After killing four concubines, the queen was sentenced to death and reborn

The next day, when Zheng Xiyan was having breakfast, Biluo suddenly mentioned something, "Your Majesty, those who served His Majesty before, according to the rules, should be given official status. You and His Majesty have been married for more than two months, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer."

Zheng Xiyan put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and asked in a deep voice: "How many people are there in total?"

"Your Highness, there are six of them in total."

Zheng Xiyan thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Let's name them Baolin together!"

Biluo felt that this position was a bit high, so she asked, "Isn't Baolin too high?"

"After all, they have served His Majesty for so long, and giving them a Baolin position is not too high." Zheng Xiyan looked indifferent. It was just a Baolin position. In the last life, they were relatively well-behaved and respectful to her. Moreover, they were never favored in the palace. With a higher position, their lives would be better.

"But after all, we skipped the Picking Girls and Imperial Concubines."

There was another reason why Zheng Xiyan did this, and that was that in her previous life, she had conferred the titles of Cai Nu on these six people, the lowest rank. As a result, she gained a reputation for being jealous.

After all, these six people have served Xiao Xuanchen for quite a long time, but their positions are too low, which makes Zheng Xiyan seem stingy and lack the magnanimity that a queen should have.

So Zheng Xiyan might as well be more generous this time and confer the title on Baolin as well. Now no one would dare to accuse her of being jealous!

"If I confer the title of Concubine, some people might say that I am stingy. Baolin's rank is not high, but it is not the lowest either. This is very good." Zheng Xiyan raised her eyes and glanced at her.

"Yes, I obey your order."

"Let them come to pay their respects to me in a few days!" Zheng Xiyan said again.

"Yes!"

Zheng Xiyan had never summoned them before. After all, they were not Xiao Xuanchen's official concubines and had no status in the harem, so Zheng Xiyan didn't need to summon them.

But now that she has that status, she is a legitimate concubine in the harem, and as the mistress of the harem, it is time for her to summon her.

Princess Shion

After Xiao Xuanchen finished his morning court session, he learned about this and was somewhat surprised. "Did the Queen confer the title of Baolin on them?"

"Your Majesty, the Empress has issued an imperial decree, saying that they have served Your Majesty for quite some time, so their ranks cannot be too low, but since they are of humble origins, they cannot be too high either, so she gave Baolin the position."

Xiao Xuanchen always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. He said in a deep voice: "The Queen is thoughtful. I don't want to be accused of not remembering our old friendship. Let's follow the Queen's wishes!"

"The slave obeys the order."

"In addition, the Queen also ordered people to clean up Chonghua Palace and Hehuan Palace and let the six Baolins live in them." The eunuch in front of the emperor continued.

"I understand, you can leave!" Xiao Xuanchen waved his hand, looking worried.

"The slave retire."

After the eunuch left, Xiao Xuanchen fell into deep thought. He didn't know why. Although the queen did nothing wrong, he felt a little... even a little guilty.

But after a moment, he was still the cold and ruthless emperor who could use anyone to keep his seat on the throne.

The next day, Zheng Xiyan summoned the six Baolins.

The six people dressed in beautiful dresses came to the main hall of Weiyang Palace, and Zheng Xiyan sat upright on the phoenix throne in the main hall.

The six people stood in three rows and knelt down to greet the Queen. "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Zheng Xiyan thought back to her previous life. These people were relatively law-abiding and had a good understanding of themselves.

After all, they were personally selected by the Queen Mother, and they all have superior looks and gentle temperaments.

Zheng Xiyan said in a lazy voice, "Everyone, get up! Please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Queen."

"After moving to Chonghua Palace and Hehuan Palace, are you all used to living here?" Zheng Xiyan looked lazy. She didn't know if it was because of her pregnancy, but she felt a little tired these days.

The one sitting at the first position on the left was Shen Baolin, the first woman to serve Xiao Xuanchen. She wore a pink gauze tube dress embroidered with pure white jasmine flowers, her eyes were deep purple, her black hair was tied into a flying bun, with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally, her temperament was cold, but very charming.

"Your Majesty, we have gotten used to living here and would like to thank you very much." Shen Baolin said with a smile.

Zheng Xiyan smiled and said, "You have served His Majesty for a long time. This is what you deserve. You don't need to thank me."

"We concubines dare not forget that this is the grace of His Majesty and the Queen." Shen Baolin said.

He Baolin, who was sitting opposite Shen Baolin, was beautiful, with long and thick eyebrows, and slender eyes that revealed a sense of intelligence. She was wearing a blue dress.

"Sister Shen is right. We will definitely be grateful for the kindness of Your Majesty and the Queen, and will serve Your Majesty and the Queen well in the future."

Zheng Xiyan looked at them with a smile, they were not her enemies and there was no need to make things difficult for them, they were all honest and decent people, if she was nice to them now, they might be useful in the future.

"You are all smart people. You should know what you should do and what you should not do. As long as you behave yourself, I will not treat you unfairly." Zheng Xiyan's expression suddenly became serious. After all, she still had to give them a warning.

"Thank you, Queen." A trace of panic inevitably flashed across the faces of several people.

These days, Zheng Xiyan has been using various reasons to reject Xiao Xuanchen. He must be most careful in the first three months and must not make any mistakes.

After dinner that night, the two of them took a walk, and Xiao Xuanchen impatiently picked her up and walked towards the bedroom.

He gently placed Zheng Xiyan on the bed, and then quickly pressed her under him. Zheng Xiyan looked nervous, with her hands on his chest, and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I cannot sleep with you tonight."

"Why? You have been rejecting me these days. What's wrong?" Xiao Xuanchen looked unhappy. It would be fine once or twice, but what did it mean to reject him again and again?

Zheng Xiyan looked at him with smiling eyes and explained, "I can't always monopolize Your Majesty, otherwise people will say I'm jealous. Your Majesty, why don't you summon Shen Baolin to sleep with you tonight!"

Xiao Xuanchen squeezed her palm and said with a somewhat cold expression: "But tonight, I just want the Queen to accompany me."

Zheng Xiyan's heart tightened, but for the sake of the child, she looked at him tenderly and said, "But Your Majesty, you have to consider me, too!"

"I have my support, what are you afraid of?" Xiao Xuanchen ignored her and went straight to pull off her clothes. Zheng Xiyan thought that if she refused him again tonight, it would be disadvantageous to her if she really angered him.

After some hesitation, I finally let him succeed.

But Zheng Xiyan was worried that it would hurt the fetus in her belly, so she couldn't let him go on making trouble. "Your Majesty! I'm so tired and want to sleep."

"It's still early now?" Xiao Xuanchen panted and looked at him with red eyes.

"But I am really tired. Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, okay?" Zheng Xiyan said in a seductive voice.

Zheng Xiyan's coquettish look moved Xiao Xuanchen a little, so he had to agree to her, "Okay! I will listen to the Queen."

"Your Majesty is the best. Thank you very much." Zheng Xiyan pecked him lightly on the lips, then nestled in his arms and closed her eyes.

That day, Zheng Xiyan went to Shoukang Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother talked to her for a long time, "The selection will be held soon. I know you must be feeling uncomfortable, but..."

Zheng Xiyan smiled generously, "Mother, I understand everything. Your Majesty is the emperor, and I can't be the only one in the harem. No matter how many sisters there are in the harem in the future, I will not complain."

The Queen Mother took her hand distressedly and said, "Good child, you are a good child. It is a blessing for Chen'er to marry you."

"This is also my son's blessing." Zheng Xiyan lowered his head with a sneer on his lips.

"With my support, no one in the harem can surpass you." The Queen Mother promised.

"Thank you, mother." Zheng Xiyan said with gratitude.

"But in this harem, you still need to have children. You better be more pregnant and give birth to a legitimate child as soon as possible. Only then will your position be truly stable."

"Yes! I will keep it in mind."

"it is good!"

After leaving Shoukang Palace, Zheng Xiyan sat on the phoenix carriage and said coldly, "Go back to the palace."

"Yes!"

Biluo was concerned about the fact that the queen was pregnant, so she reminded them, "You all should walk carefully."

Biluo and Shuangning have been very cautious, fearing that something might happen to Zheng Xiyan.
