When she heard the news, Nuan Si was obviously surprised. She shouldn't be. The fight between Bai Nu and the emperor has been so fierce recently, how could she not be canonized?
Bei'er brought accurate information. It was indeed not Bai Ruolan. I heard that she was the Queen Mother's niece, named Zhongli Cuiwei.
When it came to Zhongli Cuiwei, Nuansi tried hard to search for the information in her mind, and finally got some impression, because before she was granted the title of queen, the Queen Mother had granted a marriage to a woman named Zhongli Caiwei to the border general Yu Guodong.
Academician Zhongli is the only cousin of the Queen Mother, so his status in the court is relatively prominent. After all, Zhongli has only one courtier in his family, and Zhongli has only two women under his authority. The eldest, Caiwei, is already married. ### is this Zhongli
Cui Wei, I heard that she is only fifteen this year, two years younger than the queen.
"What title is it given?" Nuansi asked after taking a sip of tea.
"His Majesty, she holds the position of Madam. I heard that the imperial edict has been sent to the Bachelor's Mansion and she has been granted the title of Madam Cuiwei." Beier answered.
Nuan Si raised her head and said, "Oh? Madam? The position of third lady? That is a big title? If I remember correctly, madam should be second only to the second concubine, right?"
Bei'er hurriedly said: "Exactly, the empress has a good memory. There is an imperial concubine under the empress, the second concubine below, and the third concubine below the second concubine. It is indeed a big title."
Bao'er heard that Nuan Si felt sad, so he comforted her and said, "Please be at ease, Madam."
Nuan Si smiled bitterly: "Yes, I know that now that the overall situation of the world has been decided, it is natural for the emperor to have a sufficient harem. Even if there is no Mrs. Cuiwei, there will be other women entering the palace, and I have already accepted my fate.
"
After hearing this, Bao'er and Bei'er looked at the Queen with distress. They understood how difficult it was for the playful Queen to say such words as resignation. She felt bitter in her heart, but she couldn't express it.
Nowadays, we should still be happy. In any case, the emperor has given the position of queen to Nuan Si. This is also a great favor. Otherwise, if he had no power and no background, he would be dead in such a terrible place as the harem.
live.
The next morning, Fengyi Hall
When Nuan Si paid greetings to the Queen Mother, she met Mrs. Cuiwei. She was indeed pretty, but Nuan Si always felt that this woman had no good temper because she felt a barbaric aura in her body.
"Cuiwei, this is the Queen, salute quickly." The Queen Mother introduced.
The woman was dressed in an emerald green gauze dress, with luxurious jewelry on her head, and her face was full of pride. When she heard the Queen's arrival, she was not in a hurry. Instead of saluting, she sat in front of the Queen Mother and said loudly: "In terms of seniority, I am also the Emperor's sister.
, Now in my family, the empress is the emperor’s sister-in-law, so she shouldn’t care about those etiquette things, right?”
Nuan Si secretly screamed: "Another vixen is here."
It was obvious that Zhongli Cuiwei's words were coquettish on the surface, but in fact she just didn't want to kneel down to the Queen, and pretended to be coquettish with the Queen Mother. If she was in trouble, she would definitely leave a narrow-minded impression in front of the Queen Mother.
But if she really follows her whim and refuses to be polite when meeting the queen, then what dignity will the queen have in the future?
Seeing the Empress Dowager looking at Zhongli Cuiwei kindly, Nuan Si understood that after all, her surname was Zhongli and the Empress Dowager were members of the same family, so she relied on the Empress Dowager to exert power over herself.
But she may not know that Nuan Si has never been afraid of the Queen Mother. In the past, it was because the Queen Mother was good to me, so there was no conflict at all. But when this situation comes, even if the Queen Mother is partial, Nuan Si will not show any concern at all.
Pay attention.
"Cuiwei, what you say makes sense. It would be fine if there is no canonization by the emperor. However, the emperor's imperial edict has been issued. You are now one of the three ladies and have been ranked in the harem. Together with the concubines, you are the emperor's concubines. If my sister can't do this today,
etiquette, then if the other sisters in the harem find out, will they blame me for protecting their shortcomings? Or are they exempt from these etiquette like you?" Nuan Si said neither humble nor overbearing, smiling throughout the whole process, without any sign of anger.
After saying this, as expected, Zhongli Cuiwei's face changed drastically. She did not expect that the little queen was so sharp-tongued and thoughtful that even the queen mother could not blame her.
The Queen Mother immediately complained: "The Queen's words are reasonable. The ancestral rules cannot be broken. The Queen must have prestige. Otherwise, how can we suppress the Sixth Palace, Cui Wei, and you are not polite?"
Zhongli Cuiwei looked gloomy, stood up, walked down, knelt down straight and knelt three times and kowtowed nine times: "I, my concubine, Zhongli Cuiwei, see the Queen, she is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
"Plain body."
"Thank you, Queen."
Seeing the reluctance on Zhongli Cuiwei's face, the Queen Mother was slightly embarrassed, but she didn't blame anything. After all, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Cuiwei was not only the emperor's concubine, but also her own niece. However, Nuan Si knew in her heart that this Zhongli Cuiwei was just a little bit
He is just a little clever, but his emotions and anger are too much influenced by his emotions. Such people will never achieve great things.
"Why don't you see the Emperor today?" The Queen Mother changed the subject in order to lighten the atmosphere.
The eunuch at the door reported tremblingly: "Back to the Queen Mother, the emperor has left the palace and gone to Prime Minister Bai's house."
Hearing this, Nuan Si's heart suddenly sank. It turned out that he was still addicted to Bai Ruolan's gentle hometown...
