Chapter 194: Shame on you
This time, when they paid respects, Concubine Chun handed over her power, and Chen Qing received this generous gift from her. They were all happy, but the two of them were very happy, and some people were not happy.
The two most embarrassed people in the harem now are Concubine Chen and Lady Sun.
Sun Liangren is the biological mother of the Third Prince. She was originally of noble status, but now not only has she been demoted to a concubine, but the Third Prince is being raised by Concubine Chun, and as his biological mother, she cannot bear to look after him.
Sun Liangren's days of confinement have been extremely miserable. When she was a concubine, she had many servants around her, but now that she has been demoted to a lady, the number of servants has decreased. Jinyun is dead, and now only Meng Yi is left by her side.
Meng Yi didn't want to stay, but he had nowhere to go, mainly because he was beaten with a club and thrown into the toilet.
After this incident, Meng Yi wanted to leave, but no one in the palace wanted him. And if he were to become a eunuch doing odd jobs, Meng Yi couldn't bring himself to do it, so he ended up staying.
Now, Mr. Sun and I really feel like we are dependent on each other.
But Concubine Chen had never slept with the emperor, and she felt even more embarrassed when she saw others doing so. Until today, when Concubine Chun publicly handed over the power to manage the six palaces, she finally saw hope.
So the others paid their respects and left, but she paid her respects and stayed.
The Queen felt good about Concubine Chun's initiative to give up the power to assist in managing the six palaces and to report to the Emperor. But then she saw Concubine Chen stayed.
Although she apparently didn't care about the affairs of the six palaces, she still knew that the emperor did not favor Concubine Chen.
It's funny to say, but the Queen felt disgusted when she looked at Concubine Chen.
Logically speaking, Concubine Chen was from her own family, so she shouldn't hate her. She was born in a formal beauty pageant, so if she had children in the future, they would be Chen's children.
The Chen family can ensure prosperity for two generations by having a queen dowager. Naturally, it can ensure prosperity for another two generations by having a queen like her. However, she wants a child, but the child is not of the Chen family's bloodline. The queen dowager has wanted a child of the Chen family's bloodline for a long time.
But Concubine Chen's attitude was too obvious.
When the Queen had no power, she didn't come to make friends. Now that Concubine Chun has just handed the power back, she stayed.
But at least she got in through a talent show, didn't she? Compared to Chen Mianmian back then, her background was legitimate.
Naturally, Concubine Chen bowed to the Queen, and the two of them naturally did not speak in the front. To show closeness, she walked to the back.
The two walked and talked, and the queen did not intend to exchange pleasantries. She really did not need to exchange pleasantries with Concubine Chen: "I know that your entry into the palace is more difficult than others, but there will always be a day, and the emperor will not leave you alone like this forever."
Although Concubine Chen is being neglected now, it may not be because the emperor feels that there are no good girls in the Chen family. The empress dowager and the emperor are not on good terms, Chen Mianmian has offered herself to the emperor, and the empress has just had the incident of killing the mother and keeping the son. If there is another girl from the Chen family, and the emperor can favor her without any scruples, that would be a problem.
All I can say is that Concubine Chen had an unfortunate time entering the palace and was extremely unlucky. She was selected to enter the palace on the day when the Queen had the incident of killing the mother and leaving the son behind. Wasn't it inevitable that she would be ignored?
Concubine Chen didn't know all this. She only knew that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were not on good terms. But she never expected to hear this from the Queen.
It turns out that the relationship between the two most noble people in the Chen family in the palace is not good.
The reason why Concubine Chen was not favored even though she was the queen was because the queen stood with the queen mother.
Now it seems that is not the case.
Concubine Chen only felt that every step in the harem was difficult.
It was no use begging the Queen. Concubine Chen didn't know what to do. She became a little absent-minded. Naturally, the Queen didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she found an excuse that she was tired and sent her away.
After Jinzhi sent the people out, she saw the queen frowning and said to her, "This noble lady Chen really doesn't know the etiquette."
The Queen said, "Let her be. Once she enters the palace, whether she is favored or not is up to fate. If she has the chance to please the Emperor, that is her own ability. I wish she could be as favored as Concubine Xi."
After all, she is from the Chen family. If she is really favored, she can be freed from her current embarrassing situation.
The Queen knew about it, but she didn't dare to take any action, nor did she dare to mention it in front of Xuanyuan Ling. It was all Xuanyuan Ling who wanted to favor her. The Queen knew that even if she mentioned Concubine Chen, the Emperor would not give her the face to favor her.
It would be good enough if she could get back the right to manage the six palaces, as long as she was still the queen. Besides, at least the fourth prince stayed.
"How is the Fourth Prince doing?"
The Queen has been ill these days, and the Fourth Prince is young and keeps crying, so he naturally cannot disturb the Queen's recuperation, so he has been recuperating in Luhua Palace together with Concubine Li.
Jinzhi said: "Although the fourth prince was born prematurely, he was well nourished in the womb and has no congenital deficiencies. He is in good health. Lady Li loves the child very much and does everything for him personally every day."
The queen sneered and said, "The child is still young and naive, so it's okay for her to take care of him. Let's ask her to come and pay her respects later."
She has already lost too much for this child. If she can't make this child recognize her as his mother from the bottom of his heart and help her in the future, then why should she come here?
Although Li Guiren was still alive and she was raising the child, she didn't dare to threaten Li Guiren. Even if she was not as good as she was before, she could still do it. After all, she was the queen. Could a Guiren rebel in her hands?
After all, the child is under her name.
As expected, Concubine Chun reported to Xuanyuan Ling that she wanted to return the responsibility of assisting in managing the six palaces to the Queen. Even though Xuanyuan Ling was unhappy, since Concubine Chun had mentioned the matter openly and used the excuse that she was sick, he could see that Concubine Chun did not want to offend the Queen and wanted to have some peace and quiet.
In fact, he was really reluctant to give the power of assisting in managing the six palaces to the Queen. But now, among all the people in the palace, if it wasn't Concubine Chun, would it be given to Concubine Yu or Concubine Ru?
Neither is appropriate. Xuanyuan Ling didn't think of asking Chen Qing to take care of her. In Xuanyuan Ling's heart, although Chen Qing is smart, she is just a delicate baby and should be protected and pampered. If she gets involved in this matter, it will easily attract people's attention. He doesn't want Chen Qing to be tired, nor does he want her to be noticed by others. Now that she is favored, it is enough to attract people.
However, he was not happy for a while. If he had not punished the Queen at the beginning, he knew that one day he would have to give the Queen the power to assist in managing the six palaces. Of course, he could not give it for free, so he sent a ruler along with the reward.
The reward was meant to appease the queen, but the queen only saw the ruler. The moment she saw the ruler, her face turned very bad. Was the emperor telling everyone that she, the queen, had no sense of propriety? Was he also warning her to be more sensible in the future?
The slap was so loud that even if the queen took back her power, she would still be ashamed.
