Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

The clothes and accessories for the interview have been delivered in advance, and Shen Yao will change her clothes and go through the process later.

It was really just a formality, because the emperor had to sit behind a screen, and the only concubines the concubines the showgirls could see were the empress, the royal concubine and the virtuous concubine.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the Queen worships Buddha all year round and ignores the mundane affairs of the harem, it is questionable whether she can appear in this interview. Whether she can be selected depends entirely on the daily records of the maids in the Weiyang Palace and the Emperor's consideration and weighing of the family background of the concubines.

The reason why Shen Yao was confident in herself was because of the gossip she had mentioned to Shen Chunbai before, as well as her own speculation about the emperor's taste and aesthetics.

Shen Yao is beautiful, but the appearance of this body is too harmless and pure, which is the type that is most in demand in the harem and the one that the emperor trusts the most.

People's preferences are often grouped together rather than just one. Moreover, Shen Yao has performed well in the Weiyang Palace for half a month. Her figure always appears in the daily reports of the maids (due to the system's secret reports). There is a 90% chance that the emperor will keep her.

As for the remaining 10%, there was off-site assistance arranged previously.

"Miss Shen, it's getting late. We should go to Changxin Palace."

The palace maid waiting outside the door gave a reminder, and the same words appeared in different rooms of Weiyang Palace, making the entire palace come alive.

Fengyi Palace, which is far away from Weiyang Palace, presents a different scene.

"Niang Niang"

Nanny Gui stood beside the Queen, her eyes full of helplessness.

"Mammy, just say that I am not feeling well today, and let the Imperial Concubine do this for me."

The queen straightened her back and knelt in front of the Buddhist shrine with an expressionless face, chanting scriptures and praying.

This is what she has been doing for years since her premature birth. It seems that only in this way can she soothe the emptiness in her heart and sleep well at night.

Nanny Gui opened and closed her mouth, and finally sighed helplessly, "Yes, I understand."

Turning around and leaving the small Buddhist hall, Nanny Gui waved her hand to call the maid who was waiting not far away, "Let's go to Yongning Palace. I heard that the Queen's health has not yet fully recovered. Thank you for your trouble in the face-to-face selection today, Imperial Concubine."

Maid:......

"Mammy, the Queen... " The maid looked at the back of the person kneeling in the Buddhist temple in disbelief, thinking that the Queen was really good-tempered. Now people in the palace only knew the Imperial Concubine and not the Queen, but the Queen didn't care at all.

"The queen has her own ideas. Please go and come back quickly. Don't waste time."

Nanny Gui signaled the maid to leave quickly and not to waste her time.

The maid hurriedly nodded in agreement, muttering in her heart that the Queen was too easy-going, which led to the people in Yongning Palace always taking advantage of her.

Alas, I hope that this trip will go smoothly. Otherwise, I will have to swallow my anger if I am bullied. After all, the Queen doesn't care about these things.

Even if you are the Queen of Yu State, the mother of a country, it is not easy to be unloved.

"Oh, this is the Queen's own choice, who can you blame?"

In the main hall of Yongning Palace, the imperial concubine was sitting on a round stool while her maidservant was helping her wash and dress. She looked indifferent when she heard the report coming from outside.

"Your Majesty, why does the Queen always indulge in the past?"

There were too many things like this that were pushed onto their masters, and the slaves could not understand it. If she didn't do her own work and always wanted to pass it off to others, then what was the point of being a queen?

"Lianxiang, it's not that the Queen is obsessed with the past, it's that she simply can't get over it."

The imperial concubine covered her mouth and laughed foolishly. Her golden hairpins jingled, and her clothes were embroidered with large peonies, making her look extremely noble.

"There are few old people in our palace, and there are some things you young people don't know."

The Imperial Concubine was one of the first people selected to enter the palace after the current emperor ascended the throne. She was born into a noble family and is very talented. If her father had not disagreed with the emperor on political affairs in the past few years, the position of Empress should have been replaced long ago.

With a cold snort, the imperial concubine allowed the maid to straighten the front of her clothes.

The culprit still has the nerve to pretend to be a victim, just to fool the newcomer who knows nothing. The queen? Just a living dead.

I don't know what she was thinking of, but the imperial concubine's expression suddenly turned ugly, "Let's go, don't let my sisters wait anxiously."

With a flick of her sleeves, the imperial concubine got on the sedan chair outside the door and went out with the palace servants in a grand procession.

On the way, she met Concubine De who was also heading to Changxin Palace, and Guifei made some sarcastic remarks to her.

Both of them had high-ranking officials in the court in their families, and both of them were talented women, so they showed signs of jealousy when they met each other.

In recent years, Defei's grandfather retired and returned to his hometown. On the surface, he could not compete with Guifei, so the relationship between the two eased a little.

"Greetings, Sister Imperial Concubine."

Although Concubine De had a plain appearance, she had a rare temperament. Talking to her made one feel as if one was bathed in a spring breeze.

Unfortunately, Defei's ability was ineffective in front of Guifei.

"I dare not accept this comfort from Concubine De. I am not as eloquent as Concubine De. I am afraid that if I am not careful, Concubine De will misunderstand me and the emperor will blame me."

Reaching out her hand casually to flick away the non-existent dust on her clothes, the imperial concubine waved her hand to urge the palace maids to hurry up, "Why didn't you check the almanac before going out today?

Lianxiang, next time you encounter something like this, remember to take another path."

Concubine De: ...

Although both of them were first-rank concubines, Concubine De was ranked last among the four concubines, while Concubine Gui was ranked first among the four concubines. There was a difference of half a rank between the two, so every time they met, Concubine De had to tolerate Concubine Gui.

But the imperial concubine acts as she pleases and has no idea how to restrain herself.

snort!

Is this also worthy of being called a talented woman?

It’s a pity that Master Zhou had such a good upbringing, but she is just a stepdaughter.

After the imperial concubine's sedan chair had gone far away, Defei told the palace maids to follow.

Yunxiang, the maid who served Concubine De, was always concerned about her master's situation. Seeing that her master was in a bad mood, she hurriedly used the people around her to make indirect accusations to help her master relieve her emotions.

Defei smiled faintly and said, "Nothing. I've been an old rival of the Imperial Concubine for so many years, and the palace has long been accustomed to the way she speaks." It was a pity that when Shufei died of illness at the end of winter last year, the Imperial Concubine was not able to die with her. It was all her fault that she was too soft-hearted and hesitated about the packet of medicine.

Looking down at her beautiful and slender fingers, Concubine De suddenly asked Yunxiang, "Who is favored recently, Lady Tang from Changle Palace?"

Yunxiang was startled, then nodded, "Master, it's Lady Tang, an old lady from the Imperial Concubine's Yongning Palace."

After she came in, she was assigned to Yongning Palace, and then she fell ill. She had to recuperate for almost two years. Only recently did I see the emperor promote her to Beauty. She is currently considered the new favorite in the palace. I heard that there are signs that she will be promoted to Concubine.

Defei pinched the handkerchief and covered the corner of her mouth with one hand, "In addition to Concubine Tang, who is a pearl in the ocean, there are several other people in Yongning Palace who are said to be good-looking, but they just lack a bit of luck and opportunity." After all, Yongning Palace is the territory of the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine is domineering, cruel, and vindictive. Who would dare to compete for favor in Yongning Palace?

Yunxiang's eyes turned, and she immediately understood what her master was planning. She smiled and said that there were indeed a few concubines in Yongning Palace who were pitiful. They came from humble families and could not even get a fifth-rank talent.

If their master wants to lend a hand, I believe the Baolin ladies will definitely be willing to do so.

"Find an opportunity to help them. They are sisters, and I don't want to see them lonely and helpless." It would also cause trouble for the Imperial Concubine, and Defei was very happy.

Yunxiang lowered her head and replied yes, keeping her master's words in mind, while thinking about choosing the right opportunity to push the person out.

This master and servant are quite interesting. Most of their attention is on the imperial concubine, and they don't really care about favors.

"Isn't it normal that you don't value them? The age of the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine is no less than two years of the Emperor's age. Given the Emperor's extraordinary ability to get tired of the old and love the new, the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine's competition for favor would only bring disgrace upon themselves."

After changing her clothes and putting on her jewelry, Shen Yao stood outside the Changxin Palace with a normal expression.

All around were beauties dressed the same as Shen Yao. They were formed into groups and lined up in a long queue. Not far away was a giant screen.

The emperor and his companions had not arrived yet, so Shen Yao had nothing to do so she chatted with the system.

As a system that had overheard a lot of gossip in the harem, the few words that popped up occasionally could help Shen Yao roughly understand the situation in the harem.

For example, the Queen is on the loose, the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine have always been at odds, the Concubine Shu, who just left the palace last year, has a secret, and the new favorite, Concubine Tang, is an old person in the Imperial Concubine's palace...

"Host, it feels like it's not easy to get by in the palace," the system touched its nonexistent chin, "even if the host gives birth to a child, it will take a lot of effort to raise him up, "even the emperor cannot be trusted, tut tut tut, how miserable."

"There were no easy inner houses in ancient times." Otherwise, how did palace fighting and house fighting come about?

Human hearts are not easily satisfied, and the struggle to win or lose is inevitable no matter where you are.

They stood there chatting, and as time got closer, the sedan chairs of the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine appeared one after another. As for the Empress and the Emperor, one did not come at all, and the other arrived later.

The imperial concubine's dress is always gorgeous and ostentatious, which is completely contrary to her name and background.

In fact, the imperial concubine was not like this when she first entered the palace. Just like her name Zhou Shuyun, she had her own charm and elegance, and was not ordinary.

What led to the current trend of wearing red and green and having hair full of gold hairpins?

Maybe it was because of her first miscarriage? Or was it because her biological father, Grand Tutor Zhou, repeatedly challenged the emperor? Or was it because there were so many new people entering the palace, and the emperor lingered in the harem instead of Yongning Palace?

When Concubine De looked at the Imperial Concubine who was completely different from before, she felt dazed for a moment.

She suddenly smiled and secretly blamed herself for thinking too much.

Who in the harem is not pitiful? If Zhou Shuyun is considered pitiful, then other concubines can be said to be even more miserable, including herself. Who has such a strong confidence and background as Zhou Shuyun?

Her wandering thoughts returned to normal in the blink of an eye. Defei lowered her eyes and touched the auspicious cloud pattern on her arm. When she heard the imperial concubine impatiently asking the concubines to come forward and ask questions, a cold look came out in her eyes.

Sure enough, the concubines in the palace are not likable, and the sisters outside are also annoying.

The emperor is such a greedy man. Having these sisters and brothers is not enough, he even wants to select concubines to enter the palace again. It really makes people feel uncomfortable.

The concubines lined up and bowed, meticulously demonstrating the palace rules they had learned. Even if they had a wealthy family and a father who was a Grand Secretary, they had to listen to the orders of the two above them.
