Chapter 123 Why is Concubine Ling targeting me?
"But.
My sisters, please don't laugh at me. The Queen has never been able to do these things.
Now that she is pregnant, this is even more impossible. The Queen can only focus some of her attention on the Emperor.
It is said that because Concubine Ke was born in Mongolia, Concubine Yu also decorated Concubine Ke's residence in Mongolian style. "
"The Queen and I are both pregnant now. If you have any questions, just talk to Concubine Chun and Concubine Yu."
Yanwan's words were originally very conventional, but they really caused a lot of dissatisfaction among Jin Yuyan.
Jin Yuyan is about to give birth, but the emperor doesn't seem to care much. On the contrary, Ruyi, who had once made the emperor unhappy, is becoming more and more concerned about him.
Jin Yuyan became more and more displeased with Ruyi and the legitimate child in her belly.
Jin Yuyan's words not only showed her genuine dislike for Ruyi, but were also a test to see what kind of person Concubine Ke was.
Yan Wan stared at Concubine Ke without making a mistake. She also wanted to know whether this seemingly generous Concubine Ke was really generous or had ulterior motives?
I saw Concubine Ke bowing to Ruyi.
"The Queen is pregnant now, so she should rest and recuperate. As for the affairs of the palace, someone else can take care of them."
"Like my mother, my concubine. My mother is the principal wife, and many things are taken care of by my father's concubines, so my mother doesn't need to do anything."
Concubine Ke also kept her eyes on Ruyi.
Yan Wan guessed that after Concubine Ke was selected, the most important thing her clansmen would teach her was to be respectful to Ruyi, the mistress of the six palaces.
What Concubine Ke said made Ruyi very happy, and she asked her to stand up.
Concubine Ke, who was used to drinking milk tea, took the Longjing tea on the small table and drank a lot of it to show her loyalty to Ruyi.
After Jin Yuyan's test, Yan Wan realized that Concubine Ke was trying to curry favor with Ruyi, who was of noble birth. No wonder she was targeted no matter how she tried to please Concubine Ke in the past.
Yanwan glanced at Hailan, who seemed to be slightly pleased with her, and made a plan in her mind.
"My dear lady, a cup of tea is nothing. If you are new to the palace and feel uncomfortable, please tell us."
The person who spoke was Concubine Qing.
Concubine Ke's words just now have offended most people. She secretly mocked them for being concubines. It seems that Concubine Qing is going to make a move.
Concubine Qing's eyebrows moved slightly, and she continued with a smile:
"My dear lady, just remember that in the palace, there are people who make the decisions on everything, so you must be obedient.
You may not know this yet, but when the emperor was selecting concubines for the first time, it was heard that there was a girl who insisted on calling the late emperor "uncle".
Even Su Peisheng's persuasion couldn't stop her. I heard that she almost lost her qualification for the draft because of this.
Tell me, you didn’t come to the palace to make friends with your relatives.”
Concubine Qing became more and more proud as she spoke, ignoring the increasingly ugly looks of the people around her.
"Mr. Ke, please don't learn nonsense."
Concubine Qing was not far away from Concubine Ke, and she wished she could pull Concubine Ke aside to give her advice.
Faced with such enthusiasm, Ke Guiren nodded silently.
"Princess Qing, I'm afraid you have offended the Queen.
During the selection of empresses, the former Empress Ulanara was put under house arrest. The empress was only a little old at that time and didn't understand the rules.
Even though Su Peisheng had advised her several times, the Queen still insisted on calling the late Emperor "Uncle". It was just a habit. "
The moment Concubine Ke nodded, Jin Yuyan said all this.
She saw that Concubine Qing deliberately offended Ruyi. Given her past experience of offending Ruyi together, Jin Yuyan quickly gave Concubine Qing a way out.
Concubine Qing cried out.
"Oh, Queen, I just thought Lady Ke was interesting, so I wanted to talk to her.
Those selected in the selection that year included Empress Xiaoxian, who was the principal wife, the empress who was the concubine, and Imperial Noble Consort Huixian. "
"Empress Xiaoxian and the Empress are both from prominent families. I thought it was Imperial Noble Consort Huixian who offended the late emperor that day."
Concubine Qing's words were full of sarcasm.
Gao Xiyue, who was only born into a bondservant family, knew to be respectful to the late emperor. However, when Ruyi was selecting concubines for the emperor, she kept calling the late emperor "uncle".
Ruyi was angry but didn't know how to argue.
Seeing her like that, Concubine Qing felt even more proud and bowed slightly.
"Empress, since the late emperor did not blame you for addressing me like this, I think you will not blame me today!"
After Concubine Qing finished speaking, she bowed neatly without waiting for Ruyi to agree or not.
"I would like to thank you, Queen Mother."
Hailan and Ruyi both stared at Concubine Qing. They both knew that Concubine Qing did it on purpose, but they could not find out.
They both understood that if Ruyi wanted to make trouble, Concubine Qing would dare to make something bigger.
Concubine Qing won a great victory. Concubine Ke also realized that she was being used by Concubine Qing. She stood up quickly.
"Empress, I don't know..."
"I'm tired, let's all go."
The smile disappeared from Ruyi's face, and she even walked away without paying any attention to Concubine Ke who was still squatting there.
On the first day of entering the palace, Concubine Ke offended everyone. No one bothered to look at her and just walked right past her. Only after everyone had left did Concubine Ke dare to stand up.
Yan Wan walked behind and looked back at Concubine Ke. Yan Wan assured her that she had more gifts to give to Concubine Ke.
"Chunchan, is the pipa I asked you to prepare ready?"
Chunchan nodded.
Not long after, Yan Wan played a piece of "Yangchun Baixue" for the emperor in the Yangxin Palace.
The emperor was silent for a long time after listening to this.
This piece of music was the one Gao Xiyue was best at.
At that time, Gao Xiyue was still so cute and clever. She was so tender and cute that she captured the emperor's heart.
"Why did you think of playing this?"
The emperor reminisced for a long time before asking about Yan Wan.
Yanwan held the pipa and gently plucked the strings.
"I woke up this morning and heard Concubine Qing talking about the Emperor's selection of concubines. I also heard Concubine Yu arranging for Concubine Ke to live in Xianfu Palace. I couldn't help but think of Imperial Noble Concubine Huixian."
"I, the Imperial Concubine, have also seen and taken care of her. It's a pity that such a gentle person died just like that."
"I heard that Concubine Yu decorated Xianfu Palace with a Mongolian style, and Concubine Ke also said that she would kill wild animals and wait for the emperor to come and enjoy them together."
"I just miss Imperial Noble Consort Huixian."
"It's interesting to say that Imperial Noble Consort Huixian is most afraid of the cold, but our Imperial Noble Lady Ke is not afraid of it at all.
If Your Majesty and Concubine Ke eat something delicious, please remember me."
The emperor was a man who loved to reminisce about the past.
I was really excited when I heard Yan Wan say this.
"Jinzhong, go tell Consort Ke that she is only allowed to live in the side hall of Xianfu Palace, and the main hall will be restored to its original appearance when Consort Huixian was in office.
You are also not allowed to set off fireworks in Xianfu Palace."
When Yanwan heard the emperor's order, she was delighted.
"Noble Consort Huixian and Empress Xiaoxian were good friends. Now that Changchun Palace and Xianfu Palace have been preserved, I think both Noble Consort Huixian and Empress Xiaoxian will be relieved."
The emperor's decree soon reached Xianfu Palace, and Yanwan and Jinzhong came to convey the decree.
Since Concubine Ke was not really naive, she naturally understood that what Yanwan said in front of the Emperor was not really for her own good.
He walked up to her and argued with Yanwan.
"Ling Fei, I don't know how I offended Ling Fei when I first entered the palace. Why did Ling Fei target me?"
Yanwan smiled behind her handkerchief.
"Chunchan, did I bully Consort Ke?"
Chunchan thought for a moment and said:
"If your Excellency Ke says so, then that's it."
Yan Wan said "oh" and looked at Concubine Ke with a haughty look.
"If Chunchan says yes, then it is."
