Chapter 441 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (9)

After relaxing and sleeping for a whole day and night, Shen Yao woke up with a clear mind and felt more relaxed than ever before.

Xiaofu was waiting at the door. When he heard the noise coming from the room, he immediately asked the young lady if she needed to wash and dress up.

Even though it's a little bright outside now, it doesn't matter. The most important thing is that the young lady is awake.

"Have father and mother sent anyone to reply?" Shen Yao got up and stretched her body. Sleeping for too long had its disadvantages, and her muscles were stiff.

"Miss, I have already arranged someone to report back," Xiaofu knew that the most popular person in the Shen family mansion now was her young lady, so how could she forget about this matter.

"Okay, I'll bring some snacks and drinks over later." Touching her somewhat empty stomach, Shen Yao decided to eat and drink her fill first before talking about other things.

Xiaofu responded with a smile, and even said that the meal had been prepared in the kitchen and would be served as soon as the young lady asked.

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows, "Did Big Brother send someone to prepare this?"

The most careful person in the Shen family is Shen Changyu, who is truly able to handle both state and family affairs. I believe her future achievements will not disappoint her.

"The eldest young master would send someone to inquire about the young lady's health every day. When the young lady was not at the Shen family, the eldest young master would arrange people to take care of the courtyard." During this period, a lot of items were added inside and outside the courtyard, all of which were made by Shen Changyu. Although they were not very valuable, between family members, the thought was the most important.

Anyone can give cold hard cash, but you can’t despise the caring that is shared.

"Brother is willing to take care of me, so I will naturally appreciate this favor." After entering the palace in the future, as long as Shen Changyu does not go too far, Shen Yao can give the Shen family some convenience.

Helping others helps yourself. It is difficult to gain a foothold in the harem without a family background.

Shen Yao set a high goal at the beginning, and in order to achieve her wish, she needed more help.

The Shen family is the most basic and important link. Fortunately, Shen Changyu was not led astray by Shen Chunbai, and fortunately, Mrs. Shen did not influence Shen Changyu much. Shen Yao is not afraid that Shen Changyu values ​​interests more than feelings. After all, only sufficient interests can last long. Who doesn't want a firm ally?

After washing up and having a delicious meal, Shen Yao got up and rushed to the study in the front yard.

I guess Shen Chunbai and Shen Changyu must have been getting anxious while she was resting.

"Haha, Yao'er, why don't you take a rest?" His expression showed that he wanted Shen Yao to repeat his every move and word in the palace for careful analysis, but he ended up speaking in a surprisingly considerate and sensible manner.

Shen Yao felt amused in her heart, but her face showed full of emotion. She said that she had rested long enough and came here today to explain her situation in the palace. "My daughter dare not speak too absolutely, but," Shen Yao bowed shyly, "The palace is busy and complicated, so please ask father and elder brother to prepare early."

Shen Chunbai, Shen Changyu: …? !!!

After hearing what was said, the father and son looked at each other in tacit understanding, and they could both see the shock and joy in each other's eyes.

Doesn't Yao'er/Fourth Sister's words mean that entering the palace is a sure thing?

It’s good that it’s stable now. The Shen family is saved!

Shen Chunbai couldn't help laughing out loud, his hearty voice spread far away, "Yao'er, your father was right about you." She is worthy of being the one who volunteered to participate in the talent show, she is indeed quite capable.

Shen Changyu clenched his fists and placed them behind his back, "Fourth sister, your big brother will help you take care of the items you need to bring into the palace, and you don't have to worry about the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Although the Shen family is not as powerful as some civil servants, they are not really useless.

Shen Yao thanked him sincerely, "Yao'er thanks father and big brother for their help."

Shen Chunbai waved his hand, "You and I are father and daughter, there is no need to be polite."

Shen Changyu followed closely behind, "I am your elder brother. If you need anything in the future, just write to the Shen family."

Of course, good relationships should be maintained with effort. It does no harm whether Shen Chunbai and Shen Changyu value Shen Yao's ability or the blood relationship between the two parties.

The three of them chatted for a long time in the study room about entering the palace.

They were all rather obscure contents that were not easy to express in words on a normal day. It was because Shen Yao was different now than before. A person's importance was revealed as his status rose. Just like Shen Rong and Shen Changhe before, they could not blame anyone for being gradually marginalized.

…………

Qianqing Palace

The emperor had just finished his official duties for the day and was sitting on the couch, listening to some music leisurely.

Not far away, the rich aroma of dragon fragrance slowly rose from the incense burner, making his whole face look majestic and solemn.

To be fair, most members of the Yu royal family were not good-looking, including Emperor Yu Yu. They just had been in high positions for a long time and had a sense of majesty without even getting angry, which made people feel submissive when they met them.

Li Guiquan held the booklet sent by the Queen and carefully presented it to Yu Yu.

"Your Majesty, this is the list of the new concubines' ranks and palace allocations. Please take a look."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yu took it casually and signaled all the actors who were singing the song to leave.

In just half a cup of tea, there was a snap and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

"You little dog slave, why are there so few people on the list?"

"Your Majesty, this, this, this is what the Queen wants, Queen..."

Snapped--

Inside and outside the Qianqing Palace, people knelt down one after another. Whether these palace servants appeared next to the emperor or not did not affect their surrender.

"Oh! Queen! What kind of queen is she?"

Li Guiquan wished he could bury his head in the ground. Listening to the gnashing curses coming from above his head, he secretly felt unlucky.

The Empress is really something. She was able to keep her position only because of the late emperor's will and the tragic death of the Xiao family while guarding the border. How could she not take it seriously?

Although the Queen's life is indeed miserable, and it has something to do with the Emperor, it is not a reason for her to provoke the Emperor every time.

You must know that the favor will be less every time you use it. If the Queen continues to be stubborn, sooner or later she will get herself into trouble.

After a while, just when Li Guiquan had finished cursing and pitying the queen in his mind, the voice above his head finally made him stand up.

Li Guiquan: ...It's not easy. It's not easy.

Li Guiquan endured the pain and got up from the ground, still hunched over and not daring to look up. After all, the matter had not yet passed, and the number of people on the roster was short. According to the emperor's intention, he would have to find the replacements elsewhere.

The emperor has not seen a child born in the palace for many years. He dreams of having an heir. Are there not enough people coming in? Just add more.

"Send a secret order to Cai Xin to select beautiful women from Jiangnan to fill the harem."

Cai Xin was an official serving in Jiangnan and also Yu Yu's most trusted and beloved minister. Handing the matter over to him would surely satisfy Yu Yu.

Li Guiquan thought that she had indeed come, and hurriedly nodded with a smile, but the list said, "I dare to say that Shen Yao, the daughter of Lieutenant General Shen, is a bit too low to live in Hibiscus Palace with the rank of a sixth-rank treasure."

After all, she was the daughter of a third-rank official, and she was promised a place in the Hibiscus Palace by the Emperor himself. Wasn't the position given by the Empress an insult? It really made sense that she was getting worse and worse.

"Shen Yao" Yu Yu remembered. She had a good figure and good looks. She was his preferred type.

The sixth rank Baolin? The queen is really talented, and she still has the nerve to find fault with me? Why doesn't she ask to be deposed and live in the cold palace? She's just pretending!

"The rank of Sixth Rank Baolin is indeed a bit low, so let's promote her to Third Rank Concubine."

Yu Yu easily confused Li Guiquan with just one sentence, huh?

From the sixth rank Baolin to the third rank Jieyu, she was promoted three ranks in just a few words? Oh my god, Jieyu Shen is so lucky!

"Yes, I understand."

Li Guiquan did not try to persuade his master to calm down, let alone say that Zheng Shiying, the daughter of a Grand Secretary, was only a second-rank concubine, and that others who were of higher status than Shen Yao were only third-rank concubines. If that were to spoil the fun, the Empress was enough. As a servant serving his master, what mattered was that he should do his job honestly and according to the rules.

Turning around and leaving with the changed roster in his hand, Li Guiquan sighed that luck was something hard to say and that Concubine Shen was the lucky one.

"Lucky? This is a situation where danger and opportunity coexist. The Third Rank Concubine is holding a hot hand."

Shen Yao held her chin in her hand. Everything that happened in the palace was broadcasted in real time by the system. Although she was not able to actually participate, she was also considered a witness.

"Host, what's going on between the emperor and the queen?" I feel like there are so many hidden secrets.

Shen Yao smiled, "We each have different interests. The queen now only has an empty title, so of course she is unhappy that the emperor has everything."

To put it simply, one partner lost money while the other made huge profits, and the comparison between the two led to unhappiness.

system:……

The host metaphor is unexpectedly simple and clear. It is true if you think about it carefully. Husband and wife should be together. If they cannot advance and retreat together, there must be problems on both sides. When you think about the situation of the emperor and the queen, wow, it involves the struggle for imperial power, which is really cruel.

"Third rank Jieyu, sixth rank Baolin," Shen Yao chuckled, somewhat thankful that the Queen and the Emperor, this cheap couple, were fighting each other, otherwise she would have to work hard in private if she wanted to be promoted.

Now, you can directly become the master of the first palace. If you get pregnant, you can be promoted to a higher level. If you give birth successfully, you can be promoted to another level.

As expected, it is easy to get promoted in this palace as long as you know the method.

"What? A third-rank imperial concubine, just because she's the concubine's daughter of a third-rank lieutenant general?"

Is the emperor crazy? Why didn't the queen stop him?

In the main hall of Yongning Palace, the imperial concubine was eating her favorite fruit plate, but she didn't expect the news brought by her maid to be so unappetizing.

The imperial concubine was so angry that her brows were raised and her chest was heaving. She was about to curse loudly, but was stopped by Lianxiang.

"Master, the matter is a foregone conclusion. It's not worth it for you to be angry about it." He was so angry that he got sick and no one knew about it.

The imperial concubine swung her sleeves and said, "When I first entered the palace, I was only a third-rank imperial concubine." She is also the daughter of the Grand Tutor and the daughter of the Lieutenant General? What a nobody!

Lian Xiang: ...

"Master, the other party is so unworthy of his position. After entering the palace, he will be targeted by everyone. Why don't we sit back and wait for the outcome?"

Lianxiang had served the imperial concubine for many years, so she of course understood that the imperial concubine's defenses were somewhat broken.

The imperial concubine, who always prided herself on her good family background, looked down upon anyone who was inferior to her.

Concubine Shen, who had not yet entered the palace, violated the taboo of the imperial concubine. Although this matter had nothing to do with Concubine Shen, it was Concubine Shen who enjoyed all the benefits.

It is said that thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all blessings from heaven.

The reason why Concubine Shen made enemies in the harem this time was because she had too much grace from Heaven.
