"What's going on here? Why did the emperor suddenly want to make you a concubine?"

After the waiter and the others left, Tong Shaozhuo sat in the front hall with his eyes straightened, and the entire Tong family surrounded her, staring at her with suspicion.

"I, I don't know." Tong Shaozhuo was not much calmer than his family members, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, "I have never seen the emperor at all, who knows what kind of imperial concubine she will suddenly go crazy! What a mess!"

Tong Shaozhuo was full of confidence, and caught up with the accumulation of resentment in her heart. No matter how big the Tong's house was, she had a voice that had been practiced on the chaotic battlefield, and the neighbors could hear her shouting like this.

"Shh! Be quiet!"

Tong Shaoxuan asked everyone to break up first, and she wanted to talk to the second sister alone for some things.

Everyone has left the front hall, Tong Shaoxuan thought, the emperor is a thousand-year-old fox, the second sister thinks that she has never seen her, but maybe the emperor has touched the second sister clearly in secret.

Based on Tong Shaoxuan's understanding of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is by no means a person who acts recklessly when he is hotheaded, but rather a man of the city and a meticulous mind.

The position of noble concubine is not trivial, and it represents not only the position of concubine in the harem.

The harem and the power of the previous dynasty have always been closely linked. The emperor can confer the title of the second sister noble concubine, that is, sit with Concubine Lan.

Queen, this is one of the highest-ranking women in the entire Great Cang.

The emperor should not only plan for a noble concubine, but also constantly polish and improve the strength of Wei's relatives.

But...why did you choose Second Sister?

The second sister and the imperial concubine are probably separated by ten Boling mansions, right?

Tong Shaoxuan spliced ​​the second sister and the emperor together in his mind, and fell silent.

No matter how they thought about it, the two were out of harmony, and they couldn't tell the difference for a while.

Tong Shaozhuo was impatient, and held Tong Shaoxuan's hand: "Ah Nian, you see the emperor all day long, so you can go and talk to my sister. I really don't want to be a noble concubine! I don't want to enter the harem day and night at all. Competing with those little ladies! How boring? And I have my own heart, I only want Sister Wei!"

"What? Sister Wei?" Tong Shaoxuan felt worse when he heard these three words.

"Speaking of Sister Wei, she is really a wonderful person." Tong Shaozhuo couldn't help recalling, a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth.

Tong Shaozhuo told Tong Shaoxuan how he met the mysterious and beautiful Wei family sister on the edge of the Mingjiang River in Shangsi Festival.

Tong Shaoxuan: "..."

"Pingcang Wei? Ruifengyan? One round older than you?" Combining these elements with the sudden concubine conferment, Tong Shaoxuan understood, thoroughly understood.

Seeing his younger sister suddenly realize, Tong Shaozhuo immediately asked her: "Could it be that Anian, do you know who this sister of the Wei family is?"

Tong Shaoxuan: "...I really know."

Tong Shaozhuo was very excited: "Who is it?!"

Who else could it be if it wasn't the Son of Heaven himself?

This has become extremely interesting.

Since the two have already met, the emperor's appointment of the second sister as a noble concubine must have been carefully considered.

The silly second sister didn't know that she was about to marry her longing sweetheart.

Tong Shaozhuo was in a hurry here, but seeing Tong Shaoxuan pondering for a long time but he still didn't tell her the truth, she got up suddenly with sweat on her forehead:

"Why are you gasping for breath at such a critical moment, Anian, you are worrying about me!"

Not only did Tong Shaoxuan not say anything, he even burst out laughing.

Tong Shaozhuo: "?"

Tong Shaoxuan really didn't say anything, he also stood up, patted Tong Shaozhuo on the shoulder and said: "I didn't expect that second sister, you made a mess, not only did you not provoke a whole family of robbers, but you also got a marriage. A huge surprise. As for what kind of surprise it is, I will wait for you, Second Sister, to find out slowly after you enter the palace. Second Sister, you can be a noble concubine with peace of mind, and you will reunite with your Sister Wei."

Tong Shaozhuo: "??"

Tong Shaozhuo couldn't figure it out.

After thinking about it for a few days, it seems that there is only one possibility——

Could it be that Sister Nawei is also one of the concubines in the harem?

Thinking about it this way seems to be the right way, because she is the concubine of the emperor, so it makes sense to meet at the banquet by the Ming River that day, she must have come with the emperor.

Later, when the emperor left, she also left, so she couldn't see each other.

And Anian said that they will meet again, and it must be in the harem.

The restless mood was soothed in an instant, and Tong Shaozhuo felt elated, presumably that day, the emperor was on the go all day, and with so many people in the harem, how could she be able to favor each one of them?

Although Sister Wei was born with a good face, it can be seen that the emperor who has many beauties may not spoil her alone.Isn't there some domineering concubine Lan?Maybe Sister Wei failed to get into the eyes of the emperor, but instead was bullied badly by Concubine Lan.

At this point in my thoughts, a sense of mission arises spontaneously—Sister Wei is waiting for me, and I will go to the harem to save you from the fire and water!

At the beginning of receiving the imperial decree, the Tong family did not feel the joy of becoming a relative of the emperor.

After all, the emperor had just mentioned that he would recall his elderly mother to be his prime minister, and then he suddenly wanted to drag his second daughter, who had just returned to Boling, into the palace to become a noble concubine.

It is clearly a strategy for consolidating the imperial power under the very clear consideration of the regime.

If it were someone else's house, they would have put up lanterns and festoons long ago, running around to tell everyone that there was a happy event for a noble concubine at home.At this time, Song Qiao and Tong Changting were sitting side by side in a sluggish way, forgetting to drink the tea in their hands when it was cold.

Tong Shaolin and Lu Fan sat here to appease the two elders, telling them not to think too much.

Tong Shaolin brought their teacups over, and asked Qiu Xin to pour the hot ones again:

"Since it is the will of the emperor, it is the destiny. No matter whether we accept it or not, whether we should or not, we cannot change it. Instead of being upset, we should think about the bright side. From now on, our Tong family can It is the in-laws of the Tian family, which is a blessing that others can't even imagine."

Song Qiao didn't have a good impression of the Tian family. After all, how the wayward eldest princess made trouble in their house back then, and even indirectly affected her life. She had been in the southeast for decades, and she still remembered it. .

Today, the family misses their family again, and it is her second daughter who has been fighting abroad for many years and finally returned home to recuperate...

Ever since receiving the decree, Song Qiao's eyebrows have not been able to relax.

"Azhao, Ah Duo...you say why the Tian family is holding our family down? There are so many women in the world, why did the emperor fall in love with Archer? Archer is reckless, he has no heart at all, go After entering the harem, isn’t that like a sheep going into the mouth of a tiger? How can she fight against those scheming concubines in the harem? One will be poisoned today, and the other will be framed tomorrow. There are so many vicious thoughts, let alone all kinds of rules , how can your sister endure the life of being confined in the harem?"

A Niang's concerns were justified, but she was a bit wrong.

Archer is not the kind of reckless and inflexible person that A Niang thought.If she was really stupid, it would be impossible for her to lead Qingqi to achieve extraordinary feats and obtain the official position of seventh-rank school captain at a young age.

Archer is still very intelligent, but her intelligence is mostly on marching and fighting, and she is a little slow in other things.

Tong Shaolin believes that as long as she is placed in a dangerous situation, her wisdom will be fully understood. After all, whether it is a battlefield where the flames of war are on the line, or a harem where intrigues and scheming are in the final analysis, it is all between people. struggle.

She understands best that her second younger sister always plays cards out of common sense, and can win by surprise since she was a child, making it impossible to defend against.

Tong Shaolin told Ye Niang what she thought, and when Ye Niang heard it, it made sense to some extent.

"Besides, Anian is a close minister of the emperor. If something happens to Archer, his sisters can take care of him."

There is one more thing that Tong Shaolin didn't say.

When Archer was young, no one in Su County was afraid of her, and the name of Second Sister Yehu was not just for talking.In addition to being able to fight, she is also particularly capable of causing trouble.

Most importantly, nine out of ten fights were related to the little lady...

Archer went to the harem, it is still unknown who is the sheep and who is the tiger.

It might be more vivid for a mouse to enter the rice bowl. It is estimated that Archer will be so happy that he can take off.

Tong Shaolin was afraid that she would be too presumptuous in front of the emperor, and if she fell to her head and implicated the fate of the entire Tong family, then no one would be able to save her.

Three days later, the people from the Shaofu came to the Tongfu first, and moved the cartloads of betrothal gifts to the Tongfu.

The emperor's dowry is an eye-opener.

Tong Shaoxuan's previous rewards when he was promoted to an official position were already amazing, but the dowry gift today is even more incomparable.

Odd treasures, gold and silver wares, splendid clothes for BMW servants... Some objects, even Tang Jianwei, who is well-informed, can't name them, and they must be treasures tributed by Fanbangchen Kingdom.

The female officials of the Shaofu dressed up Tong Shaozhuo, and arranged the inside and outside of the Tongfu in a joyous manner, not to mention that even Chongwenfang had to hang colorful curtains.

Neighbors and even other people couldn't help running over to find out.

Some time ago, the youngest daughter of the Tong family had just been promoted to an official position, and the eldest daughter-in-law was named the school lieutenant of Jingdu.

Other family members may not be able to win such high favor in several lifetimes. The Tong family has only been in Boling for a long time, and they are almost on an equal footing with the wealthy Lan family.

It seems that Tong Shaoxuan is a first-class celebrity around the emperor, and the emperor wants to promote not only Tong Jiayao'er.

The emperor's intention to turn the Tong family into a new generation of giants is already obvious.

Tong Changting was named Qi Guogong, Song Qiao was named Qi Guo's wife, and the brothers and sisters had their own titles.At daybreak tomorrow, the grand guard of honor from the Shaofu, the Ministry of Rites and the servants will enter the Tongfu to welcome Tong Shaozhuo into the palace.

The fact that Captain Zhiguo has transformed into a noble concubine has been widely spread in Boling Mansion, and the countryside outside Boling is also talking about it.

I don't know where the evil wind came from, saying that the Tong Guifei was not only able to fight on the battlefield, but also had a stunning face, which made the emperor fall in love with him at first sight, and made the entire harem lose color.I'm afraid that domineering Concubine Lan will fall out of favor in the future.

The emperor has not established a heir so far, and he is very close to the Tong family. As long as Tong Guifei successfully gives birth to an imperial heir, the Lan family's status may not be guaranteed in the future.

This Tong Guifei is an important step for the emperor to enter the palace to check and balance the Lan family.

Rumors of the royal family spread to the people, and then spread back to the palace from the people. Concubine Lan accidentally heard the little palace ladies discussing this matter, and became furious, and ordered those little palace ladies who chewed their tongues to be beaten to death on the spot.

These young maids are all newcomers who have just entered the palace, but at the age of twelve or thirteen, they have not yet learned the rules, so they were bumped into by Concubine Lan, crying and begging for mercy, but Concubine Lan had no eyelids. lift.

"Don't beat me to death with two sticks, it's too cheap." Concubine Lan said coldly, "It takes more than a hundred sticks to kill them. I want them to die slowly and painfully. If they die within a hundred sticks Out of breath, you..."

Concubine Lan took a glance: "Don't even think about living."

Several little Huangmen were shaking like sifting chaff, and responded one after another: "Yes..."

Concubine Lan was in a bad mood early in the morning, and a few lifes were just to calm her down.

She was about to leave, but the maidservants did not follow.

Concubine Lan looked back, but saw that the maidservants were all looking at the execution place.

A woman in a fancy dress rolled up her cumbersome wide sleeves, revealing her strong forearms, and snatched the stick that Xiao Huangmen was holding just now.

Concubine Lan: "..."

Who is this?She was wearing a concubine's long skirt and a bun on her head. Under the heavy makeup, she had a certain beauty, which was clearly the appearance of a lady, but how rough was it to roll up her sleeves and expose her arms?

Could it be...

Concubine Lan immediately understood that this person was Concubine Tong.

"Who told you to stop?" Concubine Lan lowered her eyelids, her narrow eyes looked impatiently at the two little yellow gates.

Little Huangmen didn't dare to go against Concubine Lan's wishes, and wanted to take back the stick in Tong Shaozhuo's hand.

Tong Shaozhuo suddenly swung the long stick in his hand and danced wildly in the air a few times, creating a strong wind. Not only did he almost knock on the small yellow door, but he even knocked Concubine Lan's hair in a crooked way.

Everyone: "..."

All held their breath and dared not speak out.

Concubine Lan: "..."

Tong Shaozhuo threw his stick to the ground, and stood in front of the little maids, with the aura of a man who is in charge of everything, and the birds that went out to the sky were startled and trembling:

"I told you to stop!"
