[Qing Chuan] Gongdou system of black lotus

The fact that Qianlong asked Concubine Gao to recuperate and transferred the power of the palace to Concubine Xian spread throughout the harem like a spring breeze that night.

At that time, it was already dark.

As dusk falls, the palace is silent, but there are undercurrents surging in each palace.

In Yikun Palace, the queen who had just copied a Buddhist scripture by hand turned blue for a moment after hearing the news. She was holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, her fingers were clenched tightly, and her knuckles turned white due to the force.

Xiuya, who had inquired about the news, was afraid to speak because of the anger emanating from the queen.

After a while, she heard the queen say quietly: "I really underestimated Concubine Xian."

I thought Concubine Gao was pregnant, so it would be easy to deal with Concubine Xian, but I didn't expect Concubine Gao to be so useless, it was just a trivial matter, not only did she fail to please, but also gave her rights to Concubine Xian for nothing.

It's just rubbish!

When she thought of this, she pinched the beads tightly with her fingers. The string of beads was weak and broke with a snap. The beads rolled to the ground, and Xiuya quickly knelt down.

"Get up, why are you kneeling, you can make a great contribution." The queen showed a smile, the smile was very bright, but there was no smile in her eyes, "If you didn't go to inquire about the news, the palace will know about it tomorrow, then It's too late."

Concubine Xian is different from Concubine Gao in order to share her palace power.

She can not care about Concubine Gao, and even take good care of Concubine Gao, because Concubine Gao is pregnant now, even if she is ambitious, she will still worry about the child in her arms, and she is powerless to raise a baby now.

It can be said that Concubine Gao Guifei only has the name of palace power in vain, but she has never really touched the palace power.

But it is different to give the palace power to Concubine Xian. The queen can see that Concubine Xian is ambitious. Ambitious people are not uncommon in the palace. Who in the Forbidden City has no ambitions.But concubine Xian is a smart person.

An ambitious and intelligent woman is something to be afraid of.

The queen's eyes darkened, she lowered her eyes and said, "Mother Liu."

"The servant is here." Madam Liu stood up.

The queen beckoned to her, and after letting her approach, she whispered something in her ear.

I saw Mother Liu nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Your maidservant knows."

She quietly walked out of Yikun Palace and entered the night.

Everything happened quietly in the night.

The next day, at dawn, all the concubines came to Yikun Palace on time to pay their respects.

Gu Qianqian appeared every now and then, and when she arrived, Concubine Chun, Concubine Yu and others were whispering, not knowing what to say, but when they saw her coming, they stopped talking and looked at each other.

Not long after, Concubine Gao came.

These days, she was the last one to come. Sometimes the empress would show up only after she showed up. She said that she was unwell due to pregnancy and couldn't get up.

However, Concubine Gao is also a smart person, she would not do such a foolish thing, what's more, if she didn't come to pay her respects, how could she show off her honor?

"Sister Concubine Gui came early today." As soon as Concubine Gao appeared, the Queen also appeared, with a warm smile on her face, she looked extraordinarily amiable, "I heard that Sister Concubine Gui was ill again last night. how's it going?"

"Thank you, Empress, for your concern," Concubine Gao vomited in panic. She knew that the Empress didn't really care about her so kindly, but just used this excuse to talk about what happened last night, trying to embarrass her, but she understood better If she shows resistance, it will only make the queen more proud, "It's not a big problem that my concubine was accompanied by the Lord Long Live last night."

"That's right, then I can rest assured." The queen said.

The concubine Jia said coldly at this time: "The nightmare of the imperial concubine must be cured after what happened last night."

Her words were really sharp, she directly pointed out the matter that Concubine Gao was trying to hide from the past.

Concubine Gao's breathing was stagnant, and she looked at Concubine Jia, her eyes were like the frost of the cold winter of March [-]th, filled with anger and coldness, "I don't understand what Concubine Jia said. Is it alright, seems to be dissatisfied? Could it be that Concubine Jia is resentful towards me?"

The two looked at each other, their eyes smelled of gunpowder.

There are no permanent friends in the palace, and this pair of "sisters" who used to be close friends have almost completely fallen out recently, and the quarrel is extremely embarrassing on the surface. Every time they come back to Yikun Palace to say hello, the two of them speak sourly. , with sticks and sticks, and even repeatedly involved other people, even the concubine Chun, who has always been good at staying out of things, has suffered disaster.

Concubine Jia clenched her fists tightly, biting her lower lip with her teeth, and said after holding back for a long time, "How dare the concubine feel resentful towards the imperial concubine? But the concubine has heard a story recently, I wonder if you sisters are interested in hearing it?"

"Telling stories? I like stories the most, so you might as well listen to them." The queen said with great interest.

Gu Qianqian was in the middle of the game, but she seemed to be out of it. She held the tea and drank it slowly, as if the quarrel that happened today had nothing to do with her.

"This story is probably no stranger to the Empress." Concubine Jia looked at the Empress with a humble expression on her face, and said, "It was recorded in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which said that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Zhongmou wanted to take back Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu offered a plan. To betroth Sun Shangxiang to Emperor Han Zhaolie, the clinker Zhuge Liang saw through the treachery, not only allowed Emperor Han Zhaolie to marry Sun Shangxiang back, but also lost a lot of soldiers and horses. After hearing this story, the concubine thought it was funny, the world How can there be such a stupid person in the world? It has been passed down through the ages, and everyone in the future will know the story of losing his wife and losing his army."

After telling the story, Concubine Jia still covered her lips and chuckled a few times.

Concubine Gao's face turned red, she held the teacup tightly in her hand, wishing she could smash the teacup on the concubine Jia's face.

The queen laughed, and said with a smile: "This story is indeed familiar to me. But I think that Sun Zhongmou is not stupid, but too greedy. If not, he would not have ended up like this."

"What the empress said is very true." Concubine Chun nodded in agreement.

Concubine Yu said with a hint of mockery on her lips, "Sister Concubine Jia told such a good story, I should learn from it."

Concubine Gao Guifei was so angry that her hands were shaking when she heard these people taunting her, but she couldn't say anything.

The queen glanced at her before getting back to business, "Speaking of which, I heard last night that the Long Live Lord asked Concubine Xian's younger sister to temporarily replace the concubine's younger sister to help me. I wonder if this is true or not?"

After she finished speaking, she looked towards Gu Qianqian.

Gu Qianqian met her cold and unkind eyes, the corners of her lips curled up, and said with a smile: "It's true at this time, I'm afraid I will disturb the empress in the future."

Concubine Gao said coldly: "Long Live Lord just wants my sister to take over for me temporarily, so don't think too much about it."

If it weren't for her not being able to get out of her family now, she would definitely make Concubine Xian look good!When she gave birth to the prince, she would have plenty of time to take care of that bitch Concubine Xian.At that time, whether it is the palace power or the heart of the Long Live Lord, it will belong to her, not the concubine Xian.

"The concubine, don't worry, the concubine didn't think much about it." Gu Qianqian replied calmly, "The concubine also knows that the concubine is only temporarily replacing the concubine."

Although it was a temporary replacement, Gu Qianqian was sure that this right would belong to her forever from now on.

Concubine Gao Gui didn't feel at ease when she heard her words, she took a deep look at Gu Qianqian, "It's best to do what you say."

Gu Qianqian lowered her head and smiled softly.

The queen's eyes walked back and forth between Gao Guifei and Gu Qianqian, she took a sip of tea, and said: "Since this matter is true, it can't be called disturbing, and I will have to ask Concubine Xian to help me a little bit in the future." .”

When she said this, she paused, and then said: "However, Sister Concubine Xian has never managed the harem. If she doesn't do well, I will not be able to explain to Lord Long Live."

Hearing these words, all the people present gloated over their misfortune.

Even the concubine is the same.

They don't want to see Concubine Gao live a good life, but they also regard Concubine Xian as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh. No one here has any conflicts with Concubine Xian, so naturally they don't want to see Concubine Xian go well in everything.

Especially at this point in time, they were often made things difficult and provoked by Concubine Gao, but Concubine Xian was the only one who was safe and sound. Not only did they not suffer from Concubine Gao, but they also gained benefits.

Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.

Why are they willing? !

"Empress, the concubine has never done these things, but the concubine thinks that the concubine can do it well." Gu Qianqian was calm and unhurried. She looked straight at the queen, her body was straight, like a green pine, and her brows and eyes were full of elegant looks. She looked determined, as if no question could defeat her.

Seeing her like this, the queen, who should have been happy to hear the answer she wanted, frowned, feeling agitated in her heart. She felt that Concubine Xian had changed so much since she recovered from her illness, that even if she was She clearly had the chance to win, but she also felt powerless and worried about Concubine Shangxian.

She didn't believe that Concubine Xian was really capable after going through the life and death test!

There was a trace of coldness in the queen's dark eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up, and she said gently: "With sister Concubine Xian's words, I can rest assured."

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Chun seemed to disagree, she stood up and said: "Your Majesty, my concubine thinks this matter is wrong."

"Pure Concubine!" The Empress frowned and scolded, "Long Live God asked Concubine Xian's younger sister to take the place of Concubine Xian temporarily, what do you mean by that?"

"Your Majesty, managing the harem is no small matter. If Concubine Xian can't do it well, she might make a big mess out of it. In this way, not only her, but also the royal family will be ashamed, so although the concubine knows whether to say this For the sake of Lord Long Live and the empress, I have to say a few words boldly." Concubine Chun spoke loudly with an air of righteousness.

Gu Qianqian looked at her and thought to herself, this pure concubine has a good posture, compared with the previous imperial censors, her speech officials are all decent.

If the queen doesn't allow it, I don't know if Concubine Chun will stage a confrontation in court?

Thinking of this, she turned her eyes around Concubine Chun's face, looked at the makeup on her face, and thought to herself, Concubine Chun probably wouldn't want to, she was reluctant to sacrifice her appearance.
