Before Ning Yue could say anything, Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu grabbed her and dragged her out of the Palace of Eternal Life.
The concubine De, who was just trying to be cool for a while, was frightened. The emperor and the queen could punish her at will, but what about these concubines who had not been favored for a long time?
She couldn't help but feel sad for a moment.
The news of the Queen's grounding quickly spread throughout the palace, and everyone lamented that the Queen was accompanying the Emperor to court even in the morning, but was grounded before dark, and she was punished for admonishing the Emperor for something like that. Isn’t the Queen too miserable?
The queen, who everyone thought was miserable, was living a comfortable life. The Shang Gong Bureau had just sent several sets of brightly colored clothes just to make Empress Bo smile.
The people from the Shangshi Bureau specifically asked Ning Yue to ask if there was anything she wanted to eat. They would ask the eunuch in charge of purchasing to buy the freshest ingredients. They just hoped that the queen would be in a good mood.
There was also a set of wonderful and gorgeous phoenix-patterned jewelry sent from Shangzhen Bureau in front of her. There were forty-eight pieces in total, and each piece was of high quality.
What's more, the concubines in the harem were afraid that she would be bored, so they came directly to Kunning Palace and planned to stay together with the queen.
In order to make the queen happy, these concubines really tried their best to take away all the work of the palace maids. "My queen, please try the tea I brewed. I have been secretly learning it for a long time, but I just don't know." Can I enter my queen’s mouth?”
Ning Yue picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "Not bad, I didn't expect that Sister Hua is so good at making tea."
Hua Xiurong's face turned red from the praise, "As long as your Majesty likes it, I will often make tea for you from now on."
The two concubines Xian did not hide anything at the moment, and said all the words they heard last time in the imperial garden, "I heard these words together. I thought that there had been no children born in the emperor's harem, and it was a proper filial piety." Period, who knows if the emperor will still remember who she is, Su Linglong, three years from now?
Hua Xiurong smiled even happier. The empress used "I" to her, "I will be careful and will never let myself get burned."
Concubine De's originally smiling face suddenly darkened.
By the way, is that thing you said to apply on your face difficult to get?"
But I didn't expect that she was so bold, so brave, so brave to get pregnant during the filial piety period, dancing to see the red sun in her arms, and she actually got pregnant a month later, and the emperor promoted her to a higher position on the spot. , and she was promoted through the ranks and given the title of 'Zhen', becoming Zhaoyi second only to the fourth concubine. Do you think the emperor will really dismiss the harem for her?"
Another concubine came forward and said, "Your Majesty, when I was not in the palace, I read a lot of miscellaneous books and accidentally discovered a beauty recipe. Please touch my face. Is it particularly smooth and elastic? I But any rouge is useless. If you like it, I will help you apply it on your face. I guarantee that your skin condition will be improved several times in less than half a month!"
Concubine De angrily slapped the huanghuali wood table next to her, and then she grinned in pain. She picked up her hand and rubbed it quickly, "My queen, don't be angry. Dismissing the harem is not a trivial matter, Your Majesty." , the emperor will not do this."
Today, many concubines came to Kunning Palace to accompany the queen to relieve her boredom, but Concubine De did not show up.
"Sister De Fei, are you very proud now?"
Concubine De's father was the Minister of Rites, and he was very observant of etiquette. If the emperor really dismissed the harem, her father would definitely send her to the family temple and let her die alone.
Moreover, the reason why the empress was banned was all because of Concubine De. Doesn’t Concubine De love to cause trouble? Then she might as well find more troubles for Concubine De!
The concubine immediately said, "It's not difficult at all. I will give the recipe to the empress right now."
Liang Chongrong said disdainfully: "Believe it or not, I didn't believe it before. However, seeing that the emperor is so cruel to the queen, I am heartbroken. At worst, if the emperor really dismisses the harem, I will go back to my parents' home. My father is not so bad to me."
Yes, it's impossible not to support me, but I don't know if your mother-in-law has such a fate."
Concubine Xian said: "Wait a minute, how long has it been and you still only think about punishing Liang Chongrong? Haven't you understood what happened today?"
Ning Yue put down the tea cup and took Hua Xiurong's little hand, "No, let the palaces do these rough jobs. I don't want your beautiful little hands to get burned."
But Liang Chongrong didn't give her a chance to speak at all, "The queen is grounded. From now on, we can only live by looking at Su Linglong's face. Do you think your life in the palace can be better than before?"
When the emperor heard the report from his subordinates and found out that Ning Yue was even more moisturized after being grounded than before, he was so angry that he directly issued an order to drive away all the concubines...
After coming out of Kunning Palace, Liang Chongrong became more and more angry as he thought about it. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and took Concubine Xian to Concubine De's Palace.
Ning Yue refused to accept anyone who came: "Okay, give me a try quickly. I have been worrying about this and that every day for a while, and my face has become very haggard. I just want to take advantage of the lockdown to take care of myself."
"Tell me, I won't hide anything from her."
Ning Yue waved her hand, "You don't need to give the prescription to me. If it's easy to make, you can make more and we can apply it together."
Although Concubine De had such slight regrets, how could she allow others to point it out so straightforwardly?
"How presumptuous, you little Chongrong dare to accuse me, Su Xin, give me a slap in the face."
Concubine Xian couldn't help but look at the maids in her palace, and Concubine De asked all the maids and eunuchs to go out, leaving only Su Xin, a personal maid.
Concubine De: "What do you understand?"
Su Xin was brought by Concubine De from home, so she naturally knew her master's temper. Even the eldest son was taught to be a bit pedantic by the master. If the empress was really sent back to the house, the eldest son would probably force the empress to die.
"No, how can this be done? We are the emperor's concubines, how can we be dismissed as soon as we are dismissed? Let's go to the queen and ask her to tell the emperor..."
Concubine Xian slammed the tea cup in her hand to the ground, and the tea splashed a large area on the corner of Concubine De's skirt, "You are afraid that you will not kill the Queen, right? She was grounded by you, what is your next step?
Do you plan to send her directly to the cold palace?"
Concubine De fell down on the chair, her face as pale as a blank sheet of paper, "I really have no other thoughts. I just saw that Su Linglong was favored and the queen wanted to bring Su Linglong and the emperor together, so I couldn't help but make a few remarks.
I didn’t expect the emperor to be so cruel that he directly banned the queen!”
"I see that you are a shrewd person on weekdays, but why do you become like this when something happens?
It’s not like you lost favor because of Su Linglong. How long has it been since the emperor didn’t come to your palace? Why are you fighting for this?
As long as the Queen is good and there are people above to support us, our lives will not be difficult. To put it bluntly, the Emperor only uses us as tools to control the family. He will not be half sincere towards us at all. After so many years
Can't you see clearly?" Concubine Xian said helplessly.
