Chapter 91 There is no fairness in the harem
Xu Jilin saw Cheng Jin shook her head and then did nothing, so she didn't care.
She kept Cheng Jin for so long today just for the sake of going through the motions.
It was her order to release Qu Wanxin, but now Cheng Jin has nodded, so Cheng Jin must not say anything in front of Chu Chengye.
Xu Jilin talked with Cheng Jin for so long, and she has almost gotten to know Cheng Jin.
Although she has an outstanding appearance and is good at speaking to Chu Chengye, it is only temporary.
The palace is not short of beauties, and the emperor is the most fickle and fickle.
How long can Cheng Jin be proud?
Although Cheng Jin said everything to please Xu Jilin, she was too straightforward and didn't seem to have any big plans.
Although Cheng Jin is beautiful, she is really stupid, and is not a big obstacle.
Although Qu Wanxin no longer dares to confront Cheng Jin as before, it can be seen from her eyes that Qu Wanxin hates Cheng Jin very much.
The three of them had their own concerns, so naturally they didn't have much to say. After just a few promises, Xu Jilin let Cheng Jin go back.
"Noble Hui, please stay."
Qu Wanxin pretended to be surprised and timid.
"Although you have been punished for your rebellion against Concubine Rong, there is no one in the Central Palace, and I should teach you the rules."
Qu Wanxin immediately knelt down, "Your Majesty is willing to listen to the Queen Mother's teachings."
Before Cheng Jin left, she saw Xu Jilin and Qu Wanxin in this situation.
Cheng Jin also understood that this was a show for her.
Cheng Jin followed their wishes and even pleaded for Qu Wanxin, then left. After
Cheng Jin left, Xu Jilin asked Qu Wanxin: "What do you think of Concubine Rong?"
Qu Wanxin looked at Cheng Jin's back and gritted her teeth and said: "She is eloquent and hypocritical. If it weren't for her, how could I have been locked up in Qixiu Palace by the emperor for so long?"
"That's because you are stupid!" Xu Jilin interrupted Qu Wanxin mercilessly.
"What is your current position and what is her position? Let alone locking you up, even if she had someone beat you up, what would happen? She just made up an excuse. Do you think the emperor would believe you or her?" "
Then was Concubine Rong bullying me so much before? I was just speaking up for myself." Qu Wanxin said angrily.
"You talk about fairness in the harem? I've been in this harem for decades and have seen all kinds of things. Fairness? It's really a rare thing."
"When I was your age, I had seen people being beaten to death for being wrongly accused in this palace. I've seen people having their tongues pulled out just because they said something wrong. You talk about fairness? Who is fair to in this palace? It's only fair to those with power and influence." "
You framed Concubine Rong and pushed you into the lake, so she should never be able to turn over."
"You are stupid because you trusted someone you shouldn't have trusted. Chuntao is an old lady in the palace. She is so cunning that no one dares to use her. Concubine Rong is simple-minded, so she was pushed into her palace. But you believed her words and fell into her trap."
Qu Wanxin lowered her head, "It's my fault for not thinking it through."
"You have been found out about framing Concubine Rong Gui. She must have been on guard against you. It will be difficult for you to do it again."
Qu Wanxin looked up at Xu Jilin, "Please tell me clearly
, Queen Mother." Xu Jilin sighed, "I know that you and An'er have a deep relationship, but now you are a concubine and he is a prince. You must not meet secretly."
Qu Wanxin was stunned for a moment. If she was not allowed to meet Chu Huaian, how could she develop her feelings with Chu Huaian? How could she ascend to the throne after Chu Huaian ascended the throne if someone else took the throne first?
Qu Wanxin thought to herself that she had figured it out now. If she wanted to live well in this dynasty, she had to ascend to this position below one person and above ten thousand people. No one could hinder her plan.
Since they were meeting secretly, they had to do it secretly and carefully, so that Xu Jilin would not know.
Qu Wanxin hid all these thoughts in her deepest thoughts and nodded to Xu Jilin.
"Yes, I'll remember that."
Xu Jilin said, "But we still need to think of some way to make Concubine Rong lose her favor."
"From Concubine Rong's attitude towards you today, it seems that she doesn't want to make a big deal. She seems to be afraid of you."
Cheng Jin sneered, "She's afraid of me? She's afraid that I'm not terrible enough."
"That's not necessarily true. I don't think Cheng Jin is a scheming person. You go and test Cheng Jin's attitude. If she really doesn't want to quarrel with you, you can use her."
Qu Wanxin listened attentively.
"You invite Cheng Jin to the back garden pond. It's the most secluded place. Ordinary people don't go there. They only do shameful things. I will arrange people there. You just need to lead her there."
Qu Wanxin asked, "What if she doesn't go?"
Xu Jilin said, "If she doesn't go, I will naturally have other ways."
Cheng Jin felt uneasy after returning to Chunhe Palace. She always felt that something was going to happen.
At lunch time, Cheng Jin told Cuizhu in advance, "I don't have a good appetite today. Don't prepare too much."
Cuizhu was used to it. Cheng Jin said that she had a poor appetite every day, but she didn't eat less at lunch time.
However, Cuizhu also noticed that Cheng Jin was not normal today. She asked with some concern: "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell? Why did you only have three bowls for lunch?"
Cheng Jin: "..."
Cheng Jin put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at Cuizhu seriously and asked: "Do you think that if I really have a falling out with Concubine Hui, I have a chance of winning?"
Cuizhu became energetic when she mentioned this. She stood in front of Cheng Jin with sparkling eyes, "Your
Majesty, has you figured it out?" "If it were your servant, there would be no suspense between Your Majesty and Concubine Hui. Your Majesty is a noble concubine and is favored by the Emperor. Concubine Hui is just a noble lady. Even if she is released by the Empress Dowager today, she is not even one-tenth as good as Your Majesty. Your Majesty could kill her a hundred times."
Cheng Jin was embarrassed.
[Do you trust me so much? γ
γTo be honest, it's the exact opposite of what I told you. None of us are a match for Qu Wanxin. Even Chu Chengye fell under Qu Wanxin's spell in the later period. We were abused by her.γ
Cheng Jin looked at Cuizhu's confident expression and didn't want to dampen her morale. She patted Cuizhu on the shoulder and said, "You're right."
With Cheng Jin's affirmation, Cui Zhu became more confident, with a proud rooster posture.
That's right.
She said it wouldn't work before she even tried it, which was a bit too self-deprecating.
In this harem, you can't hide forever. Even if you hide, the swords stabbing at you will not stop.
It's better to fight back.
Cheng Jin was thinking, Ziying came in outside with people pressed.
"Your Majesty, this person is sneaking outside."
The maid struggled and shouted, "Let me go."
"What do you mean sneaky? I'm the intimate maid of Mr. Hui. My master asked me to come here for something."
"How can I say it when you press me like this?"
Ziying didn't let go, "I didn't cover your mouth, why can't you say it?"
