Chapter 478 A Group of Women
While Helian Yue was having his meal, many concubines from the harem gathered in Gu Qingquan's palace to pay their respects.
But each of them is not in a good spirit.
Everyone knows that Yuxiu Palace was lit last night.
The emperor didn't even attend the morning court this morning.
At this moment, he is still in Yuxiu Palace and has not come out yet...
Even though she had given up on the emperor in the past because he didn't like women and didn't enter the harem, it would have been fine if everyone was like this, but now there is Si Linglong who is different.
The concubines' minds inevitably began to stir again.
[Since Lang Guipin can do it, can they do it too? ]
"It's rare for the Emperor to appoint a new bride during a non-selection period, and this is the first time he stays in the harem. It's a good thing for us sisters in the palace. Why don't we invite the sisters to prepare a feast to celebrate? What do you think, Concubine Quan?"
When one person speaks, others will naturally respond.
"Yes, we concubines all want to hear about the interesting stories of your Majesty's winter hunting this time."
"I heard that the noble Shen whom the emperor appointed this time performed exceptionally well during the winter hunt at Jiuzhu Mountain, which is why he was favored by the emperor. Your Majesty, please tell us about it as well."
Since ancient times, three women make a play, not to mention that there are so many women now.
As the noises became more and more frequent, Gu Qingquan felt the veins on his forehead twitching a few times, and he couldn't help but interrupt them loudly.
"If you want to hear about Ms. Shen, go ask her directly. I don't have any interesting stories here."
When Gu Qingquan opened her mouth, the hall fell silent almost instantly. All that could be heard was her cold and melancholy tone.
"As for setting up a banquet to celebrate, it is even more unnecessary."
Although Gu Qingquan didn't interact with these concubines much on weekdays, it didn't mean that she didn't know why these people gathered here early in the morning.
Concubine Lian has not returned to the palace yet, and she is the only concubine in the palace.
We gathered here early this morning just to see her attitude.
They wanted to see it, but they had to beat around the bush to test it. Gu Qingquan felt annoyed and said it directly.
"You were wrong in what you said just now. It's not the first time that the emperor wanted to stay in the harem, but because Concubine Lang Gui moved into the harem, the emperor wanted to stay in the harem."
“…”
"Your Majesty is the Lord of the Great Abyss, and you have many state affairs to deal with. I don't care what you think, but if I knew that someone was vying for favor and disturbing the Majesty, and thus delayed the affairs of state, I would definitely not let it go easily. Do you understand clearly?"
After a few words, the concubines in the palace fell silent. When they heard her last words, they whispered in agreement.
"Understood."
"The concubines all know."
They are regretting it now.
If they had known that Concubine Quan had a cold and eccentric temper, they should not have placed their hopes on her.
Only at this time did they miss the Concubine Lian who was left in the Huguo Temple.
Even if the other party is actually a little pretentious, they will always be considerate on the surface and never embarrass others, let alone warn them in such a tough attitude not to cause trouble.
Gu Qingquan originally wanted to say that Lang Guipin was also responsible for producing royal heirs, and this matter could not be taken lightly. However, when he thought about the fact that the emperor had spread the news that Lang Guipin was pregnant, in order to prevent others from deliberately targeting her and to reduce her pressure in the harem, he decided not to hold out hope for Lang Guipin in public.
Seeing that the concubines in front of her had obviously listened to her words, she nodded and instructed Xiang Ye beside her, "I haven't congratulated Concubine Langgui on her relocation yesterday. Go to the warehouse and pick out some things she likes and send them to her later."
Gu Qingquan said this in front of all the concubines, and what she said is very thought-provoking.
If a superior wanted to give a gift to a inferior, he would just order something to be sent as a congratulations. But Concubine Quan said, "Pick something she likes and give it to her." This showed her thoughtfulness and closeness, which could not be explained by just being polite according to the rules.
In fact, they all knew Concubine Quan's personality very well, and they knew that she would not try to curry favor with Concubine Lang Gui just for her sake. The fact that she gave such an order could only mean that the two of them had a good relationship!
When the concubines heard yesterday that the Emperor had a tantrum over Concubine Langgui, they knew that the rumors about her falling out of favor were false.
But she didn't expect that after returning from this trip, Concubine Langgui not only still enjoyed the emperor's favor, but also made Concubine Quan treat her differently.
Let's be honest.
They were really jealous.
Why? Concubine Quan is usually so cold to them, but now she is warning and preparing gifts for Concubine Lang Gui. What's so good about Concubine Lang Gui?!
Concubine Tsuen expressed her opinion in front of everyone, and was too lazy to continue dealing with this group of women, so she waved her hand to signal everyone, "Disperse."
She hasn't played with her gun yet today.
The concubines immediately stood up and said goodbye listlessly. However, before they left, Ran Yin hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, there is news from the palace. The emperor has just issued an imperial decree to promote Concubine Lang Gui to the throne."
These words made the concubines who had not yet had the chance to leave almost tremble at their feet, and then they became even more jealous.
Another promotion?!
Si Linglong was only promoted to imperial concubine two months ago!!!
