Chapter 137 138: Divorce Wife
Song Yunzhao looked at Concubine Shu with something wrong, but he didn't care. Concubine Shu looked at her with something wrong anyway.
"It's not impossible for me to show this face, but what's the benefit to me?" Concubine Shu looked at Song Yunzhao and said.
Song Yunzhao looked at each other in astonishment, "Isn't it the greatest benefit to the empress? First of all, if this matter can be successfully stopped, the empress dowager Zhuang will not be able to use it to curry favor with the empress dowager and overwhelm you. Furthermore, concubines in the palace are not easy to live in. You have saved them a lot of money. Everyone is naturally grateful to the empress, and the empress will have the hearts of the people. Finally, the empress has the power of appeal in the harem. If someone makes things difficult for you in the future, you will not be alone."
Concubine Shu listened to Song Yunzhao's eloquent talk, and what she said sounded like the truth, but in the final analysis, only the first one can be obtained, and the remaining two are ignored. The most important thing in the harem is the wall.
"What about you? What benefits can you get?" Concubine Shu looked at Song Yunzhao's three-two combo.
Song Yunzhao said without hesitation: "Of course concubines are beneficial. When the empress is well, I will naturally be safe."
Concubine Shu:?
What?
Song Yunzhao smiled sincerely, and Concubine Shu stood in front of Concubine Zhuang, and Concubine Zhuang naturally couldn't care less about embarrassing her.
Concubine Shu thought about it carefully, and then she came to realize that she was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Song Yunzhao at all. Sure enough, this person was the most treacherous.
Song Yunzhao took the opportunity to resign, "Your Majesty is high-minded, and there must be good luck in the future."
"It's better to leave than to see you off."
Hurry up and get out!
Song Yunzhao left with a smile. Concubine Shu's expression changed. After a while, she slapped the table and got up, and said to Nanny Wen who was hesitant to speak: "I haven't seen Concubine Zhuang for a long time. Today I have time to go and see her."
Nurse Wen: …
Although she felt that Song Jieyu's words were reasonable, but the empress acted so quickly, she really didn't deserve your attitude of pushing people away just now!
Song Yunzhao went back to Wangyou Palace on the front foot, and got the news on the back foot that Concubine Shu was going to Zhaoyang Palace.
She couldn't hold back and was happy. Concubine Shu's temperament is really as she expected.
If this pinpoints her lifeline, it will actually be very easy to get along with, at least much easier than Qin Xiyue Zhuangfei and the like.
Taking time, Song Yunzhao asked Anshun to take a look outside Zhaoyang Palace. As soon as he saw Concubine Shu coming out of Zhaoyang Palace, he immediately spread the news that Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang broke up. Why?
Naturally, it was because Concubine Zhuang raised money to give gifts to the Empress Dowager.
There are too many doorways here. Although Anshun is not eloquent, he does things very safely.
Anshun never looked back, and didn’t come back until Song Yunzhao’s dinner was over. “When the servant rushed to the Zhaoyang Palace, he happened to see Concubine Zhuang’s pale face sending Concubine Shu out from a distance. The two of them didn’t know what to say, and Concubine Shu walked away. The servant saw that the situation was the same as what the master said, so he went to the clothing bureau…”
Huanyi Bureau has a lot of people coming and going every day. It is not easy to find out what people say and do. It would be perfect to spread the news here. Anshun found his fellow countryman, casually told him what he had accidentally seen, then took the clothes from Wangyou Palace and left in the clothes bureau and left.
As soon as Anshun left, the Huanyi Bureau's news about Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Shu's collapse because of a hundred taels of silver spread.
When the news reached Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu was so angry that she said to Nanny Wen: "I just said that she has no good intentions. Look, look, it's been a while since the news has spread. The servants of the Worry Palace run fast!"
Nurse Wen almost couldn't stop laughing, and quickly said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, Cuiwei Palace can save trouble by doing this in Wangyou Palace. When Concubine Zhuang investigates, she won't be able to find you. Isn't that a good thing?"
Shu Fei snorted, "Is this important? Shouldn't the people around Song Yunzhao be so capable?"
Nurse Wen: …
She deliberately hid it from mentioning it, but she didn't expect the empress to think of it first, and now the empress is really getting smarter, she is really relieved.
"Mother, it's a good thing that people around Song Jieyu are capable. Now we, Cuiwei Palace and Wangyou Palace live in peace. If Wangyou Palace always drags you down, how can we cooperate in the future?" Wen Nanny advised cautiously.
She used to be very wary of Song Jieyu, but as Song Jieyu interacted more with her master, the master seemed to be doing things more properly than before, and Song Jieyu was measured and not greedy. Although she was favored, she would not turn her nose up. Being able to maintain such a relationship with her was very beneficial to her master. Of course, she had to say it well.
Not to mention anything else, when the empress dowager returns to the palace, if the master and Song Jieyu can still get along like this, then life will be easier.
Regarding the Queen Mother, Nanny Wen still has complicated feelings. I don’t know if the Queen Mother’s temperament has improved in the past few years.
"Who are you talking to?" Concubine Shu glared at Nanny Wen.
Nurse Wen said with a smile: "The servant does not speak to anyone, but the servant always thinks highly of the person who can benefit the mother."
Concubine Shu was satisfied now, and said slowly: "I knew she was waiting for me after all, just take a look, isn't it here? Counting the time, Song Yunzhao must have sent someone to squat outside Zhaoyang Palace to wait. Seeing me falling out with Concubine Zhuang made people spread rumors. Fortunately, I didn't let our own people take action, which saved trouble."
Nurse Wen suppressed a smile and said solemnly: "What your mother said is that Song Jieyu is still young and impatient. If we wait any longer, our Zhaoyang Palace will take action."
Concubine Shu felt that this was pleasing to the ear, and she felt less angry, and said to Nanny Wen: "Just wait, Concubine Zhuang is definitely going to die of anger. She also wants to use other people's money to give her a face. I didn't see her face so thick and dark before."
Nurse Wen wanted to see that it was useless. Your Majesty, how could you have thought so much about things in the past? When you thought this way in your heart, you said, "Your Majesty, you are kind-hearted. You know people, you know their faces, but you don't know your heart. Concubine Zhuang has always been able to behave and coax people away."
Concubine Shu thinks about it too. He used to think that Concubine Zhuang is better than Concubine Wan, but now it seems that she has really gone wrong.
"It's so lively now, I want to see how Concubine Zhuang has the face to take other people's money!" Concubine Shu is in a good mood, and she gets angry when she thinks that Concubine Zhuang cooperated with Song Yunzhao to pick her title, and now it's her turn to see her jokes.
"Concubine Zhuang has always paid attention to her reputation. You stepped on her face for this one hundred taels of silver this time. With her temperament, she will definitely not do it again." Nanny Wen said, with a look of hesitation after she finished speaking, "However, I have asked people about this matter. It is said that Qin Wanyi was the first to praise Concubine Zhuang. Maybe she is also responsible for this. If she persuades Concubine Zhuang again, maybe there will be changes."
Qin Xiyue?
Concubine Shu looked a little indifferent, "Teacher Qin is already at the end of the battle, and the Qin family has no rising stars. Taifu Qin took great pains to find an errand for the eldest son. Look at what he did? If it wasn't for the name of Taifu, hum!"
Concubine Shu was very dissatisfied with the Qin family about the porridge donation last time. She was not afraid of Taifu Qin when others feared him.
"It is precisely because of this that Qin Wanyi joins forces with Concubine Zhuang in the palace. Master, we must guard against it."
Concubine Shu nodded casually, "I see, you don't have to worry too much, Mammy, go and do your work."
Nurse Wen knew at a glance that the empress didn't hear her heart, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried. It seemed that she still had to establish a good relationship with Song Jieyu. With Song Jieyu around, the empress could still control her actions, and she wouldn't be easily instigated by Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan like before.
As for Qin Wanyi, the empress doesn't care, so she can only stare more.
Things fermented quickly, and Qin Xiyue also got the news, and was so angry that he threw away the chopsticks without eating a few mouthfuls of dinner.
Nurse Zhuo watched from the sidelines, and didn't know how to persuade her for a while. Things were going well, but why did Concubine Shu suddenly meet Concubine Zhuang?
The more Qin Xiyue thought about it, the more something was wrong, so she called Fangping in and said to her, "Go and check, someone is going to visit Cuiwei Palace today."
Fang Ping saw that her master had a bad look on her face, so she didn't dare to say anything, so she turned around and left immediately.
"Master, do you suspect that someone is instigating Concubine Shu?" Nanny Zhuo said.
"It's not suspicion, it must be." Qin Xiyue took a deep breath, "What kind of temperament is Concubine Shu, why would she care about this for no reason? She didn't participate in Concubine Zhuang's banquet, but she just didn't want to get involved, and ended up intervening instead? If someone hadn't said something in front of her, I wouldn't believe it."
Although Qin Xiyue didn't say who encouraged Concubine Shu, she already had doubts in her heart.
Who else in the palace can say who moved Concubine Shu?
She really couldn't figure it out, Concubine Shu and Song Yunzhao had exactly the same temperament, how could such two people get together?
This is not the first time. She also found out that Song Yunzhao had something to do with the disaster relief last time. She didn't expect that she would spoil her own good deed this time.
It really made her angry and angry, but there was no way to hold her for the time being.
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, Qin Xiyue couldn't hold back her emotions, pinched her fingertips fiercely on her palm, and the sharp tingling pain made her calm down slowly.
"Master." Fangping came back quickly, she carefully looked at the expression of the master, and then slowly said, "Today Song Jieyu visited Concubine Shu, not long after Song Jieyu left Cuiwei Palace, Empress Shu went to Zhaoyang Palace."
Sure enough!
Qin Xiyue pursed her lips tightly, and asked after a while: "How is Wangyou Palace doing now?"
"The slaves at Wangyou Palace didn't find any other actions. However, the news spread quickly, and it came from the Clothes Bureau. If such news came out of such a place, it could be seen that someone did it on purpose." Fangping said.
Qin Wanyi sneered, and there was no need to check. How could Concubine Shu be so thorough at such a fast speed? Song Yunzhao must have done it.
Things can't be left alone, but right now Song Yunzhao follows Concubine Shu closely and she can't do anything. If her status is higher, there is no need to be so restrained.
Thinking about it this way, Qin Xiyue's mood became even worse.
"You guys go down first." Qin Xiyue waved her hand and said.
Nurse Zhuo and Fangping retreated, and the two walked under the eaves. Fangping said a little uneasy: "Nurse, is the master okay?"
Fangping looked at Nanny Zhuo's expression even more worried, and said softly: "Mother, tell me, how could Song Jieyu persuade Empress Concubine Shu to come forward? With Empress Shu's temper, ordinary people really dare not take risks lightly."
"So this is Song Jieyu's ability." Nanny Zhuo said in a deep voice. Since her master entered the palace, she fought against Song Jieyu several times overtly and secretly, but she didn't seem to have the upper hand. This is not good for the master.
"Then what should I do? Is this going to fail?" Fangping frowns, what is the future of being suppressed by Wangyou Palace?
If there is no bright future in the palace, then this life will be ruined.
If the master is not good, what is the future of the slave?
Nurse Zhuo glanced at Fangping, "Where does this end, it will be a long time in the future."
Fang Ping thinks so too, the master's father is the Taifu, and there will be a day of recovery.
"Mummy, is this the way to settle things this time? This time our master didn't offend the one from Wangyou Palace." Fangping said slowly, how could this loss be swallowed like this?
After that, no matter how powerful the master is, wouldn't everyone feel like a bully?
"Concubine Zhuang can't stand up to her, and our master is also powerless. Let's wait and see." Nanny Zhuo has no better way, the main thing is to look at Concubine Zhuang. If Concubine Zhuang doesn't stand up to Concubine Shu, what can they do here?
Can't do anything!
Fang Ping sighed slightly, "Concubine Zhuang has always cherished her reputation, but this time she was caught by Concubine Shu and hurt her feet again, I'm afraid..."
Don't have the confidence to go against Concubine Shu.
Nurse Zhuo said with a heavy face, "I can only wait for another chance, I don't believe that Wangyou Gong never made a mistake."
As long as you seize the opportunity, you can kill with one blow.
The concubine of the first emperor had always been favored, but in the end she also fell.
It's nothing to be favored for a while, it depends on who can have the last laugh.
In Feishuang Palace, An Fangyi finished her dinner and was reading a book when Suyue, the court lady next to her lifted the curtain and entered quietly.
An Fangyi didn't raise her head, she just said calmly, "What's the matter?"
"Master, this servant just got the news that Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang fought against each other," Su Yue said.
An Fangyi was taken aback, "For today's matter?"
"Yes." Su Yue nodded, with a bit of worry on her brows, "Master, the empress dowager is about to return to the palace, and there may be more things in the harem after this. This time, the servants heard that Song Jieyu visited Empress Concubine Shu, and then Empress Shu went to empress Concubine Zhuang."
As soon as Song Jieyu made a move, Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang fought. Su Yue was really worried that her master would be involved.
An Fangyi's complexion was gloomy, and it took a while before she said, "I see, you should step back."
Su Yue still wanted to persuade her a few words, but seeing her master's expression was not very good, she had to shut up and back down, but she was very worried in her heart.
An Fangyi sat under the lamp in a daze, and she didn't know how long it took to come back to her senses. She looked up and looked out the window. There were only sporadic lights in the dark yard, and she couldn't see clearly when she was sitting indoors.
Now the main hall of the Liuhua Palace is lived by Concubine Han. Although her status is higher than that of Concubine Han, the emperor let Concubine Han live in the main hall, and her face was almost crushed to the ground.
An Fangyi couldn't sleep well all night, and in the second half of the night, she kept her eyes open until dawn.
Han Jinyi in the main hall also didn't sleep well. Although the development of the matter was still expected, but this time Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhuang had such a big fight, which also planted hidden dangers.
The reception banquet and reception ceremony fell through. After the queen mother returned to the palace, if Concubine Zhuang said something in front of the queen mother, it would be difficult to predict what the queen mother would do.
The atmosphere in the palace on the second day was gloomy, Concubine Shu didn't realize it, and Song Yunzhao was doing as usual, only the moods of the others were ups and downs.
On the third day, Concubine Shu suddenly held a tea banquet and invited many people, Song Yunzhao was not among them.
Song Yunzhao:…
She is not willing to go yet.
Concubine Shu specially invited Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wan this time, but Concubine Wan still refused while she was still ill, and Concubine Zhuang didn't participate this time, apparently she was **** off by Concubine Shu last time and didn't give her this face.
Qin Xiyue hesitated for a while and still participated, and the other people who were invited basically came.
Concubine Shu's purpose is straightforward, and her words are straightforward, which is very in line with her temperament. She said directly to everyone: "To welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace, each palace should do its best. The reception banquet will naturally be prepared by the imperial dining room, so you don't need to worry about it. As for the gifts, everyone prepares their own."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone looked at each other in dismay. Concubine Shu meant the exact opposite of Concubine Zhuang. The two had a falling out because of this yesterday. Although they were happy in their hearts, no one dared to be the first to answer.
Feng Yunjin and Han Jinyi sat together, they looked at each other without speaking.
Fan Qingru took a deep breath in her heart, what is this called, what are these people in the eyes of these high-ranking concubines, they are nothing, anyone can come up and kick them.
His heart hurts, but Fan Qingru dare not show it, her face is extremely ugly.
Concubine Shu is not as hypocritical as Concubine Zhuang.
She didn't care what other people thought or how they looked at her. After she finished speaking, she added, "I also have good intentions. Not all concubines in the palace have a lot of money. I don't care whether you appreciate it or not. I just don't want the empress dowager to have the reputation of treating the concubines harshly. Well, let's leave it alone."
Qin Xiyue raised her eyes and looked at Concubine Shu. The words for the Queen Mother's sake were really righteous, and it was really not like she could say such words.
Concubine Shu swung her handkerchief and twisted her waist into the inner hall, leaving a group of people looking at each other. Feng Yunjin and Han Jinyi were the quickest to react and left immediately.
Qin Xiyue wanted to say something at first, but it was a joy to see a few people leave, and she choked back the rest of her words, what else could she say?
The other people have the lowest status, Qin Wanyi is still stuck here, it's not easy to leave, waiting for her to leave before they all dispersed.
In an instant, the Cuiwei Palace became quiet, only the housekeepers cleaning things were left, and their movements were quick and light.
After Song Yunzhao knew about Concubine Shu's operation, he had to give her a thumbs up, because he was afraid that the previous argument with Concubine Zhuang would not be effective enough, and this time he held a banquet to show his attitude.
Before the emperor took the queen mother back to the palace, the people in the palace turned their backs on their backs, which is also funny.
After this farce, Concubine Zhuang and Qin Xiyue's plans fell through again. Song Yunzhao picked up her notebook again, and calculated the time for the Queen Mother to return to the palace.
Before the specific time for the queen mother to return to the palace, I received a letter from the eldest lady here.
Song Yunzhao was a little surprised. The eldest lady will not take the initiative to send her a letter if she is safe in her work.
Opening the letter, Song Yunzhao glanced at three things, and almost laughed out loud after reading the beginning. Song Qinghan had a quarrel in Wushun Hou's Mansion and returned to her mother's house. Cai was going to the Hou's Mansion to seek justice, and wanted the eldest lady to build momentum together.
The lady said in the letter that the biological mother of the concubine next to Xu Anxing was not a good match. She was already pregnant, and taking advantage of Song Qinghan's punishment, she deliberately fell and saw the red.
In this case, the eldest lady has to come forward. After all, Song Qinghan is a daughter of the Song family. After being bullied by Wu Xinhou's mansion, how will the other girls of the Song family live in her husband's house?
Although Song Yunzhao didn't like Song Qinghan and didn't sympathize with her experience in Wuxinhou's Mansion, she would naturally not stop other wives of the National People's Congress from coming forward, anyway, she would not give Song Qinghan a head start.
The meaning of the eldest lady is to keep the son and leave the mother, and sell Yanliu immediately after giving birth to the child. Only in this way can future troubles be prevented, and Song Qinghan can really gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion.
Although Song Yunzhao felt that this move was somewhat inhumane, Yanliu's arrogance was a disaster she had brought upon herself. She was not yet a concubine, but just a concubine who dared to do this. If she really became a concubine, she would not know how arrogant she would be.
But Wu Xinhou's mansion was protecting Yanliu, and Mrs. Wuxinhou was a little hesitant, but Xu Anxing directly refused, and even said that if he had to deal with Yanliu, he would divorce his wife!
Song Yunzhao:…
The eldest lady is now in a dilemma, so she asked Ce Yunzhao.
Song Yunzhao knew what was embarrassing for the eldest lady. If Xu Anxing insisted on dealing with Yanliu, Xu Anxing would divorce his wife. Would Song Qinghan want to make peace with Xu Anxing?
Back when she knew that Marquis Wuxin's mansion was a pit of fire, she still wanted to jump, but she was afraid she would not agree to reconciliation.
The Song family will probably be very busy with Song Qinghan's affairs now, Song Yunzhao shook his head, I am afraid that the eldest aunt will be disappointed, Song Qinghan will not reconcile.
She will not interfere in this matter. After reading this paragraph, and then looking down, she realized that Song Yuchang and others had gone south to join Song Jinxuan and his wife.
It seems that the academy the Yang family found for Yang Shu is really good, and Song Yanyue actually went there.
Song Yuyue went to study in Beijing, Ji Yunting was released, He Lanyun escaped the fate of cannon fodder, and Song Jinxuan got married safely. The direction of many people in the book has completely changed.
Especially Ji Yunting and Song Yanyue, the changes of these two have nothing to do with her, they are completely independent behaviors, Song Yunzhao can't help but think deeply, the power of the plot will gradually weaken with more subversion of the plot.
If Qin Xiyue knew that Ji Yunting had been released, she didn't know how grateful she would be. After all, this person is the white moonlight in her heart.
The fate of so many people has changed, and Song Yunzhao's confidence suddenly increased. Maybe there will be a turning point in dealing with the mean, unreasonable and willful queen mother in the book.
An update of 6,000 words will be sent today. There may not be an update in the early morning of the 4th. I am still on the way back, and I may not be able to type. If I get home early, I will write an update. If it is too late, I will definitely not be able to write it in the early morning. Everyone will watch the update during the day. Thank you for your support.
