Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 234 Demoting Wife to Concubine 1

"Your Majesty, someone has come from the Queen Mother's Palace and asked you to go there."

Not long after the concubines left, someone came from the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Your Highness, the Queen Mother summoned you all of a sudden. Could it be that the Queen Mother heard what I said when I was paying my respects just now?" Chen Xi was the one who spoke again. "I am worried that the Queen Mother wants to vent her anger on you. She summoned you now because she wants to scold you."

"Don't worry! The Queen Mother won't vent her anger on me for such a small matter," Jiang Chunxi stood up and said, "I guess it's because of the selection that the Queen Mother asked me to go see her."

Jiang Chunxi was right. The Queen Mother did want to see her because of the beauty contest. Of course, the Queen Mother also knew about the commotion among the concubines during the visit to pay respects today.

Although the power of the palace was given to Jiang Chunxi, the empress dowager was not completely confident in Jiang Chunxi, so she placed spies in Jiang Chunxi's palace.

Of course, it's not just the Queen Mother, even the dog emperor has arranged spies in Jiang Chunxi's palace. Fortunately, the loyalty talisman is not very expensive, otherwise, with the points Jiang Chunxi has left, I'm afraid he really won't be able to give loyalty talismans to all the eunuchs and palace maids in Changning Palace.

So! The spies of the Queen Mother and the dog emperor were actually loyal to Jiang Chunxi. They only revealed some unimportant things to the Queen Mother and the emperor. As for the things that were not good for Jiang Chunxi, they did not reveal them to the emperor and the Queen Mother at all.

When Jiang Chunxi arrived at the Empress Dowager's palace, she didn't expect that Shen Jingyao was also there, and she was sitting next to the Empress Dowager.

"Your servant pays her respects to the Empress Dowager." Jiang Chunxi ignored Shen Jingyao and saluted the Empress Dowager respectfully.

"Get up!" the Queen Mother said in a light voice:

"Thank you, Queen Mother." After Jiang Chunxi stood up, she sat on the stool that the palace maid brought for her.

"I am feeling a little unwell, so I am unable to pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine," Shen Jingyao sneered at Jiang Chunxi, "I hope the Imperial Concubine will not mind!"

"Princess Shen is joking," Jiang Chunxi laughed and retorted, "You are the apple of the emperor's eye. Even if you don't pay respect to me, I dare not say anything. How can I mind anything?"

"Are you blaming me, Your Majesty?" Shen Jingyao looked at Jiang Chunxi with a fake smile, "You think I deliberately didn't bow to you, so I lied and said I was not feeling well."

"If Concubine Shen insists on saying so, then I really have nothing to say," Jiang Chunxi smiled and looked directly at Shen Jingyao, "I believe that justice is in the hearts of the people. The Empress Dowager is watching. I believe that the Empress Dowager will definitely not let me suffer any injustice."

"Alright, stop talking!" The Queen Mother said with a gloomy face. Her displeasure was not only directed at Jiang Chunxi, but also at her niece. "The main reason I asked you to come here today is because of the beauty pageant. This is the first time the Emperor has held a beauty pageant, and nothing can go wrong."

"Don't worry, Empress Dowager," Jiang Chunxi said with lowered eyes, "I know the importance of this talent show, and I will do my best to make it a success. I just don't know if the Empress Dowager has any other instructions. You'd better tell me in advance, so that I won't let someone whom the Empress Dowager values ​​suffer any injustice without knowing it."

The Shen family will definitely let their daughter enter the palace. After all, Shen Jingyao is obviously useless. As long as the Shen family has greater ambitions, they will definitely arrange for another daughter of the Shen family to enter the palace.

Shen Jingyao's face changed: "What do you mean, Imperial Concubine? You are stretching your hand too far!"

It's easier to fight with smart people. Shen Jingyao immediately understood the meaning of Jiang Chunxi's words, which made her eyes full of resentment.

I just don't know whether I am angry at Jiang Chunxi or the Shen family.

With Shen Jingyao's intelligence, she could naturally expect that she would be abandoned by her family and that her family would send another girl from the Shen family to the palace. It was just that she deliberately didn't think about it before, and just regarded it as deceiving herself.

But now that Jiang Chunxi brought it up, Shen Jingyao could no longer deceive herself. No wonder her aunt called her over. It turned out that she was waiting for her here.

"I am really confused by what Shenpin said," Jiang Chunxi said, pretending to be stupid. "What did I say to make Shenpin question me about my hand not being too long? I want to ask, where exactly did my hand stretch too long? Shenpin should just say it clearly, so that I don't have to guess."

"That's enough," the Queen Mother frowned, "Noble Concubine Jiang, Concubine Shen is my niece."

What the Queen Mother meant was that even if you, Jiang Chunxi, are a noble concubine, you are nothing in front of my niece.

"Of course I know that Concubine Shen is the niece of the Queen Mother," Jiang Chunxi said with a smile, "Since the Queen Mother doesn't want me to talk to Concubine Shen, then I won't say anything. But the Queen Mother shouldn't just talk about me, but should also talk about Concubine Shen. Otherwise, if Concubine Shen says something to me again, should I respond or not?"

"If I agree to this, the Queen Mother will be unhappy and think that I don't take your words to heart. But if I agree to this, will Shenpin think that I look down on her and make Shenpin angry? Wouldn't that be another sin of mine?"

The Queen Mother's expression was extremely ugly: "My Royal Concubine, I think you are too arrogant. Now you dare not take me seriously. You should know that I can give you the power of the palace, and I can also take it back from you."

"Queen Dowager, calm down," Jiang Chunxi quickly stood up and knelt down, "I will go back and give the account books of the six palaces to the Queen Dowager. I sincerely feel that Shenpin is more suitable to be in charge of the palace power than I am, so why don't you give the palace power to Shenpin! Queen Dowager, please think of it as a sign of pity for me and let me relax a little."

The reason why Jiang Chunxi dared to confront the Queen Mother in this way was naturally because she had the confidence.

Because she knew very well that apart from her, no one was more suitable to be in charge of the palace power. After all, the former dynasty and the harem were one. Whether it was for political considerations or for Shen Jingyao, the emperor and the empress dowager were unwilling to hand over the palace power to others.

The most important thing is...

This person! You can't act too perfect, otherwise it will seem too fake, especially for the superiors, they are not afraid of you making mistakes, but they are afraid that you can't find any mistakes at all, that is what the emperor is most afraid of.

Shen Jingyao was not disturbed by Jiang Chunxi's words, because she knew very well that the power of the palace would never be given to her. Jiang Chunxi said this purely to disgust her and her aunt.

The Queen Mother felt like she had eaten shit at this moment. She was disgusted by Jiang Chunxi: "Get out of here! Go back to your Changning Palace right now before I get angry."

"Yes." Jiang Chunxi knew when to quit and left quickly.
