The emperor made King Ling the emperor's younger brother, and this major event not only alarmed the inner house in Kyoto, but also set off a storm in the court. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

No one thought that the mediocre emperor would be so confused that the supreme throne was not intended to be left to his son, but to his younger brother, and it was actually King Ling, who had always looked down on him!

Ministers of the court, which one is not an old fox?

For so many years, the emperor's suppression and embarrassment of Prince Ling have also been seen in their eyes, even if King Ling now has a heavy army in his hands and cannot be easily offended, but in fact, the ministers who are willing to befriend him can be counted on one hand.

There is no other reason, just because all those courtiers who are friendly with King Ling are either demoted to official positions and released outside of Kyoto, or they are exterminated on various trumped-up charges, even if many of them are wronged, but under the order of the emperor, who dares to care whether these ministers who are good friends with King Ling are wronged?

In the end, look at the fate of those high-ranking officials and vassal kings who have threatened the emperor's power over the past generations, it is not difficult to guess what kind of ending this young King Ling will have.

But before these people who were watching the excitement could react, the emperor, who had always been aimed at Ling Wangye, actually gave up the position of the prince to him, which really frightened these people.

For a while, the Ling Wangfu, which had always been deserted, was unprecedentedly lively.

There were even some well-informed courtiers and wives who learned that Prince Ling did not like to live in the palace. Every time he returned to Kyoto, he lived in the annex under his name, and he prepared a lot of valuable gifts and came to visit him.

It stands to reason that now Yi Qinglan does not have a concubine, so the matter of entertaining the ladies and daughters of the courtiers should fall on the concubine Qin, but who knows that Yi Qinglan personally ordered that Shen Niannian be the hostess to entertain the guests who came to visit.

"Niangniang, the prince is really too much, why let such a woman who came out of nowhere entertain those ladies and ladies for you. Isn't that sincere to embarrass you? ”。

Concubine Qin's henchmen were full of unwillingness.

"But she's just a girl who grew up in the countryside. What is the ability to fascinate the prince? ”

Concubine Qin's face was gloomy and terrifying, if she had been in the position of Concubine Ling before, it would have been ignored by Yi Qinglan. Anyway, my aunt once said that that person would not end well in the future. All she had to do was monitor the man's movements. Waiting for King Ling to die in the future, she can also get out by faking her death and enter the palace to serve her cousin.

Yes. Before Yi Qinglan returned to Beijing, it didn't matter to her whether King Ling cared about her or not.

But when she saw the legendary and famous Ling Wangye, Concubine Qin found that she really fell in love with him at first sight.

At least look, it's much stronger than the flowery and cowardly cousin in the palace.

Therefore, naturally I also had the intention of seducing.

But who would have thought that person was cold to everyone, but he was only tender to the woman who lived in the East Courtyard, how could she not be jealous?

Her aunt is the most noble woman in the Dongyi Dynasty, and her cousin is the emperor, with her identity, let alone just a side concubine, even if it is the position of the main concubine, it is also a matter of course.

In this way, with the pride of Concubine Qin, how could she let a woman from the family of a small five-rank official ride on her own head?

"...... Mother......

Concubine Qin was thinking about Shen Niannian with a grim face, but she was interrupted by the maid, and she was immediately furious, and directly slapped her confidant maid, "What are you arguing about?" I didn't see that Hongu was annoying! ”

The maid covered her face and was beaten aggrieved, although she was a confidant, but Concubine Qin's temper was not good, and if she didn't go well, she would be beaten or scolded, but they didn't dare to complain in the slightest, and they had to send the right cheek to the right cheek after being beaten, for fear that one would accidentally die.

"Niangniang, you are also the prince's side concubine, it is the emperor's will, you are the hostess here, are you so willing to watch that Shen Niannian take your place? If we don't show up today, you will definitely be secretly laughed at by other ladies and ladies of the family in the future. ”

The maid said flatteringly, just talking about Concubine Qin's heart.

Concubine Qin snorted coldly, "Who said that this concubine won't go out?" This concubine is the side concubine that Ming Media is marrying, Shen Niannian is just a country vixen, with her ability, don't make trouble for the prince! ”

After that, she instructed the maid to comb her hair, specially chose a favorite dress, tidied it up, and then took the maid towards the front yard.

At this time, Shen Niannian was chatting with a group of official ladies in the garden of the front hall of the courtyard.

As the person designated by King Ling to be in charge of this matter, these ladies and ladies who have always been high and low do not dare to offend easily, although they wonder why King Ling wants to hand over such a big matter to a strange woman to do, but the ladies and ladies who have heard about it for a long time can probably guess what the moody Lord Ling is and what he intends to do.

I'm afraid that I really plan to marry this Shen girl into the main room!

Although this doesn't seem to be in line with the previous rules, King Ling has always been a person who doesn't play cards according to common sense in the eyes of everyone, and let his favorite person replace Concubine Qin to do this kind of thing that can only be done by a free hostess, but I am afraid that it can also be done.

Shen Niannian used to be in the Bournehou Mansion, although she was only Yun Shangnan's wife, but whenever there was a banquet to be held in the Bournehou Mansion, she would also work with the housewife.

Although the status of King Ling and Bo En Hou is very different, the guests who will come are naturally all rich and noble, and Shen Niannian's pressure is naturally not comparable to that little Hou Mansion's second son's wife.

Although this kind of interpersonal communication is really troublesome, as long as she remembers the words that Yi Qinglan promised her that day, Shen Niannian still decided to try it hard.

Since that person is destined to ascend to a high position in the future, she will not expect the position that almost all women in the world want to sit on. As long as the person still likes her, help her solve these trivial matters in the back house and don't let her worry about it.

"I really can't see it, Miss Shen, you actually grew up in a place like the countryside, I once heard my father mention the border, it is said that the people there are very poor, right?"

The women of the family, including many noble ladies, may not set foot in Kyoto in their lifetime, and their impressions of other places in the Dongyi Dynasty come from the mouths of their husbands and fathers at home, so they all look at her curiously.

It's just that the woman who said this was obviously hostile to Shen Niannian. The tone was openly and secretly sarcastic, and Shen Niannian was just a girl from the countryside. and proudly bit the word poverty very hard, and many ladies and ladies present are also human spirits, where can you not hear the full malice in those words?

It's just that thinking about it, Prince Ling, who has now been appointed as the prince, actually fell in love with such a lowly woman. Let them receive their guests instead of the hostess here. Naturally, everyone's hearts are not very comfortable.

Naturally, the circles of the upper class could only accept people of equal status. They really don't look down on Shen Niannian's background.

If it weren't for King Ling's sake, I'm afraid they wouldn't bother to say a word to her at all.

So there was a stupid girl who wanted to come out, and she didn't hesitate to risk offending King Ling to embarrass Shen Niannian. Naturally, they were happy to see the excitement.

"Ruolin County Lord said with a smile, the border is not a poor place, but because it borders foreign countries, it is also extremely lively and prosperous, and there are many specialties that we can't see in the Dongyi Dynasty, which is also eye-catching, but unfortunately, many specialties cannot be transported to Kyoto after a long journey, otherwise I will definitely show the county lord the characteristics of the border."

Shen Niannian replied with a smile.

This Ruolin county lord is the daughter of the king of the east, and she is about the same age as her, and she married into the Yanguo Mansion in the same year, and now she is a wife and has a daughter.

However, this Ruolin County Lord has always been spoiled, even after getting married, because her husband is the only seedling in the family, this life is also very leisurely, but her temper is too straight, and she is easy to be provoked to offend people with a few words, which is a headache for her mother's family and the people of Yanguo's mansion.

Therefore, she is not disgusted with Lord Ruolin.

It's just a little curious, who is playing right and wrong in front of this county lord, and it is actually that this county lord is so disgusted with her.

Shen Niannian's words immediately aroused the curiosity of the ladies and ladies of Kyoto, and even the two or three-year-old little doll looked at her with blank eyes, urging her to say something rare about the border.

Shen Niannian was also happy to get along with everyone, so when Concubine Qin was helped by the maids to the front yard, she heard the ladies and ladies sighing and laughing in surprise or joy.

Her face sank, her chin was raised, and she walked straight in.

"Concubine Qin is here, she is saying why I don't see you in the front yard today, come and listen to what Miss Shen said, I didn't expect there to be so many interesting things in the border city."

A young lady saw Concubine Qin walk in, and hurriedly stepped forward and smiled, her face full of flattery.

Concubine Qin ignored this person's flattery, and glanced at her coldly, but when she looked at the other ladies and young ladies with a shallow smile on her face.

"Miss Shen, it's really troublesome, these **** people are unwell, the prince just let you be a guest to help, I've tired you for so many days, I've worked hard for you." Concubine Qin said with just the right amount of care on her face, and with a hint of pity, "It's just that there are very few women in our palace, and I'm not feeling well, and there are so many things in the past few days, and there is not even a woman who can call the shots." ”

As soon as Concubine Qin's words came out, everyone knew what she meant.

Suddenly looked at Shen Niannian with some surprise.

Could it be that it was really just because King Ling didn't have other side concubines and concubines that he temporarily asked Shen Niannian to help?

If this is the case, then their attitude towards Shen Niannian will naturally change.

Seeing that everyone's expressions were different, Shen Niannian did not deny Concubine Qin's words, after all, she was only a guest of King Ling now.

smiled faintly, "Concubine Qin is polite, now that I live in the mansion, I am already disturbing a lot, and the prince needs help with something, so naturally I will not refuse." ”

As she spoke, she looked at her as if she was a little puzzled, "It's just...... The prince didn't tell me about your physical discomfort, but now, do you want to help? ”。

Anti-guest-oriented, Shen Niannian said calmly, not only following the meaning of Concubine Qin, but also slapping her in the face.

For a while, the eyes of the people present looked at her and changed.

I thought that she was just a girl who grew up in the countryside, and there should be no threat, but I never thought that this Shen Niannian was obviously not a soft persimmon, and she dared to say such things to Concubine Qin, who had always had a bad temper.

The prince didn't mention Concubine Qin at all, so the reason why Concubine Qin said that she couldn't come to entertain them because she was unwell had to think about it carefully.

Some people thought that since the always arrogant Concubine Qin had not even seen King Ling's face once in the past few years since she entered King Ling's mansion, and then looked at Shen Niannian, who seemed to be at ease no matter what situation she faced, her eyes suddenly flashed a little interesting.

This Shen Niannian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, with the support of King Ling, but Concubine Qin is not a soft persimmon, there are also the emperor and the queen mother behind her, these two are fighting, I am afraid that there will be excitement in the future.

Concubine Qin was laughed at angrily, her status is noble, no one has ever dared to provoke her like this, does this Shen Niannian really think that with the protection of the prince, he can step on her head?!

"Yes, it just so happens that there are a lot of distinguished guests here today, and this concubine also has something to say."

Concubine Qin smiled, but her eyes were full of malice.

"On the way to Kyoto, Miss Shen and the prince can be said to be opposite each other, as a daughter's family, I think you are also interested in the prince, although the concubine is not the prince's wife, but she is also the only hostess of the Ling Wangfu, for so many years, there is only this concubine in the house, after Miss Shen came, this courtyard gradually became popular."

Concubine Qin opened her mouth with a smile, "It's not as good as this, this concubine will be the master to help the prince include Miss Shen and you in our mansion, although Miss Shen, your family background is average, but for the sake of the prince's face, it is still okay to enter the mansion to be a concubine." ”

As soon as she said this, the people present still didn't understand what she was thinking, and looked at Shen Niannian again, wanting to see how this Shen girl should deal with it.

With the identity of King Ling's current prince, Shen Niannian is not qualified to be a side concubine, at most she is a concubine, if she enters King Ling's Mansion in the future, there is only one side concubine in this Ling Palace, and this wants to kill a concubine with a casual name, but it is very convenient.
