Empress Fenghua

Chapter 57
"Wan An, Empress!" All the concubines knelt on the ground in unison, all of them were beautiful, and the room was full of fragrance.

Empress Han said kindly, "Get up! Autumn is approaching. Even though you are indoors, the ground will inevitably be wet and cold. All sisters should pay attention to your health!"

"Thank you, Empress, for your love!" All the concubines took their seats, looking at Hua Chong who was sitting beside the empress.

Empress Han felt everyone's eyes, and smiled slightly, "This is the third lady of Ning Xiang's family, and also the head of Gaoyi County personally appointed by the emperor. Seeing that she is well-behaved and sensible, I will stay in the palace for a longer time."

A slender and beautiful concubine looked at Hua Zhong with a smile on her face, "It's the first time this concubine sees County Lord Gaoyi, and I don't know that County Lord Gaoyi is such an elegant and wonderful person! This concubine looks Looking at it, I feel that this graceful temperament is a bit like a queen's empress!" She was dressed in luxurious stone blue clothes, reflecting the light.

The corner of Empress Han's mouth curled up into a smile, "He Gong is your Concubine Xian who is the most talkative!"

Concubine Xian, Si family.The concubine of the fifth princess, Princess Qingshi, is also the only one who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Concubine Meng.Looking at her beauty, she is actually a bit younger than Concubine Meng, but it's a pity that Princess Qingshi married Gu Ling early.

Hua Zhong smiled all over his face, "Concubine Xian is absurd! How dare Gao Yi say that he looks like the empress? It's just that the empress doesn't dislike it. If Gao Yi stays by her side for a few days, maybe he can stick to the noble spirit of the empress! "

Concubine Xian was all smiles when she heard it, and joked, "Look at it, you can say that Gaoyi County Lord is a wonderful person! He even praised the empress empress! Can such a girl not be liked?"

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the room was harmonious.Hua Chong glanced over the crowd, and saw that the concubines had different expressions, some were perfunctory, some were sincere, some were reluctant, and some were disdainful. It seemed that Empress Han's status was really in danger!
"Empress, what are you joking about? The concubine heard it at the gate of Yongning Palace!" Concubine Meng heard it before she arrived, but when she entered the palace, she was covered in jewels and her face was arrogant.

Concubine Meng's autumn-colored palace attire is elegant and luxurious, but it is somewhat similar to the chrysanthemum yellow on Empress Han's body.Concubine Meng hastily saluted Empress Han, and sat down without waiting for Empress Han to get up.Everyone stood up and saluted, but Concubine Xian sat on the chair with a relaxed expression.

Hua Zhong saw it in his eyes, and gradually understood the relationship in his heart.

Empress Han looked as usual, and asked with a smile, "Concubine Meng seems to be a bit late in paying her respects. Is there something wrong with your body? Or is there something else that delayed you? All the sisters just talked happily together. It was so lively, only Concubine Meng missed it." It's over!"

Concubine Meng smiled and said to Empress Han, "The concubine is not feeling well, it's just that the emperor has just sent a message that he is going to have lunch with the concubine. The concubine thinks that the emperor always likes the pea yellow in the concubine's palace, and is in a hurry to go there." Preparations, I didn't expect to delay paying respects to the queen. Presumably the queen empress is sympathetic to the concubines and serves the emperor, so she won't blame her?"

Empress Han smiled slightly, "Concubine Meng is considerate, the emperor's business is naturally a big one, so you should take care of the emperor first!"

"The empress has always been generous, and everyone in the palace sees it, so she obeys sincerely and does not dare to surpass. But now, Concubine Meng seems to be a little proud of herself, so she doesn't care about the empress?" Concubine Xian spoke sharply and looked at it with a smile Concubine Meng.

Concubine Meng looked at Concubine Xian disdainfully, "I have already explained it just now, the empress does not blame you, Concubine Xian, what are you worrying about?"

Concubine Xian smiled contemptuously, "Concubine Meng always says to use the emperor as an excuse, can I have some fresh ones? My ears can hear cocoons! The empress has a kind heart, Concubine Meng, you can't ignore your decency, Do you want the empress to accommodate you again and again?"

Concubine Meng Liumei was angry, "Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Xian is not on good terms with me, but I didn't expect Concubine Xian to make things difficult in every possible way. Are you following the rules?"

"Concubine Meng talks about the rules, so I will talk to Concubine Meng about the rules!" Concubine Xian played with the precious ring on her finger, "Concubine Meng, as a concubine, you have been late to pay your respects several times. It's not that the emperor went to your place for lunch. It’s just that the emperor doesn’t allow you to get up early. But how many times the emperor will go to Concubine Meng must know it well? What’s more, it’s still early, and the servants are preparing. What can I do for you, Concubine Meng? What? Presumably, Concubine Meng knows the reason."

There was a cold light in Concubine Xian's eyes, "Let's not talk about greetings, I and Concubine Meng are both concubines, and they have titles. Concubine Meng is only named by her surname, and her rank is not as good as this palace. Why didn't you see Meng Fei?" When will the concubine salute this palace? I won’t say anything, but Concubine Meng can’t be confused, can she?”

Concubine Meng's face was reddish, and she said with a smile, "It's just a trivial matter! The concubine is always informal, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive the empress and concubine Xian. It's just that the concubine assists in the six palaces, and has to take care of it." Your Majesty, His Highness the Sixth Highness has not yet married yet, so sometimes it is really hard to do what you want. Presumably Princess Qingshi married far away, and the Concubine Xian who can't get Zi Chenghuan really can't understand it!"

Concubine Xian paused for a moment with her hands playing with the ring, her expression was cold, and she looked up at Concubine Meng.

Hua Zhong smiled in his heart, got up quickly and said, "Concubine Meng really worked hard! Gao Yi felt exhausted after hearing this. The emperor dotes on Concubine Meng, and Concubine Meng is bound to serve diligently every day. The affairs of the six palaces are complicated, so it must be the same. Gao Yi couldn't think of it. Now I only hope that the Sixth Highness will get married early, marry a virtuous wife for Concubine Meng, and help Concubine Meng relieve her worries!"

When Concubine Meng heard Hua Zhong's words, her face was beaming and she was full of smiles, "It's still the county magistrate Gaoyi who understands righteousness. How can the pain of my palace be understood by others who are pampered?"

Hua Zhong sneered in his heart, the "pampered bystanders" probably refers to the Queen and Concubine Xian, right?Concubine Meng is really courageous!

Hua Zhong looked at Concubine Xian at his cold expression, and couldn't help smiling, his eyes full of calculations.Hua Zhong said to Empress Han, "Empress Empress, did you promise Gao Yi a wish yesterday, can you still count on it?"

Empress Han paused, wondering when she had promised Huazhong.Immediately, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Of course it counts, my mother respects the world, how can I not keep my word?"

Hua Chong said with a smile, "The empress is dignified and dignified. Now both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Seventh Highness have married virtuous and virtuous concubines. Shouldn't the Empress also sympathize with the hard work of Concubine Meng and bring about a happy event for His Royal Highness the Sixth?"

Empress Han suddenly realized, and said with a smile, "Gao Yi's words are reasonable. When I mentioned this, I remembered that there was a niece in my natal family. Not only was she born like a flower, but her character was even more virtuous. Now she has reached the age of marriage. Uncle Guo is also reluctant to part with the left and the right, until now he has not allowed anyone, and now he thinks it is just right for His Highness the Sixth Highness!"

"No!" Concubine Meng refused decisively in a hurry, and all the concubines in the room looked at Concubine Meng who lost her composure, feeling a little embarrassed for a while.

Concubine Meng looked at Huazhong angrily, not knowing whether Huazhong was really stupid or not?If you marry a child of the Han family as your daughter-in-law, wouldn't you have to worry about it for the rest of your life?If one day His Highness the Sixth Highness inherits the Datong, is it necessary to make the children of the Han family the queen and give birth to a prince with the blood of the Han family?What a joke!

Concubine Xian sneered, "Could it be that the daughter of the uncle of the country is not worthy of His Highness the Sixth Highness?"

Concubine Meng looked embarrassed, she smiled coyly, and said to Empress Han with a smile, "It's not that the concubine doesn't want to, but that the Sixth Highness, she and the concubine's daughter, Meng Ziyou, are in love with each other, and they are inseparable. This affection is precious." .”

Empress Han smiled gracefully, "In this way, it is also a match made in heaven. A twisted melon is not sweet, how can I have the heart to break up a couple of lovers? I have always heard that Miss Meng's family is good at adjusting her appearance, and she is even more charming. Concubine Meng Why didn't you tell me earlier, so that I can give you the marriage!"

Concubine Meng smiled, "The concubine dared to mention it to the emperor, and today I want to ask the empress for an order!"

"Oh? In this way, the emperor feels that they are a perfect match, so how can this palace fail to achieve good things?" Empress Han smiled, and then hesitated with some worries, "It's just that His Royal Highness's wedding is bound to be grand and grand. The whole country celebrates. Concubine Meng will be busy again!"

Concubine Meng quickly said, "No problem! It's nothing for my concubine to work hard. As long as the emperor and empress are in good health, my concubine will be content!"

"The Emperor is coming..."

"Empress, what are you discussing again? It's so lively?" Chengdi's voice came first, and he seemed very happy, bursting into laughter.

Everyone quickly got up and saluted, after a while of tedious work.Empress Han smiled and sat to one side, "The courtiers and concubines are discussing the marriage of His Highness the Sixth Highness. Concubine Meng is busy with the wedding of the Sixth Highness and at the same time has to deal with the affairs of the Sixth Palace. I'm afraid she has more energy than she wants!"

Emperor Cheng glanced at the crowd, paused slightly on Hua Zhong, then looked at Concubine Meng, and said with a smile, "Let's not mention this for now! Empress, do you know what Jiu'er said in the hall today?"

"Oh?" Empress Han was a little nervous, "The concubine is in the harem, how could she know about the previous affairs? Could it be that Yongjia did something wrong?"

Emperor Cheng waved his hand, "Jiu'er has a calm temperament, how could he do something wrong! Today I discussed the Jingzhou refugees with all the ministers, and all the ministers were helpless and frowning. Unexpectedly, Jiu'er's words were astonishing, and his thinking was clear. He came up with a few good strategies! It solved a big problem!"

Empress Han was smiling, neither arrogant nor impetuous, "Jiu'er has really grown up to be able to share the emperor's worries!"

"It's all empress, you teach well!" The emperor smiled, and then looked at Concubine Meng, "Your Highness the Sixth Highness is not young anymore, it's time to start a family, and what Concubine Meng told me about Meng Ziyou a few days ago, I think it's true. That's right, it's your own niece again, and it doesn't involve mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Let's choose a date to get married!"

"Besides..." Emperor Cheng frowned and thought, "The highnesses are all married, and now it's time to become kings. I thought it would be enough to use the names on their genealogy. Except for the crown prince, the other three highnesses From now on, everyone will be honored by the throne!"

The characters on the genealogy are Xin, Cong, Yong!Hua Zhong couldn't help but nodded, Yongjia's title is very good!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Meng saluted slightly.

The emperor saw that Concubine Meng was weak, and said, "Concubine Meng has become thinner recently! You have to take care of your body. The people below will be very tired if you don't take care of them! Now that the sixth is getting married, I'm afraid you won't be free again. !"

Concubine Meng smiled softly, and said sincerely, "It's a blessing for my concubines to do my best for the emperor and queen, how dare you find it hard and tiring?"

Hua Chongning looked at Concubine Meng pretending to be distressed, "Concubine Meng is so considerate of the emperor and empress, it's really hard work."

Hua Zhong turned his head and said sincerely to Emperor Cheng, "Your Majesty, Gao Yi wants to ask His Majesty one thing!"

Emperor Cheng Xu was really happy today, looked at Hua Chong and said with a smile, "You can say nothing if you have anything to say, now that you are the most honorable county lord in Cheng Kingdom, what else do you want from me? I'm afraid Young Master Xue It was delivered to you long ago!"

"Gao Yi sees that Concubine Meng understands righteousness deeply, and she is disturbed by the day of the Sixth Palace every day. Now that Her Royal Highness is about to get married, it is inevitable that Concubine Meng will be a little secretive and unable to do what she wants." Hua Zhong went from hesitant to smiling lightly, his expression changed. It's very appropriate, "So Gao Yi wants to recommend Concubine Xian to be of the same size as the six palaces, so that Concubine Meng can relax a lot, and can prevent more loopholes and mistakes. Gao Yi just entered the palace, but his heart If there is anything wrong with what you think, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Concubine Meng's face turned purple when she heard Hua Zhong's words, "Concubine Xian has not been in contact with the Six Palaces for many years, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for a while!"

"That's why Gao Yi asked Concubine Meng to help you and Concubine Xian to manage the Six Palaces together!" Hua Chong smiled innocently, as if it was really for the benefit of Concubine Meng.

Concubine Xian stood up and saluted Emperor Cheng with a smile, "The concubine has lived in the palace for many years, and the bluestone is far away from the palace. The palace is idle all day long, and only misses the princess. If it is busy, it can also be active. In this way, it can also serve the emperor and queen. Don't worry, this concubine is willing to give it a try!"

Hua Zhong looked at Concubine Xian, she was really smart, otherwise she wouldn't have raised Princess Qingshi, and she would have protected herself wisely!

Emperor Cheng nodded and thought for a moment, "I remember Lao Qi's concubine, Mrs. Gu, is also a dignified and virtuous person, and she looks smart too. Let her follow Concubine Xian and learn more from you, so she can have a helper! "

Hua Zhong's heart tightened, what did Emperor Cheng mean by this move?It's fine if you think too much, do you intend to make Gu Shuangcheng the future empress?Isn't that Ye Congjia... Hua Zhong shook his head lightly, the big event is still undecided, and it is still unknown who will win the battle!

"That's it!" Chengdi gave an order, and there was no change!

Concubine Meng's face was ashen, with a forced smile, she looked at Concubine Xian with eyes full of resentment and disgust...
