Dressed as Concubine Xian [Comprehensive Yanxi Palace]

Chapter 113 The Empress Dowager Chapter Palace

Niu Colu and Zhen Huan were not Qianlong's biological mother, but as long as their mother and son did not fall out, she would still be the most honorable woman in the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, when the Queen Mother returned to the palace from Mount Wutai, She Shuxian, as a queen, was obliged to lay down etiquette to welcome her grandly.

……

Just as the sky turned pale, She Shuxian had already brought a group of concubines, elder brothers, and princesses to the palace gate to wait for the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Luanjia appeared, and everyone stepped forward, going through cumbersome and lengthy etiquette, which made everyone's backs sore and legs ache. They had to hold back the pain and present a small program to congratulate the Empress Dowager on her return to the palace, just to change Niu Hulu and Zhen Huan's mood.

After the etiquette, the Queen Mother entered the Shoukang Palace and listened to She Shuxian's report on what happened while she was away.

She Shuxian has dealt with the Queen Mother for more than 20 years, and she knows her deep scheming. On the surface, she does not care about world affairs when she eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism. In fact, everything in the palace is under her supervision, so she dare not hide anything. Said the matter exactly.

The Empress Dowager had already known about the hidden treasures by the Daming Lake from elsewhere, and after hearing the empress's statement, she was sure that she was still loyal to her, she nodded in satisfaction, and said, "You have handled the matter with Wei very well."

"Thank the Empress Dowager for the compliment, the concubine only did what she was supposed to do."

The Empress Dowager said again: "I heard that a Baoyue Tower was recently built in the palace. Empress, you are in charge of the harem. Do you know about this?"

She Shuxian said with a smile: "General Zhaohui was defeated and will return to the court in a few days. There are many Hui tribe nobles and their families in the entourage. The emperor intends to select young and beautiful people from the families of Hui tribe nobles to enter the palace. To show appeasement. This Baoyue tower was built for the Huibu concubine who is about to enter the palace."

"The emperor has a heart."

The Queen Mother snorted.

She Shuxian didn't know what these words meant, so she could only say perfunctory on the scene: "The emperor has the world in his heart, and it is the blessing of the harem."

"The blessing of the harem!"

The Empress Dowager laughed even colder, and said sarcastically: "I heard that before Zhaohui brought these Huibu women back to Beijing, he sent a pair of jade bottles to the emperor in a hurry eight hundred miles away. Princess Meirenxiang, the emperor only moved to build the Baoyue Tower and marry Huibu after seeing the portrait of Princess Xiang! Empress, do you know this!"

"It is true that the Ministry of Hui once sent someone to deliver the jade vase to the emperor, but whether there are beauties on the jade vase, the courtiers and concubines don't know."

"unknown?"

The queen mother smiled and said: "Queen, you can't forget to be prepared for danger in times of peace after living in peace for a long time!"

She Shuxian said: "The concubine thinks that General Zhaohui is upright and will never do the treacherous thing of searching for beauties. The saying of beauties in the jade bottle is really a coincidence. As for whether to be prepared for danger in times of peace - even if the beauties of Huibu have the beauty of the country, According to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, it is impossible to become a queen."

"So you just boldly let the emperor mess around?" the Queen Mother asked back.

She Shuxian said: "The concubine only does what a concubine should do as a queen."

"Queen, you seem a little..."

The Queen Mother's mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't finish her sentence.

She Shuxian had long been used to the Queen Mother's moodiness, and after reporting the important events in the Queen Mother's harem, she asked Rong Wan to take He Wei into the Shoukang Palace for an audience. Qing Gege entered the Shoukang Palace with He Wei because of the Queen's letter beforehand.

……

When He Wei met the Empress Dowager for the first time, he was unavoidably timid and uneasy. Fortunately, although the Empress Dowager had an unstable personality, she was always kind and amiable in front of the juniors. Finish.

When he left the Shoukang Palace, He Wei said to She Shuxian excitedly: "The Empress Dowager is so kind, and Qing Gege is really gentle, and He Wei thinks she has some talents, but standing with her, she feels ashamed."

"He Qing was smart since she was a child, and she was taught by a famous teacher. She was a famous talented woman in the Qing Dynasty. Even if the elder brothers in the palace are not as good as her, it is normal for you to be compared to her if you have only a half-knowledge of etiquette after you return to the palace."

She Shuxian comforted He Wei.

It just so happened that Concubine Shu and Concubine Qing took Yongxuan to play in the Imperial Garden. After seeing She Shuxian, they inevitably stopped and saluted.

She Shuxian took the opportunity to say to Concubine Shu: "Sister Concubine Shu, has Yongxuan been naughty recently?"

"Your Majesty is joking, Yong Xing is thirsty for knowledge every day, and has no time to be mischievous."

Concubine Shu proudly introduced Yong Xing.

She Shuxian said again: "Do you mind having one more student?"

Concubine Shu Bingxue was intelligent, she knew what the queen wanted when she heard the words, and said: "I'm afraid that Princess Hewei will not like my talent."

"Concubine Shu, you are too modest."

She Shuxian then smiled and said to He Wei: "He Wei, if you have nothing to do, you can learn calligraphy and poetry from Concubine Shu."

"Is it really possible?"

He Wei was flattered, and said to Concubine Shu: "Ms. Concubine Shu, please don't dislike He Wei!"

"Hewei, you are cute and filial, how could I dislike you."

Concubine Shu smiled and agreed.

Afterwards, the three concubines talked about some trivial matters in the palace, He Wei also had some sibling exchanges with Yong Xing, and each got something.

……

……

After being separated from Concubine Shu and the three, She Shuxian was going back to Yikun Palace, but suddenly saw Prince He carrying the birdcage, so she sent Hewei back to the palace, and she stayed by the rockery under the pretext of admiring flowers.

When Prince He passed by He Wei, seeing her surrounded by servants of Yikun Palace, knowing that the Empress was nearby, he deliberately and casually walked to the back of the rockery, and after saluting, he said with a smile: "The empress has worked hard today."

She Shuxian said: "Compared to being with the prince, this hard work is nothing."

Prince He sighed: "It's a pity that although we have evidence that the Empress Dowager's family is corrupt and broke the law, we still can't bring them to justice!"

"What's the meaning!"

She Shuxian's tone changed.

Prince He said in a low voice, "Does the Empress still remember the disaster relief accident last year?"

Hearing this, She Shuxian had hatred in her eyes, and said: "The empress dowager's kindness, I will never forget it!"

Last year, there was a natural disaster in the south of the Yangtze River, and Qianlong sent Huifanalanarbu to preside over the disaster relief.

When Narbu arrived at the place, he found that not only was the amount of grain transported from the capital for disaster relief only half of what was stated in the imperial decree, but the only half of the grain was also mixed with a lot of sand and gravel!

Although Naerbu has no talent in the world, he is not a mediocre and incompetent corrupt official. After discovering that there was a problem with the food relief, he asked the court for a thorough investigation while submitting a booklet. The victims will not starve to death.

The sad thing is that until Narbu dissipated his family property, the request for a thorough investigation was not responded to, but the imperial envoy came to the capital to investigate Narbu's embezzlement and misappropriation of relief food!

Naerbu has a straightforward personality, when he encounters such overwhelming injustice, he can only cry out for injustice, but the people who have no choice but to murder him are also deeply rooted, even with the full assistance of the prince, they cannot clear up his grievances.

In the end, Qianlong changed Naerbu from beheading to exile for the empress's sake, and ended the matter hastily.

But She Shuxian knew that this matter had something to do with the Empress Dowager, because——it was the Empress Dowager's nephew who was in charge of mobilizing food and delivering it to the disaster area!

Thinking of this, She Shuxian looked at Hong Zhou: "Can Prince He show the evidence to Ben Gong?"

Hong Zhou took out the evidence and said, "This king entered the palace on purpose just to hand over the evidence to the queen."

She Shuxian took the evidence, read it hastily, and said: "This thing cannot be handed over to the emperor for the time being."

"why?"

"The emperor has always ruled the world with filial piety. Even if the empress dowager's family members have made huge mistakes, as long as the country's foundation is not shaken, he will forgive them. We have to wait for a surefire opportunity!"

"Then when will this foolproof opportunity appear?" Hong Zhou asked.

She Shuxian said: "Once the beauties from Huibu live in Baoyue Tower, the opportunity will appear by itself."

She Shuxian believes that as long as Princess Xiang who returns to the Ministry is on her side, the Queen Mother will not be afraid!After all, it was a peerless weapon that could make a hundred thousand troops forget about fighting with their beauty!

……

……

Huo Qingtong is the best bridge to become close friends with Princess Xiang.

Therefore, after She Shuxian returned to Yikun Palace, she recruited He Wei and said, "Miss Huo Qingtong hopes that you can help find her sister, so has she ever mentioned her sister's appearance? Or is there something left for you to do?" Trustworthy things?"

"Hewei and Miss Huo Qingtong met in a hurry, and never asked about these things."

He Wei bowed her head, feeling ashamed of her immaturity.

But She Shuxian said: "Hewei, Miss Huo Qingtong is not an ordinary woman who came to the capital alone thousands of miles away. She didn't mention her sister's appearance or give you tokens, probably because she was wary of you."

"We have promised to help her, how can she be wary of us..."

He Wei was in tears.

She Shuxian suddenly had a headache, thinking to herself, not everyone like you just knows Little Yanzi and pours out all their wealth!

"She is from Hui, you are Manchu, or from the palace, if she is not wary of you, she has ulterior motives."

She Shuxian explained patiently.

When He Wei heard the words, he suddenly realized, and said: "Sure enough, it is He Wei who thinks things are too simple.

She Shuxian said again: "No matter what, since you have decided to help her, you must get a token from her to avoid complications. If she insists on not believing you, you can bring her into the palace, and I will discuss it with her in detail."

"Emperor Niang, this must never happen! She has a knife on her body!"

He Wei suddenly became nervous.

She Shuxian was speechless, and said: "Huo Qingtong has a knife on her body, don't the Imperial Guards have a knife on her body? Won't she hand over her knife?"

He Wei knew that she had made Huang Erniang laugh again, and said in shame: "Huang Erniang, He Wei was wrong."

"You are indeed simple-minded."

She Shuxian sighed and told He Wei to step back.

……

After Hewei left the Yikun Palace, recalling what the Empress had said to herself, she was inexplicably incomprehensible.

She looked at Jin Suo asking for help: "Jin Suo, what's the meaning of Queen Mother's words? Why do I always feel that..."

"Miss, what the empress means is that the affairs in the palace are too complicated. If you can't understand it, don't bother to understand it. It's a blessing to have a simple mind."

Jin Suo recited what Rong Wan taught him before.

After hearing Jin Suo's words, He Wei felt a little touched.

The author has something to say:

Huo Qingtong will go to the palace to meet the heroine, but she will definitely not become Concubine Rong~

If she wants to become Concubine Rong, she promises that Qianlong will die that night, O(∩_∩)O haha~
