109. Second Concubine

In the Qiankun Palace, the man on the throne frowned and looked at the several courtiers under the hall, watching them spit in front of his eyes.

"Your Majesty, with Concubine Ning's background, it is impossible to ascend to the throne, if you want to promote Concubine Ning Niangniang to concubine, you must also promote another woman with status to concubine, this woman can prepare for the promotion of the queen, so as to calm the tongue of the world!"

It was Shen Heng who said this, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

What he meant was that if he wanted to promote Ning Su, he would also promote a woman with status as a concubine as the queen's reserve.

Li Wuqi narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly, and did not make a sound, but his eyes looked at several other people.

"That's right, the emperor, if there is an emperor and no queen, he will be laughed at by other countries, so the matter of the queen must start to be prepared, and the emperor must promote another concubine, so that he can be a logical queen." Wu Ge Lao's beard was wet with his spit.

Li Wuqi sneered: "I have already said that I don't plan to set up another concubine, I only plan to make Concubine Ning a concubine!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Elder Wu Ge and several ministers with white beards immediately knelt down in front of him, "Your Majesty, you can't do it!" If the emperor doesn't think about the heirs of the Tianyuan Dynasty, the old ministers will keep kowtowing until they die! ”

The words fell, and there was a kowtow in the hall.

Li Wuyu stroked the corners of his forehead with a headache, and said, "There are some low-ranking people in this harem, how do you ask me to be promoted?" You are the most disciplined, what should I do about this unruly thing? ”

A hint of pride flashed in Shen Heng's eyes: "The emperor doesn't need to break the rules, but in the harem, there is a noble-born woman who is in the concubine position and can be promoted to a concubine with Concubine Ning." ”

"Who?" It's no surprise, why can't he remember that there is such a number one person in the palace?

"This woman, born in a scholarly family, is proficient in all kinds of calligraphy and painting, and has long been known as the first talented woman in the capital before she got married.

"Is there such a person?" After thinking about it carefully, there was still no such person in his head.

"That's right, she is Concubine Hui Su Wan!"

When he mentioned the name Su Wan, he had some impressions. Because Su Wan was tall, she was named a concubine as soon as she entered the harem, but he left this woman behind when he looked at the name, and he never remembered it again.

"Your Majesty......" A few old guys who kowtowed in the hall howled again, "Your Majesty, you have to think about the prince's heirβ€”"

Thunderbolt was afraid of them, and reprimanded, "Get up! I don't want your old bones to be buried in front of me! So do it! Three days later, the concubine ceremony will be held! ”

**

At the concubine ceremony, Ning Su saw this Su Wan for the first time.

Speaking of which, Ning Su has always been a favorite in the harem, and now when he suddenly sees a strange woman standing on the same horizon as himself, everyone will feel uncomfortable.

The woman was wearing a golden and luxurious phoenix robe like herself, with a string of eastern beads around her neck, a phoenix hairpin on her head, and a golden treasure and gold book that only concubines had in her hand, and looked at the emperor above the hall without squinting.

The only difference is that between Ning Su's buns, there is a unique nine-headed phoenix golden step in the world.

Sensing that Ning Su was looking at her, Su Wan tilted her head slightly and smiled respectfully at her.

She is a beautiful woman with a melon seed face, slender and petite, looking weak and pale, but in the face of Ning Su, her eyes show the dignity that a noble girl should have, without shrinking or being humble. Her gorgeous dress shows her innate noble temperament.

At the beginning of the concubine ceremony, Ning Su was named Concubine Ning, and Su Wan was named Concubine Hui.

When Ning Su came back from being sealed, he passed by a rose wall, but he heard two low-level palace concubines behind the rose talking in a whisper.

"Hehe, look at that Ning Su is still proud this time? Does she still think that she can dominate the harem alone? Now there is Concubine Hui, and that person has to be rectified well. Ning Su frowned slightly, her voice full of resentment. She has always been the emperor's exclusive favorite, and she knows that she has long been the center of envy of everyone in the harem.

"Haven't you heard? At the beginning, even Concubine Qi and Ning Su could be defeated, but this Concubine Su may not be able to do it. ”

"When Concubine Su was not married, she was also a well-known talented woman in the capital, and now that she is in a high position, she naturally has a few brushes."

"Hey, hey, hey, then we'll see."

The two of them were talking about the excitement, but they only heard the rose wall through the wall, and one said: "The roses are blooming well this autumn, and I haven't seen you until now." ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces turned innocent with fright, and they recognized that it was Ning Su's voice, so they were so frightened that they hid inside and didn't dare to move.

"Little master, now that the two concubines have just been sealed, there are few people in the palace who want to chew the root of their tongues," Yulan said, "Maybe some people will say something nasty." ”

Qiu He sang and harmonized with her, and said with a smile: "The rules of the harem, but anyone who chews the root of the tongue must have his tongue pulled, have you heard?" It's just a pity that it hasn't been implemented in the harem yet, and if you catch one, you can see a good show. ”

"Ahh Yulan sighed, "How can you talk without a tongue!" ”

"Naturally, I'm dumb."

Ning Su glanced at the two of them, smiled silently, and walked over.

It's just that after the roses, the two of them were already scared like stupid chickens. Smelling a commotion, one of them looked down at his dress, which was already wet.

After Ningxin Palace was renovated and organized, Ning Su still lived there, and Concubine Hui was sealed in Fanghua Palace.

In Ning Xin Palace, Ning Su was personally making a brocade jacket for the emperor.

Magnolia and Qiuhe stood in front of her, wanting to speak and stopping.

Ning Su glanced at the two of them and said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say, why do you have such a face." ”

Yulan's stomach finally came out, and she said indignantly: "The emperor has already said that he wants to crown the little lord as a concubine, but now it's good, he actually sealed two at once, I really don't know what the emperor thinks." Now that she was originally a concubine who was nothing, now she can sit on an equal footing with the little master, which is really annoying. ”

Ning Su raised her lips slightly, what she held in her hand was a dark purple brocade jacket, with fine satin as a face, and she was thinking about whether to sew a piece of sable on the neckline as a collar.

Ning Su glanced at Qiu He and asked, "Do you also have something to say?" ”

Qiu He puffed up his face and said, "The slave's opinion is the same as that of Yulan. It's so unfair for the emperor to do this! ”

Ning Su stopped the needle and thread in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

"Sure enough, I'm spoiled, even the girl is like this, the master can imagine it, I don't know what to be said by outsiders." Ning Su laughed at herself, "Then what do you know about that Concubine Hui's family background?" ”

Yulan knew a little bit and said: "I heard that since the first emperor of this dynasty opened the country, there have been people in the Su family who have been big officials, and they have been serving until now. Su Zihao, who is now an official in the court, is her own brother. ”

When Qiu He heard this, he was taken aback: "Such a powerful backstage, if this Concubine Hui is in power, what should our little master do?" ”

Ning Su glanced at her and said with a smile: "You are thinking far ahead." Don't think about those who don't have it, the emperor said, in two days, I can go to Qingyun Town to save my relatives, and the two of you will go out with the palace. ”

As soon as the two palace maids heard that they could leave the palace, they immediately jumped up with joy, and all the grace and wisdom were thrown aside.

Ning Su looked down at this brocade jacket, now that the weather is getting colder, it will be ready for use in about another month.

Thinking of her hometown, the scenes from the past came to her eyes, and she could finally go back in person.
