"The emperor is coming today, so you are not allowed to leave."

Two people lay on the couch side by side, and because of the compact space, their skin was very close to each other.

Shen Yao's words sounded domineering, but Xiao Yanchen, who had been with Shen Yao for many days, strangely liked this kind of domineering attitude.

Well, I can only say that men are all cheapskates. They don't like others who patiently coax them and go along with them, but they just like things they have never experienced before.

Take Shen Yao for example, she is overbearing and likes to show off her temper. Occasionally, she will hug Xiao Yanchen and act coquettishly, but this makes Xiao Yanchen very tired.

But what about Xiao Yanchen? He thought this was to his liking, and thought that Shen Yao was more genuine and unpretentious in front of him than others.

Shen Yao:......

What can Shen Yao do? Since she likes him, she will just keep her character.

Anyway, in every mission, Shen Yao will try his best to die peacefully in this world.

If she cannot develop a different life in her peaceful days, Shen Yao will sooner or later get bored of this kind of life. By then, it won't be that she is abandoned by the system because she cannot complete the task, but that she will give up on herself and exile herself.

Shen Yao didn't want to end up in that situation, so every time she came to a new mission world, she would choose a different personality to live with.

At the moment, she is unruly and domineering with a little temper, acts in a delicate and naive manner with a bottom line, and is sincere and sophisticated to others. These are the true nature of Shen Yao that she reveals when facing Xiao Yanchen.

Xiao Yanchen loved Shen Yao's unique truthfulness. He spent more and more time in Hehuan Palace during this period, and even Wei Zhu was familiar with the way to Hehuan Palace.

Because Xiao Yanchen valued her, Shen Yao, who had a name in the harem, lived a very happy life.

As for the concubines who held a grudge against her because of this, Shen Yao rarely left the Hehuan Palace except for paying her respects at Fengyi Palace every three days. Others wanted to find an opportunity to teach Shen Yao a lesson, but unfortunately they couldn't even catch her and could only grit their teeth in anger.

"Don't worry, I came here just to see you, so of course I won't leave."

Xiao Yanchen had finally finished his work on the affairs of the previous dynasty and it was time for him to relax.

Compared to going to Fengyi Palace or Chaoyang Palace, Xiao Yanchen prefers Hehuan Palace where he can relax.

Reaching out and patting Shen Yao's shoulder, Xiao Yanchen hugged her tightly and kept saying flirtatious words to her.

Shen Yao listened shyly and responded with the same passionate routine.

I thought that she was just knowledgeable and only coveted Xiao Yanchen's body.

Otherwise, if it were any other concubine in the harem, they would probably be fascinated by Xiao Yanchen.

As expected, the more beautiful a person is, the more dangerous he or she is.

Shen Yao leaned on Xiao Yanchen's shoulder and felt that she could continue to be firm, so as not to be tricked and lose everything.

The two people stayed in the hall and flirted with each other.

On the other hand, the Queen and others who had just come out from the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace all looked annoyed.

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace, the biological mother of Emperor Yuanhe Xiao Yanchen, is ill.

It's not serious, just a cold, but as the queen mother, her status is noble.

As the younger daughter-in-law, the Queen had to come and visit.

The Queen was also smart that day. She directly called Imperial Concubine Zhou Ningyan, Concubine Ning and Concubine Shu, as well as the eldest prince's mother, Concubine Li, and the third prince's mother, Concubine Sun, to come together.

Because there were so many people present, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace couldn't bring herself to cause trouble for the Queen, so she let this man get away with it.

call

Listening to the noisy noise behind her, Queen Wei Jingyi's eyes became fierce.

I was still disgusted. I didn't expect that after so many years, the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace still disliked me.

When Wei Jingyi thought of the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, whose attitude was even worse than that of the Empress Dowager of the East Palace, she felt that her future was bleak. No other queen could be as miserable as she was.

Oh, these two Empress Dowagers, if they didn’t have legitimate sons to raise, they might have pulled her down from the throne of Queen long ago.

Anyway, she was never the final candidate for the queen of these two people. She just took advantage of the situation and got an easy opportunity.

Otherwise, it would be me instead of the Fifth Princess who died early.

"The Emperor likes to go to the Hehuan Palace recently. Sisters, are you just going to watch a little noble climb over our heads and bully us?"

Wei Jingyi's ears twitched and her brows furrowed. It was not because she hated Concubine Ning's words, but because she was dissatisfied with the way Concubine Ning addressed them.

sisters?

Who are your sisters in this harem? The sisters who are always ready to stab you in the back? Or the sisters who want to kill the other party for their own benefit?

As expected of the Minister of Rites' legitimate daughter, the rules she speaks of sound nice.

Wei Jingyi's lips curled up slightly, with a look of sarcasm. She did not look back, but continued walking forward on her own.

After Concubine Ning finished speaking, another female voice took over. It was the imperial concubine who never took other people seriously.

"Haha, Concubine Ning's words are really interesting, how come I didn't know that I have sisters?

My father has lived for many years and I am his only daughter."

Zhou Ningyan was wearing a rose-red palace dress. Although it was not pure red, it was particularly eye-catching.

His eyes swept over Concubine Ning with a condescending look. Zhou Ningyan felt that this person really didn't know how to read people's expressions. Wasn't she the daughter of the Minister of Rites? What about the rules and etiquette?

Concubine Ning:......

Concubine Ning's face turned slightly pale, making her pretty complexion even uglier.

Standing beside Concubine Ning was Concubine Shu.

Shufei's appearance is just like her name Shu, extremely dignified and elegant.

Well, to put it bluntly, the concubine had a smell of the mistress, which made Queen Wei Jingyi very unhappy.

"Your Highness, you misunderstood. Concubine Ning just made a slip of the tongue. It was not directed at you."

After saying this in a graceful manner, Concubine Shu reached out to support Concubine Ning and turned to leave.

The two had a good relationship before entering the palace, and they often walked together after entering the palace.

However, because Shufei was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Rites had always been at odds with each other in the court. This was a rare sight in the court.

Zhou Ningyan looked at Concubine Shu and Concubine Ning with a smile on her face. Concubine Ning couldn't bear it anymore and her face turned blue and white, then purple. But Concubine Shu had such an unmoved demeanor that even Zhou Ningyan felt inferior to her.

Humph, just pretending!

"Whether she did it unintentionally or not, she should go back and reflect on herself after saying such a stupid thing."

Zhou Ningyan's red lips slightly pursed, with a face as beautiful as spring flowers and autumn moon, made Concubine Shu particularly unhappy.

Everyone has someone they envy. Concubine Ning felt that she was too pretty and not dignified enough. Concubine Shu was fed up with her dignified looks and couldn't keep the Emperor in her Cuiwei Palace for long. Even if she was a concubine, what good was it? She still envied and was jealous of the favored concubines like crazy every day, wishing she could take their place.

"Okay, Madam, please pay attention to the occasion."

Wei Jingyi spoke up and scolded the three people who had just spoken in a low voice.

Li Guipin and Sun Jieyu, who had been acting as background figures, both breathed a sigh of relief.

Immortals fight, mortals suffer.

Although they both have children to rely on, their children have not grown up yet and they are not favored by the emperor. All they can do now is to keep a low profile and survive.

The other four saw the useless look of the two people and laughed at them.

The Queen laughed at them for being short-sighted, Concubine Zhou laughed at them for being timid and cowardly, Concubine Ning and Concubine Shu laughed at them for not being able to distinguish between good and evil. Anyway, everyone had her own pride. Even Concubine Li and Concubine Sun often felt fortunate to have the royal heir by their side, which was much better than the rootless duckweed of others.

At times like this, the eldest brother usually doesn't laugh at the second brother, and no one is nobler than the other.

The topic came to an abrupt end when the queen interrupted. The six people looked at each other, bowed to each other, and went home.

Concubine Ning turned her head to look at Concubine Zhou, who was walking gracefully, and felt so sick that she wanted to vomit blood.

Seeing his expression, Concubine Shu couldn't help but mock him in her heart, but this man didn't change his expression and was very good at pretending.

"Sister Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Shu supported Concubine Ning's arm and slowed down her pace. "Are you still thinking about what happened just now? Concubine Zhou has been like this since she entered the palace. Don't you know her temper? There's no need to bother with her. She's making you unhappy for no reason."

After listening to what Concubine Shu said, Concubine Ning felt even more upset. She was also pampered when she grew up at home, and even after entering the palace, she was ranked as a second-rank concubine.

What right did Zhou Ningyan have to say that about her? In terms of birth, she was a legitimate daughter, not a concubine, and she was much higher than the other party.

Has she ever heard her mother say that Zhou Ningyan's biological mother was just a maid who had slept with her stepmother and unfortunately died during childbirth?

If the Right Prime Minister had not had a daughter for many years, would the Prime Minister's wife want to adopt Zhou Ningyan? Wouldn't that be deliberately disgusting to herself?

snort!

Concubine Ning frowned and said, "Sister Qian, I was also very angry about Concubine Zhou's words.

Her background is not as good as ours if you look into it, but she was able to rely on her family to become a first-class imperial concubine and has always been superior to us."

Concubine Shu sighed, "What can we do? The Right Prime Minister has the Emperor's favor, and the two of us can hardly compete with Concubine Zhou."

It’s no exaggeration to say that the two of them tied together are not as important to the emperor as Zhou Ningyan alone.

Concubine Ning:......

Concubine Ning clutched her handkerchief angrily, "I can't swallow this."

Concubine Shu's eyes flickered, "How do you treat my sister?"

Concubine Ning had already forgotten about Shen Yao at this time. She was now concentrating on dealing with Concubine Zhou and getting back her reputation.

"Don't worry, sister. Let me think about it for a while," Concubine Ning suddenly thought that Concubine Zhou seemed to want a child very much. Hehe, it just so happened that her family recently sent her a prescription, which was said to be very effective, but had obvious side effects and would seriously damage the mother who was responsible for the pregnancy.

The Zhao family didn't send this recipe over for Concubine Ning to use herself.

Instead, he wanted Concubine Ning to take the initiative to find someone to give birth to a child for her.

Concubine Ning has been hesitating recently about whether to do this or not.

She is still young and may even get pregnant on her own in the future. Not to mention whether the adopted heir would be embarrassed to be around her, she herself does not want a child who is not of her own blood.

But for now, we can try out other people before choosing one.

Isn’t Zhou Ningyan the best candidate?

This person loves the emperor madly. She drinks at least 80 or 100 fertility potions every day. If I don't seize the opportunity to repay her, I will be sorry for targeting her.
