Chapter 150 Well, he was wrong after all
???
Shen Chaoyan was stunned. She, she, she, was promoted to a higher status?
Didn't she get the position of imperial concubine too easily?
However, her title is 'Hua'. She didn't think it was anything special before, but now it has suddenly become 'Hua Fei'. Why does it sound so familiar?
Tianshu: [Host, many of the palace fighting dramas and palace fighting novels you have watched before have the character of Hua Fei, and she is also a villain.]
Shen Chaoyan: [Yes, yes, yes! I remember it! Do you think there is a possibility of changing the title?]
Tianshu: [I haven't found such a precedent in this Tianshu. Isn't it good to be called Hua Fei? Just looking at these two words, I feel an inexplicable sense of domineering. Anyway, our goal is not just the position of imperial concubine, so let's use this title for now! Shen Chaoyan :
Tianshu, you are too proud. Wasn't our original goal to reach the end? Why don't you even care about the position of concubine now?
Tianshu: I didn't know that the tyrant liked you at first! Now if you work harder, you can strive for the position of empress!
Shen Chaoyan: It's not that easy to be an empress. You have to manage all the affairs of the six palaces, maintain order in the harem, and preside over some sacrificial ceremonies. It's very busy!
Tianshu: You can cultivate a few more confidants at that time. These things can be handed over to your subordinates. The empress holds the phoenix seal, and she is an authoritative existence in the harem. Moreover, if your son ascends the throne in the future, you will be the empress dowager, and the empress dowager will be even more powerful. Not only will your words carry weight in front of the emperor, but all other concubines in the harem will have to bow and greet the empress dowager when they see her. Since we have entered the palace, we should make it bigger and stronger, strive to become the empress dowager, and create brilliance! 】
Shen Chaoyan: [Hearing what you said, we can indeed set a small goal and work hard to become the empress dowager. Of course, the most important thing is that we exercise our bodies. Being the empress dowager is not only about intelligence, but also about who has a longer lifeline and can only become the empress dowager by outlasting the emperor! 】
Sikong Yan listened to her discussion with Tianshu as if no one was around, "!!!"
Outlast the emperor?
She thought she was outlasting an eagle!
This woman is really bold. She has set such a far-reaching goal for herself just after she was promoted to a concubine.
It seems that he can't just focus on reviewing memorials and handling state affairs in the future. He must strengthen his exercise and must not be like his father, a short-lived emperor.
When the Queen Mother saw that Sikong Yan directly promoted Shen Chaoyan to the position of concubine, she couldn't help but speak, "Emperor, Hua Concubine has only been in the palace for a few months. It is not in accordance with the rules to promote her several levels. It would not be too late to wait until she has an heir in the future."
Sikong Yan walked in front of Shen Chaoyan and held her hand, "Mother, Hua Concubine and I are both young and strong. It is only a matter of time before we have children. Lest there be some short-sighted people who have no respect for the superior and think that the position of concubine is too low and speak nonsense here."
Lin Qianqian didn't expect that just because she said Shen Chaoyan was a mere concubine, Sikong Yan promoted Shen Chaoyan to the position of concubine on the spot.
This honor is unique since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty!
When Shen Chaoyan saw that the Queen Mother had spoken to stop her from getting promoted, she quickly bowed and saluted, confirming her position as a concubine, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace! In the future, I will serve you more wholeheartedly and have children for the royal family as soon as possible!"
She wanted to decide when to have a baby, and she must make her own decision.
But in order to shut up the Queen Mother, some things had to be said.
You know, the monthly allowance of a concubine is much higher than that of a concubine. You can be picky about anything, but you can't be picky about money!
The Queen Mother thought that when there were only a few concubines in the palace, Sikong Yan often didn't even set foot in the harem and stayed in the Yangxin Palace all day.
It was rare that Shen Chaoyan could win his favor, so let him be happy.
They were both very young, and they would have children sooner or later.
The Queen Mother glanced at Lin Qianqian lying on the ground, raised her hand and pressed her forehead, "I am tired, everything should be done according to the emperor's wishes. Suqiu, help me go back and rest."
"Yes."
When Suqiu helped the Queen Mother pass by Lin Qianqian, Lin Qianqian reached out and grabbed the hem of the Queen Mother's clothes, "Queen Mother, don't you care about your minister anymore?" The Queen Mother
shook off her hand and glanced at her coldly, "Just go back to the Lin Mansion and wait for your marriage!"
After saying this, the Queen Mother left without looking back.
She didn't want to care about Lin Qianqian's troubles anymore.
This girl didn't make up for herself, and others wanted to help her, but they couldn't help her, a piece of useless stuff!
Feiyan Palace.
As soon as Shen Chaoyan returned, Sikong Yan's gifts came in like a stream.
Boxes of gold, silver, jade, and jadeite jewelry were moved into Shen Chaoyan's private storehouse.
Various silks and satins, including Yanyu Cup, Yuehua Brocade, Fuguang Brocade, Ruanyan Luo, Yunwu Xiao, and Qingchan Yi, were piled in front of Shen Chaoyan for her to make new clothes. The
dazzling array of gifts dazzled Shen Chaoyan's eyes.
Even the food was more than twice as rich as before.
No wonder the concubines in the harem were trying their best to climb up, the treatment of concubines was really too good!
In the evening, Sikong Yan came to have dinner with Shen Chaoyan, "It was too hasty to confer you the title of concubine today, it's really unfair to you."
Shen Chaoyan waved her hands quickly, "No, I don't feel wronged at all!"
Boxes of real treasures were carried into her warehouse, how could she feel wronged?
"By the way, according to the rules, concubines can live in a palace alone, which palace do you want to live in? Or I can arrange you to live closer to the Qianqing Palace?" "
Your Majesty, the Feiyan Palace is quiet, and I'm used to living here, can we not move?"
If you live too close to the tyrant, you will see him every now and then, and it will be easy to get tired of each other after a long time.
It's better to be farther away, distance creates beauty!
Sikong Yan listened to her coquettish tone, pondered for a moment, and nodded, "Then it's up to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
That's great, living far away, the frequency of serving the emperor in the future can be reduced.
Sikong Yan: "..." Well, after all, he was wrong.
The weather was getting colder day by day, and winter came in a blink of an eye.
Shen Chaoyan is now a concubine, and her treatment has been improved. The palace has floor heating, and it is warm wherever she goes. It's so comfortable.
The days in the harem passed in an orderly manner, and soon the end of the year was approaching.
When Shen Chaoyan was having a meal with Sikong Yan, she heard that the King of Yanbei, who was far away in his fiefdom, would bring his family to Beijing.
According to custom, they would stay in Beijing for a while, and then return to their fiefdom after the New Year.
Shen Chaoyan was very curious about who the King of Yanbei was.
Tianshu immediately answered her questions: [The King of Yanbei is the younger brother of the late emperor, fifteen years younger than the late emperor. Before the late emperor passed away, he was granted the title of vassal king. Over the years, he has been law-abiding in his fiefdom. The late emperor also valued this younger brother and would summon him to the palace every year to celebrate the New Year together. Although the late emperor passed away, this rule has not changed. ]
Shen Chaoyan: [Besides him, will there be other vassal kings coming to Beijing? 】
Heavenly Book: [No, the late emperor had only three brothers, two of whom died before him, and now only the King of Yanbei is left. Speaking of which, this Heavenly Book happens to have a melon about the King of Yanbei. 】
Shen Chaoyan immediately became excited: [What melon? Tell me about it! 】
Heavenly Book: [The King of Yanbei has actually always liked the Queen Mother. 】
