Before Ning Yue could say anything, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu grabbed her and dragged her out of the Palace of Eternal Life.
The concubine De, who was just trying to be cool for a while, was frightened. The emperor and the queen could punish her at will, but what about these concubines who had not been favored for a long time?
She couldn't help but feel sad for a moment.
The news of the Queen's grounding quickly spread throughout the palace, and everyone lamented that the Queen was accompanying the Emperor to court even in the morning, and was grounded before it got dark. She was punished for admonishing the Emperor for that kind of thing. This Isn't the Queen too miserable?
The queen, who everyone thought was miserable, was living a comfortable life. Shang Gongju had just sent several sets of brightly colored clothes just to make Empress Bo smile.
The people from the Shangshi Bureau specifically asked Ning Yue to ask if there was anything she wanted to eat. They would ask the eunuch in charge of purchasing to buy the freshest ingredients. They just hoped that the queen would be in a good mood.
There was also a set of wonderful and gorgeous phoenix-patterned jewelry sent from Shangzhen Bureau in front of her. There were forty-eight pieces in total, and each piece was of high quality.
What's more, the concubines in the harem were afraid that she would be bored, so they came directly to Kunning Palace and planned to be grounded with the queen.
In order to make the queen happy, these concubines really tried their best to take away all the work of the palace maids. "My queen, please try the tea I brewed. I have been secretly learning it for a long time, but I just don't know." Can I enter my queen’s mouth?”
Ning Yue picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Not bad, I didn't expect Sister Hua to be so good at making tea."
Hua Xiurong's face turned red from the praise, "As long as the queen likes it, I will often make tea for you from now on."
Ning Yue put down the tea cup and took Hua Xiurong's little hand, "Don't, let the palaces do these rough jobs. I don't want your beautiful little hands to get burned."
Hua Xiurong smiled even happier. The empress used "I" to her, "I will be careful and will never let myself get burned."
Another concubine came forward and said, "Your Majesty, I read a lot of miscellaneous books when I was not in the palace, and accidentally discovered a beauty recipe. Please touch my face. Is it particularly smooth and elastic? I But any rouge is useless. If you like it, I will help you apply it on your face. I guarantee that your skin condition will be improved several times in less than half a month!"
Ning Yue refused to accept anyone who came: "Okay, give me a try now. I have been worrying about this and that every day for a while, and my face has become very haggard. It's a good time to take care of myself during the confinement."
By the way, is that thing you said to apply on your face difficult to get? "
The concubine immediately said, "It's not difficult at all. I will give the recipe to the empress right now."
Ning Yue waved her hand, "You don't need to give the prescription to me. If it's easy to make, you can make more and we can apply it together."
When the emperor heard the report from his subordinates and found out that Ning Yue was even more moisturized after being grounded than before, he was so angry that he directly issued an order to drive away all the concubines...
After coming out of Kunning Palace, Liang Chongrong thought more and more angrily, and finally couldn't hold it back and took Concubine Xian to Concubine De's Palace.
Today, many concubines came to Kunning Palace to accompany the Queen to relieve her boredom, but Concubine De did not show up.
Moreover, the reason why the empress was banned was all because of Concubine De. Didn’t Concubine De like to make trouble? Then she might as well find more things for Concubine De!
"Sister De Fei, are you very proud now?"
Concubine De's originally smiling face suddenly darkened.
But Liang Chongrong didn't give her a chance to speak at all, "The queen is grounded. From now on, we can only live by looking at Su Linglong's face. Do you think your life in the palace can be better than before?"
Although Concubine De had such slight regrets, how could she allow others to point it out so straightforwardly?
"How presumptuous, you little Chongrong dare to accuse me, Su Xin, give me a slap in the face."
Concubine Xian said: "Wait a minute, how long has it been and you still only think about punishing Liang Chongrong? Haven't you understood what happened today?"
Concubine De: "What do you understand?"
Concubine Xian couldn't help but look at the maids in her palace, and Concubine De asked all the maids and eunuchs to go out, leaving only Su Xin, a personal maid.
"Tell me, I won't hide anything from her."
The two concubines Xian didn't hide anything at the moment, and said all the words they heard last time in the imperial garden, "I heard these words together. I thought that there had been no children born in the emperor's harem, and it was a proper filial piety." Period, who knows if the emperor will still remember who she is, Su Linglong, three years later?
But I didn't expect that she was so bold, so brave, so brave to get pregnant during the filial piety period. She danced and saw the red sun in her arms. She actually got pregnant a month later, and the emperor promoted her status on the spot. , and was promoted over the next level and given the title of 'Zhen', becoming Zhaoyi second only to the fourth concubine. Do you think the emperor will really dismiss the harem for her? "
Concubine De angrily slapped the huanghuali wood table next to her, and then grinned in pain. Su Xin picked up her hand and rubbed it quickly, "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. Dismissing the harem is not a trivial matter, Your Majesty." , the emperor will not do this."
Liang Chongrong said disdainfully: "Believe it or not, I didn't believe it before. However, seeing the emperor being so cruel to the queen, I feel heartbroken. At worst, if the emperor really dismisses the harem, I will go back to my parents' home. My father treats me well." Yes, it’s impossible not to support me, but I don’t know if your mother-in-law has such a fate.”
Concubine De's father was the Minister of Rites, and he was very observant of etiquette. If the emperor really dismissed the harem, her father would definitely send her to the family temple and let her die alone.
Su Xin was brought by Concubine De from home, so she naturally knew her master's temper. Even the eldest son was taught to be a bit pedantic by the master. If the empress was really sent back to the house, the eldest son would probably force the empress to die.
"No, how can this be done? We are the emperor's concubines, how can we be dismissed immediately? Let's go to the queen and ask her to tell the emperor..."
Concubine Xian dropped the tea cup in her hand to the ground with a bang, and the tea splashed a large area on the corners of Concubine De's skirt, "You are afraid that you will not be able to harm the empress, right? She has been grounded by you, what is your next step? Do you plan to send her directly to the cold palace?"
Concubine De fell down on the chair, her face as pale as a piece of paper, "I really have no other thoughts. I just saw that Su Linglong was favored, and the queen wanted to bring Su Linglong and the emperor together, so I couldn't help but make a few remarks. I didn’t expect that the emperor would be so cruel that he would directly restrain the queen!”
"I see that you are a shrewd person on weekdays, but why do you become like this when something happens?
It’s not like you lost favor because of Su Linglong. How long has it been since the emperor didn’t come to your palace? Why are you fighting for this?
As long as the Queen is well and there are people above to support us, our lives will not be sad. To put it bluntly, the Emperor only uses us as tools to control the family. He will not be half sincere towards us at all. After so many years Can't you see clearly? "Xian Fei said helplessly.
