Chapter 74 Ya Fei
Recently, I want to eat a few small snacks from my hometown, so I asked Tinger to prepare the ingredients yesterday, and cooked some by myself. There are osmanthus and lotus root, crystal rose cake, white fungus and lotus seed soup, iced sour plum juice and my own daily. The plum porridge prepared by others.

Sure enough, as soon as these small dishes were served, the Empress Dowager's brows relaxed, she tasted a few mouthfuls with chopsticks, and she was full of praise: "It seems that Ai's family will often come to Concubine Yue to eat here in the future!"

"The empress dowager is very polite. If the empress dowager wants to eat, I will order someone to make it and send it to you!"

The Empress Dowager laughed, her kind face was full of smiles.But the smile did not reach the eyes, and there was even a trace of worry in the eyes.

For some reason, Concubine Yue felt inexplicably uneasy, and felt that the worry in the Empress Dowager's eyes seemed to be caused by herself.

In the next few days, the Empress Dowager came to Yanxi Palace for meals every day, and Concubine Yue became more and more worried every day.

The look in the Empress Dowager's eyes was an undisguised exploration of Concubine Yue, day after day, more rigorous investigation, under such eyes, she was almost restless.

On this day, the maid said in person early in the morning that the Empress Dowager would not be coming to eat today, and asked Concubine Yue to go to Kunning Palace.

Concubine Yue Gui had a feeling that today, everything she was worried about would be revealed, but no one knew whether the result was good or bad, and she even had a feeling that the reveal of this mystery would change her life!
After asking Cai'er to dress herself up, Concubine Yue went to Kunning Palace anxiously. Halfway, she sat on the chariot with sweaty palms.

When I arrived, I heard from the maid at the door that the Empress Dowager let me in, and Concubine Yuegui was able to enter the inner room. The Empress Dowager just got up, and the maid was combing her hair.

When Concubine Yue entered, the Empress Dowager drove away a group of maids: Concubine Yue rarely comes to Kunning Palace, why don't you cook some special dishes for Concubine Yue today, as for this job, leave it to Concubine Yue for the time being! "

"Yes, the Empress Dowager! The maid stepped back, and before leaving, she glanced at Concubine Yue with deep meaning.

"Concubine Yue, come up and comb Aijia's hair!" The empress dowager used Aijia instead of the usual grandma and old woman.

Concubine Yue stepped forward as she said, took the auspicious silver comb from the side, and combed the Empress Dowager's hair carefully.

The hair is no longer black and shiny, and no matter how carefully it is maintained, it has inevitably started to gray.

Suddenly, the Empress Dowager held Concubine Yue's hand, Concubine Yue's hand trembled, and the comb almost fell to the ground.

The Empress Dowager wearing a tortoiseshell jewelry inlaid emerald jade sunflower nail cover lightly touched Concubine Yue's hand: "Sure enough, they are a pair of dexterous and slender hands. I think back then. The Ai family is also like you, with hands like yours." , It’s a pity that I’m old now!”

The Empress Dowager suddenly let go of Concubine Yue Guifei's hand again, and she continued to comb carefully, this time with more caution and a little fear than before.

"Concubine Yue Gui, do you know why the Ai Family prefers you?" Before Concubine Yue could continue, the Empress Dowager continued, as if it was just a question and the answer was not important to her.

"Because you look like Ai Jia when he was young, and more importantly, you are smart enough and capable enough to do well in the harem! You can make the emperor no longer worry about the harem!"

The Empress Dowager suddenly smiled: "I remember that year was the third year I entered the palace. My sister was widowed, and she got permission from the queen's aunt to visit the palace and lived in Yongfu Palace. That is where I saw my sister and Taizong with my own eyes. The emperor hugged each other. At that time, I was already in one of the five palaces. Besides me, there were my aunt, queen, concubine, and concubine Tong. Hurry up, my sister was named a concubine and lived in it. From that day on, the whole harem has changed. My sister is a weak woman, but the weaker she is, the more she hates her. , My aunt and Emperor Taizong were at odds with each other. The night Fulin was born, I thought I was going to die, but no, he came!"

At this time, the eyes of the Empress Dowager appeared in the eyes of a girl with a happy and sweet misty look, and Concubine Yue felt a little terrified, it was a woman's eyes for her sweetheart.

Concubine Yue Gui remembered the rumor that he was a taboo person who was ordered to be flogged by the first emperor after death, but it was he who allowed the Qing army to enter the customs.

"That night was a night that was stained red with blood. That night, I saw my face in the mirror, such a painful and helpless woman. That was the moment I swore that I must fight on. Continue to fight in the palace, fight more than ever, for yourself and for Fulin!"

"My sister is actually a victim of the struggle in the harem. A woman cannot survive in the harem just by pampering her. But she was very lucky. Soon after the death of Concubine Chen, Emperor Taizong also passed away due to illness. Who among them can say Isn't it partly because of my sister's death, they really love each other, but love is destined to be a luxury in the harem!"

The empress dowager suddenly changed the topic: "Concubine Yue, do you love the emperor?"

This question was too heavy, and it weighed heavily on Imperial Concubine Yue all of a sudden.

"I don't love, Aijia should be right. In fact, Aijia doesn't love Xiandi either. It's just that sometimes when she is free, Aijia will ask herself, what would have happened if she fell in love with Xiandi in the first place? Then maybe nothing would happen, my sister wouldn't." Death, Emperor Taizong will not die, unfortunately, before Emperor Taizong, Aijia met someone first! Everyone said he was brave and witty, but to Aijia, he was stupid, really stupid, knowing that There is no possibility for each other, but they are still so stubborn, and even in the end, there is not even a child left behind!"

Sure enough, it was the person I expected, the first imperial father and regent in the Qing Dynasty, and the first person who dared to propose the idea of ​​marrying the queen mother—Dorgon.

"Love is really a very magical thing, Concubine Yue, if Aijia wants you to fall in love with the emperor?" The Empress Dowager suddenly said sharply, "Concubine Yue accepts the order!"

Concubine Yue Gui hurriedly knelt down: "The empress dowager is a thousand years old!"

"Aijia ordered you to fall in love with the emperor and assist him in his career as an emperor for the rest of his life!"

Concubine Yue Gui did not expect such a decree: "Isn't the Empress Dowager afraid that Concubine Yue Gui will destroy the emperor for love like that person?"

"You won't, you are smart enough to know how to be the best for yourself, and how to deal with this harem with equanimity!"

Is it just love that the Empress Dowager's imperial concubine cannot refuse?What is that, and how should I love the emperor?Concubine Yue hesitated.

"Concubine Yue, Aijia knows what you are thinking. If you want to know whether it is a simple matter to abolish a concubine, Aijia promises you that as long as you complete Aijia's decree, Aijia will help you get back your son's vengeance." !"

Whether it is a threat or a lure, Concubine Yue knows that she has no choice: Concubine Yue will obey Yi's order! "

When returning to the Moon Hall, Concubine Yue's hands and feet were still icy cold, especially the scene before her eyes, that must be the true face of the Empress Dowager.

The benefits under the usual kindness forced him to hold his breath.

Concubine Yue Gui knew from the very beginning that the Empress Dowager was not a simple woman, but she told herself what happened today, she still thought too simple!

What she said was lure and threat, but no matter which one it was, I couldn't refuse it, what a wise and scheming empress dowager!Concubine Yue smiled, but with a bit of sadness and loneliness.

Another day, the Empress Dowager held a family banquet in Kunning Palace, inviting the Emperor and a group of concubines. After that, Concubine Yue met the Empress Dowager for the first time. Compared with the past, this time she was a little more cautious.

The Empress Dowager is still kind and full of smiles on weekdays. However, after seeing the coldness under her kindness, Concubine Yuegui inevitably feels a little concerned in her heart. Seeing it is another scene.

Not long after the banquet started, the Empress Dowager put down her chopsticks and said slowly, "Recently, Ai Jia feels that she is becoming more and more unsatisfactory!"

"Grandma is in good health. If grandma is really worried, or else, my grandson will call the head of the Tai Hospital to take care of grandma at any time!"

"Hehe, that's not necessary. It's just that there is no one close to serve you except Lagu Su Ma! So today is a special discussion with the emperor. If you want to get a pleasing person from the emperor, you can't do it." Do you know if the emperor is willing to part with this love?"

"Grandma was joking, I don't know who grandma has her eyes on..."

Concubine Rong is a girl who is very filial to Ai's family on weekdays, and she is careful and decent in her work. I wonder what the emperor will do? "

Concubine Rong's real name is Nalan Rong, and among the concubines present, there is no second surname Nalan!
Concubine Yue Gui was shocked, and then she smiled faintly from the corner of her mouth. It is a great honor to accompany the queen mother, and she doesn't have to worry about falling out of favor. It's just that such a gift is very important to Concubine Rong who has already taken charge of the harem. In other words, it is bright promotion and dark demotion!The cold blood of the royal family, the ruthless judgment on Concubine Rong's every kind of joy in the usual days, but it also made him secretly vigilant!
Especially after seeing the emperor's consent, Concubine Rong pretended to be grateful for this great favor even though she wanted to cry without tears, and felt happy in her heart.

"However, Concubine Rong is by the side of Ai's family. There is never a day without a master in the harem. There must be someone to share the emperor's worries. I wonder if the emperor has a suitable candidate?"

"Grandson already knows it!" He looked at himself with a smile in his eyes.

The emperor decreed that the concubine was promoted to be a concubine, moved to Yongshou Palace, had the right to exercise the rights of the queen, and assist the queen to control the harem!
From that day on, the harem officially began to be ruled by Concubine Yue!
