Chapter 224 The Queen's Calculation

Thinking of this, Nalan Xinli's eyes widened.

Now in this harem, the only ones who really cannot be controlled by the queen are her and Sister Liu. Although Sister Liu is grounded, her favor has to be feared by the queen.

As for her, Nalan Xinli, although she is staying behind closed doors now, her child is well protected. There have been endless ways to secretly poison the child in her womb these days. no more.

That is to say, the queen is still most afraid of her, even if she stays behind closed doors now, she still thinks she is the biggest threat!

"Sister, do you mean that the queen has hope for her younger sister to enter the palace?" Nalan Xinli whispered.

Jun Liuyi smiled softly when she heard the words, and she said slowly: "Since the queen can control Concubine Qi and Concubine Xian to check and balance each other, what should I do to you? What is the relationship between you and this palace?" It's not that the queen doesn't know each other's sincerity, but it's impossible for you and me to check and balance each other, the queen knows this very well."

Jun Liuyi took a sip of tea and continued: "For the empress, it is not the biggest threat for me to be favored again, and your favor is because of me, so you will naturally understand how to maintain a good relationship with me. Once you and I are like grasshoppers on a rope, we are both honored and humiliated. But your sister is different."

She sighed and said, "The favored person in the harem has become another person, you and your sister are both the daughters of the prime minister, and whoever is favored by you will get the support of your father, so your fight will check and balance each other. "

Nalan Xinli nodded silently, because of this, his father sent his sister to the palace at this time.

She asked with some concern: "But sister, if it's like this, isn't there no other way? Now that Xinli appears and returns to favor, what can I do?"

Hearing this, Jun Liuyi smiled lowly.

"Xinli, have you ever thought about why the Queen has such considerations?"

Jun Liuyi gave her a comforting smile, and explained after a long time: "In the queen's thinking, if your sister and your sister are deeply in love, then your father will not send her into the palace. Listen to me The younger sister of the queen is also on the list of show girls. On the surface, she knows that sisters are deeply affectionate. In this official family, how many sisters are really affectionate? Aren't Concubine Qi and Concubine Xian also someone else before? Are the sisters in your eyes deeply affectionate?"

Nalan Xinli understood more about Concubine Qi.

When Concubine Qi first entered the palace, she had a sisterly affection for Concubine Xian, but it changed once she was favored.

The reputation of these people is very important, so even if there is a difference in family status, they will always be like brothers and friends in the eyes of outsiders.

It was also because of this that the queen wanted to bring her sister into the palace.

"If this is the case, wouldn't it be the best to just let the queen know that I am looking forward to my sister entering the palace?" Nalan Xinli suddenly realized.

"So your comeback will make the queen worry and jealous. But if you choose this way, you have to be more careful about the child in your womb, and it will be born in a few months. The more you are at the last moment, the more you will You have to be careful." Jun Liuyi instructed.

"Sister, don't worry, Xinli has dealt with a lot these days." Nalan Xinli replied.

Jun Liuyi nodded, and after explaining a few words to Xinli, she went back to rest.

In the imperial study room, Sikong Qimo pursed his lips and flapped his lips to deal with the memorial.

When I saw the memorials in certain places, I sometimes frowned and sometimes felt displeased.

Zhang Chengshou waited carefully on the sidelines. Dealing with Xie Fu was just to scare chickens and monkeys. The sequelae left by the official family are not so easy to deal with. Although there are not as many obstacles in the implementation of the New Deal, it is still not satisfactory. , the emperor has already begun to look for and inspect some poor students, and there are many more things going on now than before.

The leader of the hidden guards of Lianyun Palace also arrived at the Imperial Study Room at this time.

Since Jun Liuyi became pregnant, Sikong Qimo seldom went to Lianyun Palace, and occasionally went there secretly but no one knew about it.

The dark guards guarding the Lotus Cloud Palace have been hiding in the dark, and Wen Dong, the leader of the dark guards of the Lotus Cloud Palace, will come to report everything at this time every day.

Zhang Cheng and Wen Dong were both Sikong Qimo's companions since he was a child. Compared with Zhang Cheng, Wendong was luckier than Zhang Cheng because he was Sikong Qimo's cousin and a military commander. So Xie Fu didn't dare to act rashly at that time. After all, the Wen family The prestige in the army is also something even Xie Fu fears.

As far as Sikong Qimo is concerned, only by entrusting Junliuyi's safety to Wendong can he feel at ease.

Regarding the matter of Lianyun Palace, he listened patiently to every detail.

Seeing Wen Dong's arrival, Zhang Cheng hurried in to report.

When Wen Dong arrived at the imperial study, Sikong and Qi Mo hadn't finished approving the memorial.

"Your Majesty." Wen Dong saluted.

"No, there is no need to be so polite in private." Sikong Qi Mo waved his hand.

Putting the memorial in his hand aside, Sikong Qi Mo raised his head and asked, "How is she today?"

"I don't seem to be in a good mood today." Knowing that he cared about Jun Liuyi, Wen Dong also took the initiative to explain the frowning of Jun Liuyi in the Lianyun Hall after Nalan Xinli went to visit.

"Concubine Xingui and her are considered good sisters in the palace, and they won't be the ones who will cause trouble for her. Did you and Xiaowu know why?" Sikong Qi Mo frowned.

After hearing Jun Liuyi and Nalan Xinli discuss about Xiu Nu, Sikong Qi Mo also fell silent.

"It seems that the queen of this year's show is very manipulative." Sikong Qi Mo snorted coldly.

"The Mu family has always wanted to eradicate dissidents. On the surface, it seems that they are sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, but in fact they secretly collude with the ministers to issue orders." Mentioning the Mu family, Wen Dong sneered and was full of disgust.

Over the years, the secret guards have been operating in the dark, and it's not that they haven't collected those shady activities, but they have to plan secretly because they are so involved.

"I have my own way to control Concubine Qi. As for the situation where the harem is competing with each other..." Sikong Qi Mo raised a bloodthirsty smile and half-closed his eyes, "The Queen thinks that Concubine Gonggui and Concubine Fugui are not a problem, so then I will add a fire."

Seeing the master's smile like this, both Zhang Cheng and Wen Dong knew that the queen was going to be exhausted.

Every three years, there will be court ladies of the right age who can leave the palace, and at this time, palace maids will be selected to replace them before the draft.

According to Jun Liuyi's order, Chunliu went to the House of Internal Affairs to select palace servants, but was stopped by Li Han halfway.

"My servant has seen General Li." Chunliu hurriedly saluted, but Li Han grabbed her up.

"General Li!" Chunliu exclaimed, but was taken to a secluded place by Li Han.

It's been a long time since we saw each other. When Li Han saw Chunliu again, his excitement was undoubted, but after seeing Chunliu's politeness, his heart became uncontrollably manic.
