Chapter 212: Queen Jiang was pissed off to death by Concubine Liu
After listening, Shen Zhinian couldn't help but shook his head.
Concubine Liu was indeed still the Concubine Liu she was familiar with, with a hot temper and would not indulge anyone.
Yuan Bao sighed, "The four words 'favored the most in the six palaces' are not just a joke. In the past, whenever any concubine had a dispute with the Imperial Concubine, no matter who was right or wrong, His Majesty would always favor the Imperial Concubine."
"Even though Lady Wen has the support of the Empress, she has just entered the palace and is not yet fully grown. It would be unwise for her not to keep a low profile when facing the Imperial Concubine."
Shen Zhinian smiled and said, "The Imperial Concubine intends to cause trouble for Lady Wen, but will it help if she keeps her head down and behaves herself?"
"But this incident near Kunning Gate is a clear slap in the face of the Empress."
Handan smiled and said, "I understand."
"It seems that the Imperial Concubine is targeting Noble Lady Wen, but in fact, she is trying to intimidate the Empress. This move is to let the Empress know that even if the Duke of Zhenguo sends another daughter to the palace, it will not threaten her position."
Shen Zhinian tapped her forehead and said, "You are a smart girl."
The smile on Handan's face became even brighter: "Given your majesty's preference for the Imperial Concubine, does that mean that this time, Noble Lady Wen is going to suffer the loss of this mute?"
"Do not."
Shen Zhinian shook his head and said, "Have you forgotten the purpose of His Majesty's appointment of Concubine Wen to the palace? This time, the Imperial Concubine will have to taste the taste of being humiliated..."
Handan has learned a lot and has not asked the queen whether she wants to help the imperial concubine in secret. After all, the queen is pregnant, and taking care of herself is the most important thing.
"Xiao Mingzi, go and find out what's going on outside."
"Slave, you obey!"
……
Kunning Palace.
Queen Jiang forced herself to stay calm and asked people to invite all the relevant personnel in.
Concubine Liu bowed, sat on a chair and drank tea slowly, without any sense of guilt for having done something wrong.
There was a clear slap mark on Jiang Wange's face. Looking at Concubine Liu's calm appearance, she felt sad and humiliated!
She is an orphan in modern society and grew up in an orphanage, so after traveling through the book, she has no attachment to her original world. When she came to this world, her heart was even full of novelty and excitement, and she felt that she was the heroine chosen by God.
Because she knew that life was not easy, Jiang Wange had always cherished her life. The sense of novelty in her heart came to an abrupt end after she learned about her original identity!
Knowing that the entire family of the Duke of Zhenguo would eventually be executed, she had thought of many ways to survive over the past half month.
For example, instead of entering the palace and getting involved in this mess, he could find an opportunity to escape secretly.
But after understanding the rules of this era, Jiang Wange became desperate.
First of all, the world outside is not as beautiful as described in some novels. Women can also make their way in the world and build a career.
In ancient times, a woman walking alone outside was no different from throwing a piece of fat meat into a pack of wolves. She would probably be spotted by evil-minded criminals before she could get far away, and no one knew where she would be sold.
Secondly, whether you are doing business or doing other things, you need to go through the household registration procedures.
Even if you just want to go to other places, you need a pass. Otherwise, you will be caught by the officers and soldiers as a spy, and you will be imprisoned at the least, or exiled to the army at the worst.
Jiang Wange couldn't handle these problems, so escape was simply not feasible.
The most important thing is that this is an imperial society. If the emperor wants to execute her entire family, it will be useless even if she has the ability to run to the ends of the earth!
The only way to survive is to find a way to make the emperor change his mind.
After sorting out these things, Jiang Wange became motivated again. She took the attitude of taking the college entrance examination and studied the palace rules with the nanny very seriously.
She thought that as long as she worked hard enough, she would be able to change the inevitable death!
But this slap from Concubine Liu completely woke Jiang Wange up, and made her understand the cruelty of ancient society...
Rules are used to restrain those below. Even if she has learned the palace rules well, in the eyes of those in power, she is no different from an ant.
Since it is useless to talk about palace rules, let's talk about status! A noble concubine, no matter how noble she is, is still a concubine. Can she go beyond the queen? !
"The Queen..."
Jiang Wange covered her face and choked up, "Near Kunning Gate, the Imperial Concubine dared to slap the face of the Imperial Concubine. It's obvious that she doesn't take you seriously."
"Please make the decision for me..."
Queen Jiang would not miss any opportunity to suppress Concubine Liu, especially since Jiang Wange was her sister.
She looked at Concubine Liu and frowned. "I originally thought that Concubine Liu was just hot-tempered. But today, Concubine Liu was too overbearing!"
Concubine Liu sneered, not showing any fear at all: "For no reason, Concubine Wen actually asked Concubine Zhou to think carefully about how to let herself and the child survive. What's the difference between this and cursing the heir to the throne?"
"The Queen is not in good health. As the first person in charge of the six palaces, what's wrong with me disciplining a noble who speaks without restraint?"
"Your Majesty should be thankful that I heard this today and only gave Concubine Wen a light punishment and a severe warning."
"Otherwise, if it gets to His Majesty's ears, I wonder if His Majesty will think that it was the Empress who had some ideas about Lady Zhou's heir, and that's why Lady Wen said such a thing..."
Jiang Wange defended herself: "No! I didn't curse the heir, I just reminded Lady Zhou..."
Little did they know that Concubine Liu's words made Empress Jiang feel guilty for the first time, and she even lost confidence in her words: "Even so, Concubine Wen is a concubine, and Concubine should not hit her in the face. Who can bear such a sin if it affects the service to His Majesty?"
Concubine Liu smiled contemptuously: "Oh, I understand. If Concubine Wen speaks rudely again, I will hit her in other places."
Queen Jiang choked: "...You!"
Before she could get angry, Concubine Liu stood up and glanced at Jiang Wange with contempt: "I haven't finished reading the account books of Yongshou Palace yet. I won't disturb the Empress and Concubine Wen from chatting about sisterhood. Goodbye!"
Jiang Wange's chest rose and fell rapidly with anger: "She is so arrogant, isn't she afraid that His Majesty will blame her if he finds out?!"
When Concubine Liu, who had already walked to the door, heard this, the sneer in her eyes became even stronger.
Your Majesty has never blamed her for other concubines. A mere noble lady like Wen really thinks she is a dish!
Queen Jiang was so angry that she fell on the couch and started coughing violently.
"Queen!"
Gao Yunhuai felt so distressed that he rushed over to pat her on the back to calm her down.
Jiang Wange didn't care about being angry anymore, and asked carefully: "Empress...are you okay?"
Although Queen Jiang was not a good person, she was her only support in the harem. If Queen Jiang was angered to death by Concubine Liu in advance, wouldn't she be doomed?
