Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has never chosen his concubines in a big way, because most of them are the daughters of important ministers who were recruited into the palace. For example, tonight's concubine lost power, Xue Concubine was not favored for unknown reasons, Zhongli Cuiwei was overly pampered, and Qiu Guifei was in poor health.
, the little queen and the emperor were also extremely cold, so in the court, the courtiers talked about the show, but the emperor did not deny it.
Xiluan Hall
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Household Affairs would like to see you." Bao'er said softly.
Nuan Si, who was taking a nap, opened his eyes slightly, with a puzzled look on his face: "What does the Minister of Tobe want to do with me?"
"It is said that the selection of the show girls was handled by the Minister of Household Affairs. He came to the empress probably to report the progress of the selection. After all, the empress is the lord of the Sixth Palace." Bao'er said analytically.
"Let him come in." Nuansi stood up, straightened her clothes, walked into the front hall and sat on the toffee chair.
"I see the Queen, she is a thousand years old, a thousand years old." The voice of the Minister of Household Affairs was clear and loud.
"Thank you, empress." The minister of household affairs was extremely humble.
"Well? Ai Xiucai? When did you take the position of Minister of Household Affairs?" Nuan Si was really surprised after seeing the person clearly.
"Back to your Majesty, the last time I went to the Marquis's Mansion to redress my grievances, I happened to meet the Emperor. The matter of the examination was thoroughly investigated, and I successfully got back the second place. Thanks to the Emperor for not giving up and promoting me, and also thanks to my Majesty's support at Yan Zhonghou.
Recommended by someone in front of me, I was lucky enough to be appointed as the Minister of Household Affairs." Mr. Ai slowly told the story of becoming an official, and he was extremely grateful to the little queen in his heart.
Yan Yu is a person who doesn't show off or ask for credit. He told him that the Queen recommended him, so he has always been grateful.
"It's a simple task, Master Ai. Don't worry about it. From now on, you just need to serve the court well."
"I sincerely obey the teachings of the empress." Mr. Ai met the queen only a few times, but he had different feelings every time. He still vaguely remembered that the little queen solved the riddle when they first met at the gate of Bailianju.
He was so impressed that he saw the little empress in Prince Ning's Mansion making love to the emperor, which made him envious. When he saw the little empress this time, he was shocked by her majesty. He was amazed every time he saw her.
There are all surprises.
Mr. Ai is not a lustful person, and he doesn't bother to take a second look at such a beautiful woman, but facing the little queen, he always has the desire to see her, and maybe there is always a trace of fantasy in his heart...
Looking at the beautiful little queen sitting on the wind chair, her childish face, her unsmiling maternal demeanor, and her innate nobility, every bit of it is something that no other woman has ever had, or is even far away from...
God never creates perfect people, but why did he only make her so perfect?
Master Ai didn't dare to look directly at the little queen. He was afraid that he would lose his mind, so he had to bury his head low...
"Master Ai, what do you want to do with me?" Nuan Si's voice was filled with a hint of exhaustion.
Hearing the voice, Mr. Ai was startled. After a while, he came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "In response to my words, I am here to tell you about the draft."
"Okay, I'm all ears." Nuan Si smiled disdainfully. Now that she felt she had lost him, how could she care about his draft?
Master Ai bowed and bowed, took out the scroll in his hand and read: "There were originally three hundred people selected this time. After many layers of selection, only ten people were left. I have sent them to Fangze Palace according to the emperor's instructions."
"Yeah, okay." Nuan Si responded without saying anything.
Master Ai couldn't help but raise his head and asked: "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Nuan Si was stunned: "Master Ai, what do you think I should be asking?"
Master Ai lowered his head in embarrassment and said with his hands, "Why don't you ask me if there are any outstanding girls in this show?"
Nuan Si chuckled: "Master Ai, you are so interesting. You have to teach me whatever I want to say."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Ai hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I didn't mean to offend you."
Nuansi waved her hand: "I understand, please get up. You don't have to be so formal. I really admire you in Bailianju and you in the Marquis's Mansion."
As soon as I heard that the Queen admired me, I started to feel excited inexplicably. Why is the Queen's words more valuable than the Emperor's reward of hundreds of acres of fertile land?
I was stunned when I suddenly heard Nuan Si say: "Then I will follow what Master Ai said and ask if there is any outstanding woman who stands out among the beautiful women this time."
"Back to the empress, there is a girl named Zhao Biru. She has a prominent family background. She is the granddaughter of Zhao Deyong, the grand master of the Three Lords." Mr. Ai answered respectfully.
Nuan Si stroked her temple with her right hand and said, "Oh? The Grand Master's granddaughter, her family background is indeed very prominent. How about Ms. Zhao herself?"
"Going back to your Majesty, Miss Zhao is good-looking. She doesn't wear makeup, but her grace is still the same. The Emperor also treats her differently from other women and placed her in a separate courtyard."
"Well, with such a stunning beauty, the emperor will not be unmoved. It seems that the day of canonization is very close." Nuan Si said with a complicated expression.
Mr. Ai happened to raise his head and did not miss the sadness in the Queen's eyes, so he comforted him in his heart: "Even if your Majesty has thousands of concubines, you will always be the best."
"Master Ai, how do you say this?"
"The emperor has given the most honorable position to the empress, and her majestic appearance is like that of a fairy, which is unmatched by ordinary women." Mr. Ai didn't know what was going on, and said a lot of flattery as if he was possessed.
Nuan Si's lips raised slightly: "After Mr. Ai entered the palace, his mouth became sweeter and he became able to flatter others."
"My Majesty, I have learned from you that all the ministers who belong to me break my promises." Mr. Ai's face was solemn.
Nuan Si smiled: "Okay, okay, I'm just scaring you. Since I already know about the show, Master Ai, please step aside."
Looking at the smiling face of the woman in front of him, Mr. Ai felt as if he was in a dream. Is this smile really for him?
"Master Ai?" Nuan Si shouted again, raising his voice.
"Oh, okay, I'll take my leave then."
As soon as Mr. Ai left the palace gate, Bao'er began to complain: "This Mr. Ai is so lost in sight."
Hearing warm thoughts makes me smile without saying a word...
When I think of Ai Xiucai, I think of Bailianju, and then I think of Bai Meiren...
Bai Meiren, I wonder where he is now? Nuansi sighed deeply.
"Your Majesty, should we go to Fangze Palace to visit the new show girl?" Beier said softly.
"Well, let's go. I should also go and see them."
As soon as they approached Fangze Palace, laughter could be heard. A woman in a green dress was swinging on a swing, and a palace maid behind her was pushing the swing. It looked like a comfortable picture of a beautiful woman on a swing...
"Nuan Si and Bei'er walked in slowly not far away. Nuan Si felt quite emotional. When he first entered the palace, he was as pure and carefree as this woman. But now things have changed.
Rest...
"Who is it?" The palace maid heard the footsteps, turned around, and saw the master and servant Nuansi.
Nuan Si is not wearing a phoenix crown today, just a light pink gauze...
"How outrageous. How dare you, a mere slave, ask this question?" Belle complained.
The palace maid was shocked. She was obviously new here, otherwise she would not know the master of the harem...
The woman sitting on the swing stood up and looked at Nuan Si unfriendlyly: "Who are you? Do you know who I am?"
Nuan Si smiled disdainfully: "Then I might as well ask who you are?"
The woman raised her head and said proudly: "I am Song Ruyi, the daughter of Mr. Song, the Minister of Civil Affairs."
"Oh, it turns out she is the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs." Nuan Si nodded and said.
"What? Are you scared? If you are scared, apologize immediately and I will forgive your rudeness just now." The woman said with a pampering look.
"Apologise, why?" Nuan Si raised his eyebrows lightly.
Before Song Ruyi could speak, Gong E beside her rushed to say: "Master Song is a new show girl. There are more than 300 people in this draft, and only ten are left. My little master is one of them." After saying this, Gong E said.
Still complacent.
"What else?" Nuan Si said with a smile, as if she hadn't heard such a joke for a long time.
"Also, the emperor just favored me last night. The day of my promotion is coming soon. By then it will be too late for you to apologize." Song Ruyi said shyly and a little annoyed.
Nuan Si sighed and said: "Let me tell you a truth, the most indispensable thing in the palace is people with strong family backgrounds, and you, the daughter of a small official minister, have the nerve to say that, I really don't know if it's your sorrow or the minister's.
The sadness."
"You..." Song Ruyi was so angry that she couldn't speak.
"Qiu Ju, come to the emperor, I want to teach this woman a lesson." Song Ruyi finally became angry with embarrassment.
"Yes." The palace lady beside him responded.
"Wait." Nuan Si shouted.
"Huh, what? Are you scared?" Song Ruyi said arrogantly.
Nuan Si smiled disdainfully: "I'm new here, and I don't understand the rules. The emperor is in the imperial study room reviewing memorials at this time every day. He refuses to see guests. If you go there, it will be in vain. You will bring humiliation to yourself."
"What?" Song Ruyi's head banged and she said angrily: "How do you know?"
Nuansi looked directly at her and said word by word: "You still don't know who I am? Aren't you curious?"
Only then did Song Ruyi remember that she had indeed not been asked about her identity. There was only one kind of woman who could appear in the palace without wearing maid service, and that was the emperor's woman.
Seeing Nuansi dressed plainly, Song Ruyi boldly asked, "Which female official are you?"
Nuan Si smiled: "Female officer? You actually treat me as a female officer?"
Song Ruyi's face began to turn pale when she heard Nuan Si calling herself her own concubine. In the palace, only the third lady or above could call herself her own concubine. Even the concubines considered themselves concubines. So who is this person in front of her...?
"You...who are you?" Song Ruyi started to get scared.
"What? Now I know I'm afraid. If you apologize now, I might consider letting you live." Nuan Si looked at her with deep meaning.
At some point, more and more people were watching the fun. Except for the famous Zhao Biru, all the beautiful ladies who entered the palace arrived. When they saw Song Ruyi quarreling with others, they all came to watch. Song Ruyi made them jealous.
hatred.
I don’t know what kind of bad luck this girl got. She was really favored by the emperor last night. She is not the most outstanding in appearance, nor is she the best in talent. But just because she met the emperor last night, first of all, she was not the best.
She was careful to say "long live" instead of "thousand years old", so she was scared to death and thought she was dead. But the strangest thing was that the emperor not only punished her, but also favored her at night, which was really incredible.
I'm afraid only insiders know the whole story. Who accidentally said "long live" instead of "thousand years old" when entering the palace, and then plausibly got through it and was appreciated by the late emperor?
I'm afraid not many people in the palace remember this matter. After all, it has been a long time, but Mo Yu Wuhuan knows all this best...
Seeing many beautiful ladies around her, Song Ruyi couldn't get off the stage, so she naturally refused to apologize. She held out a glimmer of hope that the emperor's visit to her last night was because he really liked her...
I hope that I can become a concubine with status like Snow Concubine...
But she was wrong. Who said that people should never think too highly of themselves, otherwise they will be shattered into pieces when they fall...
"Song Ruyi, I am giving you a chance." Nuan Si looked at her seriously.
"Needless to say, I want to see the emperor, and I will wait for the emperor to make the decision for me." Song Ruyi gritted her teeth and held on.
Nuan Si stared at her for a few seconds and shouted loudly: "Here comes someone."
"The slaves are here." A group of royal guards came over at some point.
"The beautiful girl Song Ruyi offended the queen and did not understand etiquette. She pulled down twenty boards and warned the harem." Nuan Si's tone was extremely majestic, which made people feel a bit oppressive...
"What? Queen?" All the ladies in the audience, including Song Ruyi, took a breath.
"The Emperor has arrived." At this moment, the eunuch's sharp voice broke the solemn atmosphere.
