Chapter Two Hundred and Ninety Eight

Concubine De also glanced casually, and said: "Ancestors rule that non-ceremonial employment into the palace starts with picking girls, but they have served His Majesty for a while. Some of them are pregnant, why not be taller? "

Gu Zhen said "hmm" and asked the others, "What do you think?"

Only at this time did Yun Fenghuang answer: "It's all done."

Seeing her open her mouth, the other concubines also followed, all expressing their approval, with expressions and tone of indifference.

Below, Xu Xuxin and the others knelt upright according to the rules, and nodded slightly to show respect. They couldn't see the specific situation, but they could feel their indifference and indifference from their tone. This was the first time since they entered the palace. When encountering such an occasion, even the most calm person can't help showing a little hesitation.

Speaking of which, these ten people were also spoiled by the imperial attendants.

The people who serve the emperor are all carefully selected. This is not enough. After all, the moon is the first to be close to the water. Who doesn't want to be able to serve the emperor? Especially since Chunjia is still so young and looks strong, she is not the kind who needs them to find a new family after two years. Even if he was lucky enough to be picked at the beginning, he had no ability and was pushed out early in the morning.

These people serve the imperial court, they are the best at concealing their thoughts, and they usually do things well, and they are all slick.

After all, it's hard for anyone to tell the ups and downs in the palace ban.

When Chunjia was suppressed by the Ji family, who would have thought how long he would have? Thinking back to when Yun Fenghuang first entered the palace, who would have thought that such a master who had no family background and was not second-to-none in terms of beauty would skyrocket and is still deeply favored?

This kind of example has been seen and heard by the imperial servants too much, so unless it is necessary, they will not rashly offend anyone, even if they are of low status.

The most important thing is that if they offend, they won't play tricks in the open to let people find out...

Therefore, Xu Xuxin was a little trembling when the ten talents came, but later found that both the emperor and the imperial servants were extremely gentle and considerate to them, and they became delicate without knowing it.

At this moment, the empresses and concubines are chatting leisurely about their placement, such as discussing "Where to put these potted flowers", "Just put them casually", "It's nothing important anyway", where can there be no gap?

Especially in the middle, the newly promoted Concubine Shao said: "It's all right, but can the empress be quicker? When this one came out today, the fourth imperial daughter was holding on to the concubine's skirt and refused to let it go. The concubine comforted her for a long time, and then she Reluctantly letting go. The concubine is afraid that it will be too late to go back, and the fourth princess is afraid that she will stop crying!"

The concubines all laughed, and the queen asked with concern: "The fourth imperial daughter is so attached to you now? This is really a good thing!"

"Isn't it?" Yun Fenghuang took a sip of tea and said slowly, "This is also the concubine Shao's life in exchange for it. Back then, when I heard that the fourth emperor was not good, I ate it myself." Surprised, I heard that she went to take care of the fourth princess in person regardless of life and death. At that time, I was still annoyed for a long time, and felt that she didn't know the severity..."

"Elder sister still has the nerve to talk about Concubine Shao!" Concubine De covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Didn't you make a fuss about taking care of yourself when King Jin was with His Highness King Qin? I have figured out any way!"

So the concubines, as if they had forgotten that Xu Xuxin and others were waiting, chatted and laughed like no one else, until Xu Xuxin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his whole body was on the verge of collapse. Why don't we deal with them first? Otherwise, Concubine Shao is in a hurry to leave, and we still have something to tell the empress."

Then the queen said: "Then give them a Yuwan."

Someone reminded: "Your Majesty, there is someone who is already married."

"Then Fengyi... No, Fengyi seems to be a little lower than Yuwan?" Gu Zhen asked, "What's on top of Yuwan?"

"Chenggui? Talented? Baolin?" The noble concubine and the others looked at each other, expressing that they didn't remember clearly. After all, they saw all the concubines below Jieyu, so how could they remember so much?

In the end, a concubine stood up and timidly reminded her, and the queen said, "Then be Baolin."

The last thing is to arrange the residence, Gu Zhen didn't want to worry about it at all, and asked the concubines directly: "You see if there is still room in your palace, so you can take the two of you there?"

Hearing this, the faces of the Xu sisters changed slightly.

This situation made the concubines laugh for a while, why? Afraid that the main position will steal the child?

The point is, a son from a poor family and a good family still wants to be a concubine as soon as he enters the palace?

Yun Fenghuang became so legendary, he also started from Baolin back then, okay?

It doesn't matter if the place where they live has a host or not, it's not up to them to raise them anyway!

"Your Majesty, you know that there are not many vacancies in the concubine's palace. It is really too much to add." Yun Fenghuang took the lead in expressing his opinion, and then the new concubines Cui Lianye, Concubine De, Concubine Shao and others all shook their heads. , the kind that doesn't want newcomers at all.

On the contrary, Concubine Xian and Concubine Mu hesitated for a while, and asked for someone respectively.

Among them, Concubine Xian wanted Gong Caisun, while Concubine Mu wanted Xu Xuxin.

The empresses and concubines could see their intentions clearly. Concubine Xian entered the palace late and was young. She had lost two children before, so the emperor rarely went to her place. If Gong Caisun is wanted, it is probably because Chunjia wants to go. More often, try to see if you can conceive by yourself?

As for Concubine Mu, she just wanted to take advantage of it.

His own child was gone before landing, and he had a falling out with the queen's cousin, and fell out of favor. No matter how innocent a person is, he has to be realistic. No, I feel that it is impossible to get the emperor's blessing and have an heir in a short time, now that Xu Xuxin is pregnant and brought back to his palace, the child was born for her.

Concubine Mu was very nervous when she spoke, but fortunately the empress was soft-hearted. Although she didn't give her any more winks, she didn't intend to stop her either.

Xu Xu believed in himself, after hesitating for a while, he didn't kowtow to thank the concubine immediately like Gong Caisun, and walked behind the concubine Xian, but said in a low voice: "I have admired the concubine for a long time!"

This made Yun Fenghuang a little dumbfounded, why? If you don't look for trouble, why did you take the initiative to find this matter?

In the past, she might still stir up some wind and rain, but now, she only said lazily: "What I said just now is clear, there are too many people in Xuanqing Palace, and we can't stay here anymore."

"...Yes." A snicker came from behind Xu Xuxin, it sounded like Wen Mingcui, her face turned pale in an instant, without saying anything, she kowtowed to Concubine Mu who had a gloomy expression, then stood up, and walked to her carefully behind.

There were eight people left, but no one spoke for a moment. The queen showed a headache, turned her head to her valet and said, "Look at which palace is more empty, let them live together. How many things have happened in the palace in the past six months, This palace is very tired now, and I really don't have the energy to make more arrangements for them."

Before the attendant could speak, he didn't want anyone, but said lightly: "My place is very empty, let them all go to my place!"

It was said that the eight newcomers hadn't made much progress yet, but the concubines all showed strange expressions.

Even the queen who just said "I just want to send you away casually", couldn't help coughing dryly, and said, "Concubine An, don't be joking."

"Isn't it possible?" Concubine An sat on the seat with a cold expression, not caring about the eyes looking from all directions, and said lightly, "Is the Huzhu Palace not empty? Your empress just said, find an empty palace for them to live together, Is the Dendrobium Pearl Palace just right for you? Or does the empress think that I am inferior and wronged the newcomers?"

Gu Zhen said with some embarrassment: "Don't talk nonsense, you are a dignified concubine, how can these newcomers compare with you? It's just...you have been clean for two years, and you suddenly go to so many people, will you not get used to it? "

In fact, she didn't care about the life and death of these newcomers, especially the pregnant Xu Xuxin was asked to leave by Concubine Mu, and the emperor didn't care about the remaining eight, so she didn't care either.

The key is that Concubine An's concubine killer's record is too brilliant.

For so many years, among the concubines assigned to her, except for one Yun Fenghuang, none of them could die well.

Basically, the more you please the emperor, the faster you will die.

If you don't please the emperor, you won't be slow to die... After all, in the eyes of Yuan Niangniang, anyone who becomes the emperor's concubine is robbing her of Xiangji and deserves to die! ! !

As for whether the concubine took the initiative, was happy or was involuntary, I'm sorry, Yuan Niangniang didn't care.

Everyone does not welcome this group of newcomers. If they disappear one after another after entering the palace, it is assumed that their fate is not good.

Anyway, it wasn't her fault.

The point is, they went to Huzhu Palace, and Concubine An took care of them, this...

It was spread out, but it was not intended for the queen, who wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone.

It seems that her Zhonggong is too intolerant.

"It's the so-called quietness and want to move." The queen hoped that Concubine An would stop making trouble, but Concubine An would not, "Because there has been no movement in my place for the past two years, as if there were dead people, I want these newcomers to go over and have a lot of fun."

Gu Zhen had a headache, and subconsciously looked at Yun Fenghuang.

Yun Fenghuang thought for a while, and said: "You also said, Concubine An, that your place was very quiet before. Now even if you are very quiet and want to move, it is too lively all of a sudden. You can bear it? Why don't you take it step by step and arrange it first?" Three or two people will go to accompany you. If you feel that you still want to be more lively later, I will add more people to you."

Let the Qing people, "Ask the newcomers below, who is willing to serve Concubine An?"

In the morning, her beauty paled!

Although it was said that Yuan Niangniang monopolized the emperor's heart several years ago, the eldest son of the emperor is only seven years old, and the rumor that the Dendrobium and Pearl Palace is the dragon's lake and the tiger's lair for concubines from a poor family has not disappeared.

They have been in the palace for a few months, no matter how ignorant they are, they have heard some rumors... If Yuan Niangniang still has to be pampered at this moment, in fact, the palace people at Taichu Palace would not have said so much to them.

But because Yuan Niangniang has fallen out of favor and is at odds with Yun Fenghuang, who is in favor, even the Empress Dowager Yuan, who is backed by her, has left Fuyang County, so the people below naturally don't have much taboo about it.

So the newcomers have all heard of Yuan Niangniang's swiftness in cleaning up the concubines, and now they all avoid the Huzhu Palace!

Among them, Wen Mingcui reacted the fastest, and immediately threw herself down and said, "I'm dull and clumsy, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve Concubine An!"

Wen Shijiang was startled, then kowtowed: "Concubine...so is concubine!"

The others were a step slower, but they immediately scrambled to express that they were not qualified to serve the honorable Concubine An!

Now, the concubines looked at Concubine An more subtly.

This year is the fourteenth year of Chunjia, seven years have passed, and the name of Concubine An is still so popular, this is really...

Concubine An's face was sullen, ignoring the refusals of the newcomers below, she looked sideways at the empress and concubine in turn, and said slowly: "I want these eight people to go to Huzhu Palace, what do you think?"
