Dressed as Concubine Xian [Comprehensive Yanxi Palace]

"The concubine pays respects to the queen mother, the queen mother is auspicious."

After completing the etiquette according to the palace rules, She Shuxian got up, sat down with the support of Rong Wan and Zhen'er, and looked at the queen mother above her sincerely.

There was no smile on the Empress Dowager's face, but she didn't look angry either. She Shuxian's heart suddenly sank because she was deliberately neither sad nor happy, and she knew that today was a tough battle.

"I don't know why the Queen Mother summoned the courtiers and concubines?"

She asked as calmly as possible, and played a trembling and unfavored concubine perfectly.

The trembling and flattering question made the Queen Mother feel very comfortable, and said with a smile: "I can't tell you to come to Shoukang Palace to chat if you have nothing to do? Concubine Xian, from your tone, it is clear that you hate me!"

"It's the concubine's blessing to be valued by the queen mother. It's too late for the concubine to be happy. How could she be resentful? The concubine was flattered just now, and she was so happy that she didn't know how to answer, so that..." She Shuxian said as humbly as possible, her head lowered Go down and squeeze out a cute look.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager tapped her pure gold armor on the pineapple table and said, "If you can look like this in front of the emperor, how can Chengqian Palace become a cold palace!"

"The Queen Mother..."

She Shuxian raised her head, showing a panicked expression, and muttered in her heart: Did the old witch take the wrong medicine?It sounds like you want to help me to the top?

The Empress Dowager saw She Shuxian's confusion and explained: "Master Fucha has a gentle and generous personality. She treats her concubines like sisters, which is indeed a blessing in the harem. It's a pity that Mrs. Fucha is too easy-going and gentle, and she doesn't even warn Mrs. Gao when she sees her domineering and pampering her." Your Majesty! I am very disappointed!"

"The Queen Mother means..."

She Shuxian pricked up her ears - she knew that coming to Shoukang Palace would be a bad thing!

A smile appeared on the corner of the Empress Dowager's lips, and she said: "My Palace already knows about what happened in Chuxiu Palace recently."

"The concubine is dull, please make it clear to the Queen Mother."

The old witch spoke in a strange way, and She Shuxian didn't dare to answer casually, for fear of being tricked by the old witch.

The queen mother saw that She Shuxian was cautious, so she raised her head and glanced at the nurse beside her.

Seeing this, Grandma Su took a step forward.

She Shuxian knew that this was the meaning of the question, so she quickly got up and got out of her seat, and stood in front of the queen mother, with a low eyebrow and a pleasing look.

Su Momo pleaded guilty, and then said to She Shuxian: "Did Concubine Xian send someone to the House of Internal Affairs to ask Miss Aman?"

She Shuxian was startled when she heard the words, but she pretended to be indifferent and replied: "It is true."

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly question this court lady who was kicked out of the palace because of a big mistake?"

"because……"

She Shuxian hesitated.

Madam Su accepted the benefits from Chengqian Palace, and when she saw this, she deliberately guided, "Because she once embroidered opera robes for noble concubines, right?"

Hearing this, She Shuxian immediately followed Madam Su's words and said: "That day, when my concubine went to Chuxiu Palace, she saw that the embroidery pattern on the imperial concubine's gown was very delicate. I heard that it was made by the maid of the embroidery workshop. I wanted to find the embroidery girl. Do some embroidery work for the concubine, who knows that the court lady made a big mistake a few years ago and was kicked out of the palace, the concubine felt unwilling, so she asked Zhen'er to go to the House of Internal Affairs to ask a few more questions, without any other intentions."

"You don't dare to think otherwise!"

The Queen Mother added coldly.

She Shuxian hurriedly lowered her head meekly.

Su Momo continued to interrogate the Empress Dowager, and said, "My Majesty ordered Zhen'er to go to the House of Internal Affairs to inquire why the maid made a mistake and left the palace, but did she find anything unusual?"

"The concubine only found out that Aman's name was changed after entering the palace, and she didn't know anything else."

She Shuxian is not stupid, she will not make trouble for herself.

"You really don't know anything?"

The Empress Dowager spoke again, her voice was gentle and sarcasm: "If you really don't know anything, why did you say such things to Mrs. Gao in Chuxiu Palace today!"

"The concubine is stupid."

She Shuxian insisted on playing dumb.

The Queen Mother coughed.

Su Momo squeezed her throat, imitating She Shuxian, and said: "Young concubine, after all Miss Aman is just a court lady who made mistakes. Even if you have had feelings for her because of the opera robe, since she has gone, the empress will not give up." It's time to let go of this relationship and continue to do what a noble concubine should do, instead of dwelling on the past, Shen Ri hugged his theater robe to miss his old friend."

When She Shuxian heard this, her heart sank suddenly.

She knew that every brick in the Forbidden City had ears, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother's eyeliner was really all over the Forbidden City!

On the side of the Queen Mother——

Seeing that Concubine Xian was silent, she got up under the service of the nuns, walked in front of Concubine Xian, pinched her chin, and said softly, "Concubine Xian, do you know something?"

"The concubine...the concubine only knows that as a concubine in the harem, she serves the emperor well, takes good care of her sisters, is not jealous, humble and decent..."

She Shuxian's chin was pinched by the queen mother, and she became physically and mentally stiff, and she jumped out word by word!

Seeing that She Shuxian was afraid of herself like a mouse seeing a cat, the queen mother was quite pleased, and said with a smile, "You are right. What the emperor gives you is yours. If the emperor doesn't give it to you, you can't even think about it!"

"The concubine has always kept her own law and order, and dare not presume in the slightest."

She Shuxian lowered her eyelashes, pretending to be very modest.

The queen mother then smiled and said: "You have always been very quiet, so I plan to make you a noble concubine to help the queen rule the harem."

"Empress Dowager, this is absolutely unacceptable! Concubine Gao is just a little arrogant, there is nothing wrong..."

"She didn't do anything wrong? She made the biggest mistake in the palace! As a favorite concubine, she not only has nothing to give, but also wants things that don't belong to her!"

"The Queen Mother means..."

She Shuxian was so frightened by the queen mother's viciousness that she broke into cold sweat.

The Empress Dowager smiled coldly, and said: "I know that Mrs. Gao is obsessed with the drama of Xu Huang and Fake Phoenix, and that she and Aman, the maid of the Xiufang, steal the cold to give warmth. Fortunately, Wei Yingluo, the palace maid of Changchun Palace, is a little clever, and she managed to push the matter back to Mrs. Gao after some clever words. Although I am getting old, my eyes are not dimmed at all, but I just see through and don't tell the truth."

She Shuxian knew that the Empress Dowager was not a cheap lamp, but she did not expect that the Empress Dowager's mind was so strong that her limbs were cold, as if she had fallen into an ice cave, so she could only try to maintain a submissive posture.

The queen mother finished her thoughts on suppressing Gao, and said to She Shuxian: "Concubine Xian, you are an old man in the hidden mansion, and you are younger than the empress and concubine, logically speaking, you shouldn't be completely unfavored..."

"The emperor doesn't like concubines, and concubines have nothing to do."

She Shuxian replied respectfully.

"Don't like it? There are no beautiful women in the world that men don't like, only beautiful women who don't want men to like."

The queen mother smiled coldly, and said: "Concubine Xian, you don't want to be like your cousin, no one in the old death palace knows?"

"Chen and concubine dare not!"

She Shuxian squeezed her handkerchief tightly, scolding the old witch ten thousand times in her heart.

"If you really don't dare, stop putting on airs, find a way to keep the emperor in Chengqian Palace, give birth to a little elder brother, and sit in the position of imperial concubine as soon as possible! It will also save concubines Jia and Yu from being suspicious of you all day long, doubting you. You are going to take their son away!"

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she waved her hand to make She Shuxian step back: "Kneel down!"

"Whoo."

She Shuxian led the palace people out of Shoukang Palace respectfully, her heart was clear.

It turned out to be the case.

It turned out that Concubine Jia was worried that Concubine Gao would make a comeback, so she deliberately told the Queen Mother about Aman, and wanted to put Concubine Gao to death!

It's a pity that the empress dowager's scheming was even higher than that of the concubine Jia, so she pulled herself into the game and forced herself to be used by her.

The old hag!

She Shuxian cursed bitterly in her heart.

Seeing She Shuxian's gloomy complexion, Rong Wan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Concubine Yu moved back to Yonghe Palace, we are out of reach for the time being. But Concubine Jia is still living in Chengqian Palace. She repays her kindness and ignores the master's position. Do you want to be a slave?" -"

Palace rules never slap people in the face, but this time the concubine Jia made a big mistake, and She Shuxian, as the head of Chengqian Palace, could justifiably send her mother to reprimand and even slap her in the face.

She Shuxian really wanted to slap Concubine Jia twice, but on second thought——

"The concubine Jia did this for the sake of Si elder brother's future. It's a pity..."

She Shuxian sighed pretentiously, and said: "If the fourth elder brother can inherit one percent of the concubine's means, and can win the emperor's favor by himself, the concubine Jia doesn't have to be so obsessed with everyone, making people inside and out! It can be seen from this that no matter how capable a woman is, giving birth to an idiot son is nothing. Forget it, she is also a poor person, so I will not care about her."

"Your Majesty! They have bullied you to the door, how can you do this..."

Zhen'er was so angry at She Shuxian's "tolerance" that she burst into tears.

"I don't care about her, but it doesn't mean that the imperial concubine won't care about her."

She Shuxian smiled, and said to Rong Wan: "Nurse Rong, I will leave this matter to you!"

"Hey! The slave will definitely get it done!"

Rong Wan showed a knowing smile.

Zhen'er laughed through her tears and said, "Your Majesty is clever."

She Shuxian said: "The harem is most afraid of revealing murderous intent. You are my confidantes, especially you must be cautious in your words and deeds, so that no one can catch the mistakes in your words!"

"The servant understands that the servant will definitely be cautious in the future, and will never let outsiders take advantage of it!"

Zhen'er and Rong Wan answered together.

She Shuxian nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Zhen'er, I haven't seen Yuan Chunwang for some time. Do you know where he went?"

"The servant heard that he has been running very diligently in the Shenwumen recently, and he has a good relationship with the iron flower artist that the imperial concubine found."

"Iron flower?"

She Shuxian froze for a moment.

Rong Wan said: "There are Western fireworks in the palace, and the folks can't afford Western fireworks. During the New Year's festival, entertainers will be invited to perform iron wrought iron flowers. I have seen iron wrought iron flowers when I was young. At that time, late at night, the iron furnace was full of flames. Artists who forged iron flowers danced with high-temperature iron juice and shot iron flowers several feet high. The iron flowers rushed into the air and bloomed one after another, and then fell on the ground like shooting stars... Although the scene was not as gorgeous and delicate as Western fireworks, it was still It is even more magnificent, majestic, and shocking.”

"...Using molten iron to make iron flowers..."

She Shuxian repeated it, seeming to realize something, and said, "Remember, Yuan Chunwang has nothing to do with Chengqian Palace!"
