[Comprehensive] The Concubine's Counterattack Manual

In the early morning of the next day, Lang Hua got up to wash up. The two children were still sleeping soundly on the bed. Lang Hua ordered the palace servants not to wake them up, and went to the cubicle outside to dress up.Bi Shui picked out a pair of golden phoenix hairpins inlaid with precious silk and pearls for her, carefully picked out the appropriate position to put them on, and said softly: "Empress Empress, the other empresses in the harem have come to pay their respects, except Concubine Sun Gui, all of them have arrived. "

Lang Hua picked out a pair of multi-treasure streamer earrings and put them on, and when she heard Bi Shui's words, she smiled softly: "Ms. Sun has been doing this for several years, and she never gets tired of it, even Ben Gong gets tired of watching it. "

The empress is going to suppress it?

Bi Shui's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "What's your plan?"

Lang Hua chuckled, but remained silent.Chang Shi, the housekeeper of Princess Shunde, came in at this time. Chang Shi is also Shunde's wet nurse. She is thirty-five this year. She is still wearing a beige-colored palace dress that shows her figure. Her body is plump and graceful. After a salute, he said firmly, "Your Majesty, it's time for the Eldest Princess to learn embroidery."

Langhua ignored her and continued to make up. Mrs. Chang couldn't understand what it meant, so she didn't see Langhua's answer after waiting for a while, so she raised her voice and repeated what she had just said, saying: "Your Majesty, it's time for the eldest princess to learn embroidery. The servant girl will take the eldest princess back immediately."

Lang Hua smoothed the folds on his clothes, and said suddenly: "The princess is fast asleep, come back half an hour later."

Chang's face sank at that time, "Go back to Empress Empress, the eldest princess has to learn needle embroidery, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, and palace rules and female virtues for an hour. It's getting late now, please hurry up, Empress Empress." Wake up the princess quickly, otherwise the time will be delayed, if the princess does not learn well in one thing, it is difficult for the slaves to explain to the queen mother."

The housekeeper of the Ming Dynasty treated the princesses harshly and unreasonably.Before the princess gets married, the housekeeper will teach her every word and deed. The housekeeper has the right to exercise the responsibility of teaching the princess. After the princess is married, the housekeeper will be able to take charge of all the affairs of the princess mansion and decide when the princess will meet with the son-in-law. times.This is the ancestral system, even if Langhua is now a queen, he cannot disobey it.

Thinking about it in the previous life, after Shunde got married, was he also bullied by the housekeeper?Did she die without a child because of the handwriting of the housekeeper?

Chang's intentionally brought out the Empress Dowager's name in order to overwhelm Lang Hua and explain her own status.The queen mother's people, even Hu Shanxiang, have to give her three points of face.

In the past, the Chang family would never have dared to speak like this in front of Hu Shanxiang, but now the news that the emperor intends to abolish the empress has spread.Everyone in the palace thought that even if the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty jointly stopped it, how long could they protect the queen?The emperor is the king of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers can stop it for a while, but they can't stop it for a lifetime.A woman who is destined to be abolished, how can they respectfully face her?

But Langhua is not Hu Shanxiang, Hu Shanxiang is kind to others, and treats others leniently when performing palace duties, but what did she get in the end?

Lang Hua opened his mouth slowly, his face no longer as friendly as before, "Princess studies hard, but she gets up early and stays late every day, and often has to stay up late to complete the homework assigned by the female officer. It's really hard work. My palace allowed her to rest for a while today. The Queen Mother has always loved Shunde for the reward that Ben Gong gave her, if she knew, she must have the same meaning as Ben Gong."

This sentence already implies a warning, she really can't blatantly punish the Queen Mother's people, so Lang Hua tried to persuade them to quit first, but if this plan doesn't work, then she will definitely not let it go easily!

Chang's righteousness roared out: "Your Majesty, the ancestral system cannot be violated. You want to reward the princess, even if you reward the princess with some treasures and jewelry, the princess will definitely be happy, but what you do is really making things difficult for the servants."

It's a pity, there are too many people who don't wink in the world, if someone insists on hitting the muzzle, don't blame her!

Lang Hua glanced coldly at Chang Shi, "I don't need your guidance in doing things in this palace, Chang Shi is going to blame the queen on her behalf, Bishui, send her back to the Shang Palace Bureau, and let Chen Shanggong handle it."

Bi Shui happily responded, she had been upset with this old hag for a long time, because she used to be in the Empress Dowager's palace, she made things difficult for these little maids everywhere.There is an old saying that "Feng Shui turns around", after being unlucky for so long, it's time to let it out!

Chang's face turned pale, and she said stiffly: "The servant is pointed out by the queen mother, the empress cannot transfer the servant away."

So she was sure that Langhua would not dare to do anything to her, so she was so rampant?

"Impossible? As a queen, I am in charge of palace affairs. Why can't you, a little housekeeper, be able to move this palace?" Lang Hua ordered in a deep voice, "I will explain to the Queen Mother, you rely on the Queen Mother If the Empress Dowager finds out about it, she will definitely punish her severely without my help."

Seeing the two maids coming up behind him, Chang also knew that Lang Hua was not just talking, so she became anxious and kowtowed twice in a panic, saying: "My lady, forgive me, my queen, please forgive me, slaves don't dare anymore. The servant did something wrong because she cared about the princess, the servant is the princess’s wet nurse, she grew up with her, the princess will cry if she wakes up and cannot see the servant.”

Lang Hua sneered, when he was about to die, he dared to hold on to those false things endlessly, so what about the wet nurse?Shunde was not born by her!

"Paws!"

Chang's complexion changed drastically, and his hands and feet went limp with fright.Bi Shui got the order, stepped forward with a smirk, and bowed left and right at Chang's flowery face.Bi Shui's hands were not vague at all, and with all his strength, Chang's face became swollen like a ball within a few strokes, with a few blood marks on it.

Seeing that it was almost done, Lang Hua asked Bi Shui to drag him away with his mouth covered.She was trying to make an example to the monkeys. If Emperor Xuanzong did not issue the imperial decree for one day, she would always be the empress of Ming Dynasty.She knew that people in the imperial palace always favored the high and flattered the low, but how dare someone like Chang dare to act presumptuously in front of her?I don't know who gave them the courage!

After dealing with Chang's affairs, Langhua saw that it was getting late, so Shi Shiran went to the main hall.

The concubines and concubines in the hall were all seated in order, but only the first seat on the left of Langhua was still vacant, Langhua looked sideways slightly, it was the seat of the noble concubine Sun.

Seeing Langhua arrived, all the concubines greeted him in unison.

Lang Hua sat down and said, "I've kept my sisters waiting for a long time."

We chatted about trivial matters, we could have left early, but Lang Hua looked at the empty seat next to him, sipped his tea gracefully, and sneered in his heart: She wants to see how long Mrs. Sun will delay today.

The queen didn't say goodbye, and the other concubines didn't dare to leave early, but instead of going back to the palace to look at the cold walls, it's better to sit here and wait to see the queen and Sun's confrontation!

After half an hour, there was only a jingle of rings, and the noble concubine Sun Chaoshu was surrounded by the maids, with spring in her eyes and brows, she bowed gracefully, and said softly; "The empress forgive me, the concubine is too late to feel unwell. .” She bowed her knees and saluted, revealing a section of her snow-white neck with dark red dots on it.

Seeing the jealousy of all the concubines present, Concubine He Gui who was sitting on Langhua's right hand snorted coldly, and said in a low voice, "I feel unwell every day, and I haven't seen the young servant go to bed."

Lang Hua smiled and pointed to the seat beside her for her to sit down. After Mrs. Sun settled down, Lang Hua said: "The noble concubine is weak, so don't get up again and come early to pay my respects."

The concubines were taken aback.Sun Chaoshu's smile widened, "The palace rules are strict, how can the concubine be slack on such an important matter as paying respects to the middle palace."

Langhua's tone was calm and indifferent, "The imperial concubine is not in good health. I know that before, I always had to wait for the imperial concubine to leave the morning meeting before the imperial concubine arrived. But now the imperial concubine's illness is getting worse. Even if I don't care, I always It's not good to ask other sisters to wait with me."

What she said was reasonable, but Mrs. Sun didn't think so, she was obviously sympathetic to the concubine, but actually she was jealous of her favor.

She said very sincerely: "Empress, my concubine's illness is not serious, and I can still insist on coming to Kunning Palace every day to pay my respects."

"It's a matter of health, how can the noble concubine be so hasty? I will ask the imperial physician to show the noble concubine." Lang Hua said with a serious face.

Will she go see the imperial physician Hu invited?

Sun Chaoshu smiled, and said: "Thank you, Empress, for your kindness. This concubine is already in good health, and there is no need to bother the imperial physician."

"It turns out that the imperial concubine knows medical skills!" Lang Hua exclaimed.

Sun Chaoshu frowned tightly, "The concubine doesn't understand medical skills, why would the empress say that?"

Lang Hua wondered: "Since she doesn't know medical skills, how does the imperial concubine know that she is already in good health?"

"This..." Mrs. Sun was choked by her, and quickly replied: "The body is my own, so how can I not know what's wrong? I slept well last night, and I woke up feeling much better this morning. His face is also rosy."

Mrs. Sun attended the bed last night, which one of you here didn't understand what she meant?

Bi Shui picked up the curtain and came in, saying, "Ma'am, Doctor Kang is here!"

Langhua smiled softly, "I actually forgot, Imperial Physician Kang came to ask for a safe pulse for my palace today. It's just right, show it to the noble concubine, and save the time to ask the imperial physician again."

Mrs. Sun didn't believe it was a coincidence at all, it was clearly planned by Mrs. Hu on purpose!

Imperial Physician Kang is Hu Shanxiang's confidant, and after seeing the scene in the palace, he knew what was going on. After taking a pulse, he found that Mrs. Sun was not seriously ill at all.However, women always have a few common ailments and pains. Imperial Physician Kang picked one and only talked about it, and he would not say anything too outrageous. Even if other imperial physicians came to make a diagnosis, they would not say that he was bluffing.

Lang Hua nodded, and said slowly, "Since the imperial concubine is in poor health, don't leave Wan'an Palace during this period." Then he said to the concubines present: "Everyone must be tired after sitting for such a long time today. Go back and rest."

In a word, this grounded Mrs. Sun.

Sun was stunned!

The other concubines present were also shocked!

They had also heard about the emperor's deliberate abolition of the empress. Seeing that the empress changed her previous gentle tactics and confronted Sun's head-on, she was so stimulated, she wanted to rise up!

Not to mention Xuanzong's expression when he heard that Langhua banned the Sun family, on the second day, Langhua suddenly received a palace card from Hu Shanxiang's biological mother to ask for an audience.

"Why did mother suddenly come into the palace? Is mother in good health these days? How about the family? Are they all okay?" Seeing her daughter smiling and ruddy, Hu's mother's serious face softened, she looked at Lang Hua The questions were answered one by one, and the mother and daughter talked for a while.

Finally, when talking about the two princesses, Mother Hu suddenly said with emotion: "If your previous child hadn't been lost, I should have a grandson." At the end, she asked, "Shan'er, are you really incapable of having another child?" gone?"

Lang Hua sighed, and said softly: "It's just that the miscarriage hurts the body, the imperial doctor said to rest for a while, it's not suitable for pregnancy for the time being."

A gloomy look flashed in Hu's mother's eyes when she heard the words, she pondered for a long time, and said half-covered, "Shan'er, do you still remember your sixth younger sister, Shanrou?"

Sixth sister?

Lang Hua thought about it carefully, and only thought of a fat girl being held in the hands of the mother.

The smile on Langhua's face gradually faded, she didn't think Hu Mu's sudden mention of the so-called "sixth sister" was just chatting.

Sure enough, Mother Hu said next: "Shanrou is fourteen years old this year, and your father has already reported her for the next year's selection. Shaner, you can't conceive now, and seeing that your posthumous position is about to be lost, I just thought, send your sixth younger sister here to help you. Although your sixth younger sister is not as good as you, I think she is much more brilliant than that foxy descendant. If she gives birth to a prince in the future, you will hug Shaner Go to raise her by your side, if... if Shan'er can't keep your position, then the Hu family will prepare to push Shanrou to the back position."

After listening to what she said, Langhua said quietly: "If I remember correctly, the sixth younger sister should be born by my aunt."

Hu, who was immersed in the sweet dream, did not realize that Langhua's self-proclaimed name had changed, and that a "prince" instantly distanced the distance between mother and daughter.

Hu's mother only gave birth to two sons and two daughters. In Hu Shanxiang's memory, Hu's mother hated concubines and concubines the most. How could she suddenly be willing to let a concubine take the place of queen?

"She has been recorded in my name, and now she is your serious sister."

Lang Hua's face gradually turned cold, and when he spoke, he smiled "huh", which made the atmosphere in the hall even more condensed, "All the co-authorship matters have been arranged, and you just came to inform me."

Mother Hu's cheeks flushed, "Shan'er, don't blame mother."

Lang Hua smiled, and his tone suddenly became more relaxed, "Is this what mother meant or what father meant?"

"This is what your father and I meant." Mrs. Hu sighed, and said earnestly: "Shaner, mother knows you are sad, and mother is also sad, but mother must take into account the century-old prosperity of the Hu family. Hu The family finally joined the family, so it must not be ruined just like that."

"Mother, my daughter has never done anything wrong since she became the emperor's concubine. Even if she failed to give birth to a prince, she gave birth to two princesses for the emperor. If the emperor wants to abolish me, are you really sure that the sixth sister can do it?" Win the holy favor in one fell swoop, and replace the Sun family?"

Mother Hu said eagerly: "As long as Xiao Liu can give birth to a prince, then our family will have hope."

"Mother, do you really think that the emperor wants to depose me because I can't bear a son? She is paving the way for Mrs. Sun!" Lang Hua sneered: "Mother, don't bring up such absurd things in the future, and I will bother you." Bring a word to my father, if you want the family to prosper for a hundred years, let the men make meritorious deeds by themselves, and fight on the battlefield if you have the backbone. If you are promoted to the Hu family, the censor will also play, in short, a family that relies on women to fight for wealth is doomed to not live long."

Hu's mother sighed faintly, Langhua thought she had listened, but she didn't expect her to say immediately: "Where is military merit so easy to earn? There are swords and swords on the battlefield, what if something happens?" Is good?"

Lang Hua was about to be laughed out of anger, "Indeed, the Ming Dynasty is peaceful now, and there are not many wars, but the opportunity is earned by yourself. If you don't want to go to the battlefield, then do your job well. Gold always shines. But if the Hu family The men here are all timid like their mothers, who only want to use women to keep their wealth, even if they give away as many beautiful women as they want, they will not be able to keep the family from declining."
