[Comprehensive] The Concubine's Counterattack Manual

After discussing the title and status, it's time to discuss where Zhou Jiamin will live in the future.

When Zhou Jiamin entered the palace in the past, she always lived in the side hall of Ehuang's Yaoguang Palace, but now she is Li Yu's daughter-in-law, if she lives in the palace where the empress of the country lives, it will be too far away.

All the concubines spoke out one after another, and finally Queen Mother Zhong chose two places, one is Chengxiang Hall near Yaoguang Hall, and the other is Yide Hall which is very close to Li Yu's Guangzheng Hall.Asked about Li Yu's opinion, he was a little impatient, and said in a very bad tone: "You can discuss it yourself."

Zhou Jiamin's eyes darkened. She had clearly felt Li Yu's displeasure. She didn't know what made Li Yu unhappy. It was fine two days ago, but when she saw Li Yu this morning, she felt his displeasure. Even if it was because of what happened in the Royal Garden that day, she had already explained it. Li Yu forgave her on the spot. It is impossible to suddenly get angry again now.

Zhou Jiamin suddenly thought of a possibility: Could it be that someone chewed her tongue in front of Li Yu and said bad things about her?

Then she shook her head uncertainly: Li Yu didn't call other concubines to sleep at all in the past two days, and most of the people in Guangzheng Palace were bribed by her. If someone had bad intentions, she wouldn't be unaware.

So, what went wrong?

Seeing her son getting angry for no reason, Empress Dowager Zhong's complexion was also a little bad, she simply threw the question to Ehuang, "Nv Decai is the queen's own younger sister, her residence should be determined by the queen."

Zhou Ehuang smiled and threw the question to Zhou Jiamin, "Which palace does my sister like, feel free to tell her."

Zhou Jiamin knelt in the hall, twisted her fingers, and bit her lower lip: "Sister naturally wants to be closer to her."

Seeing her keep fiddling with her fingers, Ehuang knew that her words were against her will.Of course, Zhou Ehuang didn't want Zhou Jiamin to live too close to her, it was better to stay as far away as possible.But she can't show her dislike for Zhou Jiamin too clearly, it would be bad if someone sees the clues, she joked: "Jiamin becomes an imperial concubine, that's considered married, clingy like a boudoir girl What are you doing with your sister?"

Zhou Jiamin blushed, and said coyly, "Sister."

Huang Baoyi said with a smile: "The sisters of Empress Dowager and Decai are so close that I am envious of my concubine. Now it is a good story for the sisters to serve one husband together."

Huang's intentions were pointed out, and everyone present could hear that the crude canonization ceremony prepared by the Queen Mother was just to give Li Yu and Zhou Jiamin a chance to clarify the rumors, which is well known.

Zhou Jiamin knelt in the hall in embarrassment, and looked at Li Yu at a loss, but the latter only looked at Zhou Ehuang, and Zhou Jiamin was extremely angry.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, and Zhou Ehuang said slowly: "My sister likes lotus, and the Yide Hall is close to the Imperial Garden, so let's move to the Yide Hall."

Zhou Jiamin's eyes lit up, and he kowtowed, "Thank you, sister."

"Since it's decided, let Jiamin move in today. Remember, you are now the concubine of the king, you must always pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't be as reckless as before." Queen Mother Zhong paused, and said in a deep voice. Said: "The Palace of Guangzheng is the place where the king handles government affairs, so you don't go there in the future!"

Zhou Jiamin's slightly bright eyes dimmed again in a blink of an eye, and said softly: "Jiamin knows."

Empress Dowager Zhong stroked her forehead, waved her hand, and said, "It's getting late, let's go."

Zhou Ehuang and Li Yu got up together, and led the people in the palace to bid farewell to the Queen Mother.

When Ehuang walked to the gate of the hall, he heard the flat and ethereal voice of the Queen Mother Zhong: "The empress stays here to talk with Ai's family."

Zhou Ehuang returned to the palace, and Li Yu walked outside the palace gate. When he stepped on the dragon and was about to leave, Zhou Jiamin walked up to him with a smile on his face and bright eyes. "Brother-in-law, let me go back to the Guangzheng Palace with you."

As soon as the words fell, Concubine Jiang who came out said: "Mr. Decai, don't forget your identity. You should stop calling the word 'brother-in-law' in the future. I believe the Empress of the Kingdom will not feel comfortable listening to it."

It's not just that Ehuang will feel uncomfortable after hearing it, but now Li Yu feels uncomfortable when she hears her brother-in-law.

He and Zhou Jiamin are already husband and wife, but he is ashamed of Ehuang, so he dare not speak out. Now, because of those unknown rumors, Zhou Jiamin has become his concubine. When he was in the palace, he felt that Ehuang was right. During his indifference, he looked at Ehuang countless times, but Ehuang didn't give him half a look.

Thinking about it carefully, a few days ago we were discussing about marrying Zhou Jiamin, but now he suddenly accepted his sister-in-law!Ehuang must be feeling uncomfortable.

Li Yu felt that he needed to be quiet, but Zhou Jiamin didn't even give him this opportunity.

"Brother-in-law doesn't like Jiamin calling you like that?" Zhou Jiamin pouted and stomped her feet, showing the coquettish attitude of a little daughter.

Concubine Jiang couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Li Yu froze, and hurriedly said, "Jiamin don't call me brother-in-law anymore." Then he told the inner prisoner who carried the sedan chair to leave quickly.

Jia Min was taken aback, and wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Concubine Jiang.

"Ms. Decai, the lord is going back to Guangzheng Palace to handle government affairs. What are you going to do? Didn't you hear the Queen Mother tell you not to go to Guangzheng Palace? You have ignored the Queen Mother's words so quickly."

After several days of unhappiness, Zhou Jiamin was also angry, "I don't care if I go or not!" Jiang Shi is nothing but an old woman who has fallen out of favor. To put it bluntly, she is just Zhou Ehuang's defeat A woman who can't even deal with Zhou Ehuang, who has the right to control her?

"Heh!" Concubine Jiang sneered: "As a concubine of the first rank, I can't control you, a low-ranking daughter-in-law?"

Zhou Jiamin was taken aback, but before she could react, she heard Concubine Jiang continue to say: "Today, the daughter of Decai is congratulated by Jin Feng, and I haven't paid my respects to this palace. Let’s go, let’s salute here.”

This is the Empress Dowager's bedroom, people come and go, Concubine Jiang is here to let him salute, doesn't she want to show her off!

However, Concubine Jiang is a first-rank concubine. Although she has fallen out of favor, she still has the right to discipline low-ranking concubines.Zhou Jiamin rolled her eyes and glanced at the person standing behind the palace gate. She bit her lower lip and forced the tears to flow out, but kept them from falling, and kept rolling in her eyes: "Jiamin pays respects to Concubine Jiang."

Concubine Jiang snorted coldly: "Did Lady Decai forget her new identity again?"

"Ms. Zhou, the daughter of virtue in the Hall of Yide, pays her respects to Concubine Jiang." Zhou Jiamin knelt down again and saluted, his voice sounding more and more aggrieved to others.

The concubine Zhu came up, cast a sidelong glance at Zhou Jiamin, leaned against Concubine Jiang and whispered, "Sister, why are you angry with her? She knows exactly how this picket girl came to be. Fortunately, she is just a picket girl with no status." Gao, there will be opportunities to punish her in the future, so why rush at this moment."

Concubine Jiang was a little unconvinced, but what the concubine Zhu said made sense, she snorted coldly: "Since you are the concubine of the king, your words and deeds represent the royal family. Bring in the four things!"

Zhou Jiamin clenched her fists secretly, dug her nails into her flesh, and said word by word: "Thank you, Concubine Jiang." She stood up gracefully, and under the watchful eyes of all the concubines and court maids, she moved towards her without hesitation. Go to the new residence.

Concubine Jiang stared at Zhou Jiamin's back for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "De? This title is really ironic!"

Standing on the sidelines watching the show, Huang Baoyi stepped forward to comfort her and said: "Sister, don't be angry, this Miss Tuesday is too indiscreet, she dares to disrespect her sister at the gate of the Empress Dowager's palace. Zhou Jiamin is the Queen Mother's biological sister, and the Queen Mother will never tolerate it."

"Have you seen the pale face of Empress Dowager Zhu?" The concubine "tsk tsk" twice, "As soon as my son died, my sister couldn't wait to climb onto the dragon bed. It would be fine if I could cover it up, but it's still embarrassing when this happened. After being stabbed out, it's lucky that she can bear it with such a girl, she really is the empress!"

At this time, the Empress Dowager pinched her wrist and looked her up and down. When Zhou Ehuang was waiting impatiently, the Empress Dowager finally said, "Son, I really wronged you."

Zhou Ehuang lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "As the master of the harem, this is what a concubine should do."

"Zhongxuan is gone, and I don't know when the body of the concubine will die. Jiamin can replace the concubine to serve the king. It would be great if he can add a prince or princess to the king in the future."

Empress Dowager Zhong glared at her, but her tone was very loving, "What nonsense, the Tang royal family is still waiting for you to spread its branches and leaves."

"Zhongxuan is gone, and the lord is left with Zhong Yu as a child." Zhou Jiamin smiled slightly, "These days, my concubine has carefully counted the number of concubines who are well-known in the harem, counting those who have already passed away. There are less than ten. As the empress of the country, she did not select concubines for the lord, which is a concubine's dereliction of duty. The concubine wants to hold a draft and select a few concubines to fill the harem, so that the royal family can thrive."

"It's good that you can figure this out." The Empress Dowager Zhong nodded and sighed: "The lord's knees are empty, which happens to be what I worry about. It's good that you have such a heart, but now that the Tang Dynasty is troubled by internal and external troubles, I'm afraid we can't hold the draft. .”

Zhou Ehuang suggested: "I feel that I can choose among the maids. I see that there are several court ladies with extraordinary looks and conversation, which are no less than the young ladies from everyone. As long as the Queen Mother does not dislike their humble background."

The corners of the Empress Dowager Zhong's mouth curved, and she smiled a little: "Do as the Empress Dowager said." She didn't mind the level of her concubine's background. She had been dissatisfied with Li Yu's doting on Zhou Ehuang all these years. Zhou Ehuang cooled down, but Zhou Jiamin who had no shame appeared again.Now, as long as a woman with an innocent family background, no matter how high or low her status is, can give birth to her grandson, she will have a big reward!

At this time, the maid beside the queen mother walked up to her and said something in a low voice, but Ehuang couldn't hear clearly, and only vaguely heard the words "De Cai Nu" and "Jiang".

Zhou Ehuang took a sip of tea, hiding his desire to get closer to eavesdrop.

The Empress Dowager frowned, and looked up at Ehuang, "Jiamin and Concubine Jiang had a dispute at the gate of the palace."

Ehuang's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately put down the teacup and knelt down to plead guilty.

The Empress Dowager said kindly, "You don't have to be like this. Although Jiamin was at fault for this matter, it was mainly Concubine Jiang who provoked it."

Ehuang shook her head, "Concubine Jiang is an old man serving the lord, she will definitely not provoke trouble for no reason, I understand Jiamin's temperament, probably Jiamin offended Concubine Jiang unintentionally."
