Chapter 44
Chapter 44
Hearing the announcement of Concubine Yi's arrival, Xi Concubine's complexions suddenly changed; when Yunxiu's smiling voice sounded, they seemed to be choked, their faces were blue and white, and they were suddenly speechless .
As soon as the word "single favorite" caught my ears, the Empress Dowager understood what was going on.She glanced at the slightly panicked fourth concubine, shook her head slightly in her heart, twirled the prayer beads, and then said in harmony: "Su Ma, grant a seat to Concubine Yi."
"It's really reckless for the concubine to come here rashly." Yunxiu smiled and blessed Fushen, and sat down upright, "Thank you ancestor for your kindness."
Compared with the calm empress dowager, the empress dowager's reaction was bigger.She leaned forward, and asked a little faster: "Why is the emperor favored alone? The Ai family doesn't even know about it. What kind of complaints and severe punishments are involved... Concubine Yi, tell me."
Listening carefully, the Queen Mother's words are actually biased.
As for who is biased, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the fifth elder brother is still raised under the empress dowager's knee.
Concubine An's pale face became ugly again, Concubine Xi was angry and anxious, her chest heaved unceasingly.Let Concubine Yi speak first, isn't that allowing her to argue? !
The empress dowager heard it, but she didn't say anything, she nodded slightly, and looked at it with a tacit appearance.
And that's not all. The word "single favorite" was mentioned by Concubine Yi, and then asked savagely by the Queen Mother, without the meaning of taboo...
The empress dowager has gone through three dynasties with an open mind, and she has tasted the bitter fruit of Concubine Dong E after all.The empress dowager might be furious because of the example of the first emperor, and blame Concubine Yi, but now that they were disturbed like this, the dignified atmosphere disappeared completely, and their purpose of tearing down Concubine Yi was suspended.
Concubine Ping squeezed the veil tightly, took a deep breath, what a Guo Luoluo family...
Which bitch tipped off the news and disrupted their arrangement?
Seeing everyone's reactions in full view, Yunxiu withdrew her smile, sighed softly, and said in a low voice, "Returning to the Queen Mother, the concubine really didn't know, so why was she given the reputation of being the only favorite. You know, the concubine has just given birth, and the emperor turned over the concubine's green card just the day before yesterday... It's the first time in several months, how can it be called the only favorite?"
Because the records of the respect room are there, there is no way to falsify them. This statement is well-founded, and anyone can hear Yunxiu's grievance.
The Empress Dowager was slightly taken aback, and said after a while, "This... is this a slander anyway?"
Everything must be based on factual evidence, who can believe empty words?With the records of the respect room as the basis, their words suddenly became untenable.
Hearing this, Xi Concubine became anxious immediately.
She was angry and furious, gritted her teeth and said: "I beg the Queen Mother to learn from me, the concubines must never dare to insult Yifei Empress! Except for sleeping, the emperor comes to Yikun Palace every day, and he usually stays for two hours. I left after dinner. Looking at the harem, no one can stop the emperor from approving memorials and summoning ministers, isn't this the only favorite?"
After saying that, Xi Concubine's eyes turned red, "It doesn't matter if the concubine is not favored, but don't delay Long Live Lord's political affairs!"
Yunxiu started from the number of times she went to bed, but Xi Concubine started from the time they spent together.Alluding to the fact that being alone is not enough, and labeling her as an obstruction of government affairs is simply well-intentioned.
"I come to Yikun Palace every day, and I usually stay for two hours", lo and behold, exaggeration is not enough to describe this sentence.
Leaving aside the fact that the emperor has many affairs to deal with, and his whereabouts are uncertain, is it possible that she, Yunxiu, is still a ginseng doll that prolongs her life?
The woman in the harem, in order to suppress her holy family, has reached the point of turning black and white and using everything to the extreme.
What's the trouble with this?
Yunxiu wanted to laugh so much, she did the same.She burst into a "puchi" laugh, and shook her head under Xi Concubine's unbelievable expression.
After finally stopping her smile, she covered the corners of her mouth and said slowly, "It turns out that Xi Concubine's eyes are on the plaque of Yikun Palace from the beginning to the end, and she knows exactly when the emperor will come and when the emperor will come." Go, you don’t even know if you won’t stay overnight. It’s a waste of talent to be in the harem, why don’t you move your eyes away from Yikun Palace, to the top of the Forbidden City, and be everyone’s clock?”
……
As soon as these words came out, the Empress Dowager stopped twisting the beads, and there was a moment of silence in the Palace of Compassion and Peace.
Concubine Xi's face was stiff, she couldn't believe it, but Concubine Yi directly hit her in the face!
This whole series of words was full of sarcasm, the words were poisonous and sharp, making people tremble with anger, their minds went blank, and they only thought about fighting her desperately.
What does it mean that eyes grow on the plaque of Yikun Palace?What does it mean to be the clock of the Forbidden City? !
Xi Concubine was so angry that her eyes turned red and she almost fainted.
Concubine An's expression changed, and she let out a long sigh in her heart; Concubine Jing's expression was very strange, as if she wanted to laugh but couldn't, and finally turned into a look of deep regret.She shouldn't have listened to An Pin and Ping Concubine's urging, and thus got involved.
Concubine Ping was stunned, her heart sank to the bottom.
Concubine Yi's verbal skills are getting better and better. Not only does she insinuate that Xi Concubine is meddling in other people's affairs, she loves to stare at other people's daily life all day long, but she also refute her words forcefully, which makes people suddenly realize
That's right, Xi Concubine is just making up random things, or just hearsay.What Concubine Yi said was correct, and her eyes were not on the plaque, so how could she know the exact time when the emperor went to Yikun Palace, and how long did the emperor stay?
Unless people are sent to inquire about news every three days, or nails are planted in Yikun Palace.
Even if there is, you can't mention this!
The maids and eunuchs all lowered their heads, and their shoulders trembled slightly after being astonished.
The Empress Dowager coughed softly, suppressing the gushing smile; the corner of the Empress Dowager's mouth showed a smile, then quickly disappeared, and said in a calm manner: "Okay. You are also a mother-in-law." Now, speak more calmly."
"Yes," Yunxiu smiled softly, and said in a gentle voice, "I would like to follow the teachings of my ancestors."
Her expression and tone were relaxed, and in an instant, Xi Concubine was stimulated again, and her nails sank deep into her flesh.
Seeing that the monologue's remarks were going to be self-defeating, Concubine Ping lowered her eyes and secretly scolded Concubine Xi for being a mindless idiot, forced a gentle smile, and was about to say something.
"Ben Gong knows that the recent rumors are very noisy," Yunxiu interrupted her words, and said lightly, "It is said that not only is Ben Gong favored by the emperor alone, but also because of his pampering, he left a scratch on the emperor's cheek. It's disrespectful."
As he said that, Yunxiu smiled slightly, and looked at the Empress Dowager: "God knows, the concubine has been wronged extremely after hearing the rumors. It was Xiaojiu who did it, so what does it have to do with the concubine? I don't know that Director Liang also has red marks on his face. Do you also want to buckle it on the head of the concubine?"
As soon as these words came out, even the empress dowager's expression became strange.
Concubine Yi grabbed Liang Jiugong's face?Who dares?
Yunxiu glanced at Concubine Ping who was barely smiling, and said apologetically: "I have already taught Yinzhen a lesson, and my sister is not unreasonable to worry about the emperor. It's just that the rumors are untrue. If something bad comes out, the royal family will lose face..."
The unfinished words made the queen mother feel a little sad, "That's right, rumors are fiercer than tigers."
Concubine Ping couldn't maintain her indifferent look any longer, and her smile dropped.
Concubine Yi's words almost accused her of disregarding the overall situation and having no compassion, implying that she is the culprit of spreading rumors!
"Old ancestor, queen mother, concubines don't dare to speculate randomly!" Concubine Ping got up and knelt on the ground, and fell down deeply, "Fabricating such rumors is even more false..."
"Okay, okay." The Empress Dowager waved her hand, her old face was a little tired.
The emperor liked Concubine Yi, and the Empress Dowager knew it well, but she didn't quite understand how much he liked it.
He is a wise gentleman, he has a steelyard in his heart, and he has not yet reached the point of being confused!
After listening to it for a long time, I can't call it the only favorite, it's just that they plot against Concubine Yi out of jealousy.
The old lady felt a little uncomfortable.
If he can't give any evidence, he talks nonsense, falters and haws, is he trying to take advantage of Aijia's dislike of being the only favorite, and send an order to punish Yikun Palace?
Look, Concubine Xi, Concubine Ping, they are nothing compared to Concubine Yi's briskness, she can't understand anything, except she is speechless, there is nothing else, it makes people upset.
"You guys," she looked at the fourth concubine lightly, her tone full of sternness, "in the future, you need to be cautious in your words and deeds, and you must not rely on hearsay or gossip. It is simply absurd to favor such rumors alone! The Compassionate Palace of the Ai family is not for you to be jealous of." place!"
Anpin and the others hurriedly stood up and confessed, their complexions paled, "Old ancestor..."
The Empress Dowager closed her eyes, "Come on, I'm exhausted, let's step down."
No matter how unwilling and angry Concubine Ping was, there was nothing she could do.She answered yes in a low voice, rubbed the handkerchief tightly, and slowly backed out.
So far, the turmoil of monopoly has come to an end.
After leaving the Palace of Compassion and Peace, the four concubines kept walking, especially Xi concubine, with her head bowed and cold sweat faintly breaking out on her forehead, as if there was a ghost chasing after her.
They also finally recalled Concubine Yi's reputation of being domineering and domineering, their raging anger faded away and their faces became more rigid.
After Concubine Jing was impulsive, she regretted it even more.The bamboo basket fetched water in vain, and offended Concubine Yi for no reason, what should I do in the future?
If the Guo Luoluo family blows pillow wind to the emperor...
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it, and suddenly her footsteps stopped.
Yunxiu followed behind with a smile, and said loudly, "Slow down."
Seeing a few people frozen there, Yunxiu smiled more gently, walked around behind them, and stopped directly in front of Xi Concubine.
Sensing Xi Concubine's trembling, Ping Concubine closed her eyes and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?" Yunxiu glanced at her and said calmly, "I have something to say."
She skipped Concubine An and Concubine Jing, looked Ping Concubine up and down, and then said with a half-smile: "The dignified noble lady of the Hershey family jumps up and down like a shrew in the market, there is no time for her to be safe."
She lowered her voice, "Are you tired? You're not tired. I'm tired of watching monkey shows."
Concubine Ping suddenly raised her head, her eyes were gloomy, and she almost bit her lower lip.
But Yunxiu didn't care at all, her eyes fell on Xi Concubine.
"Ruizhu, according to the rules of the harem, what if the following criminals are taken in?" She flicked the armor leisurely.
Ruizhu hid her smile, and said with a straight face: "The empress is the concubine of the assistant harem, and the concubine is nothing more than a concubine. If you commit any crimes below, if you are disrespectful, you should slap your lips! The empress is a high-ranking concubine, so naturally she has to discipline the concubine." of power."
……
Xi Concubine's eyes widened suddenly, trembling with anger, "Concubine Yi, don't bully me too much!"
Yunxiu smiled, leaned close to her ear, and said softly: "I'm just bullying you, so what can you do?"
