The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

Chapter 510 The Cunning Emperor (8)
The muscles on Qin Tianxu's face trembled, his face was a bit unsightly, but he still tried his best to say: "The emperor's birthday, if there is a concubine on the same day, it should be celebrated earlier or later. It is not appropriate for the emperor to bring your concubine to celebrate together. But now I still bring her to the Palace of Political Affairs to accept the congratulations from all the officials. Since the founding of our dynasty, only the imperial concubine and the vice queen can enjoy this honor. No noble concubine or ordinary concubine has ever had such kindness. Should the emperor also Let your concubine retreat for a while?"

Perhaps Xiao Jun had already expected Qin Tianxu's words, so he said without any haste, "Even if I don't bring Concubine Rong to come here today, and her birthday is celebrated today, shouldn't you all congratulate her? According to what you said, only imperial concubines under the old ancestral system can accept the congratulations of all officials. Do you want me to confer honorary concubine Rong as imperial concubine here? If you love Qings really have this intention, I can also follow everyone's wish. "

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was even more shocked. Since the founding of the country, Dagan has never had an imperial concubine at all. No matter how ignorant people are, they can see at this moment that the emperor intends to promote his concubine Rong today. Sealing, these emperors will give it sooner or later, today is just the beginning.

Some wise people have already begun to compromise, some people do not want to offend the Qin Lin family, and some loyal partisans have always stood on the Qin Lin family's stand.

As the queen's father and the head of the court, Lin Qingshan has a seniority after all, no matter what, he always has to persuade him, and he also knows in his heart that this concubine Rong Gui will probably become the queen's strong enemy in the future, so he has to be with her. Only when her wings are not full can she be suppressed.

Lin Qingshan also came out and said: "Your Majesty, being an imperial concubine is not a child's play. Only when the family has made great achievements or the person has great virtue can he be honored with this honor. I really don't know how the noble concubine can be promoted to be an imperial concubine. As a noble Concubine, it is already inappropriate to accept congratulations from all the officials, if the emperor insists on granting grace, I am afraid that the courtiers will criticize him in private."

"Courier's criticism?" Xiao Jun sneered, and glanced coldly at the crowd, "Whatever you want to say, you can say it all in front of me now, and I always ignore private discussions."

Mu Jingzhi saw that both of them had opened their mouths, and knew that those minions would soon agree, so he hurriedly came out and said: "Master Lin's words are wrong. Since ancient times, loyal ministers, kings and ministers have to die. Even if you don’t hesitate, how dare you slander the emperor in secret? Is this something an open-minded courtier can do?”

At this time, Xue Tao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that some people don't need to be so careless. Your concubine's birthday is today, and the emperor congratulates you with grace. Hi, as a subject, I should congratulate, and I really don't think there is anything wrong with it."

Qingchen watched the past carefully from a high position, and saw that in the past half a year or so, a lot of young faces had indeed been added, and these people were the emperor's new force.No matter what the emperor decides, whether it is right or wrong, they will support it, because the struggle for power has nothing to do with right or wrong, what they want to maintain is the majesty of the emperor.

Mu Jingzhi smiled knowingly, and took the lead to kneel down, "My minister congratulates the emperor for thousands of years, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, and congratulate your concubine on the birthday, thousand years old, thousand years old."

As soon as he knelt down, a large group of people immediately followed him and knelt down without hesitation, and some people hesitantly lifted up their clothes, still hesitating.

Sitting high on it, Qingchen saw everything in his eyes. Standing and kneeling are two completely different attitudes. Kneeling means submission or loyalty, at least it will not be an obstacle.

She smiled and said: "Today I am loved by the emperor, let's meet Liewei lord together, if I think I can't bear your congratulations, you don't have to do this ceremony, I can't bear it today, It will not be accepted in the future.”

Although these words are euphemistic, those old foxes understand in their hearts that this concubine Rong Gui is not an easy person to provoke, she is saying, if you don't kneel to me today, you will be my enemy, if he gains power towards me , it will be at odds with you, and then stop thinking about being a fool.

And according to what the emperor meant, no matter how the queen's situation in the harem would be in the future, he would definitely not treat this concubine Ronggui badly.The form of the court is so subtle, and the emperor's ambitions have already revealed his determination to dominate the government. It is really not a wise choice to defy the holy will at this moment.

Before the words were finished, many people knelt down again. Qin Tianxu and Lin Qingshan turned around and saw that the people standing there were all their loyal subordinates, and their expressions changed slightly.

The emperor looked at the outstanding ministers, and he already knew that in the future, these kneeling people, no matter whether Qingchen was a noble concubine or an imperial concubine, they would not obstruct them any more, and the rest of them, when the time was right, they would not be in the way anymore. You can clear the king's side.

This kind of stalemate is still not an option. Now that the emperor's goal has been achieved, then Qingchen will be able to retire. She got up and blessed her body and said: "Your Majesty, I feel a little uncomfortable. First, I will wait for the Emperor in the Nuan Pavilion. I will leave now." .”

Xiao Jun nodded slightly, and gave her an appreciative glance. Smart people always know how to advance and retreat, "Go and rest for a while, I will be there in a while."

Holding Yun Lan's hand and walking down Danchi, Qingchen took each step steadily and gracefully, passing in front of everyone with a smile on her head, her indifference, it seemed that those complex and gloomy gazes did not affect her at all.

The voice of Shan Hu Long live came from behind, Qingchen had a sincere smile on his face, it turned out that the feeling of being side by side with him was so beautiful, even though the eyes were extremely dangerous, but his heart was full of happiness.

Not long after she had waited in the East Nuan Pavilion, she saw the emperor strode in in a good mood. Fuquan had already had the emperor's uniform waiting for her.Qingchen personally helped the emperor change his clothes, and then asked: "Will the emperor go to Xinhua Palace with the concubine right now?"

"It's not in a hurry, how about I walk with you?" Xiao Jun took her hand and walked out, "Do you still like the screen that I gave you?"

Qingchen pursed her lips and smiled, feeling warm in her heart, "The emperor knew that the concubine wanted a child, so he sent someone to send over such a screen. Although the concubine was happy in her heart, if she couldn't conceive, wouldn't she be ashamed of the emperor? "

Yesterday evening, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a screen to the Xihe Palace, saying it was a birthday gift from the emperor, but after unfolding it in the bedroom of the Xinuang Pavilion, it was discovered that it was a twelve-panel "Hundred Sons Raising Spring Screen", made of big-leaf red sandalwood. The frame is exquisitely carved with auspicious clouds, dragons and phoenixes, and the heart of huanghuali is made of huanghuali, all carved by hand.
