Queen Mother Guo had a headache when she saw the dense list, but in this case, she could only bite the bullet and read on.
After a while, her eyes couldn't bear it, and her headache became more and more intense. In desperation, she handed the roster to Nian Yun, "Please help the Ai family take a closer look."
Nian Yun took the list as he was told. After reading all the names in the list, Fang whispered to the Queen Mother Guo: "There is no one the Queen Mother is looking for."
The next moment, Queen Mother Guo threw out the draft roster.
She consciously threw the list at Qin Zhao, but Qin Zhao had quick eyesight and turned aside to avoid the list of beautiful girls thrown by Queen Mother Guo.
"The Queen Mother's phoenix body is in disharmony. It is better to keep calm and not get angry. Otherwise, no matter how good the doctor is, the Queen Mother's illness cannot be cured." Qin Zhao reminded warmly.
"Are you cursing the Ai family?!" Empress Dowager Guo glanced at her with a sharp look: "How dare you exclude the beautiful girls from the roster without authorization? If Yongning hadn't come to tell the Ai family about this, the Ai family would still have been fooled by you.
In the dark! Concubine, you are so brave!"
If the Empress Dowager Guo was healthy, she might still have some majesty, but at this moment, after shouting at Empress Qin Zhao, the Empress Dowager Guo was still a little out of breath, and she didn't seem to have enough momentum.
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows lightly and said to Baozhu: "Go and pour a cup of tea for the Queen Mother. Don't let the Queen Mother get anxious."
Her words were nothing more than adding fuel to the fire. Empress Dowager Guo was so angry that her whole body was shaking: "Your concubine..."
"The Queen Mother calms down and asks Concubine Rong Chen to talk about this matter. Cheng Xiu's name will be removed from the list of beautiful ladies. Concubine Chen made this decision after careful consideration——"
Qin Zhaocai spoke, and Queen Mother Guo stood up quickly: "Don't think that the Ai family doesn't know your selfish intentions. You just want all the young and beautiful girls to be squandered, so that no one will enter the palace to compete with you for favor. The Ai family leaves the words here.
Yes, I will go and bring Cheng Xiu into the palace today."
"The Queen Mother, this is impossible." Qin Zhao did not expect that the Queen Mother Guo would be so unreasonable, and became a little impatient.
Queen Mother Guo ignored her. When would she listen to Qin Zhao's words and deal with things?
She turned to Nianyun and told her: "You personally go out of the palace to take Cheng Xiu into the palace, and tell Marquis Yongchang that the Ai family likes the child, so take her into the palace and live there for a few days. You don't even need a draft.
Become one of the concubines in the harem."
Nianyun responded in a low voice, and then ordered others to take care of Queen Mother Guo.
Queen Mother Guo walked up to Qin Zhao and mocked coldly: "Ms. Qin, you are too young to fight with the Ai family!"
Since Qin Zhao wanted to seduce Cheng Xiu, she would make it a reality for Cheng Xiu to enter the palace.
Qin Zhao looked at the Queen Mother Guo coldly and said every word: "The Queen Mother must be an old fool."
Empress Dowager Guo did not expect Qin Zhao to be so bold. She was so angry that she was shaking, but Qin Zhao was too lazy to pay attention to Empress Dowager Guo and planned to go to the Yangxin Hall to face the Holy Spirit to explain the matter.
Empress Dowager Guo saw that Qin Zhao wanted to find Xiao Ce, so she also got on the chariot and went to the Yangxin Hall.
Xiao Ce was almost finished with government affairs when he heard that Qin Zhao was coming. Not only that, but the Queen Mother Guo was also coming.
These two women are both troublesome to him. It will definitely not be a good thing if they come to Yangxin Hall together.
In fact, his guess was correct. Before Qin Zhao opened his mouth, Queen Mother Guo was telling Qin Zhao's "evil deeds".
"The imperial concubine abused her power and raped a beautiful girl without authorization. The emperor must punish her severely. If the Ai family had not been in poor health, they would not have left the draft to the imperial concubine. Facts have proved that the imperial concubine is nothing but mud that cannot hold up the wall." Guo
After the Queen Mother finished shouting, her voice was a little breathy.
Xiao Ce heard this and looked at Qin Zhao: "My dear concubine, is there something wrong?"
"I did remove Cheng Xiu from the draft list, but I did this for the sake of the royal family and the emperor..."
Before Qin Zhao could finish her words, Queen Mother Guo interrupted her: "That's ridiculous! It was clearly your own selfishness that took down Chen Xiu's name!"
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is old and not in good health. Should we let the Queen Mother sit down and rest for a while?" Qin Zhao expressed concern and made suggestions to Xiao Ce.
Compared to the domineering Empress Dowager Guo, Xiao Ce preferred Qin Zhao's calmness and generosity.
Zhang Jixiang immediately moved a comfortable chair for Queen Mother Guo to sit on.
Qin Zhao then said calmly: "Both Marquis Yongchang and his wife were reluctant to send Cheng Xiu to the palace. Cheng Xiu himself did not want to enter the palace to serve the king, and Prince Cheng was also reluctant to send Yaomei to the palace.
.In addition, the emperor wants Cheng Cheng's son to become the eldest princess, I think that I must give Yongchang Houfu a grace at this time, so that they can remember the emperor's kindness and generosity, and let them see clearly the emperor's kindness. I, the concubine,
I thought that a Cheng Xiu was far less important than an eldest princess. I gave this grace to the Cheng family. In the future, everyone in the Yongchang Hou Mansion will definitely remember the kindness of the royal family. I thought that I did the right thing. Furthermore, the world
Ladies from famous families will enter the palace to be drafted, and the emperor is no less good at this one, right?"
Xiao Ce felt that Qin Zhao's words were not a big problem, but Queen Mother Guo had questions: "Cheng Xiu had the opportunity to enter the palace to serve the emperor, but the imperial concubine said that Chen Xiu was not happy. Is this just an excuse made by the imperial concubine?"
"Not every woman wants to enter the palace. Some people like a simpler life, and Chen Xiu is one of them. In fact, it was Princess Yongchun who came to ask for a concubine, because it was at the time when the royal family was discussing marriage with the Yongchang Houfu.
At this juncture, I did not ask the emperor for permission, but took Chen Xiu off the draft list without authorization. I did something wrong in this regard, and I should be punished." Qin Zhao said this, and then said: "
On the other hand, because Prince Cheng did not choose her, Princess Yongning ignored the Queen Mother's disobedience and went to the Queen Mother to stir up trouble and disturb the royal family. Princess Yongning should also be punished."
"Is there such a thing?!" Xiao Ce's face darkened.
Qin Zhao knew that Xiao Ce would not do anything to the Queen Mother Guo and would always give Xiao Ce a step down, so he pushed Princess Yongning out.
Facts have proved that she was right.
Xiao Ce found a reason to vent his anger and ordered people to bring Princess Yongning into the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart.
Princess Yongning did not expect that this fire would burn on her head. She thought that with Empress Dowager Guo disrupting the situation, Cheng Xiu could not change the fate of entering the palace. Little did she know that she herself was also brought into the circle of right and wrong by Qin Zhao.
"Are you gossiping and stirring up trouble in front of your mother, trying to stir up the Cheng family's hatred against the royal family?!"
Xiao Ce slapped his palm on the desk, scaring Princess Yongning to the point where she immediately fell to her knees.
The eldest princess Yongning stammered in defense: "No, my sister, I don't mean any harm. I'm just afraid that the imperial concubine will do something wrong out of selfish motives. Originally, my mother was in charge of the talent show. Of course my mother has the right to know, and my sister also has good intentions...
