Harem Seizure

Chapter 7

The next morning, Shao Yunyan woke up early, and she was going to pay her respects to the queen today.After washing up, I ate a few snacks and drank a bowl of almond cake tea.Then he stepped on the chariot and was carried to the Queen's Fengyang Palace.

When Shao Yunyan's chariot arrived at Fengyang Palace, several carriages had already stopped outside Fengyang Palace.After getting off the chariot, Tingyu helped her and walked in.

At this time, there were already several beautiful women sitting in Fengyang Palace, the corners of Shao Yunyan's mouth raised slightly, how many people had already arrived, it seems that she came a bit late?

"My concubine pays my respects to the empress, and the empress is well." Shao Yunyan bent over and saluted the empress Yao Xiya.

Empress Yao Xiya is a very gentle woman. Seeing Shao Yunyan's standard etiquette, she gently waved her hands and said, "Why should sister Wanyi be so polite? Emerald, thank you Madam Wanyi."

After the queen finished speaking, the maid Fei Cui walked up to Shao Yunyan with the tray. Shao Yunyan lowered her head and said softly, "I thank you, Empress." She raised her hands above her head to take the tray.With the support of Tingyu, he stood up, handed the tray to Tingyu, and looked at the few people present.

Concubine De, Concubine Yugui, Concubine Xia, Concubine Ping are all here.Shao Yunyan raised her lips slightly, these people must have come to join in the fun.Looking at the astonishment in their eyes, Shao Yunyan felt a little happy in her heart.None of them had any good intentions. She didn't come to pay her respects yesterday. They must have thought that Yao Xiya would make things difficult for her today. But not only was she not punished, but she was also rewarded, as if what happened yesterday didn't happen.

Shao Yunyan walked in front of Concubine De, she bowed silently, but did not kneel down.Concubine De glanced at Shao Yunyan, but she still couldn't help but said, "Sister Wanyi, you didn't feel well yesterday? Why didn't you see your sister?"

Just as Shao Yunyan was about to say something, the queen said, "The emperor did not ask sister Wanyi to greet you yesterday, Hai Lin, you didn't ask sister Wanyi to get up."

Concubine De's face froze when she heard what the queen said, why didn't she hear about this?But the expression on her face changed quickly, and she told Shao Yunyan to get up, pulled out a kingfisher hairpin with pearls from her head and handed it to Shao Yunyan, saying: "Look at my sister forgot to bring a gift today, only the hairpin, my sister can't help it!" Never mind."

Shao Yunyan nodded slightly, thanked the reward and turned to the others.Concubine Yugui and the others saw Concubine De like this, so they didn't say anything more.They are not stupid, it can be seen that the queen is protecting Shao Yunyan, so they dare not say anything.So, those who took off the bracelets and sent the sachets were rewarded to Shao Yunyan.Shao Yunyan saw Meng Hanying who was sitting behind. She was from Concubine Ping's Qingxiang Palace, so she was sitting behind Concubine Ping.Meng Hanying was only promoted to Jieyu by the emperor after attending bedtime once.It's a very embarrassing position. Although the Ninth Madam respects Jieyu, it just so happens that there is this eminent position in her palace, but this eminent position is still a concubine who is quite successful, so Meng Hanying is not salty or insipid now. of.

Shao Yunyan took her seat steadily, smiling and looking at the concubines who gave her a half salute.Even though they were meeting together, these people would not be rewarded by Shao Yunyan. After the low-ranking concubines saluted, they all sat or stood behind their respective heads.None of the three people in Shao Yunyan's palace were qualified to come to greet her, and there was an empty seat beside her. Thinking about her position, it should be Pang Lin who hadn't arrived yet.

Looking at the empty seat beside her, Shao Yunyan smiled slightly.She couldn't help but secretly sneered, she really didn't know how to describe Pang Lin.Is she brainless?With her current position, she dared to be openly late for the empress' greetings, really... Tsk tsk, no matter how good-tempered Empress Yao is, she can't stand you being so arrogant, right?Shao Yunyan smiled and said nothing, sitting there was a transparent person, it's not bad to be a theatergoer now.

When the queen looked at the concubines and looked at the vacant seat beside her, she became unhappy.Luo Xinyue asked An to be late and she was used to it, but now that Pang Shi is only a small Xiuyi, he dared to be late like Luo Shi, it was tantamount to slapping Empress Yao across the face.

A group of concubines sat there quietly, watching their eyes, nose, nose, nose, nose and heart, without saying a word, just looking at the queen's expression while drinking tea.Shao Yunyan wanted to go to the theater completely. The painful experience made her learn to watch the theater. In fact, standing on the sidelines and watching the theater, isn't it a kind of struggle?
Just when the concubines got tired of waiting, Pang Lin and Luo Xinyue rushed over one after the other.A group of concubines looked at the two of them and looked at each other, already understanding the meaning.

Luo Xinyue is a good talker. Seeing Yao Xiya's sullen eyes, she couldn't help but smile apologetically, and explained: "I'm a bit late today, and I want the queen sister and a group of younger sisters to wait for me. I'm really very embarrassed. I will give my sister a salute first, and I will apologize."

After listening to Luo Xinyue's words, Empress Yao couldn't say anything about her.So he raised the corner of his mouth, and with a bright smile on his face, he quickly called out: "Look at your mouth, I just want to say something to you, but I can't open it. Take a seat first and rest for a while, sister I'm afraid I'm tired after coming from Nuanyu Palace."

After listening to the Queen's words, Luo Xinyue stood up, sat on the vacant seat, covered her mouth and smiled and said, "It's also my fault that my health is not good. Yesterday, the little prince was not feeling well. The emperor felt sorry for the little prince, so he went to the concubine." I paid a visit to the little prince. Today I am a little tired, and I slept a little bit more deeply, which made my sisters wait so hard."

Luo Xinyue said every word that the emperor went to her palace not for anything else, but for her little prince.But which of the women here is a fool?Will not understand the meaning of her words?She was clearly showing off. Indeed, what she said made Empress Yao, who was trying to maintain a smile just now, turn cold.

Empress Yao was conferred the title of empress in the first year. It has been three years and she has only one daughter.The little prince Luo Xinyue spoke every word was actually the choking Empress Yao, her pretty face was almost distorted.At this time, Xue Xiuyi, who had been standing in the center of the hall, became the target of Empress Yao's anger, and she couldn't help but shout at Xue Xiuyi: "Xue Xiuyi, can you tell me why you are late? Could it be that the journey is too long and your bearer has lost his way?"

Xue Xiuyi looked at Empress Yao's innocent face, blinked her eyes, looked at Empress Yao and said, "Empress Empress, I am a concubine..." Xue Xiuyi was speechless for a long time, the truth is not true. Dare to say, looking for a reason is not as good as Luo Xinyue's, so I haven't said anything.

Luo Xinyue looked at Xue Xiuyi's appearance, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth slightly, covered her lips and smiled: "Sister Queen, this sister Xue Xiuyi has just entered the palace, so it's okay to not know the rules and the time. Why bother?" Complain about it? The time left and right to enter the palace is still short, it's better to ask her to learn slowly."

As soon as the words were finished, everyone turned to Luo Xinyue. What is Luo Xinyue going to do?If the empress wanted to punish a low-level concubine, wouldn't that be as easy as crushing an ant to death?Luo Xinyue blatantly defends Xue Xiuyi. When we think of these two people coming to Fengyang Palace together, the meaning becomes clearer.

Empress Yao secretly swallowed a breath, trying her best to restore a gentle and peaceful complexion, smiled at Xue Xiuyi and said: "Since Concubine Yue is begging for you, I will let you go for the sake of Concubine Yue This time. But if there is another time, don't blame me for following the palace rules."

Xue Xiuyi nodded with an aggrieved face, and saluted both Empress Yao and Concubine Yue: "I thank the empress for not punishing me, and thank my concubine for pleading."

Seeing Xue Xiuyi's appearance, Queen Yao couldn't help feeling unhappy.Secretly holding back the anger in her heart, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she pointed to the vacant seat beside Shao Yunyan and said, "Xue Xiuyi will sit next to sister Shao."

The former is called Xue Xiuyi, and the latter is called Sister Shao.After hearing this, everyone will know which is closer and which is far.He couldn't help but glance at Xue Xiuyi with malicious intentions. If he offends the queen, he will not have a good life in the future... Xue Xiuyi, please ask for blessings.

But there are some people who don't understand the meaning of this, they must attract everyone's attention, and only then will they be satisfied if everyone rejects them
