Chapter 32 Cao Cairen
"Not likely." Shen Chuliu shook his head.
The Queen doesn't like to use these tricks, and she will probably kill the Second Prince in anger.
Neither of them could explain what was going on, so Yao Baolin went back first.
The next morning, when Zizhu got up and washed up, she came to talk to Shen Chuliu about something.
"Early in the morning, the Queen sent word that Lady Cao and Lady Zhao should switch residences."
When Cao Cairen was still a beauty, she could naturally live alone in Qiu Shui Pavilion. But after she was demoted, she could not receive the emperor alone even if she lived in the pavilion.
But to be honest, how big is the pavilion?
Even if I can't receive the emperor alone, isn't it the same as living alone?
At least you're free, right?
But if Concubine Zhao were to exchange with him now, wouldn't that be like stabbing Concubine Cao in the heart?
"I think that Lady Zhao may not agree." Zizhu smiled and said, "I don't know who is so mean."
Of course he didn't want to, just like Shen Chuliu now. Although he lived in the side pavilion of Cuiyunxuan, it was spacious.
The pavilion is not big, especially since there is no main seat in Changqiu Pavilion, how comfortable is it to live in? But with this change, tsk…
"When Concubine Cao got pregnant, she offended someone. Now she can't do anything even if someone hits her in the face. Although Concubine Zhao has the title of beauty, she has not been favored for many years, so she can only bear it." Shen Chuliu knew what was going on.
This is someone using Concubine Zhao as a raft, just to deal with Concubine Cao.
One is out of favor, the other is out of favor, what else can she do but endure it? But this time, I'm afraid that Concubine Cao has offended another one. Even though Concubine Zhao has no temper, I'm afraid she has also taken out a lot of anger on her.
Even if there is nothing going on in the palace, people are still angry. What about when there is something going on? Tsk, this Concubine Cao has had a harder and harder life since her miscarriage.
"So, when you are proud, you must not be too arrogant." Zi Rui said.
"That's half true." Shen Chuliu stood up: "You should still be arrogant when you need to be arrogant, but remember to use your brain when you are arrogant."
How could the queen agree so readily when someone was instigating her from behind?
Before, Concubine Cao started to commit suicide outside the Queen's Fengzao Palace. Although the Queen didn't care about it, but now that she had the chance, why didn't she slap her?
Poor concubine of low rank, a random slap from the superiors can knock you into the mud.
Cao Cairen was already sad after she had a miscarriage and fell out of favor and was demoted. This time, I'm afraid she will suffer even more.
In Fengzao Palace, Concubine Cao was sitting with a unhappy look on her face.
After He Xiuyi was promoted to Concubine Jin, she did not realize the emperor's intention to ask her to be careful with her words and actions, and she was still a big mouth.
She was the first to sneer: "Speaking of which, it's time for this Cao Cairen to move away. If you are lucky enough to be promoted again one day, just move back."
Yi Chongyuan sneered, "Yes, what Concubine Jin said is true. If one day our Concubine Cao is lucky enough to get pregnant with a dragon fetus, wouldn't she be able to have everything she wants?"
Shen Chuliu just watched the show, thinking that this guy really remembered the grudge of interception.
"Why are you so aggressive!" Cao Cairen gritted her teeth.
"Tsk, Concubine Cao has become more and more irritable since she was demoted. We are one of the nine concubines and one of the imperial concubines, so we still can't say anything to you?" Concubine Jin snorted.
"Forget it, Sister Jinfei, we know the rules. This is Fengzao Palace, how can we just do anything casually?" Yi Chongyuan said with a smile.
At this time, Concubine Feng Shufei and Concubine Yi came outside.
Then the queen came out.
When everyone paid their respects to the Queen and sat down again, the matter of Concubine Cao was temporarily put behind them.
After all, there are too many people who are hated for their promotion this time.
For example, Yi Chongyuan who suddenly became Chongyuan.
Another example is Concubine Ning, who was promoted twice.
In comparison, no one paid attention to Concubine Jin, but at least she had a princess.
For the sake of her children, she should also have a position as a concubine.
But Yi Chongyuan and Ning Jieyu were already favored, and now they have been promoted. How can they not make people jealous? Concubine Feng Shu has always disliked Ning Jieyu, and now she is angry: "Ning Jieyu's clothes are very exquisite. Has she been preparing for promotion for a long time?"
Concubine Ning is wearing a light red skirt today, which looks pretty good.
She stood up slowly. "Although there have been rumors of promotion in the palace for a long time, I don't believe those rumors. As for this dress? It's a coincidence. It's the material that the Queen gave me before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Isn't it just right now? I have to thank the Queen for her good taste."
The queen hummed and did not participate in the battle.
Ning Jieyushi was not someone to be trifled with. This was because Concubine Feng had spread the word early on, but in the end the Queen had to reap the benefits.
Concubine Feng Shu looked unhappy: "The Queen's reward is naturally good, but the Queen doesn't know that you, Concubine Ning, are so sharp-tongued!"
"Sister Shufei, what you said is that when a concubine praises the Empress, how can it be said that I am sharp-tongued? Sister Shufei, do you want to say that I am eloquent? That's not the case." Concubine Ning smiled.
"Okay." The Queen said calmly, "Since you have been promoted, you must serve the Emperor well in the future. If you are in a high position, you must behave like one. Concubine Jin, especially you. You are also a concubine now, and the eldest princess, you must be careful with your words and actions in the future. Set an example for them."
Concubine Jin stepped out and said: "I will follow the Queen's instructions. I will be careful with my words and actions and fulfill my duties in the future."
The queen was also very skillful, and she could slap Concubine Feng Shu in the face every time. She would skip Concubine Feng Shu and Concubine Yi before them, but she would just mention Concubine Jin instead.
If you mention it, Concubine Jin was promoted this time. The two of them could only bear it.
"Well, the time for your enthronement ceremony has not been decided yet. But please do it as soon as possible. If there is anything inappropriate about the residence, just tell me... Oh, look at my memory. Now it is Consort Shu, Consort Yi and Consort Song Zhaoyi who are in charge. Tell them if there is anything."
"Yes, thank you, Her Majesty, for your concern and consideration." Everyone said hurriedly.
The Queen waved her hand and said, "Alright, I am getting more and more restless now. You can all go away. Those who are above beauties, please go with me to the Queen Mother's place."
Yesterday was Mid-Autumn Festival, so it’s right to go today.
After leaving Fengzao Palace, Li Xiaoyi laughed: "Oh, before I entered the palace, I heard how favored Lady Cao was. Why does she look different now that she's here?"
"Xiaoyi, it's Concubine Cao." Li Xiaoyi's maid reminded.
"Oh, look at my memory. She is a talented person, not a beauty." Li Xiaoyi laughed so hard that her body shook.
"Even if I'm just a talent, I'm still higher than a little Yi like you!" Talented Cao was so angry that she was about to die.
"So what? I heard that Concubine Cao made the concubines kneel outside Fengzao Palace. Do you still want to do that today?" Li Xiaoyi still smiled: "If you want to, I dare not say anything."
Cao Cairen's face turned purple with anger.
