Chapter 151 Seal Your Position

When Concubine Ye was mentioned, Shen Hanlu also remembered that Gu Chaobei praised her so highly that she could be heard by the heavens, but then she is still a concubine, even under Shen Guiyan, isn't it a bit too wronged? ?

Being worshiped by the ministers and winning the six palaces, she should be the queen with her current momentum, right?
Fu Guibin clenched her hands tightly, forced a smile and said: "Ye Bin is right, the emperor should also consider this matter."

But it is a joke for Shen Hanlu to become a queen with such a background.Even if you can hear God's will and have God's blessing, so what?Being a queen is not all about that.

After muttering in her heart, Fu Guipin hurriedly recited the Buddhist scriptures, but she should not be punished by heaven.

"Your Majesty." A little maid came in from outside and said, "The emperor has come to court, and there is an order, please go to the North Palace for lunch."

Concubine Shen nodded: "I know."

The Empress Dowager Nian didn't always like crowds and noise. The Emperor invited her to lunch. Could it be that the Empress Dowager also believed in God's punishment and didn't have the nerve to put down her airs to beg her, so she was asked to come over?
Shen Hanlu seemed to have seen the queen's throne beckoning to her.

Concubine Fu Gui lowered her eyes and said: "Congratulations to the empress, the concubine will leave first, without disturbing the empress to pack up and prepare."

Ye Bin, who was behind, also bowed and retreated.

Naturally, Shen Hanlu would not keep them, so she turned around and changed into a moon-white flowing fairy dress, dressed herself up and went to the North Palace.

Concubine Fu Gui left Luhua Palace, wandered the palace road for a long time, but went to Huaqing Palace.

Concubine Hua was cutting the flowers leisurely. Seeing her coming, she seemed to be expecting it. She smiled lightly and said, "Sister, sit down for a while. I will come when I finish cutting the flowers."

"Okay." Fu Guipin could wait too, so she sat in the front hall and waited.Hongzhi next to her came to serve her tea, and said softly: "Your concubine has a smell of green smoke on her body."

Luhua Palace is often lit with green smoke, pretending to be a smoky fairyland.Concubine Fu Gui glanced at Hong Zhi and said: "This palace is strange, people are panicking now, why doesn't Sister Hua Concubine take a dip in this green smoke?"

After finishing cutting the flowers, Concubine Hua gently put down the scissors, fiddled with the flowers and said, "If there is really a word of God's punishment in this world, if you come today, you won't be able to see me."

Fu Guibin was taken aback.

"Has your concubine's hands not been stained with blood?" Concubine Hua squinted at her: "Have you ever had a clear conscience?"

Nonsense, if she really has a clear conscience, why is she still looking at Shen Hanlu's face?Fu Youyi didn't say anything, but Concubine Hua smiled.

"I don't believe in God's punishment, but if the emperor believes, I can't refute it. If I want to bow my head to that brainless person, I don't want to."

Fu Guipin frowned, a little embarrassed.It's as if she's a no-brainer too.

"Nowadays everyone in the world believes in her and regards her as a god. My sister thinks that she can still be just a concubine without a title? I'm afraid that after the ancestor worship ceremony, she will soar into the sky." Believe it or not, if the emperor really made her queen, what shall we do?"

Concubine Hua's smile faded, and her expression turned ugly.Everyone wants the Queen's seat, and now there is no one there, so naturally everyone feels at ease.But if Shen Hanlu was really allowed to sit on it, what would happen?

She was the first to think of Shen Guiyan, but now Shen Guiyan is simply aloof from the world, no matter how much she teases her, she won't have the slightest thought of fighting.If she doesn't fight, Shen Hanlu's chances of getting the second place will be even greater.

The people in the palace are not blind, Shen Hanlu's status is now at the height of the sky, and there are more people who flatter and flatter her.Concubine Shen, who used to have no powerful background, now has her own power.If you don't stop it, it will be too late in the future.

After Shen Hanlu packed up, she happily left for the North Palace. On the way, she passed the Yonghe Palace. After thinking about it, she was stopped by someone and walked in by herself.

Shen Guiyan was looking at the newly blooming flowers in the yard, very leisurely.As soon as Shen Hanlu came in, she smiled and said, "Sister."

The people in Yonghe Palace, except Baoshan, all the palace people knelt down when they saw Shen Hanlu, more terrified than seeing the emperor.

Shen Hanlu was very satisfied with this situation, she didn't salute Shen Guiyan, she went and sat next to her: "My younger sister was invited by the emperor to have dinner in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and I happened to pass by, so I remembered to come and see my older sister."

The big characters "I'm here to show off" were written on this man's face. Shen Guiyan laughed lowly and flicked his sleeves: "Congratulations."

Shen Hanlu smiled and said in a low voice: "Sister must be unhappy, right? My sister is going to grab something that belongs to you again."

First Gu Chaodong, then Gu Chaobei, they will all fall into her hands in the end.

Shen Guiyan raised her eyebrows, looked at her smug face, and sighed: "You are brilliant today, if you are still humble and obedient, maybe this palace will feel uneasy and feel that you have grown a lot. But you can't hold back The angry appearance, I really have no choice but to be unhappy."

The grasshopper jumps high, and after all, it cannot survive the autumn.

Shen Hanlu's face froze, and he lowered his eyes and said: "Your Majesty still harbors resentment towards my concubines, are you not afraid that heaven's punishment will fall on you?"

"Heaven is fair." Shen Guiyan smiled lightly and looked up: "Whoever does something wrong and kills a person will be punished. No one is forgiven by the sky and does not need to be punished. I am not afraid How about you, Concubine Shen?"

Shen Hanlu was taken aback.

"If you want to eat, go to the North Palace as soon as possible. The Empress Dowager never likes to wait for others." Shen Guiyan waved her hand, supported by the precious fan, and slowly entered the inner hall.

Shen Hanlu stood for a while before recovering, snorted coldly, turned and went out.

Shen Guiyan must be jealous of her, it must be, there is no one who is so calm, if her husband is robbed by her, he will tell her whether there will be retribution or not.

She... she is not afraid of retribution.

After thinking for a long time along the way, Shen Hanlu finally calmed down when she thought of Gu Chaobei's face, and entered the North Palace with a smile on her face again.

"The concubine pays respects to the emperor and the queen mother."

He bowed down with a smile on his face, but when he looked up, he saw a solemn atmosphere.

"Get up and sit down." The Empress Dowager Nian rolled her eyes, and she didn't know why, so she picked up the chopsticks to eat first with an uneasy face.

The emperor sat on the side, looked at her and said, "Concubine Shen, do you know that a very important person died last night?"

Shen Hanlu nodded, she had heard: "Uncle Wen Guo seems to be gone."

"That's right, that's Empress Dowager Wen's elder brother, the only son of Wen Guozhang." The Empress Dowager Nian said with a sullen face, "Although ordinary people don't know how to measure themselves, it's still shocking to be burned to death in her room." .”

Shen Hanlu swallowed her saliva, this is none of her business.

"If Wen Guozhang knew, he would definitely return to court. My daughter had a stroke, and my son was gone. If I get angry, my throne should be shaken three times." Gu Chaobei said in great distress: "What should I do?"

This must be discussing with her, Shen Hanlu replied cleverly: "Uncle Wen Guo was confiscated because of heaven's punishment, as long as everyone in the world believes in his concubines and believe in heaven's punishment, then Wen Guozhang will be angry. You can’t go against the sky.”

The Empress Dowager Nian and the Emperor looked at each other and laughed inwardly.

"Concubine Shen is smart, and I am going to canonize you when the ancestor worship ceremony is held." The emperor said this.

Shen Hanlu was overjoyed, her eyes lit up.What Ye Pin said is right, the emperor really wants to seal her up!

In such an important ceremony as the ancestor worship ceremony, it is naturally impossible to canonize concubines, and the only one who can be canonized can only be the queen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Shen Hanlu immediately knelt down, her body trembling with excitement.

Gu Chaobei smiled and said nothing, while the Empress Dowager Nian looked at Shen Hanlu, clicked her tongue twice, but did not speak.

Concubine Shen will be canonized as queen at the ancestor worship ceremony!
The news came out of Aunt Beigong Qiujin's mouth, it was 100% reliable, and the harem immediately set off a storm.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Shen comes from a lowly background, and she is not enough to receive such a generous canonization." Concubine Hua panicked, and hurriedly ran to kneel down in front of Sheng Jia: "Concubine Shen is not the only one who is capable of taking that position in the harem. At once…"

"Only she can." The emperor looked at Concubine Hua and said, "No need to say more about Concubine Ai, let's go back."

Concubine Hua was furious enough, but Gu Chaobei had already continued to read the booklet.Helpless, he had no choice but to leave the Imperial Study Room.Walking on the palace road full of anger, he happened to bump into Concubine Shen.

Shen Hanlu's eyes now grow on the top of her head. She used to know how to salute when she saw Concubine Hua, but now she couldn't even lower her shoulders, and raised her chin and said, "Sister Hua Concubine looks so angry."

Concubine Hua sneered, stopped her pace and said, "Your sister is in a good position now, but unfortunately, no matter how good her status is, it is not as important as Concubine Yan Gui's position in the emperor's heart. What is there to be proud of?"

Shen Hanlu's face darkened, Concubine Hua opened her mouth very well, whatever she cared about, she chose to say something.Shen Guiyan is not favored now, but Yonghe Palace still has the best food and clothing in the harem. Although the emperor didn't give any rewards, he didn't let anyone bully Concubine Yan.

"Wait until the day my sister can beat Concubine Yan Gui, I will be willing to congratulate my sister." Concubine Hua flung her sleeves and left.

The obvious provocative method, if it were Shen Guiyan, even Fu Guifei would not be fooled by it, but Shen Hanlu is stupid, she has been praised to the sky during the recent period, and she feels that she is the only one in the harem Unbearably cold, helping the emperor to do things, and about to be crowned empress, what is Shen Guiyan, a noble concubine, worth?
So the little girl wanted to die again.

No matter how the rumors spread outside, Shen Guiyan did not believe that Shen Hanlu would be the queen, so she raised the baby calmly.Her feet were a little swollen recently, and Bao Fan pressed her with distress.

"Concubine Shen's tail is almost flying up to the sky." Bao Shan said dissatisfiedly, "It's really uncomfortable to look at the appearance of a villain."

Shen Guiyan lay comfortably with her stomach in her arms, hummed twice, and glanced sideways at the partition next to her.

Dozens of silk ribbons were already tied on it, but when Gu Chaobei announced that Shen Hanlu would be canonized, he didn't come to add two more.
