"It's fine." Nala's eyes turned to Liu, and said lightly: "Concubine Qian, you are the same, what are you doing to say such things? No matter what Chen did, Prince Guo always treated Concubine Xi.
It was a life-saving grace. He asked for something, how could Concubine Xi refuse to agree?"
Ling Ruo lowered his head and said, "Actually, both the empress and concubine Qian misunderstood. I did not intercede for Mrs. Chen. I just told the emperor truthfully what Prince Guo and Mrs. Chen requested."
Nala said with some curiosity: "Oh? What is Chen's request? Can Concubine Xi tell me?"
"Of course you can." After saying this, Ling Ruo said: "The Chen family asked Prince Guo to come and pay homage to the concubine, so that the concubine could beg the emperor not to separate mother and son. For this reason, she was willing to suffer a heavier punishment than becoming a monk. And
In fact, the punishment of not being included in the history books and not being buried in the imperial mausoleum is indeed much heavier than becoming a monk, don’t you think so, concubine Qian?"
Feeling the gaze on her face, Ms. Liu smiled reluctantly and said, "Yes, I said something wrong. Please forgive me."
"Talk between sisters is not as serious as forgiveness, but if I say anything in the future, I must think carefully before saying it. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am, so be careful..." Look...
Looking at Mrs. Liu's uncomfortable expression, she softly uttered four words, "Misfortune comes from the mouth."
"Yes, I have written it down." At this time, apart from these few words, Mrs. Liu did not dare to say anything else.
After sitting and talking for a while, Ling Ruo and Guarjia stood up to say goodbye. After watching them leave, Nala's eyes turned to Liu, and said with a half-smile: "What's the matter, Qian?"
Are you still unhappy about what happened just now?"
Liu was not sure what Nala meant by that, so she lowered her head and said, "I don't dare!"
"I don't dare...it means that Concubine Qian is still unhappy." Before Mrs. Liu could say anything, Mrs. Nala added: "Actually, regarding Mrs. Chen... everyone knows that Concubine Xi interceded for her, so we can avoid it."
As for her being punished as a monk, it’s hard to say
If the history books do not bury the imperial mausoleum, it is all a posthumous matter. It can be said to be important or not, depending on the opinion. But since the emperor will not expose this point, and Concubine Xi will not expose it, why should you go and expose it? It will be in vain.
What she said."
Mrs. Liu is a smart person. When she heard this, she knew that Mr. Nala was intending to help her. She said with great grievance: "I know that I have gone too far, but I also dislike Concubine Xi's skills."
The way you look like covering the sky, let me tell you that during the period of your confinement, Concubine Xi did whatever she wanted in the palace without any scruples. My concubine suffered a lot from her. Even the injury on my foot was caused by her.
rise."
Nala raised his eyelids in surprise and said, "Where do you start talking about this?"
At that moment, Ms. Liu briefly narrated what happened between her, Yan Changzai and Ling Ruo, and said in the face of all kinds of grievances: "Yan Changzai deliberately caused my concubine to fall and hurt her foot. What should I say?"
It's also Yan Changzai's fault. It's not an exaggeration for the emperor to punish her by clearing snow for ten days.
, but Concubine Xi made some provocations in front of the emperor, which made the emperor feel that I was also at fault. Regardless of the injury on my feet, I punished me by sweeping the snow for five days. Not to mention the wind and cold I suffered, I finally
I'm afraid that if cold air enters the body, the injuries on the feet will not heal completely and leave sequelae."
Mr. Liu said so much, how could Mr. La not understand that she was determined to get him closer? Now that she had just released her restraint, and the chess pieces in her hands were almost damaged, she was naturally happy to see the result, and followed her words.
: "Concubine Xi is also a sensible person, why is she so biased this time?"
"Isn't that true? The emperor now only listens to the words of Concubine Jin Xi, and doesn't listen to others at all. In addition to clearing the snow, he also fined the concubine's salary." Mrs. Liu became more and more worried as she spoke, and she wiped it with her handkerchief.
Wiping the tears from the corner of his eyes, he said: "If this continues, I'm afraid I won't even have a place to stay for my concubines and others. My queen, you must make the decision for my concubines."
"What Concubine Qian said is too serious, Concubine Xi..." Nala suddenly sighed in the middle of her words, and then said: "You try to give her some space and don't confront her at every turn. Concubine Xi must not
It would be too much."
This was obviously not what Mrs. Liu wanted to hear, and she said eagerly: "My queen, are you going to let her act arrogantly in the palace like this? After all... you are the queen of the palace!"
"Then what should I do according to Concubine Qian? Should I call Concubine Xi back now and reprimand her? Or should I ask her to admit her mistake to you, Concubine Qian? Concubine Qian, I know you have been wronged, but
She has always been a second-grade noble concubine, and she has always been favored by the emperor.
, even I have to take care of her, and I can't do anything too much, otherwise I will have endless troubles after enjoying the pleasure for a while. Or... Qianconcubine simply hopes that I will take care of this for you.
?" After talking about it, both the eyes and the voice gradually changed.
It was getting colder, which made Mrs. Liu's heart tremble. She quickly stood up and said in panic: "I have absolutely no intention of doing this. Please be clear to me. Concubine... I really can't stand Concubine Xi being so domineering in the palace."
, that’s why I said those words out of anger.” There was a pause.
Next, seeing that Nala was silent, she said again: "I think back when the empress was in charge of the harem, the palace was in order and everyone was in their own place. There were no monsters and monsters like now. If I really have something on my mind, I hope that the empress can do it.
Take back control of the harem and bring order to the chaos."
After listening to these words, Nala's face brightened slightly and said: "I have just been released from the ban. How can it be so easy to regain control of the harem?"
Mrs. Liu flattered her and said: "If I were the imperial concubine Xi, and saw the empress released from confinement, she would definitely hand over the power of the harem to the empress instead of holding it in her hands."
Nala stroked the embroidery on her sleeves and said casually: "Concubine Xi has her own plans. If she doesn't mention it, neither I nor Concubine Qian can say anything. But... the days to come are still very long, and things will change."
No one can say for sure. I know that Concubine Qian is very angry with Concubine Xi, but some things cannot be rushed and must be taken slowly."
Mrs. Liu's mind was racing, and she quickly understood the meaning behind Nala's words. Nala was not willing to let Concubine Xi take away the power of the harem, but now she was not as powerful as others, or in other words, she did not have enough power.
She won't take action until she is sure.
After understanding this, Mrs. Liu felt relieved and lowered her head and said: "I understand that I was too eager just now, and I hope that your Majesty will forgive me."
Nala smiled lightly and said: "Concubine Qian is too outgoing. When she has free time, she will come to this palace to sit and talk with me to relieve her boredom. Now in this palace, you can still say a few thoughtful words to me.
, I will be humble to you."
Mrs. Liu was flattered and said: "My concubines are bound to follow the rules of the queen's love. I am afraid that the queen will think that the concubines will come to her in the future and disturb her peace."
