Lonely non-good minister

The questioning of the accused by name opened the eyes of a group of concubines. For a moment, everyone looked at Concubine Li.

Concubine Li sneered, and it was obvious that she was very angry, but Queen Shen was the lord of the middle palace, and Song Chun was the prince who held the power. She had the courage to use small tricks, but did not have the courage to contradict her face to face. She could only endure it after repeated attempts. He stood up and said, "I was confused and didn't realize that those two bitches were so unbearable and had the courage to harass the Crown Prince. Please forgive me, the Queen."

"You are not an ordinary confused person. You are an elderly person. Could it be that you have the thoughts of your youth again?" Empress Shen did not intend to be merciful. She may not be able to see through the affairs of the previous dynasty, but the harem She knows best what these women are thinking.

These people are just keeping an eye on their son's position. If they are not severely punished, if they have the courage to crowd in the East Palace today, they will be able to do even more outrageous things tomorrow.

Queen Shen refused to give her a step, and Concubine Li could only continue to apologize: "I don't dare, the Queen is sitting firmly in the middle palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to be valued by the emperor as the regent of the country, so I will give you a hundred courage, I will I don’t dare to have frivolous thoughts anymore.”

It's not easy for her to keep her attitude so low, but the more she does it, the more she is proven wrong.

Empress Shen looked at everyone with a gloomy face and reprimanded: "The emperor has been living in the palace for a long time now, and there are new people around him to serve him. We old people in the palace should know this, and know that the days of relying on favor and favor are over. From now on, no matter whether it is If you have children to rely on, you must do your duty. If someone has other thoughts and disturbs the peace of the previous dynasty and the harem, I will not tolerate it at all."

When everyone heard this, they all stood up quickly: "I, Shenjin, listen to the Queen's teachings."

After receiving a scolding early in the morning, everyone looked very bad when they left Jingyang Palace. When they arrived at the palace alley, the sedan chair that had been waiting for them hurried forward.

Concubine Li boarded the sedan chair, and after sitting firmly, she turned around and glanced at everyone. Then she looked at the quiet little Shen and sneered: "After all, the child has become promising. After so many years, he has been fighting for nothing, and now he is too lazy to act again." Right?"

She directly launched an attack in front of so many slaves in the palace alley. The other concubines couldn't help but sweat for Xiao Shen. They stopped and watched, and did not dare to move around for fear that they would become the next one to be attacked. object.

"I was just telling the truth that day. What did the imperial concubine think, and how can I control it?" Xiao Shen explained calmly, without any trace of panic on her face that she was being exposed, and she didn't feel that it was embarrassing to be attacked in public. Son.

Concubine Li laughed angrily: "You are a smart person and can see through the situation. Don't blame me for not reminding you that even though His Highness Ninth Prince has done a lot, if the Emperor doesn't like him, it will be useless. He will get married soon. He is married, but he doesn’t even have a title, and the wife he is marrying is from a lowly background. Such an in-law destined him to have no future from the beginning. It’s not wise for you to offend someone at this time.”

"It doesn't matter whether she has a title or not. As long as she diligently serves the people and is loyal to the emperor, it won't be regarded as the emperor supporting her in vain, nor will she receive her salary in vain. It doesn't matter how high or low the wife is, as long as she is virtuous and virtuous. Being able to manage the harmony between husband and wife in the back house is better than anything else. No matter how good your family background is, it is useless if you are unreasonable and unloyal." Xiao Shen's voice was extremely calm, and she didn't care about Concubine Li's criticism.

This made Concubine Li even more angry. After her expression turned a little ferocious, she didn't bother to say more to her and ordered her to leave immediately.

Xiao Shen received the ceremony respectfully and did not lose her sense of etiquette because she warned in public in the palace alley.

"Sister, this is not wise." Concubine Liu has been watching from the sidelines. Although Concubine Li did not say it clearly, she also guessed the reason for Concubine Li's anger.A slight smile appeared on Xiao Shen's face: "In the harem, no matter what choice you make, it is not wise. There are thousands of people, how can you satisfy everyone?"

"My sister has always been smart. Can't you see that the Queen's anger is not directed at the imperial concubine alone?" Concubine Liu looked like a kind person: "They are just two maids, why are they so angry? Recently, my sister has been taking care of the prince's food. Do you have to be careful?"

She had something to say, and Xiao Shen, who had suffered a loss, immediately darkened her face: "I don't understand what my sister is saying. As an elder concubine, I take care of the prince and it was arranged by the empress herself. Could it be that I can do harm to her?" Can you kill the prince?"

She ignored Concubine Liu's implication and directly revealed the dirty meaning hidden in her words.

Concubine Liu was not sure for a moment whether she really had a clear conscience or was pretending, so she could only follow her words and explain: "The Crown Prince has always taken care of His Highness the Ninth Prince. I am afraid that others may have harmful intentions to the Crown Prince, but my sister will not. I I'm just worried that the prince's health is not good, and the queen will blame it on my sister."

"How can the Queen, Shengming, tie the health of the Crown Prince to me? There are so many imperial doctors in the palace taking care of me. The soup I send every day is just for the Crown Prince to eat a few more mouthfuls. As for the treatment, The imperial doctor will take care of your illness."

Concubine Liu smiled: "That's what my sister said, but His Highness Ninth Prince is now older. My sister should also understand that it's better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else. Does my sister still remember why she entered the government back then? Now that times have changed, if I were my sister, I would definitely Make plans early, as my sister said, in the harem, no choice is wise. At the critical moment, there is no one more reliable than your children."

"I understand sister's advice." Xiao Shen's expression was normal. She and Concubine Liu did not have a close relationship.

After boarding the sedan chair and on the way back to the palace, Chunyang said: "Concubine Liu has been hiding for so long, and she happened to come out to pay her respects today. This is too coincidental. Could it be that she came to see the concubine's joke?"

"She is a smart person. Just because she can't hide doesn't mean she doesn't care about the affairs of the harem. Concubine Li dared to reach out to the East Palace and was stolen by the empress. Then there will definitely be a big drama. At this time, she will naturally want to Come here to show your loyalty."

Chunyang was a little worried: "The imperial concubine has a fiery personality. Today she has settled the blame on her. I don't know how she will be embarrassed in the future. Although our highness is stronger than those three masters, we are far away in the northwest. Really worried.”

"It doesn't matter if the soldiers come to cover up the water or the soil." Xiao Shen didn't take Concubine Li into her heart. To be honest, she was not afraid of the methods of Concubine Li and Concubine Liu. The only thing she worried about was Empress Shen.

Even though Empress Shen's methods are not clever, she is the master of the palace and has a reputation for dealing with concubines. If she is really targeted and has murderous intentions, it will be the most difficult thing to deal with.

"Today's lunch will be delivered to the East Palace personally by me."
