[Red Mansion] Mrs. Lin, the Buddhist family

Concubine Qiao was reclining on the couch with a smile on her lips, her eyes were gentle and indifferent, she was lazy and casual, she seemed to have completely ignored the group of women in her palace.

Even if these women are her enemies in the harem, rivals for favor.

A trace of jealousy flashed in the eyes of Concubine Wen who was sitting at the bottom, thinking that when she just entered the palace, because she admired Concubine Qiao's reputation, she wanted to join the concubine's banner before she was favored, but she was mercilessly slapped by her after she tried a few words. reject.Although Concubine Qiao spoke properly at that time and did not say anything that would embarrass her, Concubine Wen had lived under the hands of her aunt since she was a child, so how could she not know that the other party was not paying attention under the mask of gentleness?

Thinking that he has been favored one after another in recent days, and that he is already the number one favorite person in the harem, his thoughts are inevitably floating, and he wants to try to knock down the high-ranking Concubine Qiao in the past, so that she can also taste what it feels like to be despised by others.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said: "Since my sister entered the palace, I have always admired the beauty of the imperial concubine, but it is a pity that I rarely see her. Now that I see her, I feel that my reputation is well-deserved. Thinking about the emperor talking about my sister with my sister a few days ago, it is also true." She doesn't hesitate to praise her, she always says that my sister is virtuous and dignified, it really makes people jealous."

The little concubine who came with Concubine Wen was almost dumbfounded by her.These words sounded like saying that even though the emperor was resting at Concubine Wen's place, he did not forget the imperial concubine, and he really had a deep affection for her.However, I don't want to see how long Emperor Chengtian hasn't favored the noble concubine——

Ever since the emperor ascended the throne, no, even when he was still in the residence, Emperor Chengtian no longer visits the noble concubines and the elders in the residence, and even sometimes goes to the palaces of these high-ranking concubines, just drinking tea and chatting, never staying overnight .On the contrary, they are a group of newcomers who have been drafted into the palace since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne, and they have been favored by the emperor many times, and among them, Concubine Wen is the most favored.

However, these words came from Concubine Wen's mouth, and she also specifically mentioned that it was "a few days ago".

——This is simply poking at the lungs of the imperial concubine.

The concubine thought in her heart that if she was in the position of a noble concubine, she might have to take her down on the spot and punish her for disrespect.If she has a bad temper, it is possible for her to be slapped directly.

She watched the imperial concubine carefully, lest the imperial concubine's anger would implicate her, a little shrimp.

However, the imperial concubine just raised her eyelids, her eyes didn't even fall on Concubine Wen, she just closed her eyes and began to rest her mind, with only the corners of her mouth raised slightly, with a hint of sarcasm.

However, it was her gesture that made Wen Bin the most angry: "My sister didn't say anything, but what did my sister say wrong? Or is it that my sister... doesn't like the emperor's compliments?"

As soon as these words fell, Concubine Qiao's eyes really fell on Concubine Wen.

That gaze was a little cold, but also a little indescribably pitiful...

Concubine Wen panicked and opened her mouth to speak, but Concubine Qiao said sweetly, "What Concubine Wen said really made me ashamed..."

"Although the Holy Majesty never forgets me when Concubine Wen is there, it really makes me jump with joy. I wish I could see Long Live immediately, to express my gratitude to my concubines... But words such as virtuous and dignified, I think the emperor would not put them in my heart." Gong. I really can’t bear these words.”

Is this alluding to Concubine Wen's false preaching of the holy will?

The other concubines present shuddered unanimously, thinking inwardly, the noble concubine's tricks are really good, and she is very ruthless, with one hit, she is about to knock Concubine Wen's recently rising "favorite concubine" into the dust...

Concubine Wen was sweating coldly on her forehead, and hurriedly wanted to explain.

Concubine Qiao interrupted in a calm and unhurried manner: "Besides, I privately think that Concubine De is a model in the harem, and she and the Holy One supported each other when they were in the hidden residence, and their qualities of virtuousness and virtuousness are far superior to mine. .”

After she finished speaking, Concubine Wen seized the opportunity to speak in a panic: "What Your Majesty said is that Concubine De is dignified and virtuous, with outstanding virtues, and she and the emperor are husband and wife with sons and daughters. They have experienced a lot together and never let up. They comfort the emperor's backyard..."

Speaking of this, Concubine Wen was terrified when she saw Concubine Qiao's half-smile eyes, and became dumb again.

She had forgotten that even though Concubine De was the emperor's original match, she was nothing more than Concubine De now, and her status was not even as good as the smiling concubine in front of her.

Even if Concubine De still holds the power in the harem, the highest status in the harem today is Concubine Qiao.

In today's harem, the concubine De, who has no favor and no children, is in power, the noble concubine with only one son has the highest status, and concubine Shu, who has three sons and two daughters, is the high-ranking concubine in the harem who is most favored by the emperor.

It's better to be a three-legged confrontation.

That being the case, how can a "virtuous and virtuous" not be placed on the noble concubine?

Wen Bin immediately let go of the tension all over her body, as if she had swayed from the gate of hell, full of fear.

Concubine Qiao leaned on the cushion, listening with a smile on the corner of her mouth as Concubine Wen praised the former concubine and concubine De now and again, and praised the love of the empress over and over again. She couldn't help thinking in her heart. , Concubine Wen came from a humble background, these compliments should have exhausted her memory, right?

Really pitiful and exasperating.

With such a fighting power, who gave her the courage to run to her to show off her might?She also thought that she dared to use the emperor as a raft, and that the "loved concubine" who saw her jokes could at least fight her for a hundred and eight rounds.

Thinking of this, Concubine Qiao just felt bored.

But after this incident, Concubine Qiao's original good mood was not much left, so she simply got up and went to Wen Concubine's place: "Sister Wen Concubine, if you want to chat with Bengong again in the future, please find someone to talk to in advance. Don't be like today, just a few sentences..."

She put her right hand lightly on Wen Bin's body, her eyes rolled down, "Tsk..."

Concubine Wen's face turned pale from fright, thinking about the situation just now, she didn't dare to do anything wrong.

Concubine Qiao looked at Concubine Wen's delicate and pitiful expression, and suddenly remembered what happened to her when she was still in the Eastern Palace.Considering the age of Emperor Chengtian, I feel that Concubine Wen also played a role.She smiled, and said softly with a somewhat inexplicable meaning: "Sister Wen Concubine, you are favored now, but don't you want to know the reason why you are favored?"

"Think about it, it has been several months since you entered the palace, right? At the beginning, did the emperor notice you? I remember that the emperor seemed to have been in the palace of several beauties for the first few months. Hang around? You never thought about why the emperor suddenly became interested in you?"

"My sister doesn't understand what my sister is talking about..."

"Does Concubine Wen really don't understand or is she pretending not to understand?" She was stunned, "It's true, I forgot that Concubine Wen is not such a sharp-edged person..."

The imperial concubine covered her mouth and chuckled, "An understanding person like my younger sister will definitely worry about my mood, and I don't want to show it off to me."

Concubine Wen's face turned pale, she had no idea what kind of hole Concubine Qiao was going to dig for her, her heart beat like a drum and a hammer.

However, Concubine Qiao's voice sounded like a Sanskrit sound, empty and intimidating: "However, Concubine Wen is not overthinking. When I first heard the news, my heart was indeed sour. By the way, this palace is not as powerful as Concubine Wen. Dongliang's father and brother?"

"I heard that Concubine Wen's father has been promoted to the position of admiral of the Nine Gates? Mr. Wen, because of his insights on water conservancy, was also appointed by the Holy Majesty as the Huzhou inspector. He will take up the post soon?"

Concubine Wen was at a loss at first, and then cold sweat broke out on her forehead: "The imperial concubine..."

Concubine Qiao covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Why did my sister suddenly get up? I still think it's more pleasant for Concubine Wen to call me 'sister'."

Concubine Wen swallowed her saliva, and forced herself to be calm: "Your Majesty has an order, how dare the concubine refuse to obey? I hope your Majesty will not care about my younger sister's abrupt disrespect just now..."

Concubine Qiao raised her plain hand slightly, and her index finger touched Concubine Wen's lips lightly. Her eyebrows and eyes seemed to be smiling, but it made people feel inexplicably cold: "Concubine Wen was joking, you were careful and thoughtful when you spoke just now. How can you care about the disrespect?"

Concubine Wen's lips were pressed against Concubine Qiao's, and she was forced to meet Concubine Qiao's eyes, and was stabbed by the flash of sympathy and contempt in her eyes.She was already taboo about being rejected by Concubine Qiao when her status was low and unfavored, but now that she meets Concubine Qiao's eyes, the anger in her heart almost rises again.

But before she had time to speak, she remembered her father and brother's earnest advice before she entered the palace. In order not to hurt her father and brother, she could only grit her teeth secretly and swallow this breath.

These days, Emperor Chengtian has favored many beautiful women, no matter whether the reason for his favor is because the appearance and figure of the beautiful women are in line with the preferences of Emperor Chengtian, or there are other reasons, but only Concubine Wen has grown up from a small and unranked beautiful woman. Jumping repeatedly, the old man squeezed down the Qiandi and became one of the six concubines. This is enough to show that Concubine Wen is not an empty-headed idiot at least.

She naturally understood the meaning of Concubine Qiao's words.

As a woman, Concubine Wen naturally didn't want to believe that she was just a pure tool used by the emperor to balance the front and harem, but if she didn't believe in Concubine Qiao at all, it would appear that she was too overconfident.How she looks, no one knows better than herself——

Otherwise, she wouldn't have just entered the palace, and she just wanted to hug Concubine Qiao's thigh.

Therefore, facing the threat and warning hidden in Concubine Qiao's words, Concubine Wen did not dare to confront her.Yes, her father and brother are being used by the emperor these days, but they don't look at the meritorious families behind Qiao Guifei and other old people in the hidden residence, how many people in their family are useful in the court.

Gaining power for a while does not mean always gaining power. The court is no better than the harem. It is not just relying on the emperor's favor that one can rise to the top and become powerful.

When it comes to her own family, Wen Bin's brain is still very useful.

Concubine Wen lowered her eyelids, avoiding Concubine Qiao's scrutiny and scrutiny, and forced a smile from the corner of her mouth: "Your Majesty is really gentle and magnanimous, and my concubine is really happy. I will definitely sit in the Empress's Hall often in the future. I hope your Majesty will not mind it." It's only the courtiers and concubines who are disturbing."

This is surrender.

The goal was easily achieved, but Concubine Qiao was not happy for some reason.She stared at Wen Bin, the smile in her eyes gradually dissipated, and she let out a "sneer" after a long while: "It's boring..."

Where is this?

Thinking back when I first entered the Eastern Palace, I won the favor of the emperor with my beautiful face and capable natal family. I was unmatched in the limelight in the Eastern Palace for a while, just like Concubine Wen is now rampant when she gains power, trying to provoke high-ranking concubines.

But her heart was bigger, and she directly confronted the Crown Princess at that time, and now the Concubine De.

Whoever let the princess accept the gift with dignity, almost engraved the rules into her bones, even in front of the emperor, she always appeared as a "virtuous wife" and always said something that made the emperor angry, so that apart from her status, she had no love, even To attract the emperor's dislike?At that time, not only her, but even the current concubine Shu thought that the status of the crown princess was worrying, and she would be abolished sooner or later?

Who would have thought that a moment of daring to commit a crime would be taught to be a man by the princess——

In the Eastern Palace, she was taught to behave according to the rules, and she was restrained everywhere. Even if the emperor's favor remained as usual, her situation in the Eastern Palace was still like walking on eggshells.What's even more frightening is that the Crown Princess took the opportunity to "kindly" teach her one thing. In the palace, no matter how much a husband loves you, it is not as reliable as a capable natal family.

If your natal family is stable, even if the emperor doesn't like you, he will spoil you;

Concubine Shu acted more cautiously, even if she was provocative, she did it step by step, and did not touch the queen's bottom line; she was more arrogant, so not only she was taught a lesson, but her natal family was almost destroyed.

If the Crown Princess hadn't seen through the crisis behind the emperor's flowers and brocades at that time, and gently let her natal family go at the last moment, the Qiao family might not have waited to participate in the seizure of the heir apparent, and would have been thrown into the dust by the Shi family.But without a backer, the emperor's supreme honor and favor may be a life-threatening poison or medicine to her, and it will kill her at some point.

After this incident, not only her, but even Concubine Shu, who was second only to her in honor and favor at that time, was taken aback. Even if she became jealous again, she would not dare to tease the tiger's beard lightly——

It was also at that time that they understood why the Crown Princess had no favor and no children in the East Palace, and she was still able to secure her position as the Crown Princess. Not only the Supreme Emperor and others who admired her in the palace, but even the Emperor who disliked the Crown Princess, It never occurred to her to let other people take the seat of the crown princess.

Because of the "kind advice" of the Crown Princess, she and Concubine Shu didn't only focus on the three-acre land in the harem.

But even if the two of them learned how to be good, they could join forces to fight the concubine who had no favor and no children. She would still hate what happened back then.

Especially now that there are three pillars in the harem, it seems that she has the highest status and has taken advantage of it, but the one who really holds the real power is still the Crown Princess back then, and now the Concubine De is still overwhelmed by her.

The emperor is really ruthless.

It's a pity that there were not many people in the East Palace when the incident happened, and so few people knew about it, so that now some people dare to use the methods she was taught to be a human being to provoke her.

If it weren't for the emperor's age, these little concubines would not have much influence on the previous dynasty even if they were favored again. Even if they gave birth to a child, they would not be able to participate in the seizure of the heir apparent. Instead, they could restrain the emperor and bring some points to her son if they were drawn in. Help, when the water conservancy issue is settled, she will be like the queen in the past, teaching her what is the real reliance of a harem woman with facts, so that she has no place to cry.

"That's stupid enough." Concubine Qiao cursed in a low voice.

Concubine Qiao put her hand on the palm of the grand lady next to her, and walked back to her position gracefully, with a flash of self-mockery in her eyes.It's a pity that she is too sharp at this time, no one dares to look at her, and naturally no one sees her.

-

Standing at the gate of Concubine Qiao's palace, Emperor Chengtian almost doubted what he had just heard.

It is true that when Concubine Qiao said these words, her tone was as calm as usual, and it seemed that there was nothing worth caring about.In normal times, Emperor Chengtian might have ignored it like that, but on the contrary, Emperor Chengtian was stimulated by the eldest princess, so he hugged him a little bit, "I want to see what the eldest princess said is quite capable What kind of abilities does the imperial concubine have?" I happened to hear Concubine Qiao mentioning Concubine Wen's father and brother again...

To be honest, when the women in the harem are chatting, you come and go, even if you are in the center of the flames of war, Cheng Tiandi, a big pig's hoof, can't understand at all. For example, sometimes a concubine is praised by another concubine's clothes Looks good, or one concubine praised another concubine's makeup, and the concubine who was praised suddenly changed her face, turned her head and looked at herself with tears, as if she had been wronged by the sky...

Emperor Chengtian is at a loss, okay?Not only did he not understand at all, he also felt inexplicable.And what is the intention of you playing your own game and trying to drag him into the water as well?He was very busy all day long, but he didn't have time to fight "justice" for a group of women who were full and had nothing to do.

Not only did he not want to uphold justice, but he also wanted to leave the two concubines to the most disciplined concubine De to tune, teach, teach——

Being a good person, but not speaking human words, really makes people irritable.

Fortunately, he also suffered a lot in Qisheng Emperor's harem. Even if he didn't understand, he still roughly knew what they were talking about, and he didn't really get angry with those women.

But once it comes to the previous dynasty, Emperor Chengtian's mind immediately clears up.Even though the imperial concubine still took many turns in her speech, he accurately put forward the information he wanted——

The imperial concubine could see that the reason Concubine Wen was favored recently was because he wanted to use his father and brother again.

Although the transfer of Wen Bin's father and brother has been ordered, and many people in the former court officials have seen his purpose, but they can be 100% sure, only those three or two have been with him for decades and know his temperament deeply. The minister of the brachio.

The noble concubine could even see that among Wen Bin's father and brother, she valued the young brother Wen Bin more.

Emperor Chengtian's eyes were sharp, and he had to admit that the imperial concubine did have some abilities.

Even Concubine Wen, he lost his sight.

Concubine Wen, although Emperor Chengtian favored her one after another in recent days, she still only had an impression of "ordinary but understanding" in Emperor Chengtian's heart. The head can forget people.

Of course, Wen Bin himself's calmness and even a bit of a clever temperament are also one of the reasons why he is willing to lift people up to fight against the old man before.

As for the harem, one family cannot be the only one.

Moreover, Wen Bin's well-placed cleverness made it rare for Emperor Chengtian to truly relax in her palace.

But I didn't expect that he was really blind. The gentle and caring Concubine Wen was a fake. She had only been pampered for a few days, and then she ran to the imperial concubine in a daze to spoil her.

But this is not important to Emperor Chengtian. The important thing is that even Concubine Wen, who he thought was only a little clever, immediately understood the situation between himself and the Wen family under the guidance of the imperial concubine, and decisively replaced his father and brother with a clear-cut stand stood in line.

Emperor Chengtian was still hesitant at first, how to arrange for the Wen family father and son to prevent these two truly talented officials from being targeted, but now that Concubine Wen stood in line, it relieved his worries.

But why, he just can't be happy?

The silent eunuch in charge beside Emperor Chengtian cast a careful look at him, and quickly lowered his head.As the person who knows Emperor Chengtian best, he knows what the emperor really thinks in his heart. It is nothing more than because the emperor won the battle for succession. Before the chair under his butt is warm, the imperial concubine starts to win over the Wen family and fight for the throne. idea...

It just hit the emperor's lung tube very precisely.

Although he knew that the imperial concubine was just planning for a rainy day and was not really stupid enough to show her ambition so early, the emperor would not think deeply about the real purpose behind the imperial concubine's actions.

In other words, the noble concubine's luck is really bad, even if the emperor misunderstood another time, it would be better than today...

The eunuch in charge bowed his head and couldn't help but mourn in silence for what happened to Concubine Qiao and the eldest prince she gave birth to in the future.

Seeing that the conversation in Jinhe Palace was about to end, the eunuch in charge couldn't help reminding softly: "Your Majesty, do you want your servant to pass it on?"

Emperor Chengtian closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then simply turned around.

"Pass down my will, let the eldest princess enter the palace immediately!"

After a while, Emperor Chengtian said again: "Come on, let the eldest princess go to court on time tomorrow, and just say that after she goes to court, I will discuss matters with all the ministers."

The author has something to say: Thank you, little smiling angel, for pointing out the bugs, thank you~

I went back and checked, and found that the prototype of the princess originally used the original version of Yinfeng, but the first version was wrongly written, so I said that no matter how I changed it, I felt something was wrong...

Going back and changing the fate of the crown princess, the original concubine who was thrown into the cold palace was changed to only a concubine De, whose status was lower than that of the original side concubine Qiao, but comparable to Concubine Shu.The changed chapters are marked on the content summary, but because the princess has nothing to do with the next plot, it doesn’t matter if the little angels don’t go back and read it, everyone~
