Harem Changwu Biography

Chapter 33

"The empress dowager forgives the sin. The slave knows his mistake. If the slave then goes back to Chuxiu Palace, the empress dowager atones." After being reprimanded by Qihe, An Fulai immediately knelt down and confessed his sin.

When I saw this, I didn't look at him, but winked at Qihe.

"No." Qihe turned around and left the Changwu Hall after I looked away.

After Qihe left, I looked coldly at An Fulai, who was still kowtow and pleaded guilty, and kept silent.

Qihe didn't leave for a long time, and returned soon.

"Empress Dowager, my servants have heard that there are three people from the Chuxiu Palace who asked for an order, but Han Zhaoyi was the only one who actually asked Wang Sizan for an order." After entering the palace, Qihe blessed me and said.

"Han Yuting?" I snorted coldly and asked.

"Queen Mother, yes." Qi He replied.

"Have you met Chang Ruo and Qi Xiayun before Han Yuting asked for the order?" I asked.

"Queen Mother, I have seen it before." Qi He replied.

"Did Han Yuting take the initiative to meet Qiu Changruo and Qi Xiayun? Or did Changruo and the others take the initiative to meet Han Yuting?" I asked again.

"It was Han Zhaoyi who went to Qiu Zhaoyi and Qi Zhaoyi first." Qi He replied, and then said: "But Han Zhaoyi only went to chat with Qiu Zhaoyi and Qi Zhaoyi at the beginning, and the first person who asked to greet the queen mother was, " Qihe stopped after saying this.

I smiled when I saw this, and asked, "Is it Chang Ruo?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, yes."

"Sure enough." I laughed when I heard the words, not surprised by this result.

"Qihe, what do you think about this?" I looked at Qihe and asked.

After hearing my words, Qi He frowned first, and then said: "I'm too impatient."

After hearing what Qihe said, I smiled again, "Isn't it?"

Chang Ruo and the others are not because they are too impatient.

In fact, Changruo's purpose of going out today is really easy to guess, it's nothing more than Mingqi didn't invite anyone to sleep last night, which made them anxious.

Especially Chang Ruo.

Even before this morning, I thought Mingqi would call Chang Ruo to bed last night, let alone Chang Ruo, the person involved?

However, Mingqi did not invite anyone to sleep last night.

Changruo is impatient, but she also knows that even though Mingqi likes her, it is Mingqi's choice whether to invite someone to sleep with her, and it is not her turn to be a beautiful girl to talk about her.

Chang Ruo didn't dare to go directly to Mingqi, so he went to me, the Queen Mother.

This is exactly where Chang Ruo shouldn't be anxious.

Chang Ruo was born in a famous family, and she has learned many rules since she was a child. After confirming that she will enter the palace last year, I also sent a nun to the Qiu Mansion to teach her the rules of the palace.

Chang Ruo, who has learned the rules, should know that Xiu Nu has no right to greet the Queen Mother before she is favored by the Emperor.

But Chang Ruo, who knew the rules, still urged Han Yuting and Qi Xiayun to ask for an order.

If Chang Ruo would do this, it wouldn't be because she forgot that I was also the Empress Dowager, and I wasn't someone she could remind me at will.

If it looks like this, it's just that I, the Queen Mother, have never been taken seriously.

Chang Ruo and I were born in the Qiu family, and the age difference is less than two years.

Although we grew up together in Qiu's family, the relationship between the two of us has been bad since we were young.

And the reason, of course, was because of Aunt Lu.

Because of me, although Chang Ruo's status as a concubine's daughter remains the same, I'm not Chang Ruo.

Because of Aunt Lu, Chang Ruo's mother had to accept the fact that her father already had a concubine when she came in, and she was also an aunt who had her father's first child and was supported by her grandmother.

So both Changruo and her mother hate Aunt Lu and me.

Because of this, my father, who was just indifferent to Aunt Lu and me, gradually became disgusted under their various provocations.

In the end, not long after my grandmother passed away, I even let Qiu Li throw me and Aunt Lu into the most remote remote courtyard, and the daily expenses were always deducted.

Not only does Chang Ruo dislike me, but she also thinks that she is a legitimate daughter and has been loved by her father, so she feels that she is superior to me since she was a child, and she has looked down on me since she was a child.

And this point, even if I entered the palace and became the empress dowager, it has not changed.

Don't look at the way that Ruo Ruo saw me seeming to respect me a few days ago, it was just pretending to be intimate in front of Ming Qi.

I look down on my Chang Ruo, because the queen mother is me, so she doesn't take the rule of "not to ask for peace before you are favored" at all.

I think, before Changruo entered the palace, she should have heard from her mother that I entered the palace for her.

As Du said, it was an abandoned son that the Qiu family took out to deal with the late emperor.

So Changruo should have thought about it, now that she has Mingqi's favor, it will not be difficult to give birth to a prince and heir for Mingqi.

Then he thought that after she gave birth to the prince for Mingqi, with her beauty and family background, it would be a sure thing that she would be crowned Empress in the future.

Because of this, Chang Ruo will feel that since she is a future queen who is in the emperor's favor and may give birth to a prince for the emperor at any time, there is no need to obey the rules for me, a queen mother who is not related to the emperor.

In particular, I, the queen mother, is still a concubine and an outcast of the Qiu family who has always been looked down upon by her.

But Chang Ruo is cautious. Although she doesn't take me seriously, she knows how to protect herself.

Therefore, she did not directly ask Wang Sizan for an order, but provoked Han Yuting and Qi Xiayun.

In this way, even if this matter was finally exposed, it would not be her who was at fault, after all, she was not the one who spoke to Wang Sizan.

"Let Aijia guess, Qi Xiayun must have stopped Chang Ruo after he asked for peace, right?" After laughing at Chang Ruo's self-righteousness, I asked Qihe again.

"The queen mother expected well." Qi He nodded after listening to my words, and replied.

"But even though she opened her mouth, she just gave a few words of persuasion. After Chang Ruo said that she would definitely tell me to let the emperor summon the maids to bed, and under Han Yuting's earnest eyes, in the end because she didn't want Chang Ruo to be with her Han Yuting and the two were disappointed, so they reluctantly agreed to come and pay their respects?" I asked again.

"Yes." Qihe nodded again and replied.

"But although they agreed, they said in the end that they were afraid of Wang Sizan and did not dare to talk to Wang Sizan, and then praised Han Yuting for being brave and asked Han Yuting to talk to Wang Sizan?"

"Returning to the Queen Mother, that's exactly the case." Qi He replied.

But I laughed right after she finished speaking, because I was still not surprised by this.

Qi Xiayun is smart, she will not fail to see Chang Ruo's provocation, and she will not be ignorant that their request for peace is against the rules.

Qi Xiayun's meeting complied with Chang Ruo's proposal, but he used this incident to ask for directions.

Qi Xiayun wants to know, what is my attitude towards the Qiu family and Chang Ruo, the queen mother who personally ordered Chang Ruo to enter the palace to participate in the draft, but rejected the invitation of the mistress of the Qiu Palace, Mrs. Li, to enter the palace years ago.

If I care about Qiu's family and Changruo, then I will naturally agree to the three of them coming to Changwu Hall to pay their respects, and I won't care about their breaking the rules.

In the same way, if the waiter asks me to remind Mingqi to summon a beautiful maid to sleep, I will definitely agree to persuade Mingqi to call someone to sleep.

More likely, they could meet Mingqi who also came to pay their respects when they paid their respects.

And if I don't care about the Qiu family and Chang Ruo, then I will naturally reject their request.

As for the consequences that this matter would annoy me, it was the same as Chang Ruo thought.Qi Xiayun was not the one who asked Wang Sizan to ask for peace, and she even tried to dissuade her, so she was not to blame.

"According to the calculations, among the three Zhaoyis who entered the palace yesterday, Han Yuting is probably the only one who is worse." I said.

And only Han Yuting agreed hastily when Chang Ruo said that she would ask me to ask Mingqi to call someone to sleep with me, forgetting that it was not in accordance with the rules.

Afterwards, after Chang Ruo said and Qi Xiayun said they dared not tell Wang Sizan, they were blatantly used by Chang Ruo and Qi Xiayun as gunmen.

"Probably because Han Zhaoyi was born as a general?" Qihe replied thoughtfully.

"It must be. People who are generals are mostly straight-forward in their dealings with others, and there are not so many twists and turns." Fang Qian on the side also said.

After listening to what they said, I smiled and agreed with them.

"An Fulai, do you know where I went wrong now?" After laughing with Qihe and the others, I put away the smile on my face and gave An Fulai a faint look.

An Fulai is an old man by my side, logically speaking he should be very clear about the palace rules.

But today he just did the same thing as Wang Sizan, thinking that Chang Ruo and the others would be favored sooner or later, so he disregarded the rules and passed the word to me.

By doing this, they obviously didn't take me as the queen mother seriously, they clearly saw Mingqi's favor for Changruo before, and they believed that Changruo's status in the palace would surpass me sooner or later, so they despised the palace rules .

"I know my mistake, I implore the Queen Mother to punish me." After I finished speaking, An Fulai knelt down on the ground and never begged me to forgive his sins.

"If you know you made a mistake, go down and receive the punishment." I said lightly.

"promise."

"Pass down the oral decree of this palace to seize the position of the chief minister of Chuxiu Palace, and distribute it to Xin Zheku with twenty sticks. From today onwards, the position of chief minister of Chuxiu Palace will be succeeded by He Shangyi." After An Fulai stepped down, I ordered again.

Because of today's incident, not only An Fulai, but also Wang Sizan, who I single-handedly raised to be in charge, I am extremely disappointed.

"promise."

The oral order was conveyed quickly, and vaguely, I seemed to hear Wang Sizan's voice begging for mercy and begging to see me.

But the person who went to convey my order is a lot of people. She knows better than anyone else the importance of today's incident, and she knows that I am really angry this time, so naturally she will not let Wang Sizan see it. my chance.

After Qihe left, I looked up at the spring scenery outside the main hall, smiled coldly, and ordered again: "I pass on the oral order of the palace, Zhun Qiu Zhaoyi, Qi Zhaoyi, and Han Zhaoyi will meet in Changwu Hall."

"Queen!" Fang Qian exclaimed after hearing my words.

I heard the words but I didn't care a smile and said: "Don't you just want to know the status of this palace in the palace? Then let them come and have a look." .
