Comprehensive film and television: Make trouble before lying down

Today was supposed to be the day for the Sixth Prince's third-day bathing ceremony. Shen Meizhuang was lying on the bed, teasing the little prince beside her. Her face, which should have been happy, was full of guilt.

But this heartless little guy gave her a shameless smile.

Shen Meizhuang pinched his little hand and said, "It's all Mother's fault. Our Xiaoliu's third-day baptism ceremony was cancelled because of a lie told by Mother."

The little guy seemed to feel Shen Meizhuang's emotions. He raised his little hand and patted her face, as if to comfort her. Shen Meizhuang immediately felt her emotions calmed down.

The two of them were together, playing with their little hands and feet, and Xiaoliu was very happy.

At this time, Caiyue reported: "Your Majesty, the eunuch Xiao Xiazi has come to deliver the reward."

Xiao Xiazi bowed across the screen and said, "Your servant, Xiao Xiazi, pays respects to the Concubine Ning.

The Emperor has spoken, "Empress Ning, you have just given birth, so you don't have to kneel to receive the order."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Although he was not there, I still had to say what I needed to say.

Xiao Xiazi then announced the decree, "Empress Ning, you are a person of noble character and well-read. Therefore, you are granted the power to assist in the management of the six palaces.

In addition, the Emperor personally selected several gifts to congratulate the Empress."

The eunuchs who delivered the rewards lined up behind Xiao Xia Zi. The trays were filled with jewelry, rare treasures, and clothes made of Shu brocade, of many varieties and exquisite styles.

Xiao Xiazi gave Caiyue a subtle wink, and Caiyue led the people behind her away on the pretext of collecting them.

After the people left, Xiao Xiazi lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, I just returned from Qingliang Palace. The Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with Concubine Hua's scheme to fake Concubine Wan's pregnancy, so she issued an edict to remove her authority as Assistant to the Six Palaces and demoted her to the rank of Concubine."

She asked why the emperor suddenly granted her the power to assist in managing the six palaces. It turned out that it was the empress dowager's idea.

The Queen Mother saw that the palace was too peaceful and was afraid that people would not start a fight, or she had already realized that the Queen's matter was related to the two of them.

No matter what, this tactic of praising and criticizing is indeed very clever. Given Hua Fei's power-loving nature, who knows how she will make things difficult for her in the future?

Afterwards, Xiao Xiazi continued, "I have one more thing to tell Your Majesty. Yesterday, the Empress Dowager mentioned to the Emperor that she wanted to adopt the Sixth Prince, but the Emperor rejected her idea."

Shen Meizhuang was surprised. The Empress Dowager's adoption was not enough for the two of them, but she also wanted to test the Emperor's bottom line.

The Queen Mother is worthy of being the palace fighting champion of the previous dynasty. If she doesn't take action, it's fine. But once she does, she will have everyone under her control.

Shen Meizhuang sighed: "Thank you for the news, eunuch, and for your help during my delivery.

However, I have nothing good to offer you in return. Is there anything you can ask for, sir?"

Xiao Xiazi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are joking. When Yu Shi bullied me before, it was Your Majesty who helped me. I am grateful, so I want to repay you."

Shen Meizhuang: "Then I thank you again, eunuch. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I will definitely not refuse."

Then he called Caixing to the bedside and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will return to the Qinzheng Palace to report."

Caixing: "This servant will escort you, eunuch. Please come in, eunuch."

When they walked out of the hall, Caixing handed over a purse. Xiao Xiazi wanted to refuse, but Caixing pushed her back.

Cai Xing: "My queen said that Eunuch Su has a very stable position in front of the emperor. Therefore, I can't help him with power for the time being. I can only help him with money.

However, my queen also said that if one day, Eunuch Su did something he shouldn't have done, my queen would also make things easier for Eunuch Xia for his sake."

Xiao Xiazi immediately became excited from the inside out and nodded to express her gratitude.

His master had been quite nice to him over the years and had taken good care of him. He had never oppressed other servants in front of the emperor.

His master had gained a foothold in front of the emperor by guessing his intentions, which he could not compare with.

But he was always worried that his master was obsessed with keeping an eye on Concubine Wan, and he was very worried about this.

This Wan often gets into trouble every other day, and I don’t know how I will be implicated by then.

While walking out, he glanced towards the east side hall a few times. Just as he reached the door, he passed by Zhuxi.

Zhuxi walked into the hall with a smile and stood in front of Shen Meizhuang's bed: "Empress Ning, this old servant is here to congratulate you."

"The Queen Mother was overjoyed to hear that Concubine Ning had given birth to a little prince, but she was also very worried when she heard that the little prince had been poisoned and was weak.

I sent my old servant to look for many precious medicinal herbs, hoping that my little brother would get better soon."

Shen Meizhuang lay on the bed and smiled back at Zhuxi, saying, "I thank the Empress Dowager so much. It's all because of my incompetence that I have to worry about her."

Zhuxi reached out and teased Xiaoliu: "Little prince is so handsome, his eyebrows and eyes look very much like the emperor. The empress dowager will definitely be happy to see him. When the little prince recovers, let the empress dowager take a look."

"I'm getting older and heavier. If I could hear the little prince's laughter every day, I think my body would feel a lot more relaxed."

Shen Meizhuang secretly complained in her heart that at such an old age, instead of enjoying her retirement, she was overestimating her own abilities and wanted to raise a newborn baby.

The elderly have shallow sleep, and children will wake up several times a night, crying and making a fuss, which will make you nervous in a few days. But even so, she did not intend to let the Queen Mother succeed.

Shen Meizhuang: "The Empress Dowager is concerned about this. I will definitely urge the imperial physician to treat Xiaoliu as soon as possible."

Zhuxi: "That's good, old servant, I won't disturb Concubine Ning's rest any longer. I'll take my leave."

Shen Meizhuang nodded and instructed, "Caiyue, go see Aunt Zhuxi off."

Zhuxi raised his hand to stop her: "Just take good care of your queen. I have something else to do, so I won't bother you any more."

After saying that, he walked out, but did not leave Bitong Academy. Instead, he went to the east side hall.

When he left, he also took Zhen Huan with him.

Shen Meizhuang smiled coldly in her heart. Look at this series of arrangements, which clearly arranged the emperor, Concubine Hua and her.

In front of the emperor, he granted her the power of the palace and proposed to adopt a little prince. Isn't this definitely trying to please her?

The emperor is very suspicious and will probably be on guard against her from now on, fearing that she will join forces with the empress dowager to seize power. It would be okay if her son is still young, but if he is older, he will probably be wary of her.

And what about Nian Shilan? Because of General Nian, there is also a layer of concern. The emperor is still waiting for the opportunity to deal with the general! Therefore, he cannot favor her without any concerns.

The only one left is Zhen Huan. She has a simple background and is easy to control. She also has a bomb like Chun Yuan, which can be made to explode at any time. How useful!

Zhen Huan was brought up to compete with Nian Shilan, and Nian Shilan's palace power was deprived and her status was demoted. Without favor, how could she rise again?

On her side, she gave the palace power while using her son to restrain Concubine Hua, and at the same time provoked a fight between her and Concubine Hua.

Awesome! Brilliant!
