imperial concubine

Chapter 152 Harem Celebration
Although I don't know why the third concubine is holding a gun and a stick like this when she sees her, but there are people in Suva who support her today.Just now Su Wan pretended that she was terrified by what the second concubine said yesterday, and asked her to help her. Now is the time to use her.

Thinking about it, Su Wan lowered her head and secretly glanced at the second concubine. The second concubine obviously heard what the third concubine said just now. She nodded slightly to Su Wan and signaled Su Wan with her eyes, don't worry, I will help you she.

Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard the second concubine say to the third concubine: "What is the third sister talking about? Sister Wan just entered the palace, and she managed the Yiliang Palace in an orderly manner. Such a good governance, naturally there will be no Things to do."

Now that the empress is purging Gangji in the harem, Su Wan also took the opportunity to gather the hearts of the people in the Yiliang Palace into his own hands.The Second Prince's concubine's eyeliner is all over the inner courtyard of the palace, so such a big matter can't escape her eyes and ears.

Hearing the second concubine's words, the third concubine snorted and said: "Government is well governed but self-discipline is not strict. If there is nothing to do, nothing will happen. This place is no different than outside the palace. If the fourth concubine refuses to settle down, I'm afraid There must be a punishment."

Su Wan was taken aback when she heard what the third concubine said.Lax self-discipline?He didn't even let him touch the fourth prince who was married to him by Ming Media.Can this also be said to be self-disciplined?As for non-existent right and wrong, this harem was originally a place of right and wrong, so how could there be such a thing as "much ado about nothing"?
After a while, Su Wan said to the third prince and concubine: "Sister-in-law taught me a lesson. In the future, Wan'er will definitely discipline herself more strictly and keep her duty. If Wan'er does something wrong, please ask sister-in-law to teach me a lot."

Although I don't know why the third concubine came after me, but for the present plan, I just want to show my weakness.Anyway, the second concubine had already promised to support her, so why should she bother talking to the third concubine?
Seeing Su Wan's well-behaved appearance, the third concubine was even more angry, "It seems to be well-behaved, but it is actually perverse. It looks innocent and innocent, but its heart is as cruel as a jackal. No wonder my sister talks about you with such a serious tone. "

As soon as the third concubine's words were spoken, the expression of the second concubine's face immediately changed.If she said a few words in secret, the second prince and concubine would pass by with one eye closed.You took the initiative to resolve it just now, but now you have intensified.Even if Su Wan had an enmity with you before, but today he refuses to give himself face?Or is it that you don't take me seriously at all?

Then the second concubine smiled and said: "The third concubine is so talented, she deserves to be a talented girl of gold hairpin. It's a pity that although the talent is good, it suppresses everything else. It's a pity."

What the second concubine said was that the third concubine had all the talents, but she didn't have the virtues to match her.What's even more ingenious is that the third concubine couldn't refute it. If she really did, why would she hurt someone just now?
Hearing the words of the third concubine at this time, Su Wan finally knew why the third concubine targeted her so much.Before, I had provoked the relationship between Fang Yuanli and Qi Ruobing, and it was successful.The third concubine was also from the Qi family, the elder sister she was talking about just now must be Qi Ruobing who was so angry with her in the small courtyard that day!
The princess on one side threw down the melon seeds in her hand, and said with a smile: "If you meet a talented person, it's just about talent. If you meet a person who has no ink, you can talk to her about poetry, songs, and zither." Chess, calligraphy and painting are nothing more than playing the piano to a cow."

Today Su Wannai saw the princess for the first time.When playing cards with the Empress, Concubine Shu, and Yun Jingya in Kunning Palace that day, Su Wan had met the Crown Prince, at that time Su Wan knew that the Crown Prince would definitely not be a wise king in the future.

However, this princess seems to have some skills.Thinking of this, Su Wan couldn't help feeling tempted, and said, "Playing the piano to a cow is not necessarily an elegant person, even if you don't have a little ink, you can go all out. The Crown Princess chooses people with enlightenment, but it is biased."

I have never met the Crown Princess before, although I asked Zhuru to find a lot of information, but after all, seeing is worse than hearing a hundred things, and seeing a hundred things is better than finding out.When I met her today, I happened to try her depth.

Hearing Su Wan's words, the princess smiled slightly, and then said: "Playing the piano to a cow is just arty, and you can only fight in your dreams without any ink. If a person can't even do enlightenment, he can only be a rascal in the market after all. .”

Su Wan's eyes lit up, this princess is quite talented.And judging from what she said to herself, the structure is not small, and she barely has five points of courage, but marrying the prince has wronged her talent and mind.

Thinking of this, Su Wan said to the Crown Princess: "What the Crown Princess said is true. If you don't get enlightened, you don't understand the truth, and if you don't understand the reason, how can you be a human being? It's a pity that some people are better off not enlightened."

There was a lot of sarcasm in the words of the three princes and concubines just now, but at this moment Su Wan became interested, so he also satirized the three princes and concubines by the way.In Su Wan's mind, anyone who can get close to Fang Yuanli and Qi Ruobing must not be a good person!
The third concubine naturally understood the meaning of Su Wan's words, and when she was about to refute, she heard the sound of swallows and warblers outside the door, then the bead curtain was stirred, and more than a dozen nobles from the palace came in.

Seeing such a scene, the third concubine knew that there was no way to argue with Su Wan anymore today.He could only stare at Su Wan bitterly, then followed the Crown Princess and Second Prince Concubine to stand up and salute the extremely noble person who just came in.

The leader among them was Deguiren. She looked at the four of them and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so formal. The people here today are all from my own family, so it's good for everyone to be casual."

Today, the Empress called all the concubines together under the pretext of begging Liang Chujie.Everyone didn't know what the queen wanted to do. After all, the queen was already covering the sky in the palace at this time, so there was no need to do such a thing to show her prestige.

The crown princess smiled and said: "Has the noble man been well recently? I heard that the nobleman caught a cold a few days ago, but I don't know if he has ever recovered? I am ashamed to say that I should have gone to see the noble man, but it is a pity that His Royal Highness is in charge of the country. There are too many trifles going up and down in the East Palace, I was so busy that I forgot about it, and I didn't have time to see the nobleman, so the nobleman must not be angry with me."

Hearing what the Crown Princess said, the nobleman's face was a bit ugly.A few days ago, when the Empress purged the harem Gangji, the first ones to be caught were those who belonged to the Deguiren. As a result, the Deguiren was ordered by the Empress to copy the "Internal Training" ten times and reflect behind closed doors for seven days.

The occasional cold that the princess mentioned just now is actually the seven days when the nobleman stayed at home to reflect behind closed doors.In name, he was caring about the noble man, but in fact he was laughing at her.

After a while, the virtuous man smiled and said, "Thank you for your concubine's concern, the cold has long since healed up. But His Royal Highness is working day and night on state affairs, so you should rest early every day. So as not to be sleepy when you go to court."

Before Emperor Chongwen left Beijing, he ordered the prince to supervise the country.However, although the prince is very concerned about the government, he always misses the point; every day he goes to court and listens to the courtiers' instructions on big and small matters, and he starts to doze off after a long time.Fortunately, there is now Yun Jingya acting as the prime minister for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so there will be no problems with the government.

Seeing the virtuous man being so sarcastic, the Crown Princess' expression did not change, and she said directly: "Thank you for your concern, this concubine will serve His Highness comfortably after returning. You should also be careful, the weather has been getting colder recently due to the west wind .”

The threat in the princess's words was full of meaning.After all, the power in the harem is now in the hands of the queen. If the princess went to the queen and cried and complained, I am afraid that the punishment of the noble man would not be to copy the "Internal Training" ten times and shut the door for seven days of self-reflection.

Just when the nobleman was embarrassed and did not dare to respond, he only heard the eunuch outside the door singing: "Concubine Lin, Concubine Shu, come here!" Solved.

Concubine Lin and Concubine Shu walked into the room and sat down on their seats.Everyone saluted, and then Concubine Shu said with a smile: "Everyone sit down! We are all here to watch the theater today, so there is no need to waste so much etiquette."

Ever since Concubine Shu came in, the virtuous and noble people were like fish in water, talking and laughing with Concubine Shu constantly; and since Concubine Shu came in, the two of them seldom talked unless they were asked by Concubine Shu.

Su Wan's status is low, sitting in a corner on one side, just happy and leisurely.She was eating melon seeds while watching everyone talking and laughing.Although the performances on the stage hadn't started yet, the audience was singing lively first.

At this moment, the eunuch outside the door sang: "The empress is here, Princess Jingya is here!" Following the eunuch's long ending, the queen and Yun Jingya walked in slowly from the Raoliang Pavilion.

Afterwards, Yun Jingya helped the queen to the middle position, and everyone bowed to the queen, "I have seen the empress, the empress is a thousand years old."

The queen sat in the middle seat and said with a smile: "You don't need to be formal, today is a happy day, so just be casual. Sit down!"

Today the empress summoned all the people to the Raoliang Pavilion by begging for Liang Chujie. Firstly, it was to beg for Liang Chujie. Of course, the palace should celebrate this matter;

Everyone took their seats, the queen asked Concubine Shu with a smile, "Concubine Shu, I heard that your budgie has lost his appetite recently, did you let the eunuchs of Qilin Division see what's wrong?"

Su Wan had seen that budgerigar in Zhanqing Palace before, it was very clever.The queen even knew about this kind of thing. It seems that there must be the queen's eyeliner in Concubine Shu's Zhanqing Palace, so she is so clear.

Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Thank you, sister, for your concern. The little eunuch of the Qilin Division has already seen the parrot, and said that it was too much to eat. I think the parrot will be fine in a few days."

Hearing Concubine Shu's words, the queen's eyes flashed with brilliance.Concubine Shu's words are undoubtedly saying that the queen is too lenient and eats too much, be careful to eat so much food, you can't digest it, and in the end you can't get up or down, it's extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at Concubine Shu, the queen smiled and said: "That's good. But you parrot is the same, if you can't eat it, you have to eat it hard. In the end, you will stretch yourself out? You will also watch it in the future and eat as much as you want. How much, be careful and hold on next time."

Su Wan on the side almost laughed out loud.What the queen said was just to say that she had a sense of proportion in her heart, and she could eat as much as she could, but she was not like Concubine Shu, who was obviously full, but still forced to stuff it in.

Concubine Shu was speechless, she could only smile awkwardly and said: "Since my sister is here, can we start the play? If there is no play, I'm afraid I will fall asleep bored."

Concubine Shu didn't dare to take up what the queen said just now. After all, if it continued, it might become an excuse for the queen to punish Concubine Shu, so Concubine Shu resolutely stopped entangled with the queen, and prepared to start a show.

At this moment, the queen said with a smile: "Sister, wait a moment." As she spoke, her eyes swept over the faces of the people in the Liang Pavilion, and she asked seriously, "Where is Su Wan?"
