Chapter 6 Miao Xiaoyi
The Deer King stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think? This is a dancer from Shu. Is she different from the dancers in the capital?"
Qi Yixiu had been smiling the whole time, and now he said, "Third brother is indeed a discerning person. This kind of dancing is rare. This woman is indeed quite talented."
"If the emperor likes it, why not stay? It can be a good way to relieve your boredom when you are feeling bored." The Deer King said with a smile.
"Since it is Third Brother's intention, I naturally cannot let him down. Look up, what is your name?"
The latter words were addressed to the dancer.
The dancer raised her head, and her voice was very gentle and moving: "Your Majesty, my name is Wei Wanyi."
"Well, it's a good name." Qi Yixiu thought for a moment and said, "There is still a lack of people in my harem who can hold the position of Xiaoyi. Why not give her a seventh-rank Xiaoyi? What do you two queens think?"
"Of course. I think Wei Xiaoyi is a good person." Empress Dowager Feng looked as if whatever the emperor said was true.
"Okay, I think she's pretty good too." Empress Dowager Li would not take Xiao Yi seriously.
"I think that calling her Wei Xiaoyi doesn't sound nice, so it would be better to give her a title. She dances beautifully, so why not call her Miao Xiaoyi?" Qi Yixiu said.
Everyone congratulated the emperor on getting the beauty, and Miao Xiaoyi herself was also very satisfied.
With her background, even if she entered the palace, it would be good for her to be a dresser.
My original intention was to serve the emperor without any title or status.
Now that she could get the seventh rank in one go, she was of course happy.
When she was happy, many people became unhappy.
For example, the group of people who entered the palace last year.
The tallest among them is Baolin, and she is actually surpassed by a dancer. How can she accept this? Even in the entire harem, no one would look down on Miao Xiaoyi.
Look at her title, so disrespectful.
But then again, apart from Concubine Yi in the harem, this is the first one to have a title!
Even Concubine Yi vomited heavily.
After the banquet, it was Miao Xiaoyi who indeed went to bed with him.
Because she did not yet have her own palace, she lived in the Taiji Palace for three consecutive days.
During these three days, he did not come to the Queen's Fengzao Palace to pay his respects.
Every morning, the concubines talked about her. She was the first one to be so favored since the emperor ascended the throne.
A dancer, this is going to cause a big uproar.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Yao Baolin said, "Looking at her appearance, she is even more beautiful than the pregnant Concubine Cao."
Shen Chuliu knew very well that she had no friends in the palace, so she was unwilling to open up to Yao Baolin. She just said a few words to her and then went back to her room.
"Baolin, why do you think the emperor likes a dancer?" Zirui asked curiously.
"What else can a man say when he likes a woman? He is the emperor, and no woman in the world is worthy of him, no matter how high her status is. Whether she is a dancer or a woman of noble birth, isn't it the same?"
At least it's the same for the emperor.
"But this is too much. After all, she came later. How could she..." Zi Rui snorted.
"Okay, you get angry too easily. This is the harem. What did I say at the beginning? You followed me everywhere. Are you not used to everything?" Shen Chuliu was deliberately scolding her. In fact, Zi Rui was very sensible outside. She was also very thoughtful in doing things.
After all, she was the only one brought by her parents, so she couldn't bear to blame her.
"Silly girl, you have to know that she is a person without any foundation and is suddenly praised so highly that she will fall down sooner or later. In this harem, originally only Concubine Yi had a title, and that was because the emperor favored her. Now there is even a dancer... Although we, the imperial concubines of Baolin, are nothing, we are also girls from good families. How can we accept being suppressed by her like this? Think about Empress Dowager Yang."
Empress Dowager Yang was so favored that she made the Empress and Consort Xian feel suffocated.
How could the emperor not be disgusted?
The emperor has never been a good person.
Just because Shen Chuliu can sit still doesn’t mean that everyone can.
The next day, the favored Miao Xiaoyi came to Fengzao Palace to pay her respects.
She looked like a willow in the wind, wearing a purple gauze skirt and a bun, and bowed gracefully: "I pay my respects to the Queen and to all the sisters."
Before the Empress called out, Concubine Feng said, "Oh, Miao Xiaoyi has refused to come to pay respects to the Empress for three days in a row, and she is the last one to come today. She really doesn't know the rules."
"Get up." The queen said calmly.
Miao Xiaoyi's face flushed: "Yes, it's my fault, but the emperor said..."
"Tsk, it's just as expected that this person comes from a poor family background and is so petty. You come to pay your respects to the Empress, but you keep asking what the Emperor is doing? But none of us have seen the Emperor, only you have seen him, right?" Concubine Cao was already irritable because of her pregnancy, and seeing Miao Xiaoyi like this, how could she bear it.
"I didn't..." Miao Xiaoyi felt aggrieved.
Shen Chuliu looked at this person and thought that she was not smart either. Why was she worthy of the Deer King sending her here?
Or is this just an act? That's possible.
"Xiao Yi dares to talk back. Your Majesty, she is very unruly. You'd better not tolerate her." Concubine Cao said.
"Miao Xiaoyi, although you have just arrived at the palace and don't know the rules, you must learn the palace rules well. This is your first time, and I won't punish you severely. Just copy the palace rules ten times." The queen said lightly.
"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty. I will copy it carefully and will not make the same mistake again in the future." Miao Xiaoyi said.
Everyone couldn't help but ridicule Miao Xiaoyi again.
After they dispersed, what was really frustrating was that Shen Chuliu and the others were still walking behind her.
Shen Chuliu thought, no wonder people like power, it’s good to have power.
"Are you blind?"
When Shen Chuliu and the others heard the sound, they walked forward a few steps and saw Miao Xiaoyi kneeling on the ground, covering her face.
Lady Cao glared at her and said, "You rush to bump into me, are you tired of living?"
"I didn't do that...please forgive me, my beauty." Miao Xiaoyi cried.
"Put away your seductive tricks. Who are you showing them to? The emperor is not here. Since you have offended me, you will kneel here for two hours." Concubine Cao snorted.
Miao Xiaoyi didn't dare to speak, so she could only kneel down.
Shen Chuliu and the others walked around.
"This Miao Xiaoyi is ignorant, so Concubine Cao punished her outside the Queen's palace?" Lu Baolin asked in a low voice.
Shen Chuliu and Yao Baolin seemed not to hear it, and she didn't say anything because she didn't mean to.
They are an amazing combination, they have been working together for a year but they just don't open up to each other.
Before they returned to Cuiyunxuan, they heard that the emperor heard that Miao Xiaoyi had been wronged, so he personally asked the eunuch to take her to Taiji Hall and rewarded her with a pair of palace flowers.
Shen Chuliu laughed and said nothing.
In the harem, the emperor’s favor is both a protection and a sharp sword.
Miao Xiaoyi is caught between two sides, and I'm afraid something big will happen sooner or later.
However, at night, Miao Xiaoyi was fine, but An Yunv, who lived in the side pavilion of Fenghua Pavilion, was revealed to be pregnant.
All of a sudden, there were two pregnant women in the palace.
