Chapter 727: A Joke in the Palace

Not only Hua Yan was shocked, but the entire harem was dumbfounded.

The concubines' first reaction was -

Who is Hua Yan???

How could a little-known maid with no background be made a concubine right away?!

Si Linglong was also promoted to concubine very quickly at the beginning, but at least she was promoted step by step, and each time she was promoted she had "reasons and reasons". Where did this Hua Yan come from?

So all the palace people went out to investigate, and within half a day, Hua Yan's identity was revealed.

She turned out to be a "little singer" given to Concubine Lang by the emperor!

The singer had once sung at a charity banquet and won the Queen Mother's praise.

Later, she stayed in Yuxiu Palace and served as a half-palace maid.

The concubines couldn't help but think about it.

Could it be that... the inner courtyard of Concubine Lang is on fire?

The person I kept by my side climbed into my bed? ?

After learning of Hua Yan's identity, some concubines were even more dissatisfied. They thought that such a person of humble origin had a higher status than them.

This status is even worse than that of Concubine Lang!

The other part is full of happiness and misfortune.

Mr. Shen was one of them.

"Ha! She was so proud of herself in front of me, but ended up being taken advantage of by the palace maids around her. From now on, I'm afraid she will become a laughing stock in the palace!"

Shen Rongrong was in a very good mood and even felt like drinking. She immediately and happily asked the palace maid to bring her some wine.

Thinking of how she was threatened by her, Shen Rongrong felt extremely unhappy in her heart, but she didn't dare to confront Si Linglong openly. She could only say bad things to her own maid in private when no one was around.

"It is said that the emperor favors her exclusively, but how could the emperor really give his heart to only her? If the emperor can give his favor to her today, he can definitely give it to me tomorrow."

As Shen Rongrong thought about this, she seemed to see hope again.

Zi Xi, who was standing aside, looked at her optimistic master, with an expression as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

She wanted to say, let's wait and see what happens.

After all, there were more than one cases in the past where the palace thought that Concubine Lang had fallen out of favor, only to be slapped in the face.

However, seeing her master's happy face, Zi Xi decided to give up.

As long as you are happy.

Then Shen Rongrong asked, "You said that Hua Yan's promotion to imperial concubine is related to the incident in which Concubine Lang broke into Lianrui Palace two days ago?"

Two days ago, Concubine Lang once again brought the palace maids from Yuxiu Palace to break into Lianrui Palace.

The concubines in the harem who heard the news were no longer as shocked as the first time. Some even thought calmly, is Concubine Lang bored during the New Year and wants to beat someone for fun?

Even the Queen Mother, when she heard the news, held her forehead with a look of pain, as if she didn't want to care.

As a result, the matter did not escalate as everyone thought, because Concubine Lang left very quickly.

And when he left, he took away a palace maid from their palace.

Everyone knew that it was Concubine Lian who first detained the person, which led to Si Linglong entering the palace.

The Queen Mother was too lazy to make another trip, so she simply sent Jin Xin to reprimand him, and the matter was over.

But now, because of the sealing of Hua Yan's album, what happened two days ago was also dug up.

Especially when they knew that the palace maid detained by Concubine Lian at that time was this Hua Yan, everyone in the harem felt that everything was connected.

"When the emperor was in and out of Yuxiu Palace, he fell in love with this little girl named Huayan, but because of Concubine Lang's face, he did not immediately take her into the palace. However, he must have given her some care in private."

Shen Rongrong analyzed it seriously.

"Somehow, Concubine Lian found out about this! Out of jealousy, Concubine Lian brought the man into her palace to teach him a lesson. When Concubine Lang found out, she brought her men to the palace to snatch the man away without saying a word..."

"She thought she was a loving master and servant, but she didn't expect that the emperor would be furious when he found out about this. At the same time, he felt sorry for his little girl being treated like this, so he no longer cared about Si Linglong's face and directly made her a concubine, slapping her in the face! Ha!"

Shen Rongrong even imagined Si Linglong's expression of disbelief and betrayal when she heard the emperor's decree to confer Hua Yan the title of consort. It was a pity that she could not see it with her own eyes, but this did not prevent her from imagining it with great joy.

"By the way, she went to Xuanzheng Hall today and hasn't returned to the palace yet, right? She must have rushed over to try to stop the emperor's decision. Who would have thought that the emperor would decide to issue an edict to confer the title on the emperor that day? Ha, Si Linglong must be kneeling on the floor of Xuanzheng Hall crying now!"

…

Xuanzheng Hall.

Si Linglong, who was imagined to be kneeling on the ground crying, was now squeezed into a dragon chair with Helian Yue, tilting her head to look at the freshly drafted imperial edict.

Unlike her enthusiasm, Helian Yue held the seal in his hand expressionlessly, but was reluctant to stamp it.

Si Linglong urged him, "Hurry up, the Internal Affairs Department has almost finished cleaning up the palace next door. Once the imperial decree is issued, Hua Yan can move in tonight."

Helian Yue glanced at her unhappily, but reminded her, "Think carefully, she is someone in your palace. If I make someone in your palace a concubine, it will be a slap in your face, and those concubines in the harem will also treat you as a joke."

Helian Yue was seriously analyzing with her the possible impact of this imperial edict, especially on her.

Si Linglong didn't care at all. "Look, it's not like I'll lose anything."

Since she had decided to help Hua Yan fulfill her wish, Si Linglong naturally thought about how those people in the harem would laugh at her.

But if given a name, Hua Yan can live like a real mermaid.

Si Linglong thinks it's worth it.

Then he turned his head and raised his chin towards Helian Yue, with a bit of Xue Shan's unique arrogance in his expression, and said,

"People who are nice to me won't laugh at me. Those who laugh at me are little ants that I don't care about. I don't care what they do."

Then, he pointed at the imperial edict in front of him and said, "Cover it."

Helian Yue was helpless and no longer insisted. He raised his hand and stamped the jade seal on the imperial edict.

From now on, Yan Yan of the Xiang family is named Consort Yu and is granted the Fuxi Palace.
