Chapter 364: Burial of the Concubine VS Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 12
“Where’s Concubine Zhuang? I don’t think you mentioned her.”
She raised her eyes to Liuli and asked again.
Liu Li glanced at her, was silent for a moment, and then said: "The noble concubine is not favored, and she may not be able to sleep with her once in a month or two, but because she comes from the general's palace, it will be easy for the new emperor to ascend the throne. The other minor masters in Yihe Palace are not allowed to be granted high positions. When the emperor was still the prince, he was somewhat favored by the talented people brought back from Jiangnan, but that's all. He could only see her once in a month or two."
Yu Yao was surprised when he heard this. Understand, Zhuang's noble concubines are not favored. Being named a noble concubine depends entirely on family background.
As for the other women in Yihe Hall, they could not see Emperor Jing at all.
Never mind someone like Miaocairen who only saw Emperor Jing once in a month or two, Liuli regarded him as somewhat doting.
She thought that she should pay a visit to Concubine Zhuang. Even if Concubine Zhuang was not favored, she was still the head of Yihe Hall. If she didn't pay a visit, she would inevitably be criticized by others.
She stood up and said to Liuli: "Liuli, come with me to the main hall. I want to visit the noble concubine."
No matter where she is in other planes How beautiful, but here, she is just a little noble person. Respecting the dominant position and maintaining good relationships are important rules for survival.
"Okay, little master, can we prepare some gifts?"
Liu Li asked.
Yu Yao shook her head slightly, "I am a palace maid, and I don't have anything valuable to give. Even if I give it reluctantly, the noble concubine may not like it, as long as it is sincere."
At least in the eyes of others, if she comes up with something good, wouldn't it prove that she has been on good terms with the emperor for a long time?
This will only make others jealous, which is unnecessary.
Liuli looked at her in surprise. Although the young master was indeed a palace maid, she was now a concubine and no one would be willing to mention her miserable past.
The young master is quite upright and seems not to care at all.
"The little master said yes, then let's go."
Liu Li smiled sincerely, stepped forward and said with a smile.
Yu Yao took Liuli's look into her eyes, but she was thinking in her heart that Liuli was smart and steady, and very familiar with the harem. She had a reputation in her heart. If she used it well, it could save her a lot of trouble. .
Thinking of this, she quietly put a heartfelt charm on Liuli's back, smiling meaningfully.
"Let's go."
She smiled faintly, put a hand on Liuli's arm, and the two left the east side hall.
On the way, she thought of the slaves who had served the original owner, and wondered if she should find an opportunity to transfer them over.
But as soon as the thought came up, she killed it.
Those people are very familiar with the original owner. If they are transferred around, it would be bad to see any flaws.
"By the way, Liuli, where were you originally on duty? And why were you transferred to Yihe Hall?"
Yu Yao looked sideways at Liuli walking beside her, and reluctantly He kept asking.
“Back to the young master, this slave was originally a maid in Rutai’s palace. After Rutai was buried, the slave was assigned to the flower room. I heard that the emperor granted a Qin nobleman to the harem, so the slave I used the money to transfer here to make a future for myself."
Liu Li did not hide anything and told the truth about her origins.
"Ru Taifei's palace?"
She looked at Liuli suspiciously. Ru Taifei's status was much higher than that of the original owner. The late emperor was Ru Zhaoyi before his death.
After the death of the late emperor, she was granted the title of concubine Ru by Emperor Jing.
For example, the concubine was quite favored during the reign of the late emperor. Unfortunately, she was drugged in her early years and her body was damaged, resulting in infertility.
Because he had no heirs, he ended up being buried.
Yu Yao had a hush on her face, trying hard to search the memory of the original owner, but she couldn't even remember that Liuli was beside Concubine Ru.
However, as there were so many slaves around the concubine, the original owner lived in seclusion and might not have noticed.
"Back to the young master, yes, I was just a third-class maid in the Dowager Palace at that time, and was not taken seriously."
Liu Li lowered her eyes, but she did not hide anything.
She knew it in her heart, so she said why she didn’t have the slightest impression.
Who would pay attention to an unnoticed third-class palace maid?
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the main hall of Yihe Hall.
There is a palace maid named Jin Xin standing at the door of the main hall. She is the personal palace maid next to Zhuang Guifei.
Jin Xin saw the two people and thought about the noble Qin who lived in Yihe Hall today, so she knew who the visitor was.
She quickly stepped forward and said, "I have met Mr. Qin." Her attitude was polite and her words were respectful and polite. She did not mean to look down on Yu Yao because she was a palace maid.
Yu Yao smiled slightly, feeling a little more favorable in her heart, "No need to be polite, I came here today to visit your concubine. I wonder if your concubine is inside?"
Jin Xin stood up and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty is here, Qin, please wait here while I let you go in and report."
The two waited for a while at the entrance of the main hall.
Not long after, Jin Xin came out and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Qin, I will let you in."
She nodded slightly, asked Liuli to wait at the door, and walked in.
Stepping into the main hall, a light and elegant fragrance hits your nostrils. Compared with the east side hall, this place is more solemn and gorgeous.
Concubine Zhuang is sitting on a carved pear wood chair, holding a book in her hand. Her appearance is dignified and beautiful, with a full forehead, a round face, eyebrows like a crescent moon, slightly hanging black hair, and fair skin, all showing Calm and dignified.
Yu Yao took a few steps forward and performed a standard palace ceremony, "My concubine Yu Yao, I came here to pay homage to your noble concubine. I wish your concubine good health and long-term blessings."
Concubine Zhuang put down the book in her hand and smiled slightly, but her smile was a bit bitter and helpless, "Qingui, you are so polite. I am very happy that you can come."
"Sit down, don't be restrained."
She pointed to the embroidery stool beside her and said softly.
Waiting for Yu Yao to sit down, he heard Zhuang Gui’s concubine say: "In this harem, human relationships change rapidly. Although you and I are concubines, we have to be careful. You are new here. If you need help, Just say whatever you want."
She looked at Zhuang Guifei and felt grateful. Although Zhuang Guifei was not favored, it was not easy for her to maintain such open-mindedness and calmness.
“Thank you so much, I will keep it in my heart. If I make any mistakes in the future, I hope that I will teach you.”
After the two talked, she gradually understood Zhuang Guifei's character, and she finally understood why Zhuang Guifei was not favored.
Concubine Zhuang is undoubtedly a beauty, but she is not particularly beautiful. There is a sense of pride in her dignity that makes her unable to let go of her figure to please and serve men.
It is expected that he will not be favored.
While Yu Yao and Zhuang Gui’s concubine were talking, the concubines also learned that the emperor had made a maid a noble person.
There were discussions and curses in all the palaces. Secretly, many vases were broken and how many slaves suffered, becoming the punching bag of their masters.
Fengyi Palace.
The queen is arranging her appearance in front of the bronze mirror, and the maids are busy quietly.
The queen thought about the news she heard, her lips parted lightly, "I heard that the emperor added a nobleman this morning? The title is Qin, is it true?"
The personal maid Jin Xuan stepped forward. Taking a step forward, he respectfully replied: "Yes, your Majesty, everyone in the harem knows about this. I heard that he was given a residence in the east side of Yihe Hall. I heard that noble Qin once worked as an errand in the Hall of Supreme Harmony and was very beautiful." ”
“Extremely beautiful?”
The queen smiled slightly, stroking her hair in front of the bronze mirror, her eyes full of waves, "The most indispensable thing in this harem is beauty."
The emperor observed filial piety for twenty-seven days, and did not turn over the signs during this period. This palace maid was working as an errand in the Hall of Supreme Harmony again, so she must have gotten along well with the emperor at this time.
The queen knows exactly what her husband is like. It is impossible for Sebu to observe filial piety and not touch women for twenty-seven days.
Although having an extra woman in the harem made her feel uncomfortable and bored, she had long been used to it.
I just don’t know how capable this noble Qin is. If she can take away some of the love from Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li, she wouldn’t mind taking it for herself.
And Concubine Jade, that bitch, the emperor obviously didn't like her, but because she was the niece of the queen mother and the emperor's cousin, she showed off her power in front of her several times and didn't take her as the queen in his eyes.
The queen frowned, her eyes full of boredom, and snorted softly, "Is there any movement in the palace of these bitches like Concubine Yu, Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Li?"
Jin Xuan lowered his head slightly and replied truthfully, "Return to your Majesty, listen. It is said that Concubine Yu was very angry in the palace, smashed many porcelain vases, and even took out her anger on the servants around her. As for Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li, although they did not take out their anger on the servants around them, they also smashed a lot of porcelain. .”
When the queen heard this, her face changed. His color suddenly darkened, and he slapped the golden mule in his hand on the dressing table, and said angrily: "It's really unreasonable. The emperor just made a little noble person, and then stimulated them to this point. I really think he is a little bit pampered." Just lawless? ”
Her eyes were full of anger. She paced back and forth in the palace, pondered for a while, and then said: "Jinxuan, please go and inform the palace ministers. From now on, if any concubines are smashing vases and porcelain to vent their anger, they are not allowed to make up for it. Let them Use your own money to buy it.”
Don’t you like smashing things? Then look at how rich your family is. Do you really think that the porcelain in the palace is free? Smash it if you want?
Jin Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth and suppressed a smile and said: "Your Majesty, you are so clever. Concubine Yu, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li will be very angry to death."
Except for Concubine Yu, her family background is very poor. Well, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Li are both from Jiangnan. They don't have any powerful family backgrounds. They can sit on the concubine position only because of the emperor's favor.
The queen smiled slightly, and the depression in her heart was relieved a lot. After thinking about it, she ordered again: "Go to the warehouse to pick out some good things and send them to Yihe Palace to Lord Qin, and tell me that I Congratulations to her. "
There is a new sister in the harem. As a queen, even if she is not happy in her heart, she still has to express what she needs to do to avoid being called stingy.
What's more, this move can also stimulate those three bitches, why not do it?
