Chapter 5 Undercurrent
The Kingdom of Cheng has long been destroyed, and all the land has been divided and annexed by other countries.

Si Ningchi just said casually, he never expected that the Imperial Seal of the Kingdom of Cheng actually existed?

Zhao Zongheng left after eating and drinking, his eyes seemed to say before he left.

Come back after dinner.

Si Ningchi took advantage of the opportunity to ask for the intention of setting up a private kitchen in Fengwu Palace. Zhao Zongheng agreed without any surprise, but after a while, the imperial chef came to visit the queen. Ning Chi was the cook of boiled pork slices.

"Slave Wu Sanxi pays homage to the empress!" Wu Sanxi kowtowed, feeling very excited and joyful. Hearing that the empress was in front of the important person, he got his name by squeezing his head out. For nothing else, he just gave him the bowl. Boiled pork slices are a big hit.

The official in the imperial dining room advised, saying that this empress is not easy to get along with, be careful not to offend the empress if she is careless, and she will never come back!

Wu Sanxi couldn't listen to the persuasion, he always made that dish in his dreams, and now he had such a good opportunity, he didn't want to let it go, so he came here in a hurry.

"When you enter the gate of Fengwu Palace, you are a member of this palace." Si Ningchi looked at Wu Sanxi with bent lips and said, "Take care of your mouth, what you can say outside, and what you can't say in your heart."

"Su Yongde, take him down." Si Ningchi waved his hands lazily.

The only advantage of passing through is probably that there is no need for any means of establishing prestige, and everyone in the palace is afraid of her and dare not do anything presumptuous.

How could Wu Sanxi not understand, Ling Ran responded respectfully in his heart.

His Majesty's several visits to Fengwu Palace have shocked everyone in the palace, and Concubine Rong's punishment today is even more shocking. In Yu'an Palace, Concubine Rong smashed a good jade bottle, almost gnashing her teeth and said: "Yesterday I heard that she cut off the jade vase. At the request of Concubine Xian, it is surprising that the emperor was diverted to Fengwu Palace."

"I didn't expect that today, she would attract the emperor to stand up for her!" She was punished to copy the scriptures. Although there is no concubine in this palace who has a sacred heart, she can be regarded as favored in this palace because of her talent and beauty. Well, the emperor never brushed off her face easily.

"Your Majesty, calm down." The maid beside her hurriedly stepped forward to appease her: "The Empress is the master of the six palaces after all, the emperor deserves some kindness."

"Isn't one empress enough!?" Concubine Rong said in a high voice, tightening the handkerchief in her hand, "Just because she is the daughter of the Si family, she can enter the central palace, she is the Si family..."

Why!
Concubine Rong is full of resentment. Many years ago, the Empress Dowager persuaded her to become a concubine. She clearly intended to become a concubine in the harem. Can be ranked in the back!
But why, why did a Shining Pond appear out of nowhere!
Danju hurriedly grabbed Concubine Rong's sleeve, nervously glanced at the people outside the hall and said: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

"The decree of the empress dowager is the last instruction of the late emperor, even the empress dowager can't disobey it easily." Danju said with a serious expression: "Now that the queen position has been decided, it's too late to say anything. Don't act foolishly, the Marquis of Xiwu is now in the court. The status is not low.

"I don't know this palace." Hearing these words, Concubine Rong calmed down a little but her eyes were still cold and said: "So what about the queen..."

"As long as you can win the Emperor's Sacred Heart, it's more important than anything else." Concubine Rong closed her eyes and clenched her fists, she would never give in so easily.

The Yu'an Palace is not stable, and the Yuning Palace is also not peaceful. Concubine De suppressed her throat and coughed, and the servants beside her were in a hurry to serve her tea and water, and said with distressed eyes: "Your Majesty is so sick, why bother today?" Go to the middle palace to pay your respects?"

Concubine De touched her lips with the handkerchief, and smiled lightly after hearing this: "If I don't go today, how can I see such a big show..."

"The empress is too domineering. The palace has always been harmonious. The empress is seriously ill and even the emperor is not allowed to come and see her. In fact..." Hong Tao pursed her lips and frowned as she said displeasedly.

"Ahem..." Concubine De couldn't help laughing. She originally had resentment in her heart, but when she thought of Concubine Rong being reprimanded by the emperor in Fengwu Palace today, she couldn't help laughing. She couldn't get used to Rong the most. Concubine like that.

The concubines in the harem have never been favored by the emperor, but Concubine Rong claims to be favored, and she is born in the prime minister's house, which is even more superior, and she is used to coaxing the queen mother.

She has no place in the position of the fourth concubine, but relying on the majesty of the queen mother, she is ignored.

It is a joy to see Concubine Rong being punished in front of the emperor today.

"Send someone to the Sizan Bureau to talk about it. Our concubine Rong would not see someone who is not careful in doing things." Concubine De bent her lips and smiled slightly: "Let Dianyi search carefully, and take all the scriptures that have not been copied completely. Let Concubine Rong take a good look at it and copy it again."

"After all... this is the emperor's will." The smile on Concubine De's lips widened, and Hongtao instantly understood when she heard the words, and quickly bent over to agree.

Si Ningchi has not yet noticed how undercurrents are surging in the palace.

because……

"The Empress Dowager summoned?" Before Si Ning Chi could lie down, someone came from Ci'an Palace.

"Maybe it's for the ceremony of praying for rain tomorrow?" Su Yun was also a little puzzled, and whispered after thinking for a while.

"..."

Ci'an Palace is not as simple as Fengwu Palace, it is simply more luxurious, not like the residence of the Empress Dowager at all.

Today's Empress Dowager Cui is not the emperor's biological mother, nor is she a adoptive mother. She is just a successor. There is no half-hearted friendship between mother and child. It is even rumored that the "death" of the emperor's biological mother is mostly caused by Cui. This woman is used to acting, so far she has not shown any flaws .

The emperor didn't even pretend to dislike the queen mother, he never came to pay her respects to the queen mother, let alone the condolences that should be given during the holidays.

However, the emperor was satisfied with everything about the Empress Dowager's daily life and care, so there was such a magnificent Ci'an Palace.

"The concubine pays homage to the empress dowager." Si Ningchi bowed his head to salute, and when he raised his eyes slightly, he could see the young woman sitting on the main seat, wearing a luxurious dress and rich makeup. This is the empress dowager of the Tianqing Kingdom. less than 30 years old.

Empress Dowager Cui raised her eyes to look at Si Ningchi, and there was inevitably a bit of jealousy in her eyes looking at her.

It really looks like that woman...

Empress Dowager Cui withdrew her gaze, and said casually: "Aijia heard that today the emperor rewarded the empress with the jasper and glazed orb?"

Si Ningchi: "..."

It's not just a broken bead, why take it out and talk about it over and over again! ! !
"Yes, the concubine looked good, so I ordered someone to take it to beat the phoenix crown." Si Ningchi bent his lips and looked at Empress Dowager Cui and said, "The empress dowager likes it? The concubine..."

"The Ai family is not going to snatch things from you." Mrs. Cui's expression was hidden behind her, and her eyes were also a little angry. She seemed to be very displeased with Si Ningchi's ignorance, and the corners of her lips tightened as she stared at Si Ning Chi said: "It's just that I never thought that the emperor would reward you with the orb."
