The queen was too lazy to expose her lie, hiding the sarcasm in her lowered eyes, and raised her hand to signal Qingdai to close the door.
Then he asked casually: "Concubine Liang is here in such a hurry today. What do you want to tell me about?"
Hearing this, Liang Concubine couldn't hold back her anger again. She leaned forward slightly and said, "Has the Queen heard what happened last night?"
Before the queen could speak, Liang Bi couldn't wait to speak out.
"Last night Ning promised to stay with him, but the emperor actually let her stay in the Yangxin Palace. This morning he mentioned her as a permanent presence. Even Yi Guiren did not have such a blessing. Among the new entrants to the palace, only Ning agreed to be promoted. According to my concubine, I am afraid that this person will be great in the future."
The queen half-closed her eyes, holding a Buddhist bead in her left hand, and supporting her head with her right hand. She felt Liang Bin's series of words hitting her head like beads, causing a burst of pain.
She couldn't help frowning and said: "Liang Bi, you have stayed in Qiandi for nine years and entered the palace for one year. How come you lose your sense of proportion when a new person is favored?"
Seeing Liang Bin groaning and looking like she wanted to argue but couldn't say anything, the queen added: "From the day of the draft, I knew that Ning Changzai was not a thing in the pool. The emperor liked it, so he held it. If you're not happy, she has her own place to go, why should you be panicking here?"
With these words, Liang Bin's face was pressed to the ground.
But it just so happened that being a higher-ranking official was overwhelming. No matter how much Concubine Liang cursed in her heart, she still had to respectfully greet the Queen on her face.
As long as the empress is here for one day, and her natal family behind her, Mrs. Li, is here for one day, and the eldest prince doesn't do anything too outrageous, he can become the last person to sit in that position.
Then Concubine Liang had to fawn over the queen.
Who said she didn't have the emperor's favor, a powerful natal family, or a son who could make her a queen mother?
Thinking like this, Liang Concubine could only quietly squeeze the handkerchief in her hand and whisper a yes.
Seeing that she had endured it, the queen glanced sideways at Qingdai. The latter understood what was going on and said, "The queen had a nightmare last night. She is dizzy today and will have to take a nap later. If anything happens to Liang Bin, please come back next time." Come again."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation.
Concubine Liang swallowed her suffocated breath, gave a decent smile, and saluted, "Then I won't disturb the queen's rest. I will leave."
As soon as they left, Qingdai immediately called the maid in to clean the tea set used by Concubine Liang.
She walked around behind the queen and gently kneaded her shoulders.
"You have served me for many years, and you are becoming more and more eloquent." A sincere smile rarely appeared on the queen's face, even when facing the emperor, it was rare in these years.
Qing Dai is a domestic servant. She has been told by her parents since she was a child that she must be loyal to her master. Real money and silver cannot compare to her master's praise.
Hearing this, he naturally felt happy.
"It's better to be taught by the empress. Without the guidance of the empress, Qing Dai would still be as ignorant as a child."
Qingdai's words were true. What she experienced in the royal family was probably beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
With the movements of her hands, she leaned into the Queen's ear and whispered: "Concubine Liang does not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. I guess it was because the Emperor had summoned the old man a few days ago. She finally got the opportunity to sleep with her. In the blink of an eye, Just look at Ning Chang staying at the Yangxin Hall.
Half happy, but feeling aggrieved, he came to complain to the empress and wanted her to take action to cure Ning Changzai. "
How could the Queen not know about Concubine Liang's little thoughts? What the women in the palace seek all day long is not just the Emperor's favor. It's boring to fight for it, and they only have the same means to come and go.
As for the old people, they all thought that they could give birth to a prince, and together with them, the tide would rise, and they would still be able to compete in the future.
Regardless of what Concubine Liang usually thinks of the second princess, if she really had a son, she might not even be able to remember which way the door of the second princess's residence opened.
But if she wants to use her own hands to deal with others, she doesn't use her brain. Think about it, did her nine years as Crown Princess and one year as Queen go in vain? If you are not generous, how can you hold the phoenix crown on your head?
The queen didn't care at all how those people fought, let alone what Liang Concubine said about her behind her back. What she cared about now was another thing.
"Jin'er is still not doing things well. Have you packed up everything I asked you to clean up?"
"The slaves are all done. I guarantee that no one will think of the eldest prince. What is said to the outside world is that the palace maid fell into the well and drowned after getting up at night."
The queen nodded and said: "Jin'er is soft-hearted. As his mother, I have to help him with some things. But if you become an emperor, you can't keep that soft-heartedness."
An idea flashed through Qingdai's mind, and she leaned over to confirm with the queen, "What the empress means is..."
"He is serving an eunuch named Guang'an? I heard that he has parents? Give his parents some money."
The queen gave the order lightly, and Qingdai took the order and left Kunning Palace.
Concubine Liang finally returned to Jingyang Palace holding her breath. As soon as she entered the house, she asked Ling Lang to close the door.
As soon as the door was closed, Liang Concubine immediately vented all the anger she had suffered in Kunning Palace.
But he didn't let his anger completely occupy his mind, and he still knew how to speak softly.
"She is sitting firmly on the high platform, looking at the people below us as if she were fighting crickets, and she said in which round should I be flustered? If it weren't for the eldest prince, I think she would be worse than the lowest-ranking Ji Yaosheng."
"We old people all came out of the dormitory together. Back then, we fought harder than the other. She is doing better now. She doesn't have the appearance of a Bodhisattva, so she pretends to be compassionate!"
"Who doesn't know that she is not favored by the emperor? Without the eldest prince and Mrs. Li, I wonder what is left of her!"
Liang Bin scolded her so loudly that Ling Lang, who was waiting on her side, wished she could dig a hole in the ground and bury herself alive.
None of the words touched human ears, and I felt a chill on my neck after listening to it.
Finally, when Concubine Liang had finished cursing, Ling Lang stepped forward and poured some tea, and said comfortingly: "Getting angry will hurt your health. Please think on the bright side, your Majesty. The emperor has finally begun to call upon the old man. It's better than Yi Guiren being the only one in power."
Linglang's words touched Liang Bin's heart.
She picked up the tea and took a sip to moisten her dry throat. Thinking of something, she raised a proud but secretly vicious smile at the corner of her mouth.
"Yes, no matter how favored Mr. Yigui is, he still can't get what he can't get. Now that the emperor has someone else in his eyes, life will naturally be much easier. I have to let the imperial doctor take good care of him. Once you have it, there will be a second time. , I don’t believe it anymore, how could this prince not be born in my belly?”
Ling Lang's heart tightened when he saw his master's expression, and he broke into a cold sweat in the late autumn.
Ever since Yi Guiren won the emperor's favor, she hadn't seen her master show this look for a long time.
