Chapter 264 New Master
Yan Chu couldn't help but smile, and then as she expected, he personally bent down and poured her a glass of wine.
He took just a sip and then moved it away, then drank it all in one gulp.
"emperor……"
Shen Zhishu was somewhat dissatisfied.
You enjoyed the drink, but what about me?
"Don't be greedy."
Having said that, he poured another glass.
Still give her a bite, and the rest is all hers.
"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many people in the harem, I don't know how lively it will be."
Shen Zhishu saw through his bad taste and stopped arguing. As long as there was wine to drink, it was fine.
She snuggled in his arms and spoke softly.
"The Queen has many new ideas. Why not ask her to hold a grand event? This is the first festival after you ascended the throne. It should be grand."
Yan Chu thought about it.
Indeed, this is her strong point, and if you give her more things to do, she will have no time to bother Shuer.
I agreed immediately.
Neither of them spoke up for the newcomer to the palace, and they just chatted idly about random things.
The next day.
Everyone in Lanfang Courtyard knew that the emperor did not turn over anyone's name card last night, but went to the virtuous concubine's.
"Isn't the queen pregnant? Why does the emperor like to go to her place so much?"
Some people were surprised, some were dissatisfied, and couldn't help but grumble.
After all, serving the emperor in bed means serving him well, but being pregnant is always inconvenient, so what else can you do?
No one said these words, but everyone understood them.
"Don't forget, except for the Empress, all the Emperor's women are in Kunning Palace. When he goes there, besides visiting Empress Xianfei, he also visits Concubine Shu and Concubine Yun."
Some people also said that if he went there, it would not necessarily mean that the favored concubine would be the virtuous concubine, because there were other concubines, right?
Everyone was talking about this matter, and most of them were indignant.
Last night, they thought there would be a newcomer who would be favored, and they were even secretly wondering who would be the first.
If you don't think, everything will be in vain.
Just at this time, Yunmeng came.
"The Emperor dotes on Consort Xian very much. Whenever he goes to Kunning Palace, he always stays at Consort Xian's place. There is no need for you to speculate on this."
As soon as she entered the room, she interrupted everyone's speculation.
After he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.
Then they all stood up and saluted.
"The Emperor is very busy and doesn't often go to the harem. You sisters don't have to be too disappointed. You have all just entered the palace and were personally selected by the Emperor. There will always be opportunities in the future."
Yun Meng smiled and comforted everyone. Her good attitude was like...
It was as if she was not the emperor's woman and she did not have any hostility towards these newcomers.
"I came here this time in the name of Her Majesty the Concubine, and I have something to give to everyone."
As she spoke, the maid behind her brought up a box.
There were purses inside, twenty-nine in total, which were distributed one by one.
The embroidery is extremely delicate and basically the same, with only some minor differences.
"Her Majesty said that we should take care of each other when we are in the palace together. If you have nothing to do, you can go to Kunning Palace to have tea with Her Majesty."
Everyone was in a daze.
After about a quarter of an hour, Yunmeng finished his work and left.
The young ladies were again filled with confusion.
"So, Her Majesty the Concubine is willing to befriend us?"
Someone raised doubts first.
"The Concubine Xian is gentle and virtuous. I heard that she treats the palace maids and eunuchs very well. She is a very kind person."
"From this perspective, Shu Changzai is also the virtuous concubine's person."
"I heard that the palace is now divided into two factions. The Empress is alone, and the Concubine is favored by the Emperor. Even the Empress Dowager is on her side. There are only two maids in the harem, and they are both in Kunning Palace..."
"Could it be that Her Majesty wants to win us over and isolate the Queen together?"
"They didn't get along when they were in the mansion. I heard that the Queen was ruthless and once tried to kill Concubine Xian herself. If it weren't for the Emperor stepping in to stop her, Concubine Xian wouldn't be alive today..."
"I also heard that the reason why the emperor went to Kunning Palace every day was because he was worried that the queen would harm the virtuous concubine again."
For a time, many speculations came out again.
Because of this small purse, people had different ideas.
In Jiaomu Palace, Su Rong also received the news quickly.
"She is so smart that she is trying to win over the concubines in the harem to squeeze me so quickly."
Su Rong sneered, her eyes full of contempt and disdain.
Are you qualified to fight her with such crude tricks?
"Your Highness, shouldn't we do something? Since we have arranged for someone to come in, we should take good care of her and help her gain the emperor's favor as soon as possible, so as to destroy the prestige of the virtuous concubine."
Qianyue also felt that it was time to take action.
"No matter what I do, Concubine Xian will oppose me. If that's the case, let her think her plan has succeeded. Go and inform our people to let her follow Concubine Xian first. If she wants to gain the emperor's favor, she has to go to Kunning Palace."
Su Rong smiled faintly, looking as if she was sure of victory.
But isn’t that what it is?
If you want to be favored, you have to go to Kunning Palace. After all, the emperor will only go there when he comes to the harem.
Most people know this.
So after receiving the purse, someone went to Kunning Palace that afternoon and brought valuable gifts to thank Concubine Xian for the reward.
For two consecutive days, Kunning Hall was very lively, and the threshold seemed to have been lowered.
Shen Zhishu responded one by one, gently and politely, to everyone.
But when she saw Yu Wen Qingwan coming, she was stunned.
On the day of the audition, she was not there, and neither was Yu Mingzhu.
But now, Yuwen Mingzhu appeared as the lady who kept the card, and Yuwen Qingwan became her personal maid.
The two of them arrived in the evening.
"Mingzhu pays respect to Her Majesty the Concubine. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
Yuwen Qingwan followed suit and bowed.
Shen Zhishu's mind was full of questions.
Aren't you Cui Zheng's fiancée? Why did you enter the palace? And as a maid?
She gave Mingzhu a seat while she was in a mess.
"Please forgive me, Madam. Mingzhu was ill a few days ago and only woke up yesterday. She looked very sick, so I dared to come to see you today."
this is an accident.
She was not there on the day of the draft.
She is not among the twenty-nine ladies, I'm afraid she is an exception.
So there are thirty ladies in the palace now.
A member of the Yuwen family.
The family that stands on King Shuo's side is now sending their daughter to the palace to participate in the election. Are they testing the emperor's attitude?
And the emperor just kept them here, meaning that he would no longer care about what the Yuwen family had done in the past?
Forget about Yuwen Mingzhu, but what about Yuwen Qingwan?
"You were frightened as soon as you entered the palace. I am sorry for wronging you."
She comforted Yu Mingmingzhu, but her eyes couldn't help but stay on Qingwan.
"Mingzhu is timid. Fortunately, the emperor is kind and not only did he not blame Mingzhu for her misbehavior, but he also kept Mingzhu and made her a concubine."
But Yu Mingzhu's next words instantly attracted her attention.
She blushed and looked up at Shen Zhishu shyly.
