Chapter 320 Jealousy
Hearing this, Duoguiren trembled all over and said in his heart, it turns out that your concubine had never told the emperor what she said that day, otherwise the emperor would not have come to question her. Thinking of this, Duoguiren suppressed the fear in his heart and said in a trembling voice
: "Your Majesty, it was my fault that day. It is a great blessing for me to be able to enter the palace and serve the emperor. Her Majesty is the most beloved person of the emperor. I thought that I could make my empress happy.
The emperor loves me even more, so he told his concubine that my current situation is the same as my concubine’s then, so please let me down behind the curtain and become my concubine!”
After hearing this, the emperor looked at the noble lady, his face softened slightly, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "You and your concubine are different. If you speak so openly again in the future, I will never forgive you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I am too impatient. Your Majesty, you are my only support now. I don't want the Emperor to be in trouble because of me. I always want to make everyone accept me as the emperor."
, But... I am so stupid that I have made the Queen Mother and my sisters unhappy. I will definitely not act recklessly again in the future!" Duogui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said cautiously. [ ]
The emperor looked at her weak and pitiful appearance, and felt a trace of annoyance in his heart for no reason. Everyone in the harem did not like Duogui, and he knew it well. Now even the Queen Mother could not help but take action, and things had become difficult.
"You can stay peacefully in Xianfu Palace these days!" the emperor waved his hand.
"Yes! I obey the order, I retire!" The noble lady's heart suddenly sank to the bottom. She knew that the emperor had not summoned her in the past few days, probably to calm down the anger of everyone in the harem, but now she was taken by the Queen Mother.
If she was punished, the emperor would no longer want to see her and let her stay in Xianfu Palace safely. How would she have any chance of receiving divine favor in the future?
"We must not just give up!" After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Duoguiren clenched her fists tightly and secretly made up her mind. She had spent so much effort to enter the palace, and for this she even made her cousin feel resentful towards her.
, became an enemy, and now she would not be willing to return without success.
Thinking about the situation over the years, the eyes of many noble people are filled with tears.
At first, she had even put on the bride's phoenix crown and harem, but her fiancée died unexpectedly, causing her, an enviable daughter of a noble family, to fall into the abyss instantly. Even her grandmother and her mother were criticized.
From then on, no matter how hard she tried, the person who came to propose marriage was about the same age as her grandma, and either wanted her to be a stepmother or a concubine. This not only insulted her, but also insulted grandma, her mother, and the entire family.
Being humiliated, even my brothers couldn't hold their heads up.
During those torturous days, fortunately, Yilan was young and liked her very much, so her uncle's family took her to the capital, where she spent several years of leisure. Later, after returning to Jiangning, she fell in love with her due to her age.
When she got older, no one bothered her anymore, but as a talented and beautiful woman, she felt unwilling to end her life like this.
When Yilan entered the palace, she saw hope and opportunity. She originally thought that if Yilan was favored, she would have the opportunity to let Yilan ask the emperor to grant her a marriage and change her destiny. She knew that simple and kind-hearted
Cousin, I regard her as my dearest person in my heart, and I will never forget her even if I enter the palace.
As she expected, Yi Lan really sent someone to invite her into the palace, once, twice... She was shocked by everything in the palace, especially that time when she looked at the emperor from a distance and saw him treat Yi Lan like that
When she was pampered, a desire arose in her heart. Gradually, that desire took root and sprouted in her heart.
In the past, she was looked down upon by others and became the laughing stock of the Borzigit family, which made Ama and E Niang unable to hold their heads high in front of the tribe. They have been living in the south of the Yangtze River for these years and have never returned to Mongolia. How could she not know the thoughts in their hearts?
depressed.
She had also thought about marrying those powerful officials as concubines as a last resort, but she could never take that step. After entering the palace and meeting the emperor, she was so excited that she would either
If you don't marry, you will have to be a concubine. Instead of marrying those high-ranking officials, why not marry the most powerful man in the world? Only in that way, you can rise to the top in one step and avenge your previous shame.
Things went smoothly unexpectedly. Her cousin took no precautions against her and allowed her to get what she wanted. But now...she realized that her thoughts were too simple. Even though she was smart and ruthless, she couldn't resist the concubines in the harem joining forces.
.
Queen... A thought flashed through Duogui's mind immediately, and she was immediately carried to the Queen's Yikun Palace.
"Sister is here!" When the queen saw the noble person coming, she immediately stood up and personally helped her up. She said with a smile: "Sister, you don't have to be polite."
To be fair, the queen didn't want to see the noble man. In fact, she originally looked down on the noble man and only protected her because she thought she could be used. But because of this woman, the queen mother didn't even want to see her these days.
When she first wanted to take back the power of the harem, the Queen Mother could put in some kind words, but now it was all in vain.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The noble man blessed himself gently, and then sat down with the Queen.
"Why is my sister looking for me?" the queen asked with a smile.
"I would like to ask you something about your concubine!" The noble man said with a smile.
"Ask me, sister. I know that I can tell you everything!" Although the queen agreed, she was thinking about what can and cannot be said!
Duogui asked a lot of questions and almost understood everything about Wei Ning'er in the palace, and then he smiled and said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty asked me to stay well in Xianfu Palace from now on. I don't think I can do this for a long time."
Help me!"
When the queen heard this, her face changed slightly, and then she smiled and said: "With my sister's ability, I think it won't take long to regain the favor!"
Hearing this, the noble lady was noncommittal. She was indeed sure of this, but...everything had variables, and she wanted the Queen's help to kill this variable.
"The concubine does have a way to regain the emperor's favor, but... everyone in the palace, except the empress, rejects the concubine. The concubine is afraid that they will cause harm in secret!" Duogui said with some worry.
Upon hearing this, the queen whispered a few words into Mu Yun's ear, and Mu Yun immediately responded and went to the bedroom.
"I do have ways to help my sister, but I don't know if you dare to take risks, sister!" the queen said with a smile.
Hearing this, the nobles looked at the queen in surprise.
The queen's face was full of smiles. When Mu Yun came back, she handed the small wooden box in Mu Yun's hand to Mr. Duogui.
"What is this?" Mr. Duogui took it with doubts on his face.
"Sister, you will know when you open it!" the queen pretended to be mysterious.
After hearing this, the noble man opened the wooden box and took out a small ceramic bottle from it. He saw that there was a note in the box, so he opened it and took a look. After a while, his face changed drastically. He looked at the Queen with shock in his eyes.
"This is a good thing. I heard that it was commonly used by the most favored concubine of the previous dynasty. I spent a lot of effort to get it, but... I am over forty years old, even if I use this thing
It doesn't help, but my sister is different!" the queen said with a deep look on her face.
Hearing this, the noble man's expression flickered, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "This thing is really as magical as it says on the paper!"
"That's natural!" the queen nodded and said with a smile.
"Okay, concubine, thank you for your kindness!" The noble man said with a smile.
"Well, it's getting late. I'm going to Cining Palace to accompany the Queen Mother in chanting sutras. My sister, please kneel down and pay your respects!" the Queen said softly.
"Yes, concubine, please leave!" The noble man immediately bowed and left.
"Your Majesty, I always feel that these noble people are too cunning and treacherous. Your Majesty, you gave her that thing. I am worried that she will take the opportunity to do harm to you, Your Majesty!" Mu Yun said with great worry.
"As long as she has the courage to play tricks with me, I will let her go to see the King of Hell. What's more... do you think she will use it boldly? No one will believe her except herself.
I am just testing her!" the queen sneered.
"Yes!" Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go to Cining Palace. Today, the Queen Mother should meet with me!" the queen said with a smile.
In the past few days, she went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager did not summon her. However, yesterday, Lu Mo asked her to tell her to come back another day. Thinking about it, the anger in her heart disappeared. After all, they are relatives, so there is no unsolvable resentment.
The matter did not go as the Queen expected. After the Queen Mother made some suggestions, she no longer mentioned the matter of many noble people.
"These days, the Ai family really misses the years when you accompanied the Ai family to recite sutras and pray for blessings." The Queen Mother looked at the queen and said with a smile.
"Concubine, too. It just so happens that I don't need to worry about the matters in the harem, so I can come and accompany the emperor's mother!" The queen looked at the queen mother and said respectfully.
"That's good, don't get involved in recent events, lest you get into trouble!" the Queen Mother said calmly.
"Yes, I obey your order!" the queen responded with a smile.
"How about coming in, Brother Twelve?" The Queen Mother suddenly thought of her grandson, whom she had not seen for many days.
"Well, that child is very obedient. The master often praised him when he went to the study, and the concubine also taught him carefully." The queen smiled from ear to ear when she mentioned the twelfth prince. His son was not only born noble, but also
There was no need to worry about the other princes, and she had hope in the future.
"Well, it's just that we conquered the Qing Dynasty on horseback. The princes are not only good at martial arts, but also must not fall behind in riding and shooting. The Ai family heard Yongxuan say that Yongxuan couldn't hold the bow and arrow when he was in the archery pavilion yesterday, and he couldn't hold the bow and arrow.
Is there such a thing if you dare to get on horseback?" the Queen Mother asked with a solemn face.
"Empress Huang, Yongxing is still young. He has been in the study for less than a year, and the days of riding horses and archery at the Arrow Pavilion are also quite short. I think that he will slowly get better over time. After all, he is still young.
Less than seven years old!" The Queen was full of displeasure, but she did not dare to show it in front of the Queen Mother, so she had to defend her son in case the Queen Mother did not like him.
"Yongxuan was only five years old when he returned to the palace. Later, when he went to the study and arrow pavilion, everyone praised him. Children will grow up one day. It is not good to be too spoiled. Yongxuan is timid. You are so
You have to work harder as a nun!" the Queen Mother said solemnly.
