"That's what the palace maid who delivered the meal said." Yingchun said slowly, thinking that she had said something wrong.
Looking at the Queen Mother again, she didn't seem unhappy.
Originally, she thought that Hua Chang was the one chosen by the Empress Dowager. Now that the Concubine Xian was favored, she might be able to help the Empress Dowager to get out of the cold palace as soon as possible.
Could it be that she is overthinking?
"It's indeed a bit strange that Hua Chang was suddenly promoted to a virtuous concubine." Mu Ci murmured to himself.
It's not that Hua Chang is inferior to other concubines, but that the emperor doesn't like her, and Hua Chang happens to be the beauty she sent to the palace. She thought the emperor was somewhat taboo about Hua Chang.
Why did this person get promoted to Hua Chang's status today?
"Did you hear it wrong?" Sizhu also found it incredible.
"How could I hear it wrong? What that person said was that Hua Xiuyi was promoted to a virtuous concubine. I didn't have a good ear, so I heard clearly. I even asked specifically, so I couldn't have misunderstood." Yingchun hummed softly.
Mu Ci lowered his eyes and said after a while: "The emperor's palace is very deep. Of course it is useful for him to upgrade Chang Chang to a virtuous concubine. Or maybe Yun Xi has done something recently to make the emperor unhappy, and the emperor needs someone to suppress Yun Xi.
, so she promoted Huachang to the rank of concubine."
Dugu Liancheng has a purpose in everything he does, and I believe this time will be no exception.
"It's ironic to say that the virtuous concubines given to the emperor by the empress are already first-class empresses, but the empress is regarded as the queen mother but is reduced to the cold palace. I don't know if the emperor did it on purpose." Sizhu suddenly thought.
Mu Ci did not agree with Sizhu's idea: "The emperor would not use a first-grade virtuous concubine to do such childish things. A virtuous concubine should be of greater use."
As for what it was, she didn't care.
The days in Chenxiang Palace are particularly comfortable, and my mind is very clear, which is suitable for thinking about complicated things.
She listed all the people who might have framed her, but she had no evidence and couldn't pinpoint the target right now.
Therefore, no matter how comfortable the cold palace is, she cannot stay for too long. She has to leave this place and interact with people outside to find out the truth.
She is not in a hurry at the moment. The really anxious people should be her father, and perhaps the emperor who is forced to be anxious by his father.
The day when she leaves Chenxiang Palace is not far away...
**
Early the next morning, all the concubines of the fifth rank and above in the harem went to Jiuhua Palace to pay their respects to the virtuous concubine.
This time even Yunxi came.
As soon as she appeared, she became the focus of everyone's attention.
Hua Shang sat in the front seat and watched Yun Xi hold Qin Fang's hand in.
"Congratulations." Yun Xi reluctantly spat out two words.
"If Li Zhaoyi doesn't want to come to pay my respects, there's no need to show up in my eyes. You can go back to Cuiwei Palace and stay well. It won't be a problem if you don't see guests for a few months." Hua Shang was dressed in luxury, with gorgeous makeup and a red face.
I can't tell you how proud she is right now.
Yun Xi forced out a smile: "Your Majesty, the Concubine Xian, made serious remarks. I came here specially to congratulate you and also sent you a generous gift."
She raised her hand, signaling Qinfang to deliver the gift box.
Qiu Tao stepped forward to take the gift box and threw it aside the next moment, making it clear that she did not appreciate Cuiwei Palace's gift.
Everyone felt very happy when they saw Yun Xi being criticized.
In the past, everyone was looking at Yun Xi's face, and many of them felt resentful. Now it was Yun Xi's turn to look at Hua Shang's face, and of course everyone was very happy.
This time, Yun Xi kept a low profile throughout the whole process. Hua Shang, who had been suppressed by Yun Xi before, was now in full glory, making Yun Xi lose her face.
