Chapter 5 Undercurrent

 The Chong Kingdom has long been destroyed, and all its land has been divided and annexed by other countries.

Si Ningchi just said casually, he never expected that the Jade Seal of the Kingdom of Chang was really there?

Zhao Zongheng left after eating and drinking, his eyes before leaving seemed to say.

Come back after dinner.

Si Ningchi took advantage of the situation and asked for permission to set up a private kitchen in Fengwu Palace. Zhao Zongheng agreed without any surprise. But after a while, the imperial chef came to pay homage to the queen. It was none other than the person who helped Si Ningchi in the imperial dining room.

The cook making boiled pork slices in Ningchi.

"Minion Wu Sanxi pays homage to the Empress!" Wu Sanxi kowtowed, feeling very excited and happy. Hearing that the Empress came to ask for someone, he had to squeeze his head out to get the name, not for anything else but for that bowl of food.

The shocking boiled pork slices.

The official in the imperial kitchen gave advice, saying that the queen was not easy to get along with. Be careful if you accidentally make the queen unhappy, she will never come back!

Wu Sanxi couldn't listen to the advice. He always dreamed of making that dish. Now that he had such a good opportunity, he didn't want to let it go, so he came here in a hurry.

"When you enter the gate of Fengwu Palace, you are a member of this palace." Si Ningchi curled his lips and looked at Wu Sanxi and said, "Watch your mouth carefully. Think carefully about what you can say out loud and what you can't say."<

/p>

"Su Yongde, take him down." Si Ningchi waved his hand lazily.

The only advantage of passing through is that it doesn't require any means to establish authority. Everyone in the palace is afraid of her and dare not do anything unruly.

How could Wu Sanxi not understand? She responded respectfully.

The emperor's several visits to Fengwu Palace have shocked everyone in the palace. Today's punishment of Concubine Rong made people even more shocked. Concubine Rong in Yu'an Palace smashed the fine jade bottle and almost gritted her teeth and said: "Yesterday I heard that she intercepted

It’s surprising that the emperor was asked to go to Fengwu Palace at Concubine Xian’s request.”

"I didn't expect that today, she would actually attract the emperor to stand up for her!" She was punished to copy scriptures. Although no concubine in this palace has a very holy heart, she is considered favored in this palace for her talent and beauty.

,The emperor never disrespects her easily.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The eldest palace maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward and comforted her: "The Queen is the Lord of the Sixth Palace after all, and the Emperor's kindness is deserved."

"Isn't the position of a queen enough!?" Concubine Rong raised her voice, tightened the brocade handkerchief in her hand and said: "Just because she is the daughter of the Si family, she can enter the middle palace, her Si family..."

Why!

Concubine Rong was full of resentment. Years ago, the Empress Dowager even persuaded the establishment of a queen. She clearly wanted to be promoted to a concubine in the harem. She served the emperor with all her heart and soul. She had already reached this point. She was just waiting for the Empress Dowager to give her the golden mouth. She would definitely

Can be promoted to the lower position!

But why, why did Sining Pond appear out of thin air!

Danju hurriedly grabbed Concubine Rong's sleeve, glanced nervously at no one outside the palace and then said: "Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"

"The decree of the Queen Mother is the legacy of the late Emperor. Even the Queen Mother cannot disobey it easily." Dan Ju said with a serious expression: "Now that the throne has been decided, it is too late to say anything. The Queen Mother must not act foolishly. The Marquis of Xiwu is now in the court.

The status is not low.

"How could I not know this?" After Concubine Rong heard this, her mood softened slightly but her eyes were still cold and she said: "What about the queen..."

"As long as we can win the Emperor's Sacred Heart, it is more important than anything else." Concubine Rong closed her eyes and clenched her fists. She would never give in so easily.

Yu'an Palace was not stable, and Yuning Palace was also not at peace. Concubine De coughed under her throat, and the palace attendants beside her were busy serving her tea and water. They said with distressed eyes: "Your Majesty is so ill, why bother today?"

Are you going to the Central Palace to pay your respects?"

Concubine De held the handkerchief and touched her lips. After hearing this, she smiled softly and said, "If I hadn't gone today, how could I have seen such a big show..."

"The Queen is too overbearing. There has always been harmony in the palace. It is not allowed to ask the Emperor to come and see the Queen because she is seriously ill. In fact..." Hong Tao pursed her lips and frowned as if she was very unhappy.

"Ahem..." Concubine De couldn't help laughing. She had resentment in her heart, but when she thought about Concubine Rong being reprimanded by the emperor in Fengwu Palace today, she couldn't help but laugh. She disliked Rong the most.

The concubine behaves like that.

The Emperor has never shown any preference among the concubines in the harem, but Concubine Rong boasts that she is favored by her, and that she was born in the Prime Minister's Palace, and she seems to be superior to others, and she is used to coaxing the Queen Mother.

She has no place among the four concubines, but she doesn't even look down on her because of her majesty.

It is a pleasure to see Concubine Rong being punished in front of the Emperor today.

"Send someone to the Si Zan Bureau to talk about it. We, Concubine Rong, hate to see people who are not meticulous in their work." Concubine De curled her lips and said with a smile: "Let the ceremony search carefully, and take all the scriptures that have not been copied completely.

Let Concubine Rong take a good look at it and copy it again."

"After all... this is the emperor's will." The smile on Concubine De's lips widened, and Hong Tao instantly showed a look of understanding when she heard the words, and she quickly leaned over and agreed.

Si Ningchi has not yet noticed the undercurrents surging in the palace.

Because...

"Summoned by the Queen Mother?" Before Si Ningchi could lie down, someone came from Ci'an Palace.

"Maybe it's for the rain praying ceremony tomorrow?" Suyun was also a little puzzled, thinking for a moment and whispered.

"..."

Ci'an Palace is not as simple as Fengwu Palace. It is simply more luxurious and does not look like the residence of the Queen Mother at all.

The current Queen Mother Cui is not the emperor's biological mother, nor is she her adoptive mother, she is just a successor. Mother and son have no friendship at all. It is even rumored that the death of the emperor's biological mother due to illness was mostly caused by Cui. This woman is used to acting and has not shown any flaws so far.

.

The emperor didn't even pretend to be displeased with the Queen Mother. He never came to pay her respects, let alone express his condolences during the holidays.

However, the emperor was satisfied with the Queen Mother's daily life and took care of her, so there was such a magnificent Ci'an Palace.

"My concubine pays homage to the Queen Mother." Si Ningchi bowed his head in greeting. He raised his eyes slightly and saw the young woman sitting on the throne, wearing a rich dress and rich makeup. This is the Queen Mother of Tianqing Kingdom. I am afraid that all

Less than thirty years old.

Empress Dowager Cui raised her eyes to look at Si Ningchi, and there was inevitably a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

She looks so much like that woman...

Empress Dowager Cui withdrew her eyes and said casually: "The Ai family heard that the emperor rewarded the jasper and glazed orb to the empress today?"

Si Ningchi: "..."

If it’s not just a broken bead, why do you bring it out again and again and talk about it!!!

"Yes, I thought it looked good, so I ordered someone to wear it with a phoenix crown." Si Ningchi curled his lips and looked at Empress Dowager Cui and said, "The Queen Mother likes it? That concubine..."

"The Ai family is not going to snatch things from you." Queen Mother Cui's face hinted at displeasure, and her eyes were a bit angry. She seemed to be displeased with Si Ningchi's lack of understanding, and she stared at Si Ningchi with her lips tightened.

Ning Chi said: "I just never thought that the emperor would reward you with the pearl."
