Harem Empress

Chapter 68 The Wood on the Head

"I heard from King Xiang that it was Dong Guo's secret work." Yuan Xiang ignored my question and continued to eat on his own.

It seems that the last assassination in the paddock was not directed and acted by Concubine Jin, it was indeed someone who wanted to assassinate Emperor Jingyang, chatted for a while, and reluctantly sent Yuan Xiang away.

A few days later, I heard that Emperor Jingyang was fortunate enough to be the dancer who danced the neon dress dance that day, and he was named as a promise, and he sent Yu Mingxuan to join Su Meiren. It seems that men like beautiful women, let alone The ones that are automatically delivered to your door, don’t want them in vain. After the concubines in the harem found out, they were full of resentment but they didn’t dare to say anything. After all, even the queen mother didn’t say anything, let alone the queen!
The hot dog days are like a steamer, hiding in the house too lazy to go out, Su Ying walked in from outside with a smile, followed by a concubine-like person, it seems that she should be the one who agreed, she is really a person Ke Rener, although she was charming and enchanting at that time, but now she looks full of pity when her brows are lightly swept away, she walked to the bed unexpectedly, and said softly: "Who is this?"

"Concubine, Miaozhu has met Empress Dan, she is auspicious!" the woman lowered her body and saluted.

"You are the one, then I will agree!" said with some joy, and quickly greeted Taxue and the others to serve tea and prepare snacks.

"My concubine has just arrived in the palace, and I don't understand the rules of the palace very well. I have done something wrong. I hope that the concubine Dan will forgive me a lot!" Miao Zhu once again said humbly from his lower body.

It seems that this Miaozhu is much more humble than the previous Furong, with a kind smile on her face, she walked up to help her up quickly and said: "Sister Miao is about to say that, we serve the emperor together as a family." , the whole family, please don’t say such outrageous things!” As he spoke, he helped Miao Zhu up from the ground.

Miaozhu has always been docile, and always smiling, never talking too much or reticent, and slowly realized that Miaozhu is the dancer of Concubine Jin's family, she is 15 years old, the same age as Hua , and she also has good dancing skills. According to her, she never thought that one day she would become the concubine of Emperor Jingyang.No matter what she said is true or not, I have nothing to lose, and after saying a few words, the two of them left together again.

Since Emperor Jingyang's Longevity Festival, the concubines in the palace have become much more honest. Even when they go to the empress's Ding province every day, the concubines no longer attack with their own words. They always feel too calm, but again I can't tell what's wrong.

After lunch, the eunuch from the Empress Dowager's palace walked in quickly, and Fu lowered himself to salute and said, "My servant greets Empress Dan, good luck to Empress Dan!"

"Is there something wrong with the father-in-law?"

"The Empress Dowager passed on the message to Empress Dan, immediately go to the Palace of Compassion and Ning!"

Slightly nodding and smiling, he walked out of the Xiangyuan Pavilion quickly. The afternoon sun was the strongest. Along the way, his little clothes were already soaked. After tidying up briefly, he walked in quickly, with a look on his face. The majestic queen mother was sitting on the phoenix seat, and quickly lowered her body to salute: "Concubine pays respects to the queen mother, the queen mother is auspicious!"

The Empress Dowager, who was sitting on Feng, let out a lazy "um", and simply raised her hand to give her a little help.

He hurriedly sat aside in a well-behaved manner, waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.

"Aijia heard that Concubine Kang once saved your life?" The queen mother took a sip of tea from the table and asked nonchalantly.

It's strange why the Queen Mother suddenly asked this question. It's been a long time since the matter passed, and she replied unhurriedly: "Yes."

"Hmm! You can see clearly that it was Concubine Kang who shot the arrow!" The Queen Mother asked again and again.

He nodded heavily and said: "Yes, because the concubine's foot was sprained at that time, she couldn't move at all, but the emperor took all the guards to hunt again. Because of the sudden incident, sister Kang Concubine picked up the bow and arrow to save the concubine. A concubine is under a horse's hoof."

"I heard that you have always been very close to Concubine Kang!" The queen mother asked with a knowing expression.

"Sister Concubine Kang is the concubine's lifesaver. The Empress Dowager once taught the concubine to repay the favor of a drop of water." She replied sincerely.

"Then Aijia is telling you that you have to understand what is being reported by Yongquan? Should you report it? Can you report it? Well, Aijia is exhausted, so go back!" The Queen Mother waved her hand feebly. Said loosely.

Walking out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning full of doubts, the Empress Dowager clearly meant something, but what did she want to say to me? Could it be related to Concubine Kang?Did the queen mother start to regret letting Concubine Kang out?

It is well known in the palace that the Queen Mother likes to listen to operas. Since the incident in the Liyuan Building last time, the Queen Mother has not listened to operas again. The Queen specially asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up a courtyard called "Tingle Pavilion" for the Queen Mother to listen to operas. In the afternoon, all the concubines arrived, the queen and concubine Jin supported the queen mother and walked in. The queen mother sat on the seat with a happy smile on her face.

With the gong of "Dang Dang Dang", the opera officially began. At the beginning, "Silang visits his mother" was performed first. When the queen mother saw the depth, she wiped away two tears from time to time, and looked around casually , the place is not very big, and the people on the stage are also working very hard. Miao promised to sit in the last seat gently. I have heard that the Queen Mother is not very satisfied with the two newly promoted concubines. He dislikes that they are not famous ladies, one is a maidservant and the other is a dancer, but because Emperor Jingyang likes it, the Queen Mother can't stop her, so she can only turn a blind eye.

The queen mother likes to watch the performances one after another, and the smile on the queen mother's face has never disappeared. It seems that the queen has really worked hard to please the queen mother this time. I heard from Su Ying that the money for repairing Tingle Pavilion did not use the treasury, but All the queen's monthly allowances are used. How can the queen be unhappy if the queen is so filial?

Seeing the Empress and Empress Dowager chatting and laughing there, the Concubine Yuan in front sniffed her nose disdainfully, raised her voice and said, "I've heard that Tingle Pavilion has been in disrepair for many years. In such a time, the repairs are so magnificent, the Empress Sister took such painstaking efforts!"

After listening to Concubine Yuan's words, the Empress Dowager's face froze, and she said coldly: "The mahogany chairs here are much inferior to the huanghuali wooden chairs in your palace!" Concubine Yuan is the daughter of a merchant, she smells of copper all over her body, the queen mother clearly heard the irony in Concubine Yuan's words, she sat there and said contemptuously.

"This huanghuali wooden chair is very precious! It's not even in the emperor's royal study!" Concubine Jin added fuel and vinegar with a sinister smile.

Concubine Yuan gave an angry look at Concubine Jin next to her. In fact, she didn't know that the Queen Mother didn't like her. The reason why she said that just now was to please the Queen Mother. Who would have thought that the Queen Mother would be wrong about her? It caused a lot of irony, especially that bitch Jinfei, who can ignore anyone because of the empress dowager's doting on her. If you wait until the day when the empress dowager dies, let's see how proud you can be.
