It's hard to love a concubine

Chapter 823

The weather gradually cooled up.

After Concubine Liang came back from the Queen's Fengqi Palace, her face was a little embarrassed, and the maid, Xi Niang, couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, did the Empress Dowager say something admonishing you again?" Since Concubine Liang took over the management of the harem, The queen was silent at the beginning, and then she called the concubine Liang over to beat her from time to time. For example, after she received it, the clothes from the Shangyi Bureau became slower and slower. Spring has passed half a month and Qiushan hasn't sent them out yet. , or the people in the imperial dining room are becoming more and more inferior to others, etc., the dishes are delivered cold, after all, there is no good time.

However, good concubines are obedient and obedient in front of the queen, and they can do whatever they want when they come back. To put it bluntly, the emperor entrusted this matter to the concubine Zhen, and then the concubine Zhen entrusted her to her, so she has long been unconscious If you stand on the side of Concubine Zhen, you are already on the opposite side with the queen, and it is impossible to live in harmony.

However, Concubine Liang still feels embarrassed. The queen has become more and more unable to control herself over the years. When His Majesty first ascended the throne, she was still very virtuous and generous, which was praised by His Majesty. She was still young, and the emperor didn't particularly favor her, so she would always have a chance, but she was just waiting for the appearance of Concubine Zhen... The empress finally couldn't calm down.

"I didn't reprimand me this time. I just said that the palace has not been lively for a long time, and I want to do it well during the Mid-Autumn Festival." The concubine in a good mood understands.

"It's that simple?" Xi Niang couldn't believe it.

Concubine Liang nodded, "It's that simple." Especially today's attitude is so amiable, Concubine Liang is a little uncomfortable, but she heard that the Queen's second uncle was fighting against General Qi at Yumen Pass. He also made great achievements.

I'm afraid this is where the queen's confidence lies, right?

At the beginning, the emperor felt that Qi Jiang's army was alone and was very uneasy, so he sent the Qin family over there. In fact, it was just a supervisory role. Who knew that in just a few years, that man had mastered half of the army, and he was quite capable. .

But what's the use?

Your Majesty is no longer what he was when he first ascended the throne. Now that he is in power and the courtiers are submissive, whoever makes the emperor afraid is asking for his own death.

"Niang Niang, do you think it's strange? When I was waiting for you outside the door, I saw the eldest prince come to greet you." Xi Niang couldn't help but said.

"He alone?" Concubine Liang remembered that Concubine Zhen brought the two princes to pay her respects.

"That's right, knowing that the empress is talking to you, I took the initiative to enter the side hall. The maids over there seem to have been familiar with it for a long time, and they chatted very enthusiastically. The eldest prince also seemed to be answering questions." Concubine Liang listened. Suddenly, he frowned deeply, "What do you think is going on?"

Xi Niang's eyes flickered, and she said a little uncertainly, "Recently, people are spreading rumors that the First Prince and the Empress are very close."

Concubine Liang showed some surprise.

Qian Xiyao always feels that the eldest prince seems to be very busy recently. Although she used to go out early and return late, at least she can have a meal together. These days, she always meets up when she greets her in the morning, and disappears at other times.

This made her a little worried, thinking that she might be sad about going to the fief again, right?
