"Your Majesty, people are talking about this outside, saying that the Queen Mother and the Emperor..." Yuan'er, the palace maid serving beside Yi Bin, said cautiously: "It was really that kind of relationship before, and they said that your Majesty... is, the Queen Mother's.
substitute."
After hearing this, Yi Bin's face suddenly darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said, "I don't believe that the emperor has no affection for me."
Yuan'er quickly said: "I think the emperor must like the empress!"
"Besides, at the age the Queen Mother is now, how can she compare with you?" Yuan'er said, holding her concubine in her arms very sensibly.
"Huh." Yi Bi hummed slightly with a hint of satisfaction, caressed her cheek, sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the bronze mirror, feeling very satisfied.
"But what should I do now?" Yuan'er said as if she was worried about her master: "The emperor is very enthusiastic about the emperor now. If he is disturbed like this and the emperor forgets about the emperor, what should he do?"
Yi Bi obviously didn't want this to happen. She lowered her eyes and thought for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "Since the Queen Mother is so shameless, then let's help her."
Yibin said, waving to Yuan'er: "You go..."
The fight between the Cui family and Yi concubine was in full swing, and Si Ningchi and De Fei did not forget to add firewood and fuel to the side.
Queen Mother Cui's special concern for the emperor has been repeatedly misinterpreted, and many voices of disapproval gradually emerged in the court. They believed that Queen Mother Cui should pay attention to propriety, and as a queen mother, she must pay attention to her words and deeds, otherwise she would insult the dignity of the royal family.
The relationship between Queen Mother Cui and the Emperor when they were young was revealed one after another.
What Cui didn't know was that it was Zhao Zongheng himself who revealed the incident.
Of course, Si Ningchi's contribution is unavoidable. At night, Si Ningchi held Zhao Zongheng in his arms and asked him to recall every detail of his relationship with Mr. Cui for three whole nights.
Asking Zhao Zongheng to recall it was not enough, and he had to ask someone to write it down.
Then she turned around and handed it to Yi Bi, who saw where she could sit still. She didn't expect that there was such a rich past between Queen Mother Cui and the Emperor, so she immediately started to scold Cui for being shameless.
The Queen Mother actually covets the Emperor!
It's simply unethical!
The curses gradually started to get louder and more outrageous, and it even reached the point where some people speculated that the emperor was so disgusted with Cui, perhaps because he was afraid of being seduced by such words.
Mrs. Cui was so angry that she got angry in Ci'an Palace. Finally, she chose to avoid the attack temporarily and restrained herself from getting in front of Zhao Zongheng.
Yi Bi was very proud, thinking that she had won the battle completely.
"It's time for the next play to begin." Si Ningchi watched the play end with his own eyes. He narrowed his eyes with great satisfaction and raised his fingers at Zhao Zongheng who was resting on his bed.
"..." Zhao Zongheng was extremely tired and resignedly stood up and walked over.
"The next step is to wrong the emperor." Si Ningchi touched his face and said with a smile.
"Have I not been wronged enough?" Zhao Zongheng laughed angrily. He always felt that Si Ningchi was torturing him in various ways. What about revenge?
Si Ningchi smiled brightly, winked at Zhao Zongheng and said, "I want the emperor to pretend to be drunk and call out the Queen Mother's nickname to the concubine, and I will let the Queen Mother 'accidentally' bump into her..."
Zhao Zongheng's face was twisted, and he already felt like vomiting before he even started acting.
Si Ningchi coaxed Zhao Zongheng for a long time before letting him climb over the wall with a dark face and go back.
The emperor was drunk, and Wang Chengxiang didn't know what to do. The emperor refused to drink the sobering soup prepared by his order. Finally, in desperation, he sent for the Yi concubine, hoping to ask the Yi concubine to persuade the emperor. The news also
I don't know who leaked it, but it reached the ears of Empress Dowager Cui.
How could Mrs. Cui sit still? After being persuaded by the palace attendants, she immediately got up and came to Chengming Palace, where she saw that the concubine was wiping the emperor's cheek with a wet towel.
Zhao Zongheng's eyes were filled with drunkenness. He stared at the concubine with squinted eyes for a long time and actually called out Queen Mother Cui's name.
Wang Chengxiang and others heard it just in time. They were shocked and hurriedly knelt down. The Yi concubine suddenly froze in place and looked at Zhao Zongheng with shock and grief. Only Cui who had just stepped into the palace felt ecstasy in her heart.
.
"See, see the Queen Mother." When Wang Chengxiang saw the Queen Mother Cui walking out, he even took a breath of air, looking quite at a loss.
"How come the Queen Mother is here..." Yibi stiffened her back and turned around to see Mrs. Cui also stiffening.
"How did you serve the emperor and actually asked him to drink so much wine? If the emperor is ill, you all should die!" Cui saw the blushing Zhao Zongheng and scolded Wang Chengxiang and others with some distress.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, forgive me." Wang Chengxiang hurriedly leaned over to apologize.
"Give the sobering soup to the Aijia, and you all can go down." Ms. Cui stepped forward and looked at Yibin with a somewhat proud smile: "Do you really think that having a face similar to the Aijia can replace the Aijia?"
What is the place of family in the heart of the emperor?"
"You're not qualified yet." Mrs. Cui reached out and pinched Yi Bi's face, and her nails scratched a thin mark on her face with such force.
"Get out of here." Ms. Cui waved her to the side.
"Ah!" Yi concubine fell to the ground, looked up at Cui and sneered: "The Queen Mother is really affectionate for the emperor, you are the emperor's elder!"
"Nonsense!" Ms. Cui hated the word "elder" and screamed immediately: "The Ai family is not related to the emperor by blood, it's just a false name!"
"A false name? A false name is also a name!" Yi Concubine smiled as if she was a little arrogant: "Is the Queen Mother going to give up her position as the Queen Mother to be on an equal footing with my concubines?"
"You are presumptuous!"
When Cui heard this, she became furious. She raised her foot and kicked Yibi, causing her to stumble and roll away. However, Yibi became even more crazy and shouted as if she had caught some of Cui's tail.
: "As the Queen Mother, but you have undue thoughts towards the Emperor, you deserve to die!"
"Such an unethical act! If everyone in the world knew about it..."
"So what if you know!" Mrs. Cui seemed to be stimulated, her mood fluctuations continued to increase, and she even became excited and said: "If there hadn't been an accident back then, how could the Ai family have become the late emperor's concubines!"
"Accident? I can't see what kind of accident it is..." Yi Bi laughed and said, "It was obvious that she failed to seduce the emperor, so she went to seduce the late emperor and climbed onto the dragon's bed!"
Ms. Cui screamed and rushed forward, tearing Yibi's mouth apart, and cursed like she was venting her anger: "Ah! I'll beat you to death, you little bitch!"
The Yi concubine did not hesitate to give in, and while hiding, she continued to scold Cui for climbing on the bed!
Cui was so angry that she slapped her concubine on the face and angrily said, "If Queen Qi hadn't harmed me, how could I have been harmed by the late emperor...that bitch?"
