Chapter 370: Improper conduct in front of the palace
So if we talk about building relationships, Wei Shu is the emperor's cousin, but there is a big age difference between them, so they have not had much contact since childhood.
Everyone in the same row found that the emperor and the imperial concubine seemed to like Wei Shu particularly, and their eyes on her became hot and jealous.
Huang Yanyu stood at the edge, and there was Mu Qianqian between her and Wei Shu.
She rolled her eyes and came up with a bad idea.
While everyone's eyes were on Wei Shu, she pretended to sprain her ankle, seemingly hitting Mu Qianqian lightly, but in fact her other hand pushed Mu Qianqian hard from behind.
Wei Shu was just taking a few steps forward to answer the emperor's words, and a strong force came from behind her without any defense, pushing her almost flying out.
"Ah!"
Mu Qianqian screamed and fell heavily to the ground. Wei Shu, who had some martial arts skills, turned a few times before she relieved the force on her back and stood up in shock.
That face...
In the flash of white light, Emperor Xuanwu seemed to see Jiang Xinyue fall to the ground, and his heart trembled with fear.
But when he turned around and saw that she was sitting well in the chair, he just couldn't bear to see someone fall, so when Mu Qianqian fell to the ground, he closed his eyes tightly.
Therefore, she didn't see the appearance of the person who fell.
There was a moment of silence in the air. It is a serious crime to lose manners in front of the palace. Why is this concubine so useless? She
actually fell down
because of her weak legs. How did Chuxiu Palace teach her to behave so unpresentable?
Hearing the person beside him sighing heavily, looking a little frightened, the emperor's peach blossom eyes were filled with ice, and he looked unhappily at Mu Qianqian who hurriedly got up from the ground and shivered in the hall and knelt: "Cowardly as a mouse, put down your sign and give you flowers." Only
those who failed in the selection would be given flowers by putting down their signs, and the selected girls would keep their signs and be given sachets.
Mu Qianqian failed!
Huang Yanyu's heart almost jumped out of her throat, but Mu Qianqian herself was timid and didn't dare to say a word to defend herself. She became more and more proud in her heart, thinking that this person was easy to bully.
After a period of silence, a noble lady praised Wei Shu a few words, and the atmosphere became warm again. It was not
until the Emperor's marriage decree came down that Huang Yanyu realized that Wei Shu was not going to enter the palace as a concubine, but was going to marry Yan Dalang, the eldest son of the General of the Cavalry.
With the Emperor's marriage decree, this marriage was even more glorious, and the General's wife waved to Wei Shu at this time, obviously the two had met privately for many times.
The General's wife was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Huang Yanyu was even more jealous.
Because Wei Shu was the daughter of Prince Ruyang, if she wanted to be a concubine, the high-ranking concubine could have chosen her, and even the Royal Concubine would have to be kind to her.
If she didn't want to be a concubine, the elders in her family would arrange everything for her. She could choose whoever she wanted to marry. The family background of the palace would make everyone who became her mother-in-law smile at her and dare not bully her at all.
How could her life be so good?
But Huang Yanyu was still very happy to have solved the threat of Mu Qianqian.
She never regarded Wei Shu as a competitor. Mu Qianqian was the one she had to guard against.
"Huang Yanyu, are you from Yizhou?"
Huang Yanyu had a good appearance, gorgeous and bright. When she smiled, there were two small pear swirls on her lips, which added a bit of cuteness to her.
She stepped forward a few steps and replied: "That's right, my daughter's father is the younger brother of the second wife of the Jiang family in Yizhou."
That is, the daughter of the younger brother of Jiang Xinyue's second aunt.
So what?
Jiang Xinyue didn't know her.
She smiled slightly: "So, you are related to me?"
Can you use her reputation to bully the weak in the palace?
Huang Yanyu smiled shyly: "I dare not claim to be related to you, Your Majesty. I just wish you eternal youth, happiness and health, and I wish the Sixth Prince to grow up strong."
"She is a very eloquent person."
Yupin rolled her eyes: "Your Majesty, I am very brave. My palace is still short of a female official. How about letting your cousin go to my palace?"
Huang Yanyu: ???
Jiang Xinyue almost laughed out loud: "You rarely ask me for anything, but you asked me this time, how can I refuse?"
After that, she looked at Huang Yanyu again: "Yupin asked me for you, and I agreed. You wouldn't be unwilling, right?"
Huang Yanyu: ...
Can she say no? Does she have the right to refuse? She
didn't, because the emperor didn't express any dissatisfaction with the decision of the imperial concubine.
"My daughter...my daughter is willing."
Of the four most concerned people in this group, only Shi Ruojun, who was relatively inconspicuous, stayed.
Of the other three, two popular candidates became palace maids, and one was married to the legitimate son of the general of the cavalry.
What are the standards for selecting beauties?
Huang Yanyu came out of the inner hall and trotted all the way to the rest room, lying on the table and crying loudly.
"Oh! Stop crying, what happened? We just asked everyone, two hundred beauties were selected, but only three were chosen, what happened?"
"It can be...wuwuwuwu...it can be...what...what's going on wuwuwuwu...it's because the Royal Concubine...she is afraid that we...these new beauties will enter the palace and snatch her favors wuwuwuwu, she wants to monopolize the emperor herself."
"Ah? Isn't the Royal Concubine your cousin? How come you were not selected? Didn't your family inform the palace?"
"You're lying, right? If you're really the cousin of the Imperial Concubine, how could she not let you be selected? Wouldn't it be more helpful to have another sister?"
Men are all fickle, and they fall in love with every woman they see, not to mention that this is the emperor.
With a new person in the palace, the Imperial Concubine should use her influence to her advantage.
When this question was asked, the concubines all knew the answer and kept silent.
If the emperor's favor changes every day, would the Imperial Concubine dare to be so arbitrary and eliminate all those beautiful concubines in front of the emperor?
If the emperor had not indulged her, would the Imperial Concubine dare to be so arrogant?
It is precisely because she has the emperor's exclusive favor that she does not need to control anyone!
But Huang Yanyu did not think so. She sat up suddenly: "The Concubine Yu is not on good terms with her. Knowing that I am her cousin, she asked me to be a female official in her palace. It must be that Concubine Yu deliberately used me to humiliate the Imperial Concubine." In the
Yaotai Palace, Concubine Yu looked at Jiang Xinyue with a frown, as if to say: What do you think? Is the concubine smart? If the concubine takes the concubine's cousin away, the concubine will not have to worry about explaining to the clan members.
If Jiang Xinyue knew what she was thinking, she would definitely tell her that she was worrying too much.
The Jiang family is now ruled by her cheap father.
His father would never arrange for the girls in the family to enter the palace to share her favor.
