Harem Seizure

Chapter 21

Sure enough, Emperor Li did stay in Mingyu Palace that night.Not only that, but on the second day, a decree was promulgated to ask Concubine De to help Concubine Xia to assist in the affairs of the West Palace.

After hearing the news, everyone had different expressions.Some people were thinking about how to go to please Concubine De, some people were secretly sour and trying to make trouble, and some low-level concubines were thinking about how to get Gong Xigong.

For a moment, Concubine De was proud of her spring breeze, and she walked like a breeze, together with the servants of Mingyu Palace, all of them raised their heads and chests high.

The corners of Shao Yunyan's mouth slowly curled up when she heard this, it really was Li Huang's style.If nothing has changed, then she will see Meng Hanying soon, and I am really looking forward to her arrival.

"Your Majesty... the emperor has issued a decree this morning, conferring Meng Xiuyuan as Meng Wanyi and granting her a residence in Runze Palace."

"What? Meng Hanying suddenly became the host?" Empress Yao, who was dressing up, suddenly stood up when she heard that, and her hair hurt.The little maid behind her was also terrified, knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy.Empress Yao frowned and asked her to go down, and continued to ask: "Is there nothing unusual about the emperor before this?"

"Your Majesty, the Emperor's master has been staying with Concubine De these days, and only went to Qingxiang Palace last night, so this Wanyi has been conferred today." The visitor gritted his teeth and said.

Empress Yao twisted her face, her sharp nails pierced her palms, she said through gritted teeth, "What is your majesty going to do? You jumped so many levels all of a sudden, and directly sealed Wanyi, the first rank from the third rank."

"Ma'am, do you want us to send her a bowl of good things?"

"Hmph, we won't do anything about this matter. Naturally, there will be people who can't help it. Why should I be a villain?" Empress Yao stroked her hair and said with a smile, "Back off."

A trace of resentment flashed in Empress Yao's eyes.Li Huang gave her nothing except the position of queen and a daughter.She hates her and resents her.The white jade comb in his hand was slapped viciously on the purple gold wooden table. "Meng Hanying..."

Shao Yunyan glanced at Meng Hanying who was shy and smiling, and a smile flashed across her face.Emperor Li suddenly sealed her as Wanyi, but this has never happened before.This promotion from Xiuyuan to Wanyi is the third rank and eighteenth rank, so much has been raised all of a sudden, Li Huang, do you love her or harm her?

"Today we have a new younger sister. Sister Meng Wanyi is so lucky. She has been promoted so many levels at once." Concubine Ping glanced at Meng Wanyi and said sourly.

Concubine Ping felt a little unwilling. She was conferred the first concubine when she entered the palace, and she was still concubine three years later.Yesterday she originally thought that the emperor came to her palace to pamper her, but... he actually went to pamper Meng Xiuyuan, which is tantamount to slapping Concubine Ping loudly.

Empress Yao smiled, beckoned to Meng Wanyi and said, "Sister Meng, come here." Empress Yao smiled gently, like a worthy empress, raised her hand and said to everyone: "Sister Meng is also a newcomer. Ours, although I used to come to pay her respects often, but now my status is different. We can't treat her like before. "

"Yes, I remember that Sister Meng and Sister Shao entered the palace together, and now they are the main seats. This year's show girl selection is really amazing, everyone is beautiful and moving, no wonder Why does our emperor like it so much? If I had to stand by my side, I would be overshadowed. It’s not comparable, it’s not comparable.” Concubine Fang sighed secretly, and glanced sideways at Shao Yunyan, her heart constantly feeling sour .

Shao Yunyan smiled coldly to herself, what you said, Concubine Fang, is obviously to praise them for being beautiful and young, but in fact, you are secretly calling them foxy.Shao Yunyan is now on the same level as Concubine Fang. If she calculates carefully, she is a concubine with a title, so her rank is naturally higher than her.And how could she be willing to show weakness?He also smiled slightly, squinted his eyes and said to Concubine Fang: "Sister Fang Concubine, why should you be ashamed? You followed the emperor when our emperor was still young, and spent so much time with the emperor. The emperor treats you Is my sister's affection better than ours? My sister is also extremely beautiful, if it weren't for her beautiful face, how could our emperor have taken a fancy to her at that time?"

Concubine Fang, choked by Shao Yunyan's words, was speechless.Everyone glanced at Shao Yunyan in admiration.Concubine Fang had indeed been with the prince since Emperor Li was still the prince, but at that time she was nothing more than a child of the prince.Shao Yunyan's words not only slapped her in the face fiercely, but also made Concubine Fang speechless.Shao Yunyan kept praising Concubine Fang for being so beautiful, but in fact she hit Concubine Fang's pain point, her age.

Concubine Fang is indeed not young, already twenty-five.It was also when the former emperor was choosing a concubine, the prince insisted on taking a fancy to her, so Li Huang doted on his son and gave him the then 16-year-old concubine Fang.At that time, Concubine Fang was just the daughter of a seventh-rank magistrate.

Concubine Fang's face was flushed with anger, she pointed at Shao Yunyan and was speechless for a long time.Shao Yunyan blinked her eyes with concern, and said with a worried look: "Sister Fangfei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine...you don't need to pretend to be kind." Concubine Fang glared at Shao Yunyan and said with a cold snort.

Shao Yunyan blinked innocently, looked at the crowd, pouted and said, "My younger sister wanted to care about my elder sister, but my elder sister said that about my concubine, I am very sad."

"You..." After hearing Shao Yunyan's words, Concubine Fang was even more annoyed, she seemed to be the one making trouble for no reason.Immediately there was nothing to say.

Empress Yao laughed, looked at the crowd and said: "Don't talk about anything else, quickly take out all the rewards, don't ask me to ask you for it."

Concubine Xia looked at the crowd, and took the lead in picking off a bunch of kingfisher hairpins with pearls and tassels from her hair, and handed them to Meng Wanyi, saying, "Hey, it's fortunate that my concubine combed her peony hair today. , otherwise I don’t want people to laugh at me.”

"Come on, no one knows that you are a money addict. If you don't want to give someone a gift, you just pull out the hairpin from your head. I remember that when Sister Shao came, you also pulled out the hairpin from your head. I see you will The hairpins and rings are all gone, what should our imperial concubine bring?" Empress Yao smiled and chatted with Concubine Xia, while Meng Hanying saluted and accepted the presents one after another.

Most of these people brought gifts, and they all knew that Meng Wanyi was meeting with the host today, and she wanted to receive gifts.Shao Yunyan just smiled and sent a purse embellished with jade.Meng Wanyi glanced at Shao Yunyan, the expression in her eyes was very unclear.

"Meng Wanyi has led the palace to the East Palace now, and you guys have taken good care of her. Meng Wanyi, your Runze Palace is the closest to Concubine Yi's Yuxiu Palace. If you are bored, you can go to Yuxiu Palace. If you have any difficulties, go to Gao Guifei Or this palace is fine. Don’t let yourself be wronged.” Empress Yao looked at everyone with a deep smile in her eyes.

Meng Wanyi smiled at everyone and bent over to look at Shao Yunyan and said, "The Empress naturally spoke up, I must often go to beg for mercy. Sister Concubine Yi entered the palace with the concubine, but I have to take care of the concubine, the concubine is the one who is grateful." Endless."

"We are sisters who entered the palace together, why bother to talk about taking care of them? It should be about getting along in harmony." Shao Yunyan still squinted her eyes and smiled.In the depths of his eyes, he glanced at Meng Wanyi Gao, it seems that her promotion was not all because of that incident.

"Okay, okay. Meng Wanyi, after we leave for a while, you are going to the Luanyang Palace in the west to pay respects to the imperial concubine. The emperor refused her greetings, so you don't know the rules." Empress Yao said with a smile.

Concubine Xia covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Meng Wanyi don't need to be nervous, the Queen's sister wants you to go somewhere to reward, let's not waste the reward."

Meng Wanyi smiled shyly, blinked her eyes and said: "I know, thank you, Empress Xia Guifei, and thank you, Empress Empress."

"Then let's break up, and I want sister Wanyi to go and say hello." Empress Yao waved her hand, and left early to say hello.

Shao Yunyan has already understood through today's greeting, this is probably Li Huang's plan.The battle at the border is about to start... Shao Yunyan narrowed her eyes slightly, Concubine De, take over.
