Chapter 76
Now what she should do most as a queen is to hide her strength and bide her time!
Tao Xiang heard the queen's words, but she was very upset for the queen, and she couldn't help showing a look of grievance on her face: "Your Majesty, you have followed His Majesty for so many years, but you are not as good as a Miss Zhao who was killed halfway. Your Majesty really..."

Before she finished speaking, the queen raised her hand to stop her, and said: "Tao Xiang, you and I know something very well, so you don't need to say it. I know you are loyal, but I don't want you to follow me. The palace fell into this boudoir's sorrow."

Tao Xiang pursed her lips, lowered her head and said: "Yes, empress, this servant realizes his mistake."

The queen patted her hand, raised her head and smiled at her: "I have tried my best to pretend to be stupid, and now the concubines in the harem think that I am just a cowardly, cowardly idiot, that's fine. You must not argue with others because of this palace."

Tao Xiang really doesn't understand what the queen thinks, she is clearly the head of the harem, but her life in the harem is not as smooth as an ordinary concubine.

Even the ice cubes sent to Kunning Palace by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are only two pieces a day, which is not enough to cool off the heat. The food prepared by the imperial dining room can only be regarded as passable, but there is no treatment that the queen should deserve.

Seeing that Tao Xiang didn't speak, and there was some grievance in her eyes, the queen changed the subject and asked, "I ordered you to contact the Wang family far away in Cangzhou, did you get in touch?"

Speaking of this, Tao Xiang quickly came to her senses, and replied respectfully: "My mother, your mother family, the Cangzhou Wang family, has been contacted by servants half a year ago. Now Mr. Wang is the uncle of the Great Zhou, and His Majesty gave him Cangzhou. Zheng Liupin is the Salt Envoy, managing the Cangzhou Salt Mine."

It doesn't sound very good to be the salt envoy of the sixth grade, but it is a salt mine in charge, which is different.

The Wang family has been weak for decades, thanks to His Majesty giving her father such an official position for her sake, the embarrassing life of the Wang family has gradually improved.

After Taoxiang finished speaking, the queen breathed a sigh of relief, and said with nostalgic eyes: "I haven't returned to Cangzhou for a long time, and I miss my father and mother very much. Wu?"

Tao Xiang thought about it carefully, and said: "The servant and the young master met once, and according to the young master's opinion, Mr. Wang seems to want the young master to join the martial arts."

The queen frowned, and Dang even took a sip of the herbal tea in hand.

Just when Taoxiang thought that the queen could not speak, she heard her say: "Feige pass a letter to my father, let my younger brother study literature next year, don't join martial arts."

It is precisely because the Wang family is weak and low-key, and there are no outstanding children in the family, so the family power behind the other concubines allowed her to be the queen for so long, and His Majesty has always let the Cangzhou Wang family do nothing.

But if the Wang family dared to show signs of martial arts, the queen and the Wang family would fall into the target of public criticism.

At that time, it is unknown whether the favored Concubine Chen or Zhao Kehan ​​who has a close relationship with His Majesty will take her place.

She can give up everything, except this big week back!

Seeing the Queen's expression becoming more and more dignified, Tao Xiang's heart skipped a beat, knowing that it must not be a good thing for Young Master Wang to join the martial arts, so she quickly responded: "Your servant obeys, please don't worry, my servant will definitely inform Mr. Wang, Mr. Wang always listens to your advice. Opinion, young master will definitely follow the text next year!"

The queen rubbed her temples, thinking about too many things in her mind, so she waved to Tao Xiang wearily, and said, "Go down—by the way, my palace's eyeliner has been placed in each palace?"

The harem is divided into the East Palace, the Middle Palace, the South Palace and the North Palace.

Although the empress has been eating incense and worshiping Buddha in the ancient temple these years, she knows the situation in the palace very well. It is precisely because of the eyeliner she has arranged in the palace in the past three years.

Tao Xiang just stopped turning around, and replied respectfully: "Back to Madam, except for His Majesty's Hall of Mental Cultivation and the Imperial Study Room, our eyeliner has been arranged in other places, but the Concubine Chen's Xianya Palace has recently disposed of a group of people with bad hands and feet. Too clean palace maids, our people are among them..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold light flashed in the queen's eyes.

This elegant palace is really watertight!
But soon, she was relieved, and smiled slightly at Tao Xiang: "Forget it, concubine Chen has some skills, but now the three-legged power has been destroyed, and Concubine Ning was thrown into the cold palace by His Majesty and imprisoned for life. Concubine Hua will definitely not be reconciled, and will definitely find another helper, let's see who she will find!"

"In addition, please go on, anyone in Kunning Palace must maintain a humble attitude when they see people from Xianya Palace. Anyone who dares to make trouble with people from Xianya Palace will be sentenced to death!"

Hearing this, Tao Xiang's eyelids twitched, she suppressed the nervousness in her heart, and said respectfully: "Your servant obeys!"

After speaking, she stepped back.

In the huge bedroom, in an instant, only the queen was left.

In the night, her figure looked ethereal and blurred from a distance.

The next day, the Compassion Palace.

As soon as the hour of Chen arrived, all the concubines surrounded Shang Kelan and came to the main hall.

After Shang Kelan sat down, the concubines rushed to talk to Shang Kelan. For a while, the atmosphere was very lively.

Concubine Hua sat at the hands of Shang Kelan. Today she was wearing a pink cloud brocade palace dress with magpies embroidered on it, a pair of matching pink satin embroidered shoes on her feet, a pearl flower the size of a fingernail on her bun, her wrist There are jade bracelets and necklaces on the upper and neck, which look extremely gorgeous.

Compared with Concubine Hua's gorgeous and eye-catching attire, Shang Kelan was dressed much more plainly, only wearing a lavender embroidered white apricot flower palace gown, with a delicately shaped white jade pendant pinned to her waist.

At this moment, Mother Chen, who was beside the Empress Dowager, came to report that the Empress Dowager was having breakfast, so please wait a moment, ladies and gentlemen.

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Hua felt sullen in her heart, no matter how she looked at Shang Kelan sitting in front of her, she was not happy.

Shang Kelan would be really stupid if he still couldn't feel the cannibalistic eyes of Concubine Hua.

After answering the words of the concubines with her fingertips, she turned her head and smiled quietly at Concubine Hua: "Sister Hua Concubine has been staring at me, but you think I look good?"

Concubine Hua choked up, and then snorted coldly: "Sister, don't be narcissistic. You just sent Concubine Ning to the cold palace. I'm afraid you are very happy? Could it be that the jade pendant on your waist was a gift from His Majesty a few days ago?" Your cold jade?"

Shang Kelan raised her eyebrows, smiled at her suddenly, and said: "Concubine Hua really has good eyesight. This piece of cold jade was specially ordered by His Majesty to be crafted by skilled craftsmen. It is said that there are only two pieces in the entire harem, and one piece is in this palace. Here, one piece is at the empress dowager's—it's a pity that the concubine Hua doesn't have one, otherwise I would be able to experience the magical effect of this cold jade!"

Concubine Hua was furious, she glared at her and said, "You...huh! Isn't it just a piece of cold jade? I have as much as I want, and I only need to repair a book, and Daddy can send me a box!"

Shang Kelan looked at her in surprise, subconsciously covered his chest with a champagne and said, "Ah! So Governor Li is so rich? When His Majesty was raising disaster money for the court a few days ago, how did you hear that Governor Li only donated 300 taels?"

Anyway, she and Concubine Hua have torn skins, usually she always disgusts herself, but today she also disgusts her!
