The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 264 Hua Guduo

Although she was a noble concubine, it would be a lie to say that she was not curious.

I thought Emperor Yongjia would play Tai Chi with Empress Dowager Dong, but I didn't expect him to say, "When the late Empress was here, she didn't take care of the harem. There's no difference after all these years."

If he refused with righteous indignation, then the Queen Mother Dong could teach him a lesson.

But when he said this, which was not in line with common sense, Empress Dowager Dong was a little choked for a moment and couldn't speak for a long time.

Concubine Ning covered her mouth in the green gauze kitchen, feeling both angry and amused.

It’s just that Emperor Yongjia really speaks like this. He won’t treat you differently just because of who you are.

But from this incident, we can also see that the Empress Dowager Dong and Emperor Yongjia were indeed not in harmony with each other, otherwise they would not have said different things.

But Concubine Ning has always known this.

After Empress Dowager Dong recovered, she said a lot more things in an attempt to impress him.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongjia still responded decisively and did not give in. "I haven't made up my mind yet."

In fact, the Empress Dowager Dong knew that she could not influence him, she just wanted to test the waters. Unfortunately, she didn't get anything out of him, so she could only guess.

Concubine Ning naturally had her own guesses.

That day, Concubine Ning did not listen to the rest of the conversation.

I have been pondering over Emperor Yongjia's words. Although they are brief, they contain a lot of meaning.

There is a huge difference between "I haven't thought about it yet" and "I don't want to".

“Don’t want to” means not wanting to, but “haven’t thought it through” does not mean not wanting to.

Concubine Ning thought that this meant that Emperor Yongjia actually had a candidate in mind, but he just hadn't made up his mind yet.

Emperor Yongjia's words also made Concubine Ning put her mind at ease.

Because there are four concubines in the harem.

If it were an ordinary minister, or if the two empresses dowagers urged them, logically speaking, they should choose someone from here.

But Emperor Yongjia seemed to be saying that the possibility of choosing from among the four of them was not great.

If the person you like is one of these four, then you should have made the decision long ago.

Because among these four people, all of them had children, were not young anymore, and had served Emperor Yongjia for many years.

He knew everything he should know, including the moral character, cultivation, knowledge, etc. that a queen should have. It was impossible for Emperor Yongjia not to be aware of this.

But since he did not choose them, it means that these four people are probably not his candidates.

For a moment, for some reason, Concubine Ning thought of Qin Liuse.

If you ask who is the most favored one in the harem, there is no one else except her.

Qin Liuse herself cannot understand the current Qin Zhaoyi, but others can see it clearly.

Except for not giving birth to a prince, her other treatment was no different from that of the four concubines.

At such a young age, she was able to take charge of the harem. Although Emperor Yongjia asked her to help, it was her job to be in charge, and there was no ambiguity about it.

Because of this, Concubine Ning decided to win over Qin Liuse after some brainstorming.

To be honest, when Concubine Ning first learned that Emperor Yongjia did not consider her, she felt a little sad.

After all, they had been a loving couple for so many years, and they were compatible in every way. Emperor Yongjia treated her very well in bed.

But the most important reason why Concubine Ning was able to stay in the harem for so long and why Emperor Yongjia took the initiative to promote her to concubine was that she was a person who knew how to adapt to the times.

It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes.

This sentence is not only applicable to men, but also to the battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder in the harem.

Because they know the current situation, they will not disobey the emperor's wishes, who holds an absolutely high position in the harem, nor will they try to change his mind.

We go along with him in everything, and whatever he says is what it is.

As long as she had wealth and glory, and had people to serve her, and could live a comfortable life, she could give up on other things.

So after a night of sadness, Concubine Ning finally came to her senses.

As for the deeper reason, which Concubine Ning herself might not have realized, it was that she obeyed Emperor Yongjia from the bottom of her heart and knew that if Emperor Yongjia had his own ideas, no outsider could change them.

So she never tried to change his mind.

However, these matters are quite in-depth and difficult to talk about with others.

Just understand it yourself. Concubine Ning would not say these words to her personal maid.

To prevent them from standing up for her and pushing her to fight for the position of queen, which would only put her in a more passive position, she simply didn't tell them.

Qin Liuse on the other side naturally didn't know that Concubine Ning had met Emperor Yongjia in the Cining Palace, nor did she know that Concubine Ning had so many thoughts in her mind.

But he could not help but feel secretly delighted that Concubine Ning was on his side.

Qin Liuse didn't know why she was so happy. It might be because she liked Concubine Ning very much.

In addition to his dislike for Concubine Xin Shufei and Concubine Li Xianfei, Qin Liuse would be happy as long as she didn't stand with them to deal with him.

-

Princess Changle was dismissed from the harem because of an allergic reaction to accidentally eating peanuts.

Emperor Yongjia kept silent about it and didn't seem to have any intention of finding someone to take the blame.

Even if those concubines were unwilling, they could not question Emperor Yongjia, and could only curse Qin Liuse secretly behind his back.

Qin Liuse thought about it and decided that since Emperor Yongjia was bearing the pressure, it was actually not bad for her to just hide under him and feel relaxed.

So, it is not a lie that if the sky falls, there will always be someone tall to hold it up.

Although this matter has come to an end, Qin Liuse still has something on his mind.

In recent days, several plum trees in the courtyard of Zhaoyang Palace have begun to bloom.

The yard was filled with the cool scent of plum blossoms. Qin Liuse took a deep breath, sniffing the aroma carried into the house by the wind. She sat bored by the window, watching the maids busying around outside.

Just as I was thinking about how to deal with this matter and put it into practice, Emperor Yongjia arrived.

As soon as Emperor Yongjia arrived, Qin Liuse walked towards him, wagging her tail like a kitten.
