Harem Seizure

Chapter 58

Li Huang, who had finished handling political affairs in Zhengyang Palace, was very angry when he heard that the Empress Dowager Chu had reprimanded all the concubines for venting their anger on Concubine Lian.The resentment towards that Concubine Lian also grew deeper in my heart.Li Huang would not be unaware that what happened in Yi'an Palace today was caused by Concubine Lian.In fact, he couldn't understand why the Empress Dowager Chu made such an unpleasant disturbance to the concubines on the day she returned to the palace.

Moreover, scolding the queen for no reason also made Li Huang feel unhappy.Although Li Huang didn't love the queen very much, she was also his wife.He is one with him, and he can pay less attention to her, which doesn't mean that the queen mother can easily not give the queen face.It is good that the queen is the daughter-in-law of the queen wife, but it is only a daughter-in-law in name.The empress dowager gave empress no face in this way, and it also slapped Li Huang loudly.

With a dark face, Li Huang sat in the main seat of Zhengyang Hall and did not speak.The face was dark and dark.This made Wen Shunxi dare not say anything, Li Huang also snorted softly and did not speak when he saw Wen Yushu like you.

Wen Shunxi looked at Li Huang's expression quietly, and felt that Li Huang's complexion was gradually darkening, and he was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to say that at this time to make Li Huang angry.

Li Huang looked up, Wen Shunxi, who kept wiping his sweat, glanced at him, snorted and said, "Why are you acting like this? What happened? Are you so anxious?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said that you should go to Yi'an Palace after handling the political affairs." Wen Shunxi lowered his head, not daring to look into Li Huang's eyes, he was afraid that Li Huang would get angry and punishment would come to himself.

After listening to Wen Shunxi's words, Li Huang suddenly smiled.After the empress dowager's seizure, the concubines are going to look for me?Li Huang snorted softly and said: "Wen Shunxi, let's go to Yi'an Palace to give the Queen Mother...a greeting." Li Huang bit the word "Please An" very hard, with a faint anger in his expression.

Wen Shunxi had no choice but to nod in agreement, and wiped the sweat off his head.

When Li Huang arrived at Yi'an Palace, as soon as he entered, he saw the silent Queen Mother sitting on the seat in the main hall.The Empress Dowager Chu was still sitting there with a calm face as before, pursing her thin lips.It's just that there is no Concubine Lian by her side, and there is only anger left in her expression.Seeing the Queen Mother like this, Li Huang tightly frowned, stood in Yi'an Palace, did not speak, just looked at the Queen Mother quietly.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Li Huang, snorted softly and said: "Yo, your Majesty, you will be here at this time. The Ai family is really dazzled, to ask the emperor to stand here and wait for such a long time, it is really Aijia That's not right." After the queen mother finished speaking, she glared at the servant girl beside her and said, "You damn girl, you didn't report the emperor's arrival."

The emperor looked coldly at the play that the queen mother was performing in front of him, and couldn't help but laughed and said, "I saw you sitting there thinking about something, so you didn't ask anyone to inform you. I don't know what you are thinking, queen mother? You even Didn't see any."

The queen mother looked at the servants on the left and right, and said in a deep voice: "You all go down, the Ai family wants to talk to the emperor."

Li Huang raised the corner of his mouth slightly, glanced at Wen Shunxi, and motioned for him to go down too.

Wen Shunxi has been with Li Huang for many years, so he naturally understood Li Huang's meaning, so he had no choice but to remain silent and stand at the door as the gatekeeper.

Seeing everyone retreating, the Queen Mother couldn't help but look at Li Huang and said: "Emperor, Aijia would like to ask you today, are you the Aijia or not the Empress Dowager of Li Kingdom?"

"You are the empress conferred by your father before his death, so you are naturally the empress dowager of the Li country." Li Huang said with a sullen face, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

How could the Empress Dowager Chu not see the sarcasm in Li Huang's eyes, she was naturally unhappy.With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Aijia thinks that you want to empty Aijia. What is the significance of what the queen mother of Aijia does?"

"Don't say that, Queen Mother. I feel that I treat you very filially. I don't think there is any disrespect to you. How can you say such a thing?" Li Huang raised his chin slightly and looked down at the woman sitting on the chair. Empress Dowager Chu with an angry face.

"Hmph. Your Majesty, what you said sounds nice, but the Ai family can't tell how much you respect the mother of the Ai family. Anyway, the Ai family will not mention these. You can explain to the Ai family why you want to do that. Humiliate Lin'er like that?" The queen mother snorted softly, with disdain in her expression.He raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Huang, as if he was inquiring about the crime.

Li Huang looked at the Empress Dowager's appearance and heard the Empress Dowager's tone, unable to maintain the superficial kindness, he even sneered and said: "The Empress Dowager is going to ask the teacher to blame me? Empress Dowager, you feel that I am ashamed of that Lian concubine?"

"Emperor, what did you say? The Ai family is the empress dowager of this palace, and also the supreme leader of the harem. The Ai family can take care of the conflicts between the concubines." The queen mother was very dissatisfied when she heard Huang Li's tone. If you are friendly, the queen mother will no longer be polite.It is directly thrown out that she is the supreme of the harem, and everything is respected by her, so she is naturally in control.

Li Huang laughed lightly when he heard this, and after walking a few steps in Yi'an Palace, he suddenly laughed and said, "What you said, Queen Mother, is reasonable. But Concubine Lian is one of my people, and she can be regarded as my concubine among the people. How can I It is also my business to manage my concubine. Although you are my mother, the aunt of Concubine Lian should not intervene, right?" Li Huang's words are very clear, and the meaning is very simple, that is, you should not meddle in other people's business up.

The Empress Dowager clenched her fists tightly, seeing Li Huang like this was really going to die of anger.Can't help but also stood up and said: "Aijia just wants to know, how can you use that trick on Lin'er? If Lin'er is thin-skinned, wouldn't she be going to die?"

Li Huang raised his peachy eyes, smiled lightly and said: "The Queen Mother is talking about such things? Concubine Lian is also an ignorant person, how can I tell you about the things in this room. All these things are said Come out, it can be seen that Concubine Lian is not a thin-skinned person."

"Emperor, no matter what, you can't punish her. How can she get a foothold in front of the concubines?" The queen mother felt dizzy and calmed down when she heard Li Huang's words full of insult. It took a while to say.

"Why can't I gain a foothold? I know that my concubines are all kind people. They won't laugh at Concubine Yu Lian just because of this matter."

"You... are so mad and sad." The queen mother touched her chest, stared at Li Huang and panted a few times: "Lin'er has a body, why didn't you reward her?"

Li Huang heard the Queen Mother's words, his eyes darkened, and he thought: It's not easy, after going around such a big circle, we finally talked about the formal topic? "Oh, look at my memory. During this period of time, I have to be busy not only with the things that will happen next year, but also with envoys from all over the world. I really forgot about the Concubine Lian."

"This Lin'er is pregnant with your child, do you still have the heart to make her suffer?"

There was a smile on the corner of Li Huang's mouth, but he didn't speak.The queen mother was aggressive, but he didn't care.Looking at what the Queen Mother meant, it was nothing more than wanting to give Concubine Lian justice. "How about this, is it okay for me to increase the cost of Concubine Lian to that of a noble concubine?"

"Among the four concubines on the left and right, there is only one concubine Xian. Wouldn't the emperor be willing to give the title of concubine four?" The queen mother stared at Li Huang and said.The Empress Dowager secretly hated, her niece Lin'er, how could she be inferior to that virtuous concubine Shao Yunyan?It's actually pressing on Lin'er's head now, the queen mother can't swallow this breath.

As expected, Li Huang's eyes darkened.Above the four concubines, there is indeed only one concubine Xian.Who is Shao Yunyan?It was his master's child, although he was comparable to the empress dowager's niece, but Li Huang hated Grand Master Pang.The Empress Dowager's words flicked out, but Li Huang felt unwilling.Glancing at the queen mother, she sneered and said, "The queen mother is too worried. I am still young. Although the fourth concubine is only one concubine, it is enough. Concubine Lian's status is not low now, and the first to be promoted is the fourth concubine. If you give birth to a dragon, how do you want me to reward you? This Li Kingdom has been governed since ancient times, the harem, the first queen, the first imperial concubine, the second noble concubine, and the fourth concubine. The eight concubines are the most honored, and they can also be rewarded in front of the ancestral hall and the royal hall. Yes. If Concubine Lian gave birth to Long'er in the future, there must be a reward. I can't abolish one of the noble concubines and give the title to Concubine Lian, right?"

When the Queen Mother heard Li Huang's words, she was so choked that she couldn't say anything.Every word and every word of Li Huang was justified, she had no way to refute it, so something else happened. "Your Majesty, that girl of the Shao family has been promoted too quickly. In just a few months, she became one of the four concubines, and she is not pregnant. It will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the harem and everyone will criticize her. This concubine is still young. Putting her in the position of one of the four concubines will inevitably make people red-eyed, and if something happens, we will not look good."

Li Huang heard the Queen Mother's words, his eyes darkened even more.He didn't interrupt the Empress Dowager, but just smiled and said, "Then what do you think, Empress Dowager?"

"The Ai family sees that she is very young, and she has a lot of opportunities. Being a fourth concubine is not enough, and the Ai family sees that if he starts from a low level, he can also ask her to experience it." The queen mother saw that Li Huang had no face. Angry, he said with a light smile.

Li Huang's eyes flickered, looking at the empress dowager's eyes already concealed a faint anger.Lowering her voice, maintaining a calm tone, she said, "Then what do you think the status of that concubine Xian should be?"

"Ai family, she must not know much at such a young age, so she is worthy of being a concubine." The queen mother gritted her teeth and said.The queen mother really didn't like Shao Yunyan.Not to mention the grievances with his father, just say that today the Queen Mother has suffered twice in a row, which will make the Queen Mother feel angry.Li Huang is the emperor, and the queen mother cannot touch her.But Shao Yunyan is different, she is just a concubine, she is the queen mother, even if she is punished, she should be punished.

What the Empress Dowager said made Huang Li's face darken immediately.Li Huang always believed that the Queen Mother was just trying to complain to Concubine Lian and wanted to earn a position for Concubine Lian.Unexpectedly, she extended her hand to Shao Yunyan's body.Li Huang's heart became darker and darker. Although he couldn't say he loved Shao Yunyan, he still liked her from the bottom of his heart.Li Huangying frowned slightly, pulled the corners of her mouth and said coldly: "The queen mother's words are unreasonable. The father of this virtuous concubine is Shao Xiang, and Shao Xiang was also the master who taught me when I was the crown prince. An official who is reasonable, understands human feelings, and understands righteousness. His daughter is naturally not bad, and besides, this virtuous concubine is the concubine I personally conferred in front of Longde Hall. Naturally, she cannot be easily torn away from her position."

After listening to Li Huang's words, the queen mother also broke out a layer of sweat.She just thought that Shao Yunyan's father was Shao Xiang, but she forgot that Shao Xiang was the one who taught Li Huang.What she just said is naturally reasonable.But it's different when it comes to her. When she said that, it meant that Shao Xiang was a foolish and immoral person.This Prime Minister Shao is not only the prime minister, he is also the emperor's tutor.This word... fortunately.The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, then smiled and said: "It's the Ai family who thinks left. What the emperor said is very true, not to mention that the concubine Xian's father is the emperor's teacher, and his daughter is naturally not much worse. Just say that you have already Canonized concubines cannot be changed from day to day, that's not good. The Ai family's thinking is not as thorough as the emperor's, it's the Ai family's fault." The Empress Dowager calmed down and continued: "It's just this Concubine De?"

"Empress Dowager, are you confused? Where is there a concubine De in this palace?" Li Huang sneered, his expression was icy cold.

"That girl in Hailin understands Aijia, why now..." The Empress Dowager couldn't understand why Emperor Li took the position of Concubine De in the 30s.Logically speaking, Concubine De's father has made great contributions, so he should be rewarded for guessing correctly, why would he still have his title removed?
Li Huang glanced at the Queen Mother, then lowered his voice.A little bit coldly said: "The Queen Mother should not worry about this matter. I still have something to do, you should rest well." After Li Huang finished speaking, he walked away, leaving the Queen Mother sitting alone in Yi'an Palace.

Wen Shunxi looked at Li Huang's dark face, suddenly his body trembled, looked at Li Huang quietly, and shrank his neck.He also heard what he said just now, if the emperor wants to silence... Wen Shunxi didn't dare to think about it.

As he was walking, Li Huang suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Wen Shunxi... go back and draw up an order." Li Huang's eyes flashed, and he looked in the direction of Jianfu Palace, which was particularly dark.The calculations and schemes in his eyes made Wen Shunxi wipe off his sweat, and followed Li Huang's eyes, "Fuck, Concubine Lian, it seems that you are going to be in trouble.
