Under the Empress Dowager, all members will be King

Chapter 100

Concubine Chen was promoted to a noble concubine, but she couldn't see the slightest joy on her face, replaced by infinite sorrow.

Ah Xiang knelt down and gently pinched Concubine Chen Guifei's feet, Concubine Chen Guifei lay crookedly on the soft bed.

The bead curtain in front of her eyes was swaying gently, the maids came in and out, everything in front of her eyes was moving fast, only Concubine Chen Guifei was still, she felt that she was a bit out of place with the palace in front of her, and an uncontrollable despair arose in her heart .

"Ah Xiang, Ben Gong's eyelids keep twitching."

"Imperial concubine, you have been too tired recently, this servant twisted a hot handkerchief and put it on you."

The warm veil covered Concubine Chen's eyes, Concubine Chen's tense nerves finally relaxed, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"Take it easy, the imperial concubine is asleep."

"Yes." The maids replied in unison.

The Huayi Palace used to be arranged according to the specifications of concubines, but now it is all arranged according to the specifications of imperial concubines.

There are too many places that need to be replaced, and the servants have been busy for seven or eight days before they are properly arranged.

The emperor gave Chen Minjun the grandeur of a noble concubine. There were more and more servants around her every day. They ate delicacies from mountains and seas and wore silk and satin. They were carried when they went out and received when they entered.

There were congratulatory people coming and going, but Zhu Beifeng was not among them.

"Ah Xiang, go and find out, where is the emperor resting today?"

Ah Xiang bent over and walked backwards, muttering in her heart, it's broken, it seems that scolding is inevitable today.

Ah Xiang's eyes were blank, she walked out of Huayi Palace slowly, she didn't go to inquire about the news immediately, but found a secluded place to sit and rest.

As soon as she sat down, she sighed five times in a row, her chest seemed to be blocked by a stone, as if she would suffocate if she didn't take a long breath.

Sitting in the gazebo, Gu Yinwei sipped tea, and could hear Ah Xiang's sighs from a long distance across the flower wall, and ordered Chu Chu to call her to her.

"If Aijia remembers correctly, you are the maid of Huayi Palace, right?"

"The Empress Dowager, Wanan, the slave girl, Ah Xiang, is meeting the Empress Dowager."

"You don't serve the imperial concubine in Huayi Palace, why do you sit under the camellia and sigh alone?"

"Chen Guifei ordered the servants to come out and inquire about the emperor's news."

"Has the emperor not been to Huayi Palace for a long time?"

"That's true. After returning from the pasture in the suburbs of Beijing, the emperor has never been to Huayi Palace again."

"Master Chen used military power to replace your empress with the title of noble concubine, does your empress know about this?"

Ah Xiang was startled, it turned out that the status of the imperial concubine was obtained in this way, she had to go back and tell Chen Guifei immediately.

"Thank you Empress Dowager for clarifying the confusion, the servants will leave first."

Gu Yinwei looked at the camellia in secret, Axiang had been away for a long time.

"Queen, I'm in a good mood today."

"It's not that Ai's family is idle, it's just that she is pitiful."

"The empress dowager is kind."

"The emperor has either stayed in the Penglai Pavilion or the Liangxiao Palace recently, if Axiang told the truth, Concubine Chen would inevitably lose her temper, the master would be angry, and the slaves would suffer.

"It's fine if the Ai family didn't see it. Since I saw it, I can mention a few things if I can."

The camellias are full of buds, some of which have already bloomed, and the flowers are as colorful as the morning glow, and some of which are about to bloom and have not yet opened, exuding a faint fragrance.

Chu Chu took the scissors and cut off the flower branches, and took them back to put in a vase.

When she returned to the Compassionate Ning Palace, Gu Yingxia had already ordered the ladies in the palace to set up the meals and waited for her to come back for lunch.

The two ginseng dolls shook their little feet, and when they saw Gu Yinwei, they showed a big smile.

Gu Yinwei raised his hand and pasted two puppet charms on the ginseng doll's head, and ordered Chu Chu to dig a hole to bury the ginseng.

"Third sister, haven't I played enough?"

"The envoys from Dongzhou will come to the capital in a few days. There are many strangers in Dongzhou. They are full of evil spirits. If you don't bury them, you can wait to enter the coffin."

Gu Yingxia pursed her lips, and said to herself, "Don't let me raise ginseng dolls, I will raise parrots and starlings."

Gu Yin chewed and ate the food slowly, Gu Yingxia tilted her mouth, dropped her chopsticks and walked away.

"I'm stuffed."

Gu Yinwei ordered the court lady to serve two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, and eat with Chuchu Tingtao.

The three talked and laughed, and Ting Tao said with emotion: "The lotus root ribs soup is really delicious."

Chu Chu held the bowl with a smile on her face, Gu Yingxia was sullen for a while, and when she saw that no one was coaxing her, she went back to the dining table.

A pair of chopsticks fell from the table, Ah Xiang reached out to pick up the chopsticks.

"The imperial concubine lost her chopsticks, and this servant will replace you with a new pair."

"No need, I can't eat it."

Concubine Chen's hands trembled violently. The news that Ah Xiang brought back was too shocking for her to accept for a while.

"Axiang, who told you what you said just now?"

"My servant went out to inquire about the news, and I overheard the Empress Dowager Heng Le talking about this matter when I was passing by the Imperial Garden. Look at what I overheard while squatting among the flowers."

After Chen Guifei finished listening, she fell silent.

It took a while for her to speak slowly, "No wonder my father never replied to Bengong's letter. It turned out that such a big thing happened."

Confused, father is so confused.

Concubine Chen was extremely remorseful, she should not have taken action against Concubine Mei rashly, nor should she be jealous with Concubine Xi.

The military power of the Chen family is far more useful than the false title of imperial concubine, so my father really took a step to waste.

"I don't know whether my father has received the letter from me. Ah Xiang Yanmo, I have to write another letter."

The letter sent by Huayi Palace was not sent to the Chen family first, but to the emperor.

Zhu Beifeng opened the letter and looked at the ten lines. After reading it, he found that there was nothing unusual, so he handed it to Shuangxi to seal it, and the eunuch sent it out of the palace.

Zhu Beifeng continued to crouch at the desk to review the memorial, and only raised his head to rest at dusk.

Zhu Beifeng processed as many as 150 memorials every day, and sometimes he couldn't finish the approval during the day, and had to continue to approve at night.

Guo Jia came forward with the green-headed card in his hand, bowed down and respectfully said: "Your Majesty, please turn over the card."

Zhu Beifeng kicked it up, and the green-headed cards were scattered all over the ground.

"Long live calm down."

"You asked me to flip the card, and I flipped it."

"Long live the anger, the slave will leave."

After Guo Jia left, Zhu Beifeng continued to review the memorial.

Guo Jia has been too presumptuous lately, running four or five times a day to the imperial study, the emperor was so annoyed that his head got dizzy.

Just handing over the signboard was enough, and he deliberately placed Chen Guifei's signboard in the middle.

"Is it my flop, or he Guo Jia's flop, one after another, I'm afraid I don't know the benefit of his holding Concubine Chen."

Shuangxi bent down to pick up the green-headed cards on the ground, and put them on the tray one by one, and Chen Guifei's green-headed cards split from it.

Shuangxi hesitated to speak while dragging the cracked green cardboard.

"Your Majesty, the signboard of Concubine Chen Gui, this...you see..."

"Chen Guifei's green card is broken, remove it."

"Yes, the slave will go and tell Mr. Guo."

Shuangxi went out with the green card, Guo Jia wiped the sweat from his brow, and asked, "Chairman, what does the Emperor say?"

"The emperor said that Concubine Chen's green card is broken, so take it down."

"Chairman, remove Chen Guifei's green-headed card, and just make a new one?"

"The emperor didn't say to make a new one, he just said to remove it, you can figure it out for yourself, our family still has to work."

After repeating the emperor's oral instructions, Shuangxi went back to the imperial study to work.
