Chapter 9 Concubine Yao reveals
her beauty Emperor Qingling looked gloomy, waved his hand and said: "My dear ministers, please leave. Wei Weiran, take Master Jiang to the study room and wait for me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wei Weiran knelt down and said.
Afterwards, Emperor Qingling walked towards Concubine Yao, and regardless of the eyes of the crowd, he directly picked her up.
Concubine Yao put her hand on Emperor Qingling's chest, blushed, and pushed him and said: "Your Majesty, don't embarrass Yao He in front of everyone."
Emperor Qingling chuckled and said: "I love you, what does it have to do with others? You fell into the water and caught a cold, and it is inconvenient for you to move. I will personally send you back to the palace!"
In the envious eyes of the crowd, Emperor Qingling strode away.
During this month, Lady Mu had been favored. Emperor Qingling suddenly favored Concubine Yao. All the concubines present looked at Lady Mu vaguely, clearly waiting to see a joke.
Lady Mu rolled her eyes in anger and walked away.
The faces of He Yuanjiang and Grand Tutor He suddenly changed.
Grand Tutor He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Mu'er..."
The Queen took over the conversation and looked at Grand Tutor He, "Grand Tutor He, don't mind it. Mu'er is the youngest in the palace. This palace and the Emperor favor her more. It's probably because the Emperor favors Concubine Yao and she is jealous."
As soon as these words came out, the concubines laughed.
The Queen's words sounded like she was saying that He Muer was innocent and naive, which was rare in the palace, but in fact she was implying that the He family was disrespectful to the Queen and had no regard for the superior or the inferior.
Grand Tutor He and He Yuanjiang immediately knelt down, saying in awe: "Your Majesty, please calm down."
The Queen smiled and stepped forward to help Grand Tutor He up: "Grand Tutor He, when did I get angry? Look at you, you make me not know what to do."
Grand Tutor He came with the late emperor. Not to mention her, even the emperor had to give Grand Tutor He some face.
With the help of the empress, Grand Tutor He stood up and said, "Empress, Mu'er has a bad temper and is the youngest in the family, so it is inevitable that she is a little spoiled. But since she has entered the palace, she should abide by her duties and respect the empress. If she is so unreasonable again in the future, the empress should teach her a lesson."
His words were sincere.
But listening carefully, he was protecting He Mu'er.
Although he kept saying that he could teach He Mu'er a lesson, he specifically pointed out that He Mu'er was his apple of his eye. If He Mu'er got into trouble, his He family would definitely not be willing. Relying on
the status of Grand Tutor He, no one thought there was anything wrong with him saying this.
The Queen smiled and teased: "I love her so much, how can I teach her a lesson? Master He is really good at joking." Master He
also laughed: "The Queen is magnanimous, it is her blessing, and it is also the blessing of the people of Daling."
The Queen pursed her lips and chuckled, glanced at the ministers, and put her hand on the arm of the nanny, very elegant.
"It's getting late, I still have to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, so I'll leave first."
The Queen turned around and left, and the concubines of each palace also knelt down and saluted to follow her.
The ministers also knelt down and saluted: "Farewell, Queen."
Many people couldn't sleep tonight, only Chengqian Palace was happy, from the master to the servants, everyone was full of smiles.
It rained at night and the road was wet, but the daily morning and evening visits were essential. The concubines from all palaces went to Jingren Palace early in the morning. The room was full of young girls, chattering about the affairs of Concubine Chun and Concubine Yao.
"Today is the first day that Concubine Yao came to Jingren Palace to pay her respects after she was released from confinement, but she is late. Could it be that she is just like Noble Mu, with no regard for the elderly and the inferiors?"
"Concubine Yao is really proud now. She just gave birth to a princess and is so favored by the emperor. We are so jealous of her."
"No matter how favored Concubine Yao is, she is just a concubine in the palace. How can she be compared with the Empress?"
"Oh, Shu Xiuyi is actually complimenting the Empress today, making it seem like we sisters are speechless."
The Empress sat on the main seat, holding her forehead, frowning and looking at the people in the audience, looking quite majestic.
"Well, Concubine Yao just gave birth to a daughter, and she was favored last night. The emperor can't help but feel distressed. You have been in the palace for many years, but you haven't given the emperor a prince or princess. It's fine, but you still talk about Concubine Yao like this. It's really unruly!"
The few who just spoke immediately stood up and knelt down: "I know my fault, Queen, please forgive me."
As soon as the voice fell, Concubine Yao's voice rang out.
"Why is the Queen so angry?"
The concubines stood up and knelt down.
"Greetings to Concubine Yao."
Concubine Yao stepped forward and stood in front of the Queen, kneeling down to salute.
The empress sat up straight, raised her hand towards Concubine Yao, and said with a smile: "You are now a great hero in the palace, hurry up."
Concubine Yao stood up and sat directly on her seat, then looked at the concubines who were still kneeling: "Sisters, please stand up."
"Thank you, Concubine Yao."
Concubine Yao was gentle, generous, and very beautiful. She was very eye-catching in this room of concubines. With her around, everyone else seemed to automatically lose their luster and become a supporting role.
The Queen looked at Concubine Yao carefully and said with a smile: "I have noticed that Concubine Yao has become even more beautiful after giving birth, and her face has become more beautiful and smoother. I think falling into the water last night did not affect you. I was still worried that Concubine Yao would be seriously ill, but it seems that I was worrying too much."
Shu Xiuyi took her handkerchief to cover her face and laughed, teasing: "Have you forgotten, Queen? Concubine Yao was a person who received the emperor's favor last night. With the emperor by her side, she was naturally cured and full of energy."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the concubines present sank.
Concubine Yao also looked at this Shu Xiuyi.
She didn't remember where she had offended this Shu Xiuyi, why was she targeting her like this?
"The Emperor missed the princess, so he naturally stayed in my palace. Besides, yesterday was Ying'an's full-month banquet, but it was ruined by Concubine Chun. The Emperor favors me, and I am really spoiled. Shu Xiuyi, on the other hand, has been in the palace for many years, but she still has no children. She should take care of herself. It is important to get pregnant as soon as possible."
Concubine Yao smiled, but there was a deep meaning in her eyes, and her tone was quite dissatisfied.
The Queen frowned slightly.
Concubine Yao was gentle and generous before, and she never disdained the struggle in the harem. If she hadn't relied on being the daughter of the Prime Minister and her stunning appearance to win the Emperor's favor, she would never have been in her current position.
But now Concubine Yao has become more and more delicate and lovely. Even after giving birth to a child, her face has no wrinkles, and her figure is more round, plump and graceful.
And her temper has also become sharp.
Based on her understanding of the emperor, such a Concubine Yao will not make the emperor feel disgusted, but will make him love Concubine Yao more.
A thorny beauty.
To everyone in the harem, she is an opponent.
Shu Xiuyi, who had just teased Concubine Yao, also had a sullen face and frowned.
Although she has been in the palace for many years, her background is not outstanding, and she is not loved by the emperor. It is not because of her body that she has no children. It is obvious that the emperor does not go to her palace.
She couldn't do it even if she wanted to.
"What the Empress Yao is saying is that I was rude."
The Empress Yao looked away, stood up and knelt, saying, "The Empress, I have to go back to the palace. It's time for the princess to make trouble." The Empress
forced a gentle smile and said, "Go ahead."
The Empress Yao knelt and saluted, "Thank you, the Empress."
Then she turned and left. Before leaving, she stopped in front of Shu Xiuyi for a moment, glanced at her from the side, and her eyes were smiling and warning, but quite cold.
Shu Xiuyi and the other concubines stood up and knelt, saying, "Farewell, Lady Yao."
Lady Yao stood still, looked back at the other concubines, and said in a deep voice, "I used to have a better temper and was more tolerant of you. I won't be like that in the future. I hope you sisters will understand. This is really a cold palace, and I am very scared."
After leaving this sentence, Lady Yao turned away.
For Ying'an's future, whether she is willing or not, she must fight for a bloody road in this palace.
She wants to be second to none in this palace!
