   Chapter 114 Reconciliation

   Empress Dowager Zhao suddenly said: "Ai's family is going to change clothes, Concubine Qin, you accompany the emperor to speak."

   Empress Dowager Zhao worked hard and created opportunities for Concubine Qin.

Concubine Qin understood, went forward cheekily, and said softly: "Is the emperor still angry with his ministers and concubines? The ministers and concubines already knew what happened last time. The emperor has a lot of people, so don't be angry with his ministers and concubines. "

Emperor Yongjia glanced at Concubine Qin, and there was not much warmth in his voice: "The queen mother likes you, I remember that you are my aunt's cousin, and I would like to give you a little more respect. You rely on my tolerance and the queen mother's preference, Instigating in front of the Queen Mother from time to time, it's still a matter of the Queen Mother's private house."

   "Concubine Qin, I didn't let you down because of the queen mother. Otherwise, why would you still be hanging around under my eyes?"

   belongs to the coercion of the emperor, like the pressure of an invisible boulder.

Concubine Qin's face turned pale, her knees softened, and she knelt down: "Your anger, please listen to the concubine. The empress dowager treats the concubine so well, and it is too late for the concubine to be grateful. How dare you plan against the empress dowager and ask the emperor to investigate... "

   "Yes or no, you know best in your heart." Emperor Yongjia interrupted Concubine Qin coldly: "People have shadows, winds have voices, and everything that has been done has traces to follow."

   "I didn't pursue it to the end, but I already gave you honor."

   "It's fine if you serve the queen mother well. If you instigate the mother-son relationship between me and the queen mother, I can't spare you!"

  Concubine Qin was trembling, her eyes filled with tears: "Why can't the emperor trust the concubine? The concubine swears that if the concubine is half-truth, the concubine will be struck by thunder."

  Emperor Yongjia said lightly: "You are the best at talking, otherwise, you wouldn't like you so much after coaxing too much. However, I don't believe a single word of what you said now."

  Concubine Qin: "..."

   Concubine Qin finally couldn't help it, she covered her face and started crying.

   Over the years, she has relied on the support of the Queen Mother Zhao, and she is very beautiful in the harem. Emperor Yongjia also took great care of her.

   She never imagined that one day, Emperor Yongjia would treat her so sternly.

  Emperor Yongjia's voice came into his ears: "You wiped your tears and got up. Later, your mother will come, you can deal with it. Don't let your mother worry."

   Concubine Qin choked up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

  Emperor Yongjia didn't say a word, and Concubine Qin didn't have the courage to come forward to speak, so she just bowed her head and stood silently.

   Soon, Empress Dowager Zhao came back.

   Empress Dowager Zhao looked around and fell on Concubine Qin's reddish eyes: "Concubine Qin, what's wrong with you?"

  Emperor Yongjia also looked over with a warning in his eyes.

   Concubine Qin's whole body was agitated, and she reflexively squeezed out a smile: "Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine was talking to the emperor just now, and her eyes turned red when she was excited."

   Is this reconciliation or not!

   Empress Dowager Zhao frowned slightly.

   Concubine Qin showed a shy smile again: "The emperor comforted his concubine and said that he was too busy with political affairs recently, so he would take his concubines to live in Huangzhuang for a few days to escape the summer when he had time to spare!"

   Empress Dowager Zhao was relieved and said with a smile: "When the weather is hot, living in the mountains is really cool. In the past, when summer came, we all went to other courtyards."

Emperor Yongjia smiled and continued: "Yes, I will accompany my mother and queen to go there, and I will stay for a few days before returning to the palace." Then he said to Concubine Qin: "You are going to have a meal, tonight, I will accompany the queen mother. Have dinner together."

   Concubine Qin replied softly, and immediately got up to pass the meal.

   In the Empress Dowager Zhao's view, this is reconciliation as before.

   Empress Dowager Zhao was in a happy mood, stretched her brows, and laughed cheerfully.

  Concubine Qin also had a smile on her face, but her heart was even more bitter than Huang Lian.

  …

   Queen Qiao summoned the steward of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to clean up several prince's palaces and leave it for the princes to get married. This time, Queen Qiao didn't mention any difference between the concubines and concubines, and they all used the same fee.

   Empress Dowager Zhao, who is the most thorny, has learned from the past, so she didn't talk much this time.

   Anyway, if she wants to subsidize, she just needs to give it in private. There is no need to make everyone aware of it, and make Emperor Yongjia unhappy.

   Several prince's mansions, all built long ago, are all in one place. Princess Hui'an's Mansion is also adjacent to the Prince's Mansion. Princess Jing'an, who is about to arrive, is adjacent to Princess Hui'an's mansion.

Concubine Meng Gui said to Emperor Yongjia: "Jing'an is about to reach the wedding ceremony, and once the wedding ceremony is over, it is time to pick the concubine. It is better to take advantage of the renovation to clean up the prince's mansion, and also clean up the Jing'an princess mansion. In the future, Jing'an wants to go out of the palace to relax. It is also very convenient to stay for a few days.”

  Emperor Yongjia responded: "I will tell the queen to clean up the matter of the princess's palace."

Concubine Meng Gui smiled and said, "The emperor is too inconsiderate to the empress. The three prince's palaces have to be cleaned up, as well as the palace affairs in the palace. The empress is so busy, how can the emperor have the heart to leave this matter to the empress? Chen concubine anyway. If you have nothing to do, let the concubine do her best for her daughter, and it can be regarded as sharing the worries for the empress."

  The Queen is in charge of palace affairs, and the stewards of the Internal Affairs Office directly obey the Queen.

   Concubine Meng's mouth is naturally beyond the norm.

  Emperor Yongjia hesitated.

   He and Queen Joe just reconciled...

   "Your Majesty!" Concubine Meng Gui snarled like a young girl, "Your Majesty should agree to his concubine!"

   As a result, the noble concubine on the top of his heart sneered, and Emperor Yongjia put all his thoughts and considerations behind him, and quickly responded: "Alright."

   On the second day, Emperor Yongjia ordered Eunuch Liu to visit Jiaofang Palace and tell Queen Qiao about this.

   Queen Qiao's face was as usual, and she smiled lightly: "I understand, Eunuch Liu thanked the emperor on behalf of this palace, and I thank the emperor for showing mercy to this palace."

The last sentence of    reveals a three-point mockery.

   Eunuch Liu responded respectfully, feeling a little embarrassed.

   It was he who looked at this servant and felt that Queen Qiao, the empress in the middle palace, was really useless and aggrieved. But what about Queen Joe?

  In the palace, Emperor Yongjia is the sky.

  The power of the queen comes from the emperor.

   Emperor Yongjia gave Queen Qiao his respect for his wife, and nothing more. The affection of Emperor Yongjia was given to Concubine Meng.

   Even though Concubine Qin had a good life with the support of the Queen Mother Zhao, when she came to Concubine Meng, she could only show her goodwill with a smile. Not to mention Su Zhaorong, she didn't even dare to fart when she saw Concubine Meng.

   Concubine Meng did not intend to compete for palace affairs, but the matter of the eldest prince and Princess Jing'an, Concubine Meng always had to take it in her hands and refused to let Queen Qiao touch her.

   On the day the eldest prince got married, Concubine Meng was in charge of it. The restless Queen Qiao has endured it, and it is nothing to clean up a princess mansion.

   After Eunuch Liu left, Cailan said a little indignantly: "The Empress has a good temper and doesn't care about the concubine. I'm afraid the concubine thinks she has the upper hand!"

Queen Qiao twitched the corners of her mouth, but there was no smile in her eyes: "Let her go! Right now, the most important thing is to clean up the prince's palace and prepare for the prince's wedding. This palace is really too busy alone, and Concubine Meng Gui is the most important thing. It's good to share the worries of the palace."
