good wife

Chapter 674 The real purpose (5)
Yuan Xi noticed Jing Yi's helplessness, turned his head to look, and smiled at King Ming, but there seemed to be a hint of warning in that smile!And Yuan Xi's eyes were extremely cold, obviously telling King Ming, don't think about my woman, I'm very upset!
King Ming raised a sneer on his lips, then turned his head, treating Yuan Xi as a transparent person, and ignored it at all.

Yuan Xi was annoyed in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. When he was thinking about whether to let the people from the dark pavilion go out of the palace and teach him a lesson, he heard a eunuch singing loudly, "The empress is here!"

Everyone got up and saluted, "Greetings to the queen (mother)! Good luck to the queen (mother)!"

"Let's all sit down." After the queen sat down, she glanced at everyone, "I think everyone knows about Wanfei's near miscarriage yesterday. Today, I will reiterate that Wanfei is pregnant, but The emperor's flesh and blood belong to the royal family! No one is allowed to harm you secretly! Yesterday, the emperor was very angry, but fortunately, concubine Wan is fine, she just needs to rest for a few days. My palace has already asked the emperor to promote concubine Wan to concubine Wan last night. Concubine Wan, the emperor has agreed to this matter yesterday, and it is estimated that the decree will be announced today."

After hearing this, the people below were immediately discussing, and the most talked about was nothing more than the fact that mothers are more expensive than children.Su Jing lowered her head slightly and stood behind all the concubines. She was just a noble person, and if it wasn't for the Queen's call today, she would not be qualified to enter Kunning Palace.

"Okay! A while ago, I was obsessed with Buddhism and handed over the affairs of the harem to Concubine De to take care of it. I didn't expect such a big mess to happen! It seems that I have to clean it up. All the concubines Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the emperor's bedside people, and the health of the dragon should be the top priority in everything, of course, if you can spread the branches and leaves for the royal family like a concubine, it would be the best."

The queen's voice is as gentle as jade, like a heavenly being. Anyone who sees her gentle and dignified appearance now, and hears such gentle words, will think how virtuous and virtuous the queen is!Jingyi felt disdainful, but just lowered her head, thinking that the queen was going to prepare for her next purge of the harem.

"From today onwards, my sisters, follow the rules of the palace, and no one should violate them. In addition, the emperor has issued an order to strictly investigate the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Therefore, I would like to advise all my sisters, which one was not related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs before?" It's close, now, it's best to restrain yourself, don't let the people sent by the emperor get caught, when the time comes, no one will be able to protect you!"

The Queen's words clearly meant not to get too close to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but secretly meant not to have anything to do with Concubine De, otherwise, it would be against the Queen!In this case, in this harem, it is already relatively straightforward!Who doesn't know that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has always been controlled by Concubine De's people?Saying this now is to make it clear to everyone that the emperor wants to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs, that is to say, the emperor has no favor for Concubine De!
Jin Wang and Jin Wangfei on the side looked gloomy, and worked hard for many years, so they were about to be defeated by the queen?A look of unwillingness flashed in King Jin's eyes!But what if you are unwilling?I heard that concubine De knelt at the gate of Chengqian Palace last night, but the emperor never summoned her!When had the emperor been so cruel to his mother and concubine?When was it not that the emperor's heart softened as long as the mother and concubine showed a little weakness?Now it seems that the status of mother and concubine is in jeopardy!

King Jin's expression was slightly uneasy, but after all, he grew up in the palace, and King Jin's expression soon became abnormally calm, as if what the queen said just now had nothing to do with him.

The queen trained a few more words, and then let all the concubines leave.

The queen looked at the rest of the people, and said lightly: "You are all children of this palace. I have high hopes for you, but some of you have disappointed me too much!"

After the queen finished speaking, she sighed softly, as if she was very regretful.

King Ming hurriedly said: "Mother, I don't know what the children have done wrong? Please tell the mother clearly! The children must correct themselves carefully."

The Xian King was also a little puzzled and said: "I have done something wrong, my son, please ask the queen mother to reprimand me."

Seeing this posture, Yuan Xi knew that the queen was trying to test his attitude with the virtuous king, so he also accompanied him with a smile and said: "Mother, I don't know where I have offended my mother, so I ask my mother to show me."

At this time, King Jin could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Please let the empress make it clear! If there is anything wrong with the ministers, please ask the empress to advise."

The queen's eyes seemed to be unintentional, but in fact, she paused for a moment on the faces of the princes full of calculations and said: "Last night, I also said that there are occasional shortages of various supplies in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although it will not cause trouble, it will still hurt the face of the royal family and the state. In a few days, it will be the Qianqiu Festival. I heard that the royal family of Southern Xinjiang will also send people to congratulate the emperor. People in southern Xinjiang should not be underestimated."

The queen's words are on point, what else do they not understand?The queen is thinking about getting them to pay money!Fill the Ministry of Internal Affairs?I'm afraid it's not that simple!

Sure enough, the queen's next words almost didn't scare King Jin and Princess Jin to their knees!

"Actually, I don't understand. I remember that before retreating to practice Buddhism, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was still fully equipped. Why is it so far behind now?"

A seemingly unintentional remark pushed Concubine De, who hadn't come, to the edge of the cliff again!
