Chapter 442: Concubine Liu's Revenge on Concubine Liang (24 Reward Value Plus)
Before Jiang Shuren was deposed, none of her evil deeds were exposed. But in the eyes of the ministers, she was still not a qualified queen.
It was because Jiang Shuren was in poor health and unable to maintain the stability of the emperor's harem that constant disputes occurred among the concubines.
Handan nodded, not quite understanding.
Not only her, Fuqiu and the others had always believed that many things were judged by right and wrong. They didn't expect that the ways of the harem were far more complicated than they imagined...
Nanny Xiao stood aside, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.
When she was nine years old, she was assigned to serve the Grand Empress Dowager. At that time, she was not qualified to serve the Grand Empress Dowager closely, and could only do some rough work in the yard and obey the orders of the maids.
Later, she changed from a little palace maid to a nanny, and gradually understood these principles.
I didn't expect that the queen is so young, but she already understands the world from the perspective of the superiors.
Suddenly, a thought popped up in Madam Xiao's mind -
With your intelligence and insight, if you were to become the Empress, you would definitely be a virtuous queen who would satisfy His Majesty and the court officials, and be respected by the concubines!
In fact... Shen Zhinian also summarized these experiences in his previous life.
At that time, Lu Jianglin had already become the prime minister, managing countless officials.
With more people, there are more opinions, which is bound to cause friction.
It is impossible to bother Your Majesty with everything. If it is not an extremely important matter, it will naturally be resolved by the Prime Minister first.
But when it comes to political differences, there is often no right or wrong. It’s just that two people have different opinions and no one can convince the other.
The quarrel turned into a mess.
What the prime minister has to do in most cases is not to promote one party and suppress the other, but to maintain the stability of the court and prevent the emperor from worrying.
The same principle applies to the harem.
She couldn't go out during the confinement period, and normal people, except for visiting, would not come to Zhongcui Palace to cause trouble for Shen Zhinian.
She didn't need to get involved in those troublesome things, so she leaned on the soft pillow and said slowly: "Although De Fei's methods are vicious, they are effective. Liang Fei suffered such a big loss at her hands this time, she will definitely not let it go."
"And the Imperial Concubine, whose power in the six palaces has been taken away by Concubine Liang for so long, will definitely regain all the face she has lost once she is able to rise again."
"Let them continue to fight. The more chaotic the fight, the better! As for me, I will just watch the show quietly in Zhongcui Palace..."
Xiao Mingzi immediately said with a smile: "My lady, I promise to find out the latest news every day and not let you get bored!"
……
Changchun Palace.
After receiving the emperor's order, Ruoli felt extremely aggrieved, but he did not dare to say anything in front of the people in front of the emperor.
After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, she burst into tears: "My queen, this matter is obviously framed by someone!"
"Even if the young master's men went to the market when he was on duty in Hegang, it cannot prove that he bought the snake attractant powder!"
"How can Your Majesty punish you so severely without any evidence?"
Concubine Liang also understood that His Majesty no longer trusted her as much as before...
But what's the use of talking about this now?
She closed her eyes, suppressing the surging emotions in her eyes, and when she opened them again, her expression had returned to its previous calmness.
"That's why Your Majesty didn't punish me for murdering Concubine De with a poisonous snake. Instead, he said that I was incompetent and couldn't manage the harem well."
But how can a concubine, who has been described by His Majesty himself as incompetent, hold power in the harem in the future?
It's getting further and further away from that location...
After all, who would choose an incompetent concubine as queen?
Your Majesty will not do so, and the court officials will certainly not allow it.
Xiao Yueying...what a vicious method!
Ruoli asked anxiously, "My Lady, what should we do now?"
"Last time, you finally gained His Majesty's apology. But this time, although the crime of murdering Concubine De was not entirely on you, we cannot refute the reason why His Majesty punished you..."
"The power of the Six Palaces has returned to the hands of the Imperial Concubine. She will definitely take revenge on us! You must think of a solution quickly. Otherwise, without the Emperor's favor and being targeted by the Imperial Concubine, life in Changchun Palace will become increasingly difficult..."
A dark light flashed in Concubine Liang's eyes.
To be able to reach this position in the harem, doesn’t she know how to harm others?
it's not true.
But her goal in the past has always been the doggy style, so she had to keep her hands clean.
If she had no bottom line like Concubine De, she could indeed eliminate many opponents, but the disadvantage was——
Everyone has seen what happened to Concubine De today.
She made enemies everywhere in the harem, not only losing the trust of His Majesty, but also putting an end to her own life.
How could she follow in Concubine De's footsteps?
Concubine Liang took a deep breath and walked out slowly, her tone calm: "Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. Since your majesty has punished me to kneel in the Qin'an Palace for three days, I will obey your order."
Ruoli really admired the Empress. Even at this time, her mentality was still so stable.
Doesn't she worry about her future at all? !
It's not that Concubine Liang doesn't worry, but she knows that worrying is useless. Since the result can't be changed, it's better to accept the current adversity calmly. Then think calmly about how to break the situation?
……
Yongshou Palace.
Looking at the piles of account books on the table that were sent back from Changchun Palace, Concubine Liu walked over slowly and stretched out her slender fingers to brush across them.
Once upon a time, she valued love and His Majesty more than anything else. When His Majesty asked her to assist in managing the six palaces, she patiently handled each and every trivial matter, helping His Majesty to manage the harem so that he could concentrate on government affairs.
But now...
She only loves and believes in power!
Concubine Liu's eyes were filled with joy, and she sneered, "Although there is another virtuous concubine who assists in managing the six palaces, the truly important power in the harem has finally returned to me!"
Cuizhu and Xiaohuazi looked at each other and said in unison, "Congratulations, Madam!"
"Empress Liang and Your Majesty have been childhood sweethearts, so what? When she was in the palace, she was always outshined by you. Even if she gets something that doesn't belong to her temporarily, she won't be able to keep it in the end!"
"There is still no one in the harem who can compete with the Empress!"
At this point, Cuizhu smiled and covered her mouth: "I heard that Concubine Liang did not sit in the sedan chair, but took Ruoli to the Qin'an Palace and was kneeling inside."
"She is one of the four concubines after all. It's really hilarious that she was punished so mercilessly by His Majesty!"
Concubine Liu snorted coldly: "If you don't have the skills, don't take on porcelain work!"
It is now early September. The temperature is fine during the day, but very cool at night.
Concubine Liu sat back in her chair and said slowly, "Since it is the will of His Majesty, then let Concubine Liang reflect on it! Tell the people in Qin'an Palace to lock the door and not allow anyone to give a quilt to Concubine Liang!"
