In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and autumn is almost over.
And in the palace, things have changed a lot.
Immediately after Cai Nu entered the palace, a new batch of court ladies also entered the harem. As a result, the harem, which was not so noisy before, suddenly became lively.
This morning, the canonization ceremony in the Yonghe Palace had just ended, and the concubines from each palace returned to their respective palaces. In the Chonghua Palace, just as Wu Wan and Gao Yurong sat down, the eunuch Xiaoqizi came in and said, "Your Majesty , Du Jieyu came to see the empress."
The two looked at each other.
Wu Wan said: "Let her in."
After a while, Du Siyao came in from the outside with the maid Liyun.
Today is the day when the servant Du Siyao was just conferred the title of Jieyu.
After she entered the palace, she was very popular, she was the first to serve the bed, and she was directly canonized as Jieyu in just over a month. Although she had support from her family, it was also inseparable from the energy of some people in the palace.
So, as soon as she walked in, she kowtowed respectfully to Wu Wan and said, "I pay my respects to Concubine Kang and Concubine An."
Wu Wan said with a smile: "Get up and watch the seats."
Li Yun helped Du Siyao up.
As soon as she sat down, Wu Wan smiled and said, "Du Jieyu, I'm so happy."
Du Siyao hurriedly said: "The younger sister can be canonized, but also thanks to the protection of Empress Lai."
"Hey, don't say that, I didn't do much."
Gao Yurong who was on the side smiled and said: "Your Majesty is being modest. For the sake of Sister Siyao, Your Majesty has worked hard with His Majesty a lot. Otherwise, how could she have conferred Jieyu after entering the palace for more than a month."
"..."
"Even Xia Zhaoyi is not so lucky."
When Xia Yunting was mentioned, a cold light flashed in Du Siyao's eyes.
Wu Wan only saw all this, then smiled again, and said: "Hey, speaking of it, my palace is useless, but in fact, my younger sister can be canonized as a concubine."
"ah?"
Du Siyao's eyes widened all of a sudden - concubine
Although in the palace, the concubine is only one level higher than Jieyu, but the rank is one level higher, and the treatment is completely different.
Moreover, there is no need to be at the same level as that Xia Yunting.
Du Siyao forced a smile, but the expression in her eyes had already become a little ready to move: "Then why, there is no canonization?"
Seeing that she had become anxious, Wu Wan secretly smiled inwardly, but still said with regret on her face: "Hey, I really can't say that."
Gao Yurong who was on the side said, "It's not because of that Si Nanyan!"
"Si Nanyan?!"
Upon hearing this name, Du Siyao's eyes turned red.
Although it had been a while since her father and brother took her out of the palace, she never forgot that Si Nanyan who fought with her in Ye Ting before.
Her complexion changed a little: "Could it be that she is obstructing it?"
"That's right."
"But isn't she just a Shang Bao female official?"
Gao Yurong sneered and said, "You just entered the palace, so of course you don't know. Although this Si Nanyan is not a concubine in the harem, besides being an official of Shangbao, she also has one more thing, which is to go to bed for the emperor at night."
"ah?"
"Compared to the concubines in our harem, she has a much better chance of meeting the emperor."
"..."
"Sister, before you canonized, last night, and the night before, the emperor let her go to bed."
"..."
"Originally, you were going to be canonized as a concubine, but now it's changed to Jieyu... Sister, there won't be any festivals between you, right?"
