Chapter 332 Success

The news of Concubine Xi's ascension to the throne shocked not only the government and the people, but also the harem as if it were an earthquake.

In the palace of Concubine De, who had not been seen for a long time, several sets of tea sets were smashed.

Defei clenched her fists in anger, her palms were almost pierced by her nails, "In just one year, she has risen from a little palace maid to the position of Zhaoyi. One day, she will climb over to my throne!"

She swept her arm across, and the tea set she had just changed fell to the ground again.

There was a circle of people kneeling in the hall, and no one dared to speak or step forward to clean up.

Concubine De's chest kept rising and falling. After a long while, she took a deep breath and said, "Dress me up. I have to go see the eldest prince. Hurry up!"

"Yes, yes."

As for Changbok Palace, Shen agreed that it was much more ordinary.

She teased the little princess in her arms with her fingers and glanced at Xiangtan, "Why are you so surprised, Xipin, oh no, Xi Zhaoyi, you are not an ordinary person. Sooner or later, you will soar to the sky. You are just a little Zhaoyi."

Xiangtan was surprised when she heard this, "Master, are you talking about her? Is she going to be made a concubine, or even a noble concubine?"

Concubine Shen said nothing, but just smiled.

"Then, then doesn't that mean we have to suppress the master all the time?"

Although Xiangtan was full of gratitude towards Yunqin, she couldn't help but be objective when it came to her master.

"The master has a little princess, but she has no children yet!"

At this point, a gloom flashed across Concubine Shen's face. Although she had a little princess, she only had a little princess.

After a moment of silence, she said, "I am in such a position now only because of my father and brother, but Xi Zhaoyi is the real emperor's favor, and it is not uncommon to be suppressed by her."

"Don't say such things again. I'm afraid I'll have to rely on her in the future."

These words made Xiangtan feel a little uncomfortable, but looking at her master's face, which still showed no joy or anger, as if she really didn't take this matter seriously, she suppressed her discomfort in her heart.

——

The temporary palace received the news a little later than the palace.

When the empress received the news, she was in her own bedroom. She had been here for five days and had to see the empress dowager almost every day, but the empress dowager either refused to see her or did not give her a chance to speak when she did.

There has been no progress at all in the past few days, and it seems that the Queen Mother has no intention of giving in.

When Lan Ying heard the news, her first reaction was surprise and worry. "The Emperor is too fond of Xi Zhaoyi. Your Majesty, I think we should return to the palace as soon as possible."

However, there was not even a trace of anger or jealousy on the Queen's face because of this matter, and there was even a gleam of light in her eyes.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing her expression, Lan Ying couldn't help but call her.

The queen came to her senses and immediately said to her, "Come on, tell the queen mother what you said. I will cry in front of her."

She said this, but Lanying didn't see any sign of crying on her face. Instead, she looked excited.

Ke Lanying didn't dare to say anything. She just responded and helped her up.

Compared to the Empress Dowager, the news from the Empress Dowager lags behind.

At this time, the news of Yun Qin's promotion had not yet been received, but the Queen Mother did not avoid meeting him this time.

The queen walked to the bed, knelt down, and cried, "Aunt, mother, do you really want to see Qingxue be deprived of the position of queen?"

"What nonsense!"

Although the Queen Mother was extremely angry, she still couldn't bear to be harsh to her. Besides, at this time, who still remembered her? So if the Queen came, she would still be willing to see her.

Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but get angry again.

"Aunt, you may not know this, but because the court officials said that Concubine Xi was a seductive evil star and the second Zhao Zhaoyi, the emperor named her Zhaoyi this morning. I also heard that my father was so angry that he almost fainted in the court."

The Queen cried, "The Emperor is determined to favor this little bitch. Do you really want to see her ride on my head one day?"

"That's great, that's great, you are such a filial son!" The Queen Mother was so angry that her lips were trembling.

The Queen continued, "Before I said that the Emperor would punish the Fang family, but Auntie didn't believe it. Now you see, the Emperor wants to suppress me not only in the front court, but also in the harem. If it really comes to this, the Fang family will have no way out!"

The Queen Mother looked at her coldly, "Do you still want to persuade me to write that stupid edict of apology?"

"Aunt, even if you write now it's probably too late. The Emperor can be said to have won a great victory this time, but the Fang family has lost a lot of help." The Queen said again, wiping her tears.

The Queen Mother did not speak, but continued to look at her coldly. She did not say anything afterwards, but waved her hand to let her go.

She was just paralyzed, not stupid. Didn't she know that the queen was talking nonsense? The Fang family had indeed suffered repeated defeats, but this matter was far from over.

According to my brother's character, his ultimate goal is to make the emperor revoke his order and bring her back to the palace.

The Queen Mother did not see the Queen again for the next two days.

On the morning of the third day, Nanny Sun came to her bedroom and without saying anything, she simply handed an envelope to the empress dowager.

"This is what the Queen wants."

The queen held the envelope in her hand, feeling unreal for a moment, and then said, "Aunt is fine. I want to go see her."

But Madam Sun said, "Your Highness does not need to go. The Queen Mother said that she does not want to see anyone. Please take your things and go back to the palace."

The queen originally wanted to ask if her aunt was angry with her, but when she opened her mouth, no words came out.

Because the answer is yes, it would be strange if the Queen Mother was not angry with her.

What's the difference between what she did this time and being forced?

The queen finally sighed and said to Nanny Sun, "Please ask my aunt to be well. Please take good care of her. I will visit her often."

"I will convey your Majesty's words."

It was hard to tell what was going on, so the queen quickly set off and returned to the palace.

She was not in a hurry to hand the edict of apology to the emperor, but first hugged Zhaoning, whom she hadn't seen for a few days, and then changed her clothes and went to the emperor.

Seeing this confession of guilt, Huo Jinchi couldn't help but show some surprise. He looked up at the empress, but he was thinking of Yun Qin in his heart.

So this was the big thing she was talking about.

He had never asked anyone about the Queen's affairs in the palace, but he never thought it would become such a big deal.

Regardless of how she persuaded the Empress to negotiate with the Queen Mother, the fact that she was more sensitive than his own mind was enough to surprise him.

Huo Jinchi lowered his eyes and glanced at the envelope on the table, then asked the queen, "Is mother okay?"

"Much better than before, but he talks less now," the queen replied in a low voice.

"You've worked hard this time. I'll accept the gift." Huo Jinchi looked at her again, "Don't worry. I promise you that the Fang family will not involve you."

The queen was here for this very sentence, so she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
