Chapter 259: What’s the conflict between you?
In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed and autumn is almost over.
And the palace has also changed a lot.
After the concubines entered the palace, a new batch of palace maids also entered the harem. As a result, the harem, which was not so noisy originally, suddenly became lively.
That morning, the enthronement ceremony in Yonghe Palace had just concluded, and the concubines of each palace had returned to their respective palaces. In Chonghua Palace, Wu Wan and Gao Yurong had just sat down when the eunuch Xiao Qizi came in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Du comes to pay her respects to you."
The two people looked at each other.
Wu Wan said, "Let her in."
After a while, Du Siyao came in from outside with the palace maid Liyun.
Today is the day when the selected concubine Du Siyao was canonized as a concubine.
After she entered the palace, she became very popular. She was the first to serve the emperor in bed, and was directly canonized as a concubine in just over a month. Although she had support from her family, it was also inseparable from the power of some people in the palace.
So, as soon as she walked in, she kowtowed to Wu Wan with great respect, saying, "I pay my respects to Concubine Kang and Concubine An."
Wu Wan smiled and said, "Get up and take a seat."
Liyun helped Du Siyao up.
As soon as she sat down, Wu Wan said with a smile, "Du Jieyu, great joy."
Du Siyao said hurriedly, "My sister was able to be canonized, thanks to the blessing of the Queen."
"Hey, don't say that. I didn't do anything."
Gao Yurong, standing by, smiled and said, "Your Majesty is being modest. For Sister Siyao, Your Majesty has been negotiating with His Majesty a lot. Otherwise, how could she have been canonized as a Concubine after only being in the palace for a little over a month?"
“…”
"Even Consort Xia doesn't have this blessing."
When Xia Yunting was mentioned, a cold light flashed in Du Siyao's eyes.
Wu Wan watched all of this, then smiled and said, "Ah, to be honest, it's my fault. Originally, my sister could have been canonized as a concubine."
"ah?"
Du Siyao’s eyes suddenly widened—concubine?
Although in the palace, a concubine is only one level higher than a concubine, the treatment is completely different due to the higher rank.
Moreover, he doesn't have to be of the same grade as Xia Yunting.
Du Siyao forced a smile, but the look in her eyes had already become somewhat restless: "Then why is there no canonization?"
Seeing that she was already anxious, Wu Wan smiled inwardly, but said with a look of regret on her face: "Ah, I really can't say this."
Gao Yurong, who was standing by, said, "It's all because of Si Nanyan!"
"Sinanyan?!"
When she heard the name, Du Siyao's eyes turned red.
Although it has been a while since she was taken out of the palace by her father and brother, she has not forgotten Si Nanyan, who had fought with her in the Ye Ting before.
Her expression changed a little: "Could it be that she is interfering?"
"That's right."
"But isn't she just a female official in charge of imperial court?"
Gao Yurong sneered, "You just entered the palace, of course you don't know. Although this Si Nanyan is not a concubine in the harem, she is not only a female official of the Shangbao Palace, but also has another job, which is to serve the emperor at night."
"ah?"
"She has many more opportunities to see the Emperor than the concubines in our harem."
“…”
"Sister, before you were canonized, the Emperor asked her to work the night shift last night and the night before."
“…”
"I was originally going to confer you the title of Concubine, but now it's been abruptly changed to Concubine Jieyu... Sister, there won't be any grudges between you two, right?"
