"Yes." Si Ningchi responded with a calm voice, closed the account book in his hand, raised his eyes and said, "I have to thank Concubine Shu this time for helping me a lot."
"Go to the warehouse to select some good ginseng medicine and send it to Concubine Shu." Si Ningchi said casually.
"Yes, I will do it now." Su Yongde quickly leaned over and agreed.
Concubine Shu's sudden appearance surprised many people in the palace. Seeing Concubine Shu decisively sending Mei Zhi to the queen for disposal, they thought that Concubine Shu was overthinking it and decided to leave Yuhua Palace to fight for it too. Fight for this favor.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Shu sent someone to the Queen, so she returned to Yuhua Palace. She still said she was ill and could not leave the house, and had no intention of participating in the battle in the palace.
It seems that Mei Zhi took the initiative to show up this time simply because Mei Zhi was from Yuhua Palace and she didn't want to wade into troubled waters, so she specially took him out and let the Queen handle it.
The heat of summer gradually fades away, and the coolness of autumn gradually emerges.
In Fengwu Palace, Si Ningchi was sitting and listening to a book. He was tired of watching the singing and dancing, so he naturally found some other entertainment. A few days ago, he heard that there were a few eloquent storytellers in the capital. It was inconvenient for people to bring them into the palace. .
I have been listening to books with great interest these past few days. From the chaos in the three realms, I heard about the different paths of human beings and monsters in sadomasochistic love. I have to say that you still have to listen to these stories!
While Si Ningchi was listening to the Taoist priest kill his beloved wife, he saw Su Yongde hurriedly walking in.
"Empress, Princess Chaoyang has returned to the capital." Su Yongde leaned over and said to Si Ningchi.
"..." Si Ningchi raised his hand, and the storyteller immediately fell silent, bowed his head and stepped away.
Zhao Zongheng has no biological sisters. The former empress only gave birth to a prince, and none of the concubines in the harem gave birth to a prince. Princess Chaoyang is just one of Zhao Zongheng's many sisters.
Princess Chaoyang's biological mother was Concubine Rong. She died of illness half a year after the new emperor ascended the throne. Princess Chaoyang paid great attention to her filial piety and personally accompanied her late mother to the imperial mausoleum to observe mourning. She stayed there for three years.
What is worth mentioning is that during the three years when Princess Chaoyang went to the imperial mausoleum to observe mourning, she made one request: to have a good concubine as her companion.
The emperor's concubine was asked to accompany the princess to observe filial piety. There was a lot of commotion at the time, but the emperor still agreed.
There is no other reason, just because Concubine Liang and Princess Chaoyang are close friends. She was originally a maid in the princess's palace, and was later adopted by Concubine Rong and pointed out to the emperor, and then she became the current Concubine Liang.< /p>
When Concubine Rong died of illness, it was Concubine Liang who took the initiative to request that she and the princess go together to observe mourning. There were also rumors in the capital at that time that Princess Chaoyang was dissatisfied with the marriage and ruined a marriage arranged by Concubine Rong for her on the pretext of observing filial piety for three years. , after three years, is there any marriage left to talk about?
"Concubine Liang has returned to Beijing with Princess Chaoyang, and has already gone to Changning Palace." Su Yongde looked a little nervous, glanced at Si Ningchi and whispered.
"Yeah." Si Ningchi lowered his eyes and thought about the plot of the comic. After careful calculation, it was time for Princess Chaoyang to return to Beijing.
Princess Chaoyang is not close to the emperor. In other words, Zhao Zongheng is indifferent and indifferent by nature. He seems to be indifferent to everyone. However, he is not bored with Princess Chaoyang, at least it is not like he is facing Queen Mother Cui.
So cold.
Princess Chaoyang’s biological mother, Concubine Rong, could be regarded as the close sister of the late queen in the palace, and they supported each other a lot. Even with this relationship, Zhao Zongheng would be kind to Princess Chaoyang.
Changning Palace is the residence of Princess Chaoyang. When Concubine Liang returned to the palace, she did not return to her own palace but instead stayed in Changning Palace. This was a clear indication that she wanted to tell everyone that Concubine Liang had a great supporter like Princess Chaoyang behind her.
"Your Majesty, that Concubine Liang is not easy to deal with." Su Yongde took a breath and said solemnly to Si Ningchi, "Our emperor has only ever worn a belt sewn by Concubine Liang."
"When the emperor was not yet the prince, the good concubine was already accompanying the emperor. When she was studying with Princess Chaoyang, she got along with the emperor day and night. She is the one who understands the emperor best." Su Yongde said with a bitter face.
Suddenly, I felt like I was facing a formidable enemy. The other ladies in the palace were nothing more than a piece of cake.
But this good concubine is really not simple!!!
How could Si Ningchi not know that in the original manga, shortly after the good concubine returned to Beijing with Princess Chaoyang, Zhao Zongheng promoted her to a noble concubine on the grounds of her loyalty and filial piety, and she became a noble concubine.
So now...
"It seems that there is no need to stay at the palace gate tonight." Si Ningchi narrowed his eyes and smiled, but he did not look angry at all. He stood up and returned to the inner hall.
"Empress?" Su Yun and Su Yongde looked at each other and quickly followed Si Ningchi. After entering the inner hall, she said: "Don't you go and have a look? What if the emperor really..." p>
"There's no need to go." Si Ningchi sat down on the soft couch, closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Go pack your things."
"Ah?" Suyun had a question mark.
"The master is back, I should give way, right?" Si Ningchi opened his eyes, curved his lips and showed a slight smile, but there was such a cold look in his bright phoenix eyes.
In the entire harem, whether it was Concubine De or Concubine Rong who entered the palace more or less due to family reasons or other reasons, only Concubine Liang was different. She sincerely loved the emperor from the beginning to the end.
When she got her wish and became his concubine, she truly loved Zhao Zongheng, regardless of family prosperity or status.
In the original manga, Concubine Liang was killed by Si Ningchi shortly after she became Concubine Liang.
That was also the first time that Zhao Zongheng had the idea of deposing the queen. The whole court condemned the queen's cruel methods. It was also after this that the reputation of the Demon Queen of Si Ningchi grew day by day. It was obvious that Princess Chaoyang was causing trouble. She wanted to
Si Ningchi was burdened with infamy and wanted the emperor to depose the queen.
Now Si Ningchi, now that she knows the outcome, of course she doesn’t want to follow the same old path again, that would be too stupid~
"How can it be enough for her to be a concubine?" Si Ningchi held up his chin and said with a smile: "Be brave and let her take the post."
"..."
Suyun took a breath of cold air and looked at the smiling empress in front of her. Suddenly she had a real feeling, is our empress crazy?
In the Xuanming Hall, Wang Chengxiang was saying in the royal preface that Princess Chaoyang had returned to Changning Palace, and asked the emperor happily: "Princess Chaoyang has ordered someone to prepare dinner, and she said she is inviting the emperor to have a meal with her." Zhao Zongheng kept holding the red pen and responded casually: "Well, I..."
Just as he was about to agree, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Princess Chaoyang has sent someone to invite you? Where is the Queen?"
Wang Chengxiang was stunned for a moment when he was asked. He thought for a moment and stuttered: "No, I didn't invite the queen..."
