Harem Seizure

Chapter 44

Seeing Concubine Lian gnashing her teeth, Shao Yunyan just shook her head lightly.So what if you can bully Bai Shuidrop?If she is really invited to be a noble person by Empress Yao, then she will be the Emperor's person. How capable are you to go against Li Huang's regulations?

Empress Yao sighed softly, looked at Bai Shuidi's face became more and more gentle, smiled at Bai Shuidi and said: "Then I will give some maids to Miss Shuidi, although I can't canonize now, but I think, I will The emperor will not refuse the beauty sent by the palace. Don't you think so, sister Xia."

Concubine Xia's expression flashed with surprise, and then she smiled and said, "Sister Empress said that, as concubines, we should not only serve the emperor well, but also accept beauties for him. The emperor will be very satisfied when he finds out." Concubine Xia understands what Empress Yao means, isn't it because she made Concubine De's maid Chun Yu a talented person?

Empress Yao smiled softly, looked down at Concubine De and asked, "Sister De Concubine, Chuncai has gone to the side hall now, and there is no one to serve you, who is your big maid now?"

Concubine De recalled Chun Yu's ugly face, and then pulled out a smile, looked at Empress Yao and smiled softly: "Chun Yu is fortunate to be appreciated by sister Xia Guifei, it is Chun Yu's blessing. Now the one who serves my sister is Bing Lan, That girl is also very dedicated. But my sister still misses the time when Chun Yu was here, and now my sister often thinks of Chun Yu, but she just thinks that Chun Yu is now rich and honored, which is also her blessing." Although there was reluctance in Concubine De's words, she still smiled said.Looking at Shui Di again, he said, "Miss Shui Di, Chun Yu, my maidservant, also served me in the past. It was just that the emperor took a fancy to her, and she became a talented person in one fell swoop. Now you are lucky to be favored by the emperor, what about a nobleman named Xiu Yuan?" It's also possible."

Empress Yao nodded in satisfaction, and suddenly laughed and said: "It's lucky or not, it's her luck that the emperor likes her. It's also a blessing for her that the emperor doesn't like her. It's a blessing to be awarded the title." Her ancestors have accumulated virtue." Empress Yao smiled and continued: "Looking at this palace, we have gone too far. Let's continue talking, our empress dowager will not return to the palace this year, and the gifts from our various palaces are also the same. I sent it back. Seeing that your congratulatory gifts are all in line with your status, you are ready to prepare and send the things to Zhengyang Hall, and then ask the emperor to send them to the temple where the Empress Dowager Qingxiu is."

"Queen sister, don't worry, we all know the rules. Isn't it just like in previous years, prepare gifts for the queen mother, we all know this. Queen sister, don't worry about it. And new sisters, you just prepare There is no need to prepare anything special for some generous gifts, as long as you are interested. Otherwise, if we send so many congratulatory gifts, we will also ask the Queen Mother to clean up." The imperial concubine smiled gently, looked at the many concubines below, and patiently instructed road.

Empress Yao glanced at the imperial concubine, smiled softly and said, "My sister is very dedicated to this matter! You told them to be very good. My sister and I have a lot of things to do during the Chinese New Year. The person in charge of the gift I will leave the matter to my sister. I am 25 today, and our things will be delivered before the [-]th of the year. It is also a two-day journey from here to Jing'an Temple, but there is not much time left. My sister should take care of it. "

"Thanks to my sister's respect, my sister will definitely do this job well." The imperial concubine curled up her lips and smiled; the smile on her face was very bright.

Empress Yao glanced at the imperial concubine and sighed softly, then smiled and said to everyone: "This year's annual ceremony, the emperor told me that I hope it will be more lively. That is to say, you go back and see your palace. All the concubines in the house are qualified enough to participate in the New Year's banquet this year. And the new palace clothes made by the Harem Shangyi Bureau have already been prepared. My sisters also go back to see if there is anything to buy. Also report the account to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to start adding it."

"Elder Sister Empress, it's really hard work for you to go through these things while you're pregnant. I'm so sorry that I can't help you." Concubine Xia Guifei glanced at Empress Yao and said with sincerity.

"Hey, it's Sister Xia who knows how to be considerate of me. But there's no way. As a queen, I have to do more, otherwise the harem will be in chaos. It's really hard to handle palace affairs while pregnant. I really want to take a rest." Empress Yao praised Concubine Xia, but she straightened her belly without showing any signs, as if she was laughing at Concubine Xia.

Concubine Xia's face changed, she looked at the queen with a very tangled look, and the handkerchief in her hand was about to be smashed.But facing Empress Yao, she still had to wring out a sweet smile and looked at Empress Yao and said, "Elder sister Queen's hard work, younger sister naturally knows, but she is only worried about the little prince and her mother's exhaustion. The little prince will also feel sorry for her." of."

"Hehe, look at what Sister Xia said. It's so sweet. I'm worried that the little prince will be distressed? The queen's body is only a few months old? The child has not yet formed, so how can you feel distressed? That's right, I think Sister Xia is not pregnant. Turn around, I don't understand this." The Imperial Concubine glanced at Concubine Xia, and said with a hint of sarcasm.

Concubine Xia smiled awkwardly, looked at Concubine Huang's blinking eyes, and said with lowered eyebrows: "Sister Huang Guifei said that my sister really doesn't understand these things. But my sister feels that she is still young and has opportunities. My sister is a little anxious ...."

Shao Yunyan was sitting in her seat and playing with her fingers, it's better for her not to get involved.However, it is okay for Concubine Xia to make a fuss. If the people in power in the East and West Palaces become Concubine Gao and Concubine Xia, it would be much easier to handle.Shao Yunyan was a little impatient and resentful that Empress Yao was pregnant and had to deal with palace affairs and control the palace power.According to Emperor Li's character, imperial concubine Luo Xinyue has no right to be in charge of the harem, so how can Queen Yao be allowed to take power?
"Sister Shao, what are you thinking? Why are you so dazed? The queen sister is calling you." Concubine Qi pushed Shao Yunyan and said with a smile.

Shao Yunyan glanced at Concubine Qi, smiled slightly, raised her head to look at Empress Yao and asked, "I don't know why the queen's sister calls her sister?"

"Looking at your pensive look, you seem to be very preoccupied. I didn't even hear you when I called you. It seems that this matter is quite important. I don't know what my sister is thinking?" Queen Yao looked at Shao Yunyan gently said with a smile.

"My younger sister is thinking about what the Queen's sister just said. I am thinking about it. I am in the palace. There is one concubine and two nobles. They, Chang Concubine and Ding Guiren, are new to Yuxiu Palace. They have just been promoted. I haven’t tailored the clothes yet, and the new palace has not been prepared for the Chinese New Year, so my concubine is distracted.” Shao Yunyan smiled apologetically, stood up, and apologized to Empress Yao. "I also ask the Queen's sister to punish her for her disrespect."

Empress Yao waved her hand and said, "Sister Shao, what are you talking about? I don't blame you. You are a man who knows the rules, and you lost your mind because of what I told you. I don't blame you, I don't blame you. " Empress Yao looked nonchalantly, looked at Shao Yunyan and laughed and said: "Actually, there are some things that I call you. You have concubines in the palace now, and you want to take them to the New Year's banquet, you It's a new concubine, and it's the first time to participate in the annual banquet in the palace, so I have to prepare a lot. Oh, look at this palace's memory. Fang Nanny is in your palace, this Fang Nanny is in the palace Old man, what else should I worry about?"

"Nurse Fang has indeed taught my younger sister a lot, and it is also because of Nanny Fang that my sister will not make mistakes in many things." Shao Yunyan raised her eyebrows, laughed, and said while looking at the queen.

Empress Yao smiled softly, looked at everyone again and said: "Oh, look at the time is so late. Fei Cui, pass on the meal. No one should leave today, I invite everyone to a banquet."

Shao Yunyan looked at Empress Yao who was smiling brightly, and slightly raised the corners of her mouth.Looking at Concubine Lian again, she sighed softly in her heart, I am afraid that some people will not be able to eat today's banquet...
