Chapter 156: Death and Life (2)
Shen Yan deliberately said in a tone, wanting to arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction with Cui Ying.
Now at a critical juncture, reputation is not as important as happiness in the second half of his life, and Shen Yan can't care much.
But she said so, and the emperor still didn't have any change in expression.
Could it be that the emperor knew about this early on, and Concubine Xian even told him this?
"Brother Huang, don't you mind these rumors about Miss Cui?"
Shen Yan asked tentatively.
"When you were a child, you also read the books of sages, and you studied under Confucianism. How can you now learn to judge a person by gossip? If it is a rumor, you know that it is not true. ”
The Emperor was talking at this time, coughing violently, obviously very angry. He didn't expect Kang He to say such a thing, if the first emperor was still there, he was afraid that he would be angry with her on the spot!
Shen Yan only cared about pouring dirty water on Cui Ying so that she could escape entering the palace, completely ignoring her image at this time, she was simply a long-tongued woman.
"You don't have to worry, the will of the little Cui clan to enter the palace is estimated to have arrived at the Cui Mansion now."
"What!"
Shen Yan was taken aback, he didn't expect the emperor and Concubine Xian to move so quickly.
The emperor glanced at her inquiringly, obviously not knowing why Kang He was so concerned about Xiao Cui's affairs.
The Emperor's will has gone down, and it is almost impossible to get him to repent now.
Shen Yan felt helpless at this time, but he couldn't do anything to help her, so he could only solemnly bow his hand and say.
"Brother Huang, although Xiao Cui's family is a concubine, she is also a first-class beauty in Chang'an, a first-class talented girl, and she is also the sister of the virtuous concubine. Is the contouring position a little wronged by her? What's more, this marriage is to make the royal brother happy, and it has to be done a lot. ”
The only thing she can do now is to elevate Cui Ying's position after entering the palace, in case Cui Ying has a hard time after entering the palace.
What Shen Yan said also made some sense, and the emperor couldn't help but think about it a few times, and said: "That being the case, it is better to be named Zhaoyi." ”
"Brother Huang. Concubine Niangniang was a concubine as soon as she entered the palace, and when she entered the palace, Chang'an City was full of people watching the excitement, which was a sensation, and now the teahouse can still hear this passage. Even so, it is better to make Xiao Cui's family a concubine, and when she enters the palace, it will be a glory for one family and two concubines! ”
Shen Yan lit up a pair of apricot eyes and said quite sincerely.
Her delicate little face was full of yearning, like a child who coveted excitement.
This is also said to the emperor's heart.
Even if it is happy, it must be lively.
"In this case, I will seal Xiao Cui's as Concubine Li and give her to live in Yuehua Palace."
The emperor said lightly, and Yue Xin waited on the side to write down this will, and secretly cast a reverent gaze at Shen Yan.
In just a few words, he swayed the emperor's decision, and even raised the third-level position to this master who had not entered the palace, which was really powerful.
Shen Yan pressed the emotions in his heart, smiled and talked to the emperor for a while before turning around and leaving.
She was sick some time ago, and now she finally went to the palace, thinking of going to see Concubine Chen, so she raised her feet and walked to the harem.
It's just that fate has always liked to play tricks on people, she wanted to see Concubine Chen, but when she just entered the harem, she didn't take two steps before she saw Concubine Xian from a distance.
couldn't dodge, Shen Yan had to bow his hand lightly: "Kang He has seen Concubine Xian. ”
Her courtesy was perfunctory, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that she didn't deal with Concubine Xian very well.
But Concubine Xian has always had a good reputation in the harem, Xiaoxing and Feng Fang were waiting on the side, and they really didn't know when the two would get married.
Fortunately, Concubine Xian didn't plan to bother with her about these etiquette.
Concubine Xian saw Xiaoxing carrying a box of pastries in her hand, so she said lightly: "The eldest princess is going to find Concubine Chen?" ”
Everyone in the harem knows that the eldest princess and Concubine Chen are better, and the concubine is the elder brother of the family that Concubine Chen just recognized, and there is such a relationship, and the two are even more unusual.
"Concubine Xian Niangniang is going to Zichen Hall to find the imperial brother at this time?"
Shen Yan looked at Concubine Xian's faintly smiling face and said.
She was born elegant, but what she did was so despicable!
Promise her sister to her husband as a concubine. Is this something that the daughter of a big family should do?
"That's right, there will be a master in the harem soon, and this palace is going to discuss with Your Majesty."
As she spoke, Concubine Xian was about to lift her feet and leave.
"Niangniang, she is your sister, how can you make such a decision?"
When passing by, Shen Yan said coldly in a low voice.
"The eldest princess has not been recuperating in the mansion recently, but she has made a lot of trouble, and even wants to be the head of my Cui family? This palace tells you that the Cui family will never have an outsider's turn to point fingers, even if you are the eldest princess! ”
Not to be outdone, Concubine Xian also whispered to Shen Yan.
The two stood in the long palace road, hating each other.
The wind blew, bringing up the broken hair on Shen Yan's sideburns, fluttering between the two.
"You just think, even if Cui Ying enters the palace, it is just a contour, and under you, there is no threat. It's a pity, Brother Fang Cai has just made a decree to make Cui Ying Concubine Li, give her to live in the Yuehua Palace, and be on an equal footing with you! ”
The corners of Shen Yan's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, and he said lazily. Sure enough, hearing her words, Concubine Xian's face stiffened, as if she couldn't believe it.
Cui Ying is just a concubine, even if the emperor accepts her into the palace, it is impossible to give her too high a position.
But that's the reality.
Concubine Xian quickly sorted out her mood, and returned to her usual steadiness again, and her face changed quickly, which made Shen Yan can't help but admire.
"If Your Majesty makes her a concubine, it will also be the glory of my Cui family."
Concubine Xian smiled lightly and said to her, then turned her head and left.
Xiao Xingfang was frightened by the sword-like conversation between the two, and when he saw Concubine Xian walking away, he stepped forward and said to Shen Yan: "Your Highness, why did you just talk to Concubine Xian like this?" If she goes to the Zichen Hall for a while and adds some oil and vinegar, wouldn't it be bad for you? ”
Feng Fang also echoed and said: "Concubine Xian Niangniang is the daughter of the Cui family, supreme dignity, if she wants to do something, His Royal Highness is afraid that she will suffer!" ”
Hearing the worried words of the two, Shen Yan was also a little helpless.
"There's no way, I just heard the royal brother say that Concubine Xian actually sent her own sister to the palace, and I was a little angry."
Xiaoxing cooperated and said: "If you can't be angry, you can't be angry, don't dare to be so reckless next time, if you want to say that the most angry person now should be Miss Su Qi next to the queen's mother." ”
"Yes, yes, Miss Cui has a heart, even if she doesn't have a heart, she should be a pair with Qiao Shilang! Let her enter the palace is really a stick to beat the mandarin ducks. But Miss Su Qi is different, she has been running for His Majesty since she entered the palace. But the queen mother only made her a personal female official. Now she knows that Concubine Xian Niangniang has made her clan sister a concubine, and she has to be angry. ”
Wind Blemish said as she spoke.
Such gossip washed away a trace of depression in his heart, and Shen Yan smiled, only feeling extremely tired.
