Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 278 The Monkey Calls The King

"By the way, you definitely don't think that the two Grids looked a little weird just now."

Only then did Chen Wenxin think of the two of them, and it was the prince who interrupted her just now, causing her to ignore them.

"Master's words are a little bit. Why don't the servants go and invite the two princesses, and the master will ask them in person?"

"Forget it, noble Zizhang and concubine De will come later, and it's inconvenient to bump into each other. Ask when you find time."

She just felt that the atmosphere in the palace was depressing once, if only she could live outside the palace often and not come back.

As soon as he returned to Yikun Palace, Chen Wenxin first ordered to distribute all the various gifts brought from the south, and rewarded everyone in Yikun Palace.

Then he called the small table in alone and asked him what happened to Concubine Tong's birthday banquet.

The small table had planned that Chen Wenxin would ask about this matter as soon as he came back, so he spoke out like beans in a bamboo tube.

"Because the emperor went on a southern tour and the concubines moved back to the palace, Concubine Tong's birthday was held in the palace. It's her thirtieth birthday, so it's naturally a grand celebration."

"As the birthday is approaching, Concubine Tong did not know what kindness she expressed, she said to pack up and find some jewelry to give to the sisters in the palace. It is her kindness to teach them to wear it on the day of the birthday banquet."

"Everyone thought that she was just using rewards to show off her prestige. No one would not wear them on the birthday banquet. Who would have thought that Concubine Hui wore a phoenix hairpin with five phoenixes on it. The shape of the phoenix is ​​also strange. They are intertwined, and at first glance, it is impossible to count five of them."

Chen Wenxin understood a little when she heard this, "Concubine Tong Guifei wanted to use this five-phoenix hairpin to say that Concubine Hui was disrespectful, and Concubine Hui said that this is the hairpin that Concubine Tong rewarded, and she only wears it, isn't it?"

"Exactly, the master's predictions are accurate. The two insisted on their own opinions, how could Concubine Hui dare to be strong? In the end, Concubine Tong reprimanded Concubine Hui, and then accused the elders around Concubine Hui of conniving at the master's violation of the palace rules. Maid."

This method is very simple, and it doesn't take much effort.

Thinking that the emperor and she are not in the palace, Concubine Tong Guifei is too lazy to use any clever means to deal with a concubine Hui who has been disliked by the emperor?
It's just that those who know the truth can understand it when they think about it, but outsiders may not be able to understand it.

Perhaps others will think that Concubine Hui is used to holding the phoenix seal as the head of the harem, and Concubine Tong is just jealous of her.

Thinking about the fact that the elder brother was proposed by the courtiers to be the crown prince, he must be inseparable from Concubine Hui's handwriting, so it doesn't seem surprising that she dared to disrespect Concubine Tong.

Chen Wenxin snorted coldly, "Anyone with a discerning eye will know this after thinking about it. Concubine Hui really wants to be disrespectful, so why bother wearing a hairpin that can't tell whether it's the four or five phoenixes?"

"However, Concubine Tong gave the hairpin so abnormally. The people in her palace naturally killed it and gave it not this one. The emperor came back and wanted to check, but there was no proof."

This is why there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are called kings.

Concubine Tong, a monkey, has learned a lot, and can think of this method to frame Concubine Hui.

She was great because she didn't really do anything to Concubine Hui, she just gave her shame and made her lose an arm.

A big fight made it appear that she was deliberately framed, so it can also appear that she is magnanimous.

The second is small punishments and big warnings. Concubine Hui's status in the palace is already in name only, and the assistant harem has become a false name.

Her goal has been achieved.

She was thinking about whether she should help Concubine Hui, but only heard reports from outside.

"Master, Empress Debi and Mrs. Zhang are out to see you."

"Please come in quickly."

She waved the small table back, and Concubine De and Mrs. Zhang came in, sat down to have tea after saluting.

"How is your empress going on tour? I heard that the emperor is very happy, but there is a mess in the palace."

Hearing what Zhang Guiren said, Chen Wenxin hurriedly asked, "What? Apart from Concubine Hui's matter, is there anything else that can't be done?"

Mrs. Zhang Gui was a little surprised, thinking that she had just returned to the palace, and they wanted to come to the small table and they wanted to report, but they didn't have time to finish.

She then said: "Naturally, Concubine Hui's matter is the biggest thing. You've heard about it beforehand? Not only that, since the emperor is not in the palace, she will start to be domineering again."

"It's nothing more than a birthday banquet. We usually gather everyone together when we have nothing to do. Sometimes we will enjoy flowers in the Imperial Garden, and sometimes we will drink tea in Chengqian Palace. She is very honorable, so we naturally dare not force her."

The concubine De also said: "That's all. I'm used to bowing my eyebrows and respecting her in front of her. It's just that they are arrested again to copy the scriptures. This time, it's not only Zhang Guiren, but also everyone and the five princesses." I have a share with the two princesses."

Concubine Tong Gui didn't arrest so many people in her palace, but ordered them to submit five or ten articles in ten days.

It stands to reason that copying the scriptures is not difficult, the key point is that many concubines in this palace don't know many words!
Asking the concubines who can't read a few big characters to copy the scriptures, and they have to do it neatly without mistakes, which is more difficult than asking them to do manual work.

"She has another reason. Because the empress dowager is uneasy, she said that she wants to copy the scriptures to pray for the empress dowager. She also said that the emperor is concerned about the war in Taiwan and wants to copy the scriptures to pray for the peace of the sea and the unification of the Qing Dynasty."

Chen Wenxin couldn't help frowning, "Why didn't she let the fifth princess and the two princesses go? They have nothing to do with her. It's strange that the two princesses were hesitant to talk when they saw me just now, and they thought they were wronged because of this." .”

Concubine De pursed her lips when she heard the words, but it was Zhang Guiren who couldn't hold back and said first: "I'm afraid it's not for copying the scriptures. You keep Bai Xue Baishuang in charge of the Zhongcui Palace, and those nuns leaned back Yes. Concubine Tong Gui seemed a little displeased, and sent the mother-in-law of Chengqian Palace to Haosheng to teach her a lesson."

She took care of the two princesses, and it was her intention to let them escape from the strict control of the nuns.

Now that Concubine Tong is doing this, it is clearly slapping her in the face.

Once the nuns who took care of the two princesses gained power, they would presumably control them more severely than before.

No wonder the two princesses looked aggrieved just now.

"It's the same here with the two princesses, and it's the same with the fifth princess?"

Concubine De said: "The fifth princess is raised under the name of Concubine Hui, and Concubine Tong Gui naturally wants to punish her. How can Concubine Hui be happy?"

This made Chen Wenxin annoyed, "She has any desire to fight for power and gain, and to be jealous. She only came here for us. It's a pity to see the children involved."

She suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly told Bai Lu, "Hurry up and bring Fifth Prince, and ask his nanny to come over with him."

Concubine De comforted her and said, "Don't worry, elder brother Wu is your son now, and he is raised in Yikun Palace. No matter how long Concubine Tong's hands are, she would not dare to stretch them here."

After hearing this, she felt relieved, and said: "I'm not in the palace, so I let you suffer for me."

If Chen Wenxin was in the palace, the combined weight of her and Concubine Hui might not be able to make Concubine Tong do such evil.

It's a pity that she is not here, and concubine Hui can't accomplish anything. Concubine Rong and Concubine De were also surrendered by Concubine Tong Gui, so they dare not stand out.

Zhang Guiren and Wei Chang are even more afraid to speak when they are low in these positions.

Fortunately, the fifth elder brother is fine, he is a small person, what if Concubine Tong goes mad to attack him?
She felt relieved when she saw that the grandma brought the fifth elder brother here, and the fifth elder brother was still drooling and giggling.

Zhang Gui saw how nervous she was, and said with a smile: "In the past, there were people who said that the fifth elder brother was born in Yigui. Yigui harmed you so much in life, and you would not treat her son kindly. Look now, it is better than your own son. Not far behind."

She just smiled, "What's the matter with the child? He hasn't done anything bad, and his mind is still a clean sheet of paper."

De Concubine turned back to the topic and said, "Then what do you think in your heart, how should Concubine Hui handle this matter?"

If you want to help Concubine Hui, you have to find evidence to prove that the hairpin was indeed given by Concubine Tong.

After such a long time, will Concubine Tong still keep that hairpin?

As long as she finds an excuse to say that the hairpin is missing, there is no way to investigate this matter.

What's more, what the emperor said to her before is still in my ears, and it is not appropriate to touch Concubine Tong at this time.

She shook her head, "Fortunately, it's not a big deal. Concubine Hui has suffered some grievances. This matter is beyond my control."

As soon as she said this, she was afraid that Concubine De and Zhang Guiren would be chilled, so she hurriedly added: "To tell you the truth, if Concubine Tong does not suppress Concubine Hui, she will suppress me. If Concubine Tong does not return, she is not Hui now. Concubine was suppressed, but she came to suppress me."

These words can be regarded as clear enough, between Tong Guifei, Hui Concubine and her, there is some three-legged confrontation.

Now Concubine Tong is like Cao Wei, dominating the country, Concubine Hui and Chen Wenxin will join forces to help each other like Sun Liu.

Among the three countries, if one country falls first, the other two countries will attack each other, whether it is an alliance or whatever.

It is the best situation for her to be able to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Of course, if Tong Guifei has gone too far, she still has to help Concubine Hui, so as not to let Concubine Hui completely collapse.

Both Debi and Zhang Gui understood that the situation in the palace was changing rapidly, and they were people who had been immersed in it for many years, so they could always see it clearly after mentioning it.

Besides, Concubine Tong's mother's family is still heavily used by the emperor, at this time, she must not offend her.

It can be seen from the fact that the emperor gave Tong Guifei a smile as soon as he returned to the palace, and then asked her to go to the Qianqing Palace to talk.

When did the emperor take the initiative to summon Concubine Tong?

It's rare to come here for half a year, and since Chen Wenxin came, it's even rarer.

Now that the emperor has this attitude, who else in the palace would dare to resist Concubine Tong?

"But don't worry, both of you, the relationship between our sisters is different from Concubine Hui. If Concubine Tong dares to stretch her hands on you, I will never stand by and watch."

As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, all relieved.

In fact, Chen Wenxin didn't intend to do nothing.

That would only make her worse, without any scruples.
