Chapter 220 Unconsciously, actions have been taken
In the Buddhist hall in the apse of Ci'an Palace, the strong smell of sandalwood is coiled between the black columns and green mantles, and the room is so quiet that the sound of burning incense is audible.
Ru aunt saw the maid in a blue jacket and green brocade skirt coming down, and her pace was slightly flustered. She looked at the big queen who was closing her eyes and holding beads in front of the Buddha. She was concentrating on chanting the Buddhist scriptures. She quickly waved her hand to the maid of honor, walked out lightly, and bypassed the corridor before asking, "But the Third Highness has returned to the palace?"
"Yes, but His Royal Highness is still in the imperial study." The maid of honor also said, "Today, Concubine Li summoned Princess Fu to the palace. Somehow, she punished the princess to kneel in front of the hall. It has been half an hour."
If the aunt frowned, after the first month, the concubine Li did not know what evil fire had. She frequently summoned Princess Fu into the palace and put on the prestige of "mother-law". The empress dowager was afraid that the princess would be wronged and asked repeatedly. Princess Fu only said that the concubine Li was concerned about King Fu and did not complain. What is the reason today?
Because she knew that the Empress Dowager was very concerned about this matter, for example, her aunt did not dare to hide it and turned back into the Buddhist hall.
The Empress Dowager seemed to know that she had gone out. She had stopped silently, put her hands together, and after kowtopping, she was able to help her up. When she heard that Li concubine punished Yichen to kneel in front of the hall and snorted coldly, "Since she had Liulang, she still paid attention to Erlang's good? Even the side concubine's affairs were entrusted to the queen. At this time, the prestige of 'mother' was reversed, but Chen'er was aggrieved, which made it difficult for her. You send someone to invite Chen'er to Ci'an Palace and say that I want to talk to her.
If my aunt answered, she still let the maid who had just sent the message go this trip. Seeing that the empress dowager went to the side hall, she was busy preparing charcoal pots and hot tea.
Not long after, Yichen followed the maid of honor to the Ci'an Palace, but what made Aunt Ru frown was that the concubine Li actually accompanied her like a shadow. It seemed that nothing had happened, and her eyebrows were flying and quite beautiful.
Because King Fu was originally raised by Concubine Li for a while, it is also written on the family tree jade disc that she is also the son of Concubine Li. In terms, she is called the mother of Concubine Li. As a daughter-in-law, she was punished by the "mother-in-law" and even the queen is not easy to intervene. Although the Empress Dowager is an elder, it is not good to "blame" the Concubine Li on the surface.
Li Concubine didn't care about it.
Yichen will not have any complaints. After Li's concubine, she is still polite.
Ru aunt looked distressed and secretly helped Yichen and asked two steps behind: "Is the princess all right?"
"Aunt Lao is worried." Yichen's smile was a little reluctant.
It was not until this time that Aunt Fang noticed the maid who followed her. She seemed to be happy and looked forward to shine, but she was the Qiongyi used by the concubine. She used to be cautious, but today she was a little forgetful and walked into the side hall.
"Mother, stay." For example, my aunt took a look at Qiongyi and ignored her. She only said to Concubine Li, "Long Nu's maidservant told me."
Concubine Li raised her eyebrows and said, "Why, didn't the Empress Dowager summon the concubine?"
"The empress dowager summoned Princess Fu." If the aunt answers steadily, she is the maid in charge of Ci'an Palace, and she is extremely important. Even the queen has to be polite to her and will not pay attention to Concubine Li.
"Please, princess." If the aunt also ignored the resentment of the concubine, she gave in slightly.
Yichen felt a little embarrassed and knew that Concubine Li would "hate" her more and more, but this was in Ci'an Palace. Naturally, he had to follow the rules and not speak lightly, and he had to "hang" Li's concubine outside and followed Ru's instructions to the warm hall on the east side.
However, there has been an uninvited concubine of honor for a long time. The empress dowager is holding her anger and doesn't wait for her aunt to speak, just said, "Let her wait first. This is Ci'an Palace. Who do you want to see? But with freedom, does she still know palace rules and etiquette?"
Yichen's footsteps were slightly sluggish. Looking at the Empress Dowager, she was a little hesitant.
When the Empress Dowager saw her aunt go out, she waved the maid of honor again, which made beautiful scenery come forward and gave her a brocade to sit at the bottom: "I know that your child is steady and polite. Although you have grievances in your heart, you are also tolerant... At present, there is no one else. Let's talk about what happened these days? Let Li General attention? Today, she found another reason to let a princess kneel in front of the hall.
Seeing that the empress dowager was really angry, Yichen felt a burst of fear in his heart. He was not sure what to say, but he did not dare to be as perfunctory as the previous times. After thinking for a while, he stood up and reported, "The Empress was angry... The mother-in-law also listened to some gossip, out of concern for her concubines... Because the prince did not accept the side concubine, the nobles seemed to There was a lot of discussion. The mother-in-concubine knew that the concubine was not so virtuous and persuaded her to take the initiative to accept the concubine for the prince, but the prince was stubborn... The mother-in-law was also worried about the power of the concubine alone. In addition to being in charge of the housekeeper, she had some negligence in the prince, so she said that she wanted to give the concubine a helper, but she was afraid that the prince would not like it. She hesitated, and the mother-in-in-law punished Concubine."
It's inexplicable!
The Empress Dowager rubbed her eyebrows - Concubine Li didn't care about the side concubine of King Fu at first, but at this time she began to care about it. She was afraid that there were some strange things in it, and she didn't know who instigated trouble in front of her!
Waiting to ask in detail, but he also knew the difficulties of beautiful Chen, so he held it down and let Concubine Li in.
Concubine Li waited a little impatiently outside the hall, and the expectant Qiongyi was even more uneasily. When she heard the summons, the Empress Dowager sneered at her aunt, stroked the gorgeous golden begonia embroidered skirt on her body, straightened the silver-hooked skirt, and said to Qiongyi graceily, "It turned out to be your happy event. And join me and ask the Empress for a reward.
According to the ceremony, the concubines met the empress dowager, and the maids around her had to wait outside the hall. Since the concubine had already said something, it was not easy for her aunt to stop her. Qiongyi happily responded to the promise and stepped on a jubilant pace into the warm hall.
Arrogant and rude——
As my aunt secretly, she still waited quietly outside the hall.
In the warm hall, the Empress Dowager has called Yichen and is opening a picture scroll to enjoy together, commenting on the artistic conception of pen and ink, not looking at the blessing of the concubine's flowers and branches, and even ignores the worried and looking forward to Qiongyi.
Still, Jin Chen reminded: "Mother, the mother and concubine have arrived."
The Empress Dowager raised her eyelids and shouted lazily to sit down.
Yi Chen hurried to the next head and stood beside Concubine. Qiong Yi could not hear the joy or anger in the voice of the Empress Dowager, and did not dare to raise her eyes to look at it, so she had to take a step back and stand behind Yichen.
"What kind of rumors do the nobles have that make you pay attention to Erlang?" The Empress Dowager held up the teacup and still didn't look at the concubine.
Concubine Li took a look at Ye Chen and showed it in her heart - what if she is the direct daughter of Duke Wei? After all, if she is married to the prince, she can't escape the etiquette. No matter how much she loves her after the Empress Dowager, she can't love her own grandson, can she? From this beginning, the next topic is easy.
He said sweetly, "I don't know who was so jealous that he talked about A Chen. What's the power of the government and the love between the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager? How jealous and virtuous he is, and he can't tolerate the blessing king's side concubine to enter the house. However, when the concubine thinks of it, people's words are terrible, and there is also a reason that the etiquette and law are not invalid..."
"Since you know that it's some rumors and dirty words, you should investigate those who spread the words. Why do you punish Chen'er instead?" The Empress Dowager put the tea cup on the case, and then looked at Concubine Li: "The mourning family looked at Chen'er. How clear her temperament is. Erlang doesn't want to accept the concubine. It's her own intention. Begging to ignore even the emperor in front of the mourning family and the queen. You know the principle of etiquette than us."
As soon as she heard this, Concubine couldn't sit still. She hurriedly got up and complained for a long time. She thought that the daughter-in-law was a stuffy gourd and honest. Unexpectedly, she dared to complain in front of the empress dowager. She quickly said, "It was the concubine who was impatient. Originally, because of today's mention, she wanted to add a helper to Chen, so as to block that. Some malicious people said... The Qiongyi around the concubine is the most safe to use. Although the concubine can't leave her, she is old enough, and it's not good to delay her life... Madam, A Chen wants to be in charge of all the royal palace, and one person will always be a little negligent. If there are many useful people around her, she will not care about this and lose the other, and the concubine also Knowing that because Liulang was young, he didn't take good care of Erlang in those years. At least he called me a mother, and he should have planned for him.
Although it is unreasonable on the surface, it is a little strong after all - as the nominal mother of King Fu, it is reasonable to care about her son's family affairs. As a grandmother, the Empress Dowager is not good for her granddaughter-in-law, but ignore her grandson. As a prince, how can she only have a wife?
Concubine Li has made up her mind for a long time and will not be soft.
The Empress Dowager raised her eyebrows and glanced at Qiongyi. She didn't even see her appearance clearly, so she withdrew her eyes: "You can do this, and it's not for Erlang to call you a mother concubine."
When Concubine Li heard this, she was about to make Qiongyi kowtow. She thanked the Empress Dowager's grace, but she heard the Empress Dowager say, "Only you add a helper to Achen. From then on, she has been the slave of the royal palace. I don't know what the maid of honor is?"
A slave? Concubine Li was shocked, and her joy immediately turned into unwillingness: "Qionyi was originally the daughter of a concubine's wet nurse... Madam, Erlang is a prince after all. It's not good that there is only one imperial concubine. The meaning of the concubine is to let Qiongyi be a side concubine, so that she can also gag those people's mouth."
"Concubine Li, how many years have you been in the palace?"
Concubine Li:......
"It's in vain for you to keep your mouth shut up from the etiquette. I'm sorry to ask you, a maid of honor from a slave maid is also qualified to be the prince's side concubine? Even if the mourning family is confused for a moment and agrees on your face, the Ministry of Ceremonies and the Zongrenfu will not agree. Where do you put the royal style? The mourning family understands your 'kind mother' heart, and Chen'er is also a good child who is polite and modest. She will not disobey your kindness. This maid of honor is not only given by you, but also allows her to have a future. As long as she assists the princess well, if she is predestined to get a child in the future, then discuss the position.
It is true that the empress dowager also has difficulties. On the one hand, it is not easy to prevent the Empress from giving the palace to the palace on the surface. It really seems that she ignores her grandson and "helps" Yichen. On the other hand, she also takes into account those gossips and blocks those gossips with Qiongyi. As for whether Qiongyi has a "fate method" Whether you will be blamed for making mistakes in the future depends on how beautiful Chen will be.
Yichen is also a royal daughter-in-law after all. If such a palace without a position is not "arranged" well, life will not go well in the future.
Yichen, who originally refused to include Qiongyi as a side concubine today was also because she felt that this was too ridiculous and not jealous, but she could not say that Concubine Li ignored the etiquette, so she had to propose to discuss with the King of Fu first. Unexpectedly, Concubine Li got angry and denounced her for being virtuous and unfilial, and was punished for kneeling. Later, she was worried. The empress dowager punished the concubine for this matter, and it would be more difficult to get along with this "mother concubine" in the future. At this time, she listened to the empress dowager's treatment, but she was relieved and quickly came forward to thank her.
The purpose of Wei Li's concubine's embarrassment failed. Bai Bai also folded a confidant and went to the royal palace as a slave. She almost flattened the back tooth socket, but the empress dowager's disposal was fair and reasonable, and she did not dare to question it again. After returning to her palace, she couldn't help cursing: "The Empress Dowager should be really biased."
On the contrary, Qiongyi advised: "The Empress tried her best for the slave, and the maidservant felt five times, but the slave maidservant was born humble and did not dare to think about the position, but the Empress was relieved. According to this, the slave and maidservant also had a chance to help the Empress in planning." Instead, he cleaned up happily, went to the Palace Affairs Bureau to hand over the procedures, and followed Yichen back to the Fuwang Mansion.
Concubine Li also has a right arm, called Xueyi, which is also a comforting: "Your mother is at ease. Originally, it doesn't matter whether the King of Fu has a side concubine or not. Besides, Qiong Yi looks more beautiful than Princess Fu, and she will be favored in the future. You just want to add some difficulties to the princess and not let her go so smoothly. After this experience Even the Empress Dowager is relieved. The princess must know that what she relies on is not very safe. In the future, she will not listen to your instructions, and the marriage of His Royal Highness is also promising.
When Concubine Li thought about it, it was also true. If Qiongyi was favored by King Fu, she would not rely on her "mother concubine" in the future. How could she dare not to set up the marriage between Su Wuniang and the sixth prince?
I immediately became happy again, and I didn't know that I had been tricked by others.
