"...Your Majesty, although Concubine Xie is a little confused, Your Majesty is wise--" He would never do such a thing that "harms others and does not benefit himself".

Ah Xian felt the Queen Mother's suppressed anger and hurriedly tried to comfort her softly.

Although she was a slave, she was intelligent.

After twenty or thirty years of ups and downs in this harem, he has already developed a pair of sharp eyes.

Ah Xian can clearly see through certain things——

Concubine Xie is indeed stupid, but the emperor is sober.

At least for now, marrying Princess Ankang to the Xie family will definitely not benefit the emperor.

No, not only will it be of no benefit, it will also trigger conflicts between the Emperor and the Queen Mother.

If you are not careful, you will directly anger the Queen Mother.

Queen Mother Wang was the former emperor's empress, and the legitimate mother who supported the concubine's son to ascend to the throne. She held both the status and the righteousness.

If the new king acts recklessly, the queen mother has the right and ability to dethrone him.

Previously, in order to return power, the Queen Mother had already had some tension with the new king.

But that time the new king was right - when a new king gets married, he should rule the country himself.

No matter how noble the Queen Mother was, she was only the mistress of the Min royal family. She was not the empress and could not monopolize the government in violation of etiquette and laws.

Moreover, the reason why Queen Mother Wang was able to suppress Concubine Xie and become the most honorable woman in the Dajing Dynasty was because of etiquette and law. Queen Mother Wang could not destroy the Great Wall herself.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to return power to the new king.

But Princess Ankang's marriage is, at best, a private matter of the Queen Mother's family, and at worst, a matter of great importance to the royal family's reputation.

Haha, a legitimate princess, the most honorable imperial concubine of the Great Jing Dynasty married a boy who had no family background, no talent, and no moral character. The entire Min royal family will be ashamed.

The most important thing is, now that Ankang is married, what should the other royal princesses do?

There is a difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, and there is an order of superiority and inferiority.

Are we going to let those princesses marry street rogues and beggars?!

Concubine Xie's wishful thinking will not only offend the Queen Mother and her daughter, but will also offend all the concubines in the harem who gave birth to princesses!

"Your Majesty is wise, but Xie Shizhong is his biological mother."

When she mentioned the word "biological mother", a hint of sadness flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes again.

She also has a son.

Her son is also the crown prince of the Dajing Dynasty.

He is so smart, so sensible, but——

If her son had not died and had successfully inherited the throne, she would not have to endure the bullying of a lowly concubine now.

Her Ankang will always be the most honorable princess of the Dajing Dynasty!

Min Huang?

Yes, he is indeed smart and knows how to judge the situation.

However, it was precisely this wisdom and awareness of current affairs that made the Queen Mother even more uneasy.

Such people are prone to turning against you and being ruthless.

Because he will always make the most powerful choice for himself——

Now that Min Huang has just taken power and his foundation is unstable, he naturally has to keep a low profile and be cautious.

He will also restrain his unreliable mother for the sake of his own country.

But once he completely controlled the court and became the emperor with imperial prestige, he might start to "compensate" Xie.

Of course, this process may take several years or even more than ten years.

However, it is always a sharp sword hanging over the Queen Mother's heart.

As a politician, the Queen Mother naturally had to anticipate the worst-case scenario.

She must prepare in advance and never put herself in a passive position.

She couldn't bear to have to live her life according to Xie's wishes for the next few decades!

"Ah Xian, add fuel to the Xie family's fire! I need to let the emperor know how ridiculous his mother is!"

It's just a minor fight now, and it's probably within Min Huang's tolerance.

But if Concubine Xie goes too far and really hurts Min Huang's interests—

Haha, he will only feel pain when the knife cuts himself!

"Yes! I obey your command!"

Ah Xian bent her body and responded softly.

The master and servant have been together for twenty or thirty years and have already developed a tacit understanding.

There is no need to be too blunt, both parties understand what each other means.

…

"Ouch, my heart hurts!"

"It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

"Ah, woe to me, I've endured more than twenty years of toil in this shameful harem, finally seeing my son become emperor and marry a noble wife, yet in the end, I'm still just a lowly concubine!"

"Emperor, why didn't you take me with you when you left? If I stay in this palace, not only will I be bullied, but I will also make Jiulang upset!"

On the bed, a beautiful middle-aged woman in her thirties or forties, with her hair loose and a headband tied around her neck, was howling at the top of her lungs.

Really howling.

I cried for a long time, but not a single tear fell.

Gu Qingcheng: ...bad review!

You don't even know how to cheat, at least you can get a handkerchief that has the ginger juice.

Of course, this kind of low-level operation is specifically aimed at palace fighting rookies like Concubine Xie.

For example, a big shot in the government like Gu Qingcheng doesn’t need any props at all.

Her acting skills have long been superb and back to nature. As long as she wants, she doesn't need any tools, and the tears will come naturally.

Ginger handkerchief?

Well, he is a veteran in palace fighting and house fighting novels.

However, in the real backyard and harem, ginger handkerchief is the lowest level practice.

Because when a goose passes by, it leaves a sound; when something happens, it leaves a trace. As long as you cheat, you will leave loopholes.

Ginger juice and the like have their own flavor.

Just take the handkerchief and smell it, and you will know immediately whether it is a human or a ghost.

The highest level of acting is that others know you are acting, but they can't see any flaws, and they can't find any evidence afterwards!
