Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Taiji Hall Study

"Did Lady Xi really say that?"

After Xiao Yanchen finished dealing with today's affairs, he saw Wei Zhu, who had gone to the Hehuan Palace to deliver the reward, coming back with a troubled look on his face.

It doesn't take much to guess what this quirky little girl has done again.

Xiao Yanchen's question made Wei Zhu dare not hide anything. He hesitantly relayed Qiuyue's words to the emperor, then lowered his head and waited for his master to get furious.

After all, there have been concubines like this who liked to show off, and their final outcome was that they disappeared from the harem.

Oh my, how desperate is Concubine Xi to dare to speak to the Emperor like this.

Wei Zhu wailed in her heart that the seedling she had worked so hard to pick was gone.

As a result, after hearing this, Xiao Yanchen not only did not get angry as Wei Zhu expected, but he looked very happy.

Happy?

Huh, there really is something fishy going on.

Wei Zhu was horrified, and then he heard Xiao Yanchen's hearty laughter and doting words.

“In that case, go to the storehouse and deliver all those ornaments to Lady Xi.

Oh, right, there are two sets of ruby ​​headpieces and brocade tribute from Jiangnan, take them with you."

Xiao Yanchen waved his hand, and the accessories that were originally placed in the warehouse were immediately assigned to a new owner.

Wei Zhu was shocked. She never expected that her master would be so willing to do so.

You have to know that the two sets of ruby ​​head ornaments were tributes sent by vassal states. The emperor didn't even give face to Concubine Zhou and the Queen, and only gave two sets each to the Empress Dowagers of the East and West Palaces.

As a result, the only two sets left are going to be given to Concubine Xi in Hehuan Palace? Concubine Xi is so powerful.

"Come on, I obey your order."

Although her heart was in turmoil, Wei Zhu still managed to remain calm and steady.

After all, he is a servant serving the emperor. If he doesn't have such a little bit of common sense, he won't have any use for his future in front of the emperor. He will be replaced by others sooner or later.

Wei Zhu turned and left, and at the same time, he paid more attention to Concubine Xi in Hehuan Palace.

Now he can finally see something. Concubine Xi cannot be compared with other concubines in the harem. This person is a special one in the emperor's heart.

I don’t know how long this special situation will last, but as long as Concubine Chongxi can ask for all the ornaments in the warehouse to be handed over, well, it will definitely last longer than him.

If Concubine Xi gets pregnant again and gives birth to a child, it would be terrible.

Wei Zhu was happily paving the way for Shen Yao, little did he know that what he was thinking about was exactly what Shen Yao had already done.

As long as Shen Yao doesn't commit suicide on purpose, it will be difficult for her to fall out of favor.

Don't think this is an exaggeration. Shen Yao and Xiao Yanchen have been together for more than a month now, and the two can be said to have a tacit understanding in their cooperation. They are more compatible than those in the harem who have lived there for three years.

To survive in the harem, it is not the case that whoever stays longer will have an advantage.

Otherwise, why do we talk about a favored concubine?

The appearance of a favorite concubine must be the most special. She may not be the person who has been with the emperor the longest, but she must be the most special person in the emperor's heart.

Shen Yao just took control of Xiao Yanchen, allowing Xiao Yanchen to put her into his heart step by step.

At the moment, Xiao Yanchen might just think that Shen Yao is more interesting, so he pampers her more because he likes her.

These were just his later realizations. After all, who would give such a valuable gift just to show their favor to their loved one?

By the time Xiao Yanchen realized what was happening, would Shen Yao's status still rise? Impossible.

Wei Zhu went to the Hehuan Palace with a group of people behind him.

Because no one tried to conceal it on the way, the other concubines could also see the trays in those people's hands.

Well, my heart aches again.

I often ask myself why the Emperor likes Concubine Xi so much.

"How is this palace inferior to Concubine Xi? How can a woman from a small family be valued by the emperor?"

Concubine Ning stood at the entrance of Yufu Palace, vividly interpreting the words impotence and rage.

The maids surrounding Concubine Ning did not dare to speak and could only be careful to avoid being implicated.

"No, this won't do. If Concubine Xi becomes another Concubine Zhou, won't I be so depressed that I will die alone?"

After all, Zhou Ningyan was born in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, so what happened to Concubine Xi? The legitimate daughter of a fifth-rank official was so low-rank that she couldn't find anyone.

"You, go to Hehuan Palace early tomorrow morning," Concubine Ning pointed at the unlucky guy and said, "Please invite Concubine Xi to Yufu Palace. I want to teach her how to live in the harem."

Concubine Ning had a ruthless look on her face, and she destroyed her pretty face completely.

The palace maid who was caught by her was in despair, thinking that it was all over, her life was in danger this time.

The master and servant do not share the same joys and sorrows, but it is also true that if Concubine Ning was easy to talk to, she would not have become the recognized cancer of the harem.

This person just has a good family background, but her own father is not as brainless as her own daughter. Otherwise, with Concubine Ning's style of doing things, she would have died seventy, eighty or ninety times ago.

Calling people to her own Yufu Palace to cause trouble was just a routine operation for Concubine Ning. After all, she had done so before.

Even Imperial Concubine Zhou, who has now climbed above Concubine Ning, was often bullied by Concubine Ning when she first entered the harem. After all, Concubine Ning and Concubine Shu had entered the palace before the Emperor ascended the throne, so their starting point was higher than that of Imperial Concubine Zhou.

After Concubine Ning vented her anger, she felt relieved.

She smiled and waved her hand, asking someone to quickly clean up the room she had damaged, and then she went to the Cuiwei Palace, the residence of Concubine Shu next door.

Concubine Shu:...She is so unlucky. Who did she offend?

Concubine Shu looked down on Concubine Ning, but the frustrating thing was that Concubine Ning was more useful than ordinary concubines.

There are not many people who can be used as chess pieces under Concubine Shu now. After all, chess pieces are consumables, and you never know when you will have to abandon one in order to preserve yourself.

Only Concubine Ning has remained strong until now thanks to her family background.

For such a good candidate, Concubine Shu has to be patient and coax him even for her own convenience in the future.

In this way, Concubine Ning and Concubine Shu had been flirting with each other all the time. Even after entering the palace and both becoming concubines of the second rank, they still couldn't live without each other.

Those who know them understand that these two people are restless, while those who don’t know them would think that they are very affectionate sisters.

Anyway, the reputation of Yufu Palace and Cuiwei Palace was ruined long ago.

On the other side, Shen Yao was happily fiddling with the jewelry sent by Wei Zhu, completely unaware that a disaster was about to befall her the next day.

"Qiuyue, quickly register them, along with these two sets of ruby ​​headpieces.

Keep one set aside. Since the emperor has given it to me, I should take it out to show it to other sisters when we pay our respects the day after tomorrow."

By the way, she was showing off her favor. Hehe, Shen Yao felt that she had learned bad things after entering the palace for more than a month.

Sure enough, those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black.

It was all Xiao Yanchen’s fault for being so dishonest and bringing trouble upon himself, an innocent little woman.

Reaching out to stroke the sides of her temples, Shen Yao fiddled with the hanging red hairpins.

It’s great that she can endure this carefree life and do whatever she wants.

That night, because of what Xiao Yanchen did, Shen Yao's dreams were filled with scenes of being surrounded by all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry. Not to mention, when Shen Yao opened her eyes the next morning, she was exceptionally energetic, as if she had taken stimulants, and she didn't show any discomfort from getting up early.

Get dressed, wash and dress up.

Shen Yao tidied herself up and sat at the Eight Immortals Table, eating the breakfast that the palace servants had specially brought back from the imperial kitchen.

After all, Shen Yao was favored, and the servants in the imperial kitchen did not dare to deduct the share of Hehuan Palace in this regard.

Besides, Shen Yao was very generous. The rewards she received for preparing food for the Hehuan Palace were several times more than those received from other palaces.

Who wouldn't like such an easy and profitable job? Isn't it just serving people? They entered the palace to serve, so why worry about one more or one less?

Look, this is the real harem. As long as your value is high enough, no one will look down on you.

The breakfast was top-notch, not exceeding one's status. Even the millet porridge that Shen Yao drank was made from fresh rice ground by the palace servants.

In other words, the other concubines in the harem didn't know. If they knew, they would definitely be even more furious than they are now.

"I have nothing to do today, so I'll reorganize the items in the warehouse.

The Emperor has sent a lot of things recently, and it would be bad if something was missed."

Shen Yao felt that since she was pregnant, it was time to save some treasures for the baby in her belly.

The child's father is the child's father, and she is the biological mother. She can't just push all the children to Xiao Yanchen when the time comes.

Qiuyue nodded in agreement and put down the soup she had served to her master.

Shen Yao took it and lowered her head to smell the fragrant soup. She thought to herself that it was a good thing that she had taken a lot of pills, otherwise the early symptoms of pregnancy would have been enough for her.

Shen Yao slowly finished the bowl of soup in her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief.

"Please clear these from the table."

Waving her hand, Shen Yao got up and went to rest on the couch. As there was no time to pay respects or go to the Taiji Hall, she stayed at the Hehuan Hall.

Who made her pregnant successfully? Going out for a stroll at this time is not only extremely risky, but if she is caught by some jealous people, she will definitely be ridiculed. Anyway, Shen Yao is just a little noble now, so she doesn't want to go out and cause trouble for herself.

Qiuyue took the opportunity to ask the palace servant at the door to quickly serve Shen Yao a pot of warm tea.

She asked other people to come in and clean the table, and did not forget to take away the accounts behind the dressing table. Qiuyue did not forget what her master had just told her, that the things in the warehouse needed to be reviewed again.

Qiuyue was busy here, and Shen Fan in the room was reading the dialogue book in his hand with great interest, occasionally expressing his opinions on the contents of the dialogue book.

"Master, people from Yufu Palace are here."

Shen Yao raised her head, a smile on her face. She put down the book in her hand and said, "Yu Fu Palace, isn't that Concubine Ning's bedroom?"

What did Concubine Ning's people come here for? You have to know that she and Concubine Ning are not familiar with each other, and they can hardly talk to each other even when they pay their respects.

Qiuyue's expression was grim. "It was said that Concubine Ning wanted to invite the master to Yufu Palace to discuss something important."

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao looked at Qiuyue with a gloomy expression, "Qiuyue, does your master look like a fool?"

Qiuyue shook her head. If her master was stupid, then there would be no smart people in the harem.

It only took their master more than a month to easily control the emperor, causing him to gradually relax his bottom line.

As her master's personal maid, she was the most qualified to speak on how much benefit their Hehuan Palace had gained this month.
