The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are cheating

Jiang Zhimiao slept soundly, and when he woke up he was told that the concubines in the harem were waiting for him in the side hall.

Jiang Zhimiao was a little confused: "Didn't I say that the greetings were cancelled?"

Zuiyue sighed: "The emperor did order that. However, the concubines said that they feel empty if they can't see the queen for a day. No matter what, they have to see the queen once, so they can feel at ease."

Jiang Zhimiao was in a trance for a moment.

She just realized that she is so charming?

The next moment, Jiang Zhimiao showed a sympathetic expression.

Also.

Yue Lin had health problems, and as the queen, she knew it all. The two of them just chatted under the quilt, and it was quite harmonious.

The other concubines may not be able to tolerate this.

If Yue Lin wants to hide this secret, he cannot go to other people's palaces.

There were no entertainment activities in ancient times, so people could fight with each other for favor as a way to relax.

But given the emperor's situation, they didn't even have a reason to fight.

Isn't this boring?

They probably thought that they might still have a chance to meet the emperor here.

They don’t know that this emperor is completely useless!

Jiang Zhimiao sighed: "Please invite them in."

Zuiyue reminded softly: "Your Majesty is sleeping soundly, I dare not disturb you. It is already noon."

"It's noon?" Jiang Zhimiao suddenly felt guilty.

She hadn't slept in for three months, so today she slept in as a revenge.

"You go and make the arrangements. Just like yesterday, let's hold the banquet directly in Fengyi Palace." Jiang Zhimiao said.

Anyway, these concubines have their own shares, so just ask the imperial kitchen to send them to Fengyi Palace.

Zuiyue then responded and left.

"Your Highness." Yun Xiang waited for Jiang Zhimiao to get up while whispering, "The Queen Mother suddenly summoned Concubine De today."

Jiang Zhimiao raised his eyebrows.

She smiled and said, "The Queen Mother can summon whoever she wants. This is just a small matter."

"Your Highness!" Yunxiang was a little anxious: "Why did the Queen Mother summon you in front of Fengyi Palace when she didn't summon you earlier or later? This clearly shows that she is dissatisfied with you. Your Highness, should you find a way to resolve the misunderstanding between you and the Queen Mother?"

Jiang Zhimiao also understood the Queen Mother's intention, but she just said calmly: "Don't bother."

If it were the original Jiang Zhimiao, he would have been so terrified and confessed his crime after being treated like this by the empress dowager.

But Jiang Zhimiao, who had watched the plot, knew it very clearly.

Three years later, Yue Lin died suddenly. The empress dowager did not feel sad at all. Instead, she was overjoyed and sent someone to inform Yue Hua.

Yue Hua rushed to the palace overnight, and the next day the empress dowager took out Yue Lin's will, which stated that Yue Hua would succeed to the throne.

Yuehua also became the next emperor with full legitimacy.

The Empress Dowager's partiality has reached a point where it is beyond redemption. Jiang Zhimiao even suspects that Yue Lin's death is related to this vegetarian and Buddhist Empress Dowager!

She only knows one thing.

She is Yue Lin's queen, and their fates have been closely linked since the moment they got married.

If she had to choose between Yue Lin and the Queen Mother, that person would definitely be Yue Lin.

Yue Lin obviously didn't like her getting close to the Queen Mother, so why should she get close to her?

The more dissatisfied the Queen Mother was with her, the more Yue Lin felt at ease with her.

As for Concubine De...

Jiang Zhimiao pondered for a moment.

She had no control over what choice Concubine De would make. If she was really instigated by the Queen Mother to go against her, then she would just fight back.

Jiang Zhimiao had just finished packing when Zuiyue came in and reported that Concubine De wanted to meet her alone.

Jiang Zhimiao's eyes moved slightly: "Take her to the main hall, I will be there soon."

Zuiyue agreed.

Yunxiang was a little worried: "My Lady, is this Concubine De here to show off?"

Jiang Zhimiao shook his head: "It shouldn't be that serious. We'll talk about it when we meet."

When Jiang Zhimiao arrived at the main hall, Concubine De was already waiting there.

"Empress De..." Jiang Zhimiao just started.

De Fei's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears fell down: "Your Majesty, I was scared to death today."

Jiang Zhimiao was stunned and subconsciously handed over a handkerchief.

De Fei wiped her tears and said aggrievedly, "Today, the Queen Mother suddenly summoned me and said some inexplicable words. It seemed that she was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother and wanted to promote me."

The corners of Jiang Zhimiao's lips twitched.

This Defei is said to be the daughter of a general, but isn’t the word “tiger” a bit too much?

Can you say this kind of thing in front of yourself?

Jiang Zhimiao didn't know how to react for a moment, and just said dryly: "The Queen Mother praises you, which is a good thing."

"Good news? Let's give this good news to someone else!" Defei suddenly became excited. She looked at Jiang Zhimiao pitifully and said, "Empress, I know that once this happens, there will be many rumors outside. But please believe me, I only have you in my heart. The words of the Queen Mother will go in one ear and out the other. I will not take a word of them to heart. My loyalty to you is known by the heavens and the earth, and the sun and the moon! If you don't believe me, I will swear..."

As she said this, she was about to swear.

Jiang Zhimiao was shocked for a moment, and she quickly said, "No need to do this, Concubine De."

"Your Highness!" Concubine De looked at Jiang Zhimiao eagerly, "I am convinced by your Highness and have no second thoughts."

She looked extremely sincere, and Jiang Zhimiao was helpless: "I already know your feelings."

De Fei's eyes suddenly lit up. She suddenly came over and lowered her voice: "If your majesty needs anything, I can also deal with it at the Queen Mother's place. If the Queen Mother has any actions, it will be better to inform your majesty in advance."

This is taking the initiative to be a spy for Jiang Zhimiao.

Jiang Zhimiao was a little horrified: "No need, no need."

It’s not that her moral bottom line is so high, but if Concubine De goes to be a spy, she will be discovered in an instant.

De Fei immediately showed a touched expression: "Before I entered the palace, I volunteered to be a bait to lure the enemy troops deeper. My father's expression at that time was exactly the same as yours. It can be seen that yours truly loves me as much as my father does."

Jiang Zhimiao: “…”

I can't say how much I love her.

But she completely empathized with General Yue's feelings when he said this.

Seeing that Defei was extremely moved, Jiang Zhimiao could only comfort her with kind words. After Defei finally controlled her emotions, Jiang Zhimiao went with her to meet the other concubines.

Practice makes perfect. Zuiyue had already arranged lunch skillfully. As soon as Jiang Zhimiao arrived, exquisite dishes were served one after another.

"Your Majesty." Chen Shuyi said with a worried look on her face, "Eunuch Li said that Your Majesty was not feeling well. Is Your Majesty feeling better now?"

Jiang Zhimiao was a little embarrassed: "It's okay. I slept a little longer and I'm almost fine now."

"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself." Concubine Fang said sincerely, "Your Majesty is not well. I am really worried and can't sleep or eat well."

"I am heartbroken and my soul is broken." An Zhaoyi was not willing to be outdone.

"I am in a state of despair and despair, and my life is worse than death!"

"I am so sad that I am broken-hearted and grief-stricken!"

Everyone started to compare with each other for no apparent reason.
