"Qiuyue, I'm at ease leaving this matter to you. You can arrange it yourself."

Shen Yao didn't plan to say more about this matter, which could be regarded as a test for Qiuyue.

If Qiuyue can't even do such a small thing, then there is no need for Shen Yao to continue training Qiuyue. Wouldn't it be better to just ask the emperor for a few capable maids and raise the child easily by herself?

For an ambitious person, it might be uncomfortable to have the emperor's confidant serving around, but Shen Yao does not have such great ambitions. Her system is a child-bearing system rather than a palace fighting system. Her mission in each world is just to enjoy life and experience different lives (and by the way complete the child-bearing task arranged by the system).

As long as Shen Yao does not go against her original intention, she is not afraid of surveillance. She can even live under the sight of Emperor Yuanhe forever, as long as the other party does not withhold her food, clothing and other expenses.

Putting down the bowl of soup in her hand, Shen Yao squinted her eyes comfortably.

"Clear the table."

Standing up, Shen Yao rubbed her sore neck, drank a cup of tea to rinse her mouth, and then lay back on the bed to rest.

Because she was too tired, Shen Yao fell asleep soon after she got into bed.

Shen Yao was dazed and still a little confused when she opened her eyes.

Getting up from the bed, Shen Yao looked outside through the open window at the door.

It was a noisy scene, with people coming and going from various palaces.

Qiuyue stood at the front, greeting everyone with a smile. She turned around and saw Shen Yao who had woken up, and hurried over to greet them.

"Are all the people in the palace here?"

Looking at Qiuyue's expression, it didn't look like she had rested, which showed that there were people coming one after another.

Qiuyue hummed, "Except for those whose positions are lower than the master, there is really no one favored in the harem. The others either sent their maids or came in person. They all went there."

Shen Yao was surprised, "Come here in person?" And he brought his servants with him?

Qiuyue was unable to explain the situation in a few words. "They were three masters who lived in Haitang Pavilion and Songxue Residence. They traveled together. The masters were resting at the time, so I decided to send them away privately."

After saying that, Qiuyue bowed and apologized to Shen Yao. After all, exercising power without the master's consent was, to put it bluntly, a lack of respect.

Shen Yao waved her hand calmly, "You did the right thing. Next time they come when it's not convenient for me, you don't have to entertain them specially."

If the two nobles who came were from Fuqiu Pavilion, it seems that they would not be a bad thing in terms of their status and rank.

As for Haitang Pavilion and Songxueju, the highest status is just a promise, so Shen Yao doesn't need to put herself in a difficult position.

It is true that Shen Yao gets along well with the concubines in the harem, but that doesn’t mean that Shen Yao really has no temper.

On the contrary, Shen Yao, who has safely passed through several mission worlds, has a bad temper, but Shen Yao knows what she wants most. She always puts herself in the most important position so as to maintain her sanity and never let herself be hurt in the slightest.

Qiuyue agreed in her heart, and at the same time she understood that although her master looked gentle and had no temper, in fact, he was just as arrogant as other people.

"Master, rest assured. I know how to handle this."

Anyway, she will not make her master unhappy because of others. As a servant, she will work for whoever she belongs to. Qiuyue is more aware of the times and shrewd than Chunhua before.

"It's almost time, bring dinner in advance, I..."

They looked up at the sky, and before Shen Yao could finish the rest of her sentence, they saw Wei Zhu, who had left in the morning, coming over with a mighty group of people.

That’s right, the person coming over was Wei Zhu, the most popular person around Emperor Yuanhe.

Shen Yao was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed her out of the room.

The two parties met in the middle of the courtyard. Wei Zhu smiled and saluted Shen Yao, "Lady Shen, the emperor is in love."

The emperor asked her to know, but Shen Yao didn't expect that the person sent by the other party was Wei Zhu.

Could it be that the emperor's satisfaction with her is still increasing? This is Shen Yao's misunderstanding of Emperor Yuanhe. It was entirely because Xiao Yanchen was planning to have a meal and suddenly thought of Shen Yao that he asked Wei Zhu to go.

Anyway, Shen Yao's sleeping arrangement will not change, so it's fine for her to come earlier to have dinner with him.

"Hardworking father-in-law"

Shen Yao nodded. She didn't need to prepare anything and just followed with Qiuyue.

The crowd left the Hehuan Palace in a mighty manner. Because Wei Zhu had a strong presence in the harem, the news that Shen Yao was summoned by the emperor to the Taiji Palace to serve him again spread like wildfire.

Fengyi Palace

The queen listened to the news brought by the maid and kept looking through the accounts.

Beside her, the nanny poured a cup of tea for the queen, "Your Majesty, it's time to take a rest."

The Queen shook her head, her expression unchanged, "Palace affairs are complicated and confusing, wait until we are done."

The maid heard this and hesitated to speak. Before she could make up her mind to speak, the queen continued, "Madam, do you want to ask what I think about Concubine Shen sleeping with me?"

The nanny looked surprised, then nodded, "Noble Lady Shen only served for one night and was promoted to Noble Lady.

Although this speed is not as fast as the grand scene when Concubine Zhou entered the palace, it is possible that she will be the next Concubine Zhou. Your Majesty must be on guard. "

Queen: ...What does this have to do with anything?

The queen's eyes were cold, "Mammy, did the mansion say something to you again?"

The nanny's breathing became unstable when the queen looked at her, and she quickly shook her head, "Your Highness, you misunderstood."

The queen glanced at the other party and said in an inexplicable tone, "I hope it was a misunderstanding on my part. Mammy, you must know that you are my wet nurse, not a member of the Duke's Mansion." Therefore, you must understand who your master is.

Putting down the account she was reading halfway, the queen stood up and walked towards the inner room.

Upon seeing this, the nanny hurriedly followed, her hand still on the queen's arm.

The queen turned her head and met the nanny's eyes that were filled with worry. She finally sighed. It didn't matter. Even if the nanny had selfish motives, it was for her own benefit.

"Noble Shen is different from Noble Concubine Zhou. Unless Noble Shen can have many children, she will not be able to climb to Noble Concubine Zhou's current position."

The queen felt that this condition would be difficult to achieve for all the concubines in the harem, including herself.

Their emperor has been on the throne for seven years, which is almost ten years including the time he has spent in the palace.

After ten years, there were only three sickly little princes. You can imagine what the outcome of their offspring would be like.

As a woman with a legitimate son, the queen understood better the difficulties of pregnancy.

Therefore, she has always believed that it is not easy for a woman in this palace to ascend to the top.

After all, the Xiao family of the Dajing Dynasty was not a family with feelings and righteousness.

Feelings cannot be relied upon, only family background can provide some help. And this Concubine Shen, the daughter of a fifth-rank official, is nothing to her in a harem filled with beauties.

"Mammy, there is no need to say these words in the future. The most important thing for me now is to take good care of the Second Prince."

Only if her legitimate son is alive can she secure her position as queen and make further progress.

If the vision is not big enough and you lose the big picture for the sake of small things, then what's the use of guarding against the concubines in the palace? It's not good to be like the current Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace, who can only adopt other people's children and watch other people's children successfully ascend the throne. Although you have the status of a legitimate mother, you can only live in a corner.

The queen's eyes flickered, and she felt a headache when she thought about the current situation of the harem.

Oh, not only is her father-in-law alive, but she also has two mothers-in-law who are bullying her and dominating her. Which queen would be as frustrated as her?

The Queen of Fengyi Palace was able to remain calm because she had children and years of experience. However, when other people in the palace were replaced, including Concubine Zhou of Chaoyang Palace, they were all very angry.

The women in the palace are all the emperor's concubines. If you count them carefully, they are more like rivals than colleagues. After all, there is only one man competing for them, and if you have more and I have less, I will never be satisfied.

Shen Yao followed Wei Zhu to the Taiji Hall, completely unaware of the turmoil she had caused.

At this time, she was sitting next to Emperor Yuanhe and having dinner with him.

At this time, Shen Yaowei knew the purpose of her coming here early, which turned out to be to accompany guests.

With a constant smile on her face, Shen Yao carefully observed Emperor Yuanhe's every move. She would pick up something for him when she saw what he liked. At the same time, she did not forget to take care of herself. Xiao Yanchen found it funny but also more interesting.

That’s right, Shen Yao’s every move, every frown and smile, seemed to have a special magical power, which directly made Xiao Yanchen lose his mind.

Seeing Shen Yao eating happily, Xiao Yanchen ate half a bowl of rice more today.

The two of them felt a little bloated, so they went for a walk outside the hall.

Shen Yao took advantage of the girl's admiration and shyness for her lover throughout the whole process. Although she did not do anything, she was attracting Xiao Yanchen's attention all the time.

"Beloved Concubine"

"emperor"

When they lowered their eyes and raised their heads again, the collision of their gazes produced fireworks that were enough to pry open their hearts.

Xiao Yanchen's peach blossom eyes flickered slightly, and he took advantage of the situation to grab Shen Yao's wrist, "It's almost time, let's go back and wash up."

Shen Yao hummed shyly, revealing the curve of her neck hidden by her hair.

Seeing this, Xiao Yanchen licked his lips, and the two of them went into the bathroom one after the other.

Because the bathroom had a separate shower area, Shen Yao once again saw the bedroom nanny from last night.

"Thank you, Auntie"

Shen Yao spread her arms and let the palace maid take off her clothes.

There was a gentle sound of water, carrying the fragrance of blooming flower petals. Shen Yao put her hand to her lips and yawned, while not forgetting to put the fertility pill into her mouth.

Time is running out, so she has to seize every opportunity to sleep with him.

"Your skin is of excellent quality. You do not need to apply ointment to lubricate it today. It will only make your skin look ugly."

In return for the favor, the bedroom nanny not only did not use the ointment on Shen Yao, but also secretly stuffed a small sachet the size of a finger into Shen Yao's hand.

"This is a kind of acacia fragrance that is unique to the palace. The emperor likes it very much."

The bedroom nanny gave a reminder and then sent Shen Yao, who had been dressed again, back to the side hall.

At this time in the side hall, Xiao Yanchen had already finished washing up and was sitting on the couch in his slightly open casual clothes.

The chest is exposed, muscular and powerful.

She is obviously tall and thin, but when she takes off her clothes, her broad shoulders and narrow waist are revealed, a great figure that makes people blush and their hearts beat fast.
