Not long after Cui Jinxi returned to Xue Xuan, Li Dezhong came over with a few eunuchs to pass the word. The eldest duke next to the emperor came to pass the word, Cui Jinxi had to go out to greet him in person, not to mention that even the queen had to give Li Dezhong three points of face.

"The slave greets Cui Guiren."

Elegant? Cui Jinxi reacted suddenly, this is the emperor who gave her a promotion. With joy on her face, "Father-in-law, please get up."

"Thank you. The emperor promoted your position early in the morning, and this non-slave immediately rushed to say hello, congratulations to Cui Guiren. ”

This emperor is too picky, why don't you just promote and not reward things, Cui Jinxi smacked his lips: I still want to follow the emperor to make extra money, she is all in vain.

After Li Dezhong finished speaking, Cui Jinxi gave Tingxue a look. Listening to Xue take out some silver and stuff it into Li Dezhong's hand, Cui Jinxi said, "Father-in-law Li will take it to drink tea."

Li Dezhong accepted the silver: "Xie Cui nobleman, the slave will retire."

After Li Dezhong left, the father-in-law of the Internal Affairs Office came, Cui Jinxi is now a nobleman, and the Internal Affairs Office sent a few palace maids and eunuchs. She now has four eunuchs who watch the courtyard, four rough palace maids, one personal palace maid and one palace maid in charge.

This palace maid in charge was assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Cui Jinxi saw that this palace maid named An Chun was a few years older than her: "An Chun, where did you work on an errand before?"

An Chun knelt on the ground, her temperament was neither humble nor arrogant, and she looked steady and responsible: "Back to the nobles, the slave maid used to work in Wang Guiji's place, and then Wang Guiji died of illness, and the slave maid was sent to the Huanyi Bureau."

Cui Jinxi knew that An Chun was not lying, her expression was normal, and she didn't look afraid of the light at all.

She looked at the few palace people kneeling below and said word by word: "Since you are here in my palace, you have to do things for me wholeheartedly, I am better than you, we are both prosperous and lossy." Do you hear me? ”

"Servants must be loyal to their nobles."

"Listen to the snow, reward."

After Cui Jinxi finished speaking, he called An Chun to the house: "An Chun, you will be my palace maid from now on." I just entered the palace and there are still many things I don't know very well, so you have to mention me more in the future after you stay in the palace for a long time. ”

An Chun expressed her attitude to her, saying that she would do her best to do her duty as a palace maid and never let down her master's trust in her.

Cui Jinxi is also tired from this toss, no matter how many sevens and twenty-one are, lie down in bed and sleep for a while. Before she could sleep for a while, she was woken up by Tingxue: "Master, Concubine Rou sent someone to deliver something."

She doesn't seem to have seen Concubine Rou yet, and she doesn't know how Concubine Rou would send someone to deliver something. An Chun saw that she was suspicious, so she stepped forward to Cui Jinxi's ear: "The master doesn't know, Concubine Rou was sick two days ago, and the emperor exempted her from going to Kunning Palace to ask the queen for peace." An Chun also added a sentence later: Concubine Rou is the more favored mother of the harem, let her pay attention to proportion.

Cui Jinxi was sitting in the outer hall, and the chief eunuch in the Roufei Palace came in with two little eunuchs.

"Say hello to Cui Guiren."

The chief eunuch used to speak: "Concubine Rou Niangniang heard that Cui Guiren slept yesterday and was promoted today, so she asked the servants to send two things to express her congratulations."

After speaking, two eunuchs came over with the box, and Tingxue stepped forward to take the box in the eunuch's hand and held it in his arms.

"Then the minion will take his leave."

Cui Jinxi smiled repeatedly: "Father-in-law has a cup of tea and then leaves?"

"The minions don't dare."

Cui Jinxi opened the box and contained a bracelet and a bead hairpin, and she played with the bead hairpin: What is this called a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken? She thought she would meet this concubine.

"Did you get something?" Concubine Rou sat in the vanity mirror and asked in the mirror.

"Hui Niangniang's slave personally sent things to Cui Guiren, and Cui Guiren had a very good attitude and said a lot of good things."

Concubine Rou touched the bun combed by the palace maid just now with her hand and smiled: "Does she dare to save my face as a nobleman?"

"Niangniang is a concubine, she will never dare. Besides, the emperor loves Niangniang, which is comparable to her as a nobleman. ”

Concubine Rou had a little sadness on her face: "Three more beauties have entered the palace, I don't know if the emperor will remember the palace."

Xiangqiao, the palace maid beside Concubine Rou, took out her favorite begonia hairpin from the jewelry box, which was also given by the emperor, and inserted it on her head: "Niangniang is talking nonsense again, since Niangniang entered the palace, the emperor has been pampering Niangniang." I heard that Cui Guiren was arranged by the queen in the Snow Pavilion, that place is small and remote, if the emperor likes Cui Guiren, how can he let her live in that place. Don't bother yourself, the weather is good today, why don't you go out for a walk? ”

Xiangqiao's words made Concubine Rou, who was still worried about the emperor's favor of the new show girl, let go of a lot of prejudices, and she wished that the emperor hated them. Since she entered the palace, she amazed the emperor because of a dance, and the emperor has always been good to her for so many years. Although there are not many concubines in the emperor's harem, the emperor spends more time going to her than with other concubines.

The emperor has a cold personality but is handsome, and Concubine Rou has a good love for the emperor, and he often sends her to dance in the Palace of Raising the Heart, so she has a little more opportunity to get along with Shen Xuanxin, so she becomes even more infatuated with the emperor when she comes and goes.

But the emperor is not the emperor of her alone, he has many women. Last night, I heard that the emperor pampered Cui Guiren Concubine Rouxin and didn't sleep all night, and the emperor only saw the newcomer laughing but not the old crying. The three show girls and two are still unlucky, I don't know if the emperor will treat them like he did to her.

Concubine Rou handed her hand to Xiangqiao: "Let's go, it's boring to lie in the palace for two days."

Xiangqiao carefully helped her mother to walk in the direction of the imperial garden. Her mother is jealous, and she can't see which concubine the emperor is better with, and she will be jealous if she is a little better. The emperor likes them to be well-behaved and good at dancing, so she is just jealous in her heart and doesn't dare to show it in front of the emperor.

The imperial garden is in the north of Kunning Palace, and the ladies in the palace are accustomed to running to this place. The reason is that the emperor often goes to the imperial garden for a walk, and the concubines want to have a chance encounter with the emperor.

With such good weather, how can there be only one concubine in the imperial garden. Xiangqiao helped Concubine Rou to a rockery, and she just wanted to sit down when she heard someone talking on the other side of the rockery.

"Hey, have you heard? Cui Jieyu and Cui Guiren are sisters. This morning, in the queen's palace, Concubine Shu said that the two of them were comparable in appearance, and Cui Jieyu was angry. When she got out of Kunning Palace, she humiliated Cui Guiren. ”

"Ah, there is such a great hatred between sisters."

"Who knows, which of these is easy to mess with. Yesterday, Cui Guiren slept in bed, I don't know how many people were red-eyed. ”

"Shhhh

Concubine Rou smiled weirdly after hearing this, this Cui Guiren is interesting, it seems that her life in the palace will not be too easy in the future. She also thought that if Cui Guiren would favor her in the future, she would find an opportunity to get rid of her, and now it seems that she doesn't need to borrow her hand.

In recent years, there has been no more favored concubine in the palace than her, and she does not allow the emperor to treat other women better than her. She is full of affection for the emperor, and she will never allow other women to cross her.

"Yo, isn't this Concubine Rou? It's not about how you got out of your illness. Concubine Xian came over from the opposite side with a group of people, Concubine Xian entered the palace two years earlier than her, she was older than her, she also gave birth to a second prince, and she was a person who could speak in front of the emperor, she would not do anything against Concubine Xian.

Concubine Rou said softly: "If you feel bored in the palace, you will come out for a walk, and my sister will also come to enjoy the flowers?"

Concubine Xian sat down opposite Concubine Rou: "I happened to be tired of walking, and I happened to see my sister here, so I came to sit down, my sister has no opinion, right?"

"My sister can come, my sister is welcome."

Concubine Xian was lucky, the mother of the two princes and the third prince in the palace went to the queen's name, and the eldest prince was born to the queen and died at the age of three. The second prince was born to Concubine Xian, and in the future, he could not keep his mother and his son expensive.

The emperor does not have many heirs, only five children. Two princes and three princesses, Concubine Rou also wants to give birth to a child for the emperor, but her belly is not angry. When he first entered the palace before, the emperor would give him avoidance soup every time he was lucky, but later he didn't give her stomach, and there was no movement.

I don't know if I drank too much shunzi soup and hurt my body, Concubine Rou smiled bitterly in her heart. Concubines of low rank are not able to raise their own children, and they must be supported by others after birth. The emperor told her at that time that of course she didn't want her child to be raised by others, so she willingly drank the soup to avoid children, and now she .........

"What does my sister think?" Concubine Xian's voice rang in her ears.

Concubine Rou shook her head: "I'm a little distracted for a while, my sister shouldn't laugh at my sister."

"It's not early, I'll go back to the palace first, and my sister will come back quickly when she sits down for a while." The palace maid beside Concubine Xian helped her to stand up and leave.

Concubine Rou sat in the imperial garden for two hours and didn't see the emperor's figure, so she replied disappointed
