When Concubine Zhang Xian heard about this later, she secretly hated her.At this moment, staring at Xiao Wanniang, wishing to eat her in one bite, he cursed in his heart: This little servant girl is worthy of being that demon man Xiao Canghai, and he didn't realize that she was so scheming.Not only did he plot against himself, but he also won the favor of the queen mother by relying on the eldest son of the emperor.If he knew this earlier, he should have killed her in one breath.

When Xiao Wanniang just entered the palace, she didn't change her habit for a while, she still followed the old address, calling Xiao Canghai a 'son' instead of a 'queen', she was caught by Concubine Zhang Xian and had a fit of anger, but was rescued by Xiao Canghai who came over after hearing the news. went back.After this, Xiao Wanniang was even more cautious in the palace, and never left anything behind, and Concubine Zhang Xian couldn't bear it anymore.

Now that Xiao Canghai was welcomed back to the palace by the emperor in such a grand manner, wouldn't Xiao Wanniang be even more difficult to deal with when he came back from the mountain?

However, Concubine Zhang Xian's target was not Xiao Wanniang, so she just gave Xiao Wanniang a few hateful glances, and went to the Queen Mother to please her.

She said a few auspicious words about the emperor's triumphant return, and seeing the smile on the back of the queen mother, she couldn't help but whispered: "Queen mother, it's not that I'm talking too much. It's a great joy for the emperor to bring the queen back to the palace, but after all, the queen It's a person who lost his virginity, the emperor welcomes the queen back with such great fanfare, and I heard that he also brought that... back, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Although her voice was low, her voice was clear and crisp so that everyone in the room could hear her clearly.

The empress dowager's expression sank when she heard the words.

Just at this moment, the concubine Jingui who was at the side suddenly said to Xiao Wanniang: "Your Majesty, the emperor is returning to the palace today, why didn't you bring the eldest prince?"

Xiao Wanniang looked up at her, and said softly: "I wanted to hug the eldest prince, but the empress dowager ordered the eldest prince to be young and wait here for fear that he would be tired. Why don't you bring the eldest prince after the emperor returns to the palace?" The prince is staying in the house."

Concubine Jingui smiled at the queen mother: "It's better that the queen mother thinks carefully, we rough people can't think so much."

The Queen Mother laughed and said: "If you are still a rough person, there will be no careful people in this palace."

Concubine Jin's face blushed, and said in disobedience: "The empress dowager laughs at the servant girl."

Speaking of which, this noble concubine has a very special status in the palace, even the empress wants to give her some face.Not for anything else, just because she was the personal maid who served the emperor since she was a child, and was rewarded by the queen mother herself to the emperor when she was in the small court of Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River.

At that time, the emperor was only 14 years old, and this noble concubine could be said to be his first woman.Not only that, Concubine Jingui also gave birth to a daughter for the emperor back then, she was the eldest daughter of the emperor of Dasheng.Unfortunately, the eldest princess died of illness when she was only four years old.

At that time, Emperor Shenghui was young and didn't feel much about being a father, and he was on the Northern Expedition. Although he felt sorry for his daughter's death after hearing the news, he didn't take it very seriously.But after all, this is his first child, and after he got married with Xiao Canghai, his sexuality faded a lot, resulting in nothing to do in the harem for many years. The eldest princess has been Sheng Hui for a long time. God's only child.

Therefore, after regaining the country and establishing Luojing as the capital, the first thing Emperor Shenghui did in the harem was to make Xiao Canghai the empress, and the second thing was to confer the honorable concubine Zhang Jin as his concubine. .

This noble concubine is worthy of her title, she has always acted cautiously and carefully, she is gentle and peaceful, she does not fight for favor on weekdays, and she is very respectful to the empress.Moreover, she was the first woman that the Queen Mother personally rewarded her son, and she has a very close relationship with the Queen Mother.

Emperor Shenghui didn't love women. After returning to the country, he felt that the Dasheng harem had too many levels, and the demise of the former Sheng was also related to his father's obsession with the harem, so he learned from the pain and simplified and reduced the harem system.The rank of the harem is lower than that of the queen, and only the four concubines of noble, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous are established, and then there are eight concubines, nine nobles and ten Jieyu, and then there are beauties and talented people, so there is no limit on the number.

Emperor Shenghui's harem is not rich, among the four concubines, apart from the conferred virtuous concubine, Jingui concubine has the highest status.Female family members above the rank of concubine can call themselves "concubines" when facing the queen mother, and those who are below must call themselves "servants".However, my concubine Jingui has been promoted to the throne for a long time, but she has never changed her title. She has always called herself a 'servant' in front of the Queen Mother, which can be described as extremely humble.

With Concubine Jin's interruption, the Empress Dowager also forgot what Concubine Xian said just now, and started talking and laughing with everyone.

Concubine Zhang Xian's heart moved, she glanced at Concubine Jin, seeing that her expression was normal, she didn't know if it was intentional just now.

She was slightly suspicious, but then she thought about it, how many women in the harem really respect the queen?Concubine Jingui usually keeps quiet, but after all, she is the one who gave birth to the eldest princess for the emperor, and has been with her for many years, so how can she not want to be favored by the emperor?As long as you have this heart, you are the queen's natural opponent.And I don't see her and Xiao Wanniang walking around much at ordinary times, I guess it wasn't intentional just now.

She was relieved and wanted to look for another opportunity to provoke the queen mother, but who knew that the queen mother couldn't keep her mouth shut when she mentioned her grandson, and she never got the chance to intervene.

After a while, it was lunch time.There was a message from the front that the Emperor Dao and the Empress had already returned to the palace. After changing their clothes and resting, they came to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager.

The queen mother was delighted to hear the words, so she sat upright on the main seat, and all the concubines also quieted down.

A quarter of an hour later, the emperor and queen arrived hand in hand.

The two changed their clothes, and they were all in formal clothes.

Dasheng is still black, and dragon robes are generally black, with auspicious dragons embroidered with gold thread on them.But since Yang Jing came back from the last expedition, he didn't like black. He felt that wearing it was too solemn and made him look a few years older, so he asked people to change his clothes into bright colors.

Today, he and Xiao Canghai are both wearing yellow robes, but the styles are different, one is the formal dress of the emperor, and the other is the formal dress of the empress.The two came hand in hand, looking from a distance, they really are a couple.

This is the effect of couple outfits.

In order to return home in triumph today, they specially rested overnight in the other palace outside the city last night.Xiao Canghai was already out of confinement, although his health was still not well, but his movements were not hindered, and he didn't feel too tired at this time.

When they walked into Xining Palace, all the concubines headed by Concubine Xian immediately knelt down to greet them.

Yang Jing and Xiao Canghai stood side by side in front of the Empress Dowager. Yang Jing smiled and knelt down to salute: "Queen Mother, the unfilial son has come back. Greetings to Queen Mother."

Xiao Canghai also knelt down respectfully: "Unfilial daughter-in-law Xiao Canghai, please ask mother-in-law Jinan."

In this imperial palace, no, in the entire Dasheng, there are only two people who are qualified to call the queen mother the "mother queen": one is the emperor of Dasheng;

Everyone else, even the concubine Xian, can only call the Queen Mother "Queen Dowager" in front of outsiders.
