Chapter 16 The shortest-lived tyrant emperor in history is finally here!
Shen Qingwan's face was rosy, and she no longer had the arrogance and despair she had when she was escorted out of Yanbo Lane by the yamen runners.
She wore a light blue Ruyi long skirt, and a warm and delicate jade hairpin was inserted in her bun, which set off her fair skin and graceful figure.
Meeting Shen Chaoyan's surprised eyes, she raised her red lips with a smile, "Why is my sister here? That's why I am here."
As she took two steps forward and left the sunlight behind, Shen Chaoyan finally discovered that a faint halo had lit up above her head again.
Wow!
Her halo of the heroine has lit up again, but it's not as bright and dazzling as the first time she saw it.
As expected of the heroine, she is like an indestructible cockroach, with such a strong vitality!
Shen Chaoyan knew that he could not get a single truth out of Shen Qingwan, so he simply used his mind to ask the Book of Heaven.
[Book of Heaven, why didn’t you tell me in advance that Shen Qingwan was also in the palace?]
Book of Heaven: [Host, you have never taken the initiative to ask me about Shen Qingwan’s situation.]
Ever since Shen Qingwan was captured, Shen Chaoyan mistakenly thought that she was offline.
Who would have thought that she was an indestructible cockroach?
Shen Chaoyan: [Okay, it’s my negligence. I’m asking you now, why is she in the palace?]
Book of Heaven: [The third prince gave her a fake identity and asked someone to get her in.
Shen Chaoyan: [This Third Prince is really a wicked man, but since I can destroy her halo as a heroine once, I can destroy her a second time!] However
, Shen Chaoyan did not show her true thoughts.
"The fact that your biological father was fooling around with a woman of dust outside has been exposed. Now anyone who has anything to do with your biological father is covered in stench. How can you still participate in the talent show?" "
What does Zhao Qingwan's biological father have to do with me, Shen Qingwan?"
Shen Qingwan came closer and said in a low voice, "Zhao Qingwan was implicated by her disgraced biological father and has been hanged in prison and died."
So that's it!
So, they are destined to compete in the palace.
Shen Chaoyan was not at all flustered, and she also raised her lips to her, "Then I would like to congratulate you first. I wonder where you live? I will come to visit you when I have time in the future."
Shen Qingwan replied, "I was named Wanpin and lived in Jinhua Palace. There is also a Zhaoyi living in the palace."
Shen Chaoyan couldn't hold back the fake smile on her face.
Damn it!
Why was she named the fifth rank as soon as she entered the palace, two levels higher than her!
So angry!
The Heavenly Book detected her negative emotional fluctuations and offered help for the first time: [Host, I have books such as "Self-cultivation of Concubines", "Survival Manual of the Harem", "One Palace Fighting Skill a Day", "How to Become a Favored Concubine Quickly and Efficiently in One Month", "Analysis of Failed Palace Fighting Cases in Past Years", "Five Years of Palace Fighting, Three Years of Empress", etc. Do you need to read them?]
Shen Chaoyan was not in the mood to read these books for the time being.
However, with the Heavenly Book in hand, she was indeed more confident in her heart when facing Shen Qingwan, "Then I would like to congratulate you in advance and wish you a smooth career in the future."
Ugh! It was a big fall from the blue!
Shen Chaoyan knew very well that Shen Qingwan had only one purpose in entering the palace, to help the third prince seize the throne.
In this process, the Shen family will become the victim of the struggle for imperial power.
And she will never let the tragedy of extermination happen to the Shen family.
Shen Qingwan wants to overthrow the tyrant and send the third prince to the throne, right?
Okay, then she will help the tyrant and let him sit on the dragon chair for a long time!
Shen Qingwan pointed to the jewelry and rouge powder held by the palace maids behind her, and said to her with a smile, "I was so busy talking about the past with my sister that I forgot about the business. These are gifts for my sister. Let's move around more often in the palace in the future."
Shen Chaoyan scanned the things in the tray and said to her politely, "Look, you just came, why do you bring gifts?"
"My sister and I have known each other outside the palace. I hope we can take care of each other and get along well in the future."
Shen Chaoyan nodded in agreement with her words, "That's what I should do."
"I still have to go to see Concubine Xie, so I'll take my leave first." Shen Qingwan did not stay any longer and led the two little palace maids to the next door.
When Shen Qingwan was placed in the Shen Mansion before, Lugua had brought her tea.
Green Gua didn't like Shen Qingwan. She looked at the gifts on the table, glanced at Shen Chaoyan's face, and asked, "My lady, if you don't like it, I will throw all these things out!"
Shen Chaoyan waved her hand, "After all, they were bought with real money, there is no need to waste them. Check if there are any problems with the things inside. If there are no problems, keep them for reward in the future."
"Yes."
... ...
The days after entering the palace are indeed much more boring than in the Shen Mansion.
Since the tyrant has not yet appointed a queen, the empress dowager is the most important in the entire harem.
Except for paying respects to the empress dowager every day, the rest of the time is free.
The tyrant has only been on the throne for a few months, and he needs to spend a lot of energy every day to maintain the stability of the court, and rest in the Yangxin Palace every day to review memorials.
The concubines in the harem waited anxiously, but they didn't hear whose card he turned over.
Fortunately, Shen Chaoyan had the Heavenly Book, a magical tool to relieve boredom. She read the storybook every day and used the Heavenly Book as an electronic book for entertainment.
Although she could also take the initiative to look up gossip, before the plot was triggered, the concubines in the harem were all strangers to her, and the fun of reading gossip about strangers would be reduced by half.
It would be better to keep the melon first, and then it would be delicious when it is familiar to the face.
The tenth day after Shen Chaoyan entered the palace.
The maid of Shoukang Palace came to pass on the message that the Queen Mother would hold a banquet tonight and asked everyone to go over for dinner.
[Heavenly Book, why is the Queen Mother holding a banquet tonight? ]
During this time, Shen Chaoyan used the Heavenly Book as an electronic pickled mustard. At mealtime, she either let it broadcast horror stories or tell various cold jokes.
Tianshu had been wasted for so long, and when he saw Shen Chaoyan finally asking about the affairs in the palace, he was refreshed: [Host, the Queen Mother wants the Emperor to have children as soon as possible, and tonight's meal is a blind date. ]
Oh?
Blind date?
It sounds interesting!
Shen Chaoyan was also interested in this excitement, "Lugua, Hongguo, come and help me wash and change clothes, I'm going to have a big dinner tonight!"
Although Hongguo was a maid randomly assigned to her in the palace, the little girl was nice, down-to-earth and hardworking, and she was also good to her. In addition, she was about the same age as Lugua, so they soon became friends.
At this time, they heard Shen Chaoyan say that she wanted to dress up. One of them opened the cabinet door, and the other picked out clothes. They were very enthusiastic. "My lady, what do you think of this pink skirt? You will be as beautiful as a flower when you wear it!"
Shen Chaoyan shook her index finger, "The color is too light. It will be embarrassing if soup drips on it when you eat."
"Then what about this one? How about the light yellow one?" "It makes me look darker." "What
about
this one?"
"It doesn't match my shoes."
The two little girls picked more than ten pieces in a row, but they were all rejected by Shen Chaoyan.
Finally, she picked out the most inconspicuous skirt from a pile of clothes, combed a simple bun, and led Hongguo and Lugua to Shoukang Palace.
On the way, Lugua saw several concubines passing by dressed up gorgeously, and beat her chest and stamped her feet, saying, "My lady, look at them, and then look at you, why don't you care about the dinner at all?"
Shen Chaoyan didn't care, "This time, more than 30 women were selected to enter the palace, plus the original concubines in the palace, more than 40 women, if everyone dressed like that, wouldn't it be blinding?"
Her primary mission in entering the palace this time was to get rid of Shen Qingwan. As for the rumored moody tyrant, she had no interest in it.
The Feiyan Palace was located far away, and when the three of them, the master and servant, came to Shoukang Palace after winding around, it was almost dark.
The palace was lit up, and the lights were bright, and the night view was unique.
Shen Chaoyan entered the palace and found that almost all the other concubines were there.
They were wearing gold and silver, and putting on makeup. They were all carefully dressed up, and each one looked more gorgeous and wealthy than the other.
In comparison, Shen Chaoyan, wearing a water-green long skirt, looked like a pretty green lotus. No matter where she stood, she looked graceful.
Hongguo looked around and was happy, "The young lady is still foresighted! She wears simple and elegant clothes, which makes her look elegant and refined!"
"Your little mouth is so sweet, I will reward you when I go back."
Shen Chaoyan said so, but adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, she still found the most inconspicuous corner seat and sat down.
Shen Qingwan arrived earlier than Shen Chaoyan.
After Shen Chaoyan entered the palace, Shen Qingwan only glanced at her, then turned around and continued chatting with the two concubines beside her, as if she didn't take her seriously.
Among the ladies who entered the palace this time, except for the prime minister's legitimate daughter who was named Concubine Xian, the others had low positions.
Therefore, most people gathered around Concubine Xian, the only daughter of the prime minister, and took the initiative to show their goodwill to her.
Not long after, the empress dowager came, followed by Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu.
Compared with the new ladies who entered the palace, Concubine Hui and Concubine Shu were considered old people in the palace, although they had only been in the palace for a few months.
Everyone present stood up and saluted immediately. When the concubines vied to compliment the Queen Mother, the girl sitting next to Shen Chaoyan took the initiative to greet her, "My name is Xue Youran, and I am a noble who lives in Guiyun Palace. What about you? What's your name?"
In fact, as early as when Shen Chaoyan sat down, she saw the introduction above her head.
[Xue Youran, 18 years old, granddaughter of General Xue Zhongming of Zhenguo.]
Before Shen Chaoyan entered the palace, in order to catch Zhao Ruhai in adultery, she once met her aunt Xue Anning.
Xue Anning is a straightforward person, and Xue Youran seems to be easy to get along with.
Shen Chaoyan rarely goes out to visit people on weekdays, and is not familiar with the concubines.
She looked at the friendly smile on Xue Youran's face and smiled back, "My name is Shen Chaoyan, my father is..."
"You are Shen Chaoyan? I know you!" Before she could finish her words, Xue Youran happily grabbed her hand, "I've always wanted to meet you, but unfortunately I was at the border and never had the chance. Now that I see you in person, I find that you are so beautiful!" Before
Shen Chaoyan had time to think about whether the original owner and Xue Youran had ever met, a sharp voice rang in everyone's ears!
"The emperor is here--"
Shen Chaoyan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Here he comes!
The shortest-lived tyrant emperor in the history of the Great Xia Dynasty, he is finally here!
