Chapter 463 A Stranger’s Rise to Power (31)

A month and a half later, Shen Yao was discharged from confinement.

Shen Yao was unable to attend the previous full moon banquet, but the emperor still gave her enough respect.

Shen Yao smoothly transitioned from Concubine Xin to Imperial Concubine, and successfully took the top position among the concubines in the harem. The only position higher up was the Queen.

"There is no rush for the position of empress. The emperor has not completely given up on having an heir," so Shen Yao will not be made empress for the time being.

But when the emperor gets older and older and there is still no new heir born in the harem, it would be unreasonable not to make her the queen.

The court officials are a group of weather vanes. They were running around because they saw no hope earlier, but now they can settle down with a backbone.

"Host, you don't have to worry about offspring." They don't even need to do anything to commit evil. All hope can be cut off directly from the source.

Shen Yao sat in front of the bronze mirror and smiled as she let Xiaoji and Xiaofu dress up. "Recently, the concubines from the south of the Yangtze River in the palace have been favored. I heard that Lady He is expected to be promoted to Concubine He. It's really surprising."

At first they commented that Concubine He was dull and boring, and that although she was extremely beautiful, she might not be able to keep the emperor. However, now they were slapped in the face. Looking at the harem, Concubine He's promotion speed was quite fast.

system:……

"Host, should we guard against her first?" A favored new lover will always cause trouble for the old lover. Deng Chongyuan was like this before, and the imperial concubine was also like this (although the two were already married). What about the current beauty He?

"The Imperial Concubine is extremely beautiful and blessed. I am just a humble woman, how can I compare with her?"

The meeting with Concubine He took place a few days after Shen Yao came out of confinement.

At this time, Shen Yao had become a noble concubine, and the other party had also been promoted from a beauty to a concubine.

On a whim, Shen Yao brought people to stroll around the Imperial Garden in early spring.

The imperial garden, with withered grass and trees and a hint of hazy green, is not as colorful as before, but it has its own unique flavor.

Unexpectedly, he met the new favorite, Concubine He. When the two met and greeted each other, one of them ended up saying something overly modest.

"Not only is Concubine He outstanding in appearance, but she also speaks so sweetly. If I were the emperor, I would also like Concubine He."

Shen Yao raised her eyebrows and spoke in a clear and pleasant voice, which made Concubine He lower her head unconsciously.

"Master, Concubine He's outfit is very different from before."

Xiaofu glanced at Concubine He who was leaving, then walked closer to his master and whispered carefully.

Shen Yao smiled and said, "She is the emperor's new favorite, and the palace ladies are flattering her, so she is bound to be happy."

However, while she was happy, He Jieyu also felt a little strange, especially in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, which were full of charm. Did she use some special medicine?

Shen Yao summoned the system that had gone to an unknown place and asked it to help investigate.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

The system shouted anxiously, "Host, Concubine He smells like the fragrance of love!"

Wow wow

What is going on here? The palace has always banned the use of aphrodisiacs that are harmful to the emperor's health. How can Concubine He do this since her family lives in Jiangnan?

"There are many kinds of amorous incense. I know that the concubines in the harem are drinking the fertility soup. Concubine He is not trying to have children. I wonder if she just listened to someone."

The concubines in the harem were more cautious in using medicine. Apart from paying the imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau for help, they would also secretly give money to the eunuchs of the Imperial Medical Bureau and bribe them to get the medicine themselves.

Concubine He has a strong smell on her body, which can be easily smelled by Shen Yao's sense of smell, not to mention the capable people around the emperor.

The system was confused and didn't know what to say. After hesitating for a long time, it said, "This love fragrance was prescribed by Concubine He herself at the request of the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital."

It does not have the effect of a fertility soup, on the contrary, it has a contraceptive effect.'

Of course, the contraceptive effect is one of the side effects brought by the love fragrance. The essence of this fragrance can regulate emotions, lighten the body, maintain a bright appearance and one's own qi and blood. It is more like an external-use version of the all-inclusive soup with added ingredients.

For men, there are no disadvantages but only advantages; for women, there are no disadvantages except offspring.

The two sides hit it off immediately. It seems that Concubine He values ​​love more than offspring.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao walked along the path expressionlessly, "So this is how Concubine He got her position. It took a lot of sacrifice." "The Emperor really has a lot of fun."

But it’s better this way. The emperor’s body can’t take it anymore as he plays more and more.

If these 'He Concubines' can really make the emperor happy and unforgettable, when he gets what he wants from Shen Yao, he will definitely give them a good ending.

Shen Yao curled her lips and thought, "The effect of the amorous fragrance is remarkable. Concubine He is the best example in the harem."

The system was nervous, "What does the host want to do?"

Shen Yao looked up at the mountains, waters and forests not far away, which were filled with light green. "What can I do? I have to help promote Concubine He's abilities. Where there is a will, there is a way. Concubine He can't be the only one eating meat. Others should also drink some hot soup."

system:……

Shen Yao felt that the emperor did not understand enough about how difficult it was to accept the favor of a beautiful woman.

It’s fun to be alone, but it’s tiring to be with more than one person.

She had to help the emperor learn his lesson, as doing certain things for a long time would affect one's health.

'Shouldn't the host hope that the emperor will be more absurd? 'This way, there won't be too many objections to the new emperor taking the throne, because the contrast is so sharp.

Shen Yao rolled her eyes at the system, "Sheng'er is still young, what can a baby who can only drink milk do?"

The emperor should wait until her child grows up, otherwise the hope of all royal relatives will be completely gone, leaving only her child. Or the Shen family will develop rapidly and become unshakable. If any of the above three conditions is achieved, Shen Yao will send the emperor to death without hesitation.

"Master, there is someone ahead."

Xiaofu suddenly reminded her, and took the opportunity to draw Shen Yao's attention to the present moment.

"Is that Zheng Xiurong?"

What a rare guest! A smile appeared on Shen Yao's lips. The Shen and Zheng families had just announced the good news of their marriage, which would not be bad for her relationship with Zheng Xiurong.

"Help me go over and take a look. I haven't seen Xiurong for a long time and I miss him."

The problem is that Shen Yao gave birth on such a coincidence of a date. Not only did she miss the New Year's Day, but she also had to spend the few days after the holiday when she should have been showing off her face.

Apart from her, the first-rank concubine position in the palace was vacant, and there were only four of the nine second-rank concubines left.

Zheng Xiurong was the most capable concubine among them, and naturally took on many matters. It was not until Shen Yao was out of confinement that she returned some of the power in the harem.

After all, although Shen Yao's position as a royal concubine is high, she still has two children to raise, so it is difficult for her to focus on palace management.

Otherwise the emperor would be unhappy.

"I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine. May the Imperial Concubine be blessed with good fortune."

"Zheng Xiurong is too polite, please get up."

Shen Yao glanced behind Zheng Xiurong and asked with a smile why he came out.

"It's boring staying in the palace all the time, so I wanted to go out for a walk." She didn't expect to meet the imperial concubine, which caught her off guard.

"Zheng Xiurong is really the same as me. In that case, why don't we go together?" Since Shen Yao invited her, Zheng Xiurong had no reason to refuse.

He followed Shen Yao, the two of them talked and laughed, and walked away with the people behind them.

"How is Zheng Xiurong these days? Have you heard any news from your family outside the palace?"

Shen Yao picked a leaf and held it in her hand, speaking nonchalantly.

Zheng Xiurong's heart tightened, but she pretended not to know, "The palace has been very busy lately, and I haven't heard any news from home yet."

Shen Yao exclaimed, "Really? That's a pity."

It seemed that he didn't want to have anything to do with her openly. Shen Yao raised her eyebrows slightly, as if smiling.

Zheng Xiurong remained the same as before, not asking any questions or being curious, just playing dumb.

"It seems that for women like us who have entered the palace, it is extremely difficult to meet our families."

"Your Highness is a noble concubine, and you have princes and princesses under your knees. I believe that the Emperor will satisfy your longing."

"Your Majesty can be satisfied once or twice, and I can't always cause trouble. This is the rule of our ancestors, and as concubines, we should abide by our duties."

"Your Majesty is right. We, the imperial concubines, have no choice, but we cannot give up our blood ties. Even if our family members are not with us, they will always be with us in our hearts."

Shen Yao blinked her eyes. "This palace and Xiurong really hit it off right away. If Xiurong has nothing to do in the future, why not come to Furong Palace more often? We are both concubines, and we both serve the emperor. The word fate is indescribable."

Zheng Xiurong nodded, "Your Majesty has invited me, and I will never forget it.

It's just that there have been a lot of things going on in the palace recently, and I can't leave the Lanxin Palace for too long. I am reluctant to let down your Majesty's kindness for a while, please forgive me."

Shen Yao waved her hand generously, "The matter of facial care is more important. We are not in a hurry to get to know each other."

After the words were spoken, the two looked at each other and then dispersed.

There was really nothing to see in the Imperial Garden in early spring, so Shen Yao returned to Hibiscus Palace. She first glanced at the two little kids who were sleeping soundly, then changed into casual clothes and sat back on the couch to look through the accounts and expenses received from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Is this servant from the Ministry of Internal Affairs trying to fool me?" As if she didn't know the situation, or did she think she had no common sense? One egg for one ounce of silver, huh? !

Shen Yao was almost laughing at the accounts in front of her. She thought to herself, no wonder the Ministry of Internal Affairs became more and more powerful as time went on. It was full of people like this. How much money could the treasury have to spend? They were all rats.

"Master, there is no need to bother with them," Xiaoji brought the brewed teacup and talked about the most famous ones in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was said that the tea used in their mansions was better than that in the palace.

Shen Yao sneered, "If you are greedy, you will not be able to enjoy it."

Asking Xiaoji to write down all the outrageous accounts as a backup, Shen Yao pinched her wrist and said, "We have to settle the accounts one by one." The emperor would not hold back when dealing with his half-brothers, so what about these people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? In Shen Yao's opinion, they were already on the death list.

It's a matter of dying sooner or later. There's really no need to ruin your health because of these people. It's not worth it.

Shen Yao raised his hand to rub his forehead, relaxed himself, and casually pulled the fur on his body.

Xiaofu came in from outside, walked quickly to Shen Yao and whispered something in her ear.

Shen Yao looked up, "Is it true?"

Xiaofu nodded slightly, "Mr. Li said that the emperor had a big tantrum in the Qianqing Palace."

Shen Yao sighed. How could she not be angry? The two princes who were imprisoned in the clan residence, one dead and one seriously injured, what were those guards doing? !
