Hairpin Phoenix

   Chapter 573 Fighting

   On the second day, the palace stewards went to Yanxi Palace.

   Concubine Meng was born in a general, studied and learned martial arts, and had a bright temperament when she was young. It has been favored for so many years, and it is full of confidence. Facing the crowd, he didn't hesitate at all. In charge of palace affairs, there are also models.

   After the stewards reported their respective responsibilities, Concubine Meng ordered them to be dealt with one by one, and was busy for a long time.

   As soon as the stewards left, Concubine Qin and Concubine Yang came together.

   "Today, I have to congratulate Concubine Meng." Concubine Qin smiled: "In the future, Concubine Meng will worry about everything in the harem. The concubine has prepared a gift, please accept it."

   Yang Concubine smiled and accepted the words: "The concubine also prepared a small gift, it is not respectful, please accept the concubine Meng with a smile."

Concubine Meng smiled reservedly: "The Empress needs to recuperate meticulously, and this palace is only temporarily in charge of the palace affairs. When the Empress recovers, someone must take care of the palace affairs. Even if you send congratulations on some trivial matters, it's too much of a fuss. already."

  Bah!

   Look at this virtue!

   What is frivolous and proud!

   Concubine Qin sighed fiercely in her heart, and her smile became more and more warm and attentive: "There are not many gifts, the key is to show your heart. Niang Niang, don't dislike it."

   Concubine Meng and Concubine Qin have known each other for many years, how could they not know Concubine Qin's careful eyes, glanced at Concubine Qin, who had a sweet belly, and said with a half-smile, "I'm afraid I can't bear your heart."

   Concubine Qin chuckled: "My lady's destiny is both precious and important, and it is rare in the world, so how can she not be able to afford it."

   Concubine Meng covered her mouth with her sleeves and laughed: "Look at your mouth, when you coax someone, it looks like you've smeared it with honey. I couldn't hear it in the past, but now I finally see it."

   You didn't deserve to listen before, who can blame it.

  Concubine Qin didn't blink, and smiled affectionately: "My lady loves to hear it, I'll talk about it every day from now on."

   "That can't be done. The Empress Dowager can't be without you. It's your business to serve the Empress Dowager well."

   Concubine Meng and Concubine Qin were smiling like flowers, arguing with each other. You come and go.

   Yang Concubine sat beside her, unable to speak.

   Before, Concubine Yang didn't take Concubine Meng very seriously. When she entered the palace, Concubine Meng's favor was declining, and she had been proud of her for more than a year. How could she put an outdated concubine in her eyes. Until he stumbled back and forth, he suddenly became sluggish, and he was honest and calm.

   After a while, Zhao Cairen and the others also came to say goodbye

  In the past, only in the Jiaofang Hall, there was such a lively scene.

  Today's Yanxi Palace, concubines and concubines are here, like stars holding the moon. She sat at the top, and she had the demeanor of the middle palace.

  Thinking of this, Concubine Meng's heart was hot like hot coals. However, among the splendid beauties, there was clearly one missing.

  Wang Jieyu never came.

   As soon as she thought of Wang Jieyu, Concubine Meng's mind flashed the scene of yesterday's humiliation outside the Jiaofang Hall, adding a layer of jealousy in her heart.

snort! In the past, Queen Qiao was protecting Wang Jieyu. Now that Queen Qiao is grounded, she can't help herself if she doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to clean up Wang Jieyu.

  …

   Before Concubine Meng came up with an idea to make things difficult, Fanghua Palace sent the palace staff here.

   "Report to Concubine Meng, Empress Jie Yu felt a little cold yesterday and felt a little unwell. She wants to go to the imperial doctor to see a doctor and prescribe it. Please allow the concubine's permission."

   If the concubine wanted to call the imperial physician, she had to be granted. Concubine Meng was in charge of the palace affairs, so Wang Jieyu had to ask to come to Yanxi Palace.

Concubine Meng's eyes flashed, and she opened her mouth and said, "Bengong is right. Also, pass a few words on behalf of Bengong to Wang Jieyu. If you feel unwell, just keep it in the palace, don't walk around randomly, you will get sick when you're sick. Others are bad."

   These words soon reached Wang Jieyu's ears.

   The palace servant who spread the word was indignant at the master: "Mengfei Niangniang is too much. Isn't this to make Niangniang ground? She is only in charge of the palace affairs on behalf of the Queen Niangniang, but she will use Niangniang first to show her prestige!"

  Wang Jieyu said lightly: "I don't plan to go out even if she doesn't shake her majesty."

  Everyone in the palace went to Yanxi Palace to say goodbye, she just pretended to be sick and didn't go. Da Lala went to walk elsewhere, and it was a bit too much. If you want to pretend to be sick, you have to pretend to be sick.

The palace servants felt sorry for the master, and sighed in a low voice: "Mianniang, why is this so hard. Now the queen has eaten and hung up, and the concubine Meng is in the limelight. Everyone goes to the Yanxi Palace to flatter, and the maiden goes to sit and don't speak. That's it."

   "Isn't this just in line with Concubine Meng's wishes?"

  Wang Jieyu didn't take it seriously: "I hate seeing each other, so that's fine."

  The palace staff wanted to say something, and the master said again: "No need to say more, go back and say that I will stay in Fanghua Palace from today, and I will greet Concubine Meng when I get better."

  The palace servants had to respond and run errands again to spread the word.

  So, after Queen Qiao became ill, Wang Jieyu also fell ill.

  Emperor Yongjia was free in the evening and entered the Yanxi Palace to have dinner with Concubine Meng.

Concubine Meng pretended to casually mention Wang Jieyu: "...The Fanghua Palace reported back and forth today that Wang Jieyu is ill. The concubine ordered the imperial doctor to see Wang Jieyu and prescribe a prescription. The emperor will not do it these days. Go to Fanghua Palace, so as not to get sick."

  Wang Jieyu would never think of complaining in front of Emperor Yongjia.

   This intriguing trick between women, Emperor Yongjia didn't take it seriously at all, and said casually, "You can handle this trivial matter."

   Concubine Meng's eyes flashed with joy, and she tentatively said: "Your Majesty, over there in the East Palace, the Crown Princess has been complaining about her illness, do you want to go to another imperial doctor..."

  Emperor Yongjia's face sank, and his dragon eyes swept over.

   Concubine Meng froze in her heart, and immediately changed her words: "My concubine just cares about the Lu family, nothing else."

   "Nothing else is best." Emperor Yongjia's voice was slightly cold: "You do your job well. You don't need to intervene in the affairs of Jiaofang Palace and East Palace."

   Tianjia's face must be taken care of.

   Therefore, no matter how angry Emperor Yongjia was, he did not expose Lu Mingyu's privately leading troops to leave the capital. Everyone just guessed it, and they had to dress up without knowing it.

   Just like Mr. Qiao Ge, after discussing political affairs this afternoon, he only asked Queen Qiao's phoenix body with concern, and never mentioned the crown princess.

  Luo Shangshu also only interceded for Queen Qiao around the corners, praising Queen Qiao for being virtuous and not jealous, saying that Queen Qiao was hard-working for so many years that it was rare to get sick and that she should have a good rest. Not to mention how the Crown Princess.

   Heart is on fire, if Concubine Meng can't lift the pot, how can Emperor Yongjia have a good face!

   Concubine Meng held a sullen breath in her throat, squeezed out a smile and replied, "All the imperial concubines have written down what the emperor said."

   In the past, she was arrogant and self-willed, which the men around her were used to.

   Now, where does she still have this confidence?

   She didn't even care to feel sad for her low-pitched pity, so she picked up the jug again and poured a glass of wine for Emperor Yongjia herself: "My concubine to the emperor."

  Emperor Yongjia nodded slightly and raised his glass to drink.
