Rebirth of the legitimate daughter: the daily life of His Majesty the Emperor’s beloved concubine

Empress Jiang Yuxuan was born in a hairpin family. When she was young, she didn't like red makeup and preferred armed weapons. She was an expert at turning swords and swords. She spent the whole day either wielding a sword or studying military art, which gave General Jiang a headache.

After marrying into the prince's palace at the age of sixteen, she slowly calmed down her temper.

Now that she is a queen, she can already deal with all the matters in the harem very well. Sometimes she is too lazy to listen to the concubines' quarrels and can resolve them at will without damaging their harmony.

However, the queen still didn't like the daily greetings. She didn't want to say insignificant words with a smile on her face, and she didn't want to waste her morning time on such things.

The emperor was considerate of the queen's temperament, so he changed the daily greetings to once every three days, and later to once every five days.

Therefore, the fifth and tenth days of every month are the days for the concubines to pay their respects.

Since Su Ning'an only entered the palace yesterday, she was the one to pay her respects to the queen alone today.

When Suning'an woke up leisurely, Shen Yanzui had already changed clothes and washed up. He went to Fengyu Palace to have breakfast with the queen, and was already in court.

"What time is it?" Su Ningan sat up with her sore body, looking at the dark or light red color on her body, her face felt hot. "Cui Zhu, get some water quickly. We have to go to Feng Yu Palace to pay our respects today. We must not be late."

"When the emperor left today, he specifically asked not to disturb the empress." The tray held by Cuizhu contained a soft handkerchief and a mouthwash cup. Inside was water boiled with salt and mint leaves, which was exactly the temperature of the entrance. .

Ying'er took the hot water that had been prepared and put it on the shelf.

"Just now, Eunuch An came here specially, saying..." Ying'er paused, still a little shy, "Your Majesty is considerate of the hard work that the Queen had to do yesterday, and specifically told her that today she would just pay her respects to the Queen alone, You don’t have to go too early. It just so happens that the Queen didn’t sleep well yesterday, so she got up later today. My servant guessed that the Emperor must have specifically told the Queen when he had breakfast with the Queen today.”

The pink and purple bed curtains were lifted up, and Cuizhu specially brought a new Luo Yi for Suning to change into. In each hand, he took a floating brocade and dark pattern cloud and smoke skirt, and a heavy lotus damask butterfly play hibiscus floor-length skirt, in Suning's hand. An opened it in front of her, "Which one do you want to wear today?"

Suning took a look at it and said, "The flashy one, it's more plain." She was a concubine, and she went to visit her eldest wife. She dressed brightly, but she didn't know that she was not inviting people to see her?

"Yes." Cuizhu put the other piece of clothing back as he said, and helped Suningan wash and dress up. Her hair was simply decorated with two polygonatum hairpins and a light pink side-pedicled hibiscus flower. After using something, he rinsed his mouth again, and then went to Feng Yu Palace.

"Ying'er will go with me today, but you can stay here."

"Yes." Cuizhu responded in a low voice, knowing what the lady meant. She and the young lady were both new to the palace, so it was inevitable that there would be some inconsiderations, so it would be more appropriate to bring Ying'er with her.

Fengyugong

"I didn't expect that the emperor would specially come to have breakfast with the emperor today. It can be seen that the emperor is still thinking about the emperor."

Jiang Yuxuan smiled slightly, "Why does the Emperor care about me? I just want to say it personally, Su Meiren will come later today, and I should be more tolerant." After saying that, he stood up and asked Amber He Hongying arranged her clothes, "But it's okay. I accommodate his beloved concubine, and the emperor will definitely remember me well."

While the master and servants were chatting and laughing, someone announced that Su Mei had arrived, and the queen ordered Tao'er to bring them in.

"My concubine pays homage to the Queen." Suningan's salute was very formal and he did not slack off at all.

"Get up quickly. From now on, we are all a family, and we all serve the emperor. If my sister always behaves like this, it will not be good for her to get separated." The queen was gentle and approachable, but she just sat dignifiedly on the seat, which inevitably brought a bit of alienation. .

Suningan raised his eyelids slightly, not daring to look further. He immediately lowered his eyes and said "yes", and sat meekly aside, with his eyebrows lowered and his eyes narrowed, very well-behaved.

The queen looked at Su Ning'an again without hesitation, "I can't blame the emperor for doting on my sister so much. With such a good look and such a good temper, everyone would like her."

Suningan blushed and whispered, "I don't dare." But her heart skipped a beat when she saw the maid beside her bringing several plates of snacks and a cup of hot tea on the small table next to her.

"Even the emperor is full of praise for the jade dew dumplings, lotus root powder, osmanthus sugar cake and jade bean cake here in this palace. Please give it a try and see if it suits your taste."

Su Ning'an's eyebrows jumped. She had read a lot of picture books before entering the palace. They were all about how the concubines in the palace fought, what kind of wine was poisoned, and food was drugged. Could it be...

But everyone knew that she came to pay her respects today, and even if the queen wanted to take action, she would not do it at this time. Thinking of this made her feel relieved.

Fortunately, she didn't eat much for breakfast and was hungry. It would be embarrassing if her stomach growled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He picked up a piece of Jade Dew, Lotus Root Flour and Osmanthus Sugar Cake and took a small bite. It was soft and glutinous, sweet and not greasy. "My Majesty, the food here is really delicious. I have never tasted it so delicious before." of."

Jiang Yuxuan looked at Suning'an with her eyebrows furrowed and her brows relaxed, and she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.

How many people came to her to greet her for the first time but never did this. Not to mention snacks, she rarely drank tea. She only dared to eat and use some when greeting her every five or ten times. This Sumei person was special.

So he stayed with her for a while and said some words, and gave her many rewards before leaving.

"My dear, this Sumei looks like she knows her duty."

Jiang Yuxuan was helped into the bedroom by Tao'er, "Well, she is very well-behaved and docile, but as time has passed, who knows? Wasn't the jade talent also very well-behaved back then? But look at it now? Let's go and see, just I hope it’s a worry-free one.”

When Su Ning'an returned to Yin Yuexuan, Cuizhu had already gone to the imperial dining room and brought back some of her favorite food.

"You are quite clever."

"It was Aunt Zheng who told the servant. They knew that the servant belonged to Yin Yuexuan, so they were very attentive and prepared it quickly."

"Is this a reward?" Su Ning'an twisted her waist. The concubines in this palace had to maintain a straight posture when walking. They looked good, but they were too tired.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. You have prepared so many money bags, aren't they just for giving rewards to the palace people? I took two as rewards today." Cuizhu said, putting some dishes on Suning'an's plate, "Actually, Your Majesty is considerate of Your Majesty today. , Your Majesty, there is no need to go so early, the Queen must be starving after keeping you talking for so long."

"Silly girl!" Su Ning'an poked Cuizhu's head, "Although I am the one here to greet you today, who in the palace is not keeping an eye on me? If I am right, Su Yuxin is probably keeping an eye on me the most closely. I hope I There's nothing wrong with it."

Cuizhu nodded, thinking that she must listen more, read more, and learn more in the future, so as not to cause trouble for the young lady.

As soon as Suningan put down his chopsticks, Anli came to Yinyuexuan with the imperial edict and Liushui's reward.

After reading the imperial edict with a smile on his face, Anli congratulated her repeatedly: "My congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress. This is the first time the emperor has received such a favor."

"You're welcome, Mr. An." Su Ningan also had a smile on her face and asked Cuizhu to take a blue money bag and hand it to Anli. This was much heavier than the green bag Cuizhu used to reward the imperial chef.

Su Ning'an looked at the flowing rewards, opened the imperial edict again, looked at the title on it, and said, "Zhao".

Youth is thanked, and the sun shines brightly.

Zhao means bright.

What a good title!

Suningan looked at the bunches of warm colors that came in from the round window, and happened to fall on the vase decorated with roses and red beans on the small table. Her eyes reflected the bright spots falling on the petals, and she raised her lips.

It is common for the emperor to reward a concubine after she sleeps with her for the first time. But after she sleeps with a concubine, she is not only rewarded but also given a title. This is enough to make the harem uneasy.

Those with high status are fine, but those with lower status are not.

It took a lot of hard work for me to get to this position, and even if I wanted to get a title after many setbacks, I might not be able to get it, not to mention that even Yucai Ren only got a title after having a child.

But now, this beautiful lady from Zhao was given a title just for sleeping with her. It was chosen and drafted by the emperor himself. Who can swallow this sigh of relief?

The first person to bear the brunt is the Yucai people of Chunlan Garden.
