Chapter 173 Serial Assassination (2)
"Just understand!" The queen said a little while.
Although Concubine Leng was very angry, the fire had to be suppressed. Because she was unreasonable, the queen was still the queen in the harem. She couldn't find words for a while and planned to leave. Suddenly, she saw Concubine Qin sitting next to the queen without saying anything. She seemed to be thinking about something. She suddenly became angry again and said with a smile: "I just forgot that my sister was afraid that she was wrong. Not only Miss Qianyue treated Prince Jing differently, but also the other one treated Prince Jing differently."
"Oh? Sister, why not talk." The queen also guessed something in her heart when she saw Concubine Leng glance at Concubine Qin.
"I just heard that Prince Jing's teaching in Shangshangfang today was about studying. Miss Qin's remarks greatly praised Prince Jing, saying that Miss Qin is a talented person and is worthy of being the mother of the country. She also said that Miss Qianyue is a playboy and stupid, not as good as Miss Qin! Sister Empress, all such words have come out. Do you think this is obviously Miss Qin is more praised by Prince Jing?" Concubine Leng's anger faded, and she changed into a proud smile. It seemed that the person who was praised was her niece. She looked at Concubine Qin, "Concubine, I really envy you for having a granddaughter!"
Concubine Qin glanced at Concubine Leng and smiled. Although she was nearly seventy years old, the facial texture could vaguely show that she was a superb beauty back then. Yu Guangsai saw that the queen sitting next to her was calm, and she slowly spoke, "Yu Ning's child is a versatile. Few of this young lady in Beijing can compare to her. She should be able to get a compliment from Prince Jing. However, the mother of the country's words were still too high."
"Empress Concubine, you don't believe in Prince Jing's eyes when you say this. Who is Prince Jing? That's our genius of Tiansheng, and it's not an exaggeration to be the world's number one genius. His remarks have always been respected as a warning and motto. Prince Jing said that Miss Qin is worthy of being the mother of the country, so it must be true." Concubine Leng looked at the queen from time to time, and saw that the calmer the queen was, the happier she smiled.
"Whether you can be the mother of the country is still a blessing. It's useless to have talent." Concubine Qin didn't want to say more, so she stood up and said tiredly: "When people get old, they are useless. After sitting for such a long time, they are extremely exhausted. You young people, sit down! I'll go back to the palace first."
"The concubine is walking slowly!" The queen stood up and stood up, saluting a shallow salute.
"Great sends the concubine to the concubine!" Concubine Ming and other concubines stood up and saluted Concubine Qin.
Concubine Leng finally found the point of attacking the queen, but she didn't expect that Concubine Qin would not give face. The ancestor emperor's ancestral teachings have been passed down for a hundred years, and it should be terminated. Besides, Yun Qianyue has such an unhelpful virtue. The lord of the harem cannot let them continue to control the Prince Yun's Mansion. If it weren't for her, Leng's family, she would have to change the other one. She didn't believe that Concubine Qin and Prime Minister Qin had no idea. She smiled and said, "I happened to have not been to the Concubine Palace for a long time. I'll send the Concubine back to the palace!"
Concubine Qin paused and nodded, "Okay! Thank you for your hard work in Concubine Leng!"
"It's not hard work. The emperor is filial to you. We daughters-in-law should be filial, right? This is a small matter." Concubine Leng stepped forward to support Concubine Qin's arm and said with a smile.
"Yes, the emperor is filial, so that my old woman can enjoy her old age." Concubine Qin also smiled.
Concubine Leng looked back at the queen and pretended to be caring and said, "Look at the face of the queen, isn't you feeling well? Do you feel uncomfortable? Please go back to the palace to ask the imperial physician for a look! You are the pillar of our sisters. If you fall ill, we will lose our backbone."
"Don't worry, Sister Leng. My health is still good. Sister Leng is tired and worried all day long, so she should pay more attention." The queen's voice was still neither salty nor light. Seeing that Concubine Leng was about to speak again, she reminded: "Sister Leng has sent the Concubine back to the palace, she must take good care of the Concubine. You must also take good care of the steps. Otherwise, if the Concubine falls, the Emperor will not spare you."
Concubine Leng woke up and did not dare to speak anymore. She quickly helped Concubine Qin down the steps carefully.
Seeing Concubine Leng and Concubine Qin walking away, the queen sat down again and waved to everyone, "It's getting late, I guess the sisters are tired of sitting, so go back! I'll sit for a while."
"Yes!" Everyone stood up and left.
Concubine Ming did not move, but looked at the queen and said in a gentle voice: "I am not tired yet, so I will stay and sit with my sister for a while."
"Okay!" The queen nodded and waved to Madam Sun and others. Madam Sun and others understood and retreated.
"Sister, don't take Concubine Leng's words in your heart. My sister thinks that Miss Qianyue is a blessed person. They all say, 'A blessed person will not be in a blessed place.' Some things still depend on the emperor's meaning, but it's just a word from Prince Jing. What's up!" Concubine Ming was silent for a moment, hesitated for a moment, looked unwilling to the queen, and advised in a gentle voice.
"Sister thinks I'm worried about this?" The queen smiled faintly.
"Isn't my sister?" Concubine Ming was stunned.
The queen shook her head and looked at the lotus in the Mandarin duck pond, without saying anything.
Concubine Ming also followed the queen's gaze and looked at the lotus flowers in the mandarin duck pond. She saw a group of mandarin ducks playing around the lotus flowers. She smiled and said, "These mandarin ducks are so cute."
"Sister Ming, have you only seen the cute mandarin ducks? You didn't see anything else?" The queen didn't look at the concubine Ming, and without waiting for the concubine to ask, she said directly: "This Mandarin duck pond is like this palace. The mandarin ducks in this pond are like us, fighting and playing every day, just to entertain themselves. How can we know the scenery outside the Mandarin duck pond and what kind of world is?"
Concubine Ming was shocked and looked at the queen and her voice lowered, "Sister, what is the emperor like? Is it the lotus in this pond?"
"Emperor? Haha..." The queen raised her eyebrows, shook her head with a smile, and sighed: "The emperor is the moon that occasionally falls in this mandarin duck pond. It can be seen and cannot be touched. Until she grows old, the moon cannot be caught by us."
Concubine Ming's heart was shocked again, and she turned her eyes and glanced around. She found that there was no one except the queen who was guarding the distance and her close maid. She then had a look of hurt on her face, "Sister is right. This mandarin duck pond is like this palace. The mandarin duck in this pond is like us. The emperor is the moon that occasionally falls in this mandarin duck pond. We are trapped here for the rest of our lives, and the people who trap us will not be able to get it in our hands for the rest of our lives."
"Since that's the case, so sister Ming, do you still think I will be sad because Yue'er can't become the queen, and no woman sent in the Yun Palace? This is just a cage, because when the ancestor emperor was in the first place, a woman who was loved by the ancestor emperor for the life of the ancestor emperor was born. After this century, she took several legitimate women from the Yun Palace. Which emperor of this Tiansheng has had a long-lasting love since the ancestor emperor? But they are just fraternal love. It's not bad for the position of this queen to terminate it." The queen said slowly. At this time, she was not the queen who was arrogant and just overwhelmed Concubine Leng, but just a pitiful woman.
The concubine was silent. At this time, she also felt the feeling of the queen. No matter how good the glory and wealth, how good the fine clothes and food, how good the silk and silk, how good the jade, how good the jade, gold and jade, they were just worn in the sky in all directions for themselves. Rong Hua was old and was not favored. In the future, when the emperor passed away, they would either die or die in the palace. She sat here, looking at the mandarin ducks in the mandarin duck pond, as if she had seen her whole life.
"According to this, if Miss Qianyue does not enter the palace, she will be truly blessed." Concubine Ming was silent for a long time and sighed.
"Yes! I envy Yue'er. She can't do anything, she doesn't understand etiquette, and nothing is harmful. At least there is one advantage, maybe she can avoid being deeply locked in the Nine-level Palace Gate. I used to think that she was naughty and disobedient, and was ignorant of being a lady from a noble family, but now I suddenly don't think so. If I could be like her at the beginning, maybe I wouldn't be sitting here waiting to die of old age." The queen said again.
"Sister, don't think so again. If the emperor knows you..." Concubine Ming whispered.
"Emperor? Humph!" The queen sneered and turned to look at Concubine Ming, "Sister Ming, do you think you are happy? You have been favored for twenty years. How many people in this palace envy you, but do you think you are happy?"
Mingfei lowered her eyelashes, remained silent for a while, but still shook her head.
"Isn't that all! Even you feel unhappy. Which other one in this palace is happy? This is a golden house. We are just waiting to be exhausted by it for the rest of our lives." The queen withdrew her gaze and looked at the sky. "I'm ruined, but I don't want any woman to destroy it in the Rong Palace. I couldn't listen to a word of what my aunt said to me back then, and plunged in. I thought Yue'er was the same, but now seeing that she was heartless to Ye Tianqing and that child was not enthusiastic about the position of the queen, I felt that there was still hope."
"Sister, the ancestor's ancestral teachings are not so easy to abolish. From what I see, the emperor's attitude towards Miss Qianyue is very strange. I'm afraid it's not that easy. Moreover, Miss Qianyue has received more attention now. With Prince Jing and Prince Ran protecting each other, the emperor's ideas are probably very different from before." Concubine Ming said carefully.
"So what's the difference? The emperor is just thinking about the imperial power." The queen seemed a little tired and was unwilling to continue talking. She stopped talking and smiled at Concubine Ming: "My sister still has hope. You have at least three daughters, and you have no children."
When these words are said, there is indescribable desolation.
Concubine Ming's eyes felt sore, "Sister and me, as long as my sister is here for one day, she will not be helpless."
The queen's face was a little warm, and her sharp eyes burst into a touch of softness. She said with some guilt: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been taken into the palace and trapped in this cage for twenty years."
