Chapter 571 Unexpected

Chapter 571 Unexpected

"Although this topaz is not as valuable as mutton-fat jade, it is rare to find such a large piece without any impurities. Your Majesty, keep it for fun."

The fourth day of the New Year is smiling.

Naturally, Shen Chuliu would not refuse it, so he accepted it and asked someone to deliver it after giving the reward on the fourth day of the fourth lunar month.

Looking at the things, Shen Chuliu smiled and said, "This harem has been reshuffled. You guys go and send gifts. Send gifts to those who have been promoted. Follow the rules."

"Hey, what about this topaz?" Chi Su thought she didn't want it.

"This? You can't give this away. The Queen has already given the Emperor no face today. If I give this away again..."

She didn't say the rest, but just smiled happily.

"Besides, it's so beautiful, I can't bear to part with it. I'll wear it tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon, we'll go to see the emperor."

"Hey." Chi Su smiled and asked everyone to come together and move all the things into the house.

The gold was also put away. Even if the master did not have monthly salary for a few months, he would not be short of money. The emperor must know this.

Therefore, most of this gold is used as a reward for the masters.

It is not easy to stand firmly on the Queen's side at this time.

If you don't join in the chaos, you should be rewarded, not to mention there's the Shen family's matter.

After Shen Chuliu changed her clothes, Yao Chongyuan, who had just changed her clothes, came to pay her respects.

"Please sit down. You are the queen now. Do you want to choose a day or move out?" Shen Chuliu asked.

"Your Majesty, I am still willing to live with you. Although I have been promoted, it will be the same even if I don't sleep with you." Yao Chongyuan said hurriedly.

"That's different. Not sleeping with the queen is one thing, but you've become the mistress of the Nine Concubines, and you'll have to add a lot of things around you. Throughout the year, you'll have a lot of things, and you can't live in the side hall anymore, it won't be able to move in. How about this, you go back and pack up, and I'll talk to the queen, and you can live in Cuiyunxuan. You're familiar with that place, and it's right next to me, so we can still go in and out together every day, it's the same thing."

"That... is fine. Your Majesty is not someone who orders people around, but in my heart, I still want to accompany you. Since Your Majesty said so, then Cuiyunxuan is fine. It's nearby and it will be convenient for me to come over." Yao Chongyuan said this, meaning that she would come often.

Shen Chuliu heard it, but said nothing: "Of course it's good."

To be honest, she has gotten used to it. Since she entered the palace, Yao has always been with her. Although she is not always in front of her, the time they have spent with her is quite long.

I'm not used to you leaving so suddenly.

Shen Chuliu sent someone to tell the queen about this matter that day, and the queen naturally agreed. It was no big deal.

Concubine Jing has always had status with the Queen, and she has stood on the Queen's side many times.

The Queen didn't dislike Concubine Jing either publicly or privately.

So soon, Cuiyunxuan was ready.

That night, the emperor naturally had to go to where the empress was. Whether it was to comfort her or just to show off, he had to go.

Linhua Palace.

Yutao entered the inner room and saw a little maid combing Concubine Li's hair. She had been taking good care of her body since her last miscarriage.

Although I still need to take medicine occasionally, I feel much better now.

So I would listen to the imperial physician's advice every day and comb my hair a hundred times before going to bed to promote blood circulation.

"How many times? Let me do it?" Yutao asked the little girl.

"Nineteen times." The little girl handed the comb to Yutao and bowed before leaving. She knew that the master and Sister Yutao had something to say.

"How is it?" asked Concubine Li.

Yu Tao said as she combed her hair, "Everything is almost as you thought. It's a pity that it still failed."

"Alas, the Queen's fate is not over after all. Over the years, I have watched the Emperor treat the Queen, and I understand why, but why is the Queen Mother like this? What doesn't she want to do?"

"Zhen Chongyi is not good enough. If she had the ability, would she still be a Chongyi? She is a Chongyi only because of the face given to her by the Li family. How many times has the emperor visited her over the years? He only came to have a meal when he did." Yutao said.

"The Queen Mother just admitted it like that? I really don't understand." Concubine Li shook her head.

"Maybe he doesn't recognize her, but we can't tell at the moment. The Queen is safe and sound even with such an opportunity, so I guess there won't be another chance in the future." Yutao sighed.

"That's okay. I never intended to bring down the queen. It's just that now I have the opportunity, and it would be inappropriate not to do something." It's always easier to fish in troubled waters.

Who knows how serious a storm can become? Unfortunately, Concubine Jin is incompetent. Although it is easy to instigate, she doesn't even know that she is being instigated. But in the end, she is stupid and can't do anything.

"But it's not okay for people outside either." Yutao felt sorry too.

"Outside, those who are capable are not in a hurry, and those who are anxious are incompetent. The main thing is the Queen Mother. If she does something, the situation will be completely different. Speaking of this, the Shen family is hateful."

Concubine Li sighed. She felt that it was because the Shen family wrote a letter to criticize Lord Su that many ministers followed suit.

The Queen Mother did not take any action.

Otherwise, if the Queen Mother openly expressed her dissatisfaction with the Queen, countless people would surely follow suit and submit memorials. Unfortunately, the Queen Mother also backed down this time.

"It's all about timing, luck and fate. Just wait for the opportunity." Concubine Li waved her hand.

Yutao had just finished combing her hair, so she agreed, put down the comb, and asked someone to come in and serve her.

There is no need to wait, the emperor cannot come today.

The next morning, when it was time to pay respects, all the people from the harem came.

Those who were demoted naturally felt ashamed to face it, while those who were promoted were very happy.

Especially Concubine Ning, she thought her life was hopeless. She had been out of favor for so many years, how could she dare to think that she could be promoted and raise children.

But she went up anyway, which shows that the emperor still values ​​the concubines who came out of the palace. This may be the reason why Yao was promoted to the ninth concubine in one fell swoop.

Concubine Jin had been able to get away with her bad mouth for so many years, but once she did something evil, she was eventually demoted.

Now she is called He Zhaoyi.

Everyone greeted each other and took their seats. Of course, Concubine Qian Shu was too embarrassed to say anything.

Concubine Li came in and laughed, "Why is there no movement today? I'm not used to Concubine He being so quiet today."

"There are many people who are not used to this." Shen Chuliu also laughed: "But this time the blow is big, I think He Zhaoyi can remember it for a few days?"

"Sister Jing, you're joking. Will it take a month to remember this?" Concubine Li also laughed.

He Zhaoyi didn't say a word.

He lowered his head and just twisted his handkerchief.

The four second-rank concubine positions are still full, but it's a pity that Concubine Ning cannot replace Concubine Jin's former position.

She could only sit at the back, although if she had been promoted earlier, she would have been at the front.

But she doesn't have this ability, and now she can only be the last of the four concubines.

Although these four people are theoretically the same age, they are just divided into front and back, so there is a difference in seating order.

"By the way, we haven't congratulated Concubine Ning yet. This is a double happiness." Concubine Li said with a smile.

"Thank you, Sister Li Fei. I didn't expect this either." Concubine Ning said with a smile.

Wow, you’re as fat as a pig.
