After the subjugation of the country, she became the favorite concubine of the enemy

Yesterday evening, the chief eunuch Li Fuquan announced the decree in the harem, canonizing Ling Xiche as Concubine Mei. Akiko took care of her personally.

Shen Chen also transferred a maid from Prince Jin's mansion into the palace, one of the dowry maids that Princess Jin brought with her when she married.

Today, the newly conferred concubine should get up early to serve tea to the Queen Mother, but Ling Xiche was so dazed that he couldn't open his eyes.

Xiao Mingzi saw that the hour had passed, so he had no choice but to go into Ling Xiche's bedroom and call him.

"Young Master Ling, the newly conferred concubine is supposed to serve tea to the Empress Dowager the next day, and it's time for you to serve tea to the Empress Dowager. It will be too late."

Ling Xiche opened his eyes, his eyes blurred.

Xiao Mingzi saw that his expression was wrong and his face was a little blushing, so he reached out and touched his forehead, startled.

"Young master Ling, you have a fever, and this slave will go to the imperial doctor."

Ling Xiche sat up with support, "No need, don't you still have to serve tea to the Queen Mother? Don't be too late."

"But you are ill."

"It's okay."

Ling Xiche got up in a daze and sat by the dressing table. A little maid came over to comb his hair. In a daze, he seemed to think that this maid looked familiar.

"Have I seen you?"

"My lord, don't you remember Chun'er?"

Ling Xiche took a closer look, and it was true that it was the dowry maid that Yuanyuan brought with her when she married.

Ling Xiche pressed his forehead, "Why are you here? Miss, how are you?"

"Don't worry, my lord, Miss is fine, I just miss you." Chun'er began to help Ling Xiche put her hair up. "Chun'er will come here, of course the emperor asked me to. Miss still has Qiu'er, so don't worry, lord."

Ling Xiche was trying to think with his chaotic mind, it seemed that Shen Chen had thought about it a lot, no matter if it was a maid or eunuch who served him personally, they were all his own people who could be assured.

Is Shen Chen going to let himself continue living as Concubine Mei?I don't know how long this period is.

Chun'er skillfully helped Ling Xiche put her hair in a bun, but she didn't use the bun she often gave Ling Qiyuan, but a more elegant and gentle bun.Ling Xiche was already very beautiful, but with her hair up and without rouge, she was already a great beauty.

Ling Xiche changed into the bright pink clothes that were sent to him. It was a very vulgar color, but it didn't feel tacky when he wore it.

"Let's go." Ling Xiche said lightly.

Shen Chen just went down to court at this moment, and went back to the imperial study, and Shen Yu followed him, and when he entered, he retreated left and right.

"Brother Huang, you don't really intend to keep Ling Shangqing in the harem, do you?"

Shen Chen said seriously, "What? You also have to take care of the affairs of my harem?"

Shen Yu was not frightened by his aura, but walked to his side with a smile on her face.

"Of course I didn't mean that. Now that the Kingdom of Ye has just fallen, the people still hold a lot of resentment towards us. I feel that if Ling Shangqing is willing to help us make up our minds, it may be very helpful for us to win people's hearts as soon as possible. After all, he is The people of Ye country can think from the perspective of the people of Ye country."

"It's not the time to talk to him about the court affairs."

Shen Yu leaned over and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? Haven't you dealt with him yet?"

Shen Chen glanced at him, and Shen Yu shut up knowingly.

"Okay, you go back to the mansion, it's time for me to visit the queen mother."

Seeing that Shen Chen was not unhappy, Shen Yu said desperately, "You can't wait to see your Concubine Mei, can you? Be gentle with her, your way of doing things is fine, right... "

Shen Yu once again shut up under Shen Chen's sharp eyes.

When Ling Xiche went to greet the Queen Mother, all the concubines had already arrived.

As soon as Ling Xiche passed by, he naturally attracted everyone's attention, and all the concubines and maidservants present looked at him openly.

He is tall and slender, with no makeup on his face, but still looks beautiful, an elegant beauty.Originally, among the concubines, the imperial concubine Xu was the most beautiful and elegant, but this Concubine Mei, although not gorgeous in appearance, is elegant and refined, not like a common person.

"Did Concubine Mei work hard last night in bed? The sisters have been waiting for a while before arriving late." Concubine Shu Qi asked.

Ling Xiche was afraid that the Queen Mother would be displeased, so he wanted to take the initiative to explain, but before Ling Xiche could open his mouth, the imperial concubine Xu said, "Aunt, Your Majesty did not stay in Chenle Palace last night. I think he did it on purpose. You put it in your eyes."

The imperial concubine and all the concubines were waiting for Ling Xiche to be reprimanded, wanting to gloat over others' misfortune, but the queen mother did not blame her, and just said, "Bring tea."

Ling Xiche saluted, "Yes."

Chun'er took the teacup and handed it to Ling Xiche. Ling Xiche held the teacup with her hand at eyebrow level. This posture made Ling Xiche's unhealed arrow wound ache.

Ling Xiche got up slowly, before he stood up straight, his eyes darkened and he almost fell down, Chun'er hurriedly supported him.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Ling Xiche slowed down and glanced at the tea, but fortunately the tea was not spilled.

The noble concubine wished to faint when she saw that he just knelt down, and hated him even more.

"Sister Mei Fei is really weak."

Ling Xiche looked at the imperial concubine, who immediately rolled her eyes at him.Going to see the queen mother again, there is no blame in the eyes of the queen mother, but there is no other unnecessary emotion.

Ling Xiche walked up to the Queen Mother, lowered her head, and offered tea.

The Queen Mother took the tea, took a sip and handed the tea back to Ling Xiche, and then Chun'er took it.

"Concubine Mei, are you unwell?"

"Going back to the Queen Mother, my concubines are fine."

"Look up and let Aijia take a good look."

Ling Xiche raised his head, but he didn't dare to raise his head too high, for fear that the queen mother would see that he was a man.

This empress dowager, so calm and composed, cannot be a simple person.

"Looking is a sign, but the complexion is not very good. Concubine Mei, you must take good care of your body and let the Ai family embrace the emperor's grandson as soon as possible. Although the emperor is still young, he still has no son and a half. I am very worried. It is rare for the emperor to fancy someone, you have to work hard and give birth to a prince as soon as possible."

Ling Xiche lowered his head and said softly, "The concubine knows."

"If there is nothing else, you can kneel down."

All the concubines stood up together and bowed to the Queen Mother.

"Chen and concubine retire."

After the queen mother left, Ling Xiche finally breathed a sigh of relief that she hadn't been exposed.

Chun'er came over to help Ling Xiche up, Lian'er, the concubine's servant girl, bumped into Ling Xiche hard when she passed by, and hit his injured left shoulder, Ling Xiche gasped for pain as she clutched her left shoulder, Chun'er Hurry to help him.

"Ma'am, how are you?"

"fine."

Ling Xiche pressed his left shoulder, and could feel that the wound had opened.

Lian'er said in a mocking tone, "It's because the slaves don't have long eyes, and Concubine Mei is delicate and frail, so she wasn't damaged?"

Chun'er was so angry, "I think you did it on purpose!"

The noble concubine looked at Chun'er, and said in a lazy and arrogant tone, "Where did you get that wild girl? She yells in front of the master, she's so uneducated. Let me reward you with twenty big boards first."

When the two eunuchs heard that they wanted to drag Chun'er away, Ling Xiche protected her.

"You are not allowed to touch her, the next offender is obviously your servant girl."

"The next one?" The imperial concubine sneered, "Do you think that you are already a queen if you live in Chenle Palace? You are just a concubine, I am a noble concubine, and I am the head of all concubines. Now you are talking back to the next one."

Seeing that he was covering his left shoulder just now, the imperial concubine picked up the teacup on the table next to him and threw it at Ling Xiche's left shoulder. The tea in the cup was still boiling hot, and hit the wound along with the cup.

"What are you doing?"

Everyone looked at the speaker and knelt down to salute.

"See Your Majesty."

All the concubines present, Shen Chen, seemed to be unable to see any of them, and quickly walked towards Ling Xiche.
