The Queen Mother's words were clear, but Yin Lingyuan didn't want to take on this heavy responsibility.

She and Qi Ye are in name only, in Yin Lingyuan's heart, Qi Ye is like her boss, she has never regarded herself as his concubine, and naturally she doesn't want to be the person at the top of the harem.

Whether she is lazy or not enterprising, she didn't like to compete for the first place in her previous life, from elementary school to university, running for class cadres, she was never an active group of people. After working for two years, he only did his own job, and he had no lofty ambitions, let alone being a leader and taking responsibility.

As far as the current situation is concerned, she is neither a concubine in the true sense of Qi Ye, nor is she even more qualified to be the master of the six palaces, and it is good to be a concubine who is not at the top and not low at all, comfortable and comfortable.

"The concubine's qualifications are still shallow", Yin Lingyuan said, "I'm afraid I can't afford this important responsibility." ”

"It doesn't matter if you have qualifications or not", the Queen Mother looked at Yin Lingyuan for a while, paused and asked: "You tell the truth to the mourning family, are you afraid that you won't do it well, or do you don't want to do it at all?" ”

Yin Lingyuan raised her eyebrows, pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "The concubine doesn't want to." ”

"The concubine feels that the current life is very good, the vegetables in the Yinghua Palace and Zhongxiu Palace need to be taken care of, and the concubine only wishes to grow vegetables, make good food, and be filial to the Queen Mother." After thinking about it, he added, "Serve the emperor well and extend the heirs for the emperor as soon as possible." ”

The Queen Mother listened quietly, as if she wanted to persuade, but she didn't speak for a while.

In fact, she didn't know Concubine Yu's temperament, and it was precisely because she knew that she trusted and wanted to entrust her. But Concubine Yu has never been a person who is obsessed with these things, and because she knows her temperament, it can be said that she is not very surprised by her choice.

"Queen Mother, the dishes in the small kitchen are ready." At this time, Fu Xi came in to pray.

The Queen Mother then pulled Yin Lingyuan to get up: "Let's set the meal." ”

Until she finished dinner, the Queen Mother didn't mention it again, and someone sent her back to the palace.

After a period of calm, until the day of the Laba Festival, Qi Ye gave kindness and sealed the six palaces.

The late concubine was posthumously honored as the queen of filial piety, the concubine was named the concubine, the concubine was promoted to the concubine, and the lady Li was named a beauty, all three of whom were meritorious people in the Wei case.

In addition, Concubine Rong was promoted to the rank of noble concubine and was in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, and then assisted by Concubine Xian and Concubine Jing respectively.

In addition, there are some low-level beauties and ladies, who have been in the palace for many years, and they are not very favored.

The will of the reward, everyone in the harem saw the meaning of the words.

First of all, Jin Jieyu was named a concubine, and she did not have the will to move the palace, and naturally became the lord of Shunkang Palace, which means that the former Concubine Yi Wei will not be able to come back at all, even if the emperor leaves her a life, it is only a life.

And without Concubine Yi, the second prince is not yet an adult, should the emperor find another biological mother for him? If so, who would this person be? No matter who it is, it will become a powerful capital for her to stand in the sixth house and in the future.

On the other hand, Concubine Rong took a step closer and became the head of the Six Palaces, and Concubine Xian also had the power to assist the Six Palaces, which meant that the power of the Six Palaces was once again reshuffled.

People who didn't have a holiday with Concubine Rong have moved closer to Concubine Rong-now it's time to be called Concubine Rong-;

And Concubine Xian, Concubine Yu, and Concubine He are good friends, and Li Meiren after being promoted to the throne is originally a person in Concubine Xian's palace, and naturally she is all the way;

The other is Xiao Wei's concubine, she can get rid of her sister in just over a year and replace her as the lord of Shunkang Palace, she knows that she should not be underestimated, and Concubine Yi is gone, the power of the entire Wei family will only slowly tend to her, at the same time, she is the aunt of the second prince, like Concubine Sun, who has offended Concubine Yu and Concubine Rong in the past, she must try her best to get closer to Concubine Jin at this moment.

- As for the righteous killing of relatives or something, the emperor doesn't care about it, and they don't have to mind these concubines who are bent on their own affairs.

For a time, three forces were formed in the harem, showing a three-legged situation.

"Three-legged?" Yin Lingyuan was amused, "Where did you hear this, a good harem is still called to make a Three Kingdoms?" ”

Bao Sheng, who had said a lot, held the tea bowl and moistened his throat, and replied: "The palace people all spread this in private, and the slaves and maids all listened to them. ”

Yin Lingyuan laughed: "I think you don't want to call Baosheng in the future, change your name to Bao and inquire." ”

"Niangniang still has the heart to laugh, the slaves and maids are in a hurry", Baosheng said unhappily, she heard more than the above.

"What are you anxious about?" Yin Lingyuan was in the warm pavilion, fiddling with the peach saplings that had sprouted her buds, and asked casually.

"The emperor has sealed so many people, but there is no you", Baosheng stomped his feet, "You are still the victim of that incident at the beginning." ”

That's because I refused, Yin Lingyuan said in her heart, but at that time, the Queen Mother asked her in private, and sent Fuxi out, and Han Lu, who followed her, didn't know the situation, Yin Lingyuan didn't plan to say, only said: "I was victimized at the beginning, hasn't the emperor already sealed it?" Have you forgotten, how did this concubine Yu come to be in this palace? ”

"But ......" Bao Sheng was about to say more, but Yin Lingyuan interrupted her: "I am already a concubine Yu, and if I am promoted to the title again, will it be possible to be a concubine?" At that time, it was not so easy to be a shopkeeper. ”

The last sentence was muttered in a low voice, Baosheng didn't hear it clearly, but after serving Yin Lingyuan for so long, how could she not understand her mother's temperament, she has always been "people don't offend me, I don't offend people", she is obsessed with the countryside all day long, and never cares about the troubles in the palace.

She is not the only one in the palace who thinks like Baosheng, whether it is the palace people or the master, many people are polite on the surface, but in fact, they are all quietly laughing at Concubine Yu behind their backs, what if they are favored, in the end, they still let Concubine Rong have the upper hand, and they are now the masters of the six palaces.

However, although Concubine Rong is in the upper position, her style of acting is still much more restrained than before, and she is still polite to Zhao Meiren who has come back. After this incident, she can learn to be obedient, blindly being strong may not be able to get good, finding out the weaknesses of others, using them, and finally outwitting is the key.

So for Yin Lingkite, although she still hates it, she will not be as reckless as before, she will not blatantly trouble her, she will only slowly figure it out.

Outside the bloody wind and rain, but the inside of Zhongxiu Palace is as beautiful as spring, it is really a warm shed full of greenery, in this bare winter everywhere, it becomes a scenery of its own.

Every winter, it is also Qi Ye's favorite time to come to Yin Lingyuan, sometimes even with an excerpt, her greenhouse as the queen's office, a stay is an afternoon, here is warm as spring, full of green, in which you can feel comfortable, it is really an excellent office location.

It made Yu Ze very unhappy.

"But what can I do?" Yin Lingyuan spread his hands, "After all, he is the boss, don't say that I have three points of land per acre, the entire palace is his." ”

The word "boss" successfully pleased him, and Yu Ze immediately and generously stopped bothering with someone.

After the twentieth month of the lunar month, all the palaces are busy, this year's snow is not more, no less, there will be no more snow disasters like last year, everyone's hanging heart is finally gradually let go, happy to prepare for the New Year.

After the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the emperor sealed the pen, no longer need to go to the court, and no longer have to soak in the warm shed of Zhongxiu Palace every day, Yin Lingyuan finally sent away this great god.

She is the lord of the two palaces, and Zhongxiu Palace and Yinghua Palace have posted the Spring Festival couplets and blessings, and they are full of joy.

Because of the vegetables planted in two palaces this year, Qi Ye proposed to use some of the vegetables from her side for the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and Yin Lingyuan agreed very generously.

Since his double cultivation, Yu Ze has been quite tolerant of these spirit vegetables and spirit fruits, and he is basically at the disposal of Yin Lingyuan.

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the chief manager of the imperial dining room and the people from the Internal Affairs Office came to the menu with Yin Lingyuan, that is, to report the dishes they were going to make that day to Yin Lingyuan, and then agreed on the vegetables they needed, and waited until the twenty-ninth day to come and pick them, so as to ensure the freshness to the greatest extent.

Since they all agreed, looking at the needs of the imperial dining room at this moment, Yin Lingyuan had no objections, and only asked Chu Hui to remember it, and take them to pick it up when the time comes.

The people in the imperial dining room and the internal affairs office just walked on the front foot, and Li Meiren arrived on the back foot, and it turned out that her original choice was correct, although she suffered more crimes, but now her legs are recovering very well, if she doesn't walk or run quickly, she can't usually see that she has a leg disease.

"Why are you here in the New Year", Yin Lingyuan smiled and called people in, and ordered the palace people to serve tea and snacks.

"There is nothing to do in the palace, I heard that the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet will use the vegetables from the mother's house, presumably it is busy, so I came over to see if there was anything I needed help." Li Meiren smiled kindly.

Since her leg healed, she often came to Yin Lingyuan Palace, sometimes only talking, and sometimes even helping her with the fields.

At first, Yin Lingyuan didn't ask her to do it, after all, the status of the ladies is noble, and Li Meiren still has leg disease.

On the contrary, Li Meiren didn't care at all, and often helped pick and water, etc., and said that Doctor Fang said that it was not good for her legs to recuperate, and a moderate amount of movement would help to recover.

Later, Yin Lingyuan stopped holding back.

After being promoted to the beauty, the emperor also went to see her once and specifically asked her about her leg disease. Since then, Li Meiren's life has improved, and there are people to serve again.

Yin Lingyuan once asked her once if she wanted to go out of the palace, and Li Meiren was silent for a long time at that time, and finally replied that she didn't know.

Her leg is better, and now she has been promoted, she is still young, and she may not have a future, so Li Meiren hesitated, she wanted to stay in the palace and continue to see the future days.

"The people from the Imperial Dining Room and the Internal Affairs Office just left," Yin Lingyuan said, "Did you bump into you when you came in?" ”

"It was them", Li Meiren suddenly said, "It's unfortunate that the concubine came, but when did you pick the vegetables?" The concubine will come to help then. ”

"On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month", Yin Lingyuan saw that Li Meiren did find fun from playing in the fields, so he didn't refuse her, "If you're okay, come over." ”

The two talked for a while, and when it was time for dinner, Li Meiren said goodbye and left.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the people in the imperial dining room came to pick as scheduled, and Li Meiren also came, and she was busy for most of the morning, and everything went well.

Yin Lingyuan left her for lunch together, and after a long afternoon, Yin Lingyuan and Hanlu were in the house with a few people to load the purse for tomorrow's reward, and at half a decade in the night, suddenly a little eunuch reported outside.

The guards in the cold palace went.
