Chapter 401: The Queen and the Concubine (1)
Looking at the four concubines sitting below, Yao Jiaxin was quite satisfied. Although Qi Meng did not express her opinion, she still decided that she could not stand on the side of the queen, which was enough.
Yao Jiaxin smiled slightly: The emperor took the Empress to the garden to recuperate. If we were to disturb the phoenix, it would be contrary to the emperor's will.
This is a magnificent saying, but the meaning is very rough: welcome a ball of yarn!
Yao Jiaxin changed her mind again: Naturally, if anyone wants to welcome Feng Jia, I will not stop her. - She means letting the concubines in the harem stand on their own.
Ningpin smiled: What the Imperial Concubine said was very good, the Empress was sick and lingering, so we should not go and disturb her.
Yupin Maopin also nodded in agreement.
Concubine Qi, who was sitting on the first chair on the right, spoke lightly: If the Empress passed the imperial edict and ordered the concubine to come and greet her, I wonder if the Imperial Concubine would go or not?
Yao Jiaxin still smiled. The imperial decree of the central palace, how could I not obey it? The empress was sick and she had to meet the concubines. She would naturally not go against her.
Concubine Qi curled her lips. She thought Concubine Tian could be so strong that she just didn't welcome the Queen Feng Jia.
Yao Jiaxin looked at Qipin and asked: Why, Qipin is planning to greet Feng Jia?
Concubine Qi's face was unhappy. Concubine was old and had a bad health. She was weak even if she was willing.
Yao Jiaxin complained: It would be strange if you are interested in the queen!
However, it would be better to reach an agreement with the four concubines and form a common front. As for the nobles below who often agreed, Yao Jiaxin didn't care.
Yao Jiaxin did not prepare a seat for the concubines below the nobles, so the Nian Guiren and Guo Guiren had to stand behind Ning Ping and stand with their hands down. Behind Qi Pingren, Li Changzai and An Changzai, and behind Yu Ping, Yun Changzai and Lan agreed.
Lan agreed to choose Yupin's Gaozhi, who had just moved to Yingshui Lanxiang a few days ago. Maopin was very dissatisfied with this, and Wan Fang'anhe's porcelain was really reimbursed a lot. Yao Jiaxin heard that there were several young and pretty little palace maids in Maopin's place. Tsk tsk, are you planning to learn from Ningpin and train newcomers?
Maopin's eyes stumbled back and forth on several young concubines below, but most of them were not young, or they were just plain-looking. Maopin's eyes finally fell on the bright and tall ones, with a shiny light in his eyes.
The Imperial Concubine! Concubine Mao suddenly spoke.
Yao Jiaxin originally planned to just leave like this, after all, so many noble people under her often agreed to stand still. She would be tired after standing for a long time in flower pots and shoes. She didn't want to set her authority on the concubines below. It seemed that she would have to prepare a few more chairs in the future.
Yao Jiaxin frowned and looked at Maopin. What else does Maopin want to say?
Concubine Mao raised a slightly flattering smile. The sisters in the palace said that there were not many more, and that was not small. Wan Fang'anhe of the concubine was very spacious, and it was really a bit extravagant to live with the concubine alone.
Who are you interested in? Lan promised to go to Yupin's place long ago.
Although Maobin is stupid and hypocritical, his advantage is that he is tactful - to put it bluntly, he is changing his power and turning red and white.
Yao Jiaxin said lightly: As long as you love and I will, I will rely on it. - Her meaning is very simple, you can't forcefully steal people!
Maopin smiled: I understand that the forced melon is not sweet.
Haha, who had always wanted to force Lan to agree? If Lan hadn't agreed to run fast, she would have been taken back to win favor by Maopin.
Maopin smiled and said, "I like it very much when I see that I often behaved dignifiedly."
Chang Zai, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but be slightly stunned. In this situation, Chang Zai was not qualified to interrupt, but unexpectedly, Maopin actually took the initiative to invite her to Wan Fang'anhe?
Maopin smiled and looked at Chang Zai: I wonder if Chang Zai is willing to go to this palace?
Chang Zai couldn't help but remain silent. If she refused in person, it would be too unfair to give Maopin face. Although Maopin was old and lost favor, he was the concubine's master after all, and his position was two levels higher than her! The emperor was always indifferent to the newcomer, and she didn't know if she was lucky enough to be able to get into the position of concubine! So she had thought about going to Yupin before, but unfortunately she was rejected by Yupin. Qipin was once hostile to the Xianfei, and Ningpin's palace had already had many concubines who could compete for favor. Faced with Maopin's invitation, it was often difficult to make a decision.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiang Maopin bent his knees: The Empress is a blessing for the maids and concubines, but this respect comes suddenly, and the maids and concubines are a little frightened for a moment. Can the Empress allow the maids and concubines to think about for a few days?
Concubine Mao acted as tolerant and generous. The imperial concubine was right. It was better to have your love and my will to do everything. It was necessary to think about it all while thinking about it.
That Changzai breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this Maopin was not too difficult to get along with. What's more, she was not the kind of cowardly person Lan promised to be slaughtered.
Concubine Qi couldn't help but laugh. As a man from Maopin's palace, the situation was really different. There were Concubine like this, and there were Chun's deposed into the dust. I wonder which one would always be?
Concubine Qi's words made Chang Zai's face pale. Who wouldn't know that Chun promised to murder the Virtuous Concubine and was therefore sentenced to death! How could she dare to be the best of the imperial concubine's current status?
Yao Jiaxin frowned and Liang Liang said: Didn’t Qipin say that she is old and has a bad health. Why is her mouth still so refreshing?
Concubine Qi choked, and she dared to confront people like Maopin, but now she must not be enemies with the imperial concubine. Concubine Qi smiled awkwardly, and the concubine was straightforward and asked the imperial concubine to forgive her.
Yao Jiaxin waved her hand, OK, if you ignore it, you can do it lightly.
Seeing this, the four concubines quickly got up, took the people in their palaces to salute each other, and then withdrew from Bitong Academy.
Outside the Bitong Academy, the sycamore trees are in full bloom and the autumn wind is swaying.
Nian Guiren couldn't help but feel chill all over, and he tightened his cloak on his body, with a little sadness in his eyes. In a blink of an eye, the Xian Concubine was already the noble concubine! And she was just a little nobleman under Ning Concubine!
Nian Guiren thought of the luxurious decorations in Bitong Academy Hall, and felt sour and jealous, and at the same time felt a strong sense of powerlessness. This was her first time entering Bitong Academy. She was careful, for fear that Concubine Tian would take the opportunity to make things difficult for Concubine Tian, but she didn't expect that Concubine Tian didn't even look at her from beginning to end!! It seemed that she, the noble lady, did not exist at all!
Yes, in the eyes of the imperial concubine, what is worth watching?
Nian Guiren felt bitter in his heart, and the queen was about to return to the palace. She originally hoped that the queen could suppress Yao Jia. After all, the queen was the emperor's first wife. The emperor also gave the queen's brother and deceased mother, and chose an auspicious day to take her back to the garden to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, the Empress Dowager promoted Yao Jia's biological mother and stepmother to the imperial concubine, and the Emperor promoted him to the imperial concubine! He also gave him the title of "Tian".
Why did the Emperor change the title of Yao Jia every time he promoted to her? This is unprecedented! Although the nobleman in Nian could not understand the holy intention, he also knew that this was favor.
