Chapter 744 No One Dare To Fight With It

Although everyone didn't know why Concubine Jing was punished, everyone understood one thing—

As long as you can please the imperial concubine, you may be able to get a chance to climb up.

Su Jieyu is a living example.

This also shows from the side how much the emperor loves his concubine.

The concubines are naturally envious, jealous, and hateful about this, but the high-ranking concubines are not bad. They hold their own identities and do not want people to despise them.

But those low-ranking concubines couldn't sit still.

In order to become the second Su Jieyu, they all sharpened their heads and drilled into the Yunxiu Palace, trying their best to please the imperial concubine.

For a time, the gates of Yunxiu Palace were like a city.

Xiao Xixi was troubled with a headache, so she closed the door and thanked guests on the grounds of recuperating.

This matter should have ended here, but somehow, the matter spread outside the palace. At first, everyone only said that the imperial concubine was deeply favored by the emperor, and no one in the harem could match it. Later, the rumors became more and more exaggerated, and the rumors gradually changed. taste.

Some people say that the imperial concubine is the only one who favors the other concubines so much that other concubines cannot lift their heads, and that the other concubines have to give up their dignity and depend on the imperial concubine in order to survive.

What's more, it is said that the concubine deliberately framed other concubines, and several concubines have been beaten and demoted because of offending the concubine, and the end is very bleak.

Now the harem is already the world of the noble concubine alone, and no one dares to compete with it.

The censors felt that this unfortunate trend could not be encouraged, and they wrote a book to the emperor, hoping that the emperor could restrain the behavior of the imperial concubine, and must not let the imperial concubine mess up the rules of the harem.

All kinds of things have been said a lot, and finally the topic has returned to the matter of setting up the queen.

The censors felt that the reason why the imperial concubine could cover the sky with only one hand in the harem was because the middle palace had no owner.

As long as there is a queen in the main palace, no matter how favored the imperial concubine is, she is still a concubine, and she can only kneel and kowtow when she sees the main palace.

Luo Qinghan threw all these notes aside, too lazy to take another look.

When he went to court today, he had just walked out of the council hall, when the Confucius Nvshi beside the Taihuang Taitou came to invite him.

"Emperor Qi, the Empress Dowager has not seen you for a few days. I miss you very much, and I want to invite you over for tea."

Luo Qinghan could probably guess in his heart what the Empress Dowager was going to say.

He was a little impatient, but still ordered the Changle Palace.

When they arrived at Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager still looked kind and kind.

she asked concerned.

"The matter of the imperial concubine's assassination, do you have any eyebrows?"

Luo Qinghan: "Not yet."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Aijia knows that you feel sorry for your concubine, and are afraid that she will be wronged, but you really don't need to hold her so high. Now there are many people in and outside the palace who want her to die. If you really like her, You should try to keep a low profile and don't let people pay too much attention to her."

Luo Qinghan said in a low voice: "Thank you for the suggestion from the imperial grandmother, it is precisely because many people are hostile to the imperial concubine that I want to let everyone know how important the imperial concubine is to me. First think about whether you can afford revenge from the king of a country."

The Empress Dowager was speechless.

Luo Qinghan: "As an emperor, if I even dote on a concubine, I have to be secretive, what's the point of being an emperor? What does the grandmother think?"

The Empress Dowager frowned: "There is not only one concubine in the harem."

Luo Qinghan: "So what? I like the imperial concubine, so I just want to pamper her. As for the other concubines, they can't get my favor, so they can only blame themselves for their incompetence."

The Empress Dowager's brows furrowed even tighter.

Luo Qinghan: "Does the imperial grandmother think that I should give up my preferences and take the initiative to accommodate those concubines in the harem?"

The Empress Dowager: "Ai's family doesn't mean this. Ai's family just hopes that you can enjoy the rain and the dew. Don't patronize the noble concubine alone. Women's youth are only so many years, don't let them wasted in the deep palace in vain."

Luo Qinghan pursed his lips and chuckled: "Isn't the one who insisted on choosing them to enter the palace the grandmother? Isn't it you who really let them consume their youth?"

The Empress Dowager reprimanded: "What are you talking about? Aijia chose a concubine for you, isn't it for you? Why are you blaming Aijia instead?!"

Luo Qinghan gently fiddled with the ring jade pendant on his waist and said lightly.

"The emperor's grandmother is an elder. No matter what the elders say or do, they are justified. I don't dare to blame."

The Empress Dowager was heartbroken by his unsavoury appearance.

She pressed her chest and said angrily: "Since you said that, Ai's family doesn't bother to bother about your business anymore, you can do whatever you like, and if you get into trouble in the future, don't blame Ai's family for not reminding you! "

Luo Qinghan: "Grandma, don't be angry about this trivial matter. It's not worth it if you get angry."

He stood up and looked very respectful.

"Have a good rest, don't worry about snacks in the future, I still have government affairs to do, so I won't accompany you, and leave."

When he left Changle Palace, the Empress Dowager finally couldn't help but slapped the table.

"He's really...really..."

She really couldn't find a suitable adjective, and pinned it to her chest in one breath, blocking it badly.

Nvshi Kong hurriedly stepped forward to help her caress her back and persuade her in a warm voice.

"Don't be angry, the emperor is young and vigorous, and his words and actions will inevitably be too sharp. After a few years, he will gradually settle down by himself. Didn't the previous emperor come this way?"

The Empress Dowager sneered: "In the past, Aijia thought he was calm, but he didn't expect that after he became emperor, his temperament became more and more perverse. Especially after the concubine was canonized, he paid less attention to Aijia. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid there will be no place for Aijia in the palace in the future."

Nvshi Kong hurriedly said, "No, you are overthinking it."

The Empress Dowager suddenly asked, "Is there any news from Princess Hua'an?"

Confucius Nvshi: "I heard that an expert has been found, and I believe that someone will be brought into the palace soon."

The Empress Dowager thought for a while: "The palace is not safe, and it is easy for the emperor to detect it. Ai's family has to go out of the palace."

She asked Gan Fu to call over.

Since the death of Emperor Sheng Yong, Gan Fu was transferred to Changle Palace to serve the Empress Dowager.

He is very familiar with all things in the palace, and he is a rare talent with both civil and military skills, and he soon won the reuse of the Empress Dowager.

Gan Fu fell to the ground as soon as he entered the door.

"The servant pays respects to the Empress Dowager."

The Empress Dowager: "Aijia will go to Shengguang Temple to pray for blessings in two days, you can arrange it."

"Here."

Two days later, the Empress Dowager left the palace and went to the Holy Light Temple with Princess Hua'an to pray for blessings, and met an eminent monk who traveled around in the Holy Light Temple.

I heard that the Empress Dowager was very convinced of this eminent monk, and listened to him talking about the Dharma for more than an hour. When parting, the eminent monk also gave Empress Dowager a string of rosewood beads.

It is said that this string of Buddha beads has been opened, and has the effect of warding off evil spirits, eliminating disasters and ensuring peace.
