After discussing it properly, the two helpless women of the back court, after dressing up and dressing up, came to Li Zhi's bedroom, and sure enough, they saw Wu Mei, who was shy and timid, and her face was full of happiness. Of course, there is also the national teacher, who is happily talking with the two of them.

"Dead fox, I want to tear her to shreds!" Concubine Xiao Shufei tore her handkerchief angrily.

"It's just for the sake of muttering behind your back, don't let Your Majesty hear it."

Queen Wang is still used to wearing a shallow smile in public, as if from the heart.

"The concubine knocks on Your Majesty!"

"The concubine knocks on Your Majesty!"

Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei saluted together, and Wu Mei hurriedly stood up, "Wu Mei has seen the queen mother and the lady concubine." ”

"Yo, don't dare to do this!" Concubine Xiao Shupi said with a smile, and Queen Wang smiled: "My sister is polite, I heard that I am pregnant with a dragon fetus again, so don't move the fetus." ”

Yuan Ziyan couldn't help but smile, Queen Wang and Wu Mei's sisters are commensurate, and it seems that she has accepted her, but Wu Mei is older, she prefers to be called her sister, obviously wanting to highlight her position as the queen.

Wu Mei was not stupid, and hurriedly saluted again, saying: "If Wu Mei is not blessed by the queen's mother, she is still in Ganye Temple at this time, and she is very kind, and she will not dare to forget it for the rest of her life." ”

At the mention of this, Queen Wang finally showed a sincere smile, stepped forward, took Wu Mei's hand, and whispered: "Don't forget your oath." ”

Wu Mei's face changed sharply, she was in a hurry to enter the palace before, and she made an oath with her own child as a bet according to the queen's wishes, and now she knows how vicious the queen's scheming was at the beginning.

Wu Mei steadied her expression. Barely smiled, and replied: "Naturally remember, Niangniang and relax." ”

"That's good. That's good! Queen Wang sneered and patted Wu Mei's hand again, in fact, she wanted to strangle her to death.

Li Zhile saw that his daughters-in-law were united, beckoned the queen to sit down beside him, and said happily: "What is the reason why the queen and the concubine are here?" ”

"Your Majesty, my sister has such a good thing, and she is still hiding it with our sisters, is it possible that she is afraid that the concubine, who is the queen, will not allow her sister to succeed?" Queen Wang said in a coquettish voice.

"Why. Actually, I just found out. Li Zhi said with a smile and looked at Wu Mei's stomach again, and his happy mouth kept grinning.

Although Queen Wang was disdainful in her heart, she still said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, concubine." He also congratulated his sister for the royal family. Your Majesty, my sister Huaihong was frightened when she was a child, and she was criticized by the courtiers, which was very pitiful. The concubine thought. This time, I can't let my sister suffer these things again, it's better to give an official title, ordinary people are still like this, let alone Your Majesty? ”

In fact, this is also what Li Zhi planned just now, and when he heard the queen say this, he nodded excitedly, "Don't hide it from the queen, in fact, I want to discuss this matter with you." ”

"In the end, it is the original couple. It's easy to understand the heart. Concubine Xiao Shufei giggled, meaning beyond words. Wu Mei is a concubine after all.

"In the queen's opinion, what title is appropriate for Wu Mei?" Li Zhi asked a little impatiently.

"Of course, I can't treat my sister badly, this court has a strict hierarchy, and most of the people who first enter the palace are eighty-one royal wives, but my sister is different, she was a talented person of the first emperor before, and she was one of the twenty-seventh women, and now she gave birth to a royal son for Your Majesty, so naturally she can't be low." Queen Wang still couldn't hold her breath in the end, and there was still some irony in her words.

Sure enough, Li Zhi was a little displeased, and reminded: "Although Wu Mei is a talented person from her father, as we all know, she has not been favored by her father, and people outside the palace chew their tongues, as for the palace, I don't want to hear gossip anymore." ”

"Yes, yes, the concubine lost her words, and she also rectified the back court and stopped mentioning the past." Queen Wang hurriedly knelt down.

Roughly talking about the concubine rank of the Tang Dynasty, four concubines and nine concubines, each with a title, followed by nine Jieyu, nine beauties, nine talents, and then Baolin, the royal maid, and the twenty-seven women each, all of which have titles.

"Your Majesty, in fact, what the queen mother said is right, it's just that Bollywood can't help herself, but since God has this arrangement, she is not afraid of others talking." Wu Mei excused the queen.

Empress Xiao snorted coldly, feeling that Wu Mei was hypocritical, and her skin was super thick-skinned, and ordinary chaste women heard such discussions, and jumped into the river in shame, just like the biological mother of Princess Gaoyang, and the woman who was also the brother of the first emperor, she didn't give the first emperor a good look in her life, and finally died of loneliness and old age in the cold palace, but such a woman can be respected.

"I don't blame you, get up and speak." Li Zhi said with a sigh.

Queen Wang Xie got up and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that only Jieyu is worthy of her sister. ”

"Yes, if it's just a beauty, it's really wronged Wu Mei." Concubine Xiao Shufei was also unwilling to say a word.

Li Zhi didn't speak, and secretly sighed in his heart that women were stingy, and after discussing for so long, the final shot was still not generous enough. So he turned his head to look at Yuan Ziyan and asked, "Does the stepmother think it can be made?" ”

Yuan Ziyan glanced at Wu Mei, only to see that her eyebrows were flying, and she must have blossomed in her heart, Jieyu already belonged to the fourth grade, which she had never dreamed of before, and she would inevitably secretly rejoice.

Silly girl, where is this, Yuan Ziyan was very funny, and said, "Of course it's not appropriate." ”

Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were stunned for a moment, and Queen Wang asked with a cold face unwillingly: "National Teacher, then what do you think is appropriate?" ”

"There are not many women in Your Majesty's court, and there are even fewer who have children, there are still vacancies in the position of nine concubines, Wu Mei has a son, and at this time she is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and she is well-behaved, docile and humble, and should enter the concubine position." Yuan Ziyan said.

Wu Mei couldn't believe her ears, and before she could react, Queen Wang immediately raised an objection and said: "The national teacher doesn't know, there are still two vacancies in the nine concubines, Chongyuan and Jieyu are just a first-order difference, and then reward the divination after the birth of Lin'er, otherwise the court will complain that His Majesty intends to favor Wu Mei." ”

"Besides, Wu Mei's background also needs to be studied, and her father was just a tree seller at first, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance." Concubine Xiao Shufei also immediately added.

"Ying Guogong is a close friend of Gaozu and a hero of the Tang Dynasty, he can enter and exit Gaozu's Da'an Palace, is he just a small trader in your eyes? Are you mocking Emperor Gaozu's choice of friends? Yuan Ziyan's face immediately turned cold.

Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei immediately panicked, this hat was buttoned too much, and Yuan Ziyan said again: "Wu Mei's biological mother Yang is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and when she married Ying Guogong, Gaozu held a wedding for her with treasury money, and it was Princess Guiyang who handled all this. ”

Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were both wilted, and Li Zhi happily asked, "With the meaning of the righteous mother, what should I do?" ”

"Queen Shicai said that there are two vacancies, which one is the other one?" Yuan Ziyan did not answer the rhetorical question.

"It's the head of the nine concubines, Zhaoyi." Queen Wang said unwillingly, and also guessed Yuan Ziyan's thoughts.

"It's a pity, the positions of the four concubines are all complete." Unexpectedly, Li Zhi was not particularly satisfied with Zhaoyi, and always felt that he had treated his most beloved woman badly.

"Congratulations to Wu Zhaoyi, congratulations to Wu Zhaoyi!"

The people in the palace were all knowledgeable, and when they saw this, they hurriedly bowed down and saluted, which made Wu Mei stunned for a while, and she didn't know what to do.

"Your Majesty, since the title has been decided, you should also choose a dormitory for Wu Zhaoyi, and you can't keep squeezing in the small Menglanxuan with the national teacher." Queen Wang said with a blushing face.

"Thank you Queen, but Wu Mei is used to living with her stepmother, but she is not suitable elsewhere." Wu Mei smiled and declined.

"Wu Zhaoyi's words are wrong, you are also a mother, and your stepmother is very hardworking, how can you disturb the cleanliness with two children?" Concubine Xiao Shu was dissatisfied, she gave birth to three children, and she finally fought for the position of a concubine with all her strength, and Wu Mei was silent, she was one order behind herself, how could she be happy?

"That's right, but my stepmother and I need to take care of it, so let's clean up a few houses in the side hall of the Ganlu Hall for the time being, so that I can help me take care of some affairs at any time." Li Zhi glanced at Wu Mei affectionately.

Wu Mei was so moved that she almost shed tears, marrying such a man, what more could a husband ask for.

"Your Majesty, no!" Concubine Xiao Shufei shouted almost at the same time as the queen, and the queen knelt down solemnly: "The Ganlu Hall is more than Your Majesty's bedroom, and the women of the back court are not allowed to stay unless they are servants, although Your Majesty loves Wu Mei, you must not spoil the ancestral system for it!" ”

"Your Majesty, there are many women who give birth to children in the back court, if they can all stay in the Manna Palace, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public!" Concubine Xiao Shufei snorted angrily, of course, what she hinted at was herself, in terms of the number of children, she had one more than Wu Mei, and she had never seen the emperor so crazy for her.

"Zhi'er, what nonsense. And the two of you, don't fight, it's really a waste for me to live alone in Menglanxuan, and it also takes a lot of silver taels to build a palace in the back court, so it shouldn't be wasted. Let's let Wu Mei follow me, and at the same time, if His Majesty has a call, it will also be convenient to come and go. Yuan Ziyan said involuntarily.

"I followed the national teacher!" Queen Wang immediately said, Concubine Xiao Shu sighed secretly, this queen, it still seems a little naïve to do things, it is not necessary that Wu Mei has to live in Menglanxuan when she leaves the Ganlu Palace, there are many ready-made in the palace, and there are many people who are close to the emperor and the national teacher, why did she forget the things discussed before, and agreed in a hurry.

In the end, the dust settled, and after Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shufei withdrew, their faces were ugly, and they had never lost so ugly.

"Sister, I don't know if you noticed, Wu Mei is the daughter of a merchant, Feng Zhaoyi is so happy that she is about to laugh out loud, it's a shame!" Concubine Xiao Shufei did not forget to be vicious and sarcastic.

Queen Wang didn't squeak, Wu Mei came to the bitter end, naturally she was a lot of emotion and moved. But if you want to say the most superficial, it has to be Concubine Xiao Shu, it is not an exaggeration to say that those who serve her can prove that after the concubine, Concubine Xiao Shufei laughed for three days and three nights, her mouth was numb with laughter, and she couldn't swallow water, and now she turned around and laughed at others.
