Chapter 373: Burial of the Concubine VS Ruthless and Romantic Emperor 21

After the Queen finished lecturing Concubine Li, she walked dignifiedly to the main seat and sat down.

Seeing this, Yu Yao respectfully walked to the center of the hall, knelt down slowly, and said softly: "My concubine, Yu Yao, pay my respects to the Queen. I wish the Queen good health and blessings for thousands of years."< br>
This is a solemn kneeling ceremony, with the forehead lightly touching the ground and a pious attitude.

This is the rule in the palace. When a concubine comes to Fengyi Palace for the first time to pay her respects after going to bed, she must kneel down and bow down to show respect for the queen.

The queen nodded slightly, her gaze fell on her, and her tone was gentle, "My lord Qin, since you have entered the harem, you must abide by the palace rules, live in harmony with the harem sisters, and must not act out of emotion. Furthermore, since you are a concubine, , we must continue to spread the children and branches for the emperor, and must not let down the emperor's favor and expectations."

Concubine Li glanced at the queen with an extremely disdainful expression.

Aren’t you tired of this old woman saying this to every concubine who enters the harem?

If someone really thought she was pregnant, this old woman would not know how uncomfortable she would feel. It was really hypocritical.

Concubine Li did not stare at the queen intently, and quickly turned her gaze aside.

Concubine Yu and Concubine Zhen also had such thoughts.

In terms of hypocrisy, the Queen is the first, and no one dares to claim the second place.

Everyone in the hall had different expressions, and their eyes fell on Yun Bin intentionally or unintentionally, but she was the only woman present who had ever been pregnant.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her and knowing the reason, Yun Bin couldn't help but think of the aborted child in the East Palace.

It didn’t arrive for three months, it was just gone.

Every time I think about it, it makes Yun Bin extremely sad.

No one knows how sad Yun Bin is.

Yu Yao stood up, blessed her body, and said respectfully: "I will keep the Queen's teachings in mind. I must live in harmony with my sisters and create heirs for the Emperor."

The queen nodded slightly, "As long as you understand, please step back."

"Yes."

She respectfully blessed herself and returned to her original position.

She didn't know where she should stand. She just figured that standing a little in front of Shu Meiren would be a good idea.

"Sister Qin, you are standing at the wrong place, you should be in front of me."

A beauty wearing a lavender plum blossom palace dress suddenly said.

She moved back wisely, making room for Yu Yao.

Seeing Yu Yao looking at her in confusion, she explained with a smile: "I am a royal nobleman. Sister Qin has a title, so she should stand in front of me."

"Thank you for reminding me."

Yu Yao nodded slightly, understanding in her heart, and stood at Wang Guiren's original position.

And Wang Guiren stood in her position.

Then, everyone heard the queen say: "Sisters, the emperor has just ascended the throne, and everything is waiting to be done. Now that the period of filial piety has passed, according to the ancestral system, our Dagan Kingdom will hold a big draft to... Enrich the harem and extend the royal bloodline.”

As soon as these words came out, there was a lot of discussion in the palace. The concubines had different expressions, but most of them looked very bad.

There are already enough women in the harem. If another batch comes, they may not even be able to drink the soup.

Concubine Yu’s face looks ugly, and a group of women are coming to compete with her for her cousin. It’s really annoying.

But we also understand that the new emperor's ascension to the throne and the draft are ancestral and no one can change it.

Not even the Queen Mother’s aunt.

Concubine Li also looked gloomy and looked very bad, and the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a twist.

Concubine Zhen looked gloomy. Although she said nothing, she was worried in her heart.

Some of the other concubines bowed their heads and said nothing, while others sighed secretly.

Yu Yao's mentality is very peaceful. Anyway, she doesn't like the dog emperor, and she doesn't care how many women come.

The queen had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions. Although she was not happy about the draft, it was an ancestral system and a rule that no one could change.

She didn't say anything, she just waved and let everyone disperse.

Yu Yao knew that Concubine Li would definitely cause trouble for her, so as soon as she left Fengyi Palace, she took Liuli and ran away very quickly.

He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

glaring angrily at Li Fei who was about to cause trouble for her, she twisted the handkerchief in her hand and cursed through gritted teeth: "Is this bitch born in the year of rabbit? Can you run so fast?" Come here? When the concubines in the harem who were paying their respects walked out of Fengyi Palace, they happened to see this scene and couldn't help laughing.

When Concubine Li heard everyone's laughter, her face became even more ugly. She glared at everyone in anger, then threw her handkerchief and rode away on a horse.

Concubine Zhen saw this scene in her eyes, she lowered her eyes slightly, and secretly thought in her heart:

Concubine Li is so embarrassed, she will definitely find opportunities to take revenge in the future, this harem fight It's getting more intense, so I have to be more cautious. Maybe I can take advantage of the conflict between the two and reap the benefits.

"Empress, let's go."

The palace maid Xiangguo stepped forward, gently helped Concubine Zhen to sit on the pedestal, and left quickly.

Concubine Yu looked at Concubine Zhen and then at Concubine Li who had left, with a sneer on her lips.

They are all unworthy bitches. Are these bitches worthy of serving my cousin? But my cousin still likes it very much, which is really annoying.

She waved the veil proudly, was supported by Furong and sat on the imperial concubine's steps, and left quickly.

This side.

Yu Yao and Liuli trotted all the way back to Yihe Palace. In order to avoid Concubine Li catching up, she deliberately took a small path.

Fortunately, she ran fast enough and escaped.

Liu Li panted and followed behind, "Little Master, you run so fast, you have exhausted your servant."

Yu Yao stopped and panted slightly: " If I don’t run away, I’m afraid I’ll be pestered by Concubine Li again, which will be endless.”

It’s not that she’s afraid of Concubine Li, she’s just too lazy to pester her.

After returning, she took a bath, ate, and then lay on the couch and began to think about the current situation in the harem.

The queen formed her own faction, with many concubines attached to her.

I heard that Concubine Shu and Concubine Rong are both Queen's people.

Concubine Yu is the niece of the Queen Mother and the Emperor's cousin. Although she is not liked by the Emperor, she still occupies a high position and has many concubines attached to her.

Wen Zhaoyuan belongs to Concubine Jade, which can be seen when she greets her in Fengyi Palace.

Concubine Li and Concubine Zhen were both favored concubines, and they both formed their own factions, and each had concubines attached to them.

Yue Fei has an aloof character and doesn't stand for anyone, so she can be considered a clique, but she has no one following her and she often walks alone.

There are only these factions at present, but with so many concubines in the harem, it is impossible for Yu Yao to find out who belongs to whom.

There are also some who have no factions.

Thinking about what happened in Fengyi Palace today, she was afraid that she had been classified as a queen by the concubines in the harem.

The Queen's partiality is so obvious that anyone with eyes can see it.

She sat back on the soft couch, frowning slightly.

To be honest, she didn't want to be attached to the queen, let alone become the knife in the queen's hand.

But the queen has not revealed anything to her so far. She is still investigating, so she can only take it one step at a time.

She thought about the draft again. Although she didn't care, the balance in the harem would definitely be broken, and all forces would take action.

When the time comes, I don’t know what the situation will be like.

Guanju Palace.

The palace is filled with incense, and a light aroma fills the air.

Concubine Jade was leaning on the soft couch, and the palace maid Furong knelt at her feet, gently beating her legs every now and then.

Concubine Yu looked at Wen Zhaoyuan, who was sitting on the embroidery stool nearby, and said with a melancholy expression: "I don't have many favors from this palace. I owe my current status to my aunt, and now I have to be drafted. , when the time comes, my cousin won’t be able to think of me anymore.”

Even if she didn’t want to admit it, she knew very well that her cousin didn’t have much affection for her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Wen Zhaoyuan looked at Concubine Jade's melancholy expression, her eyes twinkled, and she comforted: "Don't worry, Madam, you have the protection of the Queen Mother and your position in the palace is stable. Besides, this draft may not be all bad, we can choose These people who are easy to control can be used by the empress to add her help."

Concubine Yu sighed slightly, "Having said that, there are too many variables for the newcomers. Who knows what will happen to them?"< br>
She waved her hand irritably, "But what you said makes sense, we can't sit still and wait for death."

She sat up straight, her eyes became sharp, "Go ahead, during the draft, Carefully observe the words, deeds, and family backgrounds of those beautiful girls. Those who are ambitious and thoughtful will win over them if they can, and if they can't, they will find a way to kick them out."

Wen Zhaoyuan quickly responded: "Yes. Empress.”
