After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again
Chapter 394: Fighting for Favor
The old maid scolded the maid, "Who doesn't know that? Why do you have to explain it in such detail? Can't you see that the queen is very angry? Why don't you get off now!"
When the palace maid heard this, she immediately stumbled back.
The old nanny turned around and helped Concubine Qi walk to the table and sit down.
"Have some tea, madam."
Concubine Qi still had anger on her face, and she said coldly, "This won't work. Whether His Majesty comes or not, I will definitely take the position of Queen."
"You are the only imperial concubine in the palace now. Who else can take the position of queen besides you?"
Concubine Qi snorted and said with a smile: "Let those ministers act quickly. If Ren Yuhuan is promoted, it will be troublesome if we delay any longer!"
The old nanny agreed and said many comforting words to soothe Concubine Qi to sleep before she came out to give instructions.
"Her Majesty wants to speed up the process. We need to help her share her worries. Go, contact those concubines who want to join her, and have them work hard to keep your majesty company."
The maid who agreed asked one more question: "Mammy, what about Concubine Kong? I heard that she has found someone to rely on recently and is also ready to make a move!"
The old lady snorted coldly and looked up at the clear night sky: "That's great, then each of us will show our abilities!"
Zanhua and Zijuan came out and met Xiaowu who was serving outside. They immediately pulled him into the room to talk.
"Tell me yourself, how long has it been since you last came to see the Empress?"
Xiao Wu smiled and apologized: "Aunt Zijuan, I have to have something to do before I can come here. I can't just come whenever I want, right? With our current status, many people are watching us!"
Zijuan curled her lips: "Your identity is different now, and there are people waiting to harm you!"
Zanhua smiled and said to Xiaowu: "We don't want to know anything important, we just want you to keep someone."
Xiaowu turned to look at Zijuan, and she nodded as well.
"This is your own idea, right? If the queen needs it, she can tell me herself."
Zanhua smiled and said, "It was the queen's intention. She told us to keep an eye on that person, but we tried and couldn't get close to him, so we wanted Xiaowu Gonggong to help."
Xiao Wu could only shake his sleeves and ask, "Who is it?"
"Lady Kong."
Xiaowu was surprised when he heard this, but he was not embarrassed.
"As for Concubine Kong, she often comes to look for Your Majesty. Your Majesty will avoid seeing her if possible, and will just say a few perfunctory words if she really can't be avoided. She is not favored. Why is Your Majesty keeping an eye on her?"
Zijuan and Zanhua looked at each other, and Zanhua said, "This Concubine Kong is very bad. She attacked us before, so we want to keep an eye on her."
Xiao Wu knew that Zanhua was not telling the truth, so he turned to look at Zijuan and said, "You want me to do something, but you don't tell me the truth. How can I be fooled so easily?"
He stood up and pretended to leave, saying, "If it were in the past, I might not dare to ask, but now I am a popular person serving in front of the emperor!"
Zijuan laughed and stepped forward to hold Xiaowu: "You have to know this yourself, don't regret it later!"
"Noble Lady Kong poisoned the little prince, giving the Queen Mother an excuse to keep him in her possession. Do you want to avenge her?"
Xiao Wu glared and said, "Are you going to attack the little prince?"
Zanhua nodded: "Absolutely true."
Xiaowu rolled his eyes and shook his fingers at Zanhua and Zijuan with a suspicious look.
"Stop lying to me. If this is true, will Your Majesty let Concubine Kong go?"
Zijuan also agreed and said, "The Queen said that we should play the long game and catch the big fish. We should not alarm her for the time being. Anyway, it means that we should not attack her for the time being."
Xiao Wu glared again: "Is there someone behind the scenes?" Zanhua immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Eunuch Xiao Wu, the queen didn't tell you because she saw that you were busy. However, we can't do it, so we can only ask Eunuch Xiao Wu for help."
Xiao Wu was still very pleased. He looked at Zijuan and Zanhua, shook his head and said, "I can only watch and watch, I can't do anything else, so don't get your hopes too high."
When Zanhua and Zijuan saw that Xiaowu agreed, they immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
Early in the morning, Shen Yanzhi set out from Yiku Palace to attend court. On the way, he saw Concubine Kong waiting in the corridor.
She was wearing gauze and standing by the palace wall. She waited until Shen Yanzhi's sedan chair arrived before she came over to pay her respects.
"What are you doing up so early?"
Shen Yanzhi asked impatiently.
Concubine Kong immediately smiled and brought a bowl of tea: "I thought your Majesty would need some water to moisten his throat before going to court, so I'm waiting here. I'm going to make a fragrant tea with last year's snow water and top-grade Pu'er. Your Majesty, would you like to try it?"
"I drank it in Yikun Palace."
Concubine Kong smiled and handed over a black teacup. She smiled without getting discouraged and said, "That was drunk before I went out. Now that you have walked such a long way, Your Majesty, aren't you thirsty?"
Shen Yanzhi had no choice but to ask Xiaowu to bring the teacup over.
"Okay, I'll drink it, you can go back!"
Concubine Kong was very happy and immediately made way with a smile.
Shen Yanzhi was a little confused. Would he be satisfied with just drinking a cup of tea?
Concubine Kong watched Shen Yanzhi walk away before waving her hand for the sedan chair to come over.
"My lady, please get on the sedan chair quickly. Are you tired of standing?"
Concubine Kong sneered: "Am I tired of seeing His Majesty for only a short time every day?"
The nanny who was speaking helped Concubine Kong into the sedan chair and whispered, "Concubine Qi wants you to go."
Concubine Kong snorted coldly and said, "Is Concubine Qi asking me to do something again?"
"I just asked her for help at the beginning, but there are so many things happening behind this!"
But despite all her talk and complaints, Concubine Kong still went there immediately.
Concubine Qi was sitting on the bed in the inner hall, leaning against a soft pillow, while two maids were urging her legs and massaging her hands.
"Oh, Madam Concubine Qi, are you feeling unwell?"
Concubine Kong came forward with concern.
Concubine Qi slowly opened her eyes and said, "It was because I was angry last night."
The old nanny next to her continued, "Ren Yuhuan is really too much. Does His Majesty belong to her alone? She monopolizes him all day long!"
Concubine Kong immediately agreed and said, "That's right, Mammy has expressed our feelings. Who in the harem doesn't hate Ren Yuhuan?"
Concubine Qi said quietly, "I am not feeling well, so I can only ask you to help me vent my anger."
Concubine Kong heard this and laughed, "Your Majesty doesn't even need to tell me this. If I had known that Your Majesty was so angry that she became ill, I would have gone and done it right away before coming back to see Your Majesty!"
"Okay, that's great, go do it now."
After Concubine Qi finished speaking, she closed her eyes again.
When Concubine Kong heard this and saw that no one wanted to keep her, she stood up and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go right away."
Concubine Qi nodded, and Concubine Kong came out and got on the sedan chair. When the sedan chair was far away, she cursed: "Humph, do you think I don't know that I pretended to be sick to deceive His Majesty last night and was punished by Ren Yuhuan? In my opinion, you deserve it. Who wouldn't fight back after doing this again and again?" (End of this chapter)
