Rebirth after waste

Chapter 51

The story of Bairi Chaoyun Palace quickly spread to the Six Palaces, and everyone knew that His Majesty said in front of the two Miss Gu, "The best daughter of the Gu family has long been by my side". People can't help but sigh, now Yuan Guiji is really the favorite of the sixth palace!
It was lively outside, and Hanzhang Hall was also beaming.When Aci served tea to Gu Yunxian, she still smiled, "Gu Shi wanted to plot against Miss, but was disturbed by His Majesty! It's really relieved!" The more she said, the happier she was, "All the ladies in my family don't like you It's too much to actually want to enter the palace to compete for favor this time. Fortunately, His Majesty didn't keep those two people behind!"

Gu Yunxian glanced at her lightly, and she stuck out her tongue, "Miss, don't worry, the servant is here to talk, and I will be careful outside!"

Knowing that her carefree temper couldn't be changed for a while, Gu Yunxian didn't bother to talk about her anymore, so he just said: "What does Yu Shuyi mean? How are the status of these family members determined?"

Cai Jia handed over a document: "It was sent by someone from Yuxiu Palace just now. It is said that Empress Shuyi has written all her thoughts on it, please read it."

Gu Yunxian took it over, "Bo Jinyuan is registered as the fifth-rank Fanghua; Bo Xiwei is registered as the sixth-rank Qiongzhang; Lu Lan, Ruan Qingyao, and Xia Ruichu are the sixth-rank Baolin; the other eight are all regular-seventh rank Hui'e." Closing the paperwork, "It's nothing else, will the status of the Bo sisters be set too high?"

Cai Jia said: "Mistress Shuyi means that you can ask Your Majesty for your opinion, Mistress."

Gu Yunxian thought for a while, "That's fine."

When the emperor came over at night, Gu Yunxian remained silent.He served her vegetables with his own hands, but she didn't say anything.

"What's wrong with you?" he finally asked.

Holding her chopsticks, she unconsciously fiddled with the millet in the bowl, "It's nothing."

Her eyebrows were drooping, as if she was angry, but also as if she didn't know what to do, and she looked distressed, but she was extremely cute.

With affection in his heart, he walked up to her and put his arms around her shoulders, "What's the matter, who made you unhappy?" After thinking for a while, "Or did today's general election make you unhappy?"

After saying the last sentence, he put a little force on her shoulder.

She said sullenly: "Why would your majesty ask such a question? The harem election is a good thing, why are the concubines unhappy?"

He looked at her, "So, you are very happy?" He smiled lowly, "Yes, you are preparing for the general election these days, Yunniang, and you have considered everything carefully. You can't be more virtuous."

"Is that bad?"

it is good.Naturally good.But she was too dedicated, and she made him a little uncomfortable.

After not hearing his answer for a long time, she pursed her lips and said slowly: "If the concubine says I am unhappy, what will your majesty think?"

"kindness?"

She raised her head, her eyes were clear, and there was a faint resentment in her, "Your Majesty, why didn't you leave Axi and Ahan today?"

He was slightly taken aback, "Why? You actually want them to stay?"

"Chen Qie...of course I don't want it." She lowered her voice, "But, why did you do this?"

He smiled, and said in a leisurely tone, "Yunxian, Yunqian, Yunhan... It is enough for me to have Yunniang by my side. If the two of them come in again, I don't know what to call you anymore." Fingers slid across her jade-like Qin Liang Liang's cheeks, "Besides, there is resentment in that A-Qi's eyes when she looks at you. If she enters the palace, there will be troubles."

There was another very important reason which he did not mention.In the early years of the Jin Dynasty, the family was trapped in chaos for a long time, and the family was mostly caused by foreign relatives.Now that the Gu family already has Yun Niang in the palace, if the Gu sisters enter the palace again, the situation will probably be difficult to control.

As a descendant of the Ji family, he must not allow the situation of his relatives to dominate him again.

Taking a step back, even if he can control them and not cause trouble.But with three daughters entering the palace as concubines, in order to prevent the Gu family from becoming too powerful, he could no longer give Yunniang a higher position.

This situation is what he does not want to see.

"Why does Your Majesty think about your concubines?" She bit her lip and said angrily.

He raised his eyebrows, "Are you actually annoyed by this?"

She lowered her head slightly, as if she was talking to herself, "The concubine thought well at first, and the harem is elected every three years. This is a rule of the ancestors and cannot be changed. The concubine told herself that even if a newcomer enters the palace, it's okay, As long as His Majesty remembers his concubine in his heart, it will be fine." His right hand gripped his robe, "But during the day you said that in Chaoyun Palace, this concubine...Although this concubine is very happy, she still feels..."

His eyes staring at her became brighter and brighter, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.He spoke softly, with a gentle tone, even a hint of coaxing, "What do you think?"

She looked up at him, her eyes met, her cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were full of grievances, "but she felt angry again. Your Majesty treats me so well, I can't lie to myself. I don't like your majesty's favor." Newcomers, seeing them, the concubines are not happy."

His fingers landed on her forehead, and his fingers pressed against the skin, slowly stroking them down.After a long time, she sighed, "What a silly girl. Since you don't like it, why did you pretend that nothing happened a while ago? It made me..."

The following words were caught in his throat.

"Because the concubine understands that no matter if she is a wife or a concubine, she needs to be virtuous and magnanimous. Jealousy violates the rule of seven, and the concubine does not want to admit that she is so narrow-minded."

He seemed to smile, "If you are really generous and selfless, I will be annoyed."

She looked slightly surprised, and he didn't want to talk more about this topic, so he said: "If you are angry about this, then there is no need. I promise you to be careful, I think you are cute like this."

He spoke easily, but she seemed to be irritated by his indifference, and said in a bad mood, "Your Majesty said this. Even if you agree, the concubine must not lose her dignity. Those newcomers have already entered the palace. Can the concubine Do you want to make them look bad?" Dudu murmured, "If you don't accept so many people, the concubines won't have to struggle so much."

He couldn't laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, it's my fault, I shouldn't have allowed so many people into the palace."

As soon as the words came out, I couldn't help feeling aggrieved.Don't mention it far away, just say that when the late emperor was there, which time the general election did not leave [-] or [-] people?Usually, beauties from all states and counties donate to come.Compared with the bold and unrestrained style of the first emperor, he is really clean and self-sufficient.

Gu Yunxian calmed down for a while, then took the document, and said: "This is the list sent by Empress Shuyi. The positions of the family members have been determined. Your Majesty, do you want to have a look?"

When she said this, she had a serious face, but her lips were red and bright, like cherries, which made him want to step forward and suck them.

Desperately suppressing this impulse, he took the document, glanced at it, and said, "Nothing else, but the position of the concubine of the Bo family is too high. Is it a sixth-rank jade medal?" Shaking his head, "Degraded to Hui E."

Gu Yunxian was stunned.Even if Bo Jinrou is a descendant and Bo Xiwei is a concubine, but one is from the fifth rank and the other is the seventh rank, the difference is too big, right?

"Jin Niang fell into a crime and died, and the Bo clan couldn't help but feel terrified. The border gate still relies on General Bo. He sent two daughters at once this time. I think he was worried. If I don't accept him, he won't be at ease."

Gu Yunxian nodded, expressing his understanding.Turning around, she saw that he was still looking at her. She was a little dazed, and after careful consideration, she realized belatedly that he was explaining to her why Bo's daughter was left behind?
Seeing her expression, he was a little embarrassed, and then realized that he cared too much, and turned his head away in embarrassment.

His expression was too rare, she opened her eyes wide, she didn't know how to react for a moment, and stayed there for a while.

Half a month later, the thirteen selected family members had finished learning the rules under the guidance of Lord Shangyi, and were welcomed into the palace.

According to the rules, when newcomers enter the palace, they must collectively visit the senior concubines in the palace.

In the past, this kind of audience was completed during the morning inspection of the Changqiu Palace.However, there is neither a queen nor a queen mother in the harem now, and the morning and evening Dingshang has long been dispensed with, so it is difficult to have the opportunity to gather everyone together.

Seeing this, Gu Yunxian suggested that, otherwise, all the younger sisters should go to the Yuxiu Palace to pay their respects, and they should go to receive the gift.

The emperor refused, "Although Zhuyang is the most respected in the harem today, she is not the queen after all. Everyone is a concubine, so who else can help each other?"

This made sense, and Gu Yunxian couldn't refute it.Seeing the emperor's eyes turned to her, he hurriedly said with a smile: "Since your majesty said so, it would be shameful to come to the palace of concubines. Otherwise, the place is still in the Yuxiu Palace, and the time is changed to afternoon. It’s not morning sleep or slumber.”

The emperor thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

So on the second day after the newcomers officially entered the palace, Gu Yunxian and the concubines of the sixth palace gathered in the Yuxiu Palace to see the thirteen beauties with good appearances, and bowed down respectfully.

Yu Shuyi sat at the head and said with a smile: "Please, sisters, you will be my family from now on. These things can be regarded as a gift from me to you." As she spoke, she ordered the palace servants beside her to give them rewards.

Everyone respected him.Bo Fanghua had the highest status among the newcomers. He knelt at the front and said loudly when he saw this, "My concubine, Mrs. Xie Shuyi, rewarded me. From now on, I will abide by my duty and serve you well."

Yu Shuyi smiled and nodded.

The palace people set up seats, and they each sat down according to their status.Ming Chongyi looked at Bo Fanghua, sighed, and said, "When I saw my sister today, I was in a daze. This situation is just like when we were in Changqiu Palace before, when Bo Mei was still there!" His face was full of sadness.

"Sister Jiang is wrong, there is no such beauty as Bo Baolin." Yu Shuyi reminded with a smile.

Ming Chongyi looked sober, "Yes, yes, the concubine was sad for a while, and almost forgot about this."

"I am surprised to see your empress like this. Why did your empress have such a good relationship with Bo Baolin before?" Zhen Guiji smiled and said, "I still miss her after so long."

Ming Chongyi smiled but said: "Naturally, I can't compare with your sister. However, if you don't care about your good relationship, I have no choice but to remember it for you."

Zhen Guiji glanced at Bo Fanghua, and saw that her lips were tightly pursed, her expression was a little stiff, as if she was trying to restrain her emotions.

With a cold smile in her heart, she said lightly: "Ms. Bo was convicted and died. His Majesty has given her enough face by burying her in the position of Baolin. At this moment, Empress Chongyi keeps saying that she is worried, so it is possible that she is doing something wrong for Mrs. Bo." , or are you implying that His Majesty handled the case unfairly?"
