Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 445 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (13)
"What a generous gesture! This piece of flowing yarn alone is worth a thousand gold coins."
The system was impressed by the emperor's generosity and sent him a valuable gift before they even met.
Tut tut
No wonder there are so many concubines in the harem vying for favor. Who doesn’t like this kind of life with people around and everything they want?
"Keep calm, this is just the beginning. As long as we can take that position, not only will this piece of flowing yarn, but the entire Yu State Treasury will be ours."
Shen Yao waved her hand and asked Xiaofu and Xiaoji to register the reward sent by Li Guiquan into the warehouse.
"Leave this hairpin here. It will be useful when you change your clothes later."
Treasures are to be displayed, not sealed up and covered in dust. Shen Yao tidied up her hair, intending to maintain her high-profile personality for the time being.
"Master, let me help you to wash and dress." Dinner will be eaten in the Qianqing Palace, and after dinner they will definitely stay overnight to sleep with the master, which is a unique favor from their master.
No matter who the emperor will summon to sleep with him in the future, the fact that Furong Palace has taken the lead is something that should make them happy, master and servant.
Shen Yao nodded and said, "Hurry up, don't waste time."
There is no guarantee that the meat will come out before it is eaten. The emperor is used to seeing the beauties in the harem, and he might come up with all kinds of ideas.
Shen Yao felt that since she was the first concubine to serve the emperor in the bedchamber, she might as well keep the time longer. The emperor's body could not wait too long, and she had to seize the time and get pregnant as soon as possible to control the situation.
The internal and external situations of the State of Yu were getting more and more serious. These were the future family businesses of their mother and son, and they must not be ruined by the emperor.
Before she even slept with the emperor, let alone got pregnant, Shen Yao already felt disgusted with the useless emperor. She sighed heavily in her heart, took out the pills she had prepared long ago and swallowed them. Shen Yao took off her clothes and soaked herself in warm water, closing her eyes and letting Xiaofu and Xiaoji clean and serve her.
By the time Shen Yao left Furong Palace in a sedan chair, the news that the emperor had summoned her to sleep with him had spread throughout the harem.
The Queen of Fengyi Palace remained silent and knelt in front of the Buddhist shrine, chanting scriptures and praying for blessings with great concentration, even though Nanny Gui mentioned that Shen Yao was the one who was promoted from the sixth-rank Baolin to the third-rank Jieyu.
"Mammy, no matter who the emperor favors, it has nothing to do with me.
The Xiao family is gone, the emperor is gone, and I am left with an empty throne and a promise that the emperor cannot keep. What can I do?"
The Queen's question was light and casual, but it shocked Nanny Gui so much that she was stunned.
Nanny Gui is the Queen's wet nurse. She has accompanied the Queen since she was a child and grew up with her. She watched her enter the palace from a young girl and become the Queen of the Central Palace who is the focus of everyone's attention. Then she witnessed her lose all her vitality and become like a soulless puppet.
The Queen's life has been hard. There has not been any sweetness along the way. Even though she kneels in front of the Buddhist shrine every day, it is just a means to get through the day.
Her real master died long ago.
With tears in her eyes, Nanny Gui stopped talking and leaned forward to let the Queen talk. Nanny Gui had heard such words too many times, but her heart ached every time she heard them.
My queen, what should I do to make my queen happier?
"Happiness? I can't be happy. How can there be any happiness in the palace?"
The imperial concubine shook the cup in her hand and brought it to her lips to taste it slowly.
Lianxiang, who was standing by, felt sorry for her master who was tormenting her again. Every time she received news from the emperor, her master would be depressed for a long time.
"master"
Lianxiang tried to snatch the cup from the imperial concubine's hand, but the imperial concubine dodged it flexibly.
The imperial concubine's eyes were hazy, her eyebrows were slightly drunk, but a closer look revealed only indifference. "Lianxiang, I am so miserable. Why have I come to this point? And the emperor can play happily with his new lover. I..."
The imperial concubine wanted to say more, but when she saw Lianxiang's horrified look, she immediately lost interest in speaking.
blah-
The cup in her hand was thrown aside and ignored. The imperial concubine sneered and waved her hand, "Alright, alright, can't I just shut up and say nothing?"
It's such a bummer. The people in this palace are so boring.
The imperial concubine got up and lay back on the couch to rest. She slept soundly after all the commotion. However, the maids like Lianxiang who served her closely were so exhausted that they broke out in cold sweats. A person who had gone mad while drunk was really scary. They must not let anything happen to their master again next time.
The news of the instability in Yongning Palace was sent to Cuihua Palace as soon as possible.
It is hard to say whether Concubine De truly loves the Emperor, but she definitely hates the Imperial Concubine.
As long as there is any movement in Yongning Palace, Cuihua Palace will definitely be the first to know the news.
It was the same today. Defei was originally admiring her own paintings. When she heard Yunxiang's report, she quickly put down the paper and pen in her hand and asked if the matter of the imperial concubine had become a big deal.
Yunxiang explained awkwardly, "Yongning Palace is heavily guarded, and the Imperial Concubine is not as powerful as the Empress, so she can't cause any trouble."
The only one who really dares to step on the emperor's face is the queen of Fengyi Palace. The imperial concubine only looks fierce, but she actually values the emperor and his family very much. She will never do anything that will damage the reputation of both parties.
De Fei snorted at this, "Yes, so the Imperial Concubine's life is frustrating, not much easier than mine."
In public, he was aggressive towards her as if he wanted to raise his eyes to the sky, but in private, he was timid and submissive and just sulked. It was really sad.
rue:……
Well, having said that, it seems that the master only dares to find fault with the imperial concubine. It can be said that the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother.
"The Emperor summoned Concubine Shen from Furong Palace to sleep with him," Concubine De whispered Shen Yao's name and said thoughtfully, "But who was the one who stood in front of Fengyi Palace this morning in a flowing gauze dress?"
Yunxiang nodded, "It's Concubine Shen. The emperor sent Eunuch Li to deliver a lot of flowing gauze. I think she is the new favorite to replace Concubine Tang in Changle Palace."
Concubine De chuckled, "New favorite? That also depends on whether the other newcomers have the ability."
If a dark horse emerges to compete for favor halfway, this Concubine Shen will just be cannon fodder.
Concubine De still prefers that Concubine Shen's position be removed at the swiftest possible moment, because this person does not play by the rules a bit, and both the speed of her promotion and the position given by the Emperor are worrying.
"What am I worried about? Anyway, I can't go far without any offspring."
Defei laughed suddenly and said something that Yunxiang didn't dare to respond.
After all, the most taboo thing in the palace is the issue of offspring. There were rumors of pregnancy a few years ago, but now there is no sign of pregnancy. The emperor is getting crazy and wants to try every method, but unfortunately there is no effect so far. I don’t know if the new concubines entering the palace this time can have such luck.
Whether there is or not, the key factor depends on the emperor.
Shen Yao was carried to the Qianqing Palace in a sedan chair and began her formal meeting with the emperor.
The appearance of the current emperor can only be described as slightly above average, and his majestic aura adds to his appearance.
"Your Highness, I, Shen, pay my respects to you. May your Highness be blessed with good fortune."
"My beloved concubine, no need to be polite"
Yu Yu took Shen Yao's hand and went to sit on the couch. They chatted face to face.
It mainly involves Yu Yu asking questions and Shen Yao answering them, and revolves around the Shen family and the palace.
Shen Yao:......
"My beloved concubine, are you feeling uncomfortable now that you have just entered the harem?" Yu Yu raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"No, I thank your Majesty for your concern. I am lucky to enter the palace, and it is my blessing to have your mercy on me. I..." Blah blah blah, Shen Yao said as exaggerated as she could, perfectly portraying the character of a simple love-minded girl.
After all, she entered the palace because of her admiration for the emperor, and was at a disadvantage from the very beginning.
Yu Yu was in a high position and heard countless kinds of flattery every day, but the strong love displayed by Shen Yao was straightforward and shy, which was something refreshing.
Yu Yu touched his cheek hastily, interrupted the conversation and mentioned that it was time for dinner.
Shen Yao: Virtue~
Shen Yao followed Yu Yu as obediently as a little wife to the main hall for dinner. She mustered up her courage and kept an eye on him.
Yu Yu: ... Concubine Shen’s love is a little too much, you can take some of it back appropriately.
Shen Yao refused to take it, and not only that, she became even more passionate and intense.
Yu Yu felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast, and the meal before him was like an execution.
What was going on? Usually the concubines were shy, nervous and fidgeting, but he was in control, managing the overall situation with ease.
This time, the two of them switched places, and it was Yu Yu who was unable to cope, while Shen Yao took control of the situation.
"Ahem, my beloved, aren't you hungry? You've worked hard at night, so you should eat more."
Yu Yu openly talked nonsense, making Shen Yao blush.
Putting down the chopsticks in her hand with a slight look of regret, Shen Yao picked up the bowl and plate and started eating.
The simple girl cannot fight back against the experienced old fox in this regard, but she can show with her actions that she is not tired at all, even if she has to work overtime at night.
After eating and drinking, the two of them strolled around the Qianqing Palace twice, then washed and changed their clothes to carry out the most important step of the day.
"Host, are you nervous?" I was trembling.
Shen Yao closed her eyes and enjoyed the rubbing service of the palace people. "Why should I be nervous? This is the most critical step for us to succeed. "This is called excitement.
Raising her hand to cover the corner of her mouth, Shen Yao secretly swallowed the pill that appeared in the palm of her hand. The meal just now was not in vain. The system took the opportunity to check the emperor's body. It can only be said that the situation is very bad. Even Shen Yao, who has a cheat code, has to rely on the effect of the pills, let alone other ordinary people?
"With such cannibalism in the harem, it is better to let the emperor abdicate as soon as possible."
Regardless of before or after entering the palace, Shen Yao has always treated the emperor as a tool. If he is useful, she will keep him for a while longer; if he is not useful, she will get off the line as soon as possible so as not to delay things.
Even though Yu Yu looks okay now, the system says that he is not a wise ruler, as he would let his confidant in Jiangnan secretly select concubines for him.
"Madam Concubine, it's time to get up."
In the mist of white air, there was a splash and Shen Yao stood up from the bathtub accompanied by the sound of water.
She wiped her body with soft, absorbent cloth, then applied moisturizing body ointment and perfume, and changed into the sleeping clothes that had been prepared long ago. Her hair was spread out and draped softly behind her head, with only a hairpin to hold it in place. Shen Yao put her hand on the palace maid's arm and slowly returned to the inner room of the Qianqing Palace.
