"Yes, Queen Mother, I understand."
...
Shoukang Palace has three courtyards.
The Queen Mother was the mother of the country, so she lived in the main hall.
The concubines and other such people around her, no matter which side hall they lived in before, were still the main lady.
Once the imperial power changed, they could only live in Shoukang Palace.
It was okay to live in the side hall in the past, as it was not that big after all.
However, the main seats of each palace were moved from the main halls of the six east and west palaces to the side halls of Shoukang Palace.
Inevitably cramped.
But even in this slightly cramped east room of the rear hall, there were three people sitting.
Concubine Jing, Concubine Hui, and Princess Longyue who will be coming of age next year.
Concubine Jing's handkerchief was almost soaked, but she still couldn't stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks.
Longyue also looked extremely sad, but Concubine Hui was filled with anger.
Then she slammed her hand on the table. "Marriage?! Why did she have to choose Longyue? How old is she? How could the Queen Mother be so cruel?"
"Sister, please be quiet. We live in Shoukang Palace now, but it's not like the time when we were the sole rulers of the palace."
Concubine Jing responded with sobs and grabbed Longyue's hands again.
"My poor child, if you really want to marry, will your mother ever see you again after traveling a thousand miles?"
After saying this, she couldn't help but hug Longyue and her crying suddenly became louder.
Seeing Concubine Jing act like this, even Concubine Hui, who had a strong temper, couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
Longyue couldn't help it.
Tears fell down, and she hugged Concubine Jing tightly with her arms, "Mother, I can't bear to leave you..."
The mother and daughter cried one after another, and the cries seemed to stop.
Concubine Hui could no longer bear the grief of the two people.
He stood up suddenly and shouted sternly, "Sister, what's the point of crying like this? Instead of wasting your energy, you should think carefully about how to save Longyue from the pain of this marriage."
Concubine Jing stopped crying.
His sadness subsided for a moment, but he held Longyue's hand tightly and refused to let go.
She raised her head and looked at Concubine Hui. "Sister, how could I not want Longyue to marry in the capital, to avoid the pain of traveling thousands of miles to marry?"
"But things are different now. Sister Zhen is gone, and it is the Ulanara aunt and nephew who control the harem."
"The Queen Mother has issued her decree. You and I are now like fish on the chopping block. How can we even have a chance to turn things around?"
How could Concubine Hui not know what Concubine Jing said?
After thinking for a while, a somewhat horrifying idea emerged in my mind.
"Longyue, please go out first. Empress Hui has something to say to your Empress Jing."
Longyue bit her lip, paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, Yue'er is waiting outside."
After saying this, he turned around and strode away.
In a blink of an eye, only Concubine Jing and Concubine Tai were left in the hall.
Taking a deep breath, Concubine Hui sat next to Concubine Jing.
"Sister, I have an idea in mind, but I don't know whether I should tell you..."
Concubine Jing grabbed Concubine Hui's hand like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw.
Because of excitement, she used too much force, and her nails immediately left several marks on Concubine Hui's hand.
"Sister, tell me, what is the method? Tell me quickly!"
A trace of difficulty appeared on Concubine Hui's face.
But Concubine Jing couldn't wait.
She shook Concubine Hui's hand heavily and said, "Sister, what's the solution? Tell me now! Can you just watch Longyue go thousands of miles away and never see her again in this life?!"
Concubine Hui let out a long sigh.
Seems determined.
But he didn't dare look directly at Concubine Jing.
Then a voice rang out, "Sister, tell me, if Longyue lost her virginity, would the Queen Mother still have reason to send her to Junggar?"
With just one sentence, Concubine Jing's expression changed instantly.
He subconsciously let go of Concubine Hui's hand.
Her fingertips trembled slightly: "Sister, what did you say?..."
After saying this, Concubine Hui seemed to have no more concerns.
She raised her head and looked directly at Concubine Jing. "I think Sister also understands that the Queen Mother insisted on having Longyue marry, not because of her noble birth."
"It's that the Queen deeply hates Huan'er and can't bear to see Longyue live a good life, so she insisted on having her marry."
"Sister, as you said, we now have no way out and can only be slaughtered by others."
