Chapter 454 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (22)
"Your Majesty, I was just thinking about the Shen family outside the palace," Shen Yao sighed softly, "Your Majesty should know about my situation. Something happened in my family a while ago. If it weren't for your wisdom and bravery, I'm afraid that my concubine and the Shen family would not be here today."
Yu Yu hurriedly said, "My beloved concubine, why do you say that? I will never let you and my son suffer this injustice."
Even if the Shen family really has problems in some matters, there has to be no problem.
Now Shen Yao and the heir in her belly are the most important, and no one can affect the birth of the heir. Could it be that someone came to Furong Palace to gossip without his knowledge?
Yu Yu began to suspect some of the concubines who were not honest, especially the families behind them. What was the point of them not doing their jobs but focusing on Furong Palace? Did they really want him to have no descendants?
"Your Majesty, I am just expressing my feelings during my pregnancy.
If the emperor allows, I would like to meet my stepmother and step-sister. Although I am not close to my stepmother, I do have a real relationship with my step-sister. "
Shen Yao didn't drink the soup either, but just looked at Yu Yu beside her with eager eyes.
The eyes washed by tears are pure and bright, revealing the whole person's emotions.
The concubines in the harem have many concerns when summoning their relatives into the palace. Generally speaking, except for festivals, the only time left for the concubines is before they give birth.
However, the current harem has few descendants, and the emperor's own mother passed away early, so all his maternal relatives have dispersed, so very few concubines and relatives can enter the palace.
It was a bit inappropriate for Shen Yao to ask for this, but Shen Yao was pregnant. This belly was Shen Yao's golden ticket to immunity from death, and even the emperor had to give extra consideration.
"Since my beloved concubine wants to see him, then go ahead and meet him," Yu Yu finally agreed, and even waved his hand to let Li Guiquan send someone to deliver an oral message. The sooner the better, the better, and the person should be brought into the palace as soon as possible.
When Li Guiquan got the news, he immediately sent someone to deliver a letter to the Shen family outside the palace. The Shen family outside the palace also held an emergency family meeting after receiving the oral order to enter the palace.
The people attending the meeting were naturally everyone including Mrs. Shen. Among them, Shen Rong was waiting to be married because Shen Yao was favored in the palace and had not yet been engaged.
This time when entering the palace, Shen Chunbai and his son Shen Changyu mainly relied on Shen Rong to act as a bridge of communication to pass on information so as to keep the communication between the two sides smooth.
"Master, don't you trust me?" Madam Shen was defeated. It seemed that after Shen Yao entered the palace, Madam Shen was always unhappy about various trivial matters.
At the beginning, Shen Rong and Shen Changhe would try to persuade and coax her, but after a long time, they got tired and just let Mrs. Shen toss around at home.
Some time ago, Shen Chunbai was suddenly imprisoned, Shen Changyu and Shen Changhe were suspended from their posts and returned home, and Mrs. Shen was suppressed by Shen Changyu because she went crazy. Now he is doing the same thing again. Not to mention Shen Changyu and Shen Chunbai, even Shen Rong can't stand it.
"Mother, how can father say that he doesn't trust you? My daughter and mother will be on the list of people entering the palace the day after tomorrow." If he didn't trust her, how could Mrs. Shen get a chance?
Madam Shen was stubborn. "Shen Yao is used to saving face. Who knows if she is sincere or not? What if she invites me to the palace to humiliate and ridicule me? Wouldn't it be in line with her wishes if I enter the palace?"
Shen Rong: ...
The more she talks, the more outrageous it becomes. Fourth sister couldn't possibly do this. What on earth is mother thinking?
"Mother, my fourth sister has now been granted the title of Xin Zhaoyi, the first of the nine concubines of the second rank.
When the fourth sister gives birth to the royal heir safely, it is possible for her to take a step further and even be crowned queen."
Shen Changyu felt that it would be more useful to speak with facts. Mrs. Shen was too concerned about her natal family and would not let her third sister marry back no matter what.
"Mom, what my eldest brother said is right. It does us no good if you always say bad things about our fourth sister. If possible, we should see the Yuan family's aunt and family less often," Shen Rong frowned, feeling that the Yuan family was like a dog-skin plaster that could not be shaken off once it stuck.
Earlier, Shen Rong thought that her cousin from the Yuan family was a good guy, but Madam Shen tried to stop her from marrying him. Now, Shen Rong is somewhat reluctant to marry her cousin from the Yuan family, but Madam Shen wants to promote this marriage.
Shen Rong, who was confused, decided to go to the palace to ask her fourth sister for her opinion. The Shen family was now the new noble family in the capital and the mother's family of the future royal heir. Many people who wanted to marry Shen Rong in order to get in touch with the Shen family would line up for it.
It is said that people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Yuan's cousin? Who is that?
Mrs. Shen was severely hurt by the words of her own children one after another, and Shen Changhe also embarrassedly said that the Yuan family was really not good and asked her not to get involved.
Mrs. Shen: ...
Mrs. Shen was silent again, sitting there in a daze without saying a word.
Unfortunately, the other four members of the Shen family knew that this was only temporary, and Mrs. Shen would soon return to her old ways and continue to poach members of the Shen family to gain benefits for the Yuan family.
Shen Chunbai glanced at Madam Shen who had stopped talking, and turned around to tell Shen Rong to be more careful when entering the palace. "Yao'er is pregnant, and now she has been named the head of the Nine Concubines. There will be people watching inside and outside the Furong Palace."
Shen Changyu moved his wrist carefully, "Third sister, after entering the palace, you will listen to Fourth sister's arrangements. We are from the same Shen family, and we have Shen family blood flowing in our bodies, so we are closer than outsiders."
Mrs. Shen blinked her eyes when she heard that, but soon returned to silence.
Shen Rong nodded, understanding what her eldest brother meant. If her mother's family had not behaved in this way for many years, how could her eldest brother have become estranged from her mother.
Of course, Shen Chunbai and Shen Changyu did not just tell Shen Rong about this matter. If there were some things that were not convenient to do in public, they could only find an opportunity to tell her in private.
The Shen family started to get busy because of the matter of entering the palace, and Shen Yao in the palace was also confirming information with the system, including the flash of inspiration that was previously interrupted by the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has gone to stay at Yuqing Palace. You should rest."
Xiaofu reached out and helped his master up from the couch, and carefully carried him to the bed.
Xiaofu brought warm water and cleaned the room carefully. After he was done, he did not forget to lower the curtains beside the bed and blow out the candles in the room.
The light became dim, and Shen Yao turned over in bed alone, "System, the imperial concubine may not live long."
"Host, why do you say that?" The system popped up and confirmed again and again that the emperor had not yet taken action against the imperial concubine.
'Defei and the Ye family are in bad luck. It can be said that the emperor is settling scores and making an example of them.' Because the Ye family and Defei had committed serious taboos, the emperor took the opportunity to settle accounts with them. It can only be said that they brought it upon themselves.
"There are also some dirty deeds between the Imperial Concubine and the Zhou family. When Concubine De was still around, the Imperial Concubine could deceive herself. Now that Concubine De is gone, the Imperial Concubine is left with only fear." The gate hanging above the neck would be a challenge to the Imperial Concubine's sensitive nerves if it was not dropped at any moment.
It just so happens that the imperial concubine is not a mentally strong person. If this continues for a long time, it would be strange if she doesn’t become more and more crazy.
"Host, what does this have to do with the emperor?" If the imperial concubine kills herself, she can't blame others.
"It has nothing to do with the emperor," Shen Yao opened her eyes again, and the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a hint of arc, "We can take this opportunity to make them related."
System: ...Huh? !!!
The system uses its not-so-clever little brain to try to connect the dots?
'Just use another wave to bring in the other hidden forces.'
Shen Yao turned around and placed her hands flat on her abdomen, "Don't tell me that those princes who have children like to live a leisurely and peaceful life and have no intention of the throne."
System: ...How is that possible? Those who don't have sons all want to have sons to fight for the throne, not to mention those who already have sons, who dream of changing their family and becoming the emperor.
"So, in this life-and-death struggle, how can I fight them if I don't strike first?"
The little kid in her belly is still just a cell. How many years will it take for him to grow up?
It’s not that Shen Yao can’t wait for the throne to change naturally, but the longer it delays, the more likely it is that variables will arise.
The best way is to kick away all those who stand in your way before the child grows up, including his biological father. Only by being half-dead can you love your child more.
System: ...It's chilly around here, why is it a bit cold?
Two days later, Shen Rong and Madam Shen entered the palace with the emperor's permission.
Naturally, such news would cause dissatisfaction among the concubines in the harem.
Deng Chongyuan complained that Xin Zhaoyi was special. They were all concubines who entered the palace together, but she became precious just because she was pregnant.
"Xin Zhaoyi is now the head of the Nine Concubines. If Deng Chongyuan is not satisfied, she can also try to get pregnant. I believe that the emperor will allow Deng Chongyuan's mother to enter the palace."
Zheng Xiurong spoke as calmly and chokingly as usual. Deng Chongyuan left angrily, which made the maids around Zheng Xiurong dissatisfied. "Empress Chongyuan's temper comes and goes. She simply treats the Lanxin Palace as the Yuqing Palace. It's just that the emperor has been there a few more times." There is no need to be so ignorant of the limits.
Zheng Xiurong put down the teacup in her hand and said, "Be careful with your words and don't gossip.
Whatever happens to Deng Chongyuan is none of our business. Whether she is happy or unhappy, it will not affect the Lanxin Palace."
The maid wanted to argue, "My lady, but she is not very respectful to you," which affected her master's mood.
Zheng Xiurong smiled indifferently, "Why bother with her about this?" Deng Chongyuan was simple-minded and impulsive, and it was only because the emperor liked to give her some confidence recently that she would have behaved herself long ago, otherwise she would have behaved herself long ago.
"Please bring me the book that I haven't finished reading. At this moment, Concubine Xin must have seen her family members at home." How enviable.
"Mother, Third Sister, please sit down."
Shen Yao pulled Madam Shen and Shen Rong to sit on the couch, and Xiaofu and Xiaoji hurriedly brought cakes and tea.
This was the first time they met after Shen Yao entered the palace. Mrs. Shen was not familiar with her, and due to the instructions from her family, she had few opportunities to speak. Shen Rong, on the other hand, adapted well, and after a few words she no longer looked unfamiliar, and kept asking about Shen Yao's health.
"Don't worry, Third Sister. I'm in good health."
Patting her arms that had obviously gained weight, Shen Yao held up the pastries for the two to taste. They were all made by the chef from the imperial kitchen, and not only were they beautiful in appearance, but their taste was also unique.
Shen Rong nodded, "As expected of the imperial chef in the palace, Third Sister is also relying on my younger sister's help this time," otherwise she would not be able to eat such snacks.
"We sisters should not be so polite. If Third Sister likes it, just go back and take it away." It was just a matter of words and was not worth much.
Shen Rong showed a sincere smile and said that since she had this opportunity, she would bring more and give it to Shen Chunbai and others at home to taste.
