Chapter 11 Let's watch it.
—then,
The imperial concubine came to her, without saying a word, and gave her a haughty look.
And then,
But Bihuai scolded fiercely:

"When you see the imperial concubine, you are still not polite. Do you not know the rules in this palace? Didn't the mother teach you?"

The bamboo warbler trembled in fright, and immediately saluted and said in a trembling voice:

"Slave servants see the imperial concubine and empress, and the empress is blessed and safe."

however,
At this time, the imperial concubine had passed the two of them without seeing them, and sat down on the chair in front of her.
I see,

Lady Xi ordered calmly, "Zhuying, quickly serve tea to the imperial concubine..."

After the words fell, she walked in front of the other party, squatted down and saluted:
"If you see the imperial concubine, the empress, the empress is blessed and safe."

The imperial concubine put on airs coldly, and raised her hand after a few seconds of silence:

"Get up."

Mr. Xi stood up neatly, and then asked with doubts:

"I don't know, empress, what's the matter with Lai Ruoyi?"

"My sister has just entered the palace, so I come to see where my sister lives, but are you still used to it?"

The imperial concubine spoke very naturally, and looked around arrogantly.

And when he heard the other party's words, he smiled lightly:
"Oh, it's okay, but I'm a little bored, and I don't know what the sisters in the palace do on weekdays?"

Mr. Xi's pretended relaxed attitude made the imperial concubine chuckle and said:

"It seems that sister, on weekdays, is more fun."

"Yeah, I feel bored in the mansion on weekdays, and run out of the mansion every day. No, my father said that the palace is interesting, so I came here. But after I came, I found that it was also boring. Apart from looking at flowers, I still look at flowers, hey The empress has been in the palace for a long time, there must be something interesting, I don’t know if I would like to share it with Ruoyi.”

These words immediately made the imperial concubine stunned, thinking that this girl wants to be protected by this palace?But it’s not impossible to think about it again in the blink of an eye.

She said contemptuously:

"It seems that my younger sister is here to have fun in the palace. Then at another day, at the tea party, I will invite my younger sister to have fun together..."

Xi Guiren instantly clapped his hands excitedly:
"That's a good relationship. Ruoyi will thank you first. My lady is the first person in this palace to see Ruoyi. She is very flattered. From now on, Ruoyi will rely on you, my lady. I don't know my lady." Will you despise Ruoyi?"

The continuous courteous words really made the imperial concubine's eyes flash with astonishment,
But soon he calmed down and said:
"How could it be? Since my younger sister is willing to become a member of this palace, I am naturally willing to do so. It's just my younger sister. If you have other ambitions, you should tell your older sister."

The last imperial concubine did not forget, and began to test the other party.

But Mr. Xi immediately waved his hands, and said with a ferocious expression:
"No, no, how dare you have any ambitions."

The imperial concubine listened, and tried again:

"Really? Xu Shaofu didn't tell my sister what to order?"

"Really not, Daddy just let Ruoyi get into trouble..."

The imperial concubine's eyes were dubious, and there was a faint smile on her face.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Xi watched the imperial concubine leave.
After the other party walks through the door,

Mr. Xi, who was stiff in laughter, immediately began to soften with his hands,

And said: "Play me dead."

Zhu Ying looked at her with eyes of admiration, and praised:

"Miss, the more you speak, the better your words are, and the more you act, the more you act like it. You scared the bamboo warbler to death just now."

Mr. Xi gave a blank look:
"Acting is really tiring, I have to recharge my batteries, but this imperial concubine is really easy to coax."

"Wouldn't that be great, my ears are soft, so the young lady can live a more peaceful life in the palace, right?"

After finishing speaking, she followed Mr. Xigui inside.

-

The imperial concubine who returned to the bedroom suddenly sneezed.

Bi Huai hurriedly asked nervously, "Ma'am, did you catch a cold?"

"No problem."

Hearing this, Bi Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and said immediately:

"Your Majesty, I see that nobleman Xi, his teeth are very eloquent, and his mind is not necessarily pure."

Faced with Bihuai's question, the imperial concubine said calmly:
"Now, I don't see any ambition, but it's more fun."

"Then, the empress thinks of her as a younger sister?"

Smiling contemptuously: "Let's just watch."

"Oh." Bi Huai nodded dumbly.

——the other side at this time.
The empress dowager summoned Xu Shaoxian alone,
Nearly fifty years old, he has gray hair, a thin body, half a palm of silver-white beard reaching his shoulders, and a sly look on his face, but at this moment he seems a little reserved.
He bowed slightly and looked up at the empress dowager sitting on the couch.

Immediately after listening, the other party said contemptuously:

"Cousin, you have to be smart and let Tuo'er get the military power as soon as possible. As long as the military power is in the hands of the Liu family for a day, the position of prime minister must be Liu Zhongshu."

Although Xu Shaoxian was the queen mother's cousin and was awarded the post of grand teacher, his son Xu Tuo was also a general in Yingguan, and he had wanted to take over the Liu family for a long time, so there was a good opportunity in front of him.

Xu Shaoxian responded respectfully:

"I understand, please rest assured, the Queen Mother, I will definitely find a way to let Tuo'er get the military power."

The Queen Mother nodded with satisfaction:

"As for the child Ruoyi, it depends on what the emperor announces her to sleep with."

"Hey, everything is under your orders, the Queen Mother."

At this time, Xu Taixian already felt that he was sure of everything, and secret joy welled up in his heart.

The Empress Dowager then said a little wearily:

"Go back."

Xu Shaoxian responded tactfully: "The little minister will leave first."

After speaking, he quietly withdrew.

Wait, after he leaves,
Lianyi pinched the Queen Mother's shoulder and said thoughtfully:

"Empress Dowager, I heard that Xu Ruoyi has a very bad temper. Yesterday, the imperial concubine also went to see her in person."

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager wasn't surprised at all, she was well aware of Chen Yan's actions in the harem,
A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It seems that this Yan'er is afraid that the Queen's position will fall into her hands."

Lianyi laughed together: "What the queen mother said is that the servant has heard one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

Seeing the queen mother agreeing, Lianyi boldly replied:
"Slaves often hear rumors in the harem that you have high hopes for the imperial concubine, for the position of empress."

The empress dowager turned her head and glanced at Lianyi, she was not angry, but frowned:
"Yan'er is not bad. Although her temper is a bit domineering, she doesn't have so many tricks. His father, as Minister of the Ministry of War and a confidant of Ai's family for many years, does have the heart to help her, but outsiders are outsiders after all. If Fanbiao's niece enters the palace, then she can't take advantage of outsiders, but the emperor is very obsessed with Concubine Jing."

"As far as this servant knows, Imperial Concubine Jing doesn't seem to have any intention of being a queen."

I saw that the queen mother smiled meaningfully,
Seeing this, Lianyi couldn't help but probe:

"Could it be, Empress Dowager, what do you think, Concubine Jing?"

"The emperor has favored so many concubines, but has no heirs. Someone must be playing tricks in the dark. Concubine Jing looks gentle, but she may not be really clean."

As soon as these words came out, Lianyi realized something,
With an idea: "Queen Mother, if so, yes."

He didn't say the following words, but made a movement of wiping his neck with his hands.

The empress dowager looked at it, but did not respond, but her face was cold and heavy.
