Eunuch Liang raised his eyebrows. Although he had not been at the top among the palace ladies and eunuchs in the Forbidden City for a long time, the chief steward was the chief steward. In the past few years, no one in or outside the palace had given him Eunuch Liang face. The emperor came forward
The most powerful concubine, the Concubine De, treated him politely and often praised him for his hard work in taking care of the emperor. However, this little Chang Zai actually yelled at him.
Wang Changzai was also anxious, so he uttered evil words. At home, she was a wealthy lady, and she was not always a low-brow person. After entering the palace, she had to bend down and behave. But this time, the emperor gave her face, and everyone in the palace came to
Flattery, her early pride as a rich young lady returned to her body, and she failed to control her words and deeds on impulse.
"Wang Chang is waiting for a moment. After the servant Min Chang comes in, he will ask Long Live Lord and then I will give you an explanation." Eunuch Liang sneered in his heart. Although his face was full of respect and politeness, he gave up his words as he spoke.
The king, Chang Zai, turned around to Min Chang Zai, bowed and said, "Chang Zai, long live my lord, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please come in."
Min Changzai raised his eyes and glanced at Mrs. Wang. She had an angry look on her face, and her beautiful face looked a bit ferocious under the light.
"Eunuch Liang, the Yanxi Palace was busy all day today. The little princess was hugged and played by everyone. She felt a little uncomfortable at night. She was still crying before I went out. I felt very uneasy. I thought
After reporting this to the Emperor, I withdrew. Now that Wang Chang is here, and there is no shortage of people around the Emperor, I feel more at ease, so I won’t go in. I’d like to trouble my father-in-law to report this to the Emperor for me. I’d better go back first. I’m really thinking about it.
Little princess."
After Min Chang said these words calmly and indifferently, without waiting for Eunuch Liang's consent, he walked towards the door and turned around holding Xiaoyu's hand. Eunuch Liang tried to persuade her to stay, but to no avail. When everyone was embarrassed, the door opened.
A young eunuch ran out and whispered in Manager Liang's ear. Manager Liang seemed relieved, bowed and said to the two of them: "Long live the Lord suddenly has something important to deal with. He may have to summon the ministers to see him tonight. Today
I won't bother you at night. You two are always waiting. Please go back and have a rest early."
Wang Changzai asked sternly: "According to this, Master Long Live summoned me obviously, but what did you say just now, Eunuch Liang, how could you say that you were clearly teasing me?"
Eunuch Liang responded without changing his expression: "Long live the Lord, he knew you were coming, that's why he said this. I am a servant in front of the emperor, how dare I not hear anything, and how many brains do I have, how dare I play tricks on Wang Changzai."
"You clearly have it in your heart..." Wang Changzai was arrogant and couldn't hold back his arrogance for a moment. When he was about to scold Eunuch Liang again, he heard the movement of a sedan chair.
Everyone looked at the sound and unknowingly Min Changzai had sat back in the sedan chair. Her maid Xiao Yu ran over to Wang Changzai and saluted to say goodbye. She also thanked Eunuch Liang for her hard work before leaving.
This makes it even more obvious that Wang Changzai has no manners and manners. She is a smart person and knows that she is rude tonight, but Eunuch Liang is a slave after all. She has no need to be humble to a slave and think about giving him some benefits in the future.
That's it, I stopped caring about Eunuch Liang and sat back in the sedan chair.
After both sides left, Eunuch Liang straightened up and took a breath. The young apprentice next to him came to invite him back diligently, and helped scold Wang Changzai for a few words, but Eunuch Liang scolded him: "Slap, you bastard, when will it be your turn?"
Are you talking about the master behind his back?"
Naturally, Eunuch Liang would not really punish the young apprentice, but he also murmured in his heart. Looking at the two people who were in the same position, one was the humblest palace maid in the past, and the other was a rich lady from a scholarly family in the south of the Yangtze River. But what?
Look, Min Changzai is more noble and generous, and has a bit of the character of the Concubine De, but this Wang Changzai is really unflattering.
There used to be a powerful Concubine Ping in the palace. If something like this happened, she would definitely not be able to spare Wang Chang Zai for being so arrogant. But looking at the palace now, despite the few nobles who don't want to care about it, no one can compete with her.
She was the first to contend with favors, but it was the emperor who forcibly turned her into what she is today with regard to her temperament. Even if something went wrong in the Yuqing Palace, he would be able to speak out for her. Prince Fujin was even better than her.
"Short", Eunuch Liang knew in his heart that no matter how displeased he was, he could not violate the emperor's wishes. Since the emperor wanted Wang Changzai to walk sideways in the palace, he should get out of the way.
But this incident spread in the palace the next day, saying that Wang Changzai had gone to intercept Min Changzai's favor, which angered the emperor, and both of them were sent back.
Said that Min Chang was no longer as strong as before, and the palace, which had been peaceful for several months, was rippled again, but soon it was the day when the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother were to get married. Even if Lan Qi could bear it, Concubine Rong would not agree.
.
In the next two days, some slanderous concubines were punished by Concubine Rong for this. Although the palace calmed down a bit, some were unconvinced and bold enough to go directly to Ningshou Palace, confirming that the Queen Mother was not the former Emperor.
The Queen Mother, this "master" was easy to bully, so she asked the Queen Mother to make the decision and control the arrogant Wang Chang Zai.
Concubine Rong and Lan Qi were even more angry. How could they allow those women to disturb the Queen Mother's peace? Although they found those people to reprimand and punish them, they had already alarmed the Ningshou Palace. The Queen Mother could no longer pretend not to know, so she could only treat Wang and Zhang Jia.
When Lan Qi arrived at Ningshou Palace, the two of them were kneeling in the palace to reply.
Concubine Rong and Lan Qi walked by and saluted the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother remembered to ask them to stand up and give them a seat, but the two underneath were still kneeling. They only heard the Queen Mother say: "Only when the concubines are in harmony can the Sixth Palace be peaceful. The Emperor likes it recently
You guys, you should be more dignified. Although what happened that night was not your fault, you should have handled it more carefully. Don't let such a thing happen again in the future. If word spreads, the royal family will be lost.
of decency.”
Lan Qi was listening. The Queen Mother obviously did not speak harshly to them for the emperor's sake. She probably just called them to show the people outside, but the matter did not end there. Just when the Queen Mother was teaching them the rules, Liang
The father-in-law came from the Qianqing Palace in person. When he saw that Concubine De and Concubine Rong were here, he guiltily avoided their gazes. Then he fell in front of the Queen Mother and conveyed the emperor's words. One was that the emperor wanted to summon Wang Changzai to the Qianqing Palace, and the other was that the emperor wanted to summon Wang Changzai to the Qianqing Palace.
He actually conveyed Xuan Ye's words word for word: "The Queen's mother is willing to teach Wang Changzai, which is a blessing for me and her, but please consider the Queen's mother's sake because she is young and ignorant, and has no relatives in the palace."
, please don’t be too harsh, and be more gentle and protective of the king.”
The Queen Mother was dumbfounded and looked blankly at Lan Qi. Lan Qi and Concubine Rong had already stood up and left their seats, lowering their heads to listen to the emperor's words. They did not know that the Queen Mother was looking at them.
"Take Wang Changzai to Qianqing Palace." The Queen Mother could only retract her gaze, swallowing her anger, and ordered in a cold voice, "Tell your Majesty that I am not in good spirits and have no time to teach Wang Changzai for her. Please teach Your Majesty yourself more." Take the trouble."
Manager Liang tremblingly agreed. Wang Chang kowtowed to the Queen Mother and then struggled to get up from the ground. Although there was a hint of arrogance in his eyes, he did not dare to be presumptuous in front of the Queen Mother and the second concubine. He bowed his head and stepped back, waiting for the door. When she turned around, Lan Qi clearly saw her straightening her back, turning her face sideways and raising her chin high, and her whole body was full of endless arrogance.
"All of you, please step aside." The Queen Mother was obviously very unhappy. She helped the nanny beside her get up and walk to the inner hall. Lan Qi did not dare to stop her. She asked Sister Rong to take care of Min Changzai, who had been kneeling for a long time, and then followed the Queen Mother inside. After entering the door, the Queen Mother sat down on the Kang. She signaled her mama to retreat and bowed deeply, saying, "I apologize to you on behalf of the Emperor. The Emperor will definitely come to apologize to you in person in the future. What I said just now It must be a last resort, please don’t take it to heart, the Queen Mother."
"Get up and speak." The Queen Mother frowned and complained, "She is really capable of causing us to make such a fuss over a little Chang Zai."
Lan Qi did not dare to get up, but still knelt on the ground and said respectfully to the Queen Mother: "Look at how many concubines have been treated in this way in the palace over the years. Even the former Queen Xiaoyi, you also know that the emperors before and after her have treated them like this. I have reprimanded you for not showing mercy to someone as noble as the Queen. How could the Emperor with Wang Changzai’s status not even care about your filial piety?”
She knelt at the Queen Mother's knees, holding on to the Queen Mother's robe, and explained everything the emperor had said to her. The Queen Mother was so sad that she pulled Lan Qi to sit beside her, caressed the back of her hand and said, "I'm sorry for you. "
"The emperor has taken care of the matter himself, and I am not embarrassed by it. I saw you angry, and I really felt it was unworthy and couldn't bear it, so I told the truth. But I think the emperor will definitely come to explain to you in the future. Please forgive me, Queen Mother." Lan Qi tried her best to defend Xuan Ye, and even mentioned Yuqing Palace, saying, "Look at how many times in the past few years have someone been allowed to be disrespectful to Yuqing Palace. That time it made Fu Jin even call him the imperial doctor, but the emperor In turn, he blamed Xi Fujin for being careless. The emperor pushed Wang Changzai to the forefront in such an extreme way. I believe that the courtiers will soon attack her. Is the emperor going to use her to restrain the harem or to warn Jiangnan? I dare not I'm making random guesses, but I know in my heart that she is actually a poor person, and compared to her, I, my concubine, and many other concubines in this palace are much luckier."
The Queen Mother sighed: "I used to think that the queen I was doing was inexplicable. Now that I see you like this, I realize how good my life is. I really don't know how lucky I am in the blessings. I am a rich and idle person, what else can I complain about?" ."
"If you don't misunderstand Your Majesty, I will feel at ease." Lan Qi did not want the Queen Mother to have any quarrel with Xuan Ye, so she still said cautiously, "Even if the Emperor is too busy to explain to you, I will try to remind the Emperor. After all, it was the Emperor who was rude to you."
The Queen Mother then showed a little smile and said, "After Yuxi enters the palace, let her watch how you conduct yourself. If you teach her by words and deeds, she will definitely be a filial daughter-in-law in the future and will never ask anything of her elders." That way.”
Now Lan Qi is afraid that the Queen Mother will misunderstand the emperor. She knows that even if she says so much, the Queen Mother must still have a grudge in her heart. After leaving Ningshou Palace that day, she sent someone to send a message to Eunuch Liang. Sure enough, Liang Eunuch
The father-in-law sent back and said that the emperor asked Concubine De to be at ease, and that the emperor would personally go to Ningshou Palace at night to explain to the Queen Mother.
Lan Qi sat in the Yonghe Palace and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up and saw the wedding items spread out on the shelves on the table. She couldn't help complaining to Xuan Ye: "You don't feel sorry for me at all. You have to cause some trouble."
