The tooth plate that represents Zhuang Luoyan's identity has long been changed from wooden to white jade, and this one thing alone represents her promotion in the harem.
The old eunuch who was in charge of making tooth plaques in the temple province took the water white jade sent by the people above, rubbed the surface of the jade stone, and said with some emotion: "In just a short period of time, the white white jade was replaced by water white jade, this master is really Do you love the crown harem?"
"Shui Baiyu, isn't this only for the masters above Zhaorong?" The old eunuch's apprentice was a little surprised, "Is it possible that another empress in the harem will be promoted to concubine?"
"Apart from that one, who else has this ability?" The old eunuch looked in a certain direction, and seeing that the little apprentice seemed to want to talk more, he said with a sullen face, "I'm curious about what these things are doing, and why aren't they doing anything?"
"These days, Ben Gong actually feels that the harem is getting more and more deserted," Concubine Shu Gui was sitting on the vermilion corridor, casually looking at the autumn scenery in the garden, "I don't know if the people in the harem have changed, or if Ben Gong's mood has changed. already."
"Why does my sister feel this?" Su Xiuyi peeled off the longan and was a little careless. "In my opinion, there are fewer people in the harem. Because of some people, the harem is smoky."
As soon as Su Xiuyi finished speaking, she heard a soft voice behind her.
"The concubine has seen Concubine Shu Gui and Su Xiuyi."
"Hey, isn't this Qian Wanyi, the newest member of Changtianlou?" Su Xiuyi threw the half-peeled longan aside, put her hand into the clear water presented by the maid, and said while cleaning her hands, "I saw your face a few days ago. The rash on your face is very scary, and it still looks like a hibiscus out of water at this moment, it seems that you are recovering well."
"Thank you for your concern, the imperial physicians in the imperial hospital have rejuvenated with good hands, and the concubines are no longer in the way, not to mention that tomorrow is Zhao Xianrong's birthday, how can the concubines be absent?"
"So, you can be absent from Concubine Shu Gui's birthday?" Su Xiuyi snorted coldly, looked at Qian Wanyi's dazed and ignorant appearance, turned her eyes away and raised her voice, "Or, in your heart, Concubine Shu Gui Not as honorable as Zhaoxian Rong?"
"Okay, they're all sisters who serve the emperor, what's so noble or not?" Concubine Shu Gui glanced at Qian Wanyi who wanted to defend herself, "Qian Wanyi didn't come to this palace for her birthday, presumably because her body has not yet recovered. , Now Da'an, it's natural to celebrate Zhaoxianrong's birthday."
"Niangniang Mingjian," Qian Wanyi made a thousand blessings to Concubine Shu, "The concubine will never offend the empress."
Concubine Shu took a close look at Qian Wanyi, with a gentle smile on her face: "Okay, this palace knows, you can go down."
Seeing Qian Wanyi leave, Su Xiuyi said a little unwillingly: "Sister, why did you let her go?"
"If I don't let her go, is it possible that this palace will punish her?" Concubine Shu Gui had no more smile on her face, "Let's not say that she has some affection with the emperor now, just tell me why this palace punishes her because she wants to go. Zhao Xianrong's birthday banquet?"
Without waiting for Su Xiuyi to speak, Concubine Shu sneered, "You think Zhuang Luoyan is still the original Zhuang Luoyan, and seeing how the Queen and Concubine Xiangui treat her, you should understand what place she occupies in the Emperor's heart."
"But sister, you are the most favored in the harem, why should you let her?" Su Xiuyi was a little unwilling, "What kind of thing is Zhuang Luoyan?"
"Most favored?" Concubine Shu Gui's eyes dimmed slightly, then sneered, "Maybe."
Only she knows that the emperor treats her now, after all, it is not as good as in the past.
Before the two of them sat down for a long time, they saw a group of people slowly walking towards this side, and when they got closer, they realized that it was Zhao Xianrong that the two of them talked about just now.
After seeing each other, Zhuang Luoyan sat down on Concubine Shu's right hand, looked at the vermilion pillars on the corridor, smiled and said nothing.
"Tomorrow is Zhao Xianrong's birthday, why do you still have time to go out?" Concubine Shu Gui looked at Zhuang Luoyan lazily. exquisite taste.
"Although it's the birthday of the concubine, but because the emperor and the empress cherish love, the concubine is actually an idler," Zhuang Luoyan showed a sincere smile on his face, "the empress also said that I'm in poor health recently, so I need to move around more."
On the eve of her birthday, she said that she was so poor that she needed to move around a lot, but the queen really cared about the concubines and concubines in the harem without any taboos.
Concubine Shu Gui looked at Zhuang Luoyan, who smiled utterly ignorant. Could it be that her ignorance was what the emperor saw
Zhuang Luoyan didn't seem to see Concubine Shu's scrutinizing eyes, but just smiled softly.
Seeing her like this, Su Xiuyi's eyes changed, but this time she didn't deliberately say anything embarrassing to the other party, it was rare that she could see the situation clearly and endure it.
"The Emperor is here!"
Zhuang Luoyan stood up and saw that the emperor had changed out of the dragon robe on the court. He was wearing a Shu embroidered Jin Wenxiang dragon robe and a gold crown with nine dragons and pearls on his head.
The three of them saluted, and the emperor stepped forward to support Concubine Shu and Zhuang Luoyan, "Why are the three concubines together, I rarely see you together."
"Your Majesty, you are busy with government affairs, so why do you need to care about these little things?" Concubine Shu Gui took the tea cup handed over by the palace maid and handed it to the emperor. "I just didn't expect to meet the emperor here."
After taking a sip of tea, the emperor put the teacup aside, "Concubine Ai said that I have been burying myself in government affairs all day."
"Your Majesty is in charge of every day, this is the blessing of all the people in the world." Concubine Shu Gui replied with a smile.
Zhuang Luoyan quietly watched the exchanges between the emperor and Concubine Shu, but she discovered an interesting phenomenon. Concubine Shu seemed to be somewhat sincere towards the emperor.
It was a surprise to her that someone as intelligent as Concubine Shu had such a mind.
Or, as long as a woman will inevitably fall in love with a person after a long time
It's just that men and women are the exact opposite. After a long time, the people who were originally tempted will only become bland and tasteless old tea, and they can't wait to change to new tea immediately.
"What is Concubine Ai thinking, but she has been silent all the time?"
Hearing the emperor's voice, Zhuang Luoyan raised his head and smiled at the emperor, "The concubine is just thinking about tea."
"The province in the palace just got new tea a few days ago. If you like it, let someone pick it up." Feng Jin laughed, "Look at it, isn't that what you think?"
"The emperor said no, the concubine naturally can only say no," Zhuang Luoyan tilted his head slightly, as if unconsciously showing affection and affection, "Anyway, the emperor is the god of concubines, whatever you say will do."
Feng Jin got up, walked to Zhuang Luoyan and sat down, stretched out his hand to hold her hand: "I hear this very pleasant."
Zhuang Luoyan raised her head and happened to meet the emperor's eyes. The other party's eyes were full of smiles, and her eyes were also stained with smiles.
But, who knows if it's true or not
Concubine Shu looked at the hands that the two held together, and the smile on her face became cooler.
That night, just when everyone thought that the emperor met Concubine Shu and Zhao Xianrong by chance in the imperial garden and would go to Concubine Shu's Anqing Palace, the emperor went to Xihe Palace of Zhao Xianrong.
