The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 436
On the night of New Year's Eve, the palace gathered at Tonghua Terrace for three banquets, and even the concubines and concubines who had lived in seclusion before were all invited to attend.

After waiting for everyone, singing and dancing started, Empress Dowager Zhang glanced at the crowd, and asked Qingzhu, "Where is the imperial concubine?"

Qingzhu added a cup of sake to the cup in front of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and said with a slight smile, "Does the Empress Dowager still know her? After all these years, she still doesn't want to see anyone, and has sent someone to invite her three times. Everyone was sent back."

"She still complains about the Ai family in her heart." Empress Dowager Zhang said with a wry smile: "The first emperor gave her all the favors, but gave the post and crown prince to the Ai family and the children of the Ai family. In this tone, It has been suppressed in her heart for more than [-] years, and I am afraid that she will never be exhausted in this lifetime."

"Why should the Empress Dowager care about her?" Qingzhu looked at the dancer's dancing posture with clear eyes, "It is the Empress Dowager's favorite 'Drunken Plum Three Que'. Today is a happy new year, so don't mention that unlucky person."

"The Ai family is not angry. The Emperor loved her more than the Ai family. She was ten years older than the Ai family, and she was not as beautiful as the Ai family. She was not gentle enough, and she often had a little temper. But the first emperor chose her. She was spoiled like a moon in the sky, and the late emperor still remembered her boudoir name when he was dying. She has been favored by the late emperor in this life, how can she still care so much about her status?"

"People's hearts are always dissatisfied." Qingzhu said this with a smile, then straightened her body and stood behind Queen Mother Zhang, not interfering with her past disputes between the two of them.

The imperial concubine they are talking about is Xuan Fing's biological mother, the former royal concubine Gongsun's family.

She is ten years older than Empress Dowager Zhang, and is now nearly sixty years old.

When she first entered Emperor Garden City, she was only in her early twenties.

At that time, Murong Ke was nearly fifty years old.

He has always been romantic, and there are countless concubines in the harem, and there are not a few romantic debts he incurred when traveling in micro-clothes.

Having seen so many Yingying Yanyan emperors become her husband, and at the same age as her father, Gongsun never thought that she would fall in love with this man.

But nothing is absolute.

Murong Ke had had countless daughters, but she fell into the hands of Gongsun.

To be precise, when Gongsun entered the palace for the first time to attend the bedchamber, Murong Ke admired him with admiration.

At that time, Empress Dowager Zhang had not yet entered the palace, and the empress was Luo Shi, the daughter of the first-class justice and first-rank chief guard of the imperial court.

The Luo family should be a model for empresses, and the mother's harem does not fight or grab the bodhisattva's heart, which is loved by the subjects of the world.

She is firmly on the throne of the queen, and she has never felt that her position will be shaken by anyone.And the Gongsun clan appeared at this time.

To say that Chu Jin's promotion speed is staggering, Gongsun's is enough to make people's jaw drop.

At the beginning of her entry into the palace, it was just a little-known promise, and she was promoted to a nobleman by leapfrogging after the first time she served in bed.

In another month, Jin was named a concubine.

The next year, she was promoted to concubine.Later, Murong Ke personally conquered the frontier to suppress the barbarians. This battle lasted for nearly five years, and he did not meet his concubine for the entire five years.

On the first day when he successfully returned to the palace, he left Queen Luo cold and went straight to Gongsun's palace.

Half a year later, the Gongsun family became pregnant and was named a noble concubine by the Jin Dynasty.

The following year, she gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor, Murong Xuanpin, who was promoted to be the imperial concubine.

The status of the imperial concubine is second only to the queen, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the same as the deputy queen.

This move aroused criticism from the ruling and opposition parties, and the courtiers jointly wrote to Murong Ke to make him think twice.The Empress Anhao is in power and the imperial concubine is established, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Empress Luo.

But Murong Ke insisted on this, and faced the courtiers' suggestions, he became more frustrated and courageous, and defied all opinions and gave the Gongsun family the title of imperial concubine.

Empress Luo also had heart palpitations because of this incident, and she was depressed every day and her body plummeted. After two years of suffering, she passed away.

Everyone thought that the Gongsun family would be established as the successor when the empress's mourning period expired for three years, but after three years of mourning, Empress Dowager Zhang entered the palace.

Her father held the military power of the 72 foreign troops that could shake the safety of Dazhao. Later, her father died of illness, and the military power fell into the hands of her younger brother Zhang Xiyuan.

Everyone was waiting to see her and Gongsun's fight between snipe and clam. Unexpectedly, after only one year of entering the palace, Empress Dowager Zhang was made a successor by Murong Ke, and even after she gave birth to Xuan Jue, he was appointed as his successor. For the crown prince.

Although most of the reason for this later position was obtained because of the power of the mother's family, the queen is the queen and the official wife.

No matter how favored the Gongsun family is, she is also a concubine, and she has to be respectful to Empress Dowager Zhang.

Love cannot be shared. When Empress Dowager Zhang took away the throne that should have belonged to her, the crown prince that should have belonged to her son, and even divided half of her husband's love, jealousy and hatred filled Gongsun's heart, and the obstacles for her purpose.

She began to stir up trouble in the harem, turning the originally quiet and peaceful harem into a pool of muddy water.

Empress Dowager Zhang fought her wits and courage every day for decades, until Murong Ke died and Xuan Jue ascended the throne.

However, although the Gongsun family is very scheming and scheming, he is a man who can distinguish right from wrong.

When the eldest son of the emperor and the third son of the emperor made trouble and attempted to usurp the throne, she and Xuan Ping secretly contributed a lot to help Xuan Jue.Because of this, Empress Dowager Zhang's attitude towards her changed, not after she became a concubine to make things difficult for her.

It's just that there is a knot in each other's hearts, and it is difficult to untie the day.

Empress Dowager Zhang finished appreciating the dance, and ordered Qingzhu to say: "Go and invite the imperial concubine to come again. You tell her that the Ai family has prepared a New Year's gift for her. Over the years, the number of times the Ai family has seen her You can count them with your fingers." She looked at the sporadic concubines and concubines sitting in the hall, and said with emotion: "The number of old people left behind by the late emperor is getting smaller and smaller every year, and the ones left now are all beauties who are late. Zhu Yanhefa, if you don't keep it together, you will die someday. They are all old people, so is it possible that they really want to lie down in the coffin with the resentment in their hearts?"

"The Empress Dowager knows she won't come, why does she insist on doing so?"

"She will come." Empress Dowager Zhang smiled, and Qingzhu murmured a few words, Qingzhu's eyes flashed, and she hurried to the imperial concubine's palace.

Without the effort of a cup of tea, she really invited the imperial concubine.

Everyone was amazed to see her coming, except for Queen Mother Zhang, everyone including Xuan Jue got up and greeted her.

Empress Dowager Zhang sat quietly, looking at her with a smile on her face.

She glanced at Queen Mother Zhang contemptuously with unyielding energy in her brows, even so, her old body and frustrated expression still flowed out inadvertently.

She didn't salute to Empress Dowager Zhang, seeing her frozen in place, Empress Dowager Zhang didn't care about it, instead she smiled peacefully and pointed to the warm chair next to her, "Sit down."

The imperial concubine glanced at it. It was the chair she had reserved for many years when she went to the Queen Mother Zhang's palace to pay her respects.

The gold threads and jade pearls on it have faded a bit, but they were all given to her by the late emperor alone, and she remembered them all.

She didn't say anything, and sat down on the chair silently.Memories came to her heart bit by bit, which made her feel a little bit sad.

During the banquet, the sound of singing and dancing continued, and the sound of firecrackers exploded outside the hall while the cups were interlaced.

It is a very lively scene.

The imperial concubine raised her cup and drank one alone, a dark shadow appeared between her brows.
