Harem strategy

Chapter 151
"Huh? Someone is at the Huzhong Pavilion today? I don't know which palace people have such a leisurely mood." Tian Guiren, who came out with Wang Mingya, pointed to the Huzhong Pavilion not far away.

Tian Guiren also lived in Chuxiu Palace. Originally, there was no one else in Chuxiu Palace, except Wang Mingya. However, last year, several noblemen lived in, and Tian Guiren was one of them. She was in the same class as Wang Mingya. Xiunu, it's just that after this nobleman entered the palace, the emperor has met him several times, but he has never been favored.When he entered the palace a few years ago, he was canonized as a nobleman, and he is still a nobleman now.

It's also because she didn't catch up well, there is a favorite concubine named Wu in the palace, the emperor doesn't pay much attention to these new concubines.

Tian Guiren didn't want to be bullied in the palace, so he chose Wang Mingya who was protected by the Queen Mother. These days in Chuxiu Palace, life is not bad, except that the emperor doesn't come here often.

Ordinarily, Wang Shuyuan had a fifth prince, and the emperor should have seen the fifth prince even if he didn't look at Wang Shuyuan, but after returning from winter hunting, the emperor also met the fifth prince at the Empress Dowager's Palace of Compassion, and never went to Chuxiu Palace. up.

Tian Guiren would not see the emperor anymore.

And this time the emperor arranged for people to have a barbecue in the pavilion in the lake, and he didn't make a big deal of it. He didn't think it was necessary.

When someone is about to reach the pavilion in the lake and sees the guards, he will naturally know who is inside.

Sure enough, when Tian Guiren and the others got closer, they found that there were guards guarding them, and no one was allowed to approach the pavilion 100 meters away from the lake. It was impossible to know who was inside.

Tian Guiren felt excited for a while, that was the emperor, in this weather, the emperor is in the pavilion in the lake, he is alone, if he can see the emperor, what about the atmosphere?

Tian Guiren thought beautifully, but because she still had Wang Shuyuan by her side, she didn't dare to leave Wang Shuyuan, and went inside to find the emperor by herself, not to mention that the guards would not let her in.

She just wanted to do something, but she didn't have a chance.

Tian Guiren said to Wang Shuyuan: "Sister Shuyuan, I don't know which sister the emperor is following in the Huzhong Pavilion. In this weather, it is very interesting to be in the Huzhong Pavilion."

Wang Shuyuan said: "Since the emperor is here, I will avoid it first." Wang Shuyuan is not a fool, Tian Guiren wanted to persuade herself to go to the emperor and then open the way for her, it was a waste of scheming.

Tian Guiren choked, although she was unwilling, but Wang Shuyuan said so, if she didn't know what to say, she could only make a mistake.

However, when Tian Guiren was about to leave, he reluctantly took a look at the pavilion in the lake. If only the emperor was inside and he could go in, then what?Such a good opportunity, Tian Guiren would not be reconciled after thinking about it. It is rare to see the emperor throughout the year. This time, if the emperor is lonely in his heart and sad here, he may be able to comfort the lonely heart of the emperor when he passes by. Heart, when the time comes, the emperor will put it in his heart.

Wang Shuyuan took Tian Guiren back from the imperial garden. When Tian Guiren was on the way, he said to Wang Shuyuan: "Sister Shuyuan, the concubine thinks that I have something to do, so I won't go back with Sister Shuyuan first."

Wang Shuyuan didn't care about her either, and Tian Guiren left quickly.

Baochan, Wang Shuyuan's eldest princess, said contemptuously, "Tian Guiren must have returned to the Imperial Garden again, why didn't your empress stop it just now?"

Wang Shuyuan said: "It's good to let her learn a lesson. The more she talks about this kind of person, the more she feels that you are hindering her future, and then she complains about you in her heart. Besides, there is no need for me to be her elder, and I teach you all the time." Her." Although they all live in Chuxiu Palace, Wang Shuyuan is not a concubine, and she has no responsibility to teach her, even if something happens to this noble lady, Wang Shuyuan will not be implicated because of her.

What's more, everyone does things on their own shoulders, and no one will be responsible for others for a lifetime.

Sure enough, as Wang Shuyuan expected, before waiting for an hour, someone reported to Wang Shuyuan, saying that Mrs. Tian Gui of Chuxiu Palace had gotten a suit of maid's clothes from somewhere, and then entered the palace with the maids serving in the palace. The pavilion in the lake was discovered, and it was immediately taken down.

They are now sent to the Punishment Division.It's a shame that a concubine was sent to the Punishment Department. That place is where the palace people made mistakes, so she was sent to the Punishment Department.
Baochan said: "Tian Guiren entered the lake pavilion so easily? Aren't the guards next to the emperor going to be punished?"

If it was an assassin, it wouldn't be too easy to assassinate the emperor if he sneaked in like this.

Wang Shuyuan said: "In a place like the Huzhong Pavilion, the guards can do something as long as they give more money. What's more, Tian Guiren is a concubine in the palace, and she has even entertained people in the Huzhong Pavilion? Everyone Knowing her, she wants to go in, and she just goes there to fight for favor. If you are someone you don’t know, you really want to go into the Huzhong Pavilion, how can it be so easy?” This must be because someone is greedy for money, so it’s done. so.I guess it's just a trivial matter, if nobleman Yitian is favored by the emperor, wouldn't it be a great contribution?
That person helped Tian Guiren, Tian Guiren was favored, maybe he called her to serve him.

Guarding in an empty house, and following a concubine as a maid, naturally the latter is more enviable.

Benefits can sometimes make people crazy, not to mention such a simple thing as giving up one's own clothes?

Wang Shuyuan said: "Since this incident happened, what's the matter with this palace, I should go and plead guilty to the emperor. After all, Tian Guiren came from Chuxiu Palace."

Although she is not the lord of the first palace, Wang Shuyuan has the highest grade in the Chuxiu Palace. Now that she knows about it, she can't pretend that she doesn't know about it. At least she should get Tian Guiren out.

It's just that Wang Shuyuan thought that Tian Guiren might not be able to be a noble person.

On the side of the emperor, he also felt that being interrupted by a noble person to get along with the children was very uncomfortable, so he directly sent nobleman Tian to the Department of Punishment. Since you want to be a court lady so much, then I will give you a court lady treatment.According to the palace rules, Tian Guiren's behavior was to be punished, and he still had to be punished in front of everyone.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't say that Tian Guiren had misbehaved and was suspected of being assassinated, otherwise Tian Guiren's life would have been lost.

The eldest princess has never had a good impression of these women, but this woman sneaked in boldly, thinking of fighting for favor, so seeing her father give the order, and then that noble Tian was dragged down, she felt very happy, okay? it is good?

And Li Jialuo would not pretend to be a good person and say something to let the emperor spare this nobleman once. This woman is so courageous that she even sneaked in wearing a palace maid's clothes. Fortunately, she didn't bring a dagger or anything, but even if she brought a dagger , and it won't hurt anyone, because there are still people arranged by the emperor secretly.

It's just that this woman really worked hard to compete for favor, but why did Meiyu come here after she found out clearly?

The maid who changed clothes with her, don't you know that the emperor is not the only one here?
Why did he come in so recklessly, called the emperor so delicately, and then he was stunned when he saw so many people inside.

Even before the situation was clarified, she dared to come in and fight for favor, not to mention whether she was brave or stupid.

You want to say that she is stupid, but she knows that she wants to sneak in this way, but you say that she is smart, she doesn't know anything, so she just got in.

This incident did not affect the few of them eating barbecue at the lake pavilion, but stayed for another hour before leaving from the lake pavilion.

Back in Changchun Palace, Xiao Liuzi had already found out the matter clearly, because the maid who changed the clothes for Tian Guiren committed suicide.

However, before committing suicide, he left his last words, saying that it was revenge at last, and that he would die in peace.

It turned out that noble lady Tian was very arrogant for a while when she moved to Chuxiu Palace. Of course, it was mainly people from the opposite palace. One of them was because she was accidentally bumped by a palace maid in the Royal Garden, and she refused to obey. Don't forgive me, let someone slap the palace lady. The palace lady had just recovered from her illness. When she accidentally bumped into a nobleman while walking, she was slapped more than a dozen times. She was startled and frightened all at once. The illness broke out again, and he was sent outside to recuperate. After this recuperation, he did not recover, and died directly. Although this is a trivial matter, it is very normal for a maid to die in the palace.

But this court lady has a cousin in the palace. Seeing that the cousin who has been taking care of her died because of accidentally bumping into someone, how could she be willing in her heart?
So I tried to warm up with Tian Guiren. In the summer, Tian Guiren and the concubines in the palace held a lotus flower banquet at the lake pavilion. Thinking about the identity and background of this court lady, I thought it was because she wanted to curry favor with herself, that's why she did that.

For this reason, I also rewarded this court lady with a piece of silver. This time nobleman Tian was able to sneak in because this court lady was familiar with nobleman Tian, ​​and nobleman Tian seduced him for profit. , and also changed the clothes to Tian Guiren, so naturally he would not tell anyone else in the lake pavilion, so he told Tian Guiren that there was only the emperor in the lake pavilion, and the emperor was still in a bad mood, if Tian Guiren could go in , to comfort the emperor, the emperor must think that Tian Guiren is a good person.

Tian Guiren was attracted by this beautiful prospect, changed into the maid's clothes, and then went in with the tray in his hand, who would have known that when he went in, he called the emperor delicately, and was dragged mercilessly by the emperor out.

Do you want to say that Tian Guiren regrets it in his heart?That must be regrettable, especially when he was beaten in public, and then he was demoted to be a talented person, and he scolded that maid in his heart for countless times. The skin of the maid of honor.

She is a talented person and a master. She is much taller than that court lady, but she dared to plot against her. She was really impatient and let herself be so ugly.

Who knew that when she returned to Chuxiu Palace and asked people to inquire about the maid, she would know that the maid had committed suicide, and that the maid had plotted against her like this out of revenge.

Tian Guiren, now Tian Cairen is terrified and feels that her chance has come, she is being tricked this time, if she makes it clear to the emperor, she will be fine?
But the people around him persuaded, "If the emperor knows about this maid, wouldn't he say that Cairen is too vicious? At that time, he will not be beautiful. Cairen, you should take good care of your wounds, servants listen Said, this time Cairen was able to come back so quickly, it was because of Mistress Shuyuan’s begging, why didn’t Cairen thank Mistress Shuyuan?”

After hearing this, Tian Cairen said, "Can I thank you in person? I have to wait. Otherwise, you can help me thank you first?"

Tian Cairen was still dissatisfied with Wang Shuyuan. Why didn't she persuade herself at the beginning, otherwise she would not have suffered such a big loss.

Even if he moved to Chuxiu Palace by himself, he could not be replaced by a servant with Wang Shuyuan's help.

Tian Cairen now blamed Wang Shuyuan in his heart, thinking that it was all Wang Shuyuan's fault, otherwise he would definitely not be so unlucky.

On Wang Shuyuan's side, she didn't care whether the talent blamed herself or not. When she went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the Queen Mother asked, "I heard that something happened to a concubine in your Chuxiu Palace. Has he been dragged to the Department of Punishment to beat him?"

After the queen mother heard the news, she felt that the emperor didn't give her niece face. After all, the niece came out of the palace, and she couldn't bear the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. How could she send it to the Punishment Department?

In the future, when others mentioned Chuxiu Palace, they would say, oh, a concubine in that palace was sent to the Department of Punishment.He was beaten like a palace maid.

This is really ugly to hear.The queen mother felt angry when she heard this.

"Either move that concubine out of Chuxiu Palace, or how can you have any face in this palace?" The Queen Mother said, the emperor couldn't have just slapped his niece in the face.

After hearing this, Wang Mingya persuaded her and said: "The matter has already happened, if I send people out of Chuxiu Palace again, wouldn't it be said that I have no room for others, and the things that have already calmed down will be brought up again. Besides, I'm just a Shuyuan, not yet the lord of the first palace, so it's my turn to be criticized by others, so don't worry, aunt, it's fine as it is now."

The Queen Mother thought of her niece, who is still a Shuyuan until now, and has not even won the position of concubine, and the Wu family is already an imperial concubine.

This is a disgrace to the girls of the Wang family.

Although her niece didn't have any children, she also raised a fifth prince. She just didn't care about anything else, but for the sake of the fifth prince, she should be promoted to this position.

"Mingya, wait a little longer, Aijia won't let you be so wronged."

A few days later, the queen mother called both the emperor and the empress over, and said to them: "Since the emperor has not drafted to enter the palace, these concubines, in this palace, can be counted as a non-stop day, Aijia thought, Why don't you all take advantage of the Chinese New Year to upgrade to a higher level. It's also a happy event in the palace."

Empress Zhao thought to herself that she and the imperial concubine belonged to the identities that could not be promoted, and the concubine De among the four concubines also belonged to the status that could not be promoted. Even Concubine Ning and Concubine Yi could not be promoted without credit.

It seems that the Empress Dowager wants to raise her niece to the position of concubine.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the Queen Mother said: "The Ai family is also thinking about those who have children. The eldest prince is the emperor's first prince after all, but her biological mother is still just Ronghua. Outsiders because of him This biological mother will inevitably look down on others, which is not good for the eldest prince. Even the concubines who raised several princesses are concubines. Although Li Ronghua was born as a palace maid, she was born anyway. Eldest prince, you have been with the emperor for so many years, and you have worked hard without merit, what do you think, your majesty?"

Now that Li Ronghua has been used as an example, the emperor said: "Li Ronghua can be promoted, but she is not enough to be promoted to concubine."

"Your Majesty, what did you say?" the Queen Mother asked.

"Does the queen mother really want Mu'er to be raised by Li Ronghua? I don't think Li Ronghua is qualified to raise Luo'er, even if he is promoted to the concubine, he is not qualified." The emperor said lightly.

Li Ronghua looked down on these words, if Li Ronghua was present, he would definitely be ashamed and indignant.

"Did the queen mother forget about the winter hunting? My prince can't be raised by such a person who only sees benefits."

It was about the matter that Li Ronghua wanted the eldest prince to show his face in front of the ministers, but forced the eldest prince to ride a horse.

After hearing this, the queen mother couldn't say anything. Li Ronghua really didn't do it kindly enough. Besides, the queen mother didn't complain about Li Ronghua.

Empress Zhao also said: "It's better to let Li Ronghua be promoted to Jieyu, and the rest will be promoted to the first level if they are not at fault."

The Queen Mother said: "How can the imperial concubine and concubine De be promoted to a higher level? It's not that they want to rob the queen's power. This is impossible."

It seems to be very considerate of Queen Zhao.Empress Zhao said with a smile: "Of course the imperial concubine does not need to be promoted, even the concubine De does not need to be promoted. I believe these two younger sisters will have no objection. In fact, if the ranking is really based on seniority, there are also Concubine Yan Yi and Concubine Yan. Concubine Su Ning, the two of them have also followed the emperor for several years. Although it is their blessing to serve the emperor, they are also raising several princesses now. From the perspective of the concubine, there are still three vacancies for the four concubines. How about Let Concubine Yi and Concubine Ning also be promoted, otherwise people outside will laugh at the concubines in our palace, and even the four concubines will not be able to make up, this is really a joke."

"What the queen said is very true, and it should be like this. Then Concubine Ning is a virtuous concubine, and Concubine Yi is a concubine Shu." The imperial concubine does not want to be given to others. Three of the four concubines are raised as princesses, but there is nothing wrong with it. relation.

The Queen Mother said: "Concubine De was promoted to Concubine De only after giving birth to the Second Princess. These two are only the adoptive mothers of the Fourth and Fifth Princesses, and they were also promoted to one of the Fourth Concubines. It is unfair to the concubines in the palace. According to Ai's family, it is not as good as these four concubines, who will give birth to the prince and be canonized later, otherwise how can the prince's motherhood be embarrassing?"

Empress Zhao said: "The fourth concubine is only a person with excellent moral character. If you count according to the birth of the prince, my daughter-in-law, the empress, is ashamed of her ancestors."

The Queen Mother felt uncomfortable seeing that Queen Zhao had been against her all the time today.

The Empress Dowager suddenly burst into tears, and said to the emperor and the queen: "Is it true that Ai's family is already flattering people, and the queen doesn't want to see Ai's family anymore?"

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, Empress Zhao quickly knelt down, "The queen mother, the daughter-in-law definitely doesn't mean that, it's just a matter of fact. If the queen mother is not satisfied with the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law can change it."

The Queen Mother hurriedly said: "You child, what are you doing kneeling on the ground? Ever since you became the daughter-in-law of the Ai family, the Ai family has seen it all these years. It is your credit that the emperor's harem can be so good, you Never jealous, virtuous and generous, it can be said that no one in this palace can live without you. It’s not that the Ai family dislikes you for not being able to have a prince. You even gave birth to a granddaughter for the Ai family. It is because of this that you hurt After getting up and speaking from the bottom of my heart, what the Ai family hopes most is that you can give birth to a grandson for the Ai family. In this way, there will be less trouble in the future, but things are already like this, and it can only be like this. Fortunately, the emperor now has several The prince is no longer sorry to the ancestors!

I only hope that the imperial concubine's birth will also be a prince, so that the Ai family will be happy, but, the emperor, this man loves sex, and the Ai family knows that you like the imperial concubine in your heart and praise her everywhere, but you must not go beyond that. Empress, she is your first wife, who will die with you in the future, and those concubines will only cling to you in the concubine's mausoleum. "

"Queen mother, the emperor is very kind to his concubines, and he has given them all the dignity that should be given to them. The concubines are very content." Empress Zhao thought, fortunately, the emperor knows what kind of person she is, otherwise the empress dowager's instigation, She thought she was dissatisfied with the emperor, and complained about her grievances on the side of the queen mother, and then the mother-in-law, the queen mother, stood up for her daughter-in-law.

The emperor said: "Mother, don't worry, the queen is the queen, and the son is not so confused. He knows what to do and what not to do. Naturally, he will put the queen in the queen's position."

The Queen Mother said: "The Ai family can rest assured. The Ai family doesn't say anything else, so they have the cheek to ask the emperor and queen for a reward. You all know that the Ai family's niece is raising the fifth prince. That child is a Submissive, although the fifth prince was not born to her, but he looks better than his own. The fifth prince is also a poor man. He was born without a mother and concubine. Concubine Lin Zhuang and Ai's niece and daughter are good, so I just Handing over the fifth prince to Ming Ya, the Ai family always thought that since they were going to raise the fifth prince, they should treat the fifth prince well, but she is not the lord of the first palace yet, and she has no credit for it, saying It seems that the Ai family is thick-skinned and wants to give the Wang family a face. At least, when the fifth prince goes out, he can have a adoptive mother of similar status and not feel inferior. The children are growing up day by day. Look at the fifth prince. For the sake of the birth mother, can Ming Ya be the lord of the first palace?"

What the Queen Mother meant was that she wanted Wang Mingya to be a concubine.In fact, she just said something wrong, saying that Concubine Su Ning and Concubine Yan Yi are not the princess's biological mothers, but adoptive mothers. This is all about Wang Mingya indirectly. Ya must not become a concubine.This is the opposite of my original intention.

The queen mother used the strategy of mourning soldiers.She said: "Ai's family is getting older and older, and I don't know when he will leave, but Mingya is still in this palace. Ai's family thinks that if he becomes a concubine, he can become the master of the first palace at least, and also You won't be bullied by the concubines who will enter the palace in the future. It's also related to the face of the Ai family."

The Empress Dowager is putting down her face and begging Wang Mingya for a concubine position. As a Empress Dowager, she has already proposed it. If the Emperor and Empress do not agree, it will be too disrespectful to the Empress Dowager. It can be said that the Empress Dowager has lost a lot a face.

If you don't want to tear yourself apart with the queen mother, the emperor has to be filial to the queen mother, and what the queen mother asks is not too embarrassing, so you can agree.

When the emperor heard the queen mother say that Wang Mingya took care of the fifth prince, he clenched his fists in his sleeves, but his face was still very calm.

"Mother, don't say that, and I didn't say that I won't promote Wang Shuyuan to the concubine. Speaking of it, she is a real cousin, so she is just like this. I also gave the Wang family and my uncle's family a face. Back then, I could let Xianya be the concubine." Concubine Xian, she is only a concubine now, and I am not reluctant to part with it. How about this, if I am promoted to concubine this time, I will become Concubine Shun. When my cousin will give birth to a princess or prince with me, one of the remaining four concubines The imperial concubine will be given to my cousin, what does the queen mother think?"

The Empress Dowager's face froze, but she quickly smiled and said, "You can do whatever the emperor says. Let the emperor and the queen sell a favor to the Ai family. In the future, the Ai family will never stop. Nor will there be."

After discussing this matter, among the four concubines, Concubine Ning became a virtuous concubine, Concubine Yi became a concubine Shu, three of the four concubines were filled at once, and there was one noble concubine left, and I don't know who has the ability to sit on it.

And Wang Shuyuan was promoted from Shuyuan to Concubine Shun all of a sudden, becoming the first palace lord.Everyone else has only been promoted by one level, but she has given birth to two levels, but considering that she is the empress dowager, niece of her natal family, it is not surprising that this is the case.

As for the matter of the queen mother and the emperor's concubine asking for the position of concubine, it was naturally not reported.

Because only the emperor and the queen know that the servants around these two people will not talk too much, and if it gets out, the queen mother will feel that it is shameful, so naturally she will not slap her own mouth and let the people around her say, since If it wasn't the old lady who said it, then it was said by the emperor or the people around the queen.

The emperor and the empress are not fools, so of course they would not bring such things and troubles on their own heads, so such things cannot be spread at all.

It is because of this that the queen mother begged the emperor and queen confidently.Really flexible.

Gong Nai knew her master, the reason for doing this was to show weakness, to show that she had no ability, and even asked her niece to be promoted to a concubine, which made people ignore the Queen Mother's ability.Let the emperor and queen feel at ease with the queen mother.

The queen mother is just an old man who is getting old, and even tears are shed, so her ability is not as good as before.You don't have to be wary of her.

The queen mother said to the palace nurse: "Aijia is begging the emperor and the empress, don't tell Mingya, otherwise Mingya feels that she, the concubine Shun, is out of touch. This child is good in everything, even if he has Sometimes she was a bit lofty, and felt that she had to rely on her own ability in everything, and asking for help was inferior to others, but she didn't think about it, if it wasn't because she was a girl from the Wang family, she would be superior to others as soon as she entered the palace? Since she was destined to be The girl of the Wang family, the niece of the Ai family, so what if she gets the honor of the Ai family?
She will not be able to give birth, and she will definitely not be able to raise her status by giving birth to an emperor's heir in the future. She is not like Xianya, she followed the emperor at the beginning, so naturally she does not have this qualification, and some new concubines will come in later. , Aijia is even older, how can I help her?
I can only be cheeky and ask her for a concubine position, which is at least the head of the first palace. When I mention the matter of the fifth prince in the future, I can also have that kind of confidence. After all, his biological mother and admiration are all concubines. , not the cats and dogs below.So what is Aijia sacrificing some face?As long as things can be done, it is to let the Ai family kneel to the emperor, and the Ai family will not even blink an eye, being able to bend and stretch is the way to success. "

The Queen Mother also felt deeply that during this period of time, if the emperor became suspicious of those things, it would be bad, so she acted in this crying scene to let the emperor know that she is actually a niece who is always begging for her niece. Everyone wants such a person.

"Isn't Taiye Chishang going to play ice? Let Mingya perform well, and let everyone see that she can be regarded as a concubine Shun not only because she is a girl from the Wang family."

The girl of her royal family has many skills.Definitely worthy of the concubine position.

Wang Mingya has learned all kinds of things since she was a child, and she has also practiced playing games like this.

Taiye Lake has borrowed a thick layer of ice. Even horses can walk on it, and people can ride from one end of the lake to the other. Let everyone have fun, and the concubines in the palace also performed in Taiye Lake, all for the excitement.

Otherwise, as usual, it would be very boring to eat and listen to the theater.

So from the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, various preparations have been made on the Taiye Lake. The pavilion in the lake is naturally the top priority. After all, this is the best place to watch the ice play. In this warm room like spring, Watching everyone perform on the ice is also a kind of enjoyment, and
People from Jiaofangsi will also perform songs and dances on the ice.

However, there are only a few houses in the Huzhong Pavilion, so naturally not everyone can sit in it, that is, only people on the top floor of the palace can enter, and the rest of the people must not watch in the cold wind outside. The houses around Taiye Pond also began to be arranged, and even a few sheds were built. People would live in such sheds and put charcoal fires on. These performances are also an honor. Even if everyone is cold, they still want to come in.

At the end of the new year, most of the concubines in the palace were promoted to a higher level, only those who made mistakes were not promoted.

Although everyone has been promoted, it looks the same as before, but it's better than no promotion, now I take advantage of this opportunity to be promoted, otherwise when the new concubine enters the palace, how can people like myself have the chance at that time?
They are not like imperial concubines who can give birth, so they can only take advantage of this opportunity to go further if they can.

Because most of the people have been promoted, the palace is full of joy.It is estimated that during the Chinese New Year, everyone's smiles are much more sincere than before.

Although the imperial concubine didn't get any promotion, it was because she had no chance to go up.However, the emperor asked Liu Yongquan to go there in person, and brought so many rewards that the lobby of the Changchun Palace was almost too full. There were boxes and boxes, in addition to silk and satin, there were also various jewels, emeralds, mutton jade, red There is a box of sapphires and even pearls, which is almost blinding people's eyes.

What is the emperor doing?Why did you send so many things?
In fact, the emperor was still angry with the empress dowager's attitude, he didn't wait to see the imperial concubine every time, and this time he had the intention of provoking the relationship between the imperial concubine and the empress.

Since it is said that the imperial concubine can't be promoted, then it's okay for him to give the imperial concubine things. Those things, he gave the imperial concubine better than others.

What kind of status is it just a vain thing, or these things are affordable.

Naturally, this matter was also spread, and everyone was discussing behind their backs, did the emperor give his private house to the imperial concubine this time? There are so many things, it is simply enviable.

Speaking of which, they have all been promoted, but the rewards are just a little.

However, no one is jealous of the imperial concubine because of this. After all, everyone has been promoted this time, and the imperial concubine is still in place. Taken away, yes, that's what it feels like.

In terms of the merits of the heirs, no one is as high as the imperial concubine. The emperor feels that the imperial concubine has been wronged and gave her something. This should be understandable.

Li Ronghua was originally promoted to Li Jieyu, and she was quite happy, but when she heard that Wang Shuyuan was promoted to Concubine Shun, she felt very bad. Although Wang Mingya was a woman of the Wang family, she didn't even have a child. Why did you sit on the imperial concubine?
Just because she is a woman from the Wang family?This woman from the royal family is really abominable. The one who died, indiscriminately, took away her son if she wanted to. Others have to struggle for several years to get to the fourth concubine, and some people even cannot touch the fourth concubine for a lifetime. On the other hand, she is good, she doesn't have to do anything, she is a concubine Xian, and even robbed someone else's son, she doesn't feel sorry for others at all, I really feel that it is your honor to raise your son.

Then this new woman from the Wang family is still unable to have children, but she is now in the position of concubine Shun, who has worked so hard to give birth to a little Jieyu, why is this so in the world? It's not fair, especially compared to the women of the Wang family.

She is not compared with the imperial concubine. In comparison, this imperial concubine also climbed up step by step from a small nobleman. In addition, she was lucky enough to give birth to two princes in succession. His heir has made meritorious service, but why is Wang Mingya doing this?

Just because of her surname Wang, or because she raised the fifth prince?

The fifth prince was not born to her, so why should she be so nervous.

The more Li Jieyu thought about it, the more she felt that it was unfair. Everyone was promoted to one level, but this Wang Mingya was promoted two levels in a row and directly became the head of the first palace.Why.

But she felt dissatisfied, and Meiyu managed to get Wang Mingya down, just because she knew that Wang Mingya had a queen mother aunt.If the Queen Mother is not dead, Wang Mingya will always have a backer.

Speaking of it, Li Jieyu's resentment towards the Queen Mother is stronger than the two concubines of the Wang family, because if there was not the Queen Mother, the eldest prince would not have been taken away. She had just given birth to the eldest prince at that time , without even a chance to take a look, she was carried directly to Concubine Wang Xian. It was said that in this way, she would not get close to her biological mother. A mother, who was pregnant for ten months, stepped into the gate of hell with one foot, and the child she gave birth, She didn't even have the qualifications to take a look at it, so she was taken away by someone, and she couldn't bear it no matter who it was.

So, don't look at Li Jieyu's hatred for the imperial concubine, but definitely not as much as her hatred for the queen mother.

Therefore, Li Jieyu would pray silently during the daily burning of incense and worshiping Buddha, hoping that the queen mother would die soon, and it would be best if she did not die, that would make people happy.

She has no ability to deal with the queen mother herself, so she can only use this method to make the queen mother punished by gods and Buddhas.

In a blink of an eye, it was the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. Before the [-]th day, all the palace people wandered around the Taiye Pond, just to see what the Taiye Pond was like.

However, it is a jealous place to find out who is sitting in the Huzhong Pavilion.

The pavilion in the lake is neither big nor small. There are five rooms. If it is full, it can accommodate twenty people.The room in the middle belongs to the emperor, and with the empress dowager and empress, there are three masters, but everyone guesses that there must be an imperial concubine.

"The imperial concubine should be in the same room with the third and fourth princes, right next door to the middle room." Someone in the palace guessed.

"The emperor will definitely let the imperial concubine be by his side. Does it need to be said? I think several princes should have a separate room, and several princesses should have one room, and the remaining two rooms should be for important officials and members of the royal family. You are a respectable person, it is impossible to say that King Xin and Concubine Xin can be in it."

"Then why are there no Cheng Engong and Cheng Enhou's family? Don't these two families usually follow the nearest place?"

"This year is different from previous years. Look around here, there are so many places. It's such an honor to be with the emperor. It's not that easy. If you don't believe me, let's make a bet and see Either you are right or I am right."

"Gamble, bet, who is afraid of who."

Because of this matter, many people made bets, and it was all done by the palace people in private because they were bored. However, everyone agreed that there must be a place for imperial concubines, and no one doubted this.As for whether Cheng Engong's family and Cheng Enhou's family can enter the house in Huzhongting, some think they can, some think they can't, and some think that only one family can enter. Just for this, the bets are various. various.Just wait for the result to be announced on the [-]th day.

As a result, on the [-]th day, the room in the pavilion in the lake is just a few people in the palace, one room for the princesses, one room for the princes, one room for the emperor with the queen mother, one room for the queen and the imperial concubine, and the other two rooms. A lot of guards were arranged, plus the palace people, the number is not too small.

When the show on the ice started, everyone watched it with great interest. It was indeed much more interesting than listening to a play.
