It's not like Qin Jiaoxi didn't think about the troubles he might encounter after coming to Danlie Kingdom.
However, no matter where she is in the future, these troubles will never go away, so she has long been indifferent to them.
At worst, it's just a matter of picking and attacking.
What's more, Bo Jiming was able to be reborn for her, even giving up returning to his modern world. This intention alone was worth her effort to deal with all the troubles related to him.
"Don't worry, mother and concubine, we will be careful in dealing with people and things in the palace."
"However, what do you plan to do now? Do you want to continue the stalemate with Concubine Shen?"
"We can't let brother Ji Ming and his father stay in the study room all the time!"
Shang Yin smiled: "It's okay. Anyway, we were separated too many times before, and we got over it so easily. Anyway, it's not me and him who can't bear it!"
Then he talked to Qin Jiaoxi about the current situation in the harem.
"Although the Empress and Concubine Shen fight fiercely, they have a common backer, the Shangshu Mansion, so it is easy for them to form an alliance to deal with other concubines."
"So over the years, it is difficult for anyone in the palace to surpass Concubine Shen Shu in status. No matter which new favorite appears, the Queen and Concubine Shen will work together to suppress it, and then they will compete with each other for favor."
"Concubine Shen has only had two sons and no daughters for so many years, so she recognized Han Wei as her adopted daughter very early and has been raising her in the palace. Although the queen has three princesses, she only has one son, so she is evenly matched with Concubine Shen."
"The only one who escaped their suppression was Concubine Liu, who had emerged in recent years. She and Boqing's mother-in-law were sisters. After entering the palace together, they remained silent for a while until Boqing's mother-in-law died of illness. Liu Guifei The imperial concubine gradually rose up and opposed Concubine Shen and the Queen."
"She was the loser at the beginning, but I was not in the palace during those years and I didn't know her situation. I only know that later, for some unknown reason, Concubine Shen's eldest son and the other two princes both lost in the fight for the right to inherit the throne, and the younger son and the Queen were both defeated. My son was also sent to the border for embezzling money from the Mo Dynasty."
"The rest of the princes are still insignificant. Only Concubine Liu Guifei's son and Bo Qing are admired by the emperor. They were gradually promoted, and Concubine Liu Guifei gradually gained a firm foothold."
"Speaking of which, Bo Qing now regards her as his elder. Concubine Liu's son is still young and regards Bo Qing as an elder brother. He has learned a lot from him. This is why the emperor later trusted Bo Qing to handle government affairs. The reason.”
"Therefore, Xi'er, you must guard against the Queen and Concubine Shen in the palace, and you cannot take it lightly even if you are with Concubine Liu. After all, although her son is young, he is still a prince after all!"
Qin Jiaoxi and Bo Jiming listened quietly, and were about to ask how many princes were left in the palace when they suddenly heard someone outside saying that the Queen Mother had summoned them.
Shang Yin raised her eyebrows at Qin Jiaoxi: "Look, what did I just say?"
"You two wait here obediently. I'll be back as soon as I go."
However, the father-in-law who sent the message added: "What the Queen wants to see is Princess Chu Ning brought back by the Crown Princess and the Young Prince."
Qin Jiaoxi was stunned.
Bo Jiming immediately said: "Then I will go with you."
The old eunuch frowned displeased: "The Queen has not summoned the young prince, so you should wait here..."
"If I don't go into the palace, I'll just wait outside!" Bo Jiming interrupted him.
It stands to reason that the prince's son can walk freely anywhere in the harem as long as he does not enter the concubine's palace.
However, the old eunuch's face darkened: "Young prince, it's better to wait here!"
Bo Jiming raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Is this also the Queen Mother's order? Do you want me to stay in Qingli Palace and not go out?"
The old eunuch was stunned for a moment: "What we mean is that the Queen has only summoned the Crown Princess and Princess Chu Ning, so the young prince does not need to be bothered to go there."
"Besides, there isn't much space in this palace. My Majesty can't hide the young prince, your mother and concubine, and Princess Chu Ning so blatantly."
Bo Jiming smiled slightly: "No problem, I won't feel tired wherever I run. Let's go!"
…
Luo City did not distinguish between the imperial city and the outer city.
Therefore, the huge city was divided into four directions and spread out in all directions with the palace as the center.
The imperial palace occupies about one-tenth of the area of Luo City.
The palace is also divided into squares and the entire palace is divided into nine grids.
The most central one is the Qiankun Hall, which is needed for going to court.
To the left and right of the Qiankun Hall are the huge Tianshu Pavilion and the Yushitai, and behind it is the Yuchi Hall, which served as the emperor's sleeping quarters and imperial study room for resting and working.
To the left and right of Yuchi Hall are the territories of the queen and the three thousand beauties in the harem.
A large space is left at the front of the Qiankun Hall to organize troops and horses. On the left is the Prince's Qingli Hall, and on the right is the school grounds.
This is what Qin Jiaoxi and Bo Jiming initially learned after walking around the palace two or three times.
It just so happens that the queen's bedroom is also on the left, so in fact you don't have to walk too far. If you walk faster, you can get there in just a cup of tea.
Bo Jiming stopped outside Kunning Palace, watching Qin Jiaoxi and Shang Yin get down and walk in.
For some reason, he always had a bad premonition.
If the Queen could be dealt with so easily, he would not have been sent to the Duke of Yan, and Shang Yin would not have been hidden first and then sent out.
But, just like what the old eunuch said, now that she has come to summon her openly, she can't still dare to make trouble openly and openly?
On the other side, after Qin Jiaoxi and Shang Yin stepped into Kunning Palace, they were quickly taken to the side hall on the left by a nun.
That is where the queen rests every day.
Shang Yin whispered to Qin Jiaoxi: "Although we are meeting at the resting place, don't really believe what she said about not being too formal."
Qin Jiaoxi nodded silently.
It seems that this is also an experience gained at a disadvantage?
However, when the two of them entered the side hall, they found that there was no one inside.
The nun who led the way said: "The Queen suddenly went to the imperial study room for something. She will be back soon. Please wait a moment!"
Qin Jiaoxi raised her eyebrows slightly: "You mean the Queen went to the Imperial Study Room?"
But the nanny had already retreated and stopped replying.
Qin Jiaoxi and Shang Yin looked at each other. They both thought of something and both stared.
"Could she...?"
"It seems I overestimated her."
Shang Yin shook his head and said: "I thought there was some different trick, but I didn't expect it was still the same as coercion and inducement."
"It's nothing more than pretending to casually mention that I am in Kunning Palace when talking to the emperor, so that the prince can hear it, and then put forward her conditions and requirements, so that Boqing is forced to agree to her."
Shang Yin sighed: "There's nothing new at all."
Qin Jiaoxi suddenly smiled: "Who says there are no new ideas? Mother and concubine must not forget that Xi'er was included in this list."
