Chapter 8 Watch the fun
"Empress, it's not good, it's not good... Concubine Shu has been fined and grounded for one month!"
A plainly dressed maid hurriedly ran into the side hall of Yaoguang Hall, shouting in a panic.
The empress she spoke of was none other than Liu Chongrong, who was playing with vases in the side hall.
Liu Chongrong didn't hear clearly what was coming after the maid's "I'm sorry". He was still pruning the flower branches calmly. He just frowned dissatisfied because of the maid's panic and scolded: "Yinghui, how many times have I told you, don't always
Make a fuss, be careful, the walls have ears, and I will be harmed again!"
The panic-stricken Ying Hui had long been used to this kind of reprimand from his wife, so he just kept silent, and then said anxiously with aggrieved tone: "But this time it's not a trivial matter! Princess Shu is going to be grounded for a month!"
When Liu Chongrong heard this, he didn't care about the walls having ears. He was shocked and couldn't hide his anxiety: "How could this be? What's wrong with the empress?"
You know, Concubine Shu is closely related to them. If something happens to Concubine Shu, they will not be able to protect themselves!
Concubine Shu is located in the main hall of Yaoguang Hall, while Liu Chongrong is in the side hall. The two of them have a natural relationship of interest. This is one of the reasons. Second, Concubine Shu almost helped Liu Chongrong up, so he can be regarded as the leader.
Concubine Shu's confidant; most importantly, the families behind the two have close ties and are related to the interests of the two families.
Although Concubine Yang Shu is usually arrogant and domineering and has countless enemies, His Majesty rarely takes action against Concubine Shu like this time.
This time, I was banned for a month...
This made it difficult for Liu Chongrong not to think too much.
Ying Hui did not dare to say anything else, so he only told what he had learned: "I heard that Your Majesty punished Concubine Shu for a month because of Sui Zhaoyi, who just entered the palace."
"Sui Zhaoyi?" Liu Chongrong had heard of this person, but when he entered the palace, she didn't take Sui Minghuan to heart.
A person who has been away from home since childhood has not been influenced by the set of etiquette since childhood, and has not experienced the training that a noble girl should have...
No matter how beautiful and fragrant she looks, how long can such a person survive in this deep palace that eats people without spitting out their bones?
Liu Chongrong frowned, stopped pruning the flower branches, turned his head to look at Ying Hui beside him, and asked, "Didn't Sui Zhaoyi just enter the palace today?"
"Yes. But..." Yinghui carefully considered and added: "Mother, you may not know something. Before Sui Zhaoyi got lost, she was born in the Anping Marquis Mansion."
When Liu Chongrong heard this, the smile on his face decreased a bit. He thought for a moment and sighed: "Marquis Anping... recently helped your majesty regain a large area of land. But in fact, he is a hero, and he is more of a sword for your majesty, right?"
After a pause, she sneered and said: "How much did that old guy send his daughter to the palace because of His Majesty's intention? Maybe it was the old guy who encouraged Your Majesty to tamper with our declining families."
"Empress?" Yinghui looked at Liu Chongrong in surprise, not understanding why she said it like this. She hesitated and said: "But empress... there is news that Sui Zhaoyi saved your majesty when he was a child."
This news was spread by Wei Huaian after he followed Ming Huan into the palace.
Mainly because some of the beauties in the palace were chosen by her.
Wei Huai'an was afraid that they wouldn't know the inside story, so he insisted on touching Sui Minghuan, and Sui Minghuan was a tough guy, so he didn't get any benefits when the time came, and he was also covered in ashes.
This was the first time Liu Chongrong heard the news. His expression immediately changed. He completely sank and pursed his lips. "This is bad."
"Empress? No matter what, Sui Zhaoyi has just entered the palace today, and there are many things that can be done." Yinghui didn't understand why Liu Chongrong was so nervous about Sui Zhaoyi.
Liu Chongrong did not answer her words, but just sighed.
This Sui Minghuan saved His Majesty, and the Anping Marquis behind him also regained the territory for His Majesty. Needless to say, Your Majesty's position is naturally on Sui Minghuan's side.
However, the position of Representative Anpinghou is different from those of the two families. Even if they don't provoke it now, there will be conflicts of interest sooner or later in the future.
Now the only option is to strike first.
After making a decision in his mind, Liu Chongrong asked Yinghui: "Does Concubine Shu have anything to entrust me to you?"
"Ah, if you didn't tell me, this slave would have forgotten it!" Ying Hui was awakened and said hurriedly: "I just passed by the main hall, and someone from Concubine Shu asked me to give this letter to you."
After saying that, she took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it to Liu Chongrong.
Liu Chongrong took it and opened it, and saw that it read: "I and my sister have always been like sisters and have the same mind. I won't say much about today's matter. I can only leave it to you about the palace banquet in the near future."
To my sister. In addition, the queen will leave the preparations for the palace banquet to Concubine Ming, and Sui Zhaoyi will also help."
When he first saw the first few lines of words, Liu Chongrong expected it and had no other feelings. But when he saw the last line of words, Liu Chongrong raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The queen actually left the matter to Concubine Ming?
Apparently, Sui Minghuan's help was arranged by the Queen.
Could it be that the queen actually wanted Sui Minghuan to suffer?
The gloom on Liu Chongrong's face was wiped away. She smiled and murmured to herself: "Sui Minghuan to help? This is an opportunity."
If something goes wrong at the banquet at this time, even His Majesty will have a hard time letting Sui Minghuan escape unscathed.

"Sui Zhaoyi, are you sure it's okay? How about I go talk to the empress, or should I do it?"
On the other side, Concubine Ming Yuesheng looked worriedly at Sui Minghuan, who was not only not worried about screwing up, but also secretly happy, and asked with a sigh.
They all knew that the palace banquet a few days later was actually led by Ming Huan, and she was just helping to correct it.
How could Sui Minghuan, a person who had just entered the palace, know so many twists and turns? She couldn't detect everything, there would always be some oversights.
What's more, Sui Minghuan and Mingyue Sheng were different from the concubines they had seen in the harem. She didn't look like a concubine at all, but rather like an inexperienced child.
"It's okay, thank you for your concern, sister." Suiming laughed happily, his bright eyes curved into a crescent shape, and said: "This is an opportunity given by the queen to my concubine. Of course, I can't disappoint my concubine. If there is anything I can't do, I won't do it."
Yes, I will definitely come back to find my sister."
Hearing this, Mingyue Sheng became even more sad.
Everyone in the harem had different emotions because of this news.
Except for the initiator, Wei Huai'an, who was happily lying on the imperial concubine's couch, gnawing on melon seeds, and started to have fun very naturally.
As for the harem, of course it is better to be more lively.
It is estimated that we will be able to watch a lively event soon.
