The Noble Consort’s Pet Empress

Chapter 33: ③③ Promoted

Views:

Dayan's amnesty to the world will not only release the prisoners in prison, but also promote the concubines in the palace one after another.

Of course, the prisoner is not released directly to let him go home, but to be sent to a place of bitter cold for "labour reform", and then released according to the degree of his reform. If he is caught committing a crime again after being released, he will have no chance of reforming himself in the future.

As for the promotion of concubines, except for the abandoned concubines in the palace, other concubines can basically be promoted by one or two levels. Under normal circumstances, there would not be too many promotions, but this one or two ranks is already a shocking joy for the low-ranking concubines who have not been favored all the year round.

In the palace, the difference between one level is huge, and there are even differences between different titles.

The decree of the promotion of the concubines in each palace was chosen to be announced when all the concubines greeted the queen. Since the queen had just returned from the palace, it was customary for all the concubines to come to greet the queen, so everyone came together.

Originally, the greetings meant that the women gathered together to quarrel and bicker, and they dispersed after a while. But today, the queen didn't speak, and none of the high-ranking concubines stepped forward to leave voluntarily. Naturally, the remaining concubines didn't dare to be the first to leave, so they could only continue drinking tea and chatting with them.

It wasn't until the chief eunuch came with the emperor's imperial decree that the concubines suddenly realized, no wonder they stayed here for so long today.

The eunuch read out the emperor's will one by one, and the empress naturally couldn't continue to advance, so she could only reward something more. The imperial concubine gave me a title, Ming.

Concubine Ming sounds okay, why does Concubine Ming feel weird

Concubine Shen Gui accepted the imperial decree while thinking about it, thinking about whether she should talk to Emperor Dog about her life.

In addition, Concubine Shu was not promoted, but added a title of "Yi" before the regulated title of "Shu", and now she is Concubine Yi Shu. Concubine Shen Gui silently held back her laughter, Concubine Suicide Letter... The emperor must have done it on purpose!

Concubine Rong was promoted to Concubine De, and lost the title of "Rong". Although the word "Rong" was used to respond to Su Qiao's heart before, the emperor probably felt that it was not good for this woman to put his sweetheart's name in front of her head, so he just gave it away. What's more, among the four concubines, the virtuous and virtuous are at the bottom of the list of virtues, and the virtues are not possessed by Concubine Rong, which is enough to be ironic.

To sum up, although they were promoted, the two concubines were not very happy.

It is worth mentioning that Mrs. Mi was promoted to Concubine Mi, but Mrs. Wan remained unchanged, she only gave some rewards, and there was no order for promotion at all. It seems that what Mrs. Huiwan did to Qingxi made the emperor extremely disgusted, and she still can't stand up now.

Concubine Yu's status has not changed, but she has been given the title "Mei", and now she is Concubine Mei, which sounds like a no-brainer. Shen Yuqing felt that she had a lot of fun this morning, but it's a pity that she couldn't laugh as she wanted, otherwise it would be too hateful.

Concubine Mei's compatriot younger sister made a big splash. Not only was she promoted to Jieyu, but she was also given the title "Xi". It sounded more intentional than Concubine Mei, probably Concubine Mei was going to blow it up when she went back.

The rest of the people are basically promoted, but they are not very conspicuous.

The chief eunuch finished reading out the imperial edict for his promotion, and then took out another imperial edict and said: "The imperial concubine and Princess Qingxi accept the edict."

Shen Yuqing hastily pulled Qingxi, who had come to greet her mother once, to kneel down to accept the order, but Qingxi knelt down in a proper manner, while Shen Yuqing knelt on one knee under the cover of her skirt. People in the Jianghu also kneeled like this when they saw Emperor Xuanzong, so she was not happy to kneel on the ground. Fortunately, although the chief eunuch noticed something was wrong with his sharp eyes, he still chose to turn a blind eye to the difference in strength between himself and the opponent.

The purpose this time is to give Princess Qingxi to the noble concubine to raise, and then give her and Qingxi some rewards, and by the way, give Qingxi an imperial jade certificate.

Because children in the palace often die young, the Great Yan Dynasty usually gives the child a jade certificate after enlightenment, not only that, but also depends on whether it is favored. Those who are favored will go to school earlier, and those who are not favored can wait until their teens to marry a wife.

Princesses usually get the jade certificate after they move out to live alone at the age of ten, but now they get it directly. That is to say, in the future, no matter whether Qingxi lives well or dies accidentally, she will always be the big princess, and the younger sister will always be under the pressure of her.

You know, in the palace, it often happens that the eldest son dies at the age of four or five, so the second son becomes the eldest son after receiving the jade certificate. The existence of the child in front is basically equivalent to being erased. Apart from his biological mother, I am afraid that not many people will remember him.

It was a big event for the princess to present the jade ultimatum. After the eunuch read it out, everyone came forward to congratulate her. The empress is also very happy, but it's a pity that now Qingxi can't keep her by her side, otherwise she will directly use her status as the eldest princess to enter the jade certificate.

But in fact, it's nothing, after a while Madam Wan is tidied up, and then send Qingxi to the queen, Qingxi's status will be even more honorable at that time, the imperial jade will definitely have to be revised again. Now that she has become the daughter of a noble concubine, she is already very honorable. After all, the imperial concubine is often the same queen, if not for the current emperor's special respect for the empress, Shen Guifei might have climbed to the empress's head long ago.

Although the imperial concubine has no interest in climbing on the queen's head, she is very interested in climbing on the queen's body.

This time the empresses of the various palaces had some changes in their identities, as the high-ranking imperial concubine Ming naturally wanted to prepare generous gifts for the younger sisters below. Fortunately, she has always borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and the things she gave away were all given by the emperor

This time, the emperor rewarded her with two things for bestowing titles and entrusting her to raise her daughter. Leaving aside the first call, the second call was all good things. It seemed that she was afraid that she would treat his daughter badly and lose all her money.

The imperial concubine accepted it with peace of mind, and turned around and used the things she didn't like (this is the point) but were more expensive and not easy to carry, as rewards for her sisters. Not only that, the empress made the best use of herself, and directly asked the eunuchs who brought the rewards to carry them to other palaces one by one, and did not use the eunuchs in her own palace at all.

According to Concubine Shen Gui, the people in her own palace should stop doing tiresome things. The emperor sent coolies here, and it was not for nothing. Anyway, His Majesty is so generous, he wouldn't mind her borrowing it.

Does His Majesty the Emperor mind if everyone doesn't know, anyway, those little eunuchs are exhausted. Fortunately, the imperial concubine gave a lot of rewards, so it's not a loss.

Concubine Yishu and Concubine De received the most congratulatory gifts, all of which were bulky and large ornaments. When the two of them looked at these things, they felt that they took up space. The imperial concubine gave them such things several times with an excuse. It is estimated that there are not many big ones left in the imperial concubine's own warehouse. They are all exquisite and expensive gadgets, and the big ones are all Take it to occupy the warehouse of other concubines.

Concubine De is fine, she entered the palace not long ago, and there are not many things in the warehouse. Concubine Shu is having a headache, if this goes on, she won't be able to fit in her warehouse! However, the things Shen Guifei sent were not to her liking, and she felt that putting them in the room was an eyesore, which was really troublesome.

After thinking about it, she simply followed Shen Yuqing's example and rewarded the big guys she didn't like. Isn't she higher than Concubine De? Then give it to Concubine De, and distribute some to Concubine Mi and Concubine Mei below, it should be able to free up a lot of space.

Concubine Shen didn't care about what gifts Concubine Shu gave her younger sisters, she was now happily taking her daughter to see what the queen gave her.

Empress Fu obviously knew Shen Yuqing very well, and she only gave her what she liked. Not only that, but also gave some to Qingxi.

There are also gifts for the princess in the other palace, but they are all meanings. After all, the princess has a noble status, so it's really not their turn to give them a bunch of things, like a reward. The queen no longer had this concern, and sent a lot of things.

Qingxi has never played with any toys since she was a child, and now she is standing on the side watching intently, pointing to something to put into her room from time to time.

Shen Yuqing also pampered her, playing whatever she wanted. Anyway, Qingxi has a good foundation, is well-behaved and sensible, and doesn't know how to play with things, so it's good to let her play with more toys.

"Mother Concubine." Because she has become the daughter of a noble concubine, Qingxi can now call her Concubine Mother directly. She tightly grasped Shen Yuqing's clothes, leaned against her, and pointed to a jade ring, "This looks so difficult." .”

Shen Yuqing patted her head: "Don't be afraid, let your mother teach you."

"What if the queen mother doesn't know how?" Qingxi raised her head and asked.

"And your father." Shen Yuqing dumped the blame on His Majesty the Emperor without hesitation, "Your father is the most honorable person in the world, he will definitely. If he can't, it means he is not a good emperor. , you can laugh at him directly."

Qingxi was dumbfounded: "Oh..."

Shen Yuqing didn't know how to play Yu Lianhuan anyway, and wanted to smash it when she saw such a complicated one. However, considering that Yu Lianhuan was very expensive, it would be too much of a loss, so she held back.

Tomorrow the emperor will visit the banks of the Yangtze River in person and release the "dragons". After his return, he will order people to revise the jade certificate. He is still very busy. So tonight, instead of looking for my concubine Wencun, I came to Jianjia Palace to see my daughter, had a meal with her, and then went back to Zichen Palace to rest.

Shen Yuqing was very dissatisfied with the emperor's arrival, which prevented her from having a good dinner with the empress. There is no other way, I can only postpone it and wait until night to find the empress for supper. It just so happens that the daughter can be left in Jianjia Palace to sleep with the adults, so that the two cubs will not disturb their world.

His Majesty the Emperor always felt that he had forgotten a very important thing when he returned to his bedroom. What exactly was it

In the middle of the night, the imperial concubine filled her backpack with seasonings from the small kitchen of Jianjia Palace, and happily rushed into Fengyi Palace.

The empress had already expected her to come, and had been waiting for her in the room, reading some books by the way. I said before that I wanted to plant flowers, but nothing came of it, and the flower seedlings all withered. Concubine Shen firmly believed that it was because of the hot weather, and planned to go back to the palace with the queen to fight again.

Seeing Shen Yuqing come in through the window wretchedly again, she couldn't help laughing angrily: "Next time, go directly to the main entrance, I'll ask someone to leave the door for you."

Fengyi Palace is currently guarding the night with second-class maids, all of whom are the queen's confidantes, so there is nothing to worry about. There is absolutely no need for Shen Yuqing to engage in such sneaky things, it doesn't matter if she comes in openly.

But Shen Yuqing didn't think so: "This is what we call cheating. It's not called 'stealing' when we're upright. What we're playing is a kind of artistic conception."

"..." Empress Fu decided to ignore this woman directly.

But the imperial concubine didn't let her go, and insisted on coming over to tell her the philosophy of life that "a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than stealing", but in the end, a thin book by the empress directly smeared her face. She pressed Shen Yuqing's face through the book, and pushed it away: "It's hot, don't get so close to me."

Shen Yuqing felt like a fly being swat away.

Pulling the book off her face, Shen Yuqing had no choice but to change the subject. She fumbled furtively in her sleeve and took out a few packets of spices, which were actually taken from the system backpack.

As an NPC, Shen Yuqing has a system backpack, which can hold a lot of things. However, Shen Yuqing usually likes to put some poisons, antidote, hidden weapons, snacks, fine wine and treasures.

Note: All of them were found in the houses of friends and the palaces of various small countries.

In short, Concubine Shen Gui, as an unscrupulous night killer, apart from accepting commissions to kill people, her favorite thing to do is "robbing the rich and helping the poor". That's right, the poor is herself.

There's no way, who made her raise a man of gold and jade who uses pearls as cat litter.

Although, she was chased and killed many times by her friends for touching things, but it was not without benefits. After all, Qinggong has been practiced more and more proficiently, so far no one can catch up with her...

At this moment, Concubine Shen Gui took out a few packets of seasoning, which was considered rare. The condiments can't be eaten, the imperial concubine rarely wears this on her body, she likes to rob houses to find ready-made cooked food.

Empress Fu looked at her strangely: "What are you doing with these?"

Come on, come here, and bring the seasoning. Could it be that Shen Yuqing started to use seasoning as a gift instead

Shen Yuqing put the seasoning packet on the table and signaled her to be calm: "Wait."

Then jumped out the window again.

Fu Qiushui kind of returned to the time when Shen Yuqing went to toss the Kongming lanterns for her when she was on the mountain.

She simply put away the book, sat at the table with her chin propped up and waited quietly, to see what Shen Yuqing wanted to come up with again.

Not long after, Shen Yuqing moved in a copper pot, a small stove for heating with charcoal in winter, a few pieces of silver frost charcoal, a pile of prepared ingredients, two sets of dishes and two large pots of water. She set up the stove, lit the charcoal fire, put the copper pot on it, poured in the seasoning and the broth she found, took out a small paper bag, and threw the sliced dry leaves inside into the pot.

I don't know what the leaves are, but they are still green and tender after drying. As soon as it entered the pot, the pot began to emit a craving aroma.

Fu Qiushui was not hungry at first, but he was a little hungry after smelling it.

"I got this from my friend. She called it bracken. It's delicious when served in hot pot, and it can also be fresh." Shen Yuqing explained, and followed the hot pot she stole from her friend Du Jie. The recipe started throwing some weird ingredients into it.

When the soup base was almost ready, she called Fu Qiushui to cook hot pot together.

It took a long time to have supper with Fu Qiushui, and to eat hot pot on a hot day, I don't know what she thought.

Shen Yuqing plausibly said: "I suddenly want to eat."

Hot pot is a delicacy in the world, of course, you want to eat it all year round.

Empress Fu was speechless for a while, and obediently picked up the chopsticks and started cooking the sliced meat.

It is also difficult for Shen Yuqing to touch so many materials from the small kitchen of Fengyi Palace in such a short period of time, and deal with them one by one. The hot pot soup base is delicious, and it can be delicious without dipping sauce.

Shen Yuqing's friend Du Jie is a native of Sichuan. She likes to make oil dishes when eating hot pot. She just takes a bowl and pours sesame oil, salt, coriander, peanuts, etc. into it to make a dipping sauce. However, Shen Yuqing usually likes to stay in the south of the Yangtze River, and she doesn't pay much attention to eating hot pot there, so she just ate it. The soup base is already delicious, there is no need to add any more dipping sauce.

Fu Qiushui was very satisfied, never had such a delicious hot pot. If I didn't pay attention, I was full. After all, I had dinner before, and I haven't digested much yet.

She put down her chopsticks regretfully, touched her slightly protruding belly, and sighed: "Your friend is really amazing."

It can be prepared with such a delicious hot pot base.

Dayan also pays attention to the fact that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, and even generally a little richer family will not let their daughter cook by themselves. Occasionally make dim sum soup for your husband to enhance the relationship, no one will hang out in the kitchen every day.

Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to study such delicious food. Unless they are food lovers, they are basically top chefs somewhere.

But Dayan's food lovers... are basically the kind who are very old, indifferent to fame and wealth, and enjoy the mountains and rivers. I like to travel around and taste the tastes of the world, and many of them also like to pursue the original flavor.

Fu Qiushui couldn't help sighing: "He must be a carefree and carefree person, right?"

The reason why I ask this question is because Dayan's food lovers pay attention to the word "fate", and think that only when the fate comes, can they eat the top delicacies. So when I came to a place, I didn't force myself to taste the most delicious food, I just felt that my fate was not enough. Because of his free and easy travel, he is called Yuan Ke by the world.

Shen Yuqing thought back about her petty and vengeful friend, who hid a knife in her smile, had explosive force, and had a bad stomach, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

Idle clouds and wild cranes? Feel free? Fate

Hehe, it doesn't exist.

For a person like Sister Du, where do you go to eat delicious food, do you dare to give her the best? Gu insects serve. You were bitten so red and swollen that your parents didn't recognize you.

It is best for Shen Yuqing to answer her family Qiushui's inquiry cautiously and tactfully: "My friend, she is a poisonous bug...and studies what to eat because...a lot of times, the more delicious things are, the better they are. The more poisonous... well, that's it..."

However, she herself is invulnerable to all poisons, so she doesn't care whether it is poisonous or not. The formula that Shen Yuqing stole from her teacher was improved in many ways, and she replaced it with ingredients that tasted the same but were non-toxic before she dared to feed it to Fu Qiushui.

In fact, bracken can detoxify, but it is very painful to detoxify while being poisoned. It is not a pleasure to have toxins collide in the body, so she is reluctant to let Fu Qiushui suffer this crime.

As for Shen Yuqing herself, it doesn't matter, after all, she has been trained by Mingjiao since she was a child, and many poisons have no effect on her.

Fu Qiushui: "..."

It sounds dangerous.

So Shen Yuqing and her friends, who are they...

After finishing the hot pot, Concubine Shen quickly put all the pots and pans back to their original positions, and then ignored it. As for whether the cook suddenly found so many unwashed pots and bowls when she woke up tomorrow, whether she thought she had seen hell or not was none of her business.

After eating the hot pot, she smelled all over her body, Shen Yuqing cheekily took her daughter-in-law's little hand and proposed to take a bath together. Fu Qiushui withdrew his paw mercilessly: "No."

Then he went in to take a shower.

Before leaving, he left a sentence, "Do you dare to accidentally break in and try", which successfully calmed down someone who was about to move.

Shen Yuqing regretfully gave up the little Jiujiu in her heart, broke through once yesterday, and can't come again today. If the frequency is too high, everyone knows there is a problem.

It's a pity that I didn't see anything yesterday, Qiu Shui reacted too quickly, and wrapped himself in clothes in minutes. Then, she was kicked out, and she couldn't see anything.

She has been chasing after her daughter-in-law for so long, but she has failed to kiss her little mouth. I heard from Jiyou that she flirts with people every three or two days, and I don't know if it's true or not, which is really enviable.

When the daughter-in-law came out after washing, she was wrapped tightly. Concubine Shen Gui stared at the pajamas for a long while, she was sure that it could not be untied automatically, so she obediently went to take a bath.

It doesn't matter, you can hug your daughter-in-law when you sleep at night, and wait for someone to fall asleep... hehehe.

So in the middle of the night, someone quietly moved up the hand resting on the waist of the daughter-in-law.

Move up little by little.

then.

"Snapped!"

Without even opening his eyes, Fu Qiushui said to someone who was close to him behind him, "Don't move your hands or feet."

"..." Didn't fall asleep!

Forget it, when Wu Gengtian's daughter-in-law has already fallen asleep, she will sneak another kiss!

Hmph, this time it must be a success!

The next day, the imperial concubine returned to Jianjia Palace early for an unprecedented time.

Usually, she would procrastinate and procrastinate until she could no longer procrastinate, then she would return to Jianjia Palace, and then she would tidy up and take the adults to pay her respects. I didn't do this today. Could it be that procrastination has been cured

Bi Ge brought the palace clothes in doubt, and was thinking about it while serving her mother to get dressed.

"Where's Qingfeng?" Concubine Shen Gui asked, "Let him pass on the meals."

"Your Majesty is going to have breakfast at Jianjia Palace today?" Bi Ge was very surprised.

It's not a festival, how can you eat in your own palace? Could it be that the queen doesn't care about food now

Shen Guifei glared at her: "Where are so many nonsense? I am going to have breakfast at Jian Jia Palace today."

Doesn't she want to dine in Fengyi Palace? Isn't this, Fu Qiushui won't let her continue eating!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help touching her waist, and took a breath quietly, the daughter-in-law has really strong hands...

The author has something to say: Although, she was chased and killed by her friends many times because of touching things, but it is not without benefits.

—If you don’t know each other without beating, you will become friends after being beaten!

I heard from Jiyou Jiyou that she flirts with people every time for three or two days, but I don't know if it's true or not.

—Some lies should not be said indiscriminately, wait for the senior sister to come to the house, and doge boasted for a while, and regretted it heartbroken

Miss Er and Sister Pao make friends by flirting with beauties, and Sister Miao makes friends by touching things.
