On the seventh day of the first lunar month, a banquet was held in the inner courtyard of the palace, where officials were invited to enjoy the snow, and colorful silks were given to compose poems to entertain the guests. Then came the lively Lantern Festival.
The laughter and laughter of the concubines and princes and princesses in the palace ascended to Changfu Tower to enjoy the lanterns, and the faint silence of Hanbing Palace could be heard.
Supported by Ke'er and standing on the porch, Wu Chongyuan was shaking with anger when she saw several pots of broken flowers placed in the courtyard.
"Is this what the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent to Hanbing Palace today?"
"yes!"
No matter how hard she tried to hide it, the empress heard the laughter coming from the lantern viewing in the distance and decided to go out for a walk in the courtyard. She still saw a few pots of broken flowers sent to Hanbing Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
After being frustrated for several days, Ke'er finally couldn't hold his anger any longer!
Who is this to ridicule?
"The one in Shangyang Palace is too vicious. I can't stand it anymore."
Ke'er gritted her teeth with hatred: "My queen is still pregnant with the emperor's heir, so they dare to bully her so blatantly. It's really hateful."
At first, Grandma Di kept winking at Ke'er, meaning not to tell Wu Chongyuan, who was pregnant, about these troubles.
But Ke'er started, but couldn't hold it back anymore.
Wu Chongyuan looked at her, and Aunt Di had to say: "Because of last year's Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, everyone in the palace knew that the empress had a deep grudge with the Shangyang Palace. Therefore, after she took charge of the Sixth Palace again, she learned that the emperor had Having never been to the Hanbing Palace, those who were tested earlier became bolder."
Aunt Di said angrily: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent these pots of broken flowers. Ke'er was so angry that she even went to make a fuss today. But I don't know if the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were instigated by others or took it on their own depending on the direction of the wind. The idea was perfect and everything was done flawlessly.”
"Speaking of which, there is nothing missing from our Hanbing Palace. There is no shortage of things sent to us, but they are all leftovers chosen by the concubines."
Her mother-in-law has never been treated like this since she gained favor from the emperor.
Aunt Di felt depressed for a while: "Your Majesty is still pregnant with your Majesty's heir, so these people dare to act like this. The old slave wanted to find a way to bring the matter to the Emperor, but because the Ministry of Internal Affairs did the matter cleverly, they continued to investigate. We don’t care either.”
"Besides, the one from Shangyang Palace is on the rise now..."
The regained favor in Shangyang Palace was a thorn in her mother's heart. Aunt Di hesitated to speak and did not dare to say any more.
Wu Chongyuan said with gloomy eyes: "Have I fallen to this level now?"
"Although the kid from Ganlu Palace is annoying, what he said makes some sense."
Wu Chongyuan said with a faint look: "Sure enough, in the Daming Palace, a place without the emperor's favor is the real cold palace."
"I am not allowed to go to the prince's residence, and Qing'er is not allowed to come to the Hanbing Palace to say hello during the Chinese New Year. Now even the Ministry of Internal Affairs dares to send some broken flowers to ridicule my broken flowers."
Wu Chongyuan felt a chill while stroking her belly: "I know that you are worried about me being pregnant, but if you hide everything from me, will the child in my belly be able to wait until the day he is born safely?"
Wu Chongyuan looked at Aunt Di.
At this point, Grandma Di knew that she could no longer hide it.
"On the day of the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, the emperor went to Shangyang Palace. I heard that there were fireworks in Shangyang Palace that night, and the emperor accompanied the person who kept the New Year's Eve."
Aunt Di complained on Wu Chongyuan's behalf: "I don't know what kind of magic that person used. From that day on, the emperor not only visited the Manlu Palace twice, but also went to Shangyang Palace when he had time to go to court. He didn't mind Shangyang Palace either. It is simple and crude, and I heard that even the memorials were moved to Shangyang Palace, which makes me feel rather reluctant to miss Shu."
"Now everyone in the palace is talking about that Shengfeng Wuer!"
Being able to be Xuanzong's favorite concubine for so long, Wu Chongyuan knew the high-ranking concubines in the palace very well.
She knew that when Queen Wang first entered the prince's palace, she was pampered for a long time. She heard that one year, in order to make her happy, his majesty actually collected all the fireworks in Luzhou City into the palace and stayed with her to stay up all night. Fireworks.
He was no longer the King of Linzi back then, but now he was the supreme emperor. He would actually set off fireworks to celebrate the New Year like a young boy for that bitch.
How do the little ghosts in Ganlu Hall confuse people's hearts?
She asked Aunt Di in a trembling voice: "I am deposed and my favor is restored. What's going on at the Ganlu Hall?"
"Because of the tenth princess, Yu Chongrong seems to have joined forces with the one from Yang Gong. Yu Chongrong has been promoted to the concubine position. I heard that it was the one from Shangyang Gong who made the precondition for the emperor."
Aunt Di was puzzled: "Yu Chongrong only has ten princesses under his knees. Originally, the old slave thought that she had been promoted to the concubine position. Yang Guifei, who had been a concubine for a long time, was definitely not convinced. Also, because the fifth prince had The emperor's favored Huangfu Xiuyi also had a grudge, but as soon as Jin Feng's decree was sent to Ganlu Hall today, the first people to rush to Ganlu Hall to congratulate him were Yang Guibi and Huangfu Xiuyi."
"There is no prince under Yu Chongrong's knees. It's okay for the virtuous concubine who has always been on good terms with Ganlu Palace to send generous gifts. Liu Jieyu, who is relatively uninterested in her position, also rushed to show her kindness. I heard that the Liu family collected famous harps and a large number of capable people. The spices used as medicine were sent to the Manna Palace."
Aunt Di was a little confused: "How on earth did the tenth princess confuse people's hearts? I can't understand it anymore and more!"
Not to mention that Aunt Di couldn’t understand, Wu Chongyuan also felt like she was going crazy!
After being deposed and resurrected, wasn't it Yu Chongrong's love that was taken away?
The kid from Ganlu Palace left his own mother and concubine alone and was willing to make wedding clothes for the king and queen, which was deviant enough.
But she remembered that when she was so favored and the emperor wanted to make her his concubine, the jealous bitch of the queen did not hesitate to turn against his majesty and tried to stop him in every possible way.
Now he has no grudge and is showing off in front of the emperor?
What's even more unbelievable is that during the time when she was raising her baby peacefully in Hanbing Palace, she often heard that Concubine Liu Xian, Yang Guifei and other concubines in the palace were close to Ganlu Palace.
When did the harem and concubines become so harmonious?
The queen who was involved in the art of victory was able to resurrect, and Yu Chongrong, who had only one princess under his knees, was able to surpass her and be directly promoted to the concubine. However, the concubines showed no signs of getting into trouble with Yu Chongrong. Wu Chongyuan felt that everything was getting worse and worse. Out of control.
"That brat in the Ganlu Palace is really the biggest anomaly in the Daming Palace. She caused the mother-son conflict between me and Qing'er, and pushed me step by step into the desperate situation I am now in."
"Concubine Shu was secretly sent to the palace in Luoyang by the emperor. Ke'er placed people around Concubine Shu and encouraged her to trick the tenth princess into Qingfeng Palace."
Wu Chongyuan asked Aunt Di: "Has there ever been any grudge between the prince and her?"
"The people we placed next to the prince said that she was rejected at the East Palace on the New Year's Eve banquet, but that kid's sweet talk actually coaxed the prince to reconcile with her."
"Are you really reconciled as before?"
Wu Chongyuan sneered: "Once the seeds of some suspicion are planted, even if everything is calm at first, clues will emerge sooner or later. I want to see how the queen, the prince, and the ten princesses are like mothers, filial piety, brothers and sisters, harmonious? "
