play self pity? Acting weak? The concubine Jiaojiao went crazy

Fengyang Palace, inside the palace.

The maids Lingqian and Lingxi were waiting for the Queen's lunch.

Lingqian and Lingxi could also sense that the Queen was not in much of a mood to have a meal. In fact, they could also guess that the two looked at each other.

Then, Lingqian said softly: "Empress, no matter what Concubine Chen is, her physical condition will only be like that in this life. She is just relying on the Dingguo Palace behind her. During this New Year's Day , and her eldest brother is in the capital, so the Queen Mother and the Emperor also pay more attention to Concubine Chen, but who can compare with you, the Queen, you are the master of the harem."

Lingxi: "Yes, when Concubine Chen's eldest brother leaves the capital, everything will return to normal. Concubine Chen will not be able to stir up any trouble at all. Concubine Lan's plans and the arrangements of the Queen are already in place. Letting it go away is a happy thing for you, the Queen, so why worry about Concubine Chen's sick son? Queen, this meal is carefully prepared, you can eat some of it."

Wang Wanning could certainly hear the meaning of the words of her two personal maids. In fact, she also knew that what Concubine Chen relied on was Duke Dingguo's palace and the outstanding military achievements of the Qin family. Without these, Concubine Chen would not be able to count. What, he didn’t even have a chance to enter the palace, let alone be made a concubine as soon as he entered the palace.

Indeed, she didn't have to think too much about that. Even part of her plan was to take advantage of Concubine Chen's identity to plot against Concubine Lan and kill two birds with one stone. Not only since when, perhaps, was it in Su Something happened to her family and Concubine Hui died. She always felt that even though she was the queen and the master of the harem, there were still things she was powerless to do.

It can even be said that many things in the harem seemed to be under her control, but in fact, they had been derailed long ago.

Lingqian and Lingxi saw that the Queen remained silent, as if what they just said had no effect at all.

At this time, the two of them were about to say something more, when they saw the Queen picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Wang Wan Ning picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and said firmly, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Concubine Chen, Duke Dingguo, the more outstanding the Qin family's military exploits, the more vigilant the emperor needs to be. Since ancient times, emperors of all generations have been cautious about those who hold military power.

Even though the Dingguo Palace has been inherited for a long time and is loyal to the Tianyang royal family, if something like military power is too strong, it will make the emperor afraid.

Concubine Chen, as the two maids said, no matter how good the family background behind her is, it will be like that at best. Concubine Chen is a move in her scheme. Why should she get herself involved in things that should not happen for the sake of those illusory things? in tangle.

In this palace, in this imperial city, above the court, her opponent is Concubine Lan, and her Wang family has to deal with the Zheng family.

Wang Wanning looked at Lingqian and Lingxi who were standing aside, and said, "By the way, what's the situation on Song Zhaoyi's side? Did Liu Fu say anything?"

Lingqian immediately replied: "Don't worry, Madam. As far as the extent of Song Zhaoyi's injury is concerned, and the situation reported by Imperial Doctor Liu from the Imperial Hospital, it has been at least three months. Concubine Lan wants Song Zhaoyi to be promoted to the title of concubine. After this, it will not be possible in a short time." It's possible. Even if Song Zhaoyi recovers after three months, it won't be possible in a day or two to find another opportunity. What's more, with this time, the empress will have plenty of time to polish the suitable candidate. ”

Wang Wanning said in a deep voice: "Since Song Zhaoyi has become like that, then we should find a way to prevent her from ever recovering, so that we can get over it once and for all."

Lingqian and Lingxi looked at each other, and immediately they understood the Queen's thoughts.

Lingxi spoke up: "Concubine Lan takes this matter very seriously, and the imperial physician Zhou He is also in charge. It might be a bit troublesome to do anything about it."

Wang Wanning: "Liu Fu is the head of the Taiyuan Hospital. Since he has chosen to work for me, he must solve the trouble for me. Send him a message and let him think of a solution."

Lingqian and Lingxi didn't say much, they just said "yes".

……

Over here, in Zhaohua Palace.

Zheng Shiyao looked at the exquisite dishes on the table in front of her. She picked up several chopsticks but did not pick them up. The action of picking up the dishes was obviously a little unhappy, and she immediately slapped the chopsticks in her hand on the table.

The maids Hong Ling and Hong Jian also saw clearly that their master was obviously unhappy.

Zheng Shiyao frowned, "Previously, when the emperor summoned Qin Chuan, he asked Concubine Chen to have a meal with him. Today, the Queen Mother summoned him again and asked Concubine Chen to go with him. During the New Year Festival, the spotlight was on Concubine Chen. Take it away."

As soon as Hongling heard this, she immediately said: "Madam, this is because Concubine Chen's eldest brother is here. Otherwise, how could the Queen Mother and the Emperor think about Concubine Chen? Zuo is just looking after the Qin family of Duke Dingguo." That’s all, under normal circumstances, Concubine Chen, you, the queen, will also see it, so how much attention is paid to it, everything is superficial, in real terms, you must be the most important.”

Hong Jian also echoed and said: "Your Majesty, Hong Ling is right. In real comparison, who can be better than your Majesty? Speaking of which, Your Majesty, you shouldn't feel uncomfortable for these things. On the contrary, it's the Queen who should." I feel uncomfortable. Normally, when it comes to favors, your Majesty would overwhelm the Queen. Logically speaking, during this Chinese New Year, the Emperor should spend more time with the Queen, but Concubine Chen’s eldest brother is in the capital. The Duke's palace has such outstanding military achievements, so the Emperor will naturally show his favor to Concubine Chen, but if he does this, he will certainly make the Queen unhappy."

After hearing this, Zheng Shiyao couldn't help but think about it. This principle is indeed true. As long as the queen is unhappy, it is good for her. It is also good for her to make the queen unhappy through the incident of Concubine Chen. of.

However, when I think of the queen, I think of the accident that happened to Song Zhaoyi. She had planned it, and the emperor had already said it. The emperor also agreed with Song Zhaoyi's promotion, but she didn't expect that it would cause trouble. If something like this happens, based solely on Song Zhaoyi's situation, it is simply unrealistic to want to be granted the title of Jin.

And when Song Zhaoyi recovers, I'm afraid that the situation in the harem will be different again. The Queen will definitely not remain indifferent. If the Queen touches Song Zhaoyi, she must have a backup plan. Song Zhaoyi is injured, and this matter is also It is impossible to stop there, but to go further.

Song Zhaoyi can't just let it go. She still has to make careful plans for the vacant concubine position.
