From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 276

All the passion, all the sincerity, all the love was spent in this cannibalistic harem, and it was completely cold.Mei Linlang is no longer Mei Linlang, and the emperor is no longer the young man who loved her deeply.

Love is as deep as hatred is, Mei Linlang may not hate the emperor, but as deep as love back then, the disappointment is as deep as today.She will never forgive the emperor, and will never be the girl who resolutely abandoned everything for the emperor.

It's a pity to think about it. Back then, she envied her so much, thinking that she had courage, dared to love and hate, but now she never thought that she would become like this.Sure enough, a man can rely on a sow to climb a tree, and all the vows of forever and ever are all lies.

Fortunately, she controlled her heart back then and didn't let it sink, otherwise she would definitely end up in the same fate as Mei Linlang.

With a deep sigh, Fei Cui also quite agreed, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty's words are very true. Concubine Rong was born in a general with a strong temperament, and she can't tolerate sand in her eyes. Besides, what the Emperor did back then was indeed very hurtful." Human, it is normal for Concubine Rong not to forgive him."

After a pause in her hand, the topic changed, Fei Cui looked at Zongzheng Wanyin through the bronze mirror and said, "It's just that the harem is like a battlefield. Although she has no fighting spirit and no intention of competing for favor, it is hard to guarantee that other concubines will not regard her as a savior." Enemies. Especially Concubine Hui who entered the palace at the same time as her back then, as far as the servants know, she stepped on the previous empress to come up. She also participated in the incident back then, if Concubine Rong regains her favor, she will be the first to strike first."

Concubine Hui is the mother of King Ping, and besides Prince Ping's first son, she has a daughter, the sixth princess.But she is lucky, she is still pregnant with one in her stomach, it has been four months, and she will give birth in April after the new year.

I know Concubine Hui Zongzheng Wanyin very well, it is a white lotus.It looks soft and weak, gentle and quiet, harmless to humans and animals, but in fact, its heart is as vicious as a poisonous snake.If she hadn't been cautious when she first entered the palace, she would have almost fallen into her trap.Fortunately, she had been prepared and gained a firm foothold in the harem by relying on her family's honor and favor. Otherwise, she would not be able to keep her two children, and she herself would have been eaten by others long ago.

Frowning slightly, she couldn't help feeling a little worried, but after thinking about it, the queen put it down again.Picking out a Fengyang peony hairpin and handing it to Fei Cui, she said lightly: "Jianmen Hunv has learned the art of war since she was a child. Concubine Rong is not a fool, so don't you know what she is. She didn't say a word back then, and she didn't speak for herself. To justify, I still feel that the emperor will definitely believe her. Unfortunately, I believed in the wrong person, and I was imprisoned for eight years in a fit of anger."

"Eight years, eight years, everyone in the palace thought that Luomei Palace would never be opened again, but who would have thought that she would come out again suddenly. Fei Cui, do you know why she suddenly changed her mind and came out? "

The people in Qianqing Palace were very strict with their mouths, and they didn't reveal a single word when they asked Eunuch Qian and Xiao Lizi.However, according to her guess and deduction, it was definitely not because of the emperor, nor was it rumored in the palace that she wanted to see the emperor for the last time.

Fei Cui didn't know, she just told the rumors in the palace, the queen smiled slightly and said: "She broke up with the emperor, how could she kill herself because of him, let alone eight years have passed, she would die sooner, and she will wait until now. I guess She is retreating in order to advance and has other plans, for the Mei family, for her brother and niece."

She wasn't sure before, but she didn't know about Mei Xin's unmarried pregnancy until she heard that the Crown Princess forcibly broke into Prince Liang's mansion.

Fei Cui is smart, otherwise she would not have been selected into the palace by Magnolia, let alone become the aunt in charge of the Queen's Palace: "Whether it is a civil servant or a military commander, all women who come out of a big family are born for the family. It’s just that she has already left the clan, and General Mei and the rest of the Mei family have never had any contact with her, so what’s the use of her doing so.”

If she had known today, why would she have done so in the past? If it was her, she would definitely not abandon her family for a man.From this, one can imagine how disappointed and sad her father and brother must have been at that time.

"Whether it's useful or not doesn't depend on watching it for a day or two. You'll find out after a while. It's easy to hide a hidden arrow and it's hard to defend against it. Make people pay more attention to the movements in Concubine Hui's palace. In addition, find a chance to talk to Eunuch Qian, Let him remind the emperor." Putting on the armor and standing up, turning left and right to look in the mirror, the queen said again: "The sea is open to all rivers, tolerance is great, a wall stands thousands of feet high, and there is no desire to be strong. There are so many titles. The emperor does not choose , but to make her Concubine Rong is really..."

Twisting her lips, Zongzheng Wanyin sighed involuntarily, and said with a little helplessness: "Let's go, go to the Palace of Compassion!"

Reaching out for the cloak to put on her, Fei Cui said "yes" and left with her, heading straight to the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

At the same time, the emperor who returned to Qianqing Palace was furious. He first smashed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, and then pushed a pile of notebooks to the ground.Still puzzled, he took a vase and slammed it on the ground.

When there was a bang, the tiles flew wildly, Eunuch Qian and the servants who were serving all fell to their knees on the ground.Not daring to let out the air, they all buried their heads low, trembling and silent like cicadas.

After dropping the vase, the anger became even more intense. After thinking about it, the emperor pointed at the people kneeling outside and shouted: "Come here, pass the decree, make Concubine Rong the imperial concubine, and move to Zhanghua Palace."

In order to make up for Mei Linlang's promotion to her position, she is now a concubine, and according to the ancestral system, she should be a noble concubine.Originally, I didn't plan to move so soon, I wanted to wait until she was in better health, and the empress dowager made it clear before moving the order.But the empress dowager went too far today, and it made him too angry and chilled.Therefore, in a rage, she jumped two levels and was directly named the imperial concubine.

In fact, the position of imperial concubine is not enough to express the guilt in his heart, nor can it make up for what he owed her all these years.After the death of the first queen, she preferred the position of queen to her, but her temper was too stubborn, so that she missed the opportunity, and he married the eldest daughter of the Zongzheng family as his successor.

Zongzheng Wanyin was not chosen by the Empress Dowager, but by himself.It's not because she likes her, but because she thinks her temperament is suitable to be a queen. In addition, the Marquis Zongzheng has passed away, leaving only their orphans and widowed mothers in the family.

He doesn't need the love of his wife, let alone the admiration of a woman. What he needs is a capable, smart and smart queen who sits in the harem.Just like those capable ministers under him, just listen to him and do things for him wholeheartedly, and this is why he has always respected the queen.

She respects each other like a guest and raises her eyebrows. It doesn't matter whether she has feelings or not. The important thing is that she has self-knowledge.Advancing and retreating are knowledgeable, witty and clever.
