Powerful

Chapter 105
The official historian said: The sky is called the emperor's sky, and the earth is called the Houtu. Therefore, the wife of the emperor will be called the Kun Palace in the future, because the queen lives in the Kunning Palace.In the ninth year of Emperor Chongde, the owner of Kunning Palace was Emperor Chongde's successor Xie Zi.

At this moment, Concubine Shu, Concubine De, Lin Jieyu, An Jieyu and other concubines were talking with Empress Xie Zi respectfully and respectfully. Each of them responded vigorously. It is negligent here, even if Queen Xie Zi is so young.

Xie Zi came from a side branch of the Xie family in Chenliu, and it has been more than two years since she was canonized as a posthumous queen, and now it is nothing more than that.This age happened to be the same age as the Seventh Prince born by Concubine Shu, which caused mixed feelings in Concubine Shu's heart.

Even if Xie Zi is so young, Concubine Shu has to bend down to salute her, and every big festival, she has to kneel down to her in full dress, because Xie Zi is the master of Kunning Palace, the only one who can stand side by side with Emperor Chongde woman.

Concubine Shu looked at Xie Zi's face that was as delicate and beautiful as a flower, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and forcibly suppressed the unwillingness and jealousy swarming in her heart.She knew that even without Xie Zi, the empress position would not be hers, but Xie Zi is so young, with such a good family background, and more and more favored by Emperor Chongde, how could she not be jealous of such an Empress Xie?
In this world, there are such people who can easily and casually get what others can't dream of in their lifetime.Even if Empress Xie had no heir, even if she didn't have any hardships, she still firmly suppressed Concubine Shu.Seeing her so relaxed and casual, Concubine Shu often laments the injustice in the world.

Concubine Shu has been with Emperor Chongde since he was the prince, spent decades with him, and gave birth to two princes for him before becoming one of the four concubines.Although she is one of the four concubines, after several decades, she has aged, so how can she compare to Xie Zi?

For men, if the color fades, the love will relax. How can the old man be better than the new man?Emperor Chongde was a man, so naturally.

For Concubine Shu, the only thing she can surpass Xie Zi is that she has two princes, and these two princes grew up safely, and they are valued by Emperor Chongde.

As for Xie Zi, it has been more than two years since she entered the palace, but there is no news at all, this is the most gratifying point for Concubine Shu.If Xie Zi gave birth to an imperial heir, wouldn't she take all the benefits in the world?Fortunately, fortunately.

Xie Zi is well-known, but she has power. One day, she will firmly suppress Xie Zi.Throughout the dynasties, the queen is just a decoration, and there are many.
Empress Xie was sitting upright, seeing the concubines bowing their heads respectfully, she was very satisfied in her heart, and there was a hint of joy in her brows and eyes.Whether the respect of these concubines is real or fake, she doesn't care.

She knew from an early age that as long as she reached the top position, nothing else mattered.Thinking of this, Xie Zi narrowed her eyes, and said: "The reason why the Palace called everyone here today is because the Lingnan Mansion sent fresh fruits. At this time, Jingzhao hardly sees fresh fruits and vegetables. Let everyone come and taste it.”

As soon as her voice fell, the concubines felt as if something was crawling on their arms, and couldn't help shaking.It's not because Xie Zi's voice is disgusting, but Xie Zi's voice is so nice, as charming as if it can eat the heart, making people feel numb.

Xie Zi's voice is unique, and her appearance is also unique. She is obviously soft as if she has no bones, but Xie Zi's posture when she sits upright seems to be soft. This kind of contradictory feeling is precisely the most attractive part of her body. people to explore.

"My concubine, thank you, empress..." All the concubines in Kunning Palace replied in unison.Xie Zi invited all the concubines to Kunning Palace, this is not the first time, the concubines are very clear about what to say and what posture to pose.

After thanking and saluting again, Empress Xie continued: "This time I have summoned everyone here, there is another matter. Presumably, the emperor wants to choose a concubine for the third prince, and everyone is clear about it. The emperor has already explained this matter yesterday. With me, if you feel that there is a suitable girl, you can tell me about it. Especially Concubine Shu, if you have someone you like, you can also report it to me."

She was full of smiles, but the concubines underneath felt very embarrassed.Except for the third prince's birth mother, concubine Shu, how could they have any qualifications to make suggestions?The people in the palace were all human beings, and they soon realized that this was Empress Xie's promotion of ordinary concubines to suppress Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu is one of the four concubines. Before Empress Xie entered the palace, she was in command of the harem, and she had two adult princes in her hands, both of whom had much more power than Empress Xie.If the concubine and concubine hadn't fought secretly, it would be absolutely impossible.

"The emperor also mentioned to his concubines about the selection of his concubine by the third highness. The third highness is old, but the marriage has not yet been settled. This matter, I will trouble the empress." Concubine Shu, who was named by Empress Xie, replied in this way, her tone Respectful and dignified, her aura is more like a queen than Xie Zi.

"What's there to thank you for? Isn't His Highness the third prince also the son of the palace?" Empress Xie said calmly, with no emotion in her voice.Isn't it?Even if the third prince is older than her, he still wants to bend down and salute her and call her "Queen Mother".

Based on this alone, Empress Xie firmly suppressed Concubine Shu.

The rest of the concubines were silent, wishing they could stay far away from Kunning Palace.Everyone could see that sparks were flying between Empress Xie and Concubine Shu, and they were unwilling to get involved with these two people.In the Kunning Palace, the tall and elderly concubine De lowered her eyebrows and silently counted the beads, while the young beauties and talented people couldn't help shrinking back.
When all the concubines avoided Empress Xie and Concubine Shu, a voice timidly asked, "Madam, when will the marriage of the Third Highness be finalized?"
The person who asked the question was Dou Meiren, the fifth prince's biological mother.She was anxious about the third prince's marriage, because of the fifth prince's marriage.She thought that the third prince's marriage had better be settled as soon as possible.In this way, the fifth prince's marriage will not be far away.

"The emperor means that as soon as possible, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Dianzhong Province also sent some lists, and they will be sent to the Zichen Palace in a few days." Empress Xie glanced at Dou Shi, but she believed the explanation.

For a cowardly and stupid person like Dou Shi, even if he knows something, it is useless.
As soon as Concubine Shu heard Empress Xie's words, she immediately asked: "I want to tell you, Madam, can I have a look at this list?"

It turns out that Dianzhong Province and the Ministry of Rites have sent lists. Who are the people on this list? Will some poor people be stuffed in?Concubine Shu thought about this, but her expression became calmer.She just has this ability, the more nervous she is, the calmer her face will be.

"Yinzhu, show that list to Concubine Shu." Empress Xie didn't have any troubles, and ordered the palace lady Yinzhu to hand over the list to Concubine Shu, she didn't bother to hold Concubine Shu on this matter.

Concubine Shu took the list and looked at it, and saw that the families listed above were all girls from official families of the third rank and above, and these girls were all well-known in Jingzhao.It can be seen that this list is very pertinent, and Dianzhong Province and the Ministry of Rites also put great effort into drafting this list.

But Xie Zi would be so kind and try her best to find a good marriage for the emperor? ——Concubine Shu thought of this, puzzlement and worry flashed in her eyes.

However, until she withdrew from Kunning Palace, Empress Xie didn't say anything about this list, instead her attitude was bright and bright, which made Concubine Shu even more suspicious.

"Master, this list... Do you really want His Highness the Third Highness to seek such a good marriage?" At night, Yin Zhu couldn't help asking this while she was writing the makeup remover for Empress Xie.

She used to be Empress Xie's personal maid, and later entered the palace with Empress Xie, the relationship between master and servant is extraordinary, that's why Yinzhu dared to ask these words.

"The Ministry of Rites sent this list, so what if I let her see it, and in the end I will not decide from this list. The key is the emperor's will." Empress Xie's voice was still numb to the bone, with a half-smile expression on her face, But with some coldness.

"The emperor loves His Highness the Third Highness very much. This marriage will definitely not be bad. If His Highness seeks a powerful wive family, the power of the Yonghe Palace will be even stronger." Yin Zhu wiped Empress Xie meticulously. With a straight face, he said so.

In Yinzhu's heart, this Concubine Shu has long been an enemy.Concubine Shu's influence in the palace is too strong, especially with the help of the third prince. Although she will bow to the master and empress in terms of status, in actual power, she can overwhelm the master and empress.

Thinking of this, Yin Zhu's expression became worried.
"It is true that the emperor's affection for the Yonghe Palace is still behind him, so this marriage is not easy to handle. Did you find anything on Zhuque East Road? Is there something about the Third Prince's Mansion? It is best to settle the matter before the marriage I dirty there before going down, so there is still room for marriage." Xie Zi's beautiful brows frowned, thinking of these problems was indeed troublesome.

"No, the people sent by the family have been investigating the Third Prince's Mansion, and what they found were trivial things. It can be seen that the Third Prince's Mansion is usually managed very strictly, and those servants don't talk nonsense." Yinzhu lowered her head and said, her voice Some depressed.

"It's really hard to deal with Suzaku East Road, let them not worry, I can delay this matter, let them continue to investigate!" Xie Zi gave such an order, her eyebrows relaxed.

This is the case in this harem, every step is like walking on thin ice, and every step must be very careful, and every step must be carefully planned, otherwise, what is waiting for them is not just broken bodies.

"Master, the Yonghe Palace can be counted for a while, but it can't be suppressed for a lifetime. The emperor will always abdicate, and it is better for the master to choose as soon as possible. Those young princes, who are the masters yet?" Yin Zhu thought for a while. , raising the question again.

She looked at Empress Xie with pain in her eyes, if it wasn't for the family's tampering, if it wasn't for the master not being able to conceive, how could the situation be so difficult? !

"I'm not optimistic about it yet. Those young princes seem to be lacking. I have to take another look." Empress Xie ignored Yinzhu's eyes. It has been so long, Empress Xie has no feeling at all.

What she wants is to survive in this palace and live well.

Empress Xie and Yinzhu, the master and servant, did not expect that when they were worried about the marriage of the third prince, someone gave them a big gift, a big gift that would allow them to live a good life in the palace!
