Chapter 774: Harem Rivalry
Li Hao stood at the foot of the high slope, looked back at Ganye Temple, and then looked at Xu Jingzong who was far away in the night, and couldn't help sighing, these people were originally hot-blooded scholars, but after entering the officialdom, they were defiled, for the sake of power and status, sharpened their heads and drilled up, violated their original intentions and conscience, and became the kind of people they once looked down on and scolded.
However, Li Hao knows that no matter who they take refuge into, when they choose selfishness and power desire, they have already lost, not to mention whether Wu Meiniang can become the emperor, even if she can sit on the throne of the emperor, Li Hao is confident that she will be driven down from the throne, this Datang will eventually become the new Datang, Li Hao's biggest enemy now is not anyone, but this feudal social system, this thing has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, what Li Hao wants to do now is to change the whole world with the power of one person, according to common sense, This is impossible, even if it is a traverser, it is impossible to do it, it is too crazy, but Li Hao wants to try it, he has been preparing for so many years, science has become popular, and he still has a chance to win.
After feeling for a long time, Li Hao also walked back, keeping a distance of three or four miles from Xu Jingzong, with Li Hao's ability, let alone night, even if it was daytime, it was too simple not to be discovered by Xu Jingzong's guards.
Until the outside of Chang'an City, the sky was almost dawn, Xu Jingzong was waiting at the west gate, Li Hao was waiting at the east gate, after opening the city gate, Li Hao entered the city as soon as possible and went home.
When I returned home, I just arrived at the middle courtyard, and I saw that under the locust tree in the corner of the middle courtyard, four children were practicing boxing, Li Tu stood in the front, and the other three stood in a row in the back.
Li Hao nodded with satisfaction, it seems that it is indeed useful to use Li Xiaoyao to force them, this group of guys is so conscious now, a serious attitude is a good start, Li Hao does not bother them, he didn't sleep all night, he was a little sleepy, and went back to the room to rest.
In the harem, Concubine Xiao Shu walked in the garden with a big belly, enjoying the fresh air and gentle sunshine in the morning, as well as the blooming peony flowers, the dew on the petals has not yet dissipated, and the maidservants and attendants followed both sides of Concubine Xiao Shu, serving carefully, lest there be any mistakes.
After strolling around the garden, Concubine Xiao Shufei was ready to leave, just arrived at the gate of the courtyard, she saw Queen Wang with two maidservants and the chamberlain walking slowly, seeing Concubine Xiao Shu, Queen Wang frowned slightly, she is a generous woman, but Concubine Xiao Shufei is too pampered and arrogant, relying on Li Zhi's favor, she does not put her as a queen in her eyes at all, she is the queen, she wants to rule the harem, and Concubine Xiao Shufei has made her lose face again and again, which makes her still in charge of the harem, God knows how other concubines talk behind their backs.
Seeing Queen Wang, Concubine Xiao Shupi smiled and said, "Yo, Sister Queen also came to enjoy the flowers, the peonies in the garden are blooming, and they look good." β
"Hongu is just a casual walk here." Queen Wang also smiled perfunctorily, and then said in a slightly reproachful tone, "Sister Shufei doesn't need to salute when she sees this palace?" β
Concubine Xiao Shufei suddenly smiled when she heard this, stroked her bulging stomach with both hands, and said, "Liangdi is pregnant with Liujia, it is really inconvenient to salute, please forgive the queen." β
Queen Wang knew that she would say this, so she said: "The harem has its own rules of the harem, you are pregnant with Liujia, and this palace is not an unreasonable person, but after you see this palace, even if you can't salute, at least you have to greet and confess first." β
"What Niangniang taught me is that Liangdi knows that she is wrong, and Liangdi will definitely not do it again in the future." Concubine Xiao replied with her head lowered.
Seeing that she finally pressed Concubine Xiao Shu's head, Queen Wang's heart was refreshed, she turned around and left in a dashing manner, Concubine Xiao Shufei raised her head, looked at the back of Queen Wang in the distance, snorted coldly, and then said to the attendant beside her: "Laifu, you go to report to Your Majesty urgently, just say that the palace suddenly has unbearable abdominal pain." β
"Yes."
Li Zhi had just finished boxing in the Ganlu Hall and was about to have breakfast, when suddenly a waiter came to report that Concubine Xiao Shu's abdominal pain was unbearable, Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Go and pass the imperial doctor, I will go to see her immediately!" β
Li Zhi hurriedly came to Concubine Xiao Shufei's palace, only to see Concubine Xiao Shu lying on the bed, constantly moaning there, Li Zhi hurriedly came to the bed, gently helped her up, and asked softly: "Liangdi, what's wrong with you?" Why do you suddenly have abdominal pain? β
"Concubine...... The concubines did not know. Concubine Xiao Shu looked weak and said, "The little guy in Xu is stomach is unstable and kicks the concubine." β
Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the imperial doctor will be here immediately, and there will be no problem." β
Concubine Xiao Shufei shook her head: "Your Majesty, there is no need to pass on the imperial doctor." "That delicate appearance is simply a play.
Li Zhi stiffened his face and said, "How can you not pass on the imperial doctor, see what kind of pain you have become." β
At this time, the palace maid who was serving with water on the side spoke: "Niangniang is angry, and the prince in the womb can't see Niangniang being angry, so he kicks and kicks indiscriminately, but unfortunately it is Niangniang who suffers." β
"Shut up!" Concubine Xiao Shufei hurriedly stopped the maid, but she waited for the maid to finish speaking, and it was obvious that the two had rehearsed.
How could the naΓ―ve Li Zhi know that these women were so insidious and cunning, as soon as he heard that Concubine Xiao Shu was angry, he turned his head to look at the maid, frowned and asked, "Who!" Who made the mother angry! β
Concubine Xiao Shufei's acting skills exploded and comforted Li Zhi: "Your Majesty, no one makes the concubines angry." β
"I don't believe it!" Li Zhi glared at the maid called Que Ping, and said coldly, "Tell me quickly, who made Concubine Shu angry, if you don't say it, I will punish you with a cane!" β
When the maid heard this, she fell to her knees with a frightened thud and said, "Your Majesty, it was the queen who made the lady angry." β
"Queen?" Li Zhi frowned for a while when he heard this, and then asked, "How did the queen make Concubine Shu angry?" Speaking carefully, don't leave a word out! β
Que Ping wiped her tears and said: "This morning Shufei Niangniang visited the garden, just met the queen, the queen blamed Shufei Niangniang for not saluting her, Shufei Niangniang apologized, saying that she was pregnant, it was inconvenient to salute, and the queen blamed Shufei Niangniang for not knowing the etiquette, she said, since Niangniang is pregnant and can't salute, then when you see it, you should also greet first, and complain, Niangniang was wronged, and the slave guessed that the little prince in the womb must protect his mother's heart, and naturally he had to punch and kick, and Niangniang suffered. β
"I see." Li Zhi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, it turned out to be this big fart, he thought it was a big deal, and scared him a lot, but now Concubine Xiao Shufei was depressed, and the abdominal pain was unbearable, he had to calm Concubine Xiao's emotions, and said: "Don't worry, Concubine Ai, I will go and tell the queen later, before you give birth, you don't have to salute her, the rules are dead, people are alive, right." β
"The emperor really favors his concubines." Concubine Xiao Shu seemed to have taken a dose of reassuring medicine, and said coquettishly, "I'm afraid that the queen's sister will be unhappy." β
"How so?" Li Zhi said with a smile, "The queen is not such a stomachless person, don't worry, she won't be unhappy, in the future, the two of you must get along in harmony, don't make trouble for this little thing, you are harmonious, I can handle state affairs with peace of mind." β
"Well, Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine will definitely get along with the queen's sister." Concubine Xiao Shu pretended to be well-behaved, and these concubines in the harem who competed for favor were all drama spirits.
Soon, the imperial doctor came, and as soon as he heard that it was Concubine Xiao Shufei's abdominal pain, he actually sent three academicians, after all, Concubine Xiao Shufei is now pregnant with a dragon species, and the hospital did not dare to be sloppy.
Now Li Zhi believes that Concubine Xiao Shufei is angry with Queen Wang, in fact, he doesn't know, moving fetal gas is a very flexible statement, if a pregnant woman has abdominal pain, and the doctor can't find out the symptoms, then say that the fetal gas is moved, the fetal gas is moved, the result can be big or small, the smallest result is nothing, the most serious consequence is one corpse and two lives, so the saying of moving the fetal gas is really flexible.
After the doctors finished diagnosing it, they retired first, and Li Zhi also let Concubine Xiao Shufei sleep, personally covered her with a quilt, and let her rest well, before leaving, as soon as Li Zhi left, Concubine Xiao Shufei lifted the quilt and sat up.
Que Ping also stood up from the ground and helped Xiao Shufei to sit down at the table, Xiao Shufei praised: "Ping'er, you acted very well just now, and you have a reward." β
"Thank you, mother." Que Ping was overjoyed and said, "Presumably the emperor should go to count the queen now." β
Concubine Xiao Shufei smiled proudly: "Whether the emperor goes up or not, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that I want to make the impression of the Wang family in the emperor's mind worse little by little, which is called accumulating a lot, one day, this bit by bit of dissatisfaction will converge into a torrent of rivers, so that Your Majesty will burst out, and the result will ...... ......"If Li Zhi saw Concubine Xiao Shufei's sinister smile at the moment, it is estimated that he would doubt life."
Li Zhi is too simple, he really went to find Queen Wang, in fact, no matter whether he went to find Queen Wang or not, he had already fallen for Concubine Xiao Shu, and now he went to Queen Wang, and he was more fooled, fortunately, he didn't get angry, and he didn't ask the queen, his attitude was not bad, after all, in his opinion, this was not a big deal at all, there was no need to make a big fuss, he had a peaceful personality, and he didn't like to be angry.
He told the queen in a negotiated tone, Concubine Xiao Shufei is currently pregnant, don't care about the question of not being polite, why should women embarrass women, for Concubine Xiao Shufei is angry and causes abdominal pain, Li Zhi did not tell her, he wants a bowl of water to be flat, his starting point is very good, but the women around him do not have a simple character, in fact, compared to Xiao Shufei and Wu Meiniang, Queen Wang is already very good, Queen Wang is far inferior to Xiao Shufei and Wu Meiniang in terms of scheming and city government.
For what Li Zhi said, Queen Wang naturally agreed with a humble attitude, but in fact, she was very depressed and angry in her heart, she knew that Concubine Xiao Shufei had complained to Li Zhi again, this is not the first time, the harem competes for favor, and what she is fighting for is the emperor's favor, and Concubine Xiao Shufei always complains to Li Zhi in a different way, how can she stand it, now many high-ranking chamberlains in the harem have gone to befriend Concubine Xiao Shu, and many concubines have also frequently entered and exited Concubine Xiao Shu's bedroom, but her queen's bedroom is a crowd at the door, she knows, I should make some moves, otherwise I will be rectified by Concubine Xiao one day.
