The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

In the Changle Palace, Xiao Rong lay quietly on the reclining chair, covered with a sable cloak.With the strength of the front legs, the recliner slowly rocked back and forth.

At this moment, Xiao Rong didn't feel relaxed and comfortable.

Since the last time he was assassinated in the paddock, Xiao Rong lost the mood to play around.In the past few days, apart from being concerned with the Queen and Daiyu, he was analyzing the situation in the harem.

Among the recent concubines in the harem, only Xue Baochai has the highest status. This is also the plan to contain and win over Prince Teng that day, and it is also the first step to disperse the four major families.Now the battle of the court is obviously no longer limited to the four major families, but also involves the ministers of the frontier and the four kings.And the most critical of them are two people - Feng Tang and Wang Ziteng,

Wang Ziteng's heart is not firm, and he is swaying from side to side, and now he is restrained by Xue Baochai, so there is nothing to worry about at this time.

What is more dangerous is Feng Tang, the martial arts general who is currently guarding the border.Although Feng Tang does not have a soldier talisman in his hands now, it has a great influence in the army and generals.If he stood on the side of the deposed prince, it would be extremely difficult for the emperor.If this person can be made to turn against him or distract his attention, it will relieve the pressure on the front court.

In the original book, my cheap son is the final winner, but now that I am here, I will inevitably flap the wings of a butterfly. If the ending is changed because of myself, it will be a big bad thing.However, how does this old fox restrain it?

Xiao Rong was worrying, when Ziyan, a palace maid in purple, walked in with her head down and small steps.

"Empress Dowager, Feng Chang is asking to see you."

Feng Changzai = Feng Baoyi = Feng Tang's daughter!Xiao Rong sighed in his heart, it was God's blessing, what was missing, he sat up quickly, and said: "Xuan."

"No." After receiving the order, he hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Rong stood up, tugged at the bright yellow Jiufeng uniform on his body, helped the phoenix hairpin on his head, and walked towards Changle Hall.

Feng Baoyi has been in the palace for several months, although he has also received favors, he has not been able to get any status.Xue Baochai, who entered the palace with him, came from a family of merchants who were not well-known, but he was already a concubine.Talking about this with my father and brother these days, they actually let themselves have a good relationship with that Xue Baochai, it's really annoying.Thinking of this, Feng Baoyi ruthlessly pulled the pink orchid handkerchief.

"The Empress Dowager is here." A shrill voice shouted.

Hearing this, Feng Baoyi immediately stood up, stroked his hair on the temples, and adjusted the purple-red embroidered palace dress on his body.With his head down, he waited for Xiao Rong's arrival.

When Xiao Rong came in, he looked at Feng Baoyi carefully, and saw that this girl had round pearls, red lips and white teeth, she was pretty.

Feng Baoyi lowered his head, obviously not aware of Xiao Rong's scrutiny at the moment, he just saluted seriously, "I have seen the empress dowager."

After Xiao Rong sat on the main seat in Changle Hall, he said: "Well, no courtesy." Then he told the palace man next to him: "Give me a seat."

Feng Baoyi arrived at Xie, and sat on the vermilion chair on the lower right of Xiao Rong along the hand of the palace man.

"Give Feng Chang a cup of the new tea from the palace last time. The Ai family likes that fragrance the most."

Feng Baoyi was flattered, and hurriedly said: "The concubine is afraid."

Xiao Rong smiled and said: "Since you entered the palace, you have kept your duty and are a good boy. Unlike some people, relying on the emperor's favor, you will do some unflattering things every day."

Feng Baoyi naturally recognized who this 'certain person' refers to, he was overjoyed, and said with a smile on his face: "Abiding by the rules in the palace, I am a concubine's responsibility, concubine dare not forget."

"Well, Baoyi is very fond of Aijia. Now that Yu'er is studying hard and the queen is pregnant with Liujia, the palace of Aijia is also deserted. In the future, you will often come to Aijia's palace, so that you can help Aijia relieve boredom."

Feng Baoyi hurriedly stood up, knelt down and kowtowed, excitedly said: "I have been favored by the Empress Dowager, my concubine is very flattered, and I will come here often to greet you in the future."

Xiao Rong nodded in satisfaction, and the two ate some snacks and chatted about homework.Seeing Xiao Rong's lackluster expression, Feng Baoyi shrewdly invited Ann and resigned.

Nanny Cui helped Xiao Rong into the inner hall.

Xiao Rong sat on the soft couch and stretched. "Hey, this chat is not an easy thing."

Cui Momo smiled and said: "My servant sees that Feng Changzai is more relaxed than you."

Xiao Rong shook his head. Since ancient times, women in the harem have been victims of the family, which is inevitable.Either used by the royal family, or used by the family.Sighing: "This child is a good child, but it's a pity that he has a dishonest father and brother. If there is a chance in the future, let her be at peace."

Ever since Feng Baoyi and Xiao Rong had a happy conversation, they went to pay Xiao Rong a daily greeting.Every time I tell Xiao Rong some stories about human relationships that I heard in my folk life, it makes me smile all the time.

When everyone in the harem got the news, they had different thoughts.

Xue Baochai had no choice but to smile, and let it go.But in my heart I can't hate it.

As for Jia Yuanchun, since she became pregnant, she received advice from Jia's mother, and Jia Zheng and Jia She received news from the bitter cold frontier that she was in good health.Jia Yuanchun even made up his mind, hoping to give birth to an eldest son in the future and take his uncle and father back home.Instead of those thoughts of the past, he closed the door wholeheartedly to raise his baby.

The rest of the concubines just lamented that Feng Baoyi was about to gain power.

Sure enough, on the eve of winter, the Empress Dowager personally decreed that Feng Baoyi be named Feng Guiren, and bestowed a residence in Lancui Palace.

This Lancui Palace was changed from the side hall of Changle Palace.Emperor Taizu was filial, and in order to allow his mother, who was born as a commoner, to enjoy the wealth and honor in the world, he built Changle Palace in a large scale.The scale of this Changle Palace is huge, it is actually comparable to the two Qianqing Palaces.Later, after the second empress dowager moved in, she felt that the Changle Palace was too luxurious, so she ordered people to divide the palace into two, Changle Palace and Lancui Palace.It's just that the Lancui Palace is usually reserved for beloved concubines, but I didn't expect it to be given to a nobleman who has just risen up.

In Zhongcui Palace, Ying'er was carrying soup and handed it to Xue Baochai who was half lying on the soft couch.Persuading: "Your Majesty, the emperor personally ordered the medicine to be dispensed for you, why are you unhappy?"

Xue Baochai's eyes dimmed, and he took the soup and drank it down.

Ying'er took the soup bowl and handed over the handkerchief to wipe her mouth.

"Ying'er, the empress and concubine Jia are both pregnant, and the emperor hasn't been here for a long time. The empress dowager doesn't want to see me, so what is there to expect?"

Ying'er rolled her eyes twice, and said in a low voice: "My servant heard that...the reason why the Empress Dowager likes Feng Baoyi is because of Feng Baoyi's father and brother..."

Xue Baochai's eyes were even darker, with bitterness on his face. "Yeah, she has a father and brother who can help her get to Qingyun, and Ben Gong... can only rely on herself."

Thinking of Xue Pan's appearance, Ying'er knew that she could not count on it, and her heart darkened.Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Ma'am, my uncle is also your helper."

Xue Baochai sighed, "Now that Concubine Jia is pregnant, I'm afraid uncle has another idea."

Ying'er laughed and said, "Have you forgotten that your uncle and wife love you the most?"

"Aunt?" Xue Baochai read.His heart became clear, his face showed joy, he pointed at Ying'er and said with a smile: "I'm really confused, it's rare for you to be clear!"
