Difficulty concubine

Chapter 234

Before Jiao Niang could speak, Li Zhaoyi snorted first, looked at Yuan Shi with a half-smile, and said casually: "Yuan Shuren thinks that she has gotten closer to Concubine Xian in recent days, and now her mouth is a coincidence, and she is more courageous." It's too old, the two empresses are talking, so why should you open your mouth."

Yuan Shi used to be the same concubine with Li Zhaoyi when she was in the mansion, and once competed with her for favor, and has always had old grievances, now seeing her open her mouth to ridicule herself, she can't help being ashamed and annoyed. One step, and now the position is incomparable to others, if not, how could she, Mrs. Li, ridicule herself.

Under the threatening situation, Yuan Shi could only get up and plead guilty: "It's a concubine who has nothing to do, and I ask the imperial concubine to punish her."

Jiao Niang never cared about Yuan Shi, only relying on her original self-assessment, she has fallen out of favor in front of the emperor, such a fool is not worth her trouble, therefore, she smiled lightly, raised her plain hand lightly, and said: " In front of the empress, there is no reason for me to punish you."

The queen frowned indistinctly, then smiled and said: "Yuan Shuren has always been frank, the emperor also liked your character back then, even though you said nothing, it was unintentional to go, I see, there is no need for punishment, you Just be careful in the future.”

The empress's words were in line with her usual gentle and magnanimous image, so it was not surprising. Jiao Niang just bent her lips and smiled, nodded and said: "What the empress said is true." Then she looked at Yuan Shi and chuckled: "Yuan Shuren will You should be careful, after all, your outspoken personality doesn't please the emperor now." Jiao Niang covered her lips and laughed crisply, her charming phoenix eyes were shining with mockery.

Yuan's complexion froze, but she could only swallow her breath, and said with a blessing, "I will remember the teachings of the imperial concubine and empress."

The queen's complexion changed slightly, seeing that although Jiao Niang first agreed with her own words, but her words against Yuan Shi were clearly provoking herself, she felt angry suddenly, curled the corners of her lips slightly, and said: "Okay, it's all hidden mansions." Old man, there is nothing to teach or not to teach. If we really talk about teaching, the precious concubine will be busy in the future." Speaking of this, the queen smiled a little happily, looked at Jiao Niang and said: "Today there is one thing I want to discuss it with you guys. There will be a draft in the beginning of spring. I am busy with palace affairs. I would like to hand over the primary election to you guys. Concubine Zhenzhen has always had good eyesight. At that time, I need to select a few more talents for the emperor. Yes, it would also fill the harem."

The smile on Jiao Niang's face remained unchanged, but her hands hidden under her sleeves were clenched together, and she said softly: "How can I be a concubine, I'm afraid I will disappoint the empress's kindness."

"Why can't you do it? This palace says you can do it. Besides, the primary election is not a favor for you. Concubine Xian, Li Zhaoyi, Shen Zhaorong, and Qi Zhaoyuan will also be there to help you, so you don't have to refuse. "The queen smiled gently, and her tone was extremely gentle.

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Jiao Niang could only bear it, but she vomited blood in her heart, thinking, let her handle the primary election, wouldn't the queen be afraid that she would choose some salt-free girls to disgust the emperor?
It has to be said that when it comes to the draft, not only the young ladies, but also the concubines are not very good-looking. Although Li Zhaoyi and the others are not favored by the emperor, they don't want to see someone stepping on them one day, so Several people were reluctant to accept this job.
