The Salted Fish Empress Dotes on the Harem

As soon as the emperor said this, all the concubines exclaimed in a low voice, and the queen mother also frowned slightly.

Zhao Nuoqing was even more stunned, staring at the emperor motionlessly.

For beauties and concubines above, apart from the prominent family background, another way to promote is to have children, but Zhao Nuoqing doesn't occupy both ends, why does the emperor suddenly want to promote her as soon as he comes back?
After all, the emperor has been a mother and son for more than 20 years. The queen mother knew that the emperor was not the kind of person who disregarded the rules of the ancestors and acted recklessly. There must be something hidden this time.

So, the queen mother asked with a smile: "Can the emperor explain why to Aijia?"

Shen Bochen unhurriedly took out a white handkerchief from his bosom under everyone's puzzled and shocked eyes. It seemed that the handkerchief was wrapped with something extremely important, and the emperor carefully and slowly opened it. Inside the handkerchief, there was a piece of jade pendant that was broken into pieces.

Zhao Nuoqing opened her eyes slightly, isn't this jade pendant carved by herself and given to the emperor as an amulet?How did it become like this?
Then I heard the emperor say: "When I was patrolling the people half a month ago, I suddenly encountered a bandit. The bandit was extremely tough. I was almost injured by the bandit. Later, it was this amulet that saved my life, so that I was spared Disaster!"

Shen Bochen looked at the queen mother, "My queen, if I don't have this amulet of Zhao Cairen, I'm afraid I will be separated from my mother's yin and yang! So my mother, I want to be promoted to the position of Zhao Cairen! Please agree!"

Listening to the Emperor's narration, the Empress Dowager's face had already turned pale. Half a month ago, wasn't it when her Buddhist beads suddenly broke?

It turned out that at that time, the emperor was really suffering a catastrophe of life and death!

However, at that time, Zhao Nuoqing also told her that the emperor's auspicious people have their own appearances, and they will turn bad luck into good luck, as expected!
The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Nuoqing lovingly, and nodded, "Yes! Talented Zhao deserves a reward for his meritorious service in escorting him! My darling, thanks to you, you are our Dazhao's benefactor!"

Zhao Nuoqing was astonished in her heart, this is really...God's favor!

All the concubines were terrified when they heard the emperor's words, but when they saw that Zhao Nuoqing was awarded the title, they all felt apprehensive.

How could this Zhao talent be so lucky?

There is no canonization ceremony for concubines below the rank of concubine, it is just an imperial decree from the emperor. However, because of Zhao Nuoqing's great contribution this time, the queen mother personally decreed and staged a play for Zhao Nuoqing at her own expense to celebrate She was promoted to the position of beauty and invited all the concubines to go to the theater together.

The concubines in the harem are naturally unwilling to go, but this is the order of the Empress Dowager, if they don't go, won't they not give the Empress Dowager face?

They don't have the guts!

Inside the Qingran Pavilion.

Xu Cairen, who heard about Zhao Nuoqing being named a beauty, tightly held a pair of two-inch small tiger-toed shoes in his hands, his eyes were full of sternness.

How could the person who harmed her child be able to be promoted to be a beauty smoothly?Why? !

She regretted in her heart, why didn't she cling to Zhao Nuoqing at the beginning!

So what if the princess is there?

Can she turn upside down as a four-year-old doll?
However, the opportunity has been missed, and now only regret and resentment remain.

Xiyue came in from outside the house, and asked tremblingly: "Master, there is a play banquet at Meiren Zhao's place, are you...going over?"

She also didn't want to report the matter at the risk of being beaten, but this was a banquet hosted by the Queen Mother for Zhao Nuoqing, so she had to mention it.

Xu Cairen looked up at the bronze mirror on the dressing table in front of him.

In the bronze mirror, she frowned tightly because of resentment, and her pale and bloodless face added some traces of time to her.

Xu Cairen suddenly became flustered.

Recalling Zhao Nuoqing's charming face, she couldn't help feeling inferior again.

"Xiyue, put on makeup!"

Xiyue thought that Xu Cairen was going to Zhao Cairen's place, so she hurried forward to put on makeup for her.

After tidying up, Xu Cairen's originally pale face instantly turned rosy, and his complexion was much better than before.

Xu Cairen looked at his exquisitely dressed self in the bronze mirror, and asked, "Xiyue, do you think the emperor will still like me?"

Xiyue lowered her head nervously, and said, "Of course I will! Master, the emperor is back now, you can visit him at any time!"

Xu Cairen suddenly shook his head, "But... I don't have Zhao Cairen... No, it's Zhao Meiren. I'm not as beautiful as her. How could the Emperor like me?"

Xiyue became even more nervous. If she replied "No, you are not as good-looking as Zhao Cairen", then she might be dead.

"No, this servant thinks you are better than Meiren Zhao! What's more, the emperor liked you before! This time your miscarriage, the emperor also sent a lot of supplements!"

"But, didn't the emperor come to see me again?" Having said this, Xu Cairen's eyes were slightly red, and tears glistened in his eyes.

Xiyue was flustered, and hurriedly said: "The emperor's state affairs are heavy. You see, no matter how favored Zhao Meiren is, she has not conceived a dragon heir? This shows that Zhao Meiren's blessing is not as good as yours! Master, if you can cheer up Wake up, you will definitely be able to conceive a dragon heir again! So you..."

Xiyue quietly raised her head to look at Xu Cairen, and saw that the coldness in her eyes seemed to be much less. Obviously, her words were useful to her, so she continued: "I heard that the emperor will also go to Zhao Meiren today. , Master, shall we go and have a look?"

Xu Cairen thought for a moment, the emperor is here, so maybe he will miss some old love when he sees her...

She nodded, "Go! Go to Lingyun Pavilion!"

Inside Lingyun Pavilion.

The stage had already been set up, and because of the cooler weather, the stage was set up in an unused but spacious hall in Lingyun Pavilion.

Concubine Yi couldn't come because of the occasional cold, and the Queen and Concubine Wen who were sick all the year round naturally couldn't come either.

Concubine Shu didn't even want to look at Zhao Nuoqing, so she didn't even find someone to send a message. However, Zhao Nuoqing still prepared her place.

Only Concubine Jin came here early with Princess Jiamin. Since the last time Zhao Nuoqing was wronged in the Royal Garden, Concubine Jin's heart knot has also been untied, and she has become closer to Zhao Nuoqing since then.

In addition, Princess Jiamin seems to like Zhao Nuoqing very much, she often clings to her mother and wants to play with Zhao Nuoqing.

Because of Zhao Nuoqing's good skills, she often dresses up Jiamin beautifully, so Jiamin likes to come to Lingyun Pavilion to look for her to dress up. Every time after dressing up, she must run all over the palace , let everyone see her beautiful bun and hair accessories.

Concubine Jin came forward holding Jiamin's hand, and when Jiamin saw Zhao Nuoqing, she broke free from her mother's hand, went straight to Zhao Nuoqing, and shouted happily, "Zhao Niangniang, Zhao Niangniang~"

Zhao Nuoqing was chatting with Lin Cairen and Cheng Cairen when he suddenly heard Jiamin's voice, and when he turned around, he saw Jiamin swaying and trotting towards her, so he stretched out his arms and hugged Jiamin. In his arms, he kissed Jiamin's little face, looked up at Concubine Jin, hugged Jiamin and bowed to Concubine Jin.

Concubine Jin smiled and said, "Hurry up and get rid of the courtesy! My sister doesn't have to be polite to me!"

Lin Cairen and Cheng Cairen also stepped forward and saluted Concubine Jin.

After everyone chatted and laughed, they suddenly heard the outside singing "Xu Cairen has arrived!"
