Chapter 62
"Okay!" Empress Dowager Xu scolded the Xu sisters impatiently, "When is this? You still have the time to make noise in front of Ai's family! In two days it will be the flower viewing feast, but what else is there?" Inadequate preparations, deficiencies?"

The Xu sisters didn't dare to do it again, so they reported all the preparations for the flower viewing banquet to Queen Mother Xu, and said that everything was ready!
Empress Dowager Xu was still a little worried, and planned to ask Nanny Huang to walk around again tomorrow.

After thinking about the flower feast, my mind turned to the Si sisters.

Empress Dowager Xu also agrees with Xu Xuan's idea!After all, since Dugu Ye's concubine entered the palace, the Si sisters have never had any dirty things!

As a queen, Si Luoyun treats concubines and concubines equally, rewards and expenses in the palace are always fair, if the palace people neglect any noble master, they must be severely punished!The emperor rewarded Mrs. Si with many good things, and Queen Si was not jealous.

Although Mrs. Si is a bit arrogant, she has never seen her disrespecting Queen Si!When the emperor only favored Empress Si, Mrs. Si was targeting the pregnant Zhen Ji!

It can be seen from this that the Si sisters are indeed supporting each other and are ready to dominate the Holy Grace!

"Xuan'er's words make some sense." The Empress Dowager Xu spoke again to praise Xu Xuan, and she caught a glimpse of Xu Ying curling her lips in dissatisfaction.

When Xu Xuan heard Empress Dowager Xu praising herself, she couldn't hide a smile on her face.

"This is also Aijia's mistake back then." She was the one who pointed out all the Si sisters to Duguye! "The two of you should learn from the Si sisters! They are not from the same mother, but they can be of one heart! You are cousins, and you should be closer than their concubines! Empress Si is dull by nature, because She is the empress, and she has saved the emperor twice, so she will be treated favorably by the emperor. But Madam Si is loved by the emperor because of her temperament and beauty! If both of you sisters are accepted as concubines, you should be like them This complements each other and supports each other! A person who is favored cannot gain a firm foothold in the harem, only the prosperity of the family behind him is the foundation of your life in the harem! Do you all remember?"

The Xu sisters said "remember".

Empress Dowager Xu felt a little bored, so she asked the Xu sisters to step down first, and then she thought about how to let the emperor accept the two of them.

After Xu Ying and Xu Xuan left the palace, Madam Huang spoke worriedly: "Queen Mother, this servant thinks that Miss Xu Ying is still not suitable to stay in the palace. Miss Xu Xuan is intelligent, calculating, and sensible. Favor is only a matter of time. Moreover, if Miss Xu Xuan is favored by the emperor, she will definitely seek a better future for the Xu family... What I am afraid of is that if Miss Xu Ying is also accepted as a concubine, not only will she not be with Xu Xuan Girls support each other, but they will be jealous and hold back!"

How could Empress Dowager Xu not know that what Nanny Huang said was true, but she couldn't bear to part with Xu Ying!
Xu Ying is really beautiful!This is also a sharp weapon in the harem!

"Let's talk about it after the flower feast is over." Queen Mother Xu waved her hands wearily.

The emperor came to Fuyi Palace for three consecutive days, but Liao Muer and Chunxiao were in a hurry!
Neither of them knew what happened between the emperor and empress that night, and Si Luoyun refused to say a word, which really worried them to death!
What Si Luoyun did best was that the day after the emperor came to Fuyi Palace, she would definitely give something to Mrs. Si!

In the eyes of outsiders, the queen is virtuous and generous!But in Liao Muer's eyes, it was distressing, distressing!
The red coral tree rewarded by the emperor in October last year was priceless. It was the best coral tribute from the Liang Kingdom in the south!
The empress said: This coral is gorgeous and dazzling, it is just right for Mrs. Si, so give it to her.

Where is the dazzling coral suitable for Mrs. Si?Has something to do with Mrs. Si?
Years ago, the emperor opened a private treasury and took twelve big oriental pearls and gave them to the empress, saying that they were for her to set on the crown.The pearl is round and big, and its luster is also eye-catching!
The empress said: Twelve are too few, give it to Mrs. Si.

Twelve gemstones are enough for the crown, but what do you want to use so that there are too few?

If it wasn't for Liao Muer and Chun Xiao's life-and-death standoffs, Si Luoyun would have given Mrs. Si the pair of Ruyi jades that Dugu Ye had sent someone to polish with high-grade mutton fat jade!In the end, Liao Muer randomly picked two pieces of cloth from the library and sent them to Fuyi Palace.

This is obviously the empress' embarrassment!

When Duguye saw the things he rewarded appeared in Fuyi Palace, he was so angry that he threw them when he returned to Tide Palace, and He Baoquan, who was waiting by his side, also complained again and again!
Finally, the waiters on both sides couldn't take it anymore, and they met in private to discuss countermeasures.

Tomorrow is the flower viewing feast, so He Baoquan turned a corner to look for Liao Muer by coming out to see how the venue was arranged.

"If this continues, the Empress's private treasury will be empty! It will all be moved to Mrs. Si's place!" Liao Muer held the key in her hand and said angrily, "That coral... oh."

"Hey! You just have nothing there, and people are dying here!" He Baoquan complained in a shrill voice, "The emperor is angry every time he goes to Fuyi Palace. The things in the study are almost smashed!"

It is easy for the emperor to smash things when he is angry. What if he thinks smashing things is not fun and wants to kill people?
Liao Mu'er curled her lips and rolled her eyes and snorted: "Hey! Why is the emperor so angry? The gentle beauty has been serving you for three days! What's the matter? Mrs. Si didn't serve our emperor comfortably?"

He Baoquan knew that Liao Mu'er had a special status and a cold temper, so he didn't have the guts to say that!

"Miss Liao, you have to find a way! From our point of view, the emperor still can't let go of the empress, so he is fighting!" He Baoquan begged Liao Mu'er to find a solution.Because this problem lies with the empress!
This queen empress, when she was Princess Chen, she had a good ability to annoy people!Back then, Dugu Ye, who was still King Chen, was very angry!
He Baoquan sometimes wondered if that old fellow Gu Huai had seen something, or that he was blessed. Not long after Empress Si entered the Chen Palace, he retired and left the palace to enjoy peace and happiness!
"Duqi, go sleep with other concubines!" Liao Muer spat.

"Look at what you said! Isn't this harem concubine brought in just to serve the emperor?" He Baoquan said with a smile, "There is nothing wrong with the emperor going to another noble master's fortune."

It was true, but Liao Muer was just not happy!

The Empress can't speak a little bit, but it's not right for you to do this when you are in trouble, Your Majesty!
But Liao Mu'er still feels sorry for those treasures in the Queen's private treasury, so it's impossible to keep rewarding them like this!
"Then we have to make the emperor and empress reconcile." Liao Mu'er said.

"Yes! Yes! This is what our family thinks!" He Baoquan said.

Liao Mu'er rubbed her chin, rolled her eyes, and had a smirk on her face, "Hey, I've thought of an idea."

Looking at Liao Muer's smile, He Baoquan shuddered for no reason, and prayed in his heart: Don't be such a bad idea!

The flower viewing banquet was held as scheduled, and the ministers were severely repaired by the emperor in the court hall a while ago!
Although there are three fires for a new official to take office, what's more, after the new emperor ascends the throne, in order to prove his wisdom and prowess by his political achievements, he often introduces some new policies.

But Dugu Ye didn't do that, he just changed the name of the emperor, and added or deleted the deficiencies in Dayan's laws and official positions.The remonstrances raised by the ministers were also dealt with very gently.These are all measures that have no impact on princes, ministers, and noble families.

It is the "mediocrity" of the new emperor after he ascended the throne that made some people dare to challenge the emperor with their self-importance and forgetting who they are!He yelled and barked his teeth and claws in the hall at every turn!
During the Chinese New Year, the empress was assassinated and injured by her escort in the Wanjing Garden, and the emperor turned on the imperial pen again, and it turned out to be a side effect!In the past, those courtiers who didn't take the new emperor seriously cut their officials and forced them to resign!Dugu Ye's swift and resolute actions caught the ministers by surprise!
After more than a month of political turmoil, the emperor said that he invited his ministers to the palace to enjoy the flowers, which was a signal to ease the tension between the emperor and his ministers!
There are special greenhouses in the palace, and dedicated people cultivate all kinds of flowers and plants. Even if some flowers are not in their blooming season, you can still see their beauty in full bloom!
Good wine, beautiful scenery, beautiful women singing and dancing can really make people let go of too many thoughts for a while.

The person in charge of receiving the female relatives in the harem is Empress Dowager Xu, after all, she is in charge of supervising the flower feast!

Although Si Luoyun was recuperating from her injuries, she always showed her face on such occasions.Besides, the injuries on her body were fine, as long as she wasn't overworked or overstretched, she would be fine.

Mrs. Si and Mrs. Liao were also present today. They are concubines with higher status in Dugu Ye's harem besides the queen.People like Zhen Ji are not even qualified to be there!

Many female relatives secretly looked at Queen Si and Mrs. Si and sisters, as if they wanted to see something from their expressions and expressions!
Mrs. Si's return to favor has already spread!The relationship between the concubine sisters is sometimes worse than that of strangers!I don't know what's going on between Queen Si and Mrs. Si!

Is it for the benefit of the family that the sisters join forces to stabilize the status of the harem?Or is it a secret contest between the concubine sisters?

Empress Dowager Xu is also acquainted with those imperial wives, so they have a very happy chat.

"Since the late emperor left, the Ai family's body and spirit are useless." Empress Dowager Xu said with a smile.

Empress Dowager Xu sat on the main seat, Empress Si sat on the side, and below sat several noble ladies according to their status.

"The queen mother is still young." A lady laughed, "If my wife remembers correctly, you are four years younger than my wife! But let anyone in the room look at it, it's not that my wife is ten years older than you. Looks like a year old!"

This compliment made Empress Dowager Xu smile and feel at ease!
The female relatives below also said "yes, yes" in agreement, or covered their mouths with smiles.In fact, I may be disgusted by that lady's flattery in my heart!
Si Luoyun hasn't had a good rest these days, she always wakes up in the middle of the night and stares at the roof of the tent for a long time, and doesn't fall asleep until dawn!Appetite is also getting worse.

The imperial doctor asked for a pulse and couldn't find out the reason, so he had to change two prescriptions for recuperation, saying that he was afraid that some of the medicines he drank earlier would affect the empress's sleep and appetite.

Because Si Luoyun has been weak since she woke up from her injury, and she is not very willing to eat, so her symptoms did not arouse Liao Muer and Chun Xiao's doubts.

But Si Luoyun knew that it should not be the problem of the prescription, but the cause of her depression!

Just like now, Empress Dowager Xu was chatting and laughing with the noble ladies, but she, the queen, was sitting stiffly on the chair like a mud tire in a temple, and her thoughts were wandering without knowing where she went!

After the Empress Dowager Xu had a few gossips with the minister's wives, she ordered the Xu sisters to be called out.

"Thanks to these two maids helping Ai's family, this flower viewing feast can be held as scheduled." Empress Dowager Xu held a niece in one hand and said with a smile, "The two of you haven't greeted the wives yet. ?”
