Not long after Lan Qi became Chang Zai, the Ministry of Internal Affairs saw that the emperor favored his new favorite, so they blindly and diligently took care of Zhong Cuigong. Once, he sent something to Wu Chang Zai before An Gui people did, which caused An Gui people to come and make a fuss.
In the past, An Gui people would make trouble because they felt that she was still young and the emperor had not really neglected her. Now, although she is old and golden, she is already in the concubine position and has been bullied to the head by a young Chang Zai. How can she swallow it?
Take this breath.
However, Wang Changzai was more favored than the Xiaowuya family in the past, and she was under the command of the concubine Xi of Qixiang Palace. Concubine An was not stupid enough to make a fuss. She just complained to Concubine Rong in Jingyang Palace, while letting others go around.
He spread the word and made it known to everyone in the palace, saying that the king was always proud of his favor and that no one was unruly in his eyes.
"It's not a big deal. Pan Xia also saw that day at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They were all going to pick up things. The little eunuch there flattered the people around Wang Chang and asked them to take the lead first, leaving us all aside.
"Dai Guiren came to Yonghe Palace to invite Concubine De, and while walking with her to Jingyang Palace, he explained, "The palace maids around An Bin were not convinced, so they asked more, who knows what those eunuchs are talking about?
Even the canonization ceremony was not held. When you get older, the emperor should be content with giving you a concubine to support you in your old age. Do you think these words were spoken by humans?"
Lan Qi sneered: "These are the people making trouble in the palace."
Dai Guiren said: "It has not been easy for Concubine An to endure these years. She is also a noble person, and her life has been difficult. I occasionally use my body to supplement her. Now she is finally proud and proud. It is inevitable that she will feel a bit proud, and
If she has to cause trouble, please be more tolerant."
Lan Qi sighed: "You are so kind-hearted, and you are still helping her after so many years. When Duanbi told me earlier, she was afraid that you would suffer again or be plotted by her, so we kept looking at her coldly, but we didn't expect that you really influenced her.
.It is also because of this that Sister Rong wanted to help her, but you see, it only lasted a few days, and then it caused trouble."
Dai Guiren smiled and said: "Those things between Concubine Chen and Concubine An are old and not worth mentioning. The trouble now is that several people in the palace who have suffered losses have joined Concubine An in coming to Jingyang Palace to find Concubine Rong.
The decision was made and Wang Changzai had to come and apologize. Although I also knew that Wang Changzai was very arrogant recently, it was the fault of those who were slaves, so why involve her. And earlier, they did not dare to be bullied by Concubine Ping.
It's obvious that Wang Changzai is no better than Concubine Ping, so everyone came to intervene."
Dai Guiren was the person Lan Qi "picked up" from the road in the past. She couldn't bear to see her being abused by An Guiren. By chance, she became the favored one and gave birth to the seventh prince. She has been peaceful and contented ever since, but even a weak person can learn this from the Forbidden City.
There are some people like An Bi who have been around for more than 20 years and still don’t understand the way to survive.
But then again, why should she swallow her anger? She was ignored by the emperor. She couldn't do anything to live a happy life. Unfortunately, Wang Changzai also had the same idea. What good could they do if they were facing each other?
result.
When Lan Qi arrived at Jingyang Palace, Wang Changzai hadn't come yet. It turned out that Concubine Rong had sent someone to look for her, but Concubine An and several nobles agreed to pester her and refused to leave.
The only option was to find Lan Qi and discuss countermeasures with her.
Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine De has been very powerful in recent years. She can be considerate and gentle to everyone, and she can also punish those below her without mercy. Such talents are really not easy to mess with, so Lan Qi came in. When he got up, the expressions on everyone's faces changed.
Concubine Rong left them behind and retreated to the inner hall with Lan Qi to talk. She smiled bitterly and said, "I should listen to you, so why bother to help An Bin up? If I scold her, I won't be slapping myself in the face. But if I help her, No big deal, it seems like I deliberately bullied Wang Changzai."
Lan Qi didn't want to make it difficult for Concubine Rong, but instead advised her: "Wang is very proud these days. It has spread throughout the palace. She has been having trouble with me many times. Every time I go to Qianqing Palace, she must come. Obviously You know you can't argue with me, but you have to show your face."
Concubine Rong said: "I heard that there are misunderstandings inside. She is not such a stupid person."
Lan Qi nodded: "I also know that she didn't mean it, but things like this happen again and again. It's obvious that she was targeted by someone. Who asked her to walk with her chin raised and look at no one. We don't care, others may not be pleased with it. , it’s time to teach her a lesson and beat her hard.”
"Concubine Xi has no hope of being obedient in front of her now. She is afraid that Wang will say a few words to the emperor's pillow and she will lose even her last dignity. Wang is only half her age, why should she be so disrespectful? Respect." Concubine Rong sighed and said impatiently, "If new people come in the future and cause trouble one after another, will we still be able to live longer?"
Concubine Rong was used to seeing these things, but she became more and more out of control in the past two years. However, Lan Qi didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "They are making trouble like this, biting each other, and no one can get ahead. We don't need it." So if you try to suppress your arrogance, you will kill half of it first, which is considered a good thing."
Concubine Rong was puzzled and asked her: "You mean, we don't care?"
Lan Qi nodded: "The emperor agreed to promote An's concubine because she has a bad temper. Xi's concubines are those who bully others and even fawn over those who are lower than themselves. But An's concubine is different. She will fawn over those who are more noble than her. But for those whose status is lower than hers, even if she is favored, she will still bully her. I suffered a lot from her in the past, let alone being bullied in turn, can she swallow that breath? "
"The Emperor said so?"
"Your Majesty just mentioned a few words, I analyzed them myself." Lan Qi said with a smile, "I will tell Concubine An right now, she is a noble concubine, how can she be bullied by a little Chang Zai and still find someone to make the decision? If she If it makes sense, just go to Qixiang Palace and talk to Xi Concubine yourself, we can't take care of those things."
"Then..."
"Don't you think it's appropriate for my sister to bring Ms. Wang to Jingyang Palace and let her humiliate you and apologize to everyone?" Lan Qi advised, "The most we can do is just say inaction, and let them do the rest. Go ahead, as long as these people are making trouble, they will restrain each other. At worst, the trouble will become ugly, and we will show up again."
Concubine Rong clicked her tongue: "I knew I would come up with such an idea without consulting you. What's terrible is that I was persuaded by you." But the conversation changed and she added, "Who do you think Wang will be targeted by? She Why do I always have trouble with you? Are you trying to instigate your relationship?"
Lan Qi shook her head: "There are only a few people in the palace, so let's take a cold look."
Afterwards, the two empresses came out, but they didn’t give everyone an explanation. They even said that Concubine An had a distinguished status now and should share some things with them. She would handle the matter by herself this time, and she would also help with some trivial matters in the future, such as these Argues should be avoided and no longer brought to the front of Concubine Rong and Concubine De. It seems that she has rejected An Bin's request, but it has also given her enough face.
If Concubine Rong was alone, they might still make a fuss, but Lan Qi sat on the edge with an indifferent expression, and Concubine An and the others did not dare to talk more. They left Jingyang Palace with mixed emotions, and the women went outside.
Once they figured it out, they decided not to let the Wang family continue to be arrogant, so they angrily came to Qixiang Palace and asked the concubines to give them an explanation.
There was such a fuss in the palace, and everyone who had nothing to do with it was watching the joke. In the Changchun Palace, Yuan promised to wait in the main hall, but Concubine Hui came out late. She was wearing very inappropriate pajamas. She lazily sat on the side and asked her
Said: "Why are you here now?"
Yuan promised to salute and said softly: "I heard that your Majesty is not feeling well and wanted to come and see you."
Concubine Hui waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. I had a stomachache due to being too cold at night, and my body feels weak and I just want to sleep."
Yuan promised to express concern for a few words, and then talked about the things outside: "On the way here, I saw Concubine An and several nobles going to Qixiang Palace. It seems that this time, Wang Changzai has caused a lot of trouble.
He’s such an easy person to mess with.”
Concubine Hui nodded and looked at Yuan Rensheng fixedly. Yuan Rensheng turned pale with fright, and finally said hesitantly: "Concubine, I have already said that I have made an appointment with Wang Chang to see him off at Yuqing Palace the day after tomorrow."
thing."
Concubine Hui said coldly: "That's good. That's the important thing. You don't have to worry about anything else."
Yuan promised to be frightened and uneasy: "Is it true that nothing will happen to me? Madam, I am afraid."
Concubine Hui smiled and said: "If something happens to you, will you not tell me? Since you are so unreliable, how can I let something happen to you and implicate myself again? And since you have touched it, you are not clean. If you
Even if you want to report me and seek relief, you won't survive."
Yuan promised to be so frightened that she knelt on the ground. Concubine Hui stood up and looked at her condescendingly, saying grimly: "If Fujin cannot give birth to a child, I will promise you a bright future. You will be even more prosperous than Wang Changzai, little princess."
I can also let you take care of yourself. Few people who live well in the Forbidden City are clean. Aren't you very courageous? You dare to use medicine on Wang Changzai to prevent her from getting pregnant. This small thing is nothing. Let's
It's like killing two birds with one stone, I'll help you get rid of Wang Changzai, and you'll help me get rid of Xi Fujin's children."
Yuan promised to have tears in her eyes, biting her lips and not daring to speak. Concubine Hui leaned over and pinched her chin and said: "Look at how beautiful you are. You are more charming than Wang. The emperor will like you sooner or later. Take your time."
Without Wang, the Emperor will only think about you."
It turned out that Concubine Hui planned to make Yuan promise to ask Wang Chang to go to Yuqing Palace with him, and to manipulate the snacks so that Fu Jin could slide. Yuan agreed after much hesitation, and she only had to be responsible for letting Wang Chang go with her.
Once and for all other poisoning matters, Concubine Hui will ask someone to arrange it.
But just as Concubine Hui said she was stupid, Yuan promised to believe this, which is extremely stupid. From very early on, Yuqing Palace did not touch any food sent from outside, and the food in Yuqing Palace was strictly controlled.
A hand test for the poison will show that the poisoning in the study that caused the sudden death of Brother Six will never happen again. Even if Concubine Hui had extraordinary abilities, she would not be able to put her hand into the Yuqing Palace.
She just wanted to test Yuan's loyalty. As long as she was willing to take that trip without causing any complications, it would at least mean that this stupid woman was loyal to her at least, and would not be as duplicitous as Concubine Yi, nor be as duplicitous as Guiren Ping.
Having evil intentions.
But that day, An Bin took people to Qixiang Palace to make trouble, and the result was unexpected. Just when Xi Bin had no choice but to ask Wang Changzai to come forward to apologize, a decree suddenly came from Qianqing Palace, reprimanding An Bin and Xi Pin for bullying others and bullying Wang Changzai, who was young and weak.
, the fault of the servant of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has nothing to do with Wang Changzai. While taking Wang Changzai to Qianqing Palace to comfort and care for him, he ordered the concubines An and Xi to think about their mistakes behind closed doors.
It's not about An's concubine, Xi's concubine was simply dragged into the water. After this incident, she became even more wary of Wang Changzai. Everyone was very polite to her, and everyone in the palace saw through it. The emperor really had a new love.
, regardless of old feelings.
Lan Qi heard about this matter from Concubine Rong who ran over in a hurry. Sister Rong sighed and said: "Fortunately, I listened to you and ignored this matter. Otherwise, if the emperor ordered me to shut up and think about my mistakes, I would have lost all my face for more than twenty years."
It’s all going to be lost.”
Lan Qi listened blankly, her heart turbulent. Why did Xuan Ye dote on a woman so much? In what direction did he want to push Wang Changzai?
