Yang Wanruo also did not receive the title of Jin after serving in bed, but Xiao Yan gave him a generous reward. Compared to Xie Xianzi, Yang Wanruo was no different in the limelight.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and all the newcomers had already gone to bed.

The layout of the harem was also basically settled. Xie Xianzi was released from the restraint, but she still didn't get much favor.

The one with the most limelight is nobleman Rou, just like in her previous life, she is now a concubine Rou, although the date of canonization is a bit late, but she has finally returned to the original point.

The second is her elder sister, Rong Guiren, although she did not receive the Jin seal, Xiao Yan would send him generous rewards every time she served her bed.

Yang Wanruo has always been obscurity and has not been particularly favored, but the emperor will often go to her palace, her strength should not be underestimated.But now the harem concubines are all focused on the Yuan sisters, apart from Jiang Ning, not many people will pay attention to Yang Wanruo.

The Yuan sisters warded off countless conspiracies and schemes for her, and Yang Wanruo was proud of herself, playing the role of an innocent and pure kitten in front of Xiao Yan with ease.

Jiang Ning didn't care about it either, the more harmless he pretended now, the bigger the blow would be when the truth came out!

Concubine De's illness was kept hanging by the imperial physician's decoction, and she never got better, but it didn't get worse either. Unexpectedly, her condition took a turn for the worse before the Mid-Autumn Festival. When the imperial physician saw her, she sighed privately to Xiao Yan, expressing tactfully that the funeral could be arranged.

Xiao Yan waved his hand, signaling the imperial physician to step back.

He sat alone in front of the imperial case quietly.

For Concubine De, his feelings are complicated. Concubine De is his first woman and also the first woman who gave birth to an heir for him.

Although he was born as the crown prince, his father and prince have many heirs, and all of them covet him as the crown prince. Under such dangers, having no son is destined to hinder the future success of the throne. Fortunately, at this time, Concubine De's The birth of the child and the birth of Cheng Xu reduced most of the opposition in the court, and he also took a breath and took the opportunity to counterattack.

It has nothing to do with love for Concubine De, but just gratitude for giving birth to a healthy prince for him.

Concubine De's status is not high, she was born as a court lady, and her appearance is only delicate, but Concubine De has good conduct and will not make him petty like other concubines.So after ascending to the throne, he made the Wang family a concubine of virtue. Among the concubines, he was only lower than Jiang Ning, and was more than a bit higher than the Shan family and Xue family who were born in a family with children.

Cheng Xu is now eight years old. Compared with his younger brothers when they were eight years old, Cheng Xu's performance is slightly mediocre, but if he is taught properly in the future, he will be a conservative king.

Although he said so, he is still young, and the newly promoted concubine has just entered the palace, so it is inevitable that she will not be pregnant in the future, so it is too early to consider the crown prince.

But if Concubine De is gone, what should Cheng Xu do?

The harem is full of concubines who don't have a prince under their knees. With the deconcubine gone, there is bound to be a storm of competition for Chengxu.

He is the emperor, with so many things to do every day, he can't take care of Chengxu all the time, so he must find a suitable adoptive mother for Chengxu.

Although the queen looks good on the surface, she is also ruthless in her heart. He secretly found out that Jiang Ning's lost child is more or less related to the queen. played a role in promoting.Childlessness is a pain in her life, and once Concubine De dies, she will definitely try her best to snatch Chengxu's custody.

However, based on the queen's background, no one can give Chengxu to the queen.

The queen was born in the Sun family in Jinling, the Sun family was originally a descendant family, and his grandmother was from the Sun family, but the grandmother was the direct daughter of the Sun family, and the queen was the descendant daughter of the Sun family.The Sun family is very powerful. After several empresses and great Confucians came out one after another, their arrogance became more and more arrogant, and they already had the potential to shake the court. If the Sun family had another emperor, then this country should be named Sun!

Cheng Xu is the son of Concubine De, so he cannot be raised by someone with a low status.

Don't think about anything below the third rank.

Apart from the empress and concubine De herself, there were only two concubines of auspicious auspiciousness Shan Xin and concubine Jiang Ning left.

Concubine Xianggui can't do it, her own daughter has been taught that virtue, so give Chengxu to her?It's just a joke!

... Jiang Ning?

No, neither can Jiang Ning!

Thinking of Jiang Ning, Xiao Yan suddenly thought that he hadn't seen Jiang Ning for a long time, and he hadn't heard any news about Changle Palace from the palace population.

"Rong An!"

Xiao Yan frowned and called out, an eunuch in dark blue inner prison uniform came in with a bow, stopped in front of the imperial case, and waited for orders.

Xiao Yan coughed unnaturally, and then asked: "Did Changle Palace send you anything?"

Rong An, the chief supervisor of internal supervision, was slightly taken aback, wondering why the emperor suddenly thought of the imperial concubine, but since the imperial concubine had a miscarriage, not to mention sending things, even the little eunuch who often came to ask the emperor if he would go to Changle Palace at night has been waiting for a long time not here?

Obviously, when the emperor asked about the concubine at this time, he must have thought of the concubine. Jiang Guifei, who fell out of favor, might have a chance to regain favor, but it is true that no one has visited Changle Palace during this time.

In order not to offend others, Rong An replied very tactfully: "Why don't I send someone to ask?"

Xiao Yan's face suddenly sank: "No need, you go down!"

Seeing that Xiao Yan was in a bad mood, Rong An wanted to roll down, and when he rolled over the threshold, His Majesty added: "If Changle Palace brings something, quickly bring it up."

Rong An was so frightened that he almost tripped over the threshold, leaned on the door dangerously, and thought: What kind of demon is this, Your Majesty? In the past, when the imperial concubine came to deliver things every day, he rewarded the servants below without even looking at them. Now The imperial concubine didn't give it away, so he started thinking again...

It really is unpredictable!

Rong An responded and went out.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Concubine De begged the emperor to see her family for the last time.

Xiao Yan thought for a while, and then issued an imperial decree, allowing the family members of concubines above the third rank to visit the palace on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival.

Apart from special orders for concubines to enter the palace, otherwise they will not see their family members even if they die.

With this decree, the concubines above the third rank cheered for joy, while those below the third rank could only watch with envy and hatred, and secretly made up their minds that they must climb up!

Although family members can enter the palace, the harem is the residence of concubines, and outside men are not allowed to enter, so the Jiang family can only enter Jiang Ning's sister-in-law Ruan Shi.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally hoped that my sister-in-law's soft sedan entered the gate of Changle Palace.

The sedan chair stopped, and when Ruan lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, she saw Jiang Ning was already waiting at the door, so Ruan hurriedly knelt down and said, "The minister's wife joins the imperial concubine, the empress is a thousand years old."

Jiang Ning hurried to help her up: "Sister-in-law, don't be too polite, get up quickly."

Ruan looked at Jiang Ning with a smile, and asked, "How are your mother doing these days?"

"I'm fine, sister-in-law, let's go in and talk." Jiang Ning happily ordered: "Jing Qiu, serve tea."

Ruan has also heard about the rumors about Jiang Ning falling out of favor. When she came in, she was worried that Jiang Ning would suffer, and wanted to bring some daily food and utensils into the palace, but the palace rules are strict, and nothing outside the palace is allowed to be brought in. Palace, they had no choice but to give up.

Following Jiang Ning all the way into the dormitory, seeing the magnificent Changle Palace and the maids and eunuchs working in an orderly manner, Ruan felt a little strange.

At this time, Jing Qiu also brought up two cups of tea, the top-grade tribute Yunjian tea!

Ruan couldn't help but have some doubts about the rumors.

"How is your empress? At home, my wife heard that my empress had a sudden miscarriage. She was very anxious. She wanted to see her several times, but she couldn't enter the palace because of the palace regulations. Your elder brother can't wait to rush into the palace to seek justice!"

Jiang Ning took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said, "I'm fine now. The imperial doctor said that I'm recovering well."

Ruan lowered her voice: "Do you know who did it?"

Jiang Ning said: "I can't hide from those people."

Ruan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Do you want your brother to check?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "This is a matter of the harem. If my brother finds out and the emperor finds out, Long Yan will definitely be furious."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, how is your family? Brother Hui is nine years old, so it's time to go to school."

Speaking of children, Ruan became excited: "Yes, brother Hui is also nine years old in a blink of an eye. Your brother said that he planned to train Brother Hui to be a general, so he invited many martial arts masters for him. Just now At first the child couldn't bear it, and cried after falling a few times, but later, I don't know what your brother said to him, but he was willing to learn martial arts hard."

After talking about the family affairs, Jiang Ning brought up the business, "Sister-in-law, tell brother when you get back, let him pay more attention to the Jiangnan side, so that some people will be obedient and obedient."

The Jiang family's ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River. Because of the care of the late emperor, the whole family moved to the capital, but the ancestral house and fields are in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ancestral house is held regularly every year to worship the ancestors.

However, the Jiang family's cronies are also in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Jiang family was promoted step by step, and many cronies relied on their family's power to do some evil things in the south of the Yangtze River to bully men and women, which greatly reduced the Jiang family's reputation.

In the previous life, not long after, a huge scientific examination fraud case occurred in the south of the Yangtze River since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Among the perpetrators, several were the Jiang family's cronies.

It just so happened that Yang Wanruo's father worked in Jiangnan. In order to help his daughter, Yang's father stared at the Jiang family.

One of the officials, who knew he was going to commit a serious crime, but still planned to die, wrote a letter to ask Jiang Ning's brother for help. Father Yang stopped the letter, and later took the opportunity to hand it to Xiao Yan.

Although Xiao Yan didn't do anything to the Jiang family at that time, he already hated the Jiang family in his heart so much that he gritted his teeth with hatred.

It was also for this reason that Xiao Yan remained indifferent after knowing that someone had killed the Jiang family.

Ruan looked at her suspiciously.

Jiang Ning nodded to her with a smile, and said: "Sister-in-law just need to tell my brother what I said, and he will naturally understand."

Ruan Shi nodded, she doesn't understand politics as a woman, but it is also possible to be a microphone.
