The Noble Consort’s Pet Empress

Chapter 4: ④ Yun Xiang

Views:

Don't worry about dealing with Su Qiaoxin, anyway, that's all Concubine Shen's strategies. If you can't speak, just hit it. She doesn't know what it means to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade. As an "arrogant and domineering" concubine, slaps and the like are naturally commonplace.

However, Concubine Shen usually does not have this opportunity to do it herself. Miss Manchen seems to be afraid that their concubine's concubine will not be able to control her strength and beat people up badly, so she always strikes first. Several concubines failed to sue, and later learned to be good. They would never say anything so excessive that they would be beaten. In this way, they only had to bear the "venomous tongue" of the imperial concubine.

Concubine Shen felt very regretful, and she wanted to try whether it was really cool to slap her face.

In the past, Shen Yuqing always fought with a machete, but she had never tried without a weapon. I heard from my friend Beggar that beating people with a stick is quite cool, but it is a pity that Shen Yuqing has never learned how to use a stick, and as a concubine, she is not suitable for using a stick.

This time when newcomers enter the palace, there will always be a few short-sighted ones, right

Shen Yuqing decided to seize the opportunity and not let Manchen take it.

"Niang Niang." Seeing his mistress's eyes full of eagerness to try, Man Xing had a bad premonition in his heart, and couldn't help but stepped forward to wake up the person who was immersed in fantasy.

"What are you doing?" Concubine Shen Gui came back to her senses and asked calmly.

The adult curled up in Man Xing's arms to sleep, and when he heard Shen Yuqing's voice, he squeezed out a small head from under Man Xing's plump chest, stuck it in the ditch, with a happy expression on his face. The corners of Shen Yuqing's mouth twitched, this perverted cat, obviously she is a female, why does she always like to drill her breasts.

Man Xing has long been used to it, and while rubbing his lord's head, he said to the imperial concubine: "The queen empress sent a list, let you see if there is anything inappropriate."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and asked Bi Yan, the second-class maid in charge of chores, to deliver the things.

It wasn't anything important, Shen Yuqing unfolded it, and it turned out to be the list of this year's showgirls. Only the names of a few people are listed on it, and the position to be given and the palace to live in are written.

The position was originally determined by the emperor, but the palace was something that the queen could intervene. However, if the emperor trusts the empress very much, these empresses can decide, just give the emperor a final look. Shen Yuqing is just a noble concubine, and she didn't assist in managing the harem, so she doesn't need to look at these things.

However, the queen sent her here for her face, so she naturally wanted to take a look.

There are only a few concubines with good family backgrounds who need attention on the list. As for those who are not competitive, there are naturally no ones. The emperor is not lustful, although the general election is held as scheduled, it is estimated that not many people will be selected into the palace, not to mention that he still has a white moonlight in his heart.

In addition to Su Qiao who gave the highest position, there was also the second lady of Yu's family who was on the right, who was given to Zhaoyi who was the fourth rank. This young lady of the Yu family is still a biological sister to Concubine Yu in the palace, and they are also twin sisters. Three years ago in the general election, the two sisters were both fifteen, but unfortunately, the younger sister, Ms. Yu, suddenly suffered from an emergency and her face was almost ruined. Naturally, she couldn't participate in the general election. So only concubine Yu entered the palace, while Miss Yu waited for three years.

At first glance, there is something tricky in it, and I don't know if this "sudden emergency" has anything to do with Concubine Yu.

In addition, there is also a lady from the An family of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. The queen means to give a Shuyuan from the fourth grade Shuyuan. There was also Miss Liu, the Minister of Dali Temple, who gave Ronghua of the fifth grade to her, and she disappeared.

This year's timing is good. In the first three years, the girls were either not selected in the general election, or they couldn't afford to wait and got engaged directly. This year, there are not many noble girls of the right age who are waiting for a job in Beijing. Some families are reluctant to enter the palace to be tortured.

The emperor is not lustful, and he is not an incompetent emperor who relies on his concubines to win over his courtiers, so these are easy to discuss. The queen didn't make it difficult for them, she just agreed.

Shen Yuqing looked at the list with only four names and thought for a while, then smiled slightly.

Su Qiaoxin gave the imperial concubine this position, really to give face to the Grand Master, or to say, to give face to Miss Su's family. Even the right prime minister's daughter is only a fourth-rank Zhaoyi, and Su Qiaoxin has been a second-rank concubine since she came, so the hatred is well established. Let's put some wax on this girl first, I'm afraid that before Shen Yuqing makes a move, she will be teased by the women in the palace in turn.

The palaces these newcomers stayed in were basically occupied by people. Miss Yu's family and Miss Liu's family both went to Concubine Yu's Changzui Palace. After meeting Concubine Yu, they might not have a good life. Miss An's family is the most unlucky, her Feiyue Palace has an owner, coincidentally, it is Concubine Bailianhua Shu.

Queen is so bad.

There is only one Yunxiang palace where Su Qiaoxin lives alone and no one is left. This one is circled. It seems that it is not the queen's master, but the emperor's intention. The position of Yunxiang Palace is opposite to Jianjia Palace, one is in the East Fourth Palace and the other is in the West Fourth Palace, both of which are the closest palaces to the emperor's residence, Zichen Palace. For concubines, this position is the best except Fengyi Palace, so... Su Qiaoxin's hatred value is going to explode again.

Shen Yuqing put away the list and said to Man Xing: "I don't have any objections, so let it be."

After giving the answer, the little eunuch of Fengyi Palace went back to report.

Shen Yuqing called Que Ri, the chief eunuch of Jianjia Palace, who was in charge of inquiring information on a daily basis.

"How much do you know about the two ladies of the Grand Master's family?" Shen Yuqing asked.

Que Ri immediately replied: "These two young ladies are both very good-looking, they are the famous noble girls in Beijing's middle row, and they don't worry about marrying. Especially the eldest lady, Su Qiaorong, is dignified and virtuous. She really made a splash in Beijing. The second lady, Su Qiaoxin... "

"Wait." Shen Yuqing interrupted him, "The older one is called Su Qiaorong?"

"Go back to your mother, yes."

Shen Yuqing was thoughtful.

Yun Xiang's clothes are fancy and Xiangrong, no wonder the emperor wants to live in Yunxiang Palace for Su Qiaoxin, that palace is probably not for Su Qiaoxin, but for "Su Qiaorong's substitute". The emperor was really devoted, and he only suffered from the group of obsessive women in the harem.

"Yunxiang Palace, was it called Yunxiang Palace before?" Shen Yuqing suddenly thought of this.

No wonder she thought of this, because there is another palace in the palace that has been renamed, and it is the Xianlu Palace where Mrs. Mi from Loulan lived. A month ago, it wasn't called Xianlu Palace, it was Madam Mi who changed the name after she moved in, which made the women in the harem jealous, and by the way, Concubine Shen also became "sick".

Que Ri thought about it carefully: "Yunxiang Palace was originally called Guanju Palace, which is opposite to Jianjia Palace. The name was only changed two years ago. It's been idle."

In the "Book of Songs", there are two most famous love poems, one is "Guan Ju", which says "Guan Guan Jujiu is on the continent of the river", and the other is "Jianjia", which says "Jianjia is pale and dew is frost". If Yunxiang Palace used to be called Guanju Palace, then it would be normal, with relative positions and relative names, in line with the symmetrical aesthetics of the ancients.

And two years ago... Su Qiaoxin was fifteen years old and ready to marry. But she pushed back all the engagements and wanted to enter the palace wholeheartedly.

Shen Yuqing hugged the adult who jumped into her arms, and smoothed her hair. It seems that the emperor has been planning this plan for two years, and he is waiting for Su Qiaoxin to enter the palace this year.

"This is a good thing." Shen Yuqing nodded the table and looked at Man Xing, "When Ms. Su enters the palace, I will explain the reason for changing the name of Yunxiang Palace to others. I think Ms. Su will also like this idea."

First create a momentum for Su Qiaoxin, lift her up into the sky, set her up as a target, and then throw her down hard. In this way, His Majesty the Emperor should be very happy, right

Man Xing smiled and nodded: "Yes, ma'am."

Shen Yuqing carried the cat back to the inner hall to rest, lying on the bed and thinking about it, she felt that she was really a sin, and she was becoming more and more like a vicious villain. People are pitiful for the "hostess" who hasn't entered the palace yet, she is rushing to create setbacks for others, and even plotting poisonous schemes against her, there is no one else.

But who asked Shen Yuqing to take the emperor's salary to do things for the emperor? The customer is God, so I can only wrong this ill-intentioned Ms. Su.

Master Cat stepped on Shen Yuqing's belly and climbed up to her chest, stepped left and right, found a comfortable position in the middle of the soft flesh, lay down happily, yawned a little and fell asleep. Fortunately, this cat is small, not as big as two palms, otherwise Shen Yuqing would be overwhelmed by it.

Looking at the cat on her chest, Shen Yuqing decided not to think about it anymore. That person's money is for others - eliminate disasters, don't care who is right and wrong, and do your own work well first.

Close your eyes and go to sleep, tomorrow the Cai Nu will be re-elected, she has to show up.

On the second day, it was rare for Concubine Shen to go out in full dress. The target - the East Fourth Palace was closest to the Chuxiu Palace of the previous dynasty, which was also the place where newcomers participated in the re-election.

Accompanied by Man Xing, Que Ri and three second-class eunuchs, Concubine Shen sat on a soft sedan chair, embraced Mrs. Mao who was still awake, and soon arrived at Chuxiu Palace. At this moment, the show girls are really gathered in the west side hall waiting to be summoned.

Two eunuchs with big arms and round waists guarded the door of the side hall, not allowing anyone to approach. The show girls listened to the noise coming from the yard, and they were scratching their heads with curiosity, but they didn't dare to go over to watch the excitement.

Among the group of show girls, there were those who were sought after by the crowd, they looked much more stable than ordinary people, and they didn't stretch their necks to look around. For example, Su Qiaoxin, who occupies the best position, spends all her time arranging her clothes and doesn't care about the movement outside at all.

"Aren't sister Su curious?" A girl in pink who looked timid asked softly.

Su Qiaoxin glanced at her: "Why are you curious? The emperor is not coming today, and the high-ranking concubines and concubines are just passing by outside. What's there to see?"

The girl's eyes widened slightly, a little disappointed: "Your Majesty won't come?"

I thought I could see the emperor!

Su Qiaoxin glanced at the direction of the palace gate, feeling unhappy. It is true that the emperor will not come, and the family has inquired about it. This time, only the empress and the noble concubine will preside over the re-election, and even the empress dowager is not going to attend. What does this mean? This shows that the emperor didn't care about these beautiful girls at all, and the queen mother didn't take them seriously.

But it doesn't matter, Su Qiaoxin knows that she will definitely enter the palace, and sooner or later she will have a chance to meet the emperor.
