Chapter 449 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (17)

When the hibiscus flowers in Hibiscus Garden were in full bloom, the beautiful ladies from Jiangnan entered the palace.

At this time, it was already the end of May.

Unlike Shen Yao and the others, the beauties in Jiangnan generally came from humble backgrounds, had outstanding looks and possessed skills. The highest rank they could get after entering the palace was no more than a fifth-rank talent, but they brought a sense of urgency to everyone.

Before Shen Yao could do anything, Furong Palace received concubines who came to ask for cooperation one after another. Most of them aimed to jointly resist these concubines from Jiangnan and prevent them from gaining a foothold in the palace.

Shen Yao:......

'They only get so nervous when they are threatened.'

On normal days, he would have wanted to be 800 meters away from Furong Palace, but now that the distance was so different, he started to make alliances, but unfortunately Shen Yao didn't buy it.

The system feels that the entry of these Jiangnan concubines into the palace has, to a certain extent, made things convenient for the host. Given the emperor's promiscuous nature of falling in love with every woman he sees, the host will soon be forgotten.

'By then, the host will have safely passed the first three months. Even if there is disturbance inside and outside the palace, we will have an excuse to protect the fetus.' After all, there is no solution to the system cheating. As long as the host does not leave Hibiscus Palace, any 'added ingredients' sent in will not affect the offspring in the host's belly.

"You can't help it, don't you see who is working in the Imperial Hospital?" "Even the Shen family can be bribed when they are outside the palace, so you can imagine the others.

The reason why the emperor has no offspring to this day is not only due to internal factors, but also external factors.

Shen Yao touched her flat belly and said that she would be exposed in two and a half months at most, and the first blow she would face would probably come from the emperor.

System: ...Ah?

The system doesn't understand why he said that. Whether as a father or as an emperor, the emperor is looking forward to the birth of this child.

"But this does not mean that the heir to the throne can threaten the imperial power. Don't forget the previous example of the Shufei family."

The bad luck of Concubine Shu might really be related to the royal heir. After all, the Ji family rose to power because of Concubine Shu's favor, reached the peak because of Concubine Shu's pregnancy, and finally fell into bad luck because of violating the royal taboo, and Concubine Shu fell into the abyss with her, from which there was no recovery.

Shen Yao and the current Shen family are quite similar. In particular, the brothers Shen Changyu and Shen Changhe were both placed in the Yulin Guard by the emperor for training. Shen Chunbai has also been active in the court recently. If Shen Yao announced her pregnancy at this time... it is not difficult to imagine how lively the Shen family would be.

system:……

The system began to feel scared and said that everything was going according to the host's plan. It believed that the host would be able to get through it safely and lead the Shen family to the peak of their lives.

Shen Yao:......

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

The system has also learned the essence of being mixed up. Shen Yao rolled her eyes in her heart and said, "I told you to keep an eye on Furong Palace, don't forget this."

The system guarantees, "We caught a few traitors a few days ago, I believe others will not dare to act rashly."

Shen Yao nodded, "Yes, it's not easy to get people in. If you don't get enough money back, it will be a loss-making business."

Therefore, the remaining palace servants will definitely be honest and cautious for a while, until there is some benefit in Furong Palace that makes them willing to take risks.

For example, the news about Shen Yao’s pregnancy, or something that could hold something against Shen Yao.

…………

"Master, the servants from Fengyi Palace just sent a message saying that everything will be fine for tomorrow's visit."

Xiaoji came in hurriedly from outside, bowed and walked up to Shen Yao to report.

Raising her hand to interrupt Xiaofu's action of putting makeup on her, Shen Yao turned sideways and asked Xiaoji, "Who did Fengyi Palace tell about this?"

Xiaoji tilted his head and thought for a moment before saying, "We have arranged for someone to inform the palace of the master of one palace."

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows when she heard that, and stood up, took Xiaofu's arm and walked to the couch. Her hair was only half combed and half fixed at the back of her head, but it didn't look ugly at all.

"Since it is arranged by the Queen, we will go there normally tomorrow."

Shen Yao tapped the coffee table between the couches with her fingers bent, and propped her chin up with emotion, "It's been almost two months since I entered the palace, and it's really hard to see the Queen."

"Who said it wasn't? The Queen is so mysterious, I wonder what will happen next when she shows up."

In the main hall of Yongning Palace, Lianxiang had just told her master the news when she was greeted by the imperial concubine's impatient complaints.

Lianxiang raised her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Your Majesty, perhaps the Queen's health has improved," and it doesn't necessarily mean she's causing trouble.

The imperial concubine looked at Lianxiang in surprise when she heard this, "Do you believe this?"

Lianxiang: ...To be honest, I really don’t believe it.

"The queen is in good health," the imperial concubine couldn't help but say sarcastically, "even healthier than your master."

Speaking of the Queen, I feel unhappy. Originally, the Imperial Concubine was uncomfortable because of the concubines in Jiangnan, and now the debuff is added, so the Imperial Concubine is cursing even more.

"Please prepare the golden silk dress that I treasure. Tomorrow in the main hall of Fengyi Palace, I want to see what tricks the Queen can come up with."

The imperial concubine said this viciously, and then her sharp eyes swept over the other palace servants around her.

The palace maids knelt on the ground in tacit understanding, together with Lianxiang, begging their master to calm down.

"Ha! So funny! If the imperial concubine could control her temper, she wouldn't be able to sit in that position today."

Defei covered her cheek, which had already healed, with one hand, and spoke bad things about the imperial concubine to Yunxiang with a gloomy face.

Ever since she was slapped by the Imperial Concubine last time, Defei's mood has been a little abnormal. Yunxiang often sees her master talking to herself, but her master herself has no memory of it at all.

At the moment, Yunxiang agreed with Defei's harsh words on the surface, but in her heart she was wondering why the Ye family outside the palace had not sent the letter yet. It was obvious that her master could no longer bear the pressure in the palace, but the Ye family kept forcing her master to move forward.

Poor thing, her master was also simple and beautiful in her early years. It’s all the fault of the emperor and the Ye family!

"... Yunxiang, Yunxiang, tomorrow we will go to Fengyi Palace to see the Queen. I wonder if the Imperial Concubine and the Shufei will be reprimanded. I really hope they will suffer a great loss."

Yunxiang's face turned extremely ugly. Here it comes, the master's memory is confused again. The Concubine Shu died last year. How can there be any Concubine Shu? !

The old people in the palace all have their own nerves, but the remaining newcomers are relatively calm.

For example, Zheng Xiurong who entered the palace this time, can keep herself steady regardless of whether she is favored or not. In addition, she is eloquent and has a gentle temperament, and gradually becomes the backbone of some concubines.

If the Queen suddenly resumed paying respects this time, Zheng Xiurong would think that the Queen might be playing a role in a fight between the crane and the clam.

Although the queen was not the one who took advantage of the situation, she was also a passerby standing on the shore, casually provoking the two sides to confront each other. "Are you deliberately trying to make the harem lively?"

Zheng Xiurong talked to herself in front of the potted plants. She still didn't understand the queen. Although her father had mentioned the Xiao family, she was still young and ignorant when the Xiao family was destroyed. Besides, since it was related to the imperial power, who would dare to gossip about it?

"My lady, Deng Chongyuan is here."

Zheng Xiurong's maid came over to report and interrupted her train of thought.

Waving her hand and asking the maid to invite Deng Chongyuan to the main hall, Zheng Xiurong straightened her skirt and sleeves, then walked out calmly.

…………

"Master, it's time to get up."

Shen Yao was woken up by Xiaofu in a daze and casually asked about the time.

"It is the beginning of the morning hour"

Shen Yao said in her heart, it’s seven o’clock in the morning, and she should get up.

After wiping her cheeks and palms with a wrung-out towel, Shen Yao sat in front of the dressing table and signaled Xiaofu and Xiaoji not to be stingy when using jewelry, "The more expensive, the better."

How can you test the queen's mind without showing off? No matter what the queen is thinking, Shen Yao cannot ignore it.

Xiaofu and Xiaoji hummed in agreement when they heard this, and they picked out jewelry for their master and changed her clothes. When Shen Yao came out of the changed clothes, she successfully exuded the aura of a nouveau riche. Everything she wore was exquisite and expensive, which further demonstrated how favored she was during this period.

The sedan chair was ready and waiting outside the palace, and even the three concubines who lived in the back hall got up early and ran to see Shen Yao off. No matter if it was out of acting or out of sincerity, at least the harmony and friendship between everyone in Furong Palace could not be faked.

"You guys can go back. It's windy in the morning. You don't need to force yourself since you are in good health," Shen Yao sat on the sedan chair and nodded to the three people with a smile.

"I respectfully send off Lady Xinjieyu"

The sedan chair was slowly carried away by the palace servants until it left the Hibiscus Palace far behind.

"Master, if you don't like it, I will tell them not to come."

Xiaofu had taken care of Zhang Yunv and the other two on a daily basis because of his master's words, which helped to improve their illnesses. Currently, the three are doing well, but there is no guarantee that they will remain so respectful in the future.

"No need, come whenever you want, and I'll have more people to chat with."

Zhang Yunv and the other two are old people in Furong Palace. There is nothing about them that is worthy of Shen Yao's plot. Even if someone from outside wants to set a trap for her, she would not choose them.

Such people are good as a tool to relieve boredom on weekdays. What's more, Shen Yao has given them protection and a peaceful life. Compared with the miserable conditions in other palaces, living in Furong Palace is definitely a good deal.

When Xiaofu heard his master say this, he secretly decided to keep a closer eye on the three of them.

After all, true gold is not afraid of fire. As long as they are good people, the master will not treat them unfairly. If they have ulterior motives, don't blame them for having a miserable end.

The sedan chair moved along the paved stone corridor and soon arrived outside Fengyi Palace.

Unlike when Shen Yao came before and was openly turned away, today the door of Fengyi Palace was open, and those who came and went were all the main concubines.

The sedan chair stopped at the palace gate, and Shen Yao got down holding Xiaofu and Xiaoji's arms.

Not far away was Zheng Xiurong, who had arrived earlier than her.

Shen Yao smiled and bowed to the other party, and Zheng Xiurong generously invited her to enter the hall together.

"Why can't I see Deng Chongyuan beside Sister Zheng?"

"Chongyuan is very busy, unlike me who has no time to spare. Didn't Sister Xin not come with Concubine Shen?"

Shen Yao blinked when she heard that, and understood that the Concubine Shen that Zheng Xiurong was referring to was Shen Yanming, the daughter of the first-rank general Zhennan. Although both of them had the surname Shen, they had no connection in private.

"Sister Zheng really loves to joke. The Xuanting Pavilion where Concubine Shen lives is quite far away from the Furong Palace where my sister lives. Besides, Concubine Shen has always disliked weak women like my sister. How can she come with me?"

The two of them walked into the hall, talking to each other.
