Chapter 283: Emperor with Hidden Disease VS Tofu Xishi (3)
·
Ye Xiu Lao Po
Concubine Li, who had just returned to Fengxiang Palace, dropped the cup in her hand when she heard the news.
"What did you say? His Majesty just granted a beautiful lady a title to live in Fengyi Palace?" Concubine Li was very shocked.
Although Qin Mu did not directly designate this beauty as a concubine or one of the nine concubines, the beauty was also in the fourth rank.
"Who is this beauty?" Concubine Li asked with a stern face.
"Back to your Majesty, this beauty is said to have been sent to the palace by Cheng Shaoqing, the young minister of Taipu Temple. She seems to be an ordinary merchant girl, and she is just a tofu seller." The palace maid who passed the news replied.
"A tofu seller... a merchant girl?" Concubine Li didn't expect that she had such a background, and with such a status and family background, how could she be named a beauty as soon as she entered the palace?
You must know that this beauty is the only one in the palace. She is also the legitimate daughter of the Langya Wang family.
The noble daughter of the Langya Wang family was just called a beauty, and a little tofu girl was on equal footing with her?
Even Wang Meiren didn't have a title, but this tofu girl who had just entered the palace had already received a title from His Majesty.
"Empress, do you want..." Concubine Li's confidant maid asked in a low voice. She didn't say the second half of the sentence, but her expression showed how cruel her next words were.
A tofu girl with no background was made a beauty by His Majesty as soon as she entered the palace and was granted a palace with the word "phoenix" in it. Of course they could not allow her to continue with such honor.
Concubine Li raised her lips and said, "No, I don't need to take action."
Concubine Li said, "Find someone to tell Concubine Shu about this matter. Concubine Shu will definitely take action on our behalf."
Concubine Shu and the Zhao family behind her really wanted to have another queen mother, so they did not allow the emperor to have a girl who was not from their Zhao family as a favorite concubine.
Over the years, Concubine Li had been fighting with Concubine Zhao Shu and Concubine Liu Xian for a long time, each wanting to defeat the other and ascend to the rear.
Concubine Li still knew Concubine Shu very well. If she really knew that the emperor had a beloved concubine, she would definitely take action.
After all, the emperor has really treated the women in the harem equally for so many years.
The emperor rarely entered the harem. Because he did not have a queen, he rested in his own palace on the 15th day of the lunar month. Then he would only enter the harem for eighteen days a month. Each of the nine concubines had two days. He would never give anyone an extra day. time.
Concubine Li was very curious about whether this beautiful lady who had just entered the palace could withstand the persecution of Concubine Zhao Shu.
The palace maid was Concubine Li's confidant, and of course she knew the situation on Concubine Shu's side very well, so after her master said this, she quickly figured it out.
……
"Aunt~" Concubine Zhao Shu, who was originally grounded, was called over by the Queen Mother. As soon as she saw the Queen Mother, she couldn't help but act like a baby.
"Aunt! Your Majesty is so cruel~ He has banned me for so long..." Concubine Zhao Shu said coquettishly, holding the Queen Mother's arm, "I have been banned for so long, and I can't even visit my aunt~ I miss my aunt so much~"
Concubine Zhao Shu was the most beloved girl of the Zhao family and the daughter of the Queen Mother's eldest brother. She often went to the palace to see the Queen Mother since she was a child.
The relationship between the aunt and nephew is really good. When Qin Mu was choosing a concubine after he ascended the throne, it was the Queen Mother who decided for her to enter the palace.
The Queen Mother really didn't expect that her niece would be so incompetent. She had been in the palace for so many years, but she didn't give birth to a son or a half, and she didn't even have much love.
For the Queen Mother, the favor is similar to that of other concubines, that is, she is not favored.
"Aunt, I heard that Your Majesty has just sealed a beautiful lady?" Concubine Zhao Shu said, holding the Queen Mother's arm, "I know that I know that there must be a noble concubine and a virtuous concubine behind this news, and they all hope that I will be the leader."
"I'm not stupid." Concubine Zhao Shu said, "This beauty Shu must be very disliked by that beautiful lady Wang."
Although Concubine Zhao Shu looks stupid, she is not really brainless, and she has the Queen Mother, the palace fighting champion, to help her. Of course she will not provoke Wushuang as Concubine Li and others want.
They are all fourth-grade beauties, and the first one to be unable to sit still must be the Beauty Wang who was born in the Wang family of Langya.
The Queen Mother looked at her and said, "The Ai family asked Your Majesty to let you out, not to cause trouble for you."
"You should understand why Mrs. Zhao sent you to the palace. After so many years, it's time for you to find a way to have a child." The Queen Mother looked at her seriously.
When Concubine Zhao Shu heard this, she lowered her head silently.
She really wanted to give birth, but how could she give birth alone?
How could she have the nerve to tell others that in fact, for so many years since she had been in the palace, His Majesty had not even touched her with a finger?
Concubine Zhao Shu didn't dare to tell anyone, mainly because she lost face.
She was a dignified concubine, and her aunt was the current Queen Mother. However, His Majesty had never slept with her in all the years she had been in the palace. How dare she let others know?
How embarrassing would she be if Concubine Li Guifei, Concubine Liu Xian, and other concubines who were not dealing with her knew that she had never slept with His Majesty?
She didn't want to tell anyone.
So the Queen Mother's words about giving birth now made her feel guilty.
The Queen Mother looked at her silent expression and frowned, "Okay, who are you showing this to? Are you trying to hurt your family?"
"No, no..." Concubine Zhao Shu quickly explained that she had no intention of being hostile to her aunt. This person was her golden thigh and her biggest supporter. How could she dare to make her unhappy?
"Concubine Li has already gone to deliver soup to the emperor today...but the Ai family can let him come to Cining Palace to accompany the Ai family for meals."
The Queen Mother fiddled with the lid of the tea cup and said calmly, "Yin Yin, that's all the Ai family can help you. Don't let the Ai family down."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhao Shu raised her head with surprise and said, "Your Majesty, are you coming to Cining Palace for dinner?"
After being happy, Concubine Zhao Shu was worried, "Aunt, if your Majesty really gets married to your niece...in Cining Palace..."
Would it be bad for the Queen Mother's reputation if she did such a thing in Cining Palace?
The Queen Mother's expression was calm and indifferent.
She really didn't care. She had experienced it a lot, so of course she wouldn't find such a thing so embarrassing.
As long as Concubine Shu can conceive the emperor's child, give birth to the emperor's eldest son, and give the Zhao family a reason to support her as the queen, it is enough.
The glory of the Zhao family will definitely reappear. She will be able to protect the glory of the Zhao family for several generations and will not be cut off easily.
With the Empress Dowager's permission, Concubine Zhao Shu was looking forward to today's dinner even more.
She will definitely work hard to make His Majesty like her and give birth to His Majesty's eldest son.
She must obtain the position of queen and the position of queen mother in the future.
Many people in the harem were looking forward to what Concubine Zhao Shu would do, but they did not hear the news that Concubine Zhao Shu was in trouble with the new beauty Shu. Instead, they heard the news that the Queen Mother invited her Majesty to have a meal at Cining Palace.
At this time, Concubine Shu was still in Cining Palace.

That's it!
The Queen Mother and Concubine Shu actually had such a plan!
