There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 220 The first year of Heqing
After serving the emperor, all the sisters in the harem will be lost. In the future, who will take you to enjoy the flowers, who will take you to discuss beautiful clothes, and who will be your best friend.

Men and sisters can only choose the same. For the sake of long-term peace and stability in the future, everyone ruthlessly abandoned the emperor one after another.

Sigh, money can really make people corrupt, as long as you please the empress, everyone has everything, right?
"Anyway, I don't want to argue. Let's see what happens to Concubine Tao and Concubine Du, and what happens to Concubine Xian. What are we planning?"

"That's right, it's better not to fight. I don't even want children now. With so many beautiful clothes, how can I wear them when I'm pregnant, and how can I wear them if my body is out of shape after giving birth?"

"The matter of giving birth to a prince should be left to the empress. If it comes out of a mother's belly, there will be no future fights!"

"Anyway, I've had enough fighting. We are on the side of the empress anyway. No matter what, the future new emperor will have to recognize us as a concubine. I, just being a graceful and luxurious old lady in this palace is fine." good!"

The more everyone talked, the happier they were, and they all envied those leisurely old concubines in Ning'an Palace.

If you are lonely, you can raise a cat, raise flowers and grow grass, embroider flowers and bask in the sun, eat delicious food and drink for a stable life, how wonderful it is.

"Hahaha……"

The concubines and concubines in the harem laughed and quarreled quickly, and the harem of the Great Xia Dynasty was actually in harmony with each other.

……

Gao Bin's technique is in place, just like when he was in Yuqing Palace back then.

Tang Wanning quickly fell asleep, and when she woke up again, Gao Bin was still beating her legs with a beauty, and she felt a little guilty for a while.

"Don't press it and take a rest, today is the first day of the new year, why don't you have some fun!"

"The concubine was born as a slave, so there is no need for any fun. If the empress hadn't been promoted, the concubine would never be where she is today. It is the greatest blessing for the concubine to serve the empress!"

Concubine Gao was very smart, she knew from the very beginning that the emperor was unreliable, she followed Tang Wanning back then, and no matter what happened to her for so many years, she never changed.

She has nothing to change, she has no favor, no family background, and no status, and she doesn't have to work hard to fight for favor, so that her children will suffer in the future.

It's better to follow the empress and live this life safely, that's enough.

"I know you're fine!" Tang Wanning patted her hand with some hesitation.

"In the whole palace, only you and I have spent the longest time. After the downfall of Concubine Xian, the burden of managing the harem will fall on you!"

"I'll ask the emperor to decree to promote you as a concubine in the future, and you can choose another trustworthy helper to help you. I won't take care of it, as long as you are satisfied!"

"This harem matter, I am really powerless!"

"Thank you Empress Empress, I will do my best!" Gao Concubine was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

Concubine position, this is a position that she never dared to think about in her whole life. From now on, she will be the dignified second-rank master and empress in this palace. Who would dare to think about such an honor?
"You don't need to thank you, you are talented and capable, and you are careful and meticulous in your work. I am very assured of you!" Tang Wanning smiled.

The matter of managing the harem is actually similar to that of the court, the most important thing is to know people and be good at their duties.

……

After seeing Concubine Gao off, Xia Houjue came in reeking of alcohol before he could rest.

Xia Houjue's eyes blurred after sobering up one night, "Wanwan, this year is the first year of Heqing, this year is the first year of Qinghe!"

He hugged her, leaned close to her ear and laughed, laughing, his eyes were red, and a tear fell down, just falling on Tang Wanning's palm.

"It would be great if my mother was still here!"

"The Empress Dowager Jingmin is watching you from the sky!" Tang Wanning felt a little distressed.

A child without a mother is like a weed, and it makes me sad to think about it. Just imagine if my mother... Forget what kind of nonsense this is, my mother is doing well.

"Wan Wan, you don't know how I've lived all these years?" Xia Houjue was slightly drunk, hugged her and lay on the soft fox fur couch, whispering intermittently in her ear.

Tang Wanning's heart skipped a beat: "This is the first time you have complained to someone!"

Xia Houjue seemed not to have heard her, and continued, "My mother often told me: Man, don't cry, don't cry!"

"When she died, I just didn't cry, and I haven't cried since, but I can't laugh anymore."

"From childhood to adulthood, the courtiers have called me a cold-faced prince, saying that I can't laugh, and that I'm like an ice cube"

"However, they are quite smart. The prince who is cold-faced is the prince who is cold-faced. They know that I have the world in my heart. Some old ministers from the grandfather generation even treat me as their grandson in private."

Xia Houjue, who was slightly drunk, obviously talked more, one after another.

"It was really difficult at that time. The queen covered the sky with one hand, and even my father didn't dare to look good to me. He said that he taught me personally and valued it very much, but in fact, my father didn't teach me anything. He didn't even look at it. Don't even look at me!"

"Ah?" Then you are really miserable, Tang Wanning thought to herself, just a child of a few years old, not a fairy.

It is typical for him to have a stepmother and a stepfather. The stepfather doesn't care about it, and occasionally he cares about it for the sake of fame.

In such an environment, how could Xia Houjue trust others? If he trusted others easily, the mother and child would have been reunited long ago, and the grass would have grown taller on the grave.

Having said that, under the siege and interception of Queen Qin, Xia Houjue was able to fight his way out with all his strength and firmly grasp the support of the courtiers, which made Tang Wanning very admired, really admired.

"It's not easy!" She felt a little pain in her heart, like a needle prick.

"At that time, all the women around me had backgrounds, and almost all of them were the Queen's spies!"

"In order not to arouse the queen's suspicion, Gu had no choice but to lie down and pamper them, but he couldn't let them stay by his side for too long, so he put on a lecherous face, and all the women who were pampered were left behind!"

"The empress never gives up, and will always replace a new batch of newcomers as quickly as possible. This is how she has lived alone for so many years!"

"Originally, Gu's concubine was also chosen by the queen, but Gu didn't want to be at her mercy, so he chose the Meng family. At that time, the Meng family and the Qin family were fighting against each other. I knew she was at least not the queen's person, so I pretended to like her very much. Propose to the emperor!"

"The empress tried her best to obstruct it, for fear that I would marry the Meng family. Later... in the end, the emperor softened his heart a little. He didn't listen to the empress's advice, nor my thoughts, and pointed you to me!"

"At that time, I didn't understand Father's painstaking efforts. Now I suddenly understand that Father is secretly paving the way for me. He has been emperor for so many years and has been confused for so many years. He still has some ideas in his heart!"

"He didn't dare to resist the queen for so many years, but he still got tough for me..."
