After rebirth, His Highness Xinshu was pampered by me.

Chapter 214 Digging a pit?

Time flies and it will soon be the day of Dragon Boat Festival.

In Dasheng, the Dragon Boat Festival is also a big day after all, so the palace naturally starts preparing for the Dragon Boat Festival early in the morning.

In the past, Queen Li would always host such a banquet in person, as she was the Lord of the Sixth Palace after all.

But this year, I wonder if it’s because the Fifth Prince is away and Empress Li is tired, so she’s not in the mood to take care of this?
In short, at this year's Dragon Boat Festival, Empress Li specially asked Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wei Shu to come out to help.

You know, such a thing has never happened before.

Who in this harem who has been here for a long time would not know that Empress Li is a person who wants to hold on to the power in her hands until she dies?

Empress Li's desire to control power is engraved in her bones.

It is precisely because of this that even if Queen Li suddenly becomes seriously ill, she is unwilling to share even some chores in her hands with others.

Now that she was preparing for such a big thing as a luncheon, Queen Li suddenly said that she was willing to hand over half of her power and go out?

Concubine Jiang Guifei and Concubine Wei Shu were not stupid people, so they naturally knew that there might be something wrong with this matter.

But Queen Li looked at her dignifiedly and reservedly, as if she really hoped that Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wei Shu could share the burden for her.

Down below, Concubine Wu De and Concubine Wang Xian were also staring at each other, as if they were waiting for Concubine Jiang Gui and Concubine Wei Shu to refuse so that they could take over.

When Concubine Jiang lost her temper, she didn't bother to care about why Empress Li did this, and immediately took over the job.

Concubine Jiang agreed. Concubine Wei Shu hesitated for a moment and could only nod her head and help.

In fact, Wei Shufei didn't want to pay attention to these things.

It's not that Concubine Wei Shu really has no idea about palace power.

As a descendant of Empress Dowager Wei, how could it be possible that Concubine Wei Shu had no idea about the position of the Queen of the Harem?
It's just that Concubine Wei Shu has been in the palace for so long, and she only has one tenth prince under her knees, and the tenth prince is only in his early ten years, so he is still young, so Concubine Wei Shu knows that it is useless for her to rush to seize power now.

Furthermore, Wei Shufei knew something else better.

She knew that because of the presence of Queen Mother Wei and the Tenth Prince, even if she was just a concubine in this palace, she would be very noble.

But similarly, because Empress Dowager Wei and the Tenth Prince were there, she could not show any thoughts of coveting the throne in this palace.

Once she lets others see this, it will definitely not be a good thing for her and the tenth prince.

Therefore, even with the tenth prince, she has always shown an attitude of not caring about the affairs in the palace.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Concubine Wei Shu has not lost much favor over the years.

What's more, for a person with Queen Li's temper, she would suddenly delegate power. Who knows if she has any plans?
So Concubine Wei Shu naturally didn't want to raise her hand regarding the Dragon Boat Festival.

But who knows what went wrong with Concubine Jiang. She knew that Empress Li was probably digging a hole for them, but she still insisted on jumping in.

This Concubine Jiang has always been at odds with Concubine Wei Shu...

Although Concubine Jiang entered the palace later than the other three concubines, she was more favored than the other three concubines. Naturally, she had some ulterior motives with Concubine Wei Shu, who also had a favor.

In addition, Queen Mother Wei has always shown her dislike for Concubine Jiang, which makes Concubine Jiang even more targeted at Concubine Wei Shu.

Although Wei Shufei usually showed an attitude of not caring about everything, she didn't really care at all.Once Concubine Jiang was bullied, how could Concubine Wei Shu not care?

So these two, even though they look like sisters on the outside, they are quite competitive secretly.

Now that Concubine Jiang has taken over the errand of the Dragon Boat Festival banquet, she is also talking bluntly to Concubine Wei Shu. In the end, Concubine Wei Shu can only keep up with the pace?
Queen Li was sitting at the top, looking at Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wei Shu, feeling very satisfied and smiling a little on her face.

Later, Empress Li actually assigned many tasks for the Dragon Boat Festival to Concubine Jiang Guifei and Concubine Wei Shu.

The other concubines just listened with smiles, but only they knew what they were thinking.

But Concubine Wu would be very angry now.

Although in this palace, the four concubines were ranked according to their nobleness, virtue and virtue, but because of the eldest prince, Concubine Wu De never felt that she was lower than Concubine Jiang or Concubine Wei Shu for a long time.

After all, she has been in the palace longer than others, and the eldest prince she gave birth to firmly occupies the position of being the leader among the princes.

Therefore, when Empress Li was looking for someone to help with the luncheon banquet, why did she choose Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wei Shu, but not her?
Concubine Wu felt that this was a way of looking down upon her by Empress Li, and she was naturally unhappy.

However, Concubine Wu De also knew Empress Li's temper, so she was angry at this time and didn't say anything.

Concubine Wang Xian, on the other hand, was sitting at the lowest position of the fourth concubine, with a suitable expression on her face. She occasionally looked at Empress Li, but a thoughtful expression flashed in her eyes.

Empress Li never does anything useless, but I don’t know what Empress Li wants to do at the Dragon Boat Festival this time.

Concubine Wang Xian thought to herself, and then she thought of the fourth and seventh princesses she gave birth to.

The fourth princess has always been close to the third princess born to Empress Li, and the seventh princess has a careless temper...

Concubine Wang Xian felt that no matter what Empress Li wanted to do at the Dragon Boat Festival, she had to give the two sisters a few words!

Because of Empress Li's temporary decentralization of power, the Dragon Boat Festival was very lively when it was being prepared.

Concubine Jiang didn't know whether she wanted to express herself or simply wanted to take this opportunity to overpower Concubine Wei Shu. She was very active when preparing some matters for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Originally, after Concubine Wei Shu got an errand, she went to consult Empress Dowager Wei.

Empress Dowager Wei meant that no matter what Empress Li's plans were, Concubine Wei Shu was told not to interfere too much in the lunch banquet.

If something happens, leave it to the people below to handle it. Wei Shufei should not get involved too much for a long time, so as not to get into trouble.

Originally, Concubine Wei Shu did the same thing at first.

But in the end, driven by Jiang Guifei's provocative attitude, Wei Shufei unknowingly interfered in many things.

Queen Li was sitting in Fengzhao Palace, listening to Shui Xiu talking about the recent lively events between Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wei Shu, and was naturally very satisfied.

It was rare for her to be willing to hand over some of her power. What if she didn't see the results she wanted to see?
Perhaps Concubine Jiang and Concubine Wei Shu were making too much noise in the harem, and even the emperor heard some of the noise.

The emperor also specifically asked Eunuch Yang about this matter. When he learned that it was Empress Li's arrangement, he thought about it for a while and didn't care.

The harem was always not peaceful. No matter how dignified and generous Empress Li was, the emperor knew very well how unhappy she was with the other people in the harem.
