Chapter 08, the prince of plotting
The Queen Mother was silent, Xia Guifei had been in the palace for five years, but she was still not pregnant, so she promoted the tea maid Wu in her palace.
It was also this Wu family's belly that was angry, and she became pregnant within a few months of serving the emperor, and gave birth to four princes.
But the Wu family is too competitive, and this Xia Guifei is unhappy.
The Queen Mother said lightly: "Look, this palace maid in your palace is too eye-catching, if you find an excuse to send it away, it will save you embarrassment." β
Wei Jiashu's little heart jumped violently, numb, she didn't do anything wrong, why did she want to get rid of her?
Concubine Shunkang whispered: "But this Jiashu has been diligent and loyal since he went to Shouyi Palace, and he has not shirked his dirty work. β
Wei Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, this concubine is a conscientious person.
After a few words, Concubine Shunkang saw that the queen was tired, so she hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
The Shishou Palace under the twilight is particularly quiet, and the two pots of peonies under the corridor have slowly revealed their fragrance.
Wei Jiashu asked cautiously: "Concubine Niangniang...... You, really won't give away slaves and maidservants? β
Concubine Shunkang snorted lightly: "Don't worry, this time the Queen Mother, if Concubine Xia doesn't have this thought, it would be better, if she has this heart, the Queen Mother will beat her!" β
Wei Jiashu whispered: "But the slave maid heard that since the death of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager has never interfered in the affairs of the Sixth Palace. β
Concubine Shunkang looked at the sunset in the sky and said softly: "Concubine Xia is flamboyant, and the Queen Mother has long been dissatisfied. It's just that because she is the niece of the Empress Dowager Jing'an, the Empress Dowager has to be more tolerant in order to avoid hurting the mother-son relationship. β
Empress Dowager Jing'an was originally the first emperor Jing Concubine, because her son was made the crown prince and her mother was expensive by virtue of her son, she was crowned Jing Guifei. But Concubine Jing was frail and sickly, and died before her son ascended the throne. This is also Emperor Tianze's biggest regret.
And the current queen mother has neither kindness nor even kindness to the emperor.
That's why we have to be more careful about managing the relationship between mother and son.
Wei Jiashu said: "In this way, the Queen Mother should turn a blind eye to Xia Guifei." β
Concubine Shunkang smiled: "If the concubine breaks the rules first, the queen mother, as a mother-in-law, can't she still be trained?" What's more, over the years, the emperor's favor for the concubine has long been much worse than before, and the partial concubine still doesn't know how to restrain it. β
Wei Jiashu understood that the Queen Mother tolerated Xia Guifei's publicity, and waited for the emperor's patience and affection for her to wear off little by little.
This queen mother is very tolerant and wise.
In this way, you just have to wait coldly to see if Xia Guifei will really make such a rude act as Concubine Mi.
In a blink of an eye, the two pots of peonies under the corridor have bloomed red and purple, and they are extremely magnificent.
On this occasion, Chen Si, the eunuch who was responsible for taking care of the flowers and trees in the Xia Guifei Palace, visited the Shouyi Palace, and the eunuch slammed his head with a bitter face, "It's all because the slaves are useless, the concubine Niangniang's beloved pot of Yao Huang Peony is actually gone, the concubine is distressed and angry, and the gardener in the flower room has been busy for a few days, and it is not good." It just so happened that the concubine heard that there is a palace person here who is very good at taking care of flowers and trees......"
That Chen Si nagged like this, and it was Wei Jiashu's idea!
Concubine Shunkang looked kind: "Where are there any palace people here in this palace who are good at taking care of flowers and trees?" Some are just a few rough girls, not to mention that there is nothing to be done about the flower room, what can the rough girls here in this palace do? I'm afraid the concubine is asking for the wrong place. β
The eunuch Chen Si immediately cried, "Ask the concubine to be gracious and let go, otherwise the slave will not be able to explain to the concubine!" β
Well, I actually sold a bitter meat trick.
Concubine Shunkang's kind face was almost unmaintainable, and she couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes, that concubine at least knew that she would come to ask for it in person, this concubine, just send a slave to ask for someone? Is it true that she is a dead person?!
Concubine Shunkang's tone suddenly became a little cold: "You dog slave, did you bully the head of the palace because you have no children and no daughters?!" β
The eunuch Chen Si shrunk his neck, "The slave doesn't dare!" The slave is just on the order of the noble concubine Niangniang......"
"Could it be that the concubine asked you to come here to cry and make trouble, disturbing the peace of the palace?!" Concubine Shunkang's tone was a little heavier.
How dare Chen Si respond to this, he had to kowtow again and again: "The concubine has no such intention, and the slave has no such intention!" β
Concubine Shunkang snorted, "Since you don't have that intention, don't get out of here!" β
Chen Si had to roll out of the Shouyi Palace with a disgraced face.
Concubine Shunkang's face was extremely stinky, "What a Xia Guifei!" β
Wei Jiashu couldn't help but sigh, how could she be a maid of the Flower Palace by the side of the concubine, how could she attract the concubine for no reason, and even attract the covetousness of the concubine? !
She doesn't do anything conspicuous on weekdays!
How can you be targeted?!
Qianqing Palace Pantry.
When Jiang Yongfu heard the latest news, his brows were so furrowed that he could kill flies, and even Xia Guifei returned with a feather? This Concubine Shunkang, this temper, how can it be better than back then!
"Looks like we're going to have to think about it in the long run." Jiang Yongfu sighed, he didn't even do this little thing for Long Live Lord, how could this be good!
At the same time, the sound of porcelain breaking came from the main hall of Chang'an Palace.
The eunuch Chen Si knelt on the ground and added oil and vinegar: "This Concubine Shunkang is so majestic, the slave begged hard, but she learned a good lesson!" β
Xia Guifei was angry: "She, a surviving person with no children and no daughters, dares to brush the face of the palace like this?!" The benefits of this palace are not so easy to take! β
Xia Guifei's nursing mother, Dexin, couldn't help but say: "Master, she is a concubine, if she gives you the beautiful palace maid around her, won't she help you compete for favor?" She is the concubine of the first emperor, how can there be any reason to meddle in the harem today? Forgive the slave and maid for saying bluntly, why do you have to ask for the people in the concubine's palace? β
Xia Guifei frowned, "My hands are full of crooked melons and cracked dates now, even the Wu family is not as good!" If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't find oneβ"
Mama Dexin comforted: "Master, you are a noble concubine, so you don't have to do these things. β
Xia Guifei was silent for a moment, and she said to the rest of the palace with a straight face: "You all retreat!" β
After Chen Si and the others withdrew, Xia Guifei couldn't help but show an aggrieved look, "Mama! I don't want to stuff the palace maid into my cousin's bed! But over the years, the emperor's cousin has become more and more cold to me, and even his kindness to the Wu family is above me! How can I bear this?! β
Mama Dexin hurriedly held the hand of the concubine and said kindly: "The Wu family gave birth to the fourth prince, and he is just a beauty, but you are the concubine, you compare yourself with her, and you don't have to despise yourself!" The emperor favors her, but only temporarily, when she is old and decrepit, or she is selected as a show, and she is promoted to a newcomer, she will have nothing to do. β
Xia Guifei was so aggrieved that her eyes turned red, "But I don't even have a son and a half daughter, one day, I'm afraid it will be the bleak situation of Concubine Shunkang!" β
Mama Dexin hurriedly said: "No, you are the niece of the Empress Dowager Jing'an and the emperor's cousin." What's more, you are still young, and you will definitely have children in the future. β
As she spoke, Mama Dexin was busy wiping away her tears for Concubine Xia gently.
Xia Guifei snorted, aggrieved like a child, "I have been in the palace for five years, I don't know how much bitter medicine I have drunk, but I have not had half a cent of good news, even my cousin has no hope for me, I am afraid that I will not have this blessing in my life!" β
As soon as Xia Guifei thought of this, she burst into tears, and thought that even the Wu family had a prince, and one day, the Wu family would at least be able to go to the palace to raise her husband for a long time, and she ...... I'm afraid that even the Wu family is not as good!
Son!
Just because the Wu family gave birth to four princes, even the emperor spoiled her a little more!
Xia Guifei bit her lip, "Fourth Prince...... I just turned one year old, and I don't remember yet. Mama, can you plan for me? β
