Chapter 159 The concubines share power and Shu Jin lies down!
In the main hall of Zhongcui Palace, the extremely luxurious ambergris was burning, with wisps of it lingering, and the queen's face seemed a little blurry.
"By the way, Concubine Yu and Concubine Xi have worked hard in taking care of the palace affairs in the past few months." The queen's tone was gentle, but every word struck Concubine Xi's heart.
Concubine Xi was so nervous that she hurriedly said seriously: "The emperor ordered me and sister Yu to share the worries of the queen. How can I not do my best?"
This is also a reminder to the queen that taking care of palace affairs is an imperial decree. If the queen wants to take it back, she must ask for the imperial decree.
The queen pursed her lips, and her smile grew stronger, "Fei Xi seems to be particularly nervous today, but is it because I have been too strict in the past?"
Concubine Xi forced a smile and said, "The empress has many graces, and I have always respected her."
Shu Jin could see that Concubine Xi was indeed overly nervous, so she smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated the Queen on her recovery yet, so I would like to express my congratulations here."
The queen turned her gaze and glanced at her deeply with her phoenix-like eyes, and then said: "Concubine Xi is looking better and more haggard, but Concubine Yu is still the same as before." - Even this calm and composed look,
All as usual.
Shu Jin hurriedly said: "Concubine Xi's sister has worked hard to serve the Queen Mother. Not long ago, brother Yuanshou fell seriously ill again, so it is much harder than my concubine."
After suffering so many crimes for nothing, it is no wonder that Concubine Xi is unwilling to hand over the palace power.
The queen was also able to keep her composure and actually talked so much nonsense.
"Since the Queen has recovered from her illness, I don't know about the palace affairs - what do you want me to say?" Shu Jin calmly asked the Queen, "What do you mean?"
Although Shu Jin does not love power, he will not take the initiative to give it back. Let's kick the ball to the queen.
Seeing Concubine Yu's calm and relaxed expression, the queen couldn't help but frown slightly, "Logically speaking, since I am the middle palace, I have the unshirkable responsibility to take care of the sixth palace."
Concubine Xi clenched her fists under her sleeves. Why?! The Queen Mother pretended to be ill, and the Queen hid. The humiliation and blame fell entirely on this palace! Now that the Queen Mother has stopped pretending, the Queen wants to take back the palace power for nothing?! Why is there such a thing?
Let her take over?!
The queen glanced at Concubine Xi coldly: "But, since the emperor is sympathetic to me, I asked you to share the worries. Since I have accepted the emperor's favor, I naturally have to report this matter to the emperor before handing over the palace power.
You two don’t have to worry for now.”
Concubine Xi slowly loosened her clenched fists, but she couldn't help frowning. After all, the queen is the middle palace, and the emperor has no reason to refuse at the moment!! Damn it!
Shu Jin secretly thought: The Queen is calmer than she thought.
Perhaps during the period of "recuperation due to illness", Yongzheng was too indifferent to the queen? After being ill for such a long time, Yongzheng didn't come to visit her even once.
The queen would not fail to understand that the emperor's affection for her was so weak that it could be ignored!
Under such circumstances, how could the queen dare to make the emperor unhappy?
Even if it is a matter of course, you must first ask the emperor for instructions.
It doesn’t take much time anyway.
At this moment, the eunuch Cui Jinzhong walked in quickly and called Qian'er: "Master, your Majesty has arrived!"
This really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here.
All the concubines in the palace stood up one after another to greet the holy driver.
The queen was also smiling and extremely enthusiastic. She also served tea to the emperor with her own hands. Her words were also full of concern: "The emperor seems to have lost some weight. He must be busy with government affairs in the court."
Yinzhen took the tea and didn't drink it. He just said, neither salty nor bland: "The previous dynasty was fine, but the harem has been troubled a lot recently."
The queen's smile could not help but be a little stiff, and she was too busy to bless her body: "It's all my fault that I'm not in good health. I've been sick for so long and haven't been able to share the emperor's worries. It's my fault."
Yinzhen said calmly: "The queen is not in good health, so I will take good care of her."
The queen's heart skipped a beat, and she said hurriedly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have been raising you for so long, and now I have finally recovered. I was just discussing with Concubine Xi and Concubine Yu about handing over palace affairs."
Yinzhen raised his eyes and glanced at Concubine Yu and Concubine Xi below.
The queen smiled again and said: "Concubine Yu has no objections, but Concubine Xi has some different opinions."
"Oh?" Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, Mr. Geng, you will hand over the power if you are asked to do so? Why do you just listen to the Queen like this?
Shu Jin could only say: "Yes, I listen to the emperor and the empress." - You two can just decide after discussing it.
Concubine Xi could only say: "I listen to the emperor."
Only then did Yinzhen look away and look at his "good queen", "The queen's illness was sudden, and the good thing was sudden. But these days, thanks to Concubine Yu and Concubine Xi, the harem is not in chaos."
The queen forced a smile and said, "Yes, Concubine Yu and Concubine Xi have worked hard and made great achievements. I am just thinking about giving them some praise."
Yinzhen said coldly: "The queen is not in good health. In the past, things always happened when she was taking care of the palace affairs. However, Concubine Yu and Concubine Xi are the ones who use them more, so the harem is peaceful these days."
The queen was gnashing her teeth, where was the peace? Not to mention that the old pious woman of the Wu Ya family had a moth that no one could stop. Just a while ago, it was obvious that Yuanshou's high fever was caused by Concubine Xi, and Concubine Dun wanted to stay in the Emperor's Yikun Palace.
Spending the night... Treating the palace rules as child's play?! Where is the peace here?! The emperor is obviously telling lies with his eyes open!
Yinzhen said unceremoniously: "Since Concubine Yu and Concubine Xi are worthy of use, they should continue to use them."
"Your Majesty!" The queen finally became anxious, "I accept the Emperor's kindness. It's just that the concubine takes care of the palace affairs, which will eventually arouse criticism. In particular, Concubine Yu has a reputation of being gentle and virtuous. If I don't accept it, I will accept it."
The hard work of taking care of the palace affairs has brought her a bad reputation, and I can't bear it."
Shu Jin: Hey, do I still have to thank you?
The Queen's level of eloquence has improved a lot!
When Concubine Xi saw this, she gritted her teeth and stood up, "I am not afraid of rumors and I am willing to continue to share the worries of the Queen!"
The queen was so angry that her nose became crooked. Who cares about sharing your worries? Bitch!!
Yinzhen looked coldly at Concubine Yu, who was pretending to be mute, and then at Concubine Xi...
Seeing this, the Queen also gritted her teeth and said: "Your Majesty, it is my duty to be in charge of the Sixth Palace. If the Emperor must be considerate of me, I hope someone will share the burden for me. I think Concubine Yu is more suitable.
"
Shu Jin: No, I’m not suitable!!
The Queen forced a smile: "Concubine Yu has more senior qualifications, and her character is praised by the Sixth Palace. What's even more difficult is that her brother Tianshen is healthy and sensible, and he has never been ill or caused trouble." - If you want to.
She would rather take advantage of Concubine Yu by giving away part of the palace power!
Shu Jin’s head is as big as a bucket, who cares about bullshit palace power?
Dog Emperor, please don’t agree!
Yinzhen turned to look at Geng: "Fei Yu, what do you think?"
I feel very bad! Shu Jin roared in his heart, but his face became more humble, "I don't deserve such praise from the queen. I listen to the emperor and the empress." - It's the same sentence!
Yinzhen was silent for a moment. Although he preferred Concubine Yu, Concubine Yu had such a temperament... If she was asked to assist the Queen in managing the Sixth Palace, she would probably just be a decoration.
"Since you don't want to, forget it." Yinzhen also felt quite regretful in his heart.
Shu Jin: Huh? You actually understand what I mean?!
The Queen's heart skipped a beat.
Yinzhen said calmly: "In that case, from now on, Concubine Xi will help the queen and take care of the palace affairs."
"Your Majesty!" The Queen couldn't help but be anxious. This Concubine Yu, who asked you to be humble? Just accept it!
Concubine Xi was overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Yes, I will definitely share my worries for the Queen. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and could finally lie down again.
