The fourth elder brother fell ill from time to time, coupled with Gao Guifei's ingenious invitation to favor, the emperor came to Chuxiu Palace more and more often, so much that the queen mother couldn't bear it.

On this day, all the concubines followed the queen to Shoukang Palace to pay their respects.

The Empress Dowager intentionally let Concubine Yu stay, and her phoenix eyes fell on Concubine Gao, saying: "Concubine Gao, you are a concubine, second only to the empress, why are you not as virtuous as the empress, please advise the emperor a lot. There are three thousand beauties in the harem, your majesty The rain and dew should be shared equally so that the descendants will last forever!"

"The Queen Mother..."

Concubine Gao showed an aggrieved expression: "The emperor likes concubines, and wants to stay with concubines for a while, but concubines can't help it."

"Really? Then why did Ai's family hear that your Concubine Gao was in the Chuxiu Palace Middle School and those opera actors came on stage, babbling and singing operas to invite favors, which provoked the emperor to sing and sing every night! How shameless!"

The Empress Dowager's voice suddenly rose, frightening Concubine Gao quickly knelt down, and begged: "Empress Dowager, my concubine has strictly abided by the "Female Precepts" since the late emperor bestowed her marriage to a concubine, and never violated the rules! Someone must have done this in front of the Empress Dowager. tell tales!"

"Really never crossed the rules?"

The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Yu.

Concubine Yu said: "I heard that Chuxiu Palace has raised a few opera singers, and those operas sing really well, when they are sent to Shoukang Palace, let us listen to them too!"

"The actors were originally prepared for the Queen Mother and the Concubine. The concubine left them in the Chuxiu Palace just to personally supervise their rehearsal."

Concubine Gao sees the wind and turns the rudder, and immediately changes the use of opera singers to honor the queen mother and concubine.

Concubine Yu was able to sit comfortably in the late emperor's harem to where she is today, so naturally she is not a good person. Hearing this, she asked with a smile, "What kind of plays are there? If "Peach Blossom Fan" and "Peony Pavilion" , "The Palace of Eternal Life" and other songs that talk about the relationship between men and women, or praise the faint emperor and concubine, the Ai family does not want to see it."

"That's right, my Qing Dynasty is a big country, so I naturally want to watch songs that are worthy of the aura of a big country. You don't need to listen to such obscene songs!"

Concubine Yu just disliked "Peach Blossom Fan", "Peony Pavilion", "Palace of Eternal Life" and so on about the relationship between men and women, but the Empress Dowager directly classified them as obscene things.

Concubine Gao felt a lump in her heart, and quickly echoed, "I know the seriousness, how could I let them rehearse such filthy things for the empress dowager and other concubines to appreciate. The concubine asked Prince Yi to find a scholar outside the palace to compose a new song, Let the actors rehearse, just wait for the Empress Dowager to bring it out for the Empress Dowager's birthday!"

"It's almost there."

The queen mother said slowly, and then said: "Since it is your filial piety for the matter of raising opera singers in the Chuxiu Palace, the Ai family will not blame you for the time being. It's just that you have received so much favor from the emperor, but there has been no news about this son. It's a big deal, you have to hurry up!"

"The concubine understands that the concubine will persuade the emperor to share more rain and dew, so that there will be more and more descendants of the Aixinjueluo family."

Concubine Gao said aggrievedly.

She is a smart person, knowing that the Queen Mother is dissatisfied with her exclusive favor, and openly wants to share her favor.

Seeing that Concubine Gao knew her mistake, the Empress Dowager allowed her to sit down, and said to the concubine Jia: "Concubine Jia, as the fourth elder brother's mother-in-law, why are you so ignorant of the seriousness! Fourth elder brother has been sick several times this month! Since you stayed I get sick almost every day by your side, so why not send it to elder brother's place earlier and let the mothers take care of you!"

"Queen Mother!"

Concubine Jia knelt down and said with tears in her eyes: "The servant loves Si elder brother from the bottom of his heart, and the slave cannot live without Si elder brother by his side!"

"But the fourth elder brother has never stopped being sick by your side! Especially recently, he has been sick almost every day!"

The queen mother patted heavily, and said: "Concubine Jia, the Ai family asked you to send the fourth elder brother to the elder brother to save face. If you don't know what is good and bad, and continue to mess around, the Ai family will not even have this last face. Here you go!"

Concubine Jia was shocked when she heard the words, and said: "Queen Mother, I don't know what mistake I made to make your old man so angry!"

"I don't know how to repent!"

The queen mother glanced coldly at the concubines.

Empress Fucha was gentle by nature, she was puzzled when she heard the words, and asked: "Queen Mother, what did Concubine Jia do wrong? You want to scold her like this? The concubine is stupid, please tell the Queen Mother clearly."

All the other concubines also sat down one after another, saluted and said: "Concubine/concubine, please make it clear to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother didn't explain, but just winked at Nanny Zhang.

Nanny Zhang said to the queen: "Your Majesty, it's cold on the ground, you're not feeling well, get up quickly."

Empress Fucha looked at the queen mother and said, "Queen mother, please give me a clear explanation."

The following concubines asked questions together.

The queen mother narrowed her eyes and said: "Since you want to know the reason so much, then Aijia will give you a clear reason! Pass the judgment to Zhang Yuan!"

"Whoo!"

Nanny Zhang went out of Shoukang Palace and brought Zhang Yuanjuan in.

After Zhang Yuanjuan entered, he first greeted the Queen Mother, the Concubine, the Empress, and all the empresses, and then lay down on the ground and said, "Queen Mother, why are you summoning this humble minister?"

The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family heard that the fourth elder brother of the concubine Jia has been sick frequently recently, is there such a thing?"

Zhang Yuanpan said with a bitter face: "Now it's the turn of spring and summer, and it's easy to get sick, not to mention Si elder brother is lively and active, it's inevitable..."

"I want to be honest! Don't use these scenes to prevaricate me!"

The Queen Mother interrupted Zhang Yuanjue's words.

Zhang Yuan was helpless, and could only tell the truth, saying: "The fourth elder brother's body is indeed unusually ill."

Hearing this, there was a low gasp in Shoukang Palace, and everyone looked at Concubine Jia with disbelief.

The Empress Dowager said: "Judge Zhang, please tell me how unusual the fourth elder brother's illness is!"

"The fourth elder brother is in good health, but he gets sick frequently because he has problems with his diet and daily life."

Zhang Yuanpan is a cunning person, he only talks half of everything, and it is impossible to tell the truth to make everyone unhappy.

But the Empress Dowager wanted to take advantage of this incident to offend some people. Hearing this, she judged Zhang Yuan: "You are an old man in the Imperial Hospital. Based on your experience, the fourth elder brother is frequently sick. Whose fault is it!"

"...Of course it's the fault of the wet nurses and maids who take care of elder brother."

Zhang Yuan judged his words very slickly.

"But if there is no hint from the master, how dare the maid and nurse treat Si elder brother like this!"

The empress dowager turned cold, and said to the concubine Jia: "The harem often uses all means to fight for favor, but you, a mother-in-law, even use your own flesh and blood in order to fight for favor, it is too cruel! The Ai family will abolish you now! From now on, Brother Si will not have such a heartless mother like you!"

"No!"

Jiapin screamed.

Zhang Momo and others came forward to pull her, but she struggled and refused to be dragged down, and said to the Queen Mother with tears in her eyes: "Queen Mother, even if this slave has 1 minds, he will not set his mind on the fourth elder brother! This time, the slave is really wronged!"

"Wrong! How can the judgment of the Tai Hospital still wrong you!"

As the previous champion of palace fighting, the Queen Mother has more experience in palace fighting than any other woman present, how could she be softened just because of the few tears of Concubine Jia, waved her hand, and asked Nanny Zhang and others to drag Concubine Jia out !

Seeing this, the concubine burst into tears and shouted: "Young concubine! Save the concubine! The concubine did everything according to your orders! The concubine...the concubine cannot live without the fourth elder brother!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned slightly cold.

Concubine Chun was the first to stand up and intercede for Concubine Jia: "Queen Mother, Concubine Jia seemed to say that this matter has something to do with Concubine Jia? Please Queen Mother allow Concubine Jia to clarify the matter."

Empress Fucha also said: "As women, my concubines don't believe that concubine Jia can do vicious things that make her own flesh and blood fall ill and invite pets!"

"Really? Don't you believe it?"

The Queen Mother looked at Empress Fucha and Concubine Chun coldly.

Seeing this, She Shuxian also stood up, knelt down, and pleaded for the concubine Jia: "Although the concubine has not given birth, she also knows that mother and child are connected. The concubine Jia is the child's mother. How could you do something that hurt your own child's favor! Queen Mother, please give Concubine Jia a chance to make things clear!"

"Yes, Queen Mother, please let Concubine Jia explain the matter clearly!"

Shu Pin and others followed suit.

Concubine Gao saw that everyone was pleading for concubine Jia, so she also knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, the concubine also wants to know why Concubine Jia keeps claiming that the concubine has harmed her."

"Okay, since you all want to know why Concubine Jia did this, the Ai family will allow Concubine Jia to clarify the matter in person!"

After the Queen Mother spoke, Nanny Zhang and the others brought Concubine Jia back to Shoukang Palace.

Although the concubine Jia hadn't formally demoted her status at this time, she looked very embarrassed with a haggard face and disheveled hair.

After returning to Shoukang Palace, she first thanked the Empress Dowager for her kindness, and then wiped her tears and said: "The fourth elder brother is the heart of this slave, and the slave dare not forget to be like him even in his dreams. As a tool to invite pets and solid pets, I always let the fourth elder brother learn things that he can't learn at his age. The fourth elder brother is also stupid, and desperately swallows whole, but frequently makes mistakes in front of the emperor, which makes the emperor very unhappy The imperial concubine gradually felt that the fourth elder brother was a burden, and wanted to send the fourth elder brother to the elder brother's place."

"It's not wrong to send elder brother off as the ancestral training."

Although the Queen Mother was not satisfied with Concubine Gao, she still defended Concubine Gao in front of the concubines in the harem.

The concubine also knew that the Empress Dowager would not punish Concubine Gao lightly, after talking about Concubine Gao's plan to send the fourth elder brother to elder brother's place in advance, she cried and said: "I am reluctant to part with the fourth elder brother, I beg the concubine, the concubine... the concubine then... …then I changed all the wet nurses and maids who were sent by the servant to take care of the fourth elder brother. Since then, the fourth elder brother has been sick frequently, and has to pass on the imperial doctor every day... As the fourth elder brother’s own mother, the slave is heartbroken when he sees the fourth elder brother in such a difficult situation. Blood, but due to his humble status, he can't... and dare not... Imperial concubine, please let Si elder brother go! He is a child of the Aixinjueluo family!"

After saying this, Concubine Jia began to cry again, her tone was sad and unbearable.
