[Comprehensive] The glory of the traitorous concubine

What she said was a little more specific, and Shui Rong couldn't help being suspicious.But because of his personality, he didn't point it out. He just asked her with a smile: "Have you seen the emperor?"

Xiao Zhang shook his head, saying that he only heard Baoyu mention Qi Guan's reputation before entering the palace, and he was worried that he would get into trouble impulsively, so he mentioned this.

Shui Rong is not a person who likes to be obsessed with details, so he smiled with relief, and the two greeted each other farewell.

##

The emperor nodded, and the matter of canonizing Concubine Zhen was settled.

When Xiao Zhang went to pay his respects to the queen, the sick queen seemed to be relieved, but also seemed unwilling: "Fortunately, Concubine Wan didn't elevate the throne... Concubine Zhen... has always been steady, it's her, that's all."

The queen was really scared, afraid that there would be a second Concubine Wu Gui.

Xiao Zhang's expression flickered slightly, but seeing that the sick queen's complexion was sallow, showing her old age, she still didn't say those worried words.

Why bother embarrassing the queen.She owed the queen a lot of favors, and helping her get rid of Concubine Wu was only because Concubine Wu threatened her with the Jia family.It's time for her to do something for the Queen.

After Xiao Zhang thought about it, he felt that Concubine Zhen was not a simple person.She is too ordinary, her sense of existence is as low as white water, but even so, she still cannot be forgotten and still occupies an important position in the palace.

Concubine Zhen will be the biggest threat to the queen.

Xiao Zhang's predictions were correct, not long after Concubine Zhen was promoted, she took over the most important jobs in the harem, which emptied Xiao Zhang's power.

Xiao Zhang couldn't help it for a while, who made Concubine Zhen a noble concubine, she was one level lower.

Even the emperor who doted on her turned to Concubine Zhen, saying that Concubine Zhen was an old man in the palace, and Concubine Xian was young after all, so she should learn more from Concubine Zhen in everything.

Xiao Zhang was quite calm when dealing with others, but for some reason, he felt upset when he heard the emperor say the same thing.

Yong Zhan could see that she was depressed, even though he still had an iceberg face during the day, he tried to please her in different ways at night, trying to make her happy.

In bliss, she put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear: "Yong Zhan! Yong Zhan!"

He hadn't heard anyone call his name for a long time, and he panicked inexplicably, and instinctively blocked her mouth to prevent her from calling him again.Just those two sounds, his heart was broken, how could he dare to listen again.It is not good for her to ask others to listen to it.

But she didn't care, she yelled hoarsely.The emperor lost to her in the end, and sighed for a long time: "As you please..."

From the second day onwards, Xiao Zhang really did as he pleased and didn't care about anything else.When I was free, I went to sit with the Supreme Emperor and the Empress, and left all the big and small matters to Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen couldn't do it all by herself, so she gave Concubine Wan some work.

One day when Xiao Zhang was watching the queen taking medicine, he happened to meet the prince who came to pay his respects.

The prince is 11 years old this year, just about the age of a bully, and he is rarely seen here to pay his respects.I don't know what kind of wind is blowing today, but this young master was invited here.

The prince cast a sideways glance at Xiao Zhang, ignored her, and just saluted the queen on the sick bed.

Seeing her son, the queen smiled happily and said, "Prince, this is the concubine Xian."

The prince gave an arrogant "hmm".

The queen's complexion changed slightly: "Prince, don't you hurry up to salute the concubine Xian?"

The crown prince raised his eyebrows and said: "Mother, my son is the crown prince of a country, why do you want to salute a concubine?"

The queen frowned and said: "Concubine Xian is your elder." After the queen finished speaking, she glanced at Xiao Zhang anxiously, and hurriedly added to her: "Sister Xian, the prince is still young and ignorant..."

Just as Xiao Zhang was about to say "it's okay", he was robbed by the prince again: "What's the matter with the elders, the status of the son is more noble than her, so there is no need to perform this ceremony."

Xiao Zhang looked at the little prince who was not as tall as his shoulders with a smile, and said slowly: "Your Highness, you can't talk nonsense. The emperor governs the country with filial piety, and everyone knows it."

"Why?" The prince sneered, "You still dare to force this prince to salute you?"

Xiao Zhang smiled reservedly: "I don't mean that. It's just that the prince's words and deeds seem a little inappropriate."

"You!" The prince didn't expect that someone would dare to teach him such a lesson, and it was still in front of the queen.He was about to get angry when he suddenly remembered that the queen would definitely protect him, why not let the queen punish this concubine severely.So he approached the empress and cried: "Mother, she dares to accuse the son, the mother must punish her severely, and make the decision for the son!"

Unexpectedly, the queen put on a straight face this time, grabbed the prince's arm, and said seriously: "Prince, you have grown up too, you have to be sensible. The concubine Xian is a good sister of the queen mother, you must treat her well in the future. She, do you know?"

"Huh!" The prince shook off the queen's hand, spat at Xiao Zhang, and ran out, cursing as he ran, "What!"

Xiao Zhang watched the Prince's back gradually go away.Like the queen, her eyes were full of worry.

No wonder the emperor doesn't like the prince...I really don't know who this child looks like, so...uncute.

If he didn't pretend to be on purpose, with the prince's virtue, I'm afraid the prince will be deposed sooner or later.

##

It was evening when I came back from the queen.Qingyan came over to help her change clothes and hands, and prepare dinner.

In the evening, there was Xiao Zhang's favorite pheasant in the oven, and it was delicious. When the maid came in in a hurry, he knew that something had happened again.

"What's the matter? I didn't see the master eating." Baoqin said.

Qing Shui said anxiously: "My lord, when it was just getting dark, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bumped into the sedan chair of Madam Wan Concubine."

Baoqin glared at her: "What kind of big deal is this? Did Concubine Wan break it?"

"No..." Qing Shui looked at Xiao Zhang's face, and said cautiously, "Miss Wan Concubine...you are happy."

Xiao Zhang's action of picking up the broccoli froze, but she didn't put down the chopsticks, and quickly picked up the piece of broccoli and put it in her mouth. After chewing slowly, she wiped her mouth and asked, "What did the imperial doctor say?"

Qing Shui said: "It is said that the prince was shocked for a while, and the pulse condition was a little unstable, but fortunately there is no serious problem."

Xiao Zhang nodded and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Because Xiao Zhang left after he was full of food, when he arrived at the Wan concubine's palace, except for the empress, the emperor, concubine Zhen, concubine Li and others had already arrived.

Seeing her coming, Concubine Zhen greeted her with a smile, took her hand and walked to Concubine Wan's bed, and said gently: "Sister Wan's child has just passed away. God bless the emperor."

Is Concubine Zhen seeking hatred for Concubine Wan or is she seeking hatred?

Xiao Zhang smiled calmly, turned away and bowed to the emperor: "My concubine congratulates the emperor, congratulates the emperor."

Everyone looked at her in surprise.

Yong Zhan is happy, really happy.For the emperor, the reproduction of offspring is the first priority. As for whose belly the offspring are born from, it is still secondary after all.

Seeing Xiao Zhang like this, he felt a brief distress in his heart, but the joy still occupied more.He took her hand, pulled her to his side, and said softly: "Let's hurry up, and you will get pregnant soon."

Xiao Zhang smiled: "Okay."

Concubine Zhen said with a smile: "Sister Wan Concubine is pregnant, so it's time to raise her status."

Just as the emperor was about to speak, the palace servants suddenly announced that the queen mother had arrived.After all the ceremony was over, the Empress Dowager said with a smile on her face: "Concubine Zhengui is right, it's time to mention Mu Ting's status."

Even Xiao Zhang felt that Concubine Wan and Concubine Jin were logical, but the emperor said: "Mother, let's discuss this matter later."

The queen mother frowned slightly: "Why is this the emperor?"

"The empress is still ill, so it's inconvenient to hold the canonization ceremony." The emperor said in a serious manner: "Before Concubine Zhen ascended the throne, the scale of the ceremony was far inferior to that of Concubine Wu. It has already wronged her."

The Empress Dowager was afraid of wronging Concubine Wan, so she really hesitated at this moment.

Concubine Li was afraid of Xiao Zhang's displeasure, so she hurriedly said: "Yes, besides, the concubine's ceremony is complicated and there are many affairs. Concubine Wan is in the dangerous period of the first three months. What should I do if I am exhausted? Why don't we wait for the little prince to be safe?" After birth, let’s talk about canonization.”

The Empress Dowager nodded: "What Concubine Li said is true, then wait for Mu Ting to give birth to the prince before conferring on him."

Wanpin forced a smile, she wanted to say what if she was a princess, but seeing the joy on the Queen Mother's face, she didn't dare to say it.

Concubine Zhen's smile was also forced: "It's because the concubine didn't think carefully, and she just cared about being happy for Sister Wanbi."

The Empress Dowager patted Concubine Zhen's hand comfortingly, and said, "You are a good person, I understand it in my heart."

Xiao Zhang turned his face away, pretending that he didn't understand the implication of the Queen Mother.

"Emperor." The queen mother suddenly asked, "Where is the prince?"

The emperor said: "I asked him to go back to the East Palace, and thought about it behind closed doors."

"Thinking about it behind closed doors?" The Queen Mother said dissatisfiedly: "He almost hurt Concubine Wan's womb, so that's all?"

The emperor said helplessly: "Then I don't know what the queen mother means?"

The queen mother sneered and said: "The queen heard the news from nowhere. Knowing about Wan concubine's pregnancy, she instigated the prince to bump into Wan concubine's sedan chair. Her heart is to be punished!"

Xiao Zhang was listening beside him, and couldn't help but sneer.Isn't this empress dowager's mind too big?Concubine Wan is only a few days pregnant, how would the queen know?

The emperor was about to explain, but the queen mother glared at Xiao Zhang: "Concubine Xian, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Zhang said with a smile: "It's nothing, the concubine is just happy."

The queen mother couldn't cure her, so she shook her head and looked at the emperor: "Emperor, look at your queen, prince, and this concubine, which one can make people feel at ease? It's fine that today's matter has nothing to do with concubine Xian, but This prince must be severely punished! Someone, go and bring the prince here!"

The empress dowager here is the most senior, and the palace people have no choice but to invite the prince.

Not long after, the prince was brought in.

The emperor felt 12 extremely embarrassed at this time.He really didn't like the prince very much, but he felt that since nothing happened to the concubine Wan and the child, it would be fine to let the prince contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors. How could he punish him severely?The empress dowager brought the queen and concubine Xian into it, which already made him very unhappy.

Xiao Zhang didn't intend to rescue the emperor, and she didn't have any objection to having the prince's brat punished.

So she just stayed on the side silently, and by the way used her eyes to signal Concubine Li not to talk too much.

The emperor hesitated for a long time, and was about to speak, but he heard Concubine Zhen whispered: "Mother, the prince is just a child, how can there be so many bad intentions. Just think of it as praying for the mother and son of the Wan concubine sister, so don't go to war." ..."

The prince knew that the queen mother had always disliked him and favored his third younger brother, so he was not very respectful when saluting to the queen mother.

When he heard that the third prince's adoptive mother Zhen Guifei pleaded for him, he had to admit that the prince was a little surprised.
