183, situation(1/2)
Yongshou Palace
"What did you say? The Empress Dowager actually enthroned that girl as a princess?" Concubine De was sitting on the collapse, supporting her body, her eyes full of incredibleness, and then she sneered again, "This Wei Shi is really capable. She boarded the Empress Dowager's ship so quickly, and she was so arrogant as soon as she came back."
"Empress, so what if it's a princess? The empress now has the only prince of the emperor, with a noble status. Besides, the Wei family is still a thorn in the emperor's eyes and a thorn in the flesh. The more this happens, the more the emperor can't tolerate the Wei family."
Wen Qiyan put one hand on the table and leaned forward halfway, "The only bond is Wei Baixiao, the traitor in Qingcheng. Once Wei Baixiao is captured, what will happen to the Wei family?"
"Mrs. What the lady said is, why should I surrender my identity and beg for a dying person?" Concubine De curled her lips and sneered, and slowly stood up, "Let's go and see this new princess too. She has disappeared for more than a year, so she should go and congratulate her."
Wen Qiyan subconsciously frowned. Concubine De was in charge of the harem and had a prince around her. There was no need to go to find Wei Shi to rush to find him. He really lost his identity.
But seeing Concubine De's attitude was so impatient to show off. Wen Qiyan swallowed her throat and swallowed her words back when she reached her mouth.
"Yu Lian, go back up the gift."
The palace maid named Yulian nodded immediately, "Yes, I will prepare now."
Before one foot could be stepped out of the palace gate, the palace maid reported that it was Princess Chaohua who went to Huichun Palace to pay homage. Concubine De stood on the threshold, her brows frowned so hard that she could tie a knot, "Have you gone to Huichun Palace?"
The Chunhuang Imperial Concubine who returned to the Spring Palace has been recuperating in the palace for the past year and stayed in the door. She rarely interfered in everything in the harem and restrained her sharpness. It was very different from previous years. Gradually, the Emperor of Nanliang rarely went to the Spring Palace, and most of them came to Yongshou Palace.
"What's the point of looking at an old woman?" Concubine De said angrily.
"Empress calms down. Wei Jing has always been unnatural. Others may not be able to guess what she thinks. Empress is now the lord of the harem. Wei Jing will come to pay homage to Empress sooner or later. Empress is better patiently than to wait." Wen Qiyan said.
Concubine De pursed her lips and took her back, "That's right, why should I give her face? I have no need to polite her!"
"What the Empress said is very much."
...
Wei Ji stood in the Huichun Palace for half an hour and came out to greet Feiyu. "I wish the princess a blessing. The queen has woken up after lunch break. Please come in."
Wei Gui glanced at Feiyu, quickly withdrew his gaze and nodded. Returning to the sequel was not as lively as before, less luxurious and atmospheric, much more low-key, and there were orchids everywhere in the yard.
A woman stood in the yard, holding scissors in her hand and was trimming the branches. When she looked closely, she was just a pure imperial concubine.
I took off my gorgeous palace skirt and only wore a light-colored skirt embroidered with flowers. There were only a few beads on my hair, no longer the elegance and beauty of the past, and more gentle and casual.
"Empress, the princess is here."
After hearing this, the imperial concubine Chun put down her scissors, took the clean towel handed over by Feiyu, gently wiped the back of her hand, her eyes slanted and she glanced at Wei Jing.
"Chaohua greets the Empress." Wei Jing bent his knees.
The Chunhuang Imperial Concubine chuckled, "You adapt very quickly, don't be too polite, just sit down."
"Thank you, Empress."
"You know that I don't like you, why do you come back and forth to pay your respects to the erotic palace? How do you know that I will see you?"
Wei Jing smiled at the imperial concubine Chun, "Because Chaohua and Empress said a year ago that the Empress has retired to the harem and has made a choice. Chaohua and Empress are now on the same boat."
From the moment when Concubine Chun opened the door to summon Wei Jing, the two families were already tied together. Concubine Chun did not deny it. She reached out to hold a cup of flower tea, took a sip and moistened her throat.
"Wei Shi, it's no wonder that the emperor and the queen mother value you, and only you can be at ease in the imperial power. I remember that the queen mother wanted to kill you before, but now she enthroned you as a princess, which is ridiculous."
The tone of the Imperial Concubine Chun was a little sarcastic, but Wei Shi was not angry when she heard it. "The situation is hard to explain for a while. Who knows what will happen in the future? The Empress is better than Chaohua imagined."
I have taken the power out of my mind, been indifferent to my favor, and lived my life with my whole heart behind closed doors, planting flowers and raising fish, and without so many worries, it may not be a good thing.
"If someone touches the Wei family one day..."
Before the Chunhuang Concubine finished speaking, the smile on Wei Gui's face was restrained, "If someone touched the Wei family, I would definitely do everything I could torture Nanliang!"
"You dare to say anything!" Concubine Chun Huang glanced at Wei Ji with annoyance, with a plain look on his face. "If it weren't for the passing of one after another, I'm still in the fog. I've been awake a lot this year. If there is no family, the favor is just a passing cloud. So what if I ascend to the throne?"
The situation of the Shangguan family and the Wei family is very similar. In this year, the Emperor of Southern Liang gradually withdrew the power of the Shangguan family and confiscated the military power in his hands, making the imperial concubine Chunxin feel cold and accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. It is true.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Chun asked again, "I only have one sentence to ask you, you must answer truthfully."
"Chaohua must have said everything."
"Why can't I be pregnant for a long time? Is Gu Lufu's child the emperor?"
This is a knot of the pure imperial concubine. Wei Jing paused and said for a long time, "The six palaces are not pregnant, but because of the empresses, the emperor took medicine. Moreover, the empresses above the concubines had some herbs in the palace. If they were not cleaned up, they would never be able to get pregnant."
The Pure Imperial Concubine also speculated in private that when the truth was placed in front of her, it was another matter.
"I... I'm also put in my palace?" The voice of the Chunhuang Imperial Concubine trembled, as if she couldn't believe it.
Wei Jing nodded.
The Pure Imperial Concubine didn't believe it, Wei Jing pointed to the glazed tiles, "The tiles were renovated once a year, and they were soaked in herbs. During the rainy season, the effects of the medicine will penetrate. If you smell it too many times, it will be difficult to get pregnant. Even if you get pregnant, you will sooner or later miscarriage."
The pure imperial concubine suddenly turned white, staring at Liuliwa tightly, her throat tightly, her body trembled, and she suddenly laughed, "It's really hard to sit firmly on the throne."
In order to get pregnant, Concubine Chun Huang didn't know how much medicine she took in private. After every time she served in bed, she was nervous and expectant. After another pulse, she was disappointed after taking the pulse for a whole ten years. Concubine Chun Huang Huang's fingertips into her palm.
The imperial concubine Chun was not allowed to be pregnant. She was guarding against the Shangguan family. It started when she entered the palace, and the imperial concubine Chun was the last bit of expectation turned into a bubble.
"Wei Jing!" Concubine Chun suddenly shouted, staring at Wei Jing with deep ink eyes, "If you have a day to go to this palace, even if you speak, I only hope that one day the Wei family can help the Shangguan family, and the Shangguan family is implicated by this palace."
It was because she didn't know the people clearly, and she went against the Shangguan Mansion's intentions again and again, and mistakenly believed in the emperor.
Wei Jing nodded, "Wei Jing was unforgettable to save the Empress. If one day he would definitely protect the Shangguan family!"
The Imperial Concubine Chun nodded and waved at Wei Jing, "You go, I'm in a state of exhaustion."
After leaving the Spring Palace, Wei Jing felt a little complicated. Imperial power is a good thing. How many people flock to it, but how many people have to sacrifice to get it?
The next day
Liu Ya said, "Princess, the imperial concubine Chun was demoted to Shangguan Guiren last night."
Wei Gui was copying scriptures. He heard this and paused his pen. After a while, he started copying again. He only said lightly, and there was nothing else.
This was deliberately made by Emperor Nanliang for Wei Jing.
Wei Jing is waiting.
Lunch was used with Empress Dowager Zhaoming. After careful examination, it was only after confirming that it was correct.
Wei Jing had a small appetite, so he only ate half a bowl and put down his chopsticks.
"Is it because of the matter of Shangguan Guiren lost his appetite?" Empress Dowager Zhaoming glanced at Wei Jing.
"Maybe Chaohua shouldn't have gone to find Shangguan Guiren yesterday."
Empress Dowager Zhaoming smiled and didn't care much, "It's better to her, either the imperial concubine or the noble lady. It's no longer important to her. The emperor's thoughts are not something that everyone can understand. Maybe the next time it will be a glass of intestinal poisonous wine."
Wei Jing clenched his fingertips tightly, and was stunned.
"If you can't ruin your body, be calm. Even if you don't go yesterday, the fate of Shangguan Guiren will be sooner or later. The emperor's suspicion has nothing to do with you. If you don't believe it, you will go to Yongshou Palace to visit today. Concubine De has always wanted to see you these days."
Empress Dowager Zhaoming's appetite was not affected. As usual, she ate whatever she should eat, and even her tone did not change much.
"Chaohua listens to the queen of her mother."
After lunch, Wei Jing really went to Yongshou Palace to visit. The day before yesterday, he planned to meet Wei Jing's Concubine De. After Concubine Chun was demoted yesterday, he stopped thinking, so how could he dare to see anyone?
"Let's go back, just say that I am unwell and it is inconvenient to see others. I told the princess not to come again." Concubine De frowned and regarded Wei Gui as a disaster star.
Wei Zhi was not surprised at all. He returned to Cihe Palace after being rejected. Empress Dowager Zhaoming seemed to have known the result.
"At the beginning, the Ai family did not believe that the Imperial Concubine De could be the queen. No matter how phoenix life was, it was absurd words, but now it believes 80% of them." said Empress Dowager Zhaoming.
Wei Jing was in a daze and remembered that when he was planning to conceive Concubine De, he let Concubine De bear the Fengsheng's life.
"What the mother's meaning is to add fuel to the fire and let Concubine De be the queen?"
"Not only that, we must also enthrone the little prince as the crown prince. The mother is noble by her son, and the little prince occupies the word "elderly eldest". The emperor has no reason not to enthrone the little prince."
Wei Zhi suddenly had delicate sweat in his palms. I hope he didn't think much about it. The prince had a chance. If the Emperor of Nanliang encounters an accident in the future, the little prince would be the only heir. The little prince is still young and doesn't know anything. It's not the other person who decides how to deal with it.
"What do Chaohua think?" Empress Dowager Zhaoming asked again.
Wei Jing came back to his senses, "Listen to the arrangements of the queen mother."
A few days later, many ministers in the court submitted a memorial, asking Emperor Nanliang to confer the title of Concubine De as the Empress, and the harem should not be without a master for a day, and the country should not be without a reserve for a day. For the sake of the country, Emperor Nanliang requested Emperor Nanliang to confer the title of Concubine as the crown prince.
...
Concubine De's eyelids were pounding violently, "Why did the court suddenly have this idea and make me the queen?"
"Empress, now only the Empress in the harem gave birth to a little prince. Looking at the harem, only the Empress in the harem is in a high position, and the position of the Empress has been empty for a long time. If the Empress in the harem is in the harem, it is worthy of it!" Yu Lian said.
Concubine De was very happy and suddenly remembered the signature a year ago. What the master said was indeed good. Feng Ming, she was destined to be extraordinary since she was born.
Then Yu Lian said, "When Shangguan Guiren was still a concubine, his lower abdomen had not yet bulged. The emperor asked the six ministries to plan to enthrone Shangguan Guiren as queen. However, the child was not saved and missed the enemy. Now the little prince is smart and lively. The emperor likes the little prince so much. The mother is noble by her son. Who can deserve that position except the empress?"
After saying this, Concubine De was overjoyed and very happy. "That's right, who can sit in that position except me?"
"Congratulations to you, I."
Several palace maids knelt on the ground to congratulate him. Concubine De was in a good mood. She waved her hand and said, "Everyone can reward you!"
"Thank you, I, my servant!" Yulian said happily.
In the afternoon, Concubine De took supplements to visit Emperor Nanliang, but unfortunately she didn't even see anyone, saying that she was very busy with official business.
Concubine De raised the corner of her lips and wanted to ask for something, but the father-in-law at the gate had a very tight mouth and did not reveal a word. Concubine De had to go back.
I met Wei Jing by chance halfway.
