Chapter 440 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (8)
"Sister Defei, do you know when the emperor will come?"
The imperial concubine waved her hand casually and waved away the concubines who had just stood there.
All the concubines were angry but dared not speak out. Even if the imperial concubine did not take them seriously, they could only keep their frustration in their hearts.
Concubine De shook her head innocently, "Even the Imperial Concubine sister doesn't know, let alone my sister."
The Imperial Concubine sneered when she heard this, "Sister Defei really likes to joke. Compared to my sister who can't see the Emperor all year round, I have the honor of accompanying him from time to time."
Still saying you don’t know? Concubine De knows best!
The Imperial Concubine looked down upon the bad behavior of the De Concubine who pretended to be ignorant, as if she was innocent. In fact, it was needless to say how many schemes she had in mind.
The two did not speak, they just looked at each other and sparks and lightning flew.
"Wow, the relationship between the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine is so bad, they won't fight on the spot, will they?"
It's so strange that the system couldn't help but express its opinion when seeing the excitement.
"Don't think about it. The Emperor is coming."
Shen Yao stood at the edge of the third row, moved her toes slightly inward, half revealing her profile, and with a sharp and high-pitched voice of "The Emperor has arrived", everyone half-knelt to greet him.
The breeze lifted a few strands of Shen Yao's hair at the temples, and brought a hint of fragrance into the nose of the current emperor.
The emperor took a step forward and paused for a moment before continuing forward. His peripheral vision naturally caught the slender curves and pretty face of the girl in front of him.
Li Guiquan, who was one step behind the emperor, secretly felt that a new favorite had appeared. It seemed that the dream of the Tang beauty to become a concubine would not come true.
We have to send someone to ask about the name of the new lady. If she catches the emperor's eye, she can at least be promoted to a fifth-rank talent. If her family background is not low, she can also be considered for a fourth-rank beauty or a third-rank imperial concubine.
Apart from the four concubines, three wives and nine imperial concubines who have clear restrictions, the other positions in the harem are up to the emperor's wishes. As long as the emperor is satisfied, nothing is impossible.
"Your Majesty, long live the emperor."
"Noble Consort, Virtuous Consort, no need to be polite."
The emperor nodded to the two concubines and casually asked about the situation of the concubines.
Although the emperor had his back to them at this time, the concubines did not dare to speak casually. They even dared not to look up, because looking directly at the emperor was considered a mistake.
Shen Yao:......
"The palace rules are so strict that during the Lantern Festival, when the emperor went up to the city tower to celebrate with the people and officials, there was no rule that forbade him to look directly at the emperor's face."
Moreover, in order to catch a glimpse of the emperor, many people pushed forward, causing many Yulin guards who tried to stop them to be injured, but the people were still safe.
The emperor even allowed the people to do so, because he was confident in his appearance and felt it was reasonable for the people to want to see him. Even though there were always people making trouble during the Lantern Festival, the emperor still did his own thing.
Now that we have moved to the palace with the tightest security, the palace rules have become more and more demanding, which really makes people want to complain.
'Host, you have to know that the whole world is just a huge makeshift team.
There are more absurd things happening in the palace than just this one, so why bother with them?'
The system began to persuade the host to focus on the interview first, and to perform well when the emperor came.
'To dare to play tricks in front of so many people is to ask for trouble.
Don't worry, I've already shown off my skills a little bit earlier, and now I'm just waiting for the interview to be over.'
Maybe her information has already been placed in front of the emperor, so there is no need for her to reveal anything deliberately.
"Please come forward, ladies, and pay your respects."
As the beauties in front stepped back, Shen Yao's row was finally able to show their faces.
"Your humble servant pays respects to the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine. Long live the Empress."
After calmly bowing and greeting, Shen Yao lowered her eyes to look at the hem of her dress.
"The one at the edge, is she the daughter of Lieutenant General Shen?" The emperor sat on a chair, casually flipping through the list of concubines sent by Li Guiquan.
This man had just come from the Qianqing Palace and was annoyed to death by the government affairs of the court officials. Now he found a girl among the concubines who attracted him, and he immediately paid attention to her.
"Your Majesty, she is the daughter of Lieutenant General Shen," Li Guiquan tacitly suppressed the fact that Shen Yao was a concubine's daughter. Her background was recorded in the roster, so it was not appropriate for him to say anything more.
"Well, do you know why Admiral Shen's other daughter didn't run for the election?"
The emperor had a dignified look on his face, and the simple questions he asked were full of oppression.
Li Guiquan leaned forward and explained in a low voice, "It is said that the person is not feeling well. In addition, the person in front of us has admired Your Majesty for a long time. Shen, the lieutenant general, loves his daughter very much, so he thought for a long time before reporting this person to the palace."
Nothing can be hidden from the palace's investigation, even though Shen Yao and Shen Chunbai, father and daughter, don't want to hide it.
After hearing this reason, the emperor was obviously interested and waved his hand to signal Li Guiquan to continue.
Li Guiquan recounted the story of the Lantern Festival that Shen Yao had told him. Those who didn't know would have thought that he had seen it with his own eyes. It was a pity that he didn't become a storyteller.
"Hahahahaha, so that's how it is. This time I will forgive Lieutenant General Shen for executing first and reporting later.
You should remember her and choose Furong Palace as the palace. It is close to Qianqing Palace and is just right for her to live in. "
The emperor casually decided on Shen Yao's arrangements with just a few words, and everyone who heard it thought it was a good idea.
Yes, it is such a great honor to be remembered by the emperor. Isn't this what the participating beauties are fighting for?
The system watched the entire process of the emperor's actions, and in the end only left a few dots to represent its speechlessness.
No wonder it was said that the State of Yu was doomed. With such a willful and selfish emperor and an unhealthy (zero) number of offspring, it would have been difficult for the State of Yu to avoid destruction.
Looking at the host who had escaped unscathed from the questioning by both the Imperial Concubine and the Virtuous Concubine, the system wanted to tell this good news, but it felt that it lacked a sense of mystery if it said it now, and it was really torn.
Shen Yao:......
Although the system is silent when the microphone is muted, it exists in Shen Yao's mind. As Shen Yao experiences more missions and her own perception becomes stronger, she can vaguely detect the emotional state of the system.
Even if the system is not a person.
"What's going on? Is there no space for you?"
Shen Yao teased the system for having ADHD. The solid clouds that were condensed floated and fell, and occasionally changed their appearance and color.
Well, it's a bit like those colorful balloons, changing colors very frequently.
"Host, the emperor just mentioned you and plans to arrange for you to live in Hibiscus Palace."
The system spoke anyway. It felt uncomfortable if it didn't speak. It couldn't hold back its words.
"This means that my chances of entering the palace are secure. This is good news."
The selection of the showgirls was only a little short of the end, but Shen Yao already knew her ending. How could this not be considered cheating? It was much easier than some people.
system:……
"Host, don't you think this is a joke?" "No procedures were followed. It was all based on the emperor's whim."
This further proves that the emperor is incompetent and that the palace rules are just useless decorations.
Shen Yao:......
"What are you kidding? I'm not going to the palace to have a love affair with the emperor." Some things cannot be seen only from the disadvantages and not the advantages.
The emperor was so quick to give positions and arrange palaces. Doesn't this just show that as long as you have control over the emperor in the harem, you can get whatever you want easily?
Compared to the emperor who has strict rules and regulations and must follow all palace rules in everything, Shen Yao prefers the emperor who is a little more casual.
'What we want is different from the previous world. Following the rules is not suitable here.' Such a harem is very suitable for reaching the sky in one step.
The hair hanging down on both sides of her temples concealed the fire of ambition in Shen Yao's eyes.
As the selection of the concubines came to an end, they were led back to Weiyang Palace by the maids, and the packages they brought were packed up and delivered to the gate of the palace by a special person, which also announced the end of their selection journey.
"Fourth sister, fourth sister"
Shen Rong stood in front of the carriage and waved vigorously. When she saw Shen Yao coming, she ran over and hugged her.
"Fourth sister, how are you doing in the palace? Your family has been worried about you these days," Shen Rong spoke blandly. She talked about the people who came out early, some big and small things that happened at home, and finally she carefully glanced at Shen Yao's expression and carefully determined her emotions.
After all, not everyone who has passed the selection process will be able to enter the palace and become a queen. A small number of them are also granted to several royal princes.
Shen Rong felt a little unspeakable worry in her heart. She hoped that her fourth sister would get what she wanted, but she also felt that it was better not to be chosen. With so many concubines unable to give birth to children, it certainly couldn't be entirely due to her personal reasons.
What if my fourth sister ends up like them and ends up living alone in the palace?
"Third sister, I'm fine. I just finished the interview and I'm a little tired from standing all the time."
Shen Yao held Shen Rong's wrist, smiled and leaned back on the soft pillow behind the car to relax.
After hearing this, Shen Rong let out a cry and began to massage Shen Yao's hands and legs.
Shen Yao:......
Shen Rong had never done this kind of serving work, so if she was allowed to do so, she would end up with good intentions but end up with bad results.
Shen Yao quickly pulled Shen Rong to sit firmly, saying that she just needed to take a short rest. As for the results of the selection, her chances of entering the palace were very high.
The probability is very high? Then it’s done!
Shen Chunbai and Shen Changyu looked happy, while Mrs. Shen and Shen Changhe each had their own awkwardness. As for where was Shen Rong? She was sending Shen Yao back to her room.
After being on edge for more than half a month, Shen Yao only had time to explain a few things when she returned to the mansion before finding an excuse to go back and relax.
It will take three days for the imperial edict from the palace to come down, so Shen Yao can stay at home for a few more days.
There was no need to ask some questions in a hurry. Shen Chunbai and Shen Changyu were very willing for Shen Yao to have a rest. The most critical step had been passed safely, and the rest had little to do with the entire Shen family.
After all, they are a family of military generals. The royal family and the court are on guard against them. Even they themselves are a little timid. It is not easy to get to this point today.
"We must fully support Yao'er," Shen Chunbai stroked his beard and asked Madam Shen to take out the Shen family's silver for use. Although concubines were not allowed to bring too many items into the palace, it was understandable for them to take some things that could be kept in the bottom of the box.
"Dad, we need to arrange for staff at the Imperial Medical Bureau," Shen Changyu felt that palace servants could not be sent in for the time being, but they could try their best in other areas. This was also an inspiration he got from the Imperial Observatory. Only when they had their own people to take care of their food, clothing and other expenses could they feel at ease.
"Changyu is right. I'll leave this matter to you. The Shen family will still rely on you in the future." So it will not do any harm to Shen Changyu to get closer to Shen Yao as much as possible.
Shen Changyu smiled and nodded, then turned around and went out to get busy.
Shen Chunbai was even more satisfied when he saw this. Only Mrs. Shen and Shen Changhe, who were completely ignored, were sulking.
