Even Concubine Qi had come, so Xie Yaoqing didn't need to wait for Feng Ning to come back with news to roughly confirm that the matter of disbanding the harem was indeed true.
There was no reason for this. What on earth was wrong with Xiao Chengxu? Why did he make such a fuss? Was it because he had nothing better to do? Xie Yaoqing secretly complained in her heart.
Xie Yaoqing ignored Concubine Qi and asked calmly, "So you came to me to ask me to do something? To ask me to persuade the emperor?"
"I cannot be the emperor's master. I'm afraid you have found the wrong person. You should go to the emperor."
The concubines looked at each other with embarrassment.
They simply don't have the courage to go to the emperor.
Compared to the moody and unpredictable emperor, the queen is obviously easier to get along with, although she is not a very kind person either.
Moreover, even if they really went to ask for an audience with the emperor, they might not be able to get the chance to see him. The emperor was already dismissive and indifferent to them, and it was often difficult for them to see him for ten days or half a month. How could the emperor be willing to see them?
After much thought, the only option is to go to the Queen's Kunning Palace.
Xie Yaoqing saw it all and couldn't help but sneer.
In the final analysis, he was just a bully who was afraid of the strong and bullied the weak. He didn't dare to confront Xiao Chengxu because he couldn't bear the emperor's wrath, so he set his sights on her.
"I have never heard that the emperor has issued an order to disband the harem. Let's all disperse."
Xie Yaoqing was impatient to bring trouble upon himself.
Who said you want to disband the harem? Can't you just find someone to do it?
It was Xiao Chengxu's harem that needed to be disbanded, not hers, so what did it have to do with her?
It was obvious that Xie Yaoqing didn't care anymore, but in the eyes of many concubines, she was just doing things perfunctorily and shirking responsibility.
Although it was the emperor who ordered the disbanding of the harem, how could it be that it had nothing to do with the empress? The empress must have been narrow-minded, too jealous, and intolerant, so she instigated the emperor to disband them from the palace.
I didn't expect the queen to be so narrow-minded. Her tolerance was too small, even smaller than the eye of a needle. Since the moment they entered the palace, which one of them had ever had the opportunity to be close to the emperor, serve the monarch, and receive grace? In name, it sounds pretty good, becoming the emperor's woman... But in reality, they are still virgins, just like widows. They all live such a miserable life, and they live carefully under the queen, but the queen still can't tolerate them. Throughout history, there has never been a more stingy person than the queen today.
Some concubines were dissatisfied and looked resentful.
"Your Majesty, you sound so relaxed when you say this, but I have nowhere else to turn to. I can only beg you, Your Majesty."
"The Emperor and the Empress have a deep love for each other. Your Majesty, you and the current Emperor were married in your youth. This love is known to everyone in the world. Since I entered the palace, I have been very cautious and never dared to compete with you for your favor. I don't know why you treat me like this. I swear that I will never compete with you for anything. Why do you have to kill us all? It's so inhumane."
"Your Highness is from a prominent family. You should know that as the principal wife, you should be virtuous. Looking at the entire capital, is there any other mistress who can be like your Highness? She is very cautious and never gives others any chance to gain favor."
……
Although some people knew that sending all the concubines out of the palace might be Xiao Chengxu's will, how could they be willing to admit it? So, they had to find an excuse, and this excuse was Xie Yaoqing.
If the Queen had not been jealous, why would the Emperor have driven them out of the palace?
Hearing the sarcastic remarks of some concubines, Xie Yaoqing's eyes gradually turned cold.
Concubine Qi smiled smugly, and took the opportunity to fan the flames, gloating: "Empress, you are the head of the six palaces. Now that many sisters are in trouble, you can't stand by and watch, otherwise, won't it make the sisters feel disheartened?"
"Your Highness is different from ordinary concubines like me. You are a person who can speak in front of the emperor. The emperor has always listened to your words and obeyed you. As long as you open your mouth, is there anything that cannot be solved? It's just a matter of talking. Why can't your Highness do something convenient?"
These words simply put Xie Yaoqing on a very high position, as if it was very easy to change the mind of a king. If Xie Yaoqing did not persuade Xiao Chengxu to take back his decision, then she would be a heartless person, and it would be confirmed that the idea of disbanding the harem came from her.
Facing Concubine Qi's words, Xie Yaoqing simply glanced at her indifferently, but the contempt in her eyes was self-evident.
"Isn't the imperial concubine the emperor's cousin? How come you can't speak in front of the emperor? Is the so-called childhood sweetheart relationship between you all fake? It turns out it's nothing more than that. But I am really curious. The emperor has lived in the palace since he was a child, while the Qi family is far away from the palace walls. How can a young man in his dancing spoon age and a young and ignorant girl be considered childhood sweethearts?"
Concubine Qi and Xiao Chengxu were nine years apart in age. I don't know where she got the confidence from, she dared to claim that she and Xiao Chengxu were childhood sweethearts. They rarely saw each other throughout the year, but she had the nerve to spread the word that they were childhood sweethearts. It was ridiculous. They were cousins, but they were definitely not childhood sweethearts. Concubine Qi was overestimating herself, and she was so proud of herself.
Xie Yaoqing would touch people's sore spots. What Concubine Qi cared about most was the relationship between her and the emperor. The only thing that made her proud was the words "childhood sweethearts". But if these words were gone, Concubine Qi would have nothing to be proud of.
If you dream for too long, you will have an illusion that it is real. It is time for Concubine Qi to wake up from her beautiful dream.
The beautiful feelings of childhood sweethearts do not exist at all. It is just her wishful fantasy.
As expected, Concubine Qi's face turned extremely ugly in an instant. It first turned red, then turned black, and finally turned blue. That beautiful but distorted face was really hard to compliment. When Xie Yaoqing saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
She gave Concubine Qi such a big face, relying on the support of the Queen Mother and the fact that she was Xiao Chengxu's cousin, she was arrogant and domineering. Now that the Queen Mother was "sick" and was recuperating in the Cining Palace, she had lost her biggest backer, but Concubine Qi dared to be so arrogant in front of her. I really don't know whether to say she was stupid or foolish.
