Chapter 717 The Moon Is Hard to Be Full (2)

When the concubine said this, she glanced at Concubine De and said to herself, if the emperor was not with the queen last night, it must have been you. Don't think that I don't know that you have a cousin-in-law who is the magistrate of Zhili Prefecture and Chu Qing.

Come very close.

Concubine De had always behaved aloof from the world and only wanted her daughter to live a peaceful life, so when she heard these words she didn't even raise her eyelids and just played with the tassels of the purse in her hand, which were made for her daughter.

The queen had long heard that the palace ladies who had given it to Chu Qing went to ask to see the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother did not see her. It was her daughter who sent someone to send it away.

The queen actually didn't believe that Chu Qing had any rebellious intentions. There was no evidence, just because she was also a mother herself.

A mother always raises her children for the sake of safety and health, let alone a widow who is raising her children alone.

Besides, a mother with the highest status such as a queen may not be able to get the throne for her son, so how can a mere rural widow do it?

But she also understood her husband's suspicion.

Whether a person commits a crime or not depends entirely on the ratio of temptation and price. As long as it exceeds that, it is possible. But if it is to seek the greatest power, it is different. A one in 10,000 possibility will become a hundred thousand motivation.

Therefore, even though Princess Zhaohua was partial to Chu Qing, she still maintained a neutral attitude. As the queen, she simply pretended not to know.

Seeing that Concubine De was silent, the other concubines became more enthusiastic. It was said that the world can only belong to the emperor, and no one can think of Xiao Xiang, and even Xiao Xiang will not leave;

Some people say that women should abide by women's rules, women's ethics, women's words, women's appearance, women's merits: if the family is poor, they must be "comfortable in poverty", and if they are rich, they must be "respectful and frugal"; they must not be eloquent or eloquent;

A woman's appearance should also be "graceful", and her expression should be gentle and gentle; in terms of women's skills, there is no need to be extraordinary in craftsmanship, just do a good job in "weaving, organizing and sewing".

In short, it is clear that every point is "advanced", and the motivation for the rash advance is, haha, self-evident.

From the corner of her eye, Concubine De saw several figures of palace maids wandering outside the door. She wondered who was coming outside. Then she quietly glanced at the Queen. The Queen seemed to show a serious face and then returned to normal, but she didn't seem to, and everyone "

"Sisters" is still being discussed in full swing.

Based on Concubine De's "little habit" of the emperor liking to listen to the concubine's corner, Concubine De had a clue that it might be that the emperor was coming and was not allowed to inform him.

But what everyone is discussing now is Chu Qing. Although Chu Qing is a woman and her rank is not as high as that of the previous dynasty, she is involved in the affairs of the previous dynasty. It is inappropriate for them, the concubines in the harem, to discuss the matters of the previous dynasty. She herself is

What should I do if I get implicated by these long-tongued women?

So he said: "Sisters, I think Chu Qing is still a woman no matter what, and being a woman makes no difference;

Even if she becomes an official, isn't she the same as us? She depends on the favor of the emperor to survive. What's more, I heard that she has a bit of a fierce temper and has offended many civil and military officials in the dynasty. Even if she is not offended, it will be almost 80%.

…

If such a scoundrel hadn't given her some face, she wouldn't have been able to do anything, let alone talk about her."

It seems that Concubine De wants to end the topic, but she also returns Chu Qing to the class of ordinary women, and is still a "rascal", which indirectly shows that the rumors of Chu Qing's "rebellion" may not be credible.

She is a concubine for the emperor, and is placed in an ordinary person's home. No one has become a concubine, not even a concubine. Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?

A concubine rolled her eyes impatiently.

The queen heard the foreign voice of De Concubine's words, but she felt that it was inappropriate. The maid's robe at the door just shook, what if it was a hint that the emperor was standing at the door? De Concubine's words were somewhat biased, right?

So the queen put down the tea cup and deliberately let the tea cup touch the table to make a sound. All the concubines' eyes were focused on the queen.

The queen said: "You are becoming more and more stateless! It is true that Chu Qing is a woman, but after all, she has an official status and will be involved in the court to some extent. We women in the harem are not allowed to..."

"Ahem!" The emperor hummed softly, and the maid outside the door hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty!"

I have been holding it in for a long time. I have to kneel down when I should, and I should not repay when I should. Who knows whether the words of those noble people inside will bring disaster to small fish like them? It is difficult to be a palace maid!

The emperor didn't speak out to remind him that he was coming, but because of throat discomfort. The reason for throat discomfort was because Concubine De's words reminded him of a term: lonely minister.

Chu Qing did offend many people, and the people he offended were all in high positions.

Those who have not been offended have no real power. For example, Hong Guogong, who is also a duke and has no military power, is completely different from a powerful figure like Deputy Prime Minister Cheng Feng.

And those with real power and rank are not enough. For example, Song Tingshan, even if he has the relationship of Concubine Virtue, Song Tingshan cannot take advantage of it if he wants. After all, he is a relative of his wife's family, so there is a difference in level.

And even a smooth person like Song Tingshan would not fail to weigh the importance. For more than a month, hasn't that guy been quite peaceful?

Hu Hengqiu treats this subordinate well, but Hu Hengqiu is more slippery than Song Tingshan. He will do whatever I ask him to do.

To sum up, Chu Qing is actually a lonely minister, and her existence depends entirely on my words.

Hu Hengqiu had given the emperor a pretty good excuse before, which could generally cover up the emperor's actions due to his suspicion of Chu Qing. The emperor did not comment at the time.

The emperor also knew that it was a cover-up excuse, but Hu Hengqiu had already turned around and said that he would be responsible for the matter to save the emperor's face, and the emperor himself could not think of a good way, so he wanted to hear the queen's response to Chu Qing.

What do people think?

I didn't expect to hear such a conversation.

Don't worry about what the concubines said about Chu Qing's unruly women's conduct. Apart from paying attention to Chu Qing's women's conduct, they couldn't say anything of substance, and the emperor also knew why they said that.

The emperor also agreed that "only women and villains are difficult to raise", and just a few of them agreed.

However, the emperor believed that Concubine De's words were more objective - Chu Qing was a lonely minister and there was no hope of forming a party.

It was because the emperor couldn't help but mutter "Lonely Minister" without making a good sound, that he alerted the people in the queen's palace.

The empress, Concubine De, and other concubines all looked surprised when they saw the emperor's arrival and paid their respects one after another.

All the women who had been talking louder than each other just now suddenly started to speak softly.

"Ah... where are they all!" The emperor stood at the door and did not go in: "I can just look at you here. I cough, so don't let my illness spread to you!"

The first concubine: "Your Majesty, no matter what, they all say that the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteenth..."

Before the crowd could express their thoughts, concerns, and willingness to be contagious, the emperor immediately said: "It's getting cold, so please keep warm. I'll be back soon. I'm busy!"

After that, he left.

Just left.

Gone.

Already...

"...Yuan" The concubine held back the last word in her mouth and had no chance to finish her sentence.
