The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 243 Canonization Ceremony
For Yifei, this is a rare good thing.

Apart from other things, it is a kind of recognition of her identity that the matter of this canonization is led by her.

So there is no room for mistakes tomorrow.

Soon, the canonization ceremony on New Year's Eve was held as usual.

Among the six people who were conferred this time, the nobles were originally the highest, but now it is Lin Wanyi, the new concubine of Yi Ning.

When she learned of her title, Lin Wanyi also felt a little bit of astonishment.

Double character title, never heard of it before.

She wanted to not stand out so much.

But after thinking about it, she felt that this was the future that her brother had worked so hard to earn for her. If she backed down, I'm afraid that other people would not appreciate her low-key attitude.

I also think she is doing it on purpose.

So, instead of trying to please her, she simply accepted it with peace of mind.

The eunuch in charge of presiding over the canonization ceremony was Dong Yuzhong.

Logically speaking, it should belong to Jiang Heqing, but now he is staying beside Concubine Lin, even if he spreads his wings, he will not be able to come back.

As for Ruan Ming, there were not enough of them according to their grades, so Dong Yuzhong could only do this on his behalf.

The emperor sat high on the dragon chair in Qian'an Hall, and today he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

The dragon's eyes were embroidered by dozens of embroiderers using new techniques, so they are extraordinarily bright and shining.

It also sets off the vigor of the emperor.

"The nobleman Lin is diligent and submissive, gentle in nature, gentle in appearance, and canonized as a noble concubine immediately after writing this book. She is bestowed the title of Yining, and lives in the main hall of Yihua Palace. I respect you."

Following Dong Yuzhong's neither humble nor overbearing voice, he fell behind word by word.

The identity of Lin Wanyi's noble concubine is the real one.

Now that she is in this position, she is also worthy of being called "Niang Niang" by the palace people.

If there is another Jin title, it will be the youngest concubine in this dynasty.

So it's a moment of glory.

"Concubine, thank you Lord Long En."

Then followed her by Mrs. Qiangui, Mr. Ming, Yi Changzai, Mu Changzai, and the beautiful lady.

The canonization decree was also issued one by one.

When hearing the imperial decree, the faces of the five people were all different.

Some were delighted, while others were flattered.

Lin Wanyi remained consistent, just like before, with a slight humility on her expression.

Concubine Yi and Concubine Ying sat on the left and right sides of the emperor respectively. When they looked down, their eyes fell on Lin Wanyi.

"Sister Lin is so talented, humble and polite, she is indeed worthy of being the head of the first palace. I just got a set of moonlight cups a few days ago, so I gave it to my sister as a gift of Jinfeng."

It was Yi Fei who spoke.

She is quite satisfied with Lin Wanyi's performance today.

The most fearful thing about being promoted suddenly is the smug face that once gained power.

She treated it calmly, without any arrogance.

"The concubine thanked the empress for the reward."

In the eyes of Concubine Ying, Lin Wanyi's indifference made her feel a little more apprehensive.

You know, the more indifferent and ascetic this is, the more likely there are hidden thoughts behind it.

Therefore, she had to pay more attention.

But the appearance that should be on the surface, still has to be pretended.

Especially since Lin Wanyi had saved her before, she naturally wanted to be a little closer than others.

So he raised a smile and said generously.

"Sister Yifei said that Sister Lin's character and talent are a model for us and other sisters. Now your body and bones are looking good. I hope you can give birth to Lin'er for the emperor as soon as possible, and make a lot of achievements for the royal family." Ye is good!"

After all, someone brought up a Jade Guanyin.

Then he explained.

"This Jade Guanyin was given by the imperial concubine when the concubine was pregnant. Without her kindness and protection, I don't know if the concubine can successfully give birth to the fourth prince, so I specially donated it to my sister. It can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, and I hope my sister can accept it with a smile."

What bad thoughts could Concubine Ying have?

It's just that the Jade Guanyin given to her by her sister was given to her younger sister Lin Wanyi backhandedly.

Even if something goes wrong in the future, it will still be Lin Guifei's business.

Instead, she completely left herself behind.

It has to be said that after Concubine Ying came to power, she is really different from before.

Fortunately, Lin Wanyi had never had a close relationship with him, and there was no question of betrayal or not.

So he also smiled in a good temper, and said.

"The concubine thanked Concubine Ying for the reward."

The etiquette is done as usual, but the words are not said a word.

Concubine Ying seemed to feel Lin Wanyi's faint refusal attitude, but she didn't force it.

After the people sent Jade Guanyin down, they stopped talking.

Instead, Concubine Yi who was at the side suddenly spoke.

"The days go by so fast. In a blink of an eye, the concubines have been in the palace for several years. In March, it will be the day of the draft, and the palace will be lively again. I don't know how many younger sisters will be admitted this year. I want to come It must be cute too."

As soon as she said this, everyone's original good intentions became a little reluctant.

That's right, today they are still delicate and tender in the palace, and when a new batch of beautiful women enter the palace, they will be like yesterday's flowers.

Those who were promoted are okay, at least they have struggled for this year and have taken two steps up.

But the faces of those who did not receive this grace and were even demoted were not good-looking.

Bai Guiren's self-pity, Chu Xu's resentment, and the indifference of those unfavored "transparent people" in the harem all fell into the emperor's eyes.

There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, and then he cleared his throat and said.

"I have something to say about the draft."

When the emperor spoke, everyone naturally listened.

Seeing that he was not in a hurry, he said.

"Since I succeeded to the throne, the drafting has been a big deal. The election every year not only consumes the treasury, but also delays the marriage of ordinary people. Suddenly, I feel that the burden on my body is quite heavy."

"As an emperor, it is what I should do to make suggestions for the people and to do my best for the dynasty. Therefore, the audition should be changed to every five years. As for girls of the right age, they can marry on their own, and there is no need to wait for the court's audition."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The ones who are happy are naturally those concubines who are interested in going up the road. They never thought that they would have such a chance.

Five years is enough time for them to climb up the ladder for a long time.

Without newcomers to mix in, they have many more opportunities.

So everyone is smiling.

But this news is a bolt from the blue for a concubine like Yifei who wants to consolidate her power and status.

Yesterday, she sent someone a message to her natal family, saying that she wanted to pick out some good ones and wait for the draft.

Unexpectedly, today will change.

So he frowned and said.

"Your Majesty, the draft rules were set by our ancestors. It might be inappropriate to change the system rashly."
