Chapter 8: Newcomers (1)
The Queen Mother said this unceremoniously.
Actually, Yun Xiao knew that when the Queen Mother came, she would definitely not say anything nice, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would ridicule her in public on her post-book ceremony, did not give Xia Rui a child, and forced her to give Xia Rui Concubine a child, which was too much.
When Yun Xiao heard this, she was about to lose control of her expression, she forced herself to remain calm, her hands were clenched into fists, and she was about to speak, when Xia Rui, who was sitting beside her, suddenly reached out to hold Yun Xiao's hand, and said to the Queen Mother casually:
"The queen mother bothered to give such a special gift to the queen, but I don't know, which family are the four women standing in this hall? How old is it? Have you found someone to calculate the birth date, is it suitable to enter the palace as a concubine? ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled very delicately, and she said painlessly:
"Although the emperor can rest assured, what you are worried about, the mourning family has already thought about it for the queen, and it will definitely not embarrass the queen, the four women standing in this hall, namely the Gao family, the Song family, the Du family and the Wen family, are all well-educated and well-educated ladies, and they will definitely be able to assist the queen in the future, prosper the emperor's harem together, extend the heirs for the emperor, and spread the branches and leaves for my Great Xia Dynasty, and ...... With them, the queen doesn't have to worry about the heirs, the emperor is so fond of the queen, the queen should concentrate on serving the emperor, and let the concubines do other things, serving the emperor well is the queen's first priority! ”
The queen mother's words, Yun Xiao listened to it, her lungs were about to explode, the queen's first priority is to serve the emperor well, and the continuation of heirs is a matter of concubines, what kind of fallacy is this?
Is the Queen Mother angry because she failed to support Hua Tianruo to be the queen? !
Fortunately, Xia Rui has been holding her hand tightly, and hinted to her with the firm strength of her palm that she must calm down and not lose the queen's Fengyi, so that Yun Xiao will not lose her temper in public.
Xia Rui understood what Yun Xiao was thinking, and he didn't have to wait for Yun Xiao to speak, so he said first: "What the queen mother said is very true, it's just ......"
However, the Queen Mother didn't give Xia Rui a chance to speak at all, and interrupted Xia Rui's words very strongly, looked straight at Yun Xiao, and said:
"Queen, you are also from a famous family, the emperor has always praised you for being gentle and virtuous, but it is just four people, you will not be so stingy, right?"
This is to force Yun Xiao to accept.
Yun Xiao was very annoyed in her heart, but she had to accept it, she smiled reluctantly at the Queen Mother, and then said:
"What did the Queen Mother say? You are wholeheartedly thinking about the emperor, how can your concubines be stingy? These four sisters are all famous ladies, to be able to enter the palace to serve the emperor, but also their blessings, through the concubines after today's canonization, together canonized into the palace, first given to the concubines, respectively in Changning Palace and Zhongqing Palace, and wait for the emperor to serve in the future, and then promote it! ”
In the harem of the Great Xia Kingdom, the concubine position is the fifth grade, although it is not the main position of the first palace, but it is not low to get such a position when you first enter the palace.
Although the Queen Mother felt that this score was not as high as expected, she had already forced Yun Xiao to accept the newcomer, which could be regarded as the goal had been achieved, and the matter of the position could also be talked about later, so she also pretended to be happy, and boasted again and again:
"The queen is really knowledgeable, humble and virtuous, and she has lived up to the favor of the emperor and the mourning family!"
As she spoke, she looked at the four women standing below and said,
"You've already received the queen's personal title, why don't you thank you?"
The four of them hurriedly thanked in unison: "Concubine Xie Empress Niangniang's grace, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
Yun Xiao looked at the four women carefully.
According to what the Queen Mother just introduced, the one standing on the far left is the Gao family, and the one on the far right is the Wen family.
The Gao family is glamorous and arrogant, the Song family looks full of bookish atmosphere, the Du family is simple, and the Wen family is delicate and smart.
Sure enough, each has its own merits, and there is no duplication.
The Queen Mother was afraid that she would not be able to figure out Xia Rui's mind, so she chose a beautiful person from each type of woman to send to the palace, anyway, there is always a type that Xia Rui likes.
As long as she bets on one of them, today's plan will not be in vain.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao couldn't help but feel a headache.
--------------------
It was night, and after those cumbersome rituals, Xia Rui sent all the palace people away and sat in the dormitory of Fengyi Palace with Yun Xiao.
This Fengyi Palace was originally the place where the Queen Mother lived, and Xia Rui specially asked someone to renovate and take care of it, and it looked new inside and out, and it was no longer what Yun Xiao looked like when he first entered the palace.
Yun Xiao looked at the dormitory and said to Xia Rui: "Your Majesty, did you really throw out all the things used by the Queen Mother?" ”
Xia Rui smiled: "I didn't throw it away, it's just that some of the things here were used by the Queen Mother herself, so she took them to Shou'an Palace, and I sent the rest back to the warehouse and locked up!" In the future, you will be the place where I come the most, not to mention that you see those things, you feel irritable, I look at it, and I feel uncomfortable, anyway, the Queen Mother doesn't want it, I can put it wherever I like, can she still force me to look at those things every day? ”
Yun Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard this.
Xia Rui pulled Yun Xiao to sit on the phoenix bed, and said apologetically:
"I already knew that she would send the daughter of their Gao family to my harem, but I didn't expect that she would force you to accept it at your post-book ceremony, and it was still four women, it was too much of a bully! I wanted to get you in the way, but ...... But ......"
Yun Xiao sighed and said, "I understand your intentions, it's okay, I know that you have me in your heart!" ”
Xia Rui held Yun Xiao's hand tightly and said firmly:
"The woman of the world, I have not only seen you, but I will only have you in my heart, there is no joke, since I can say it, I will definitely do it, if one day, you think that I have lost you, treat other women better than you, and even snub you, then you will also bear me, let me, the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, be a turtle king bastard, let the world see the joke!"
"Don't ...... Don't ......" Yun Xiao was startled when he heard this.
Yun Xiao was both moved and sad, she didn't want to cry today, but the Queen Mother forced her so much, she was really wronged in her heart, she leaned on Xia Rui's arms, and said in a low voice:
"The concubine will not bear you, the concubine swore in front of the bed of the former emperor, if you bear you, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed immediately, and you will not die well, the concubine ...... Concubines...... It's just that I feel uncomfortable......"
When Xia Rui heard this, he immediately straightened Yun Xiao, looked at her fixedly, and asked incredulously, "You really made such an oath?!" ”
