Xia Zhike was pinched by Concubine Shu and reluctantly spoke, but it was clear that there was fear in his voice.
Xia Jie has never cared about this eldest prince. If it wasn't for the purpose of making Concubine Shu and Prince Kang's family behind him loyal to him, he would not have allowed Concubine Shu to give birth to this child. But now, seeing Xia Zhike in front of him
.
"Ke'er, how are you doing with your studies recently?"
"good."
"If there is anything you don't understand, you should ask Master more. As the eldest son of the emperor, you have a heavy burden on you."
"Yes, Father."
Nervous response, but Xia Jie could not help but see the flash of joy on Concubine Shu's face when the word burden was mentioned, and she stopped thinking about getting along well with Xia Zhike.
There can be no more. The purpose of keeping the emperor's eldest son is to leave a thought in Concubine Shu's heart. But if she is allowed to confirm her thoughts, it will add too many unrealistic illusions. I am afraid that more unnecessary things will happen.
incident.
Xia Jie withdrew his hand from stroking Xia Zhike's head, and his expression became cold for a moment.
"Ke'er, take your sister out to play."
Xia Zhike had wanted to go out for a long time. When he heard what Xia Jie said, he didn't have time to look at Concubine Shu's face, so he just took Ren'an's hand and went out.
When the two children left, Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen looked at Xia Jie who was silent, looked at each other, and finally spoke out with a sudden change in their hearts.
"emperor."
Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen were kneeling down in front of them. Xia Jie didn't seem to be surprised at all. His eyes were cold and full of ice. He looked at the cup cover in his hand intently, as if it was a most exquisite thing.
something.
"emperor."
Concubine Zhen was a little anxious. She was worried about Xia Jie's indifference. She knew that Concubine Shu was willing to stand with her at this time just because Concubine Kang's palace and Concubine Shu herself were forced to a point where they had to be anxious.
But no matter how anxious Concubine Shu is, she can't compare to her!
Concubine Shu has a prince, what does she have, an adopted princess? Even if it is an adoption, the emperor will only allow her to adopt a princess born of a talented man, not a prince!
But when she came today, in addition to showing off in front of the emperor, she also wanted to test the emperor's attitude. Of course, it would be better if she could see Concubine Yi. At least, she could see if the crazy Concubine Yi was real.
Crazy!
Unexpectedly, before seeing Concubine Yi, she heard the words "temporary power of the harem", which would kill her.
Now that the matter has come to a point, we can no longer delay it. Even if we have to bring sisters from the clan into the palace to share their favors, it is still much better than being abandoned by the emperor and abandoned by the family in the end. Women like them sacrifice everything for the family.
, when it’s time to abandon the piece, you must also be willing to lay the groundwork for the family’s new chess piece.
Concubine Zhen bit her lip, and seeing that Xia Jie remained motionless, she endured it again and again, and said: "Your Majesty, I am here today to report something important."
Xia Jie raised his eyes, looked at Concubine Zhen, then lowered his head and said calmly: "What's the matter."
The two words spat out from Xia Jie's lips were extremely cold.
Concubine Zhen felt a chill in her heart. She glanced at Concubine Shu, who was sitting next to her, waiting for her advantage, and said, "Your Majesty, your concubines, and Sister Concubine Shu all think that it's time to replace the older female officials in charge of the palace."
When Concubine Shu heard that Concubine Zhen had implicated her, a stern look flashed in her eyes, but she still did not speak.
As for Xia Jie, when he heard Concubine Zhen's words, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, "Should we replace the manpower that Concubine Yi had finally arranged and replace them with noble ladies from aristocratic families?"
It's really ridiculous. When the Xia Dynasty was founded, the ancestors of those aristocratic families all immediately went to war in exchange for the glory of their descendants. But over hundreds of years, these flourishing families have gradually withered away. Now,
, can only rely on sending the daughters of the clan to the palace one by one, in an attempt to maintain glory and wealth.
Xia Jie shook his head in his heart. He was tired of always having such repeated schemes, especially Concubine Zhen. She was once unwilling to send sisters from her clan into the palace, but would rather cultivate close relatives as confidants.
Is this the point?
For a moment, Xia Jie was in a daze. He thought of the Hundred Flowers Banquet and that woman. Even though he was forced to hold the Hundred Flowers Banquet, he still tried his best to prevent those women from coming to him. At that time, he was
How to Xiang, the woman is jealous, or the woman is unvirtuous, no, it doesn't matter, he just feels that Yi Fang, who does his best to keep his favor, and wants to have her alone, is the fairy of Tianshan, the treasure in his hand.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
After Concubine Zhen finished speaking, she didn't dare to look at Xia Jie's face, but when she still didn't get an answer after a long silence, she became anxious and couldn't help but call out twice more.
The soft voice floated in his ears, and Xia Jie felt it was harsh. He raised his eyebrows in displeasure and said, "Some trivial matters are worth reporting here. You can make your own decisions regarding matters in the harem."
So what if he wants to send a daughter from the family to the palace? He still has to decide whether to favor him or not. Even if he wants to replace a group of cronies in some important positions in the palace, it still depends on whether they have the ability.
, the really key people did not dare to take action against them. Prince Kang's Palace and Duke Shou's Palace, but there was no need to go back to the past. He wanted to see if Concubine Zhen and Concubine Shu were still as bold as before. If that was the case,
It also saves him from looking for other ways to get rid of the two of them!
Concubine Zhen and Concubine Shu obviously didn't expect Xia Jie to be so easy to talk to, and they became more courageous. Concubine Shu saw Concubine Zhen's focused eyes and knew that she would not be able to be alone today, so she took over Xia Jie's words and said, "How about this?"
A large number of concubines are to be laid off, and the phoenix seal is required. Now the phoenix seal is with Concubine Yi's sister. Since her sister became ill, the phoenix seal has not been taken back. Your Majesty..."
"It turns out I want the Phoenix Seal!"
Xia Jie placed the tea lid in his hand heavily on the table. There was a sharp squeaking sound, which made Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen tremble all over.
Hearing Xia Jie's cold words, they were even more frightened, but they had no choice. Xia Jie had not been in the harem for several months, and the family was weak. Most of the confidants they had trained earlier were lost to the woman in Dou Yifang. If they didn't
Retrain some manpower and bring in a few new confidants. I am afraid that in the end they will really have to sit and wait for the emperor to deal with them, without any ability to fight back.
Coming here today was a risk. I never thought about discussing poems and composing poems with the emperor. No matter what, we had to achieve a result and we couldn't go back empty-handed.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I and my concubine are greedy for power. It's just that Concubine Yi is like this. Even if she keeps the Phoenix Seal in her hand, it won't be of much use. Your Majesty, it's better..."
"presumptuous!"
Xia Jie slapped Concubine Zhen on the face. Half of Concubine Zhen's fair and tender face, which she had carefully cared for, was immediately swollen.
There's a plot twist in the next chapter. I know it's a little late, but suddenly there was a notice on the website, saying that the content of the chapter was to be rectified and that it was required to be harmonious. I had some ambiguous plots, so I went to change that. Please forgive me.
