Chapter 283 Fate telling

The spacious palace is covered with layers of curtains, and the gorgeous incense and calligraphy and paintings are not all full of artistic mood. The most common here is intrigue, which is no different from the aunts and ladies in the market. Concubine Wang turned a deaf ear to her son's persuasion, and still showed anger and dissatisfaction in front of the personal palace servants.

At this time, a woman in a long skirt next to her spoke, "Why not tell the misfortune of the man and woman to Your Majesty that she can have a better life."

After hearing this, Concubine Wang imagined the misfortune of the queen's fall from favor and showed pleasure, but she soon returned to reality: "This matter is hard because there is no real evidence. The queen has the support of the King of Jin, so she is afraid that she will lose a handful of rice if she fails to steal the chicken."

The woman who made the suggestion was someone who had been with Concubine Wang for a long time. Now, in addition to serving the Concubine, she also became a female official in Shangyi Bureau because of her favor. She also had a certain status in the palace. Her status in front of everyone came from the Concubine, so she naturally tried her best to make suggestions for it: "The King of Jin curled with Empress Gao, but because she was the queen. If she was not the queen, would the King of Jin still care about her? What are the benefits?"

When Concubine Wang lowered her head and thought, the woman said again: "Empress Gao has always been on guard against the prince's position. I don't know how to harm us behind the scenes. We keep giving in, but instead make others feel that we are easy to bully. When the Empress meets His Majesty, there is no need to explain it too clearly. As long as she mentions that matter in ambiguous way, the more unclear the matter, the more people will doubt it... No matter who feels that she will feel that she will wear that hat, it will definitely not be a good idea. As long as His Majesty resents Empress Gao, will it be easier to do anything in the future?"

Concubine Wang looked a little cautious, and immediately stopped complaining, still thinking about the pros and cons, "You are right. If Gao is not favored and has never given birth to the Li family's blood, why should I fight with me? This vixen is really hateful. Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

When the woman on the side saw that Concubine Wang adopted her trick, she excitedly gave her advice, "The Empress will mention that matter with Your Majesty a little... In a few days, it will be the 20th day of the first lunar month. Your Majesty will formally issue an edict to enthrone Your Highness as the crown prince, and then hold a banquet in Linde Hall. The royal relatives, nobles, civil and military ministers and people in the palace will participate. Empress Gao and King Jin will definitely go. At that time, you will remind Your Majesty that two of you will be suspicious."

After hearing this, Concubine Wang said happily: "This is good! I didn't wrongly accused them of stealing people, and could not catch my handle, and it could have an effect. Humph, I just wanted to see, that woman could look at the roof with her eyes for a few days!"

During dinner, I have the opportunity to meet Brother Fen. Brother Fen is the most popular and does not miss any entertainment opportunities. He holds a small banquet every night to gather important wives and concubines to have dinner together and let the palace prostitutes sing and dance to cheer them up. Whoever is beautiful will be called to sleep. Tonight is no exception. Concubine Wang, Empress Gao and others sit together to accompany Brother Fen to lively.

Now the palace and court are full of factions, which are so complicated that many people are worried. However, Brother Fen on the throne is the most open-minded. He is so happy to see those exposed singing prostitutes twisting away. He is so happy to see those exposed singing prostitutes... When he was the governor of Youzhou, he could only marry dozens of wives, and there was not much room for choice in the financial situation, so he couldn't afford to support him even if he was like that. Now that he became an emperor, there are not only three thousand beauties in the Daming Palace, but there are tens of thousands of young women here. He asks people to dance and pick people every night. Those wives were idle long ago, and it was really just like this when he was a god.

The delicacies were all over the place, and the beauties were full of seductive spring smiles. Brother Fen would be so happy that he stretched out his legs and waved his hands. His pride was like a complete fool.

After having enough food and drink, Brother Fen waved his hand. When the eunuch who was standing was standing came over, he pointed to a beautiful singing girl and said quietly. The eunuch nodded and kept saying, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty. I understand."

As the dinner was coming to an end, musicians and singers dispersed one after another, followed by refreshments after meals. The palace people removed the messy cups and plates on each table and replaced them with tea and small sausage and other refreshments.

At this time, the palace became quieter, and Concubine Wang took the opportunity to speak and said to Gao, who was sitting opposite him, "I heard that the queen and King Jin went to Chengxiang Palace to see Princess Taiping today. Is her illness better?"

Brother Fen is right between the two, so you can naturally hear it. In fact, Concubine Wang said it to him.

Gao turned his head slowly and said without changing his face: "I still haven't woken up like that."

Concubine Wang showed a sneer, and she didn't like Gao's indifference. How could she pretend to be noble?

Although Gao is named the lord of the harem and has the highest status, because she is young, women like Concubine Wang who have been with Brother Fen for decades naturally do not have much awe of her. The bridge I crossed is more paths than you. This is probably because Gao always wears that kind of old and steady luxury dress and dresses like that. If she dresses herself in a delicate manner, she may not be able to suppress others.

Originally, Concubine Wang’s original plan was just a little mention tonight and laying the groundwork. She was not in a hurry to let Brother Fen understand their affair immediately. However, when she saw Gao’s pretending to be a thousand miles away, she felt angry. She couldn’t help but say a few more words, deliberately laughing in a joking tone: “I heard that the Queen and King Jin kept talking for a long time, I wonder what you said?”

Gao's face changed slightly, and he paused for a while before slowly saying: "Who did Concubine Wang say anything? Why did I close the door? Besides, there are palace servants next to him. But what else can I say about Princess Taiping's condition? What else can I say about it besides that? What else can I say with the King of Jin?"

Concubine Wang pointed to the opposite door with a cold smile and said, "Of course there is no need to close the palace. Besides, aren't the slaves around the queen all yours? What dare they say?"

Gao frowned and said coldly: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Concubine Wang smiled and said, "No, I'm just chatting, curious about what the queen said to the King of Jin, don't worry."

Gao immediately shouted: "Come here, call in the few people who came to Chengxiang Palace with me in the morning!"

It’s time to say this, Brother Fen should understand what the two women have to do. Unexpectedly, Brother Fen said, “What are you quarrels about? Let’s have a meal for the whole family, don’t make it more like a court. Women are really troublesome!”

Gao said angrily: "It's better to ask someone to ask in person, so as not to feel uncomfortable when you talk."

Concubine Wang was also angry and said angrily: "Who are you talking about gossip? What did I say wrong, or did I make a fuss out of nothing? Didn't the Queen and King Jin stayed in Chengxiang Palace until noon before returning? Your Majesty, you are giving me a comment, what did I say wrong?"

Brother Fen was not only not angry at this time, but was timid. Perhaps because of Princess Taiping, he was very awe of this aunt who underestimated him and took the throne. He did not comment, but instead said kindly: "Princess Taiping is my elder, and it is okay for the queen to care about it. Don't argue, you will go home and rest. I... are a little tired."

Gao said stubbornly: "Your Majesty will be here soon after a while. You have to listen and you must figure it out."

Brother Fen said impatiently: "What else is there to be unclear? You think I don't understand, I understand very much!"

Gao asked calmly: "What does Your Majesty understand?"

"I want to make Chenghong the crown prince. You are afraid that your mother will be deposed as the queen because of her son, so you are impatient to find someone to form an alliance to strengthen your momentum. I don't know yet? I just don't know what you are doing. Why did I cause trouble for the deposed queen? You should live your own lives well, and it is dangerous to fight for it. If you don't believe it, think about the people and things that were not far away from our Tang Dynasty, and just take care of yourself."

At this moment, several palace maids and eunuchs had already entered the hall and bowed to the steps together. Gao turned to Concubine Wang and said, "I've called you. If you have any questions, please ask them in front of His Majesty, please understand!"

Concubine Wang said coldly: "When did I say I would confront you in person? Everyone heard it. Only the queen would confront you again and again. What should I do now when I push you on me?"

Gao's face was cold and without arguing, he sat upright and said to the lower body: "I will answer whatever I ask you. Your Majesty is above. You must tell the truth, otherwise it will be a serious crime to deceive the emperor, understand?"

The servants below kowtowed quickly and said, "Yes, yes..."

Gao nodded slightly and asked, "Where did I go after entering Chengxiang Palace this morning and what did I do?"

A little eunuch said, "The Empress went to the side hall on the front hall and drank tea for a while; then the King of Jin came and said a while. After that, we came back with the Empress."

Gao asked, "Are you always by my side?"

The eunuch replied, "Yes, the young men have been waiting by the Empress."

"What did I say to King Jin?"

The little eunuch thought for a while and said, "Firstly, he talked about His Highness Taiping's illness. He took the Yin-Yang Resurrection Pill... No, the King of Jin said that his Highness had eaten what elixirs he had eaten, and then the Qi was spreading through the seven meridians and eight meridians. The small ones didn't understand, and they couldn't remember it clearly. Then the King of Jin said that the stars in the sky had something to do with the people on the earth, and could be used for fortune telling. The zodiac sign of the empress was..." When he was about to talk about Scorpio, he probably was unhappy when he remembered the queen, so he hurriedly changed his words, "The little ones can't remember it clearly."

Concubine Wang smiled and said, "The King of Jin is interesting, and he even told the queen fortune."

Gao's face was a little embarrassed, and so was Xue Chongxun. He just talked about the serious business, and he was just talking about those things, which was just a joke. She turned around and said, "It's clear now. Are there any shameful things between me and the King of Jin?"

Concubine Wang said in surprise: "When did I say that you have something shameful?"
