Chapter 389
The imperial concubine summoned Lin Shuran to go, so she changed her clothes and entered the palace with the nun in Defei's palace.

Since Concubine De and Concubine Xian gave birth to princes at the same time, although they have not been promoted to concubine status in the harem, their status has risen self-evidently, and even food and expenses are different from before.

Concubine De's boudoir name is Wu Yuwei, she is the eldest daughter of the Wu family, a prominent family in southern Xinjiang in the Jin Dynasty. Emperor Zhao You once met Wu Yuwei when he was traveling in southern Xinjiang, and the Wu family also had a love for Zhao You, so Zhao You ascended the throne as the queen of the emperor So he took Wu Yuwei directly as his harem.

De Concubine Wu Yuwei's mother family is the well-known Ma family in southern Xinjiang. In terms of financial resources, the Ma family is second to none in southern Xinjiang. De Concubine can gain a foothold in the palace, and her status is second only to Empress Wei who was born in the Dingyuan Marquis. Her brother Lu Yongneng Securing the position of general in southern Xinjiang is inseparable from the support behind the Ma family, and the southern border of the Jin Dynasty has always been dominated by the Wu and Ma families.

Empress Wei's original temperament was flamboyant and willful, and she didn't take everyone seriously, and she didn't take the emperor's other women seriously. Anyway, the person who made her unhappy was either thrown into limbo, or she didn't know when she would be able to see the emperor , The queen's ostentatious arrogance has always been obvious.

Concubine De is different from Empress Wei. She prefers to hide needles in the cotton. She will endure the grievances she endured, and she knows in her heart that as long as the Dingyuanhou Mansion does not fall, Empress Wei will have the capital to be domineering.

Lin Shuran knew something about Concubine De, Chen Jiayu told her before, because the person who gave Wei Ying the aphrodisiac that day was the eldest daughter of the head of the Ma family in Nanjiang. In order to gain a firm foothold in the capital, Mrs. Ma and her daughter have been very busy.

It's a pity that the Dingyuanhou's mansion looked down on the daughter of the Ma family, so Mrs. Ma thought of a tortuous route for her daughter, that is, to become Wei Ying's wife, and let the Ma's daughter become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Dingyuanhou's mansion. Plotting the entire Dingyuanhou Mansion.

Who would have thought that Wei Ying did not let Mrs. Ma and her daughter's treachery succeed, but went to find Chen Jiayu with her body. There are also many contradictions.

Since Mrs. Ma came to the capital, she has been lying down in front of the rich and noble ladies, but since Concubine De gave birth to the prince, she has also followed suit. easy to say.

Lin Shuran entered the palace of Concubine De, at first glance, the palace of Concubine De is very delicate and elegant, but with a little discernment, you will find that everything in this palace is valuable and extremely hard to find treasures, low-key This is what luxury looks like.

"The courtiers see the concubine concubine!" Sitting on the phoenix chair in front of her was a beautiful woman in palace attire. In terms of age, she was not much older than Lin Shuran, but her skin was snow-white and rosy, and she was not at all like a woman who had just given birth. The young woman, on the contrary, is full of girlishness, no wonder the emperor still misses her after returning from southern Xinjiang.

"Mrs. Xu, please sit down!" Concubine De smiled and invited Lin Shuran to sit beside her. Her eyes seemed to have no sense of strangeness and alienation towards her, but she looked very familiar, and said, "I have always wanted to find a chance to meet Xu Madam met alone, but there are always delays, and today someone just picked a few high-quality sea pearls from southern Xinjiang and brought them to me, these sea pearls are very rare, and they are even more rare luminous pearls!"

As Concubine De concubine said, Gong'e came out from one side of the hall holding a square exquisite wooden box with both hands, and then walked in front of Lin Shuran, followed by another Gong'e who opened the wooden box and let Lin Shuran see the two egg-like eggs inside. Big luminous sea pearl.

Even if Lin Shuran is ignorant, she also understands that such a big Ye Mingzhu is a priceless treasure no matter in which time and space, and even a layman can see that the color and texture of this pearl are absolutely superior. Two rare treasures.

"Mrs. Xu, how about this Yeming sea pearl?" Concubine De looked at Lin Shuran with a smile, and naturally she did not ignore the surprise in her eyes when she saw the Yeming sea pearl. This is a unique thing in the deep sea of ​​southern Xinjiang. It will take a lot of manpower, money and time, but as long as Xu Junze and Lin Shuran can be won over to her side, she is not stingy with such treasures.

"Hui Niangniang, I have never seen such a big sea pearl. It is really a rare treasure in the world!" Lin Shuran also praised generously, but she usually only admires this kind of treasure, and never greedy and extravagantly expecting to buy it. According to my own, there are so many rare treasures in this world, and I am very lucky to see them with my own eyes.

Concubine De lowered her eyes and rubbed her five fingers with her backhand, then looked at Lin Shuran with a deep smile and said: "It seems that Mrs. Xu also likes this treasure very much. If so, I will give you one!"

Lin Shuran already had a premonition in her heart, but she just had a plain look on her face, and she refused aloud: "Thank you, my wife, for your kindness, but I dare not accept such a treasure, and I can't accept it, please forgive me."

"Why is this? Why can't you accept what I gave you?" Concubine De's face changed slightly, as if to say that Lin Shuran didn't know what was good and what was wrong.

Lin Shuran hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that some time ago, the emperor had an ordinance in the palace that civil and military officials should not have any interests with the concubine, unless the emperor and the queen dowager reward, the rest of the concubine's belongings, whether it is the courtiers or the courtiers' family members It cannot be taught, otherwise it will be a serious crime!"

Ever since someone forced the emperor to appoint a crown prince, the emperor Zhao You was worried about the harem's interference in politics, so he had such an oral order in the early court. Lin Shuran was also glad that the emperor had made a prediction, otherwise she really didn't know what excuse she could use to reject Concubine De.

Naturally, Concubine De was aware of the emperor's oral instruction, she turned her eyes and smiled, and said: "It's just a sea pearl, what's the big deal, why not treat it as a reward from my palace to my wife! Besides, I won't tell you , if you don’t tell me, no one knows where your sea pearl came from.”

Lin Shuran immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the minister's wife can't accept this bead, it's for the sake of your empress, lest anyone think that your empress is deliberately trying to win over your subjects, the empress dowager and the emperor are most taboo about this matter, it would be bad if you heard the rumors and scolded your empress Already!"

Concubine De sees that Lin Shuran is pushy and unwilling to accept Haizhu. Is she afraid of the emperor's orders, or is she unwilling to accept her "overtures"?
No matter what kind, I should not be able to send this sea pearl today. Although I was unhappy in my heart, Concubine De still had a smile on her face. She pretended to sigh regretfully, chatted with Lin Shuran for a while, and then found someone Excuse her to go out.
