The emperor is reborn, the cute queen is upgraded

Chapter 92 Gossip 1
"Concubine... I don't know what crime I have committed?" Concubine Zhen was accused of guilt when she woke up, and she was really flustered! "Please make it clear, Empress Dowager!"

As she spoke, Concubine Zhen knelt down on her knees, with tears streaming down her face, looking aggrieved.

"Why are you so strict with respect to noble Xing and noble Nian in Fanhua Pavilion?" Si Luoyun asked.

Concubine Zhen's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Liao's female official had gone to Fanhua Pavilion yesterday, she was not prepared at all, and she was found to have treated Xing and Nian harshly!

"Concubine... Concubine didn't strictly deduct the status of Noble Xing and Noble Nian, did she? Please empress empress, check it out!" Concubine Zhen gritted her teeth, denouncing her grievances! "Ever since Noble Xing and Noble Nian moved into the Fanhua Pavilion, my concubine has carefully taught them the rules of the palace, and they have been handed out the rules on time every month! So..."

"You don't have to quibble." Si Luoyun didn't want to hear some useless lies from Concubine Zhen, so she said directly to Liao Mu'er, "Miss Liao, please tell your ladies and your masters what you saw and heard yesterday."

Liao Mu'er then truthfully narrated what she saw yesterday when she went to Fanhua Pavilion in the palace of nobleman Xing and nobleman Nian, and what she heard from the palace servants.

Concubine Liao Xian also learned that Xing and Nian were sick, but she didn't know that it was the reason for Concubine Zhen's harsh treatment!She also sent her maids to visit Nobles Xing and Nian, but her maids didn't say anything when they came back!Didn't see it?still……

"Concubine Zhen, what else do you have to say?" Si Luoyun asked.

"Concubine...concubine is wronged! Concubine never intentionally treated Xing and Nian nobles harshly! Even if their words offended concubine and eldest princess, concubine never imposed punishment! The concubine and the eldest princess are arguing against each other, or the two of them did it on purpose!" Concubine Zhen simply retaliated! "Since I have already mentioned the disrespect of Xing and Nian before, I want to seek justice for the princess! The dignified royal princess is being talked about by two concubines in the harem. What is it? The eldest princess is in charge!"

What a cunning and eloquent Concubine Zhen!Si Luoyun sneered in her heart, there are no simple characters in this palace!

What Concubine Zhen said is not completely unreasonable!
Concubine Zhen treated the nobles harshly, why didn't the two nobles go to Concubine Liao Xian and Concubine Si Shu for help?He even has the courage to talk about the lord of the first palace and the eldest princess behind his back, so why is he afraid of Concubine Zhen at this time and dare not complain?

Concubine Liao Xian once sent maids to visit Nobles Xing and Noble Nian, Noble Nian's maid did not say anything, but told the truth to the official Liao who was ordered by the Empress!
"I will punish the nobles Xing and Nian who offend the high-ranking concubines, but this is not the method of deducting their status!" Si Luoyun said sternly, "Listen, all of you here! There are many ways to slap the mouth, punish kneeling, copy scriptures, etc. But the allocation of each concubine in the palace is more or less a rule. Forget it! The only people in this palace who can increase or decrease the number of concubines and concubines are the Empress Dowager, the Emperor and this Palace!

The Japanese palace is not strict with you on weekdays, but it doesn't mean that the palace will let you mess around at will!Concubine Zhen strictly withholds concubines and concubines in the palace, counting from the date when she withholds concubines, she withholds concubine Zhen's royalties one by one to make up for Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Nian!As for Xing and Nian who collided with a concubine who is the lord of the palace, each of them will be fined for three months. After recovering from illness, they will kneel down and serve tea to concubine Zhen and the eldest princess to plead guilty! "

The queen's sudden iron fist surprised all the concubines present who were used to her gentle demeanor!Especially Concubine Si Shu, she has never seen Si Luoyun have such a severe side since she was a child!
When this matter spread to Funing Palace, Empress Dowager Xu, who was asking the maid to beat her legs, just closed her eyes and sneered.

"Heh, if a tiger doesn't show off its power, it is regarded as a sick cat! The queen is going to show off his power? The Ai family wants to see how powerful this rouge tiger is!"

The news of Si Luoyun punishing the concubines in the harem soon reached the ears of Empress Dowager Xu and the emperor.

Empress Dowager Xu is holding a wait-and-see attitude, so she will not stand up for that idiot Concubine Zhen!Could it be that the little concubine took a useless princess to please her for a few days, and then she really thought she had found a backer?Make her big head dream!

After listening to He Baoquan's report, Duguye nodded with a smile and said nothing.

He Baoquan sighed in his heart: Empress Empress can be regarded as something that makes the emperor feel comfortable and satisfied!
It's okay to hide Si Luoyun's pregnancy for a month or two, but as the months increase, it can't be covered up!

After all, as a queen, she had to receive greetings from her concubines on a regular basis, and she also had to go to the Empress Dowager Xu to greet her.As the weather gets warmer and the clothes get thinner, you can see the bulge in your belly.At the beginning of April, Dugu Ye notified the world that Empress Si was pregnant again for about four months!
The heart of the woman in the harem is like a pot of boiling water!Empress Dowager Xu was poured a pot of boiling oil!
To this day, only Concubine Zhen and Empress Si have given birth to the emperor's heirs in the harem!The bellies of the other concubines did not move at all!It is a blessing for the people of Dayan that the emperor and queen love each other deeply and have more sons and daughters!Who dares to have any opinion?
But when the subjects were celebrating, there were voices of disharmony.

I don't know who started the rumor that Empress Si only favors the harem and forbids other concubines to sleep in her bed!After that, Empress Si was jealous and added food to the food of all the concubines in the harem, making them sterile!

Even the news about Concubine Zhen being punished was spread to the palace, and it was adapted into Empress Si who hated the concubine who gave birth to a princess for the emperor, and often made things difficult for her!The eldest princess was named by the emperor only two years after she was born!And the second princess born to the empress and the eldest prince Man Yue got their names, and the second princess was given the title of Princess Changning when she was less than one year old!This kind of differential treatment is not only the difference between the concubine and the concubine, but also the deliberate suppression of Queen Si!

In the beginning, these rumors were only circulated in the market, and later the female relatives of the families of high-ranking officials and nobles also spread them secretly.

Palace secrets have always been loved by people!Rumors spread that Empress Si used medicine to abort a fetus in the womb of a pregnant concubine!

No matter how evil the outside rumors are, the palace doesn't know about it.After all, there are not many palace people who can go out of the palace, even if the servants who are out of the palace to do procurement hear it, they will not dare to spread it when they return to the palace!

The ministers wanted to report this matter to the emperor, but who said it and how to say it was a problem!The queen is pregnant, and if she becomes pregnant after knowing such rumors, no one will be able to bear the responsibility!
The Zhao family in the prime minister's mansion outside the palace naturally also heard these rumors, and they could only send someone secretly to find out where the rumors came from when they were annoyed!Later, she went to the palace to visit Empress Si a few times, seeing that her daughter didn't seem to know, Zhao was relieved!

Mrs. Zhao tried every means to find those who spread the rumors to stop and punish them, but Aunt Ning began to cry and feel wronged for Concubine Si Shu!

"My concubine said how could it be possible for Concubine Shu not to give birth to an heir for the emperor for so long! She dared to be victimized in the palace!" Aunt Ning knelt in front of Prime Minister Si and cried mournfully, "Master, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. The queen empress is your daughter, and so is the concubine Shu! We are born from the same root, so why rush each other!"

Si Chengxiang sat on the chair with a straight face, and his heart was heavy!
The court ministers are divided into three factions: one faction believes in rumors, and is plotting to participate in the empress' jealousy and murder the heirs of concubines and concubines!One side is to thoroughly investigate the sources of the rumors, severely punish the rumormongers, and restore the empress' innocence!There is also a faction of the mean, people who don't express their opinions!
Prime Minister Si, as the queen's father, is also very anxious these days!
Aunt Ning's grievances for Concubine Shu made Prime Minister Si's heart tilt a little bit!

Could it be that Empress Si is really so domineering in the palace?He couldn't help but think of that piece of ink jasper that was ground into powder!Si Luoyun seems to be honest and honest without fighting or snatching, but it is really surprising how often she does things!

When Siluofu wanted Mobiyu back then, Siluoyun readily agreed, and then asked a craftsman to grind that high-quality and expensive piece of Mobiyu into powder, and put it in two exquisite boxes, half for each sister!And said it was only fair!

Seeing Prime Minister Si's pensive look, Aunt Ning cried again and again: "Master, my concubine is willing to go out of the Prime Minister's mansion to find a monastery to become a monk, and to chant scriptures every day to pray for the Lord, Madam, Empress and Concubine Shu." I just ask you to invite your wife to enter the palace to persuade the empress, and be merciful to Concubine Shu! Even if concubine Shu is allowed to give birth to a princess for the emperor, her life will not be considered in vain! Master Xiang!"

Prime Minister Si looked at Aunt Ning who had become more and more impatient in asking for anything and everything from him in recent years.

In the past, Aunt Ning was gentle and caring, and she felt pity when she shed tears occasionally.Fearing that she would have no one to rely on for the rest of her life after giving birth to a son and a daughter, she secretly bought land and shops for her and Ming Yuan behind Mrs. Zhao's back.After the eldest son was killed in battle, he valued his second son even more. Regardless of Zhao's resentment and contempt, he borrowed the merits of the eldest son to ask the first emperor for fame for the second son... and the money and treasures that were continuously sent to Concubine Si Shu .

Prime Minister Si himself thought that his heart had gone too far!No wonder Mrs. Zhao was cold-eyed when she saw him!
But money and things are all dead things controlled by people, and there are still a few who give more and less.Is this human heart controlled by others at will?What do you say?

Prime Minister Si gradually got tired of Aunt Ning's insatiable greed!I even hate her begging herself to stand up for her third daughter time and time again with her ugly crying appearance!This is instructing him to do things in disguise!Even Mrs. Zhao had never ordered him to do this and that so confidently!
"Master!" Aunt Ning knelt and cried for a long time, but Prime Minister Si just kept silent, which made her a little anxious, "You are talking! Now that Ming Yuan takes office in such a remote place, it is also thanks to him." Gift from the empress! It can be seen that the empress does not have brotherhood and sisterhood in her heart! If you don't think of a way, the empress may one day be moved to your position as the prime minister!"

Because of Aunt Ning's provocative words, Prime Minister Si's eyes flashed with disgust!
That's right, if I continue to be obsessed with my obsession, this prime minister will not be here for long!

Prime Minister Si stood up, and coldly reprimanded Aunt Ning: "You don't need to worry about the affairs of Concubine Shu in the palace! You are not allowed to mention the affairs of the palace in the mansion from now on! You are just a concubine in the prime minister's mansion. , live a peaceful life and serve me and my wife wholeheartedly, "

Aunt Ning was taken aback for a moment, she still couldn't accept Si Cheng's scolding from her!For so many years, even though she was Prime Minister Si's concubine by name, she has been ignoring this status as much as possible, using Prime Minister Si's love and favor time and time again to prove that he cares more about herself and their children!
In Aunt Ning's heart, Mrs. Zhao is just a woman who occupies the position of main wife and is not loved by her husband!No matter how many concubines and concubines Prime Minister Si has, he still treats her best in the end!
Gradually, Aunt Ning forgot how she was in the first place to be favored by this man because she deliberately catered to Prime Minister Si's preferences.Years of smooth sailing made her forget "Ben"!
"Xiang... Xiangye, your words... hurt my heart too much!" Aunt Ning began to cry, beating her chest, "I only think about Xiangye and the Si family, but Xiangye tramples on my concubine like this!" Heart... Concubine Shu, I have pity on you for being wronged in the palace, but I, the one who gave birth to you, can't..."
