The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 420 Jiao Shu Palace

Ye Xinran roughly understood the whole story, but still felt something was wrong.

She always felt that Concubine Qi was not such a heartless person.

However, for many things, we only see the surface. Who knows what is hidden behind it?

……

When Concubine Qi returned to her residence, a row of palace maids and eunuchs were already waiting there.

When the leading eunuch Su saw Concubine Qi coming back, he immediately greeted her with a smile on his face, "Concubine Qi, the emperor has ordered me to help Concubine Qi move. Please move to Jiaoshu Palace."

"Princess Jiaoshu?" Concubine Qi frowned.

Eunuch Su hurriedly said, "Congratulations, Concubine Qi. This Jiaoshu Palace has been vacant since the late Queen passed away. Concubine Qi is afraid that good things are about to happen."

Concubine Qi did not show the surprise that Eunuch Su had expected. Instead, she said calmly, "I am used to the quietness here. I am afraid I will not be able to get used to living there."

Eunuch Su was anxious, "My Lord, what are you talking about? A wing room in Jiaoshu Palace is bigger than the place here. Isn't it easy to have some quiet time?

The Emperor sympathizes with Concubine Qi's delicate health and specially selected this place for you. Don't you like it, Concubine Qi?

Or is it that Lady Qi dressed up to see the Emperor today not to please him, but for some other purpose?"

Concubine Qi's heart was moved.

I didn't expect that the eunuch could actually see through it.

She smiled lightly, then her expression turned stern: "Eunuch Su, what do you think I am doing if I am not trying to please the emperor?

Could it be because of a rootless thing like you?"

"Slave dare not!"

Eunuch Su bent down, but there was no trace of fear on his face.

He didn't know why Concubine Qi was going through all this trouble. He just said those words just to make her submit.

As expected, Concubine Qi continued, "Then I'll trouble you, sir. I'll pack up my things here and leave with you."

"Why do you need to do it yourself? We servants can move these things. You just need to move."

"it is good."

Concubine Qi didn't say any more to them. She simply packed up and followed the maid to Jiaoshu Palace.

The women in the palace cannot control what is happening outside the palace, but they are very sensitive to what is happening inside the palace.

As soon as Concubine Qi went to Jiaoshu Palace, all the concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards received the news.

"Noble Lady Qi has moved to Jiaoshu Palace?"

"Why should she?"

"Hasn't she been burning incense and praying to Buddha in the cold palace? I thought she had already cleared her mind, but it turns out she was playing a big game of chess!"

"No, we have been fighting for years, serving the emperor and we are so tired that we are old and ugly. Why should she get the advantage in the end?"

Everyone was feeling dissatisfied.

Even the little grudges between them disappeared at this moment, leaving only jealousy and resentment towards Qi Guiren.

"What does Imperial Concubine Shu say? She has always been in charge of the palace affairs, and now she has to watch helplessly as a noble takes her place?"

Concubine Tong was the most annoying of all the concubines.

She entered the palace with Concubine Qi that year, but the emperor favored that little vixen.

Later, when the Xiao family got into trouble, Concubine Qi was implicated and volunteered to pray for the emperor. Concubine Tong was happy about this for a long time.

Over the years, she would occasionally put some trouble on Concubine Qi, and she felt very gratified when she saw Concubine Qi being humiliated but not daring to resist.

However, she was later promoted to the position of imperial concubine, and the rival around her was no longer a useless noblewoman, so she shifted her attention away from Noblewoman Qi.

But now, that little vixen had suddenly turned the tables and actually moved into Jiao Shu Palace.

Where is Jiaoshudian?

Concubine Shu has been acting as the Empress for so many years. She has mentioned to the Emperor several times that she wants to move into the Jiaoshu Palace, but the Emperor has never agreed. Why did he suddenly let Concubine Qi move in?

"Pack up, I'm going to see Concubine Shu!"

Concubine Tong gave instructions to the maid.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shu has been feeling unwell. Didn't she say last time that she wouldn't see guests?" the maid reminded.

"It's already this late, and she's still not feeling well. If she continues like this, even the Phoenix Seal in her hand might be snatched away!

We have worked hard for you all these years, and have been very careful all the time, but in the end, we are going to be bullied by a nobody?"

The maidservant didn't dare to persuade her anymore. She hurriedly recombed Tong Concubine's hair, changed her clothes, and followed Tong Concubine to the palace where Shu Guifei lived.

When they arrived at Concubine Shu's courtyard, they found that someone had already arrived there before them.

Concubine Shu sat at the top, with Concubine Li, Concubine Zhao and five others sitting below her.

When they saw Concubine Tong come in, everyone just glanced at her and ignored her.

"Sister, you have been sick for some time. If you don't come out, the situation outside will be bad." Concubine Li said anxiously.

Concubine Zhao also echoed, "That's right, that noble lady Qi is going to live in Jiaoshu Palace. Isn't that Jiaoshu Palace reserved by the emperor for my sister?

What right does that bitch have to live there?"

"Sister Zhao Fei, be careful with your words."

Concubine Shu had a gloomy expression and still looked very uncomfortable.

"The Jiaoshu Palace was originally the residence of the late queen, and the emperor never told me to move in. As for who can move in, isn't it up to each person's ability?"

Everyone originally came to ask Concubine Shu to make the decision, but they didn't expect her to have this attitude. They were all dumbfounded for a moment.

Tongpin didn't know what they had said before. After hearing what Shu Guifei said, she became a little anxious. "Sister, although that's true, we sisters have always regarded you as the backbone. If it were someone else, we would not accept it!"

"that is!"

"that is!"

Several people responded.

Concubine Shu showed a mocking smile on her face, "Is that really the case? Will everyone be convinced if I move in?

When my son first got into trouble, I heard rumors that several sisters had bad-mouthed me in front of the Emperor!"

After these words were spoken, the faces of the people present all looked a little uncomfortable.

Concubine Shu did not delve into the matter, but said, "I know why you came to me today, it's simply because you are afraid that Concubine Qi will step on you in the future.

But don’t you think about what my identity is now?

My son is still in prison, and I have to be careful even when eating, for fear that something might go wrong.

You came to the wrong person."

Seeing Concubine Shu's attitude, everyone was not as polite as before.

Concubine Zhao said, "Sister, when you say that, it sounds like you want to push me out to block the arrows."

She touched the hairpin on her temple and continued, "Since you don't want to worry about this, I'll put it bluntly.

If my sister defeats this noble lady Qi, please don't blame me for breaking the rules and climbing the ladder to the top."

Concubine Shu laughed and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? We are in the palace based on our own abilities.

There are no rules!"

"Okay! I feel relieved now that my sister said this."

After Zhao Fei finished speaking, she stood up and said to Shu Guifei, "Since you are not feeling well, I will take my leave first."

After saying that, she twisted her waist and walked out without looking back.

The others felt a little embarrassed when they saw this, and for a moment they didn't know whether to leave or stay.

It was Concubine Shu who said, "I have said all that needs to be said. My sisters, please go back."

Everyone then said goodbye.

Concubine Tong walked out of Concubine Shu's courtyard, feeling the breath she was holding in her heart couldn't be released.

"I didn't expect Concubine Shu to be so weak!"

Although the Third Prince's incident had a great impact, the Emperor had not yet taken his anger out on her. Didn't this show how much the Emperor valued her?

Perhaps because of this appreciation, the emperor could show leniency to the third prince, but Concubine Shu actually allowed that little vixen to move into the Jiaoshu Palace.

This is so infuriating!

Concubine Tong decided to wait and see what Concubine Zhao would do.

After everyone left, the tired look on Concubine Shu's face immediately disappeared, replaced by a look that was even more shrewd than before.

"Has Concubine Qi moved in yet?" she asked.

Li Ma, who was serving beside her, stepped forward immediately and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Cui just reported that Concubine Qi has arrived at Jiaoshu Palace.

I originally wanted to move the things from the cold palace here, but the emperor ordered that nothing over there be moved, and that all the things in this courtyard be bought new for Concubine Qi."

"He's really attentive!"

Concubine Shu said with gritted teeth.

“I begged for so long and he didn’t agree, but now he gives it to a noble man so easily.

It seems that the Emperor has never taken me, the Imperial Concubine, seriously from the beginning."

"My lady..."

Nanny Li wanted to comfort her, but Concubine Shu sneered, "That's good, the emperor has completely stopped my thoughts, and I don't have to hesitate anymore.

Madam Li, what did Master Fang say? "

Nanny Li said quickly, "Grandmaster Fang said that everything has been prepared and he is just waiting for the emperor to agree to go hunting in the eastern suburbs.

However, someone mentioned it twice before, but the emperor was not interested, and he hopes that the queen can help persuade him. "

"I see."

Concubine Shu waved her hand and said, "Go, ask Concubine Qi to come see me."

"Yes!"

Nanny Li agreed and immediately sent someone to call Concubine Qi.

Concubine Qi took a long time to come over.

Seeing Imperial Concubine Shu, he was not nervous at all. He bowed slowly and said, "Greetings to Imperial Concubine Shu."

"Be flat."

Imperial Concubine Shu did not want to embarrass her. After giving her a seat, she sent everyone in the room out before she began to speak: "I heard that my sister has been rising rapidly in recent days and has moved into Jiaoshu Palace."

Lady Qi bowed slightly, acting respectful, "I don't think I've risen to the top, I'm just lucky.

The Emperor asked me to move into Jiaoshu Palace, but he didn't say anything about promoting my title. Maybe he'll kick me out after a few days?"

Concubine Shu picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip of tea, "You are self-aware and not as stupid as I thought.

I was afraid that you would forget the agreement you made with Doctor Huo."

After saying this, Concubine Shu kept staring at Concubine Qi's reaction.

She wanted to see surprise and fear on Concubine Qi's face, but to her disappointment, Concubine Qi did not show any of these reactions. She just raised her eyebrows slightly, surprised that Concubine Shu knew about this.

"I thought I was the only one who knew about this, but it turns out that Imperial Doctor Huo also told Imperial Concubine Shu!

So was Concubine Shu also involved?

oops! "

Concubine Qi exaggeratedly covered her mouth with one hand, "If the emperor asks about this, wouldn't I be the lowest-ranking and most incompetent one among them?"

Concubine Shu didn't expect that she would turn the tables and drag herself into the game.

But at this point, these things are not important.

"Since you remember," said Concubine Shu, "then I will remind you not to think that you have turned the tables just because the emperor has shown you some kindness.

As long as Doctor Huo doesn't come out, you won't have a good life. What you have done is enough to make you die a hundred times."

"Your Majesty, have you said so much? Do you want me to voluntarily withdraw from Jiaoshu Palace? But I..."

"I'm not asking you to quit Jiao Shu Palace, but there are other things I need you to do."

Concubine Shu said.
