The empress is the emperor's wife, and her mother-in-law is the supreme queen of all women in the empire! She rules the harem and has to set an example for all the women in the empire. Her daily life is meticulous and strict.
For Arut, it is not okay to eat three meals a day irregularly, and there must not be a trace of wrinkles in her clothes to damage the queen's majesty!
Zai Chun loved and respected this queen so much! It was really frustrating to see her.
Arut had long known that the emperor was being ridiculous at night these past few days, and had tried to persuade him several times. However, Zai Chun always agreed verbally, but when he turned around, it was not him!
He has no composure when it comes to women, whether it's Concubine Hui or Xiao Sixi, and his true nature is immediately revealed when they seduce them in the slightest!
The Arut family really had no choice but to hear from the eunuchs that the emperor was actually going to Yudetang. The queen really couldn't sit still!
Where is Yudetang? What is the emperor going to do? How can this be so ridiculous? If the news spreads, do you still want the dignity of the empire?
The queen really had no choice. She had no one to rely on in the palace. Cixi, one of the two queen mothers, was in the Forbidden City, but this mother-in-law wanted her to die. She could not be found.
And the Empress Dowager Ci'an of the East has been living in Beiyuan. Will she open the Shenwu Gate in the middle of the night? Can you make such a big fuss?
After thinking about it, I had to stop it myself!
Sure enough, on the way to Yude Hall, the queen stopped the emperor's warm sedan, and this was the embarrassing scene!
"Your Majesty! You are also a person who is familiar with history books. You don't know the story of the Wine Pond and the Meat Forest. The lessons of the country's subjugation are right in front of you!"
"I'm not stopping you from finding other concubines, but you can't be ridiculous! Why are you going to Yudetang? Do you dare to say it with your conscience?"
"The Qing Dynasty has just begun to see improvement. Your Majesty, your reform has just started... You are so ridiculous. Do you still want the dignity of the empire if word spreads out?"
Zai Chun made his wife blush and said, "Oh... this... this... stop talking, stop talking, can't I go back?"
It’s really like picking tofu with brine and getting rid of one thing at a time! Zai Chun, with his bad temper, could actually endure the woman's lesson. He didn't even have the slightest rebuttal or anger.
Concubine Hui in the sedan couldn't stand this attitude. The jealousy in her heart! He tried his best to sacrifice all the beautiful women around him for the emperor's pleasure, and also gave him strategies to solve the crisis in the court!
But I still can't get the emperor's attitude. Why is there a vixen in this Arut family? He doesn’t look as good as me, so why are you so obsessed with Long Live Lord?
Concubine Hui didn't understand that this was not a mystery, but a kind of respect! Zai Chun respects the queen from the bottom of his heart!
Arut's own dignity and propriety prevented Zai Chun from playing off his gangsterism, and he respected his daughter-in-law, Emperor Tongzhi, very much.
Concubine Hui held her handkerchief and gritted her teeth, forgetting where this place was. She didn't know why she made a sound with her feet.
"Who? Who's in the sedan?" Arut shouted immediately.
"Lift the curtain...open it!" the queen gave the decree, and Xiao Sixi did not dare not listen and could only whisper, "Concubine Hui...you'd better come out!"
At this time, Concubine Hui could no longer hide. She opened the curtain with a frown and walked out, "Greetings to my sister..."
Snapped! He slapped her across the face and said, "Who is your sister? No matter how big or small, have you forgotten the dignity of superiors and inferiors? Kneel down..."
Concubine Hui was stunned, tears fell down as soon as her nose twitched. She even glanced at the emperor pitifully, only to find that Zai Chun was just standing here in embarrassment, with no intention of saving her.
Concubine Hui could only kneel on the cold long street and "say hello to the queen..."
"Aren't you convinced when I ask you to kneel down? What do you mean, Your Majesty? I am the Queen and I rule the Sixth Palace. Are you unwilling to submit?"
Arut truly showed her majesty as a queen, pointing at Concubine Hui's nose and scolding, "Am I the one who is jealous and refuses to serve you? When did I stop you from serving the emperor?"
"But you have to know the rules! If you seduce the emperor and commit lewd acts, I can kill you on the spot with my right as a queen!"
"Can you sit in the imperial chariot? Look up at me, can you sit in the imperial chariot? Why are you crying? Palm mouth..."
Don't believe any palace fighting dramas, especially during the Manchu and Qing dynasties, and don't believe that the concubines can compete with the queen in a battle of wits and even force the queen to death.
That's all acting, it's impossible! The rules of the Sixth Palace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were extremely strict, and even the emperor did not dare to stop the queen from performing the duties of the harem!
The power gap between the queen and the concubines is not that of superiors and subordinates between monarchs and ministers, but more similar to that of masters and slaves!
Seeing such a scene, Zai Chun had no choice but to persuade her, "Okay, okay...Queen, calm down, all the mistakes you made are my fault, and I forced Concubine Hui to get into the chariot!"
"I've been too tired from dealing with government affairs these days, so I thought I'd relax... Since the queen doesn't allow it, then go back to the harem!"
"Here comes someone... Take the Kunning Palace, I will accompany the queen tonight..."
Arut's tears fell down, "Am I here to compete for favor? I want the emperor to take good care of himself! You have to rest for things like bed curtains!"
"Go to Kunning Palace, go to the Yangxin Palace... I'm watching you have a good sleep and take good care of your body and bones. You have to remember that the railway has not been built yet, and the iron factory has not been put into operation yet. You will have a lot in the future. Busy times!”
As soon as he mentioned the iron factory and the railway, all Zai Chun's thoughts of fun disappeared, and all his absurd thoughts were thrown away. "My wife is right, the master's telegram also said so, and the master gave me one more Batch construction materials..."
"The Beijing-Tianjin Railway and the iron works must be completed today!"
Zai Chun pulled the queen onto the warm sedan, and before getting on the sedan, he waved to Xiao Sixi, signaling him to quickly send Concubine Hui back to the harem.
Arut saw Zai Chun's little actions and said angrily, "Concubine Hui is grounded for ten days! Let her reflect and reflect!"
"Hey... Concubine Hui, why don't you thank me?" Xiao Sixi said in response.
Concubine Hui resisted crying and kowtowed on the ground, "Concubine... thank you..."
The emperor's warm sedan returned to the Yangxin Hall. In the sedan, Zai Chun warmed the queen's hands with his hands and smiled, while Arut didn't continue to mess around, but talked about business.
"Your Majesty! By killing Guang Liang and his minions, you have already slapped Prince Zheng and the others hard in the face! You have to be more careful!"
"You are following Yongzheng's method, can't others use the Eighth Master Party's method? You are walking on a single-plank bridge now. If you are not careful, you will be doomed!"
"Huh? Did you hear something?" Zai Chun asked.
"My brother came to the palace to see me this afternoon... Now there are already rumors in the market about His Majesty's obscene play in Detang Hall!"
"Why do such rumors arise at this juncture? Who did it? Who has such ability? Why don't you think about it carefully!"
Zai Chun's face suddenly turned cold. "Damn it, it seems they are still dissatisfied! I will settle the score with them slowly!"
