Chapter 118: Drunken Queen Mother 19
Wang Qingqing asked Shunyi to speak up if she had something to say, and Shunyi was not polite, and asked her directly: "Niangniang, aren't you very tired of Li Concubine? Why not hand the Seventh Prince to the Concubine Zhen but to the Concubine Li?"
Wang Qingqing arranged the place for the three princes to make Shunyi particularly puzzled.
Because of her outgoing temperament, Concubine Zhen is very popular with the concubine, and the concubine values her everyday.
But how about handing it over to Li Concubine, who has always been uncomfortable with it?
"Why?" Wang Qingqing took a delicate silver fork and stuck a piece of candied fruit into his mouth: "Stupid Shunyi, didn't this palace tell you the reason? Li concubine is learned, prince Follow her and start reading and recognizing early!"
"Niangniang!" Shunyi called out to Wang Qingqing in dissatisfaction. This is what Niangniang said to fool the emperor, and now she is using it to fool herself? You are not stupid!
Shun Yi, who is not stupid, expressed her dissatisfaction while handing Wang Qingqing a cup of slightly stronger tea. The candied fruit is too sweet. Drinking strong tea can relieve tiredness.
Wang Qingqing took the tea and waved to Shunyi, motioning her to come closer: "This palace does not hand over the prince to the concubine for her own good. Although these two princes are young now, they are It's not a fuel-efficient lamp!"
Such a good adoptive mother.
Li Concubine and Zhang Guiren both have the arrogance and arrogance of the literati, and let these two cubs follow the two young literary women, first enjoy the edification of the sage for a few years, and see the saint Can the words educate them?
Three days later, at the greeting ceremony, Wang Qingqing announced the result: "According to His Majesty's will, I will raise and educate the third prince by the concubines, and be promoted from the third rank to the third rank, and move to the west side hall of the Zhongcui Palace from now on."
The concubine Li, who got the will, looked around the concubines and concubines, and then stood up and thanked her, and she was proud of her heart.
I was able to win the chance to raise the prince among so many palace concubines because His Majesty the Emperor chose him, which shows that His Majesty the Emperor still has some kind of friendship for him.
Li Concubine not only got the opportunity to raise the prince, but also moved to the palace after a promotion. This good luck made the concubines and concubines start to get jealous, looking at Wang Qingqing eagerly, I hope she will quickly announce that the next lucky one is herself.
Especially Concubine Wen, she stared at Wang Qingqing, the scorching heat could be turned into essence.
Wang Qingqing continued to announce in the eager eyes of everyone: "With Li Guiren raising and nurturing the seventh prince, the fourth-grade nobles were promoted from the third-grade, and they will be moved to the east side hall of Zhongcui Palace from now on."
?
Li Guiren took the order but heaved a sigh of relief, because both himself and Li Concubines are famous in the harem for their talents, there has always been some signs of separation between the two, if this time Li Concubines Even if she has not been upgraded, the third-rank Li Concubine will be three ranks higher than herself.
Although these punishments do not include caning, flogging and other harsh punishments, it is really unbearable to face the wall, kneel down, copy books, or even slap your mouth every once in a while. .
Although he only increased his grade this time, he did not upgrade to the position of the corresponding nine concubines according to the grade. Li Guiren who took the order still sincerely thanked Wang Qingqing, the nine concubines' position The share is full, and the empress has a heart.
waving Li Guiren to sit down, Wang Qingqing then announced: "With Wen concubine raising and nurturing the ninth princess, the third grade was promoted to the second grade of the concubine, and moved to the main hall of Zhongcui Palace."
Concubine Wen was overjoyed. In her opinion, those who are not in the right position are all empty. Isn't it possible to get a good-looking title? She doesn't care at all!
Serious grade is the most important thing, whether it is salary or daily supply, it depends on the grade, not the position.
Besides, the Empress also moved herself to the main hall of Zhongcui Palace. Since she is not a concubine, she is embarrassed to call herself "Bengong", but she can live in a spacious room. Who cares about this?
Li Concubine and Li Guiren are just bowing their knees as a blessing, Wen Concubine’s dog-leg style makes them quite arrogant, Li Concubine is unhappy and can’t help but leave The corners of his mouth twitched and he scolded "flattering villain" in his heart!
The palace, until the Zhongcui Palace is full of large and small palaces and palaces, it is not enough to stop.
Looking at the group of concubines who stood up to express their gratitude, Wang Qingqing couldn't help but smile slightly, not believing that this scumbag emperor could still step into Zhong Cui gate of the palace.
After the concubines who moved to Zhongcui Palace settled down, the New Year came with the fluttering snowflakes.
On New Year's Eve, Wang Qingqing held a banquet in the Jiaotai Hall as usual, entertaining all the wives from inside and outside.
Wang Qingqing took the throne and accepted the congratulations from the women inside and outside with a kind smile: "Feast!"
The banquet was naturally full of delicacies from mountains and seas. After Wang Qingqing became a country, every dish in front of her was steaming hot.
Wang Qingqing pinched the chopsticks, and with a graceful attitude, she used a little bit of everything before eating very well.
putting down her chopsticks, she sighed and said to the wives who were sitting next to the left: "On this beautiful day, you and I are all gathered together, but Zhao Gao's two sisters are suffering in Ningfu Palace. , this palace is quite unbearable."
The four concubines, Xian, Shu, Zhuang, Jing and several concubines looked at each other, wondering why the Empress had a good day to mention these two.
"You and I are all delicious food, but I don't know how she and I can use this New Year's Eve dinner." Wang Qingqing reached out and pointed to the crystal elbow and a plate of white-cut mutton in front of her to the confidant **** standing in front of her. : "Today's Chinese New Year, send these two dishes to Ningfu Palace to add a dish to Zhao Gao's two sisters."
The **** took the order and packed the food and took it away, and a group of wives complimented and praised the Queen Wang for being gentle, kind, virtuous, generous and benevolent. Everyone loves rainbows, and the wives of wives praise Wang Qingqing without any All politely smiled.
If the brightly lit Jiaotai Hall is compared to a young beauty in luxurious costumes, this Ningfu Palace in disrepair is like a shabby old woman in vicissitudes of life.
The **** who brought the food box came to Ningfu Palace, and after negotiating with the eunuchs on duty, entered Ningfu Palace in the company of two eunuchs on duty.
The New Year seems to have forgotten this remote corner. The whole palace is brightly lit, except for the Ningfu Palace, which is dark and does not see a trace of light.
When several eunuchs carefully walked in with lanterns, Zhao Gao's two daughters were already lying down.
The main hall of Ningfu Palace leaked rain and air, and the second concubine Zhao Gao, who had no salary, no carbon and no brocade, did not choose the main hall. The house fell.
Today's New Year's Eve, in the early morning, the palace began to be filled with a cheerful and lively atmosphere. At night, the palace staff also set off firecrackers, but these had nothing to do with her. Not to mention the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the two of them didn't even have a candle or a charcoal fire.
The two who were cold and hungry scolded each other and tried to vent.
When Mr. Gao heard the movement, he wrapped his clothes hastily and ran out. When he saw the food box in the hand of the eunuch, he could not wait to ask: "But your majesty's reward?"
The **** shook his head and taunted: "Are you still dreaming? Could it be that you think you are an immortal? Today's palace banquet, where does Your Majesty remember who you are?"
Don't blame the **** for speaking badly, this concubine who has been rejected by His Majesty the Emperor since ancient times and was put into the cold palace, there are not one hundred and one who can be released, and there is still a chance for Gao to go out? The **** felt very mysterious, and he had no fear of offending her.
The words of the **** made Zhao, who ran after Gao, pale, the emperor is still young and has no ability to take care of himself. Since it is not given by the emperor, who else is in this harem? Can you remember them?
"What's in this food box?" Zhao asked with trembling lips, could it be a glass of poisonous wine?
"This is the reward given to you by the Empress." The **** said, looking for a place to put down the food box.
Is the queen finally going to attack them both? Zhao's face was full of despair.
There is also the Gao family who thinks the same as her. She saves others by herself. She curses the queen with such a viciousness. Can the queen not hate herself? I'm afraid it's not because they want to kill the two of them day and night. Since this food box is not the emperor's reward, it must be the poison given by the queen?
As soon as the food box was opened, the aroma of meat came out, the **** brought out the crystal elbow and cut the mutton. Makes your mouth water.
The Zhao family was even more unbearable than her. As soon as the **** said that it was a reward from the empress, she rushed over and held both dishes in her hands.
Seeing this scene, Gao hurriedly asked, "Isn't this dish poisoned?"
