mother will always like me. If she is still alive, she will definitely not allow you to taunt me like this." Startled, Yun Qing looked at Xuanyuan Yi's slender figure, and his voice slight.

Speaking of which, no one has ever said that I am cute when I grow up so old!
Because she has always been indifferent, and since she was very young, she didn't have the coquettishness and playfulness that a girl should have.Oh, cute, in my eyes, only Yunya and Yunxiu should have the words of praise!
Perhaps, motherless children grow up early, this is an eternal truth.

Xuanyuan Yi's heart tightened, and an indescribable feeling closed his heart tightly. Hearing the sigh from the person behind him, which was deeper than the wind, his handsome appearance was dyed in the backlit night. Top with a slight tenderness.

He understood what she meant, and knew that she was implying that the queen mother was good to him, but there were some things that she could not understand...

The next day, Aunt Fang Fei came to Jinfeng Palace on time, and Yun Qing got up early, and after breakfast, she followed Fang Fei to learn all the palace affairs of the harem.

Yun Qing, who knew that the harem was not easy to manage, listened to Aunt Fang Fei carefully explaining all the things in the harem to herself, and was deeply amazed unexpectedly.

The admiration for the queen mother in her heart also deeply impressed her at this moment.

It turns out that being a queen is not only a dazzling honor, but also the backbone of all departments in the harem.

She learned one by one that there are many affairs in the harem, not to mention the masters who live in each palace, even the various departments need a period of time to understand in detail before they can know how they work.

From Shangyi Palace, which trains concubines and court ladies full-time, to Shanggong Bureau responsible for receiving and distributing items, Shangshi Bureau responsible for the emperor’s meals, Shangjian Bureau receiving eunuchs for cleansing, and hard workers doing handyman in the palace From the library, to the Clothes Bureau where it is almost impossible to leave the palace once one enters, and the House of Internal Affairs, which is in charge of personnel affairs in the palace, these are intertwined, and all of them are places that a queen should manage.

If there are more concubines in the harem in the future, then she will also be in charge of the promotion of personnel in each palace, all of which need to be nominated by the masters of each palace, and then approved by the queen.Individual exceptions nominated by the emperor himself!
When Fang Fei handed over Yunqing's harem "Life Note" registration form, she deliberately emphasized that Yunqing, as a queen, should maintain due justice.It is necessary to persuade the emperor to spread the rain and dew evenly, so as to ensure that the royal family is as lush as possible.

The emperor can't favor anyone exclusively, and the crown prince among the heirs of the royal family must be the empress's son, Yun Qing just wanted to pretend to be confused but still made a big blush.

She knew that her aunt was teaching herself based on detailed principles, and perhaps there was also the Queen Mother's instruction, but she also knew that these were indeed what a queen should do.

"Alas!" Sighing deeply, Yun Qing leaned back on the chair wearily, and he ordered someone to add a thick layer of cushions on it, making the feeling of leaning on it much more comfortable than before.

Usually, I don't think that after sitting for a long time on this carved phoenix seat specially made for the queen, the whole person is really extremely stiff and tired, but I have to force myself to sit upright.

Fortunately, Yun Qing usually does not stick to trifles, and when Aunt Fangfei left, she easily leaned on the back of the chair and closed her eyes for a while to rest.

Speaking of which, this might cause the women in the harem to compete for the honorable position of breaking the head, but she really didn't want to sit.
