Chapter 31: The Noble Concubine

A short time later, the queen came in with a roster in her hand.

"The concubine has seen the emperor." The queen always had that gentle smile on her face.

"Excuse me. What does the queen have to discuss with me? Xiao Ye threw aside the fold on the case and asked.

The queen smiled: "The concubine has just returned from the queen mother, and the queen mother has drafted a list of the positions of the beauties, and the emperor will see if there is anything wrong." ”

"This point is all set by the Queen Mother?" Xiao Ye raised his eyes to look at the queen.

The queen said with some embarrassment: "The concubine is the first time to undertake the draft, and she doesn't know much about many affairs, so the concubine is only assisting the queen ......mother in this draft."

"Well, I see. The Queen Mother is old, you try to do everything by yourself in the future, don't always trouble her old man. Take it. Xiao Ye said lightly.

A hint of joy flashed in the queen's heart, and she hurriedly presented the roster.

Now that the Queen Mother is holding her hostage everywhere, nothing in this harem has to be mixed in. With the emperor's support, her situation will not be as passive as it is now.

If only she could give birth to her eldest son......

The queen stroked her flat lower abdomen without a trace.

She thought of the child with whom she was destined.

Han Guifei can give birth to an emperor, why is her belly so unlucky!

"There is nothing wrong with the rest, it's just that this Luo Xinfang, I remember that she seems to be Luo Hong's daughter, right?" Xiao Ye said and knocked on Luo Xinfang's name on the roster.

"Exactly." The queen came back to her senses and replied respectfully.

Xiao Ye frowned and said, "Why did you decide on a four-grade Wanyi?" It is too much to say that the rank of the concubine of the official department is so low. According to me, let's change the title of the noble concubine of the third grade. ”

The queen also felt strange, when she discussed the position of the draft girl with the Queen Mother, she always felt that the Queen Mother seemed to be deliberately suppressing Luo Xinfang.

But Luo Shangshu is just a pure minister, how can he have a holiday with the Lin family?

To say that the Queen Mother doesn't like Luo Xinfang, it is a bit unreasonable. The Queen Mother has never seen Luo Xinfang, so she can't be suppressed because she doesn't like this name, right?

The queen smiled: "The emperor is wise." There are also a few beauties on this roster, and the Queen Mother means that you will be given a title. You see? ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ye glanced at the names circled by the Queen Mother with a red pen, thought for a while, and said: "Jiang Ling gave the word Xian, Zhao Wanying gave the word Hui, this Wei Qing Shuang ......"

"Give the word soft." A mocking smile escaped from the corner of Xiao Ye's mouth.

The queen rubbed her sweat secretly.

The news that the young lady of the Wei family performed a sword dance during the palace election has spread in the palace, and the various "heroic" deeds of Miss Wei in Youzhou City have even been heard of in the deep palace.

The emperor just gave Miss Wei the word "soft", which is really bad enough.

"The emperor also thinks these words are very good." The queen echoed with a clear conscience, "The Ministry of Rites has already set the date, if the emperor thinks there is no problem, you can draft the decree." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ye just wanted to hand over the roster, but his eyes inadvertently fell on Luo Xinfang's name.

The woman's voice like Lin Laiquan seemed to ring in his ears again.

"Faith is 'Believer, sincere, single-minded.'" The letter of Fang, Fang is 'Fang and Zeqi are mixed, but the quality is still not lost'. ”

The corners of Xiao Ye's lips hooked slightly, threw the roster to the queen, and said lightly: "Luo Xinfang, give the word." ”

He doesn't hate smart people.

The next day, it was still early, and Luo Fu was lit up everywhere, and the scene was comparable to Chinese New Year's Eve.

There is a concubine of the Son of Heaven in the house, which is a great honor. From the master to the servants in Luofu, all of them were full of joy, and the passers-by who came and went were all envious of the daughter of Luofu for being favored by the saint.

The one who came to Luofu to announce the decree was the father-in-law of the Yellow Gate. By the time Gonggong Lu stepped into the gate of Luofu with the holy decree, Luo Hong was already waiting in front of the door with a group of family members.

"Luo Hong, the secretary of the ministry, received the order." The shrill voice of Gonggong Lu reached everyone's ears, and everyone in Luofu knelt when they heard the order.

Gonggong Lu opened the holy decree and sang loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, today there is Luo Xinfang, the daughter of Luo Hong, the secretary of the ministry, who is cautious, gentle and supple, gentle and virtuous. Immediately canonized as a three-grade noble concubine, specially given the title of 'end', choose an auspicious day to enter the palace, there must be no mistake, Qin this. ”

"Chen Luohong receives the decree, thank the Holy Grace." After Luo Hong bowed, he took the holy decree with both hands and held it high above his head to show his loyalty.

Father-in-law Lu looked at Luo Hong and smiled with a spring breeze, "Lord Luo, congratulations!" The emperor only gave titles to four nobles this time, and Miss Guifu is one of them! ”

The smile on Mrs. Luo's face froze.

This Luo Xinfang has such ability, when she first entered the court, she was named a noble concubine of the third grade, and the emperor specially gave her a title?

"It must be because of this foxy face." Mrs. Luo muttered quietly.

Luo Hong glanced at Mrs. Luo coldly, Mrs. Luo shrunk her neck, pursed her lips and stopped making a sound.

Luo Xinfang didn't pay attention to Mrs. Luo, she looked at Father-in-law Lu who was smiling all over her face, and was silent for a while.

This father-in-law laughed so hard, and people who didn't know were afraid that they would think that his daughter was going to enter the palace.

Luo Hong waved his hand, and said politely with Gonggong Lu: "Don't dare, don't dare, thank you for the saint's attention to my Luo family, and Weichen is grateful." Gong Lu is working hard, so it's better to have a cup of tea in our mansion and then leave. ”

"Eh, Lord Luo is serious, the miscellaneous family is just on an errand ordered by the emperor, so why do you have to say it. Lord Luo's kindness is mixed with the family's heart, but I am afraid that the auspicious time will be delayed, this tea, let's do it another day. Father-in-law Lu smiled.

Luo Hong saw that the time was almost up, so he glanced at Mrs. Luo, who was holding her neck on the side.

Mrs. Luo was stunned, and she didn't understand what Luo Hong meant.

Thanks to Luo Xinfang's preparation, she hurriedly took off the reward purse from her waist and handed it to Lu Gonggong: "Lu Gonggong is the person who serves the queen's mother, and it is really hard to work hard for these things, please don't shirk this caution." ”

Luo Hong saw that it was his daughter who personally resolved the embarrassment, and he couldn't help but be even more disappointed in Mrs. Luo.

Only then did Mrs. Luo react, as the main mother, she should have done such a thing as rewarding Father-in-law Lu.

It's just that the person who sealed the concubine was Luo Xinfang, not her child, so she didn't take these things to heart at all, so much so that she almost made a joke.

Father-in-law Lu put the purse into his sleeve and said with a smile: "Duangui Concubine Niangniang, you are really tormenting the old slave, this auspicious time has come, if there is nothing to do, you see?" ”

Luo Xinfang nodded knowingly, turned around and bowed to Luo Hong.

"The daughter bids farewell to her father."

Luo Hong held up his daughter's arm and gave her a solemn courtier salute.

"Weichen sends off the noble concubine."

"Congratulations to the noble concubine." Behind him, everyone in Luofu also saluted.

Luo Xinfang smiled gently, withdrew her gaze, and then moved lightly and got into the sedan chair.

She once thought that she would be uneasy, but now that it has come to this moment, her heart is as calm as a pool of stagnant water, without any waves.

The sedan chair carried her away from West Street, and walked all the way to the majestic palace.

From now on, in this deep palace, she will no longer be Luo Xinfang, but the concubine of the Son of Heaven.

The sedan chair circled around the criss-crossing palace walls, and finally stopped in front of the Juhe Palace.

When Luo Xinfang got off the sedan chair, Gonggong Lu looked in the direction of the Juhe Palace and said with a smile: "The slave is here to congratulate the noble concubine Niangniang, Your Majesty's harem is empty, this Juhe Palace is not inhabited yet, and you will be the master as soon as you live in." ”

Luo Xinfang said with a smile: "Thank you Father-in-law Lu, presumably Father-in-law Lu still has important business, so there won't be much left here in the palace." Silver screen, go and send Lu Gonggong. ”

"Thank you for your compassion to the slave, and the slave will retire." After saying that, Father-in-law Lu took a group of attendants to Fengyi Palace to report.

Seeing off Father-in-law Lu, Luo Xinfang led Yinping and Yindian into the palace gate of Juhe Palace.

Juhe Palace was once the palace of the ancestor emperor's favorite concubine Lian Guifei, it is rumored that this Lian Guifei loved Hanlian, the ancestor emperor ordered people to open up the largest lotus pond in the palace in Juhe Palace, and built a number of stone bridges and small pavilions to decorate, and the whole Juhe Palace was floating with a refreshing fragrance in the summer.

But what Luo Xinfang couldn't figure out was why the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother shared it with her in such a good place?

Luo Xinfang stepped into the main hall of Juhe Palace and the Yuanling Hall with a suspicious mood.

The palace people who were waiting in the Juhe Palace had already gathered in the Yuanling Palace, waiting for their long-awaited master.

After Luo Xinfang sat down firmly on the main seat in the main hall, the leading palace maid and the chief eunuch led everyone to kowtow to her.

"Slaves and maids see Duangui Concubine Niangniang, Duangui Concubine Niangniang is auspicious."

Luo Xinfang carefully examined these kneeling people in the palace.

The emperor's harem has been empty for a long time, so there are not many palace people left in Juhe Palace, and the Shangyi Bureau will take a group of slaves and maids to various palaces for nobles to choose after the selected show girls enter the palace.

At present, there are no more than ten kneeling people in this temple.

According to her rank, she could have twelve attendants by her side. This palace maid and the chief eunuch must stay, and as for the others, she can also choose from the slaves and maids sent by the Shangyi Bureau, and then observe and observe.

"Since you are the people in this Lotus Palace, you should plan for the Lotus Palace wholeheartedly. If any of you have that mind, then don't blame this palace for being ruthless. Luo Xinfang swept his cold gaze towards everyone kneeling in the hall.

"Yes, slaves and maidservants remember the teachings of the mother."

The palace people had different expressions, and Luo Xinfang took in the expressions of these people.

"You all get up, if you all work for the Lotus Palace in peace, the palace will naturally not treat you badly." As soon as Luo Xinfang raised his chin, Yinping immediately distributed the reward to the palace people kneeling in the hall.

"Xie Niangniang." The palace people who received the reward were all happy.

Luo Xinfang gave a lot of rewards, and the palace people in the palace were secretly glad that there was a generous master in the Juhe Palace.

After receiving the reward, the leading eunuch turned around with his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Luo Xinfang looked at the palace maid and the chief eunuch, and said, "You two, what's your name?" ”
