Harem Seizure

Chapter 43

The imperial concubine squinted her eyes at Empress Yao, laughed softly and said, "It's rare for the sisters to get together, and it's okay to chat for a while. They're just talking, so they shouldn't waste too much time. The queen sister won't Are you reluctant to invite your sisters to eat something?" After finishing speaking, the imperial concubine just pursed her lips and smiled, with tenderness in her eyes.In fact, she is still very happy to see all the concubines ridiculing Concubine Lian.

Empress Yao smiled slightly, and looked at the imperial concubine raising her eyebrows, feeling resentment in her heart.The other concubines don't care about Concubine Lian's backstage. After all, there are so many people, the law does not blame everyone.But Empress Yao can't, she is an empress, if Concubine Lian suffers any grievances.In case I talk to the queen mother in the future, she will be the first one to be unlucky.But Empress Yao saw how excited the concubines were, and couldn't say anything.She could only twist out a sweet smile and said, "Sister, why doesn't she invite all the younger sisters to dinner? Fei Cui, tell Nanny Li to go to the small kitchen to prepare some meals. I am going to invite all the younger sisters to dinner today." Empress Yao paused and said, "But we really want to talk about serious things, otherwise today's gathering would be meaningless. We can't delay serious things because of some people, right?"

As soon as Queen Yao said this, everyone understood.The empress was helping Concubine Lian, and all the concubines were not fools, so they followed the empress's words to discuss serious matters quickly.

Concubine Xia glanced at the queen, and let out a cold snort from the tip of her nose.The queen didn't hear it. If Queen Yao heard it, it might be another war.

Concubine Lian, who had been silent all this time, followed Empress Yao's words and said, "I think what the empress said is really reasonable, sisters can't break the rules because of my status. We are all here to report the work in the palace, we can't Delayed serious business. It is almost the Chinese New Year now, if it is delayed, the crime will be too great."

Concubine Gao smiled softly, but said very gently: "Your sister's words are wrong. How could it be a crime? The queen's sister is virtuous and generous, so how can she know that the sisters are innocent just because of their small talk? Sister Lianfei, don’t say such things in the future. Although we are here to report work, the people in the first palace still have to go through our hands and present them to the queen sister. Let's take care of it, the queen is just making statistics. If everything has to go through the hands of the queen, then what's the point of setting us as the lord of the first house? Although it's almost Chinese New Year now, the things that need to be prepared are almost the same Is it. Could it be that Sister Lianfei is not ready yet?"

Concubine Lian's expression twisted for a while, looking at Concubine Gao with a gentle smile, she really couldn't say what other Concubine Gao said was reasonable, she didn't refute, and she didn't have that right, she just looked at Concubine Gao sadly, as if she had been hurt Great grievance.

"Hey, why is Sister Concubine Lian making such an expression. Sister Gao doesn't seem to be bullying you, does she? Sister Gao's words are reasonable, you have to listen to Sister Gao's words." Concubine Xia Guifei smiled softly, stroking her bun, with a strong look in her eyes. smile.

"Concubine Xia, I know..." Concubine Lian's eyes were a little red, and her eyes were full of grievances when she looked at Concubine Gao and Concubine Xia.

Concubine Xia shook her head and waved her hands and said: "Sister Lianfei dare not dare, sister, I dare not ask you to call yourself a concubine. We are both sisters, if you call yourself like this, it will be difficult for you to call yourself a sister. You call yourself a younger sister. Okay, we dare to compare with you. It's just Sister Lianfei, what I want to say is that my sister didn't want to teach you or bully you. Don't be wronged, we are all sisters. If you look like this, if you want to If the Empress Dowager finds out, isn't she heartbroken to death."

"We are all poor people who have no one to ask for and no backer. It is better to have a strong backer. Even if that backer is not around now, no one dares to touch him. Sister Xia, my sister still wants to say, it is you who are kind Low-key, not like some people, relying on their good family background, they don't pay attention to Li Guo's rules. Although they did those low-key things, it really violated a good family name and a good family background."

"I said Sister Pingfei, if you want us to be envious, you won't be envious. We are all old people who served the emperor at the beginning, and it took us so many years to get to the second rank of concubine. Although the time you served the emperor, Sister Pingfei, was a little shorter , but she is also a concubine who is the same as them. Look at her, with her figure and appearance, she has risen to her current position. She also has some skills, who would be able to pull down that face if it were someone else?" Concubine Fang curled up her mouth and looked Concubine Lian glanced at her proudly.So what if your Concubine Lian has a good family background?Isn't it just obediently sitting in the position of the last six concubines?What's the use of going up a level?Didn't the emperor reward you with a first-class concubine's walking chariot?The number of people who serve you is still the number of little Xiuyi, and the quota has not even increased. This is really a big joke.

Concubine Meng rubbed her stomach and smiled with tenderness on her face. She glanced at Concubine Lian and said with a smile: "Don't laugh at Concubine Lian. She is probably anxious to learn how to manage the first palace. This Xiuyi There must be a lot I don’t understand when my younger sister became Concubine Lian for the first time. As older sisters, we must teach her. Don’t you think so?”

As soon as Concubine Meng Gui's voice fell, Concubine Lian's face became even more ugly.All the concubines looked at each other, this Concubine Meng's ability is getting better and better.These words are really on point, who doesn't know that Emperor Li took all the people from Jianfu Palace to other palaces?Concubine Lian was the only one left in that Jianfu Palace?The meaning of the emperor is very obvious. What Jianfu Palace said nicely is to pray for well-being and establish blessings. Isn't this ugly way of laughing at Concubine Lian as a bitch?

"Sister Meng, are you saying that wrongly? What can Concubine Lian learn from? Our emperor still cherishes Concubine Lian, and he is worried that Concubine Lian will be tired, so he doesn't want Concubine Lian to learn the rules. Really A different kind of doting, I really want to be envious." Concubine Ping smiled gently, and glanced at Concubine Meng with a smug smile.

"Ahem...Sister Concubine Ping, this is what we should do. What do you have to complain about? You, since you are the head of the first house, you should handle the mundane affairs of the first house properly. Where are you? Wouldn't it be another crime to say something like this, if someone with a heart finds out?" Meng Guifei coughed lightly, looked at Concubine Ping and laughed.Although Concubine Meng Gui's pregnancy is very hard now, and the emperor doesn't treat her well.But now at least she is the best girl of their class, the luckiest, who can have this chance to be lucky enough to conceive a dragon child, even Shao Yunyan?Isn't there no chance to conceive a dragon species?I'm afraid the emperor doesn't want her child at all.

Shao Yunyan looked carefully at Meng Hanying, who was smiling softly, and suddenly smiled softly.Where did the complacent look come from in her heart?Although she was mocking Concubine Lian on the surface, no one could see the pride in her words.With a bright and gentle smile, he glanced at Concubine Meng and said: "Sister Meng's words are reasonable, and it would be a crime if someone with a heart heard her words. But I think that the servants of Fengyang Palace are all honest .The servant brought out by our sisters will not be a mouthful. It's all about our sisters' personal words, how can we let others know? Do you think I'm right, Sister Lianfei." Shao Yunyan looked at Concubine Lian and raised her crescent-like eyebrows.

As soon as Concubine Lian's face twisted, her complexion suddenly looked not so good-looking.She just looked at Shao Yunyan with a smile and said with a smile: "Sister Yi Concubine's words are all sisters' own words, so my sister will naturally not want others to know. I'm just worried that some people will tell others what we say. "Concubine Lian looked at Shao Yunyan and couldn't help feeling a trace of resentment.

Empress Yao glanced at Shao Yunyan, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.If you don't take part in making trouble, it doesn't mean you want Concubine Lian to be happy.When she, Shao Yunyan, said this, she also cut off Concubine Lian's way to make a small report.It's all personal words between sisters, you tell others what's going on.It would be embarrassing to say this. According to how much Concubine Lian loves face, she shouldn't ask for shame.

"Sister Concubine Lian, you should rest assured. Sister Concubine Yi is right. The servants brought out by our sisters are all smart and will not do stupid things. Who would tell others about this kind of thing? Could it be that Lian Sister concubine's servants will say?" The imperial concubine rubbed her stomach and said with a smile.

Concubine Lian looked at the imperial concubine with cold eyes, she just bit her lips and said nothing.Empress Yao saw that the concubines had calmed down, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, let's talk about it. Let's talk about business." Empress Yao took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The gift list sent by your sisters , this palace is already over. You have handled it well. It’s just Sister Lianfei, although there are few people in your palace, there are also quite a few servants. From the nanny in charge of the eunuchs, to the poor servants, the cook, etc. There are also dozens of numbers. You didn’t report the things they need to replace. And you didn’t report the monthly expenses and food expenses in your palace. You used to be the only high position in Jianfu Palace, and now you are the only one in the palace. Concubine. Why can't you handle this matter? Didn't Grand Master Pang's family teach you how to manage the house?"

"The queen's concubine has been very unwell for the past few days and has been bedridden. As you can see, the concubine's body has not recovered today, and I really don't have the energy to handle these things. I must go back today and take care of it. I must not empress empress. Disappointed." Concubine Lian was helped up by the maid behind her, and she quickly apologized to the queen and told her mistakes.

"Forget it, I don't dare to overwork you because of your poor health. It's really bad for you to be sick because of this matter." Empress Yao glanced at Concubine Lian's pitiful appearance, and looked at Concubine Lian. There is absolutely no disdain and grievance towards others.I crouch down in front of her and get up small.Empress Yao couldn't get used to people who are bullying and afraid of evil the most, so she snorted disdainfully, fixed her eyes on the water drop behind Concubine Lian, and said with a soft smile, "Your name is water drop, isn't it?"

When Shui Di heard the Queen's question, he quickly knelt down and replied, "As the Queen said, the name of this servant is indeed Shui Di."

"It's a good name. Seeing that there is no high position in Jianfu Palace, the emperor took away all the concubines for the sake of your master, and left the entire palace to herself. Look, now only Bengong Heyue My sister has her own independent palace. Fortunately, we have enough experience. Your master is not in good health and has no experience. You look like a delicate girl. You are deeply liked by me. I am the queen and the emperor Wife. In the civil society, wives also have to be good helpers to their husbands. They should help their wives to choose good concubines. Now you have a very good relationship with your master, and you are willing to serve your master. How about, I will do it I have accepted you as a nobleman for the emperor, so I want you to replace your master and take charge of the Jianfu Palace." Empress Yao smiled softly and finished speaking with a smile.He also glanced at Concubine Lian.

Concubine Lian turned pale, stood up, knelt down in front of Empress Yao and said, "Empress Empress, please don't make Shui Di a noble person, no."

With horror on his face, Shui Di just shook his head.Nothing else was said.

"You dare to refute the words of Queen Concubine Lian? Are you blind? Didn't you see that Concubine Lian is in poor health? Why don't you help Concubine Lian up?" The imperial concubine snorted coldly, and glared at her entourage. People, scolded and said.

After hearing this, Concubine Lian's servant immediately came over to pull Concubine Lian, and said, "Your Majesty, get up first."

"No, empress empress. Shui Di is a servant who serves my concubine. I cannot live without Shui Di. I am used to being served by Shui Di. I beg you, Shui Di is my slave, how can I be named a nobleman?" Concubine Lian hurriedly She gave Empress Yao a heads-down, and said she must never do it.

Empress Yao smiled playfully, looked at Concubine Lian and said with a smile: "The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door. Your concubine Lian's servants originally received the salary of a first-class maid, and the nobleman is no higher than the salary of a first-class maid." How much. Our country of Li can afford to support a nobleman."

"No, Empress Empress. How can a concubine's servant be named a nobleman? She is serving the concubine, how can she serve the emperor with the concubine?" Concubine Lian glanced at the water drop and said viciously: "She is a lowly maidservant. , how can I live in Jianfu Palace? No? She was born to serve me, a lowly maid."

"Empress Empress, I have thanked Empress Empress. I am grateful for this." Shui Di glanced at the ferocious Concubine Lian, and a trace of injury flashed in her eyes.She is serving Concubine Lian, but she is not a natural slave, why should she always serve her?Born to serve her?If Concubine Lian hadn't said that, maybe she would still reject Queen Yao, even if she was punished.It's just that Concubine Lian's words hurt the water droplets.

Empress Yao raised the corners of her mouth and smiled and said, "I will ask the emperor for a favor to enshrine Shui Di as a noble person. I don't know what your surname is Shui Di?"

"My maidservant's surname is Bai." Bai Shuidi glanced at the queen with a timid expression and said.

"Your surname is Bai? Let's call you nobleman Bai. Afterwards, I will ask the emperor to give you another title." Empress Yao finished speaking with a smile, and smiled softly when she saw the angry Concubine Lian.

Shao Yunyan lowered her head and just smiled quietly, what is Queen Yao doing?Unexpectedly, a beauty has been selected for Li Huang, and the first seal is a noble person.But looking at this beauty, no matter how low the seal is, Li Huang will be very happy to seal it higher when he sees it.

Concubine Lian glanced at Bai Shuidrop resentfully, her white teeth gnashing.The resentment towards Empress Yao in her heart has reached its peak. At this moment, she only feels that her face has been completely lost. Now her mood is not comparable to being ridiculed just now.Suddenly, the long and sharp nails pierced into the palm of the hand without feeling any pain.White water drops... I want you to look good.
