Cen Xijin was taken into the Queen's Palace by Liuying to recuperate.
She was able to find out some of the overt and covert struggles between the queen, the concubine, and the other concubines from the palace maids.
Queen Gu, the mother of the Crown Prince, was the first wife of Emperor Zhengxing. She was originally the daughter of a general, and her natal family was powerful and could be called the foundation of the country.
The imperial concubine Sun, who has the fifth prince and the princess Xining, entered the palace in the third year of Zhengxing. Although she is the daughter of the magistrate of Chengyang, she is very favored by Emperor Zhengxing and is well deserved to be the favorite of the sixth palace.
Concubine Xia, the concubine of De, had the eldest princess Xianrong. She was a true daughter of a scholarly family, but she had not been favored for many years and was only part of the queen's party.
The virtuous concubine Wanqi is the princess of Xizhen and is the marriage link between Xizhen and Dali.
…
Cen Xijin sat quietly on the couch, the tea in her hand was already a little warm, but she just stared at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup, and she didn't know where her mind was.
Sun Jieyu is the younger sister of Concubine Sun, and she should be considered a member of the concubine's party.
Her jade pendant was lost and the palace maids and eunuchs couldn't find it, so they relied on Cen Xijin.
Cen Xijin was beaten hard, injured and bleeding, and then fainted in Lan Ruo Pavilion's quiet room.
It was the Queen's people who came to save her.
Although, Liu Ying and the others were not really trying to save each other.
But she dare not forget the great kindness of saving her life, and she cannot forget it.
When Cen Xijin was seriously injured, the Queen reported to Your Majesty that Sun Jieyu's gold-inlaid purple jade pendant was not stolen by the little palace maid in Sashu Huajin Hall, but by Que'er, the second-class palace maid in Lanruo Pavilion, who had stolen it and secretly Give it to Liu Naijian who is next to Sun Guifei in exchange for silver.
Later, it was discovered that Liu, with the convenience of his status, had exchanged money for countless dirty palace maids and eunuchs.
Stealing is a small crime, giving and receiving privately, forming cliques for private affairs is a serious crime - letting Sun Jieyu suffer is the next best thing, the key is that even Sun Guifei can be punished.
Your Majesty is not strict!
Six months ago, the queen contracted a headache, so Emperor Zhengxing temporarily handed over the power of the Sixth Palace to Concubine Sun. But after the queen recovered, he did not let Concubine Sun return the power of the Sixth Palace to the queen.
This is obviously biased.
But now, the people around Sun Guifei have made such a big mistake, and Sun Jieyu is making a fuss mindlessly, which has become known to the whole palace. Emperor Zhengxing can no longer continue to be partial, so he has to remove the six palaces. The power was once again placed in the hands of the queen.
The fight between the concubines sounded exciting, but it only made the people below miserable.
Especially Cen Xijin, in this matter, she was really hurt - now that the ants have become chess pieces, she doesn't know how she feels in her heart.
The queen was very happy to regain the power of the Sixth Palace. Once she was in a good mood, she casually ordered Liu Ying to take Cen Xijin back to Yonghua Palace to recuperate.
After all...she is the planner of this wonderful palace fight.
Cen Xijin, the Yiyuan Hall of Yonghua Palace, is not eligible to enter.
She was placed in the most remote and secluded courtyard in the west side hall - the Shangxinyuan.
This alone has made many people envious of her blessing.
Yonghua Palace is the residence of the mother of the country, but not everyone can enter it. What's more, Cen Xijin now lives in an entire courtyard by himself.
On this day, Liu Ying came to visit. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Cen Xijin taking a sleepy nap under the tree, so he joked sourly: "Hey, red girl, you are really better than the rest of us now." It’s much more comfortable! Now, even I want to go to the empress to get a solid meal!”
Hearing this, Cen Xijin hurriedly opened his eyes, with a blush still on his face, and replied softly: "Look at what Aunt Liuying said, I ate more for lunch today than usual, so it's inevitable that I'll feel a little bored. , but it made my aunt laugh."
When Liu Ying saw Cen Xijin's silly and cautious appearance, she fell in love with him even more. She tapped Cen Xijin's nose and said with a smile: "Look at your sweet little mouth, no wonder the Queen likes you too!"
"The Emperor...the Empress also knows about me?" Cen Xijin's heart skipped a beat. Now, it seems like she's getting a little too big?
Liu Ying smiled and said nothing.
Cen Xijin took out a round carved food box from the small kitchen and said with a flattering smile: "Auntie, I made some braised food, please take it and try it."
Liu Ying opened the food box and smelled the strong and slightly spicy smell of sauced meat, but it was slightly different from the sauced pork she had eaten before. She couldn't help but said: "This is a new thing. Since you are interested, I will also I won’t refuse anymore.”
They are all smart people, and it would be boring if they were too pretentious.
Cen Xijin smiled slightly, blinked his eyes, and said, "As long as Auntie likes it."
When Liuying returned to Yiyuan Hall, she casually put aside the braised meat sent by Cen Xijin, and then she began to hold her chin up and think. The thick eyelashes trembled slightly, as if trying to hide the little thoughts under the eyes.
"Aunt! Aunt Liuying!"
"Hey, the Crown Prince is here!" Liu Ying quickly stopped thinking and put on a smile like a spring breeze.
Prince Mu Yunzheng is the only child of Emperor Zhengxing and Queen Gu. He is now six years old.
A few bright rays of sunshine shone on his round and white face. Mu Yunzheng said curiously: "Aunt, I heard them say before that in a few days, the mother will send new maids and eunuchs to Chengqian Palace. , is this true?”
Chengqian Palace is the East Palace where the prince lives.
Liu Ying smiled and asked, "What? Aren't Bee'er Die'er and the others not attentive to you?"
Mu Yunzheng paced back and forth like a little adult and sighed: "It's not that I'm not considerate, it's that they don't even want to play with me, and they don't allow me to play with the little eunuchs!"
"Your Highness, you are the Crown Prince of the East Palace, the future king of a country, how can you always think about mischief!" Even if he doesn't plan for himself, he still has to fight for the Queen. His fifth highness, Sun Guifei, is almost three years old. Okay... Liuying just kept thinking about what happened next.
However, she had some ideas in mind regarding selecting a personal maid for His Highness the Crown Prince.
She had met Wang Xiang several times.
Liu Ying thinks that, in fact, the third lady of the Shangshu Mansion is not a suitable candidate, or in other words, she is not the only candidate.
"Hey, what smells so good..." Mu Yunzheng said with a smile and found the food box placed by Liuying.
Inside is the braised meat made by Cen Xijin himself.
Yes, there is this one, Liuying smiled.
