Chapter 747 Beat the Imperial Concubine
The Empress Dowager did not return to the palace until evening.
As soon as she arrived at Changle Palace, she was told that the concubine was coming.
The first time she heard the word "Tuberculosis Concubine", the Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that this was the former White Concubine.
It is also pitiful for a good white concubine to be given such an indecent title.
The Empress Dowager entered the hall, and the concubine was blessed.
"My concubine greets the Empress Dowager."
After the Empress Dowager sat down, she looked at Concubine Tuberculosis.
Concubine Tuberculosis has always liked to wear plain and elegant dresses, and today is no exception, a tea-white waist-length skirt with yellow plum blossoms embroidered on the sleeves, apricot-yellow shawl hanging loosely between her arms, and pearls in her hair bun. Jinbu shook lightly.
The eyebrows were drawn thin, and only a little red lipstick was lightly smeared on the lips, which made her skin dazzlingly white.
The Empress Dowager also liked to see this kind of light and elegant dress when she was young, but now that she is older, she prefers to be lively and bright, so she is not very fond of this kind of dull appearance.
No matter what she was thinking, she always had a kind smile on her face and asked warmly.
"I heard that you have been ill again recently, why don't you take a good rest in the Misty Rain Palace?"
Concubine Tu pursed her lips, her eyebrows frowned, "The body of the concubine has not yet recovered, so she should not have come to disturb the empress dowager, but the concubine is really uneasy in her body and mind. Empress Dowager, ask the Empress Dowager to decide."
The Empress Dowager was a little surprised: "What happened?"
The concubine said softly.
"Originally, the affairs in the palace were always handled by you, and the concubine, Concubine Li and Concubine Jing were there to assist.
But now.
The imperial concubine didn't even say hello, she just took the errand from the concubine.
She is a noble concubine, and her status is more valuable than a concubine.
The concubine should let her.
But changing palace affairs is not a trivial matter, and if there is a slight error, there will be big problems.
She can't rely on herself to be favored, regardless of the overall situation, and change the personnel in the palace at will. "
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly: "Is there such a thing?"
She looked at Nvshi Kong next to her.
Nvshi Kong understood, and immediately went out to exchange a few words with a grand palace maid in a low voice. After learning the general situation of the matter, she told the matter to the great empress dowager.
The Empress Dowager thought about the recent dissatisfaction with the imperial concubine in the court, and now such a thing has happened again. It seems that the rumors are true.
Isn't it obvious that it's a fight for power?
Concubine Tuberculosis carefully observed the change in the Empress Dowager's expression. Seeing her displeased expression, she knew in her heart that she was also dissatisfied with the imperial concubine, and immediately continued.
"Actually, even if the imperial concubine wants to interfere in the affairs of the palace, it is nothing.
After all, she is a noble concubine, and she is deeply loved. Naturally, she is not comparable to an ordinary concubine like a concubine.
But she intervened in palace affairs without notifying the Queen Mother in advance.
This is really illegal.
Therefore, the concubine specially came to ask the empress dowager to come forward to call the shots, not to let the imperial concubine break the rules of the palace. "
This is indeed the place that makes the Empress Dowager the most dissatisfied.
Although she doesn't take care of things very much on weekdays, she is the Empress Dowager after all, and the woman with the highest status in the harem. How could she know her for such a big event as changing palace affairs? Does this ignore her? !
But then again.
The concubine in front of her is not good either.
No matter how nicely she speaks, she can't hide the fact that she is sowing discord,
No wonder the emperor gave her such a title.
So many hearts are really unpleasant.
The Empress Dowager asked warmly, "In your opinion, how should Aijia handle this matter?"
Concubine Tu lowered her brows and pleasing to her eyes: "The Empress Dowager is the head of the harem, and these things are naturally up to you. How dare you tell me what to do, no matter what you decide to do, the concubine will do as you ordered."
The Empress Dowager smiled: "You are obedient."
She instructed the Nvshi Confucius who was standing beside her.
"Go and favor the imperial concubine, Aijia has something to tell her."
"Here."
Before, the empress dowager almost quarreled with the emperor over the matter of the imperial concubine, but this time she naturally won't go to the emperor again.
She planned to have a good chat with the imperial concubine directly, and beat the imperial concubine by the way, so that the imperial concubine would keep her duty and not be too arrogant.
When the concubine tuberculosis learned that the empress dowager was going to summon the imperial concubine, she knew in her heart that the imperial concubine would definitely be unlucky when she waited. The depression that had accumulated in her heart was relieved, and her mood improved.
In Yunxiu Palace.
Xiao Xixi is trying on clothes.
In the late autumn and early winter, the weather is getting colder and colder, Zhezhi specially sent some fabrics to Shangfu, and let Shangfu make two sets of new clothes.
Knowing that it was the imperial concubine's clothes, Shangfu Si did not dare to neglect, and the fastest speed was the best, and Chen Sizheng personally sent it to Yunxiu Palace, and handed it over to the imperial concubine to try it on.
After Xiao Xixi tried it on, she determined that the clothes were the right size and did not need to be modified.
The clothes were left, and Zhezhi sent Chen Sizheng out.
As soon as they left, Qingsong hurried in.
"Reporting to the noble concubine, there is someone from Changle Palace. It is said that the empress dowager asked you to come over."
Xiao Xixi was about to change the new clothes on her body when she heard the words and moved.
"Did you say you were looking for this palace?"
Qingsong looked around: "I heard that I was looking for you to tell me something."
Baoqin asked everyone else in the room to retreat, leaving only her, Qingsong, and the imperial concubine.
Qing Song then continued: "The slave just spent some money, and I learned from the person who reported the letter that Concubine Tuberculosis went to Changle Palace today."
Baoqin was vigilant and hurriedly said.
"Could it be that Concubine Tuberculosis deliberately said something in front of the Empress Dowager, concubine, why don't you tell the emperor about this? Even if the Empress Dowager really wants to do something to you, the Empress Dowager would not dare to do anything if the emperor came forward. Going too far."
Xiao Xixi silently calculated in her heart.
The calculation results show that she may have a little trouble going out this time, but it is not a big problem.
But to be on the safe side, she still sent someone a message to the emperor.
Xiao Xixi: "I don't need to say too much, just say that this palace is going to greet the empress dowager."
Qingsong responded: "Here."
Since she was going to meet the Empress Dowager, Xiao Xixi didn't need to change her clothes, she just went out wearing her new clothes.
A crimson chest-length skirt with amber large sleeves, embroidered peony butterflies on the chest and embellished with pearls.
The very lively and bright colors set off her face even more delicately and brightly.
The guard of honor of the imperial concubine stopped at the gate of Changle Palace.
Xiao Xixi helped Baoqin's hand to get out of the car and walked slowly into the Changle Palace.
"My concubine greets the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager looked at the clothes on her body and felt that it was much more pleasing to the eye than the indifferent appearance of the concubine tuberculosis.
But pleasing to the eye is pleasing to the eye, and the place to hit is still to hit.
"Aijia heard that you have recently started to intervene in palace affairs."
Xiao Xixi glanced at the concubine who was kneeling beside her. It seemed that Baoqin had guessed correctly, and the concubine had really come to complain to the empress dowager.
