The Empress is Always Unambitious

Chapter 1: The harem is a battlefield

"You should at least learn from others. Last month Li Baolin met the emperor in the Imperial Garden. Now he is also very favored. He has served him three times this month." Zi Rui muttered.

"What should I learn from her? Dancing in the imperial garden on a hot day? I'm afraid of heatstroke." Shen Chuliu spoke softly, but she didn't care.

"Then you should follow Lu Baolin's example and make embroidery work for the Queen. You have also asked the Queen to arrange for her to sleep with you several times."

"You don't know that I'm not good at embroidery? I'm so tired. I'm blinded by embroidery." Shen Chuliu still didn't care.

"Then you can learn from Ning Cairen and write well..."

"Okay, okay, the time is coming, hurry up and comb my hair." Shen Chuliu sighed: "How can you repeat it every day without getting bored? I don't take care of you much, but aren't you also Baolin? Why are you so anxious? ah?"

"But it's been more than a year since you entered the palace! You were Baolin when you entered the palace, but you are better than them all. Now they have caught up!" Zi Rui said, but her hand movements were still a little faster. .

"There are so many people in the emperor's harem, is it possible that I have to pass them by? I entered the palace at the eighth level, why should I be anxious?"

"That's not because of family!" Zi Rui was anxious.

Shen Chuliu smiled softly: "That's all you know this. You have such a calm temperament, but after more than a year in the palace, you have become impatient. I can be better than them when I first entered the palace, and I will be the same in the future. What's the rush?" Seeing that Shen Chuliu had finished dressing up, he put on a pair of earrings: "Let's go, it's important to pay your respects to the Queen."

Because he lived far away and couldn't walk, Shen Chuliu could only walk with his girl Zirui.

When I went out, I met Yao Baolin. This one came from Qiandi. She is the oldest among the concubines in the harem. She is two years older than the emperor. She is already twenty-six this year.

Although twenty-six seems to be fine, in the harem, having no favor, no heirs, and no support from the mother's family is a lifelong outcome.

After the two people greeted each other, they went to the Queen's Palace together.

Fengzao Palace is on the central axis of the palace, but Cuiyunxuan where they live is on the southeast corner of the harem of the palace. It is really not close to pay their respects.

"Have you heard, sister? There was a scene in the middle of the night last night." Yao Baolin said with a smile.

"What's the matter? I was so asleep last night that I didn't hear anything." Shen Chuliu was curious.

"Didn't the emperor stay at Li Jieyu's Bailu Pavilion yesterday? In the middle of the night, it was said that Cao Meiren called the imperial doctor, saying that she had abdominal pain and dizziness. After a check, it turned out that she was pregnant, so the emperor was called to Qiushui Pavilion in the middle of the night. . At this point, Li Jieyu is very angry. Look, there will be a show for you this morning. "

Shen Chuliu smiled: "That's really a good show. This is also a blessing for Miss Cao."

"No, but the relationship between Li Jieyu and Cao Meiren has been settled." Yao Baolin said with a smile.

Shen Chuliu said nothing and nodded.

But no, although pregnancy is a big deal, in this harem, having one's beard cut off is also a big deal.

Jieyu is of the fourth grade, and Beauty is of the fifth grade, both of whom can live alone in a pavilion.

But beauties are inferior after all. Even if they are pregnant, they will not alarm the emperor in the middle of the night. This is probably intentional because of the pampering of the servants.

However, there are very few heirs in the emperor's harem. Now that Cao beauty has a child, as long as she can give birth to a child, she will be promoted to the throne. Then she will also be Jieyu, and she will have heirs, so she won't be too sad.

It's just that Li Jieyu was favored, and Cao Meiren didn't serve the emperor much.

"Speaking of which, Concubine Yi has always been favored, but she's not even pregnant." Yao Baolin whispered.

Shen Chuliu nodded, but that's not the case. Concubine Yi is the emperor's most beloved concubine. Although it was only a second-grade concubine, it was sealed after she ascended the throne.

The two of them arrived at Fengzao Palace, neither too early nor too late, and there were still people who hadn't come yet.

The two of them were just Baolin, and they were not favored. Besides, they were not the protagonists today, so everyone just said hello politely, accepting the gifts that should be received and returning the gifts that should be returned.

It was only when He Xiuyi and Song Xiurong arrived for the sake of the ninth concubine that the excitement became lively.

He Xiuyi talked a lot, and Shen Chuliu always suspected that it was because she nagged too much that the emperor treated her indifferently. Otherwise, she gave birth to the eldest princess, and the eldest princess was fine, but she was only one of the nine concubines. Not even the first of the nine concubines. "Hey, I'm not too late today." She smiled.

Everyone stood up to pay her respects.

"Li Jieyu, did you sleep well last night?" He Xiuyi asked one of today's protagonists as he sat down.

This is really a pot that is not opened and raised. No one directly stimulated it, so she asked directly.

However, no one who arrived just now has a higher status than Li Jieyu, and they dare not speak directly.

"Thank you for your concern, Empress Xiuyi. I am very nice." Li Jieyu looked down on He Xiuyi.

Speaking of which, among the three most favored concubines in the harem today, Concubine Yi is the first to bear the brunt. She is the only second-grade concubine with a title.

Next is Li Jieyu, and again Ning Cairen.

Compared to He Xiuyi who had not taken over for ten thousand years, Li Jieyu was not inferior at all.

"Concubine Shu has arrived." Someone said.

Everyone stood up to say hello.

Concubine Feng Shu is the female concubine in the harem second only to the queen, with a rank of first-grade concubine. Among the four positions of noble virtues and virtues, there is only one like this now.

However, her status is different, and she is the only prince of the emperor, the second prince, so it is naturally impossible for her to not have a high position.

But when it comes to pampering, she doesn't need to practice good manners.

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Yi arrived.

Yi Fei was naturally extremely beautiful, with autumn eyes and willow-leaf eyebrows. Liu Fufeng's figure is weak and her skin is like snow and jade. Both charming and charming.

In particular, she plays the piano very well and has a nice name, Hu Nanfeng.

Well, to be honest, Shen Chuliu was furious the first time he heard it, but the emperor thought it sounded good.

So he recited the phrase "The south wind knows my will and blows my dreams to the Western Zhou Dynasty". He also said that the south wind was connected with my mind, so he gave me the title: Yi.

Shen Chuliu always thought, since they have the same mind, why not just let them know

Ahem, but after all, this is indeed a beauty with outstanding appearance and talents.

The only shortcoming is that her family background is not good, otherwise she would be one of the four concubines of the first rank.

Everyone paid their respects to Concubine Yi, who in turn paid their respects to Concubine Feng Shu.

The queen also came out, and everyone paid their respects to the queen.

"Everyone, please sit down. Today is not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month. You don't have to go to the Queen Mother's palace. Just sit here in this palace. Miss Cao was unwell with fetal movement last night and asked for leave." The queen said.

Everyone looked at each other and realized that the other one didn't come.

"Normally, it's a happy event for this beautiful lady Cao to be pregnant, but this earth-shattering thing in the middle of the night is just ignorant." He Xiuyi said.

She was laughing at Li Jieyu just now, but now she started talking about Beauty Cao again. This is also the reason why she is not popular with others.

No one likes someone who talks twice and talks a lot.

[A few beeps as usual, first of all, if you want to see a couple having sex, you can leave. Secondly, I don’t abuse. Secondly, this is fiction, so don’t compare it with history. Some of the positions in the harem were taken from the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but there were also changes. Are there any old readers left? The first book is there. Raise your hand and let me take a look?]

A new book is out, I love you all.
