Kunning Palace.

The cold incense slowly rose from the amphora beast incense burner, filled with the cold breath of the hall, and this woman was prostrate at the feet of the queen, the queen was dressed in a moire long dress with wide sleeves to modify her slender figure, and her hands were no longer delicate.

A majestic voice sounded: "Let this palace see." ”

The woman slowly raised her head, revealing a beautiful face, a pair of watery eyes with horror on a young and fair face. The queen smiled, pointed to her and said to the maid next to her, it was her. The maid helped her figure slightly, and quickly helped the woman up. Only then did the woman dare to look at the queen.

"From now on, you are my sister Shujia." The queen looked at her in ordinary clothes and said, "You are not familiar with the palace rules, I will find Aunt Lijiao to teach you, and when you can win the holy favor, the palace will make you a concubine and enjoy all the glory and wealth, I hope you will not disappoint your sister." ”

No matter how idiotic Shujia is, she can know what the queen will do next, and she understands that her fate will be in the hands of the queen in the future, and she must not be careless. Blessed body, retirement.

Although the palace is deep, the spread of news is indeed extremely fast, and before long, the palace concubines all know that the queen brought her sister Shujia into the palace to protect her position, after all, the imperial concubine has two sons, threatening her throne.

In the Chengqian Palace, the flowers are blooming, two women in fancy clothes are playing chess in the pavilion, one holds the white son and the other holds the black characters, the woman holding the white child smiled and put a chess piece on the chessboard, and proudly scolded the woman who held the black child: "Sister, you lost." ”

The woman holding the sunspot smiled: "Sister is cheating." At this moment, the maid beside her came to report: "Niangniang is auspicious, Jing Concubine is auspicious" The woman holding the white child stood up, stretched her waist, and asked the maid what was the matter.

The maid said: "The emperor has named the queen's sister as Yanshun, and now all palaces have sent gifts to the new Yanshun people, do you want to prepare one." ”

It's worth making a fuss about such a small thing. The imperial concubine said: "Look at sending her something, and send the Hetian jade ornament that the emperor rewarded last time to Yanshun people." When the maid left, Concubine Jing said, "I heard that the Yanshun person yesterday was just a waiter, why did he become a Shun person now." ”

The imperial concubine waved her hand: "Anyway, it's the emperor's little wife, you care too much." Let's go to the queen's and see what we might see. Concubine Jing waved her hand: "Sister go by herself, my sister is lazy and wants to go back to sleep for a while." After saying that, he also followed his maid away.

On the long palace road, the breeze blew and tickled on the face, and the imperial concubine saw a girl standing in front of her, wearing a pink palace dress, looking at the figure as if it was a little master, and went up to say hello: "What are you doing here." This woman is Yanshun people, she is looking at these trees that have just grown new shoots, thinking of her mother outside the palace, she is a little in a trance, seeing someone calling herself, she hurriedly turned around, and a gorgeously dressed concubine stood in front of her, although her facial features are not very exquisite, but she has a comfortable demeanor in it, presumably this is what the queen said about the imperial concubine.

Thinking of the queen's instructions, she blessed her body and said: "The concubine just came back from asking An to come back, and found that the trees in the imperial garden had already grown new shoots, so the concubine was very surprised and wanted to take a look. ”

The imperial concubine smiled: "It's just early spring, it's the cold time, sister don't wear too thin, although the tree has sprouted, but it's warm and cold at first, you still have to be careful, don't get into the body, the queen will be very distressed." ”

Yanshun blessed the body: "Thank you for your kindness." She didn't know the meaning of the imperial concubine's words, but at this time, she couldn't have the slightest intersection with the imperial concubine.

"Sister, go back to the palace early, it's cold, take care of your body." The imperial concubine went to the queen's bedroom, you must know that she came to say hello to the queen this time.

The queen was looking through the account books in the dormitory, and when she saw the imperial concubine coming to ask for peace, she was deeply puzzled, today is not the fifteenth day of the new year, what is she doing here. Court? With the temperament of the imperial concubine, she disdains to do these things.

After seeing the ceremony, the imperial concubine briefly greeted the queen's daily life, and then asked about the queen's Yanshun people, the queen modestly said that Shujia is still young, and her sister will take care of her in the future. The imperial concubine smiled and showed her jade teeth: "The queen is dignified and generous, the demeanor of the mother of the country, Yanshun is the sister of Niangniang, presumably Yanshun is also a knowledgeable person." ”

The queen smiled slightly: "In terms of knowledge and etiquette, who can compare to my sister, my sister has been like a saint for ten years, and she envies others." ”

The imperial concubine said: "Yanshun is young, she can give birth to a bunch of dolls for the emperor, look at her waist and hips, she will have many sons and blessings in the future." The queen listened to the words of the imperial concubine, and her face was also full of joy.

Waiting for the imperial concubine to leave, the queen took out a pair of cloisonné enamel bottles and handed them to the imperial concubine's palace maid to show her demeanor, and the imperial concubine accepted it with a smile.

The figure of the imperial concubine leaving, falling in the queen's eyes, is indeed dark and hazy. One day, you will crawl at my feet and never get up.

On this day, the sun was a little poisonous, the imperial concubine hid in the dormitory embroidering a handkerchief, and the concubine sat next to her and watched the imperial concubine fiddling with stitches and threads, I really didn't know that the imperial concubine still had embroidery skills. Concubine Jing can also embroider, but she is not as powerful as the imperial concubine, and she can embroider in various ways, such as this, and she will faint when she looks at it.

The imperial concubine quipped: "Do you want to study a place?" Jing Wanrong shook her head. At this moment, the palace maid came to say that the emperor was coming, and the two hurriedly prepared to take over.

The emperor came this time to tell the imperial concubine that there had been no heirs in the palace for many years, and this time Yanshun was pregnant. The imperial concubine said that she wanted to be promoted. The emperor waved his hand and said, "Let's wait until the child is born." ”

The emperor saw that Concubine Jing was also here, so he shared lunch with the two concubines. After lunch, the emperor went to greet the queen mother again.

The Queen Mother has always been in good health, and when the emperor stepped into Cining Palace, the Queen Mother was basking in the sun in the courtyard. The emperor asked the queen mother to say goodbye, the queen mother stood up, and the maids around her rubbed the queen mother's shoulders.

"Why did the emperor come here at this time?" The Queen Mother asked.

The emperor said: "Yanshun is pregnant, and I want to wait for her to give birth to the prince before canonizing." ”

The Queen Mother nodded: "The emperor will do it himself." ”

The emperor asked again: "Why did the queen mother let me canonize the queen's sister as a concubine?" ”

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Your Majesty, the power of the queen family has not been valued by the previous emperor since the previous dynasty, if the queen is given grace at this time, it will make the queen family loyal to the emperor, not to mention, the Lin family is rich in wealth and has more influence than the An family." ”

The emperor promised. But I can't think so in my heart, there are very few officials in the queen's family, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
